ELKIN SEES VICTORY.
Former State Chairman John P. Ell
kin is quite confident of great Repub-
lican majorities in Pennsylvania this
fall.
THE present state campaign" said
Mr.. Elkin, is entirely different from
that of last year, in that there Is no
evidence Of factional opposition to the
candidates on the Republican ticket.
There is a splendid feeling prevailing
among the Republicans throughout the
state. They recognize the fact that
the candidates on their ticket are men
of exceptional ability, and are popular
and deserving of their support. There
is spirit of patriotism abroad and of
loyalty to the Republican party which
means so much for the welfare Of the
state and the nation. Not word can
be said against ths character, fnteg-
rity capacity or patriotism of any man
on the ticket. No one familiar with
the situation will say that there is any
doubt about the election of any one
of them. The aim Of the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, therefore, will be to
make their majorities az large as pos
sible. The national campaign Of 1900
Is already under way. The fag of
Bvanism still floats over the camp of
the Democracy, while Republicans ev-
erywhere are rallying under the ban
ner of Mckinley. BUSINESS msa are
taking keen interest In the cam
paign. They are not anxious to In any
way help the Bryanties by the vote
of this fall so that tho siiverites shall
be encouraged to enter the contest
of next year with the idea that they
have a chance of capturing the prest-
dency. Contrasted with the demoral-
lied and depressed condition Of the
commercial and manufacturing inter
ests of the country In 1896, brought
about under the last Democratic ad-
ministration, the situation today, with
business booming on every hand, with
our mills all running and in many
places working overtime, our iron and
steel industries crowded with orders
that In many cases are suMcient to
keep them busy for two years to come,
with wages being advanced and likely
to go higher, is not calculated to pre-
sent inspiring arguments for Republi-
cans to vote against their party nomi-
nees. The Republican party in Penn
sylvania, as it does in every other
state in the Union, stands for the Nc
Kinley administration and the up
holding of the president in his conduct
of the war and his foreign policy.
with the brave Lieutenant Colonel
Barnett, of the Fighting" Tenth Penn
sylvania volunteers, who fought with
Dewey in the Philippines. as one of
their standard bearers. and with j.
Hay Brown and Josiah r. Adams, law
yers of recognized ability and standing
in their profession, as the candidates
for the supreme bench and the superior
court, respectively, the Republicans OF
Pennsylvania can go to the polls in
November next with patriotic duty
to perform, and they will roll up i'm
mense maiorities for these candidates
and when the election returns are
read Pennsylvania will take her place
at the head of the Republican column
of the nation, ready for the battles of
next year for the reelection of Presi-
dent Mckinley, the continuance of
business prosperity and the mainten
ance of honor and dignity of the Amer
ican nation -
