Withdrew as Candidate For Democratic
GubernatoriaI Nomination In
Pennsylvania.

PITTsBUEG, June 21.-James NJ. Guf.
fey has quit the gubernatorial race. In
a speech to the Allegheny county dele.
gates 30 the state convention Saturday
afternoon Mr.. Guifey formally an.
nounced his withdrawal, counseled
against the nomination of Judge James
Gay Gordon, and warmly indorsed
George A. jerks, who, through Mr..
Guftey's influence, will undoubtedly be
nominated at Wednesdays convention.
1t was a complete clearing away of the
political clouds, and leaves the situation
under bright light. General a. II Coff-
roth of Somerset county, while in the
city yesterday, also with N2w from the
contest, and he and his followers will be
found with the Guffey following at the
convention.
This further cleared the atmosphere,
and leaves George A. jerks, with Mr..
Gutfey and the Democratic forces sup
porting him, and Judge Gordon, and
the anti-Quay Republican leaders of
Philadelphia supporting him, in the con.
test for tirst honors at the conyention.
The delegates from this countyNlnani-
mously and with cheers indorsed George
a. jerks for governor and pledged him
their support IN the convention.

The Republican family feud in Cleve-
land is by no means settled, even if
their state convention did decide in
favor of the Hanna delegation, notwith.
standing its defeat at the primaries and
in the county convention.
Next Saturday the circuit judicial con-
vention will meet 10 nominate a candi-
date. Cuyahoga county is entitled to
60 delegates and the other three coun-
ties, Lorain, Medina and Summit, are
entitled to32 altogether The McKis-
son delegation of IS, and that OF the
boiling Hanna convention, will each
claim the right, and then will come the
tug of war. How shall it be decided is
the problem?
1t would be curious to have the con.
testing delegations stand aside till the
32 from the other counties shall
say which 50 is regular and entitled to
participate in the proceedings, 1t may
result in two conventions and two
nominations and then it will devove on
the board of elections to say which name
shall go on the official ballot.
The board Of elections for Cuyahoga
county will determine tonight as to
which of the two committees of Is is
regular. 1t is said the McKisson COM
mittee will be recognized. And so be-
lieving the Hanna committee will have
no legal representative before tie board
and will carry their case to the highest
court if necessary. 1t is quite mix.

flagship, the ironclad Emperador Carlos

torpedoboats and five transports carry

LONDON, June 27.-Lloyd's agent at

armored cruiser Emperador Carlos
Quintos, the torpedoboat destroyers
Ossado, Audaz and Proserpine, the
transports Patricia and Buenos Ayres
and the Isla de Panay, Colon, Cova-
donga, Rapida and San Francisco.
MADRID, June 27.-The arrival of the
Spanish fleet at Port Said caused no
surprise here, Admiral Camara having
announced that he was going to the
Philippines.
The threat of the American govern
ment to attack the Spanish coast has
had no effect. A third squadron is pre-
pairing for the defense of the coast.
A member Of the cabinet in an inter-
view yesterday said LET them come.
We will receive them as they deserve"
WASHINGTON June 27.-Notwith-
standing the report of the arrival of
Admiral Camara's squadron at Port
Said, the westerly entrance to the Suez
canal the officials here still doubt that
the vessels are bound for the Philip
pines. Rumors re ch here, unconfrmed
as yet, that the only ironclads in the
squadron, the Pelayo and Carlos ",
have left the squadron and returned to
Spain, SO that Camara no longer pos
sesses force that would threaten
Dewey. If this be so either the Span
iards have realized the folly of leaving
their home ports unprotected, or they
have received information from the
British government that the navigation
Of the Suez canal cannot be jeopardized
by allowing such deep draft, unwie!dy
ironclads to attempt the passage.
Some attention has been attracted at
the State department by the dispatch
from Madrid TO British paper, stating
that Camara's purpose is not to attack
Dewey, but to seize and hold with his
ships and troops another island in the
Philippine group. 1t is suspected, if
this be so, that the object is purely dip
lomatic, the Spanish government being
anxious to truthfully assert, in the
event that peace negotiations are forced
upon 1t, that the United States is not in
such complete occupancy of the Philip
pines as would justify demand for
their retention as one of the terms of
peace.

