AFTER THE sPEAKERsHIP

In anticipation of his reelection
to the House of Representatives and
that the majority in the house will
be Republican, Representative Ben
jamin K Focht, of Union County,
is making pilgrimage through the
state working for his election as
Speaker, Mr.. Focht has been a
candidate for Speaker in other yearst
but he was never so much in earnest
as he is this time. ''If the country
members stand by me, he says 81
will be the next Speaker Philadel-
phia has the last two Speakers and
it is the country's turn now, l am
candidate and propose to stay in
the field until ihe Republican
Legislative caucus makes a nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Focht says that his friends all
over the state have urged him to
this course and that they are aiding
in this canvas. He expects to
make a thorough canvass after the
election, but he will not neglect any
thing between now and November
Mr.. Foeht believes that things com
planned of as existing IN the last
Legislature such as extravaganza in
election contests, appropriations to
supernumeraries, ect., can be rem
edied by enacting laws limiting ex-
penses of election, investigating
committees, ect. Excesses, he says
have been due to the following OF
old customs which were all right one
year ago, but all wrong the next
He suggested remedial legislation at
the last session and if returned will
have something to introduce on the
same lines.

MAY MEAN A STRIKE

During the week an appeal was is
sued by the Central Pennsylvania
Miners officials fer a meeting, and
unless matters are adjusted amicably
when they discuss the situation with
the operators it is more than likely
that a general strike will result,
Such a condition of af fairs is to be
deplored, and it is the hope of every
individual that some satisfactory
terms will be agree d upon, thus
avoiding any probability of a repet-
ition of the unfortunate experience
of the Hazelton section last fall, at
which time the State troops were
called upon to suppress the disorder
Recollections of that trouble are still
fresh and it is sincerely hoped that
good sound wisdom will prevade
when the convention is in session
although the results for which they
are striving do not materialize imme-
diately' The appeal to the miners
is dated Pittsburg and reads as fol-

conception, and regardless of their

state Primaries s

Last Saturday primary elections
were held in several counties in the
State with rather mixed results.
Lancaster went for Quay and c..
c. Kaufman, State Senator,
was defeated for re-nom-
ination. Franklin Comfy dele
gates will go to the Convention un-
instructed. Quay won in Indiana.
Blair sends five delegates for Wan
namaker, and Mercer four for G. w.
Stone.
They are so many delegates yet to
be elected that it is impossible Ia fore
cast the complexion of the Conven-
tion. Whether it will be for Quay
is not the question which his oppo-
nents are making the real issue, but
whether there will be in the State
such a sentiment of opposition as to
make it manifest that exceeding
care must be taken as TO the char
acter and previous political predilec-
tions for the nominee for Governor

DEMooRATIo MEETINe.

THF FAITHFUL BLEND THEIR VIEWS.
A highly respectable audience led
by few party schemers met at the
Court House Monday evening, to
perform the usual rites and ceEemo-
nies pertaining TO the annual DEM
ocratic conclave. The meeting was
spirited from start to finish with the
harmony rag waving in triumph
over the heads of the assemblage.
An organization was effected by
electing Hon. j. d. Houck, Pres
ident, with Hon, ]. j. Hart, and
Samuel Simons vice-presidents
and Josiah F. Terwilliger, Secretary.
Hon. John d. Houck was elected @
delegate to the State convention,
and the county committee of last
year, viz: Jacob b. Westbrook, G. w.
Bull, Hon. Jacob Klaer, GA. Swep-
eniser, and w. F. Beck were unan-
imously reelected. Acting then
on the suggestion of the Monroe
County brethren, who have served
notice thatif the party wants to play,
in their back yard and slide down
cellar doors, or spiel hide and seek
behind the clothes horse, it must
get on its basis, and come to a rep
resentation. A Committee consisting
of the members elect of the County
Committee was appointed to meet
similar committees, or conferee s,
from the other counties to agree on
a basis of apportionment Of the Con-
gressional terms. This duty per-
formed, it was during few minutes
of silence, resolved to send the news
to Hanna, and Mutchler, and Barber,
all of whom were awaiting in breath
less suspense the outcome of the
pregnant moments. After this de-
| Iliverance such an atmosphere of
emptiness pervaded the assemblage
that a motion for an adjournment
for filling purposes was warmly sec
onded and speedily carried, and an
other notch was cut in the Demo-
cratic stick to mark an era to the
party.

UP SHEP4RD'S ADIICE.

That was an extremely convincing argument
against the election of his friend Mr.. van
Wyck that Mr. Edward NJ. Shepard made the
other night in Brooklyn. He said:
Again and again independents have elected
a good man on the theory that all that IS re-
quired is 10 have good man in Once; Again
and again they have been disa! POINTED IN the
nractical results | tell you. felloW-citiZens.
democrats and Republicans. that much more Is
necessary: that the best of men In any once
is himself. and against his Will however
powerful in chief measure the creature OF the
conditions or the instrument OF the forces
which surround hln.
Mr.. Van Wyck is generally conceded 10 be a
man Of excellent personal character. He would
doubtless try To give an honest administration
of the Governors Office if he were elected, hut,
as Mr. Shepard says the best of men are crea-
lures of the conditions which surround them,
and when we have two candidates Of personal
virtue the voter must try 10 see which is most
likely 10 make his virtue tell in spite Of adverse
conditions Mr.. Shepard does not like the
methods of the Republican machine. He fore
sees about Colonel Roosevelt as Governor forces
which would strive to prevent him doing the
good he would. And he sees standing back OF
Mr. Van Wyck Mr.. Croker and Tammany Hall.
Now does any voter, even though he thinks
many, and has 10 choice between Mr.. Tlatt
and Mr. Croker, honestly doubt for an instant
as to which one of the two candidates would
first rise superior TO adverse forces? We do not
think So Men may convince themselves that
they ought to vote for Mr.. Van Wyck for one
reason or another but We do not believe that
auy man has The least doubt that Colonel R0ose-
Welt would he more likely 10 be an Independent
