which the man with the barbed wire beard

The landlady spoke his name with in

would pay his board after supper.

primaries OF Saturday last, when , <o(o
of confidence was given these members
of the legislature in the election OF a
solid delegation of stalwarts to the
Republican state convention.
In every instance throughout the
county where prominent opponents OF
Senator Quay ran as delegates they
were defeated by large majorities.
This was especially true in Chambers
burg. In the Third ward Deputy
Treasurer A. S. Slower. who has always
been an ardent anti-Quay man and has
never been defeated as a candidate for
delegate. was numerically slaughter
ed.
So It is in every district where
contest was made The delegates TO
the state convention are Or. r. w.
Ramsey, of Chambersburg; ]. =. Rau-
huser. of Green Castle, and Burgess j.
c. Crisswell. of Waynesboro. All are
strong friends of Senator Quay and
will heartily indorse anything the pres
ept administration may request. The
county convention will adopt resolu-
tions strongly indorsing President Nc
Kinley and the Republican county
committee will be absolutely In control
of the regulars.
HUFF is SURPRISED.
Out in Westmoreland county, the
home of ex-Congressman Huff, who
was voted for by the insurgents for
United States senator, the insurgents
expected to win everything easily To
their great surprise the friends OF
Senator Quay captured three and pos
sibly four of the five delegates to the
convention. The Quay men, under the
leadership of Senator Brown and State
Treasurer Beacon, nominated John Is.
Steele, a life long Quay man, for judge
and practically named the entire
county ticket. This was crushing
blow to the supporters of HUFF, who is
very wealthy and ambitious to control
the party organization of his county.
The delegates to the state convention
from Potter and Greene counties are
also friends of the regular party or
ganization.
INSURGENTS SMALL SHOWING.
The insurgents find their only source
of comfort in the returns of Saturday
last from Allegheny county, where the
friends of Colonel Quay concluded to
make no fight against the Flinn-Magee
machine of Pittsburg AS the result,
the seventeen delegates to the state
convention from the districts which
their organization usually controls
were selected by Finn aud Magee. The
five other delegates from Allegheny
are supporters OF Colonel Quay.
The insurgents were successful in
naming the two delegates from Bed
ford county earlier in the week. A
harmony plan had been agreed upon
by which the regulars and insurgents
were each 10 name one OF the dele
gates. Two Of the insurgents broke
faith in the convention and delivered
the vote for the choice of the stall
warts, so that two friends Of the bolt
ers were elected to the state con-
ventiol.
These delegates, with the one vote
in Wayne, make up the entire show
ing of the insurgents.
The regulars will certainly havethree-
fourths of the delegates to the state
convention.

Under the rules of the Republican
party their state convention cannot be
held this year earlier than the last
week in August, although delegates to
the convention are now being elected
throughout the state. Seldom do the
Democrats find themselves in the posi-
ton that nomination for state Of

equivalent to an election, as is the case
this year. They are now involved In

The Philadelphia Democrats propose
to make a strong fight against the
nomination of either Representative
Creary, of Columbia, or Dixon, of Elk,
for state treasurer. They declare that
these men subordinated the Demo-
cratic party in the legislature to the
Finn Martin insurgent machine, and
they are especially bitter against them
for helping David Martin knock out the
new court bill, by which the Democrats
In Philadelphia would have gotten a
new judge.
HENDERSON FOR SPEAKER.
Pennsylvania Republicans are de-
lighted to know that General David
Bremner Henderson, of Iowa, will sue
ceed Thomas Bracket Reed as speaker
Of the house of representatives. Gen.
sral Henderson is close personal
friend of Colonel Quay, Senator PEN
rose and General Bingham. He has
rooms at the same hotel with Senator
Penrose. Should General Bingham see
fit to remain in the field as candidate
the Pennsylvania delegation will prob
ably give him complimentary vote
and afterwards the bulk of them will
60 to Henderson. If General Bingham
withdraws before the caucus of the
Keystone delegation during state con
vention week it is likely that the eau
Gus will decide to support Henderson.
Whenever Pennsylvania has wanted
anything in congress Henderson has
stood shoulder to shoulder with the
Keystone representatives in lighting
for it. During the last congress, when
the Pennsylvanians were struggling
against odds to secure as appropriation
of $780, 900 for the international ex-
position at Philadelphia General Hen
derson jumped in with will and urged
his colleagues from the west to vote
for the appropriation. When the time
came for a vote Henderson sprang 10
his feet, or rather foot, for he lost a
leg in the civil war, and waving his
zane aloft, shouted "All up, boys"
His enthusiasm infected the other Re-
publican members and the result was
that by rising vote the appropria-
tion was passed.
The election of General Henderson
to the speakership will give Pennsylva-
mia a chance to retain the office of
clerk of the house, and Major Alex
ander Mcdowell, of Mercer county,
will doubtless be reelected to that po-
sition.

Among the most valuable CORE

oriental countries are American mis-
sionaries. Two of these, from whom;
considerable valuable information has
been received, have suggested as a
means Of introducing and popularizing
American products a floating cxposi-

full and complete collection Of Amer
lean goods. After spending some time
at Indian ports the vessel could visit
various Chinese ports, and give the
Chinese an opportunity to see what the
United States has to sell.

sweets the flowers contained, and 1t
soon flew down from its abode on one

as if realizing that it had found home