A proposition has been made in the
Senate to deter vote on the Hawaiian
resolution until next December. Some
conservative Republican Senators who
favor annexation rather incline to this
delay. The sugar senators are likely to
insist upon voting in the leper island
at once. Raising sugar by Chinese and
Japanese cheap labor is very profitable,
especially with as good market as the
United States at hand. Under the reci-
procity treaty made in 1875 Hawaiian
grown sugar was admitted to this
country duty free. The imports ofsugsr
have increased in value from $4,000, 900
in 1877 under this treaty to Sl3, 1856, 1873
in 1897. We take little from Hawaii but
sugar, the total imports for 1897 being
but $52l 900 in excess of the sugar
values imported.
Last year had Hawaii paid duties as
Germany and the West Indies did, our
treasury would have got 1926, ISL,
This was just given to the few Hawaiian
sugar growers. Since 1877 the Hawaiian
sugar kings have profted in this way to
the extent Of sixty millions. 1t is no
wonder the sugar business there has ex-
panded. In 1877 they only sent US 3O,.
$4,000 pounds, while last year the
amount was 431, ,217 900 pounds. The
number OF those cheap laborers in
Hawaii is between forty and fifty thou
sand. Counting the native Ksnakas,
Chinese, japanese and Portuguese they
number hundred thousand. Is this q
desirable population? Shall we obey
the millionaire sugar kings and accom-
modate them by annexation?

THAT a4o.ooo JON.

Our citizens we're greatly surprised,
not to say startled, by the account on
the first page Of the News-Democrat
Of yesterday, the 23rd inst, expos
ingin detail the contract en-.
tered into and duly signed by
the county commissioners Of the one
part and Recorder Joseph Reed Of the
other part, engaging the latter to do a
OBJ Of indexing which would cost the
county in the neighborhood Of $4,000.
1t is not necessary to state that this
Job was not advertised duly and let out
to the lowest responsible bidder. 1t
seems to have just leaked out, ,as 1t were,
accidentally. 1t does not look as If the
design was to make the matter public at
all, for our reporter found 1t very diff
cult to get full and free statement from
either of the commissioners, for proof
of which we refer our readers to the re-
port given yesterday.
In proof of the clandesine manDer in
which this diabolical contract was en-
tered into 1t does not appear in the com.
missioners journal Of their proceedings.
This feature in the matter tells its own
tale and can hardly be explained salts.
factorily. Why was not matter Of
this importance done in open public ses-
sion? why was it not entered in the
ournal? Take it all in all, does it not
look crooked?
The organ of the commissioners yes.
terday gives brief statement under the
head of, "Idle Rumors-No $40, 900 Con.
tract Made for County Records, etc.
By reading through the article however,
1t is seen the matter is not ''idle rumor. "
In proof are given the following extract
RECORDER REED TALKS.
Recorder Reed was asked whether he
had q contract for the indexing of the
records of the office in the new system
of books or whether the new system had
been adopted by the commissioners.
He said 81 at present have no con.
tract. Yes the commissioners entered
into contract with Mr.. Cott for one set
of books but after rescinded tho con.
tract and ordered il cancelled.
"To be frank about the matter" con
tinued Mr.. Reed, 81 did have contract
but transferred it to another party
whose name will not disclose at pres
ent."
The article relates how Mr.. Reed ex'
tolled the plan and claimed 1t would be
grand and profitable Improvement
No doubt it would be to the indexer at
cents line!
And Mr.. Reed was frank enough tc
admit he "did have contract" but has
transferred it to another party" Mr.
Reed was not frank enough about the
matter to give the name of the trans.
fsrree. This transfer of the contract to
an innocent party will keep 1t good
and the probability is the contract is moi
cancelled, though so claimed.
Take this scheme all in all, it Is GER
tainly a crooked, not to say disgraceiul
affair. The people Of Stark county
should be fully informed concerning il
and it will not be the fault of the News,
Democrat if they are not.
