Another Deadlock In Council.

Another deadlock has occur red amongst
the Democratic members Of City Council.
Last evening the seven members of the
ma jority met and attempted to hold u
caucus for the purpose of nominating Off.
GERS Of the Engineering and Surveying
Department to succeed Chief Engineer
Wilson and his assistants. The fight com
menced on the caucus failing to agree on
giving the Second ward representative
In the Engineering and Surveying Depart.
ment. Councilman Cannon did perfectly
right in standing out against the caucus
his claim for an appointee from the
Second ward. We glory in the spunk of
the Second ward councilman and his con-
stituents will stand by him to man in
fighting for recognition in the giving out
Of the positions which City Council has
to dispose of. City officers should have
been appointed last July, but thus far the
Democratic members Of Council have
failed to agree on who shall fill the posi-
tions and so the old officers have held over,
at which they are not complaining. 1t
looks as II the same difficulty will arise in
filling the Engineering and Surveying De-
part. At present. the Second ward is
without representation in tho city govern.
Ment and the Second ward member would
be derelict in his duty to his constituents
II he did not hold out for an appointment,
Now is the time for Mr.. Cannon to assert
his rights and insist on them. 1t is only
by sticking to the course he has mapped
out thst the Second ward will receive any
appointments. Sic EN- Towser, and may
the best man win.

The House for Gold.

The Republican party has answered tho
challenge Of its antagonists, says the Bull
letin, and reiterated with emphasis the
declaration Of its adherence to the cause
OF sound money and public faith. Tues
days vote in the House has a significance
that no American citizen can mistake. 1t
demonstrates that the Republican voters,
as represented by the men whom they
elected one year ago last fall, arc in full
accord with the policy of sanity and honor
enunciated by the President in his niomo-
rable speech at New York. If the friends
Of free silver had hoped to see the Ropub-
loan strength in the House divided on the
Teller resolution, as it was to q certain ex-
tent In tho Senate, they found that they
had reckoned without their host. The
ranks of Republicanism were virtually
unbrokep. All Republicans present, with
but two exceptions, voted to uphold the
credit Of the government and to condemn
the proposition that the United States
might pay Its debts in debased coin.
From the humblest member of the
House to the Speaker. who directed that
his own name should be called, and cast
the final vote, the Republicans were prac'
tically unanimous. Capitalists, both in
this country and In Europe will not fail

This means that tho political battle o.

currency on Tho other. Republicans can
not begin to make their preparations for
the conflict too early.

Pennsylvania Business Mon UrGe tho
Ex-Cabinet Ofiiciai's Candidacy.
Philadelphia, Feb. s--The conference
Of anti-Quay Republican manufactur-
ers and business men of Pennsylvania,
which was held in the Bourse ysster-
day. was attended by over 400 men
from all parts of the state. Every coun-
ty in the state except six was represent
ed in the gathering. The conference
was called to order by Elias Deemer, of
Williamsport, and General W. ii.
Koontz, of Somerset, was made tenn
porary charm IN. He made a brief ad-
dress upon taking the chair, in which
he referred to the supremacy of boss
ism and the determination Of independ-
ent Republicans to rid themselves Of its
influence.
A committee on permanent organiZa-
tion and platform was appointed, and
during their absence addresses were
made by Major Merrick. Of Tioga coun-
ty, and w. H. Morehead, of Crawford
county.
The resolutions adopted denounce
Senator Quay and the last legislature,
and call upon all self respecting Re-
publicans to rid the party of bossism
in every shape. The people are warned
to vote for none but men who will agree
TO use their influence as members of the
legislature to oppose Senator Quay and
his methods.
John Gheen. of Chester county, then
offered a resolution inviting Hon. John
Wanamaker, ex-postmaster general, to
permit the use of his name as candi-
date for governor. The resolution
passed with but four dissenting votes.
amid a scene of widest excitement, in
which hundreds of delegates stood on
their seats and cheered.
Great enthusiasm was aroused In the
earlier part Of the meeting by the read
ing of letter from Mr.. Wanamaker.
1t was dated Ossadow Island, Ga. Mr..
Wanamaker Expressed regret that a
prior engagement had prevented his at
tendance at the meeting, with the pur-
poses Of which he was fully in accord.
He wanted 1t distinctly understood that
he did not desire public Office, and sug-
gested several names from which could
be selected governor.
Before adjournment a permanent or
ganization for one year was formed,
with General Koontz Of Somerset, as
president. He was instructed to ap-
point campaign executive committee
of nine members. In point of numbers
and enthusiasm the meeting was the
most notable that has been held in
Pennsylvania since the Independent up
rising of 1882

The young men OF Brenford and vicin-
ity In Sussex county, are organizing a
Kenney and Handy silver club and per-
manent headquarters will DO established.
The free silver sentiment has gained such
ahold In Delaware, In the ranks Of the
Democratic party, that even that sound
money Democrat Senator Gray has re-
pudiatsd his hard money doctrines and
Joined hands with the silver element of
his party. The pressure that has been
brought to bear on the Senator If he wants
to succeed himself in the U. S. Senate has
been too much for him and he has grace
fully succumbed to the inevitable. My,
how have the mighty fallen. Its one
thing to have Views of your own which
are honest, and another to have views
which the majority of the party you rep.
resent are at variance with. 1t begins to
look as II Senator Kenney and Congress-
man Handy were bigger men in the party
than Senator Gray, in Delaware at least.
The Silver element expect to capture more
than half the delegates from the city and
county in the delegate convention, which
meets in Turn Hall to day. The Mission.
