the State ticket must perforce, TO
that extent, be weakened. Had a
candidate been selected upon whom
ali shades of opinion could have
united, and this was easily possible,
he would have attracted the full
vote and made the local canvass
in different sections far more hope
full As the matter now stands
there will be great temptation TO
trade for self interest. In fact we
believe the real fight in the cam
paign has just commenced and that
from now on silent, if not open,
warfare will be carried on within
the party. Several Congressional
Districts are close, and slight defec-
tions will defeat the Republican can
didate. We hope there will be
none, and that the party will unite
and present unbroken ranks to the
enemy, remembering that it is far
better to work for the publication
and strength of the party within
the ranks than without. Let every
one remain true TO his colors and
be Republican

who used to be on the stan Of ex-Gov
McEnery of Louisiana, once told in the
old St Charles Hotel. It was rather

about various wonderful doughty deeds
they had done In their salad days and

THE STATE TICKET.

THE Republican State Convention
met at Harrisburg June 2, and
placed in nomination the ticket
which heads this column. There
are many who believed that it
would not be wise to select the rep
resentative of either of the fac
tions in the State as a candidate for
Governor, and would have been bet
ter pleased had the choice fallen
on some one not so closely identi-
fed with what is called the Quay
irtiuence. Not that we believe the
Senator is obnoxious to the Repub-
licans of Pennsylvania, but because
there are many sections where those
who assume to be his supporters
and followers have made themselves
so by peculiar methods which are
unsatisfactory to the rank and file.
Whatever of detection there may
from the party at November, and
there will be some, will be in great
part aimed at the local leaders. and

We VIII Make Their,

We can "point with pride" to
the fact that everything needed for
war purposes is produced in our
own Country, and that Russia is now
coming here to buy her war vessels.
The late wonderful performance of
the Oregon, built in San Francisco
proves that our ships are perfect
specimens of construction and endu-
rance and that our machinery has
a world wide fame is shown by the
orders for seventy seven locomotives
just received from the Russian
Government by the Baldwin loco
motive Works. In addition to these
the Baldwin people have booked
orders since April for ten for New
Zealand, six for Spain, five for Egypt
two for Argentina and one for Mexico
The Richmond works have received
an order for seventeen locomotives
III ""P"hi hioAinS u tOtttl VI ninety
four export orders in one week
Other orders received by American
bnilders from foreign countries
since April bring the grand total
up to 175, and still further contracts
are pending for delivery of locomo-
tives in Russia and Mexico. Another
instance of the triumph of intelligent
labor highly paid. 1t is the Amer
ican policy which has made possible
Unsuccessful invasion of foreign
markets with American product

THE REPUBLICAN CONVEN
TION

No ONE who has followed the
trend of events during the past few
weeks in this State could seriously
doubt the outcome of the conven-
tion which met June 2 That the
unexpected might happen many
hoped no doubt, but deep down in
their consciousness they knew the
inevitable. Mr. Wanamaker made
a strong canvass and succeeded in
arousing a strong sentiment in tn e
State. His assertions in regard
to the incapacity and recklessness
of the last Legislature found IA lodg
ment in many minds, and bore fruit
in the number of delegates elected
for him.
The war will tend TO break up the
old party lines, and in fact both
parties are a unit now on that ques-
tion. Hardly any thing remains as
an issue but the manner in which
our State affairs are and have been
administered, hence with the party
collars loosely fitting it behoovos the
leaders and those who control State
matters to beware There have been
disastrous royolts in the past and
some events seem to fore shadow
that the future is fast ripening for
a recurrence, unless the remedy of
economical and honest methods are
carefully applied.
