Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1895-08-09


Since the fight in the Republican
ranks began, twenty-five delegates
have been elected to the coming
State convention from the following
counties: Lackawanna. 6; Centre, 2;
Clcarield, 3; Green, l; Sullivan, ];
Columbia, /; Northampton, 4; and
Bucks, 4, and the summary is as
follows:
For Hastings and Gilkcson 70
For Cameron and Quay 2
To the Hastings column may be
added the following delegates chosen
prior to the opening o. Senator
Quays fight on the administration
viz:
Allegheny 25; Bradford 3; Blair 4;
Cambria 8; Washington 4; Wyoming
l; making total of 60.
The following are expected to go
to the Hastings column, Philadelphia
65; Luzerne 9; Lycoming 8; Lehigh
4; Montgomery 6; Westmoreland 3;
York 5; making the Hastings total
l59; others will be added, Quay's
defeat therefore seems assured.
Luzerne holds her convention Aug
ust 8. The Wilkes Barre Record
says:
If it is true that Qnay expects to
pick up his delegates throughout the
State he had better begin. So far, he
has made mighty poor showing
On Saturday the primaries will be
held in Luzerne, and he must not
look for any better treatment here
than he has received anywhere else,
Luzerne is solid for the administers

Saturdays Delegate Elections,
Phila. Press Aug 9th.
The elections in several counties
on Saturday for delegates to the
Republican State Convention sum
up very much as was conceded by
"'rhe Press on Saturday morning,
except in Luzerne County, where the
Administration appears to have
carried district that had been quite
generally conceded to the Quay
people.
Governor Hastings gets the nine
delegates in Luzerne county, where
but seven were expected, and also
one in Lacka wanna, which with the
six previously elected in that country
makes the whole delegation OF seven
solid for the Administration. Sens
ator Quay gets the delegates from
Dauphin, Mr.. Cameron home coun-
tv; the one from Clinton, the one
from Elk and the two from Hunting
don, while the reports from Susque-
hanna leave that county somewhat
in doubt. 1t will be something of
surprise, under all the circumstances
if it has not gone for Quay. There
was no contest in Dauphin county,
where Mr.. Cameron's friends are
dominant, and for the sake Of Mr..
Cameron's future wanted the dele~
CATION for Quay. Nor was there
any contest in Elk, where the Quay
candidate was elected without ops
position. In Clinton county ex-Con
gresham Hopkins, being a free
silver sympathizer with Senator
Cameron, made the fight in behalf of
the Quay delegate, and the result is
not unexpected. In Huntingdon
Judge Orlady's delegates have been
beaten.
These results in no wise change
the original calculations, save to
better the figures of the Administers
tion supporters SO far as Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties are con-
cerned. The counties that Quay
carried on Saturday have very gen.
orally been conceded to him by those
capable Of making conservative
and fair estimate, and he was origi-
nally conceded two Of the Lacka-
wanna delegates and four Of those
from Luzerne. In these two coun-
ties, however, he will have not one.
Leaving Susquehanna in doubt, the
total number of delegates elected
since Senator Quay opened war
upon the State Admnistra-
tion by declaring his purpose to de.
feat Chairman Gilleson is forty zone.
These are divided as follows:
For Hastings and Gilkcson 80
For Quay and Cameron IL
Showing that the Governor has
carried almost three delegates to
Senator Quay's one. Let it be re-
