Especial Correspondence
Harrisburg. Sept. 26.-Leading Re-
publicans of this section of the state
who have been to Philadelphia during
the last week in consultation with Gen.
eral Frank Reeder, the chairman OF
the Republican state committee, state
that the outlook for large Republican
majorities from early reports that have
come from the counties is most en-
couraging. They certainly are pleased
with the prospects in Dauphin and
nearby counties, and Congressman Olm-
stead Mead Detwiler. Lyman d. Gill
bert, eX-Mayor Patterson and other
prominent members of the party all
feel that this is going to be a great
year for Republicanism in the old
Keystone state. These men come in
contact with the more influential and
prominent Democrats of the state in
their business and professional re-
lations.
TURN DOWN OF SANDERS.
They declare that there is an in
tense feeling among sound money DEM
ocrats over the treatment they are re-
ceiving 1T the hands of the present
leadership of their party. The gold
Democrats are disguised at the exhi-
bition in Philadelphia a few days ago
when Dallas Sanders. who once held
the responsible place of chairman OF
the Democratic state committee in
Pennsylvania, under the conservative
leadership Of Samuel ]. Randall. was
turned down ANONYMOUSLY in his as
pirations to go as delegate to local
Democratic convention, because it was
charged that he did not vote for Bryan.
Sanders was attacked in the most
shameful fashion, they say, and notice
was served upon all gold Democrats
that they were not wanted in the party
organization. This incident has created
no end of adverse comment among
Democrats throughout the state. 1t is
declared that this, with other insults
that have been heaped upon the sound
money men, will make the Democratic
vote in Pennsylvania cut sorry fig
ure at the coming election.
There has been a great deal of talk
from State Chairman Killing about ra-
tional issues not being a factor in the
present campaign in Pennsylvania, but
every day seems to make more conspic-
uous the fact that Organism is here to
stay, and that no Democrat who does
not bend the knee to the silver knight
of Nebraska need hope for recognition
or standing in the Democratic organ
ization. Business men who have here
tofore been identified with the Demo-
cratic party are awakening to the fact
that the Democratic organization of
the counties and state is as much in
sympathy and accord with the move
ment for the denomination of Bryan
for the presidency as the most radical
and wild eyed of the rampant silver
ties of the mining district of the
Rockies. They are not unmindful of
the declaration Of the Harrisburg state
convention which once more heralded
William Jennings Bryan as "Our
Match.css Leader" and they know that
support of the Democratic state ticket
in Pennsylvania this fall means an
endcsement of the Bryante program
for the presidential election of next
year.
GUFFEY'S DOUBLE ROLE.
Colonel James II. Guffey, member of
the Democratic national committee
from Pennsylvania, has been confer
ring with his l.eutenants in Pittsbure
and Philadelphia He is fresh from
the meeting of the executive committee
of the Democratic national commit
tee, which was held last week at Chi
cago. Cololcl Guffey is cooperating
heartily with the BryGnites. who are
in absolute control of the Democratic
national organization, and was present
when the national committee adopted
its address TO the Democracy of the
country, in which it said:
"The national committee Of the
Democratic rarty in session at Chi
cago to consider The work of party
organization preparatory to the
campaign Of 1909, sends greeting
to the Democracy of the nation.
withtheass rance that the prospect
of Democratic success next year
grows brighter every day. and we
have every reason for confidence as
to the outcome.
"The great need now is party
unity and thorough organization.
The committee therefore appeals
to our party friends in all states,
and especially in the states where
elections are to be held this year,
to put aside all local differences
wherever they exist and support
the regular party tickets earnestly
and enthusiastically, keeping al
ways in view the great struggle Of
next year. and remembering that
in unity there is strength and in
division weakness"
With this appeal to Democrats [,
stand by their party in the hope O
success in next years presidential
election still upon his lips. Colone
Guffey returns to Pennsylvania to re
iteratc to Republicans, whose suppor
he seeks for the silverite candidates OF
his state ticket. that this is an of
year campaign in Pennsylvania Ma
tional politics has nothing to do witt
