We profoundly regret this action OF the
convention. !, has forced upon the party
a candidate who is d.stasteful to thousands
OF Republicans ard cannot command their
votes. II has d.sregarded and overriden
pubic sentiment to an extent that will not
easily be forgiven. 1t is most unwise
nomination. since Ii makes difficult that
which was easy. Will sacrifice close legisla-
tive and congressional districts TO the
Democrats and will intensity the dissa,is-
faction and spirit OF revolt which Is 50
strongly marked in the Republican party
In this state al the present time.-Phila-
delphia Press, Rep.
The ticket would not be strong enc II
1t did not in its chief parts represent moth

poses Of Quay.sm. He made 1t. II is his.

election OF w A. Stone for governor would
simply mean the continuance OF Quay in
ftuences In the government OF the state, an
influence that has corrupted our politics

The weakness of Col Stone is that he
has been nominated not only by the Quay
faction. hut primarily AMI chiefly through
the efforts Of the most offensive members
of the faction. He has been made the rep
resentative of their selfish interests. and
he has been supported by them with the
express purpose OF emphasizing their con-

bitterly opposed than any guberna torsal
nomination the Republicans of this state
have ever made.-Phllade-phia Bulletin.
Rep
So far as our observation goes no repre-
sentative Republican paper OF prominence

anything else than biunder and assertion
of boss power I'm It's most autocratic and
Objectionable form. The full weight of

There was a dead calm on the political
surface after the Harrisburg convention
had adjourned and the triumph Of club
politics was proclaimed throughout the
state, but the tempest is as certain 10 fol-
low as the night follows the day.
