win victories at the primary elections.
The Mexican county Republican con-
vention on Tuesday last resulted in
rousing victory for the friends of Colo
mel Quay. At the eleventh hour the
insurgents made fight against the
regulars, for county chairman, but the
regulars blocked the game and cap
tured the craftsmanship, after exciting
scenes.
The resolutions specifically commend
the action of Senator Merrick and Rep
resentatfves Dempsey and Richmond.
members Of the legislature from this
district, who are included in "the stall
wart ninety-six," who went into the
Republican caucus and voted until the
end of the session for Colonel QUAY
for United States senator.
These are the resolutions adopted by
the convention:

ture, Senator w. T. Merrick. r. A.
Dempsey and Thomas F. Richmond"

rison for the supreme bench.
CUMBERLAND IS SOLID.
The Cumberland county Republican
convention, held the same day, proved
to be walkover for the stalwarts.
Chairman Rupley made few remarks.
in which he said he believed the mi
nority of the convention would vote
with the party in November. The
party has been victorious in the past
and would be in the future. We have
a Republican governor and Republi-
can president. Back of Mckinley was
Matthew Stanley Quay. He received
the Republican caucus nomination and
the majority of the votes in the last
legislature for the United States sem
ate. and he was justly entitled to the
election, and the people of Pennsylva-
mia would say the same at the next
election.
The following nominations were
made for state delegates: w r.
Beaver of Shippensburg and r. p.
Thomas, Jr., of Mechanicsburg, repre-
senting the Quayites, and M. p. Smy-
ser of Lower Allen and Thomas X.

Smith and George F. Titlow were elect
ed delegates to the state convention
They are all stalwart Republicans.
ELKIN is DELIGHTED.
Chairman John P. Elkin, of the Re-
publican state committee, seems to be
delighted with the news that comes to
him from the several counties.
THE Republicans of Pennsylvania"
remarked the state chairman, "seem
to be thoroughly acquainted with the
political situation, and they propose to
sustain the party organization and the
men who have stood for the principles
of the party, rather than the selfish
interests of few men with political
ambitions. The Republican state con-
vention will give expression to the
will of the Republicans of Pennsyl-
vania without dictation or interfer-
ence from any one. The reports that
this man or that man has been slated
for this or that office are absolutely
without foundation of fact These stor-
les are on a par with the reports that
were sent out affecting the actions OF
members of the Legislature who de-
clined to be influenced or intimidated
by certain interests. There is free
for-all contest for the several nomina-
tions to be made by the Republican
state convention, and the nominees
of that body will be triumphantly
elected"
