Oct Together by All Means.

Tho compromise committee OF the Re-
publican party have an opportunity to
make both name and fame for their re-
spective committees. There is only one
way Of getting together and settling all
past differences and that Ia for both wings
to be willing TO give and take. Neither
side could or should expect to have every.
ching their own way. We sincerely hope
that neither committee will come to the
conclusion that there is nothing to give
and take on and agree to disagree because
they both cannot have their way In every
thing that comes before them for adjust
Ment. From the make up Of the Union
Committee and the proposed members Of
the Regular Committee, we don't look for
any compromise, If too much chin IN usic

of the best equipped parties that have

The Philadelphia Leader to Be Sec
rotary Of Pennsylvania.
CHANGES THAT WILL FOLLOW.

Colonel Barnett, the Deputy Score
rary, Will Step Down and Out at
Once-General Rseder, the Retiring
Secretary, Arrested For Libel.
Harrisburg, Sept. 1s.--On Saturday
Governor Hastings announced that he
had rendered David Martin. Of Phila-
delphia, the position Of secretary of
the commonwealth, vacated by the re-
signation of General Frank Reeder, and
that the Philadelphia leader had noti-
fled him that he would accept the place
Mr.. Martin will enter upon his duties
as premier Of the commonwealth on
Wednesday. His first official act will
be to sit as member Of the board of
pardons. which meets at noon on that
day Mr.. Martins commission was
made out and forwarded to him today.
1t ID expected that the new premier
Of the administration will make some
changes In his corps Of assistants. Col
onel James g. Barnett. of Washington,
who has had charge Of the Office since
Reeder's resignation, 1t is announced,
will hand his resignation as deputy Sec
Rotary to Mr.. Martin as soon as the
latter assumes charge. Mr.. Barnett is
better known In Philadelphia for his
action in the big battle between the
administration and anti-administration
factions In the Quaker City last No
vember. In spite of the decision of the
Dauphin county court that 1t would be
a mistake for the secretary Of the COM
monwealth to certify the nomination of
the Crow candidates who were on the
Mckinley Citizens ticket, Barnett GER
titled the nominations In the absence
of General Reeder. The result was the
election of Grow. and the defeat of
Speaker Walton for the senate to sue
coed Senator Charles A. Porter. Martin
never forgot Barnett's action, although
General Reeder is believed to have
given 1t his approval.
Colonel B. Frank Eshelman, of Lam
caster. who Is judge advocate general
of the National Guard. ia mentioned as
a possible successor to Barnett. He is
a close personal friend Of the governor
and has long been his lieutenant in
Lancaster county. 1t may be. however,
that the new secretary may choose
some one who is personal friend as
his deputy.
Another removal which It Is thought
will take place without delay is that
of Edward c. Baxter, the colored mes
senger of the department of state, who
Is a friend Of State Senator Durham.
