GOVERNORS OPEN HOUSE.

GOVERNORS OPEN HOUSE.
Governor Hastings had open house"
today at the executive department. He
was at his office before Q o'clock and
remained until late this afternoon re-
Ceiving delegates and visitors. The
executive is in sympathy with the
Wanamaker movement, although he
has not taken an active part in his
canvass. He says he has been too busy
filling Pennsylvania quota of vol
unteerS under the calls of President
Mckinley. Secretary of the Common
wealth Martin, Attorney General Nc
Cormick and Bank Commissioner Gill
keson are the only members of the
state administration who have taken
a hand in the campaign and they have
stood by Wanamaker. The bulk Of the
state officials on capitol hill are friend
ly to Senator quay and have been
among Colonel Stones most enthusiasts
tic shouters.
The W. A. Stone roOters made a
street demonstration this evening.

tary of internal affairs was chief mar
shal. The Union Veteran legion, of
Allegheny, headed the procession and

! Al midnight Francis j. Terrence, of
! Allegheny, chairman of the w. A.
| Stone campaign committee, said the

WANAMAKER'S STATEMENT.
| Mr.. Wanamaker gave out the fol-
| lowing statement at midnight:
Tho first skirmish is going on today.
| Intense interest is manifested in the
| manouvres for position. Senator Quay
| left his hiding and settled down in the
| w. A. Stone rooms. All secrecy as to
| who owned the w. A. Stone candidate is
| abandoned and the process of jammnG
| him through begins.
| 1t is a novel sight to see the two United
| States senators transfer their senate
! chairs from Washington to the private
| rooms of the Lochicl MOTEL The war
| measures and movement of troops ana
| raising national revenues are of no conSe-
! qucnCe i'm comparison with running the
| state machinery to nominate a slated cam
| didate, thereby endorsing the last legis-
| lature and confirming it's operations.
| Whatever the outcome of tomorrow
may be. the result will be seen to be very
| close Nobody but the blindest machine
man here que stions the change that has
| come over the state in opposition to the
| boss system and prophecies of defeat Of
| any machine candidate are plcntier than
! flies in summer time. 1t is certainly the
| closest call the machine has had. and il II
wins will bring upon it worse lombard
ment than Admiral Dewey poured into
| Manila. Self-prOtection of the candi-
| dates and bosses is narrow policy and
means party destruction.
At midnight Senator McCarrell with
drew in favor of General Goblin.
