POLITICAL POINTS.


Ing Republican paper of Missouri, ex-
presses the opinion that a state like Penn
sylvania, that polls about half a million
Republican votes, ought to be able among
that number to find at least one man
TO succeed Cameron, who will represent
Republican principles in the United States
senate. The trouble is not the finding of
a man of that stripe. but of electing him,
as against the powerful machinery that
Cameron has heretofore been able TO con-
troll. But IL the Republican papers keep
up the fire on the senior senator he will
have to 60 this time.
IL
After the first Of January Governor NC
Knley will be a private citizen, and viii
have plenty of time to look after his prcsi-
Dental fences. II his prospects Tor
residential domination were less promis-
ing than they are the Republicans of Ohio
would probably before This have made
movement in his behalf for a seat in the
Uiited States senate. As 1t IS. eX-Gover-
nor Foraker seems to have the call Tor the
senatorsh!p and Mckinley will either be-
came president OF remain a private eitizen
for some years.
If
The Harrisburg l'atrioe, Democrauc
disavows the allegations recently made
that it is the personal organ of Senator
Cameron. II t is not the Patriot should
frankly state GDon whose authority II
made the declaration that Senator CAM
eron would not be o candidate Tor re-
election. 1t is published within sight or
the senator's Harrisburg residence. and
must have had assurances from some-
body in the subject of his purposes.
The announcement that Senator quay
will turn down Congressman Dalzell IN MS
ambition to become chairman or the
house ways and means committee Is prob
ably premature. Pennsylvania should not
lost that important position through a
Pennsylvania senator, and we think Col
onel Quay will not place himself IN so
damaging a position as he would II he
turned down Mr.. Dalzel.

The Reading Herald expresses the opin-
ion that Senator Cameron will be re-
elected, not because the people want him,
but because those who make senators are
for him. The Herald adds, however, that
the senator will have to reach deeper
than ever before into his barrel. 1t Is
needless to say that out Reading contem-
porary is of the Democratic persuasion.
IL
The Pittsburg Dispatch Is convinced
that Senator Quay intends to stand Loyalty
by Pittsburg in the effort to secure the
Republican national convention for that
city. Chairman Carter. OF the national
committee, seems to favor San Francisco
first and Chicago second. A strong COM
mittee has been appointed in Pittsburg
to urge the claims of that city.
IL
CONGRESSMAN Wanger of the Bucks
Montgomery district. announces that he
will be a candidate for q third term. I'm
der the rules OF the district, Bucks IL en-
titled to the candidate next year, but that
county may waive Its claim and consent to
Montgomery having one more term. MIR.
wanger has made very satisfactory rep
resentative.
Senator David B. Hill Is not success
as lecturer, and has cancelled all re-
naming dates for which he was booked.
The receipts failed to cover the expenses.
David will occupy his seat In the senate
during the next six months ana lay out a
programme for his future political career,
and incidentally worry Mr.. Cleveland.
IL
State Senator Kline, of Luzerne. ex-
poets to be a candidate for another term
and having made a very satisfactory SEN
ator he may not encounter much opposi-
ton for the nomination, although there
are aspirants In other portions OF the coun-
ty. among them Representative Harvey,
who has served two terms in the house.
IL
Anti-Cameron mass meetings are being
held in Lancaster county to afford the n,-
merous candidates for legislative nomina-
tions an opportunity to publicly an
nounce that II nominated and elected they
will oppose Cameron's return to the SEN
ate. The senior senator has lost his grip
In old Lancaster.

Ex-Conaressman G. c. Jadwin, OF
Wayne. 1t was expected would be one Of
the delegates to the national convention
from the Fifteenth district, but 1t seems
that State Senator Hardenburg. Of Wayne,
and 8. s. Wright, of SusQuehanna, are
booked for national delegates from that
district.

Cleveland is the only president since the
war under whose administration the ma
tional debt was increased. He will be the
last one for at least a generation unless
there should be another war. Debt re-
duction will be resumed very shortly after
March 4. 1897.
1t is said that the anti-Cameron Repub-
llcsns in Lancaster county prefer ex-Min-
lister Charles Emory Smith. of the Phila-
delphia Press, to any other man for Unit
ed States senator. Mr.. Smith seems to be
growing as a candidate.

The special Washington correspondent
of the Wilkes Barre News-Dealer remarks

gress he was nearly always in-Scranton.
