membership in the republican party
continues to rise and grow stronger
every day. The Flinn-Martin COM
bine of the machine leaders of Pitts
burg and Philadelphia, who have de-
luded a few men from interior coun-
ties to Join them in their crusade OF
revenge against Colonel Quay, have
received another double setback.
The previous week they were re-
buked and condemned by the Repub-
licans of Mercer and Bradford coun-
ties at the Republican primaries, at
which delegates were elected to the
Republican state convention. In each
of these counties there were two men,
bers of the legislature who were elect
ed as Republicans, but who bolted the
caucus on the United States senator
ship and Joined the insurgents. Their
constituents sent to the convention a
solid delegation in each county that
will vote to sustain the action of the
regulars in supporting the Republican
caucus nominee for senator, Colonel
Quay, and maintaining the integrity
of the regular Republican organiza-
tion.
TWO MORE COUNTIES.
Now Snyder and Armstrong coun'
ties have fallen into line. By most
emphatic and decisive majorities at the
Republican primaries held on sSatur-
day last they repudiated the insur-
gents and stood loyalty by the regu'
lar Republican organization of the
state Tea personality of Colonel
Quay has ceased to figure prominently
in this contest. 1t is generally re
garded as an issue between the men
who wish to see the integrity of the
Republican organization preserved ana
those who, actuated by personal hos
. tility to Colonel Quay and desire
to extend their political power, are
eager to elect a majority of delegates
to the next state convention, who will
follow their directions in carrying out
their scheme to control the organiza-
tion of the Republican party of Penn
sylvania. 1t has already been demon
strated that the insurgents will be in
very small minority in the state
convention. Two counties held their
primary elections on Saturday last.
They both sent delegates to the
state convention who will sup
port the policy of the present Repub-
lican state organization and will sus-
tain the members of the legislature
who voted for the Republican caucus
nominee for United States senator,
Colonel NJ S. Quay Snyder county
elected as a delegate to the state con-
vention c. M. Arbogast, a staunch
Republican, who will voice the senti-
ments of his constituents by cooper
ating with Governor Stone and the
other leaders of the Republican state
organization in any program that may
be determined upon for the state con-
vention. He was elected by the men
who in the Snyder county Republican
committee voteu unanimously to com
mend the action of Senator Hummel
and Representative Smith, who voted
to the end of the session of the leg
islature for Colonel Quays election to
the United States senate.
ARE STILL STALWART.
The Republicans of Armstrong coun-
ty also held their primary election on
Saturday last. They elected a full
ticket, composed of friends Of Colonel
Quay. AS delegates to the Republican
state convention they elected Messrs.
Sturgeon and Hill, both pronounced
friends of Senator Quay. The entire
ticket for county Offices in each of
these counties is composed of support
ers of the regular organization.
1t is significant that in the memora-
BILE contest for United States senator
in 1892 Colonel Quay determined to
meet his opponents in an open contest
for the nomination of members of the
legislature by a popular vote at the
Republican primaries. His success
full campaign in this instance was
opened in these two counties, Snyder
and Armstrong. John Dalzell was theI
pitted against him. In each case, or
a fair test at the polls, Colonel Quay
was winner by an overwhelming
vote. He appealed directly to the peo
pie. There was a clean cut contest
and the result was a positive victory
for the Beaver statesman. He seem!
to have retained the confidence ant
respect of the Republicans of these
counties.
