| Reeder OF Eastoh, former Secretary ofthe Com
monwealth. and ex-senator Thomas V.
| Cooper Of Media. were commissioned at a
recent conference Of the leaders In Philadelphia
to draft resolutions embodying an endorse
mont OF the Presidents policy and recommend
Ing him TO the Republicans OF tho country for
another term. There will be strong para
Graph In the platform covering the war with
Spain. The platform will also yeaf1lrm the
principles enunciated In tho st, Louis declara-
ton.
Gov. stones administration CT State affairs
will be warmly praised. He has been frequent
ly and bitterly assailed by ono element OF the
party. but as tho convention will be absolutely
In the control OF Senator Quay and his friends
the wishes Of the stalwart wing will be observed.
This will mean a strong resolution COM
mendug Governor Stone for his appoint
ment OF Senator Quay 10 MI the vacancy IN the
United States stnate caused by the failure OF
tho Legislature to elect, and requesting the
Senate at Washington to honor his commission
In short. the convention will show In Its every
act that Senator Quay 10 the controlling force
In the Republican organization In Pennsylvania.
His leadership will be emphasized and moth
ing will be omitted that will In any way i'm
press those outside the State who may he look
ing on at this time to discover. II possible. any
evidence OF waning power.
Tomorrow the leaders will begin to gather
here for the purpose Of mapping out the con-
Il, ~, Inft a. ha
done. It has been decided after several con-
ferences that J. Hay Brown. Lancaster law
yer. shall be nominated for Judge OF the Su-
preme Court. He is the law partner Of former
Attorney General Hensel It Is believed that
his selection Ia due to ex-senator J. ID. Cam
eron. ac1uiesced In by State Senator 9. l..
Magee.
Congressman William Cornell OF Scranton Is
backing Judge Archibald OF Lackawanna. who
was originally the choice OF most Of the Quay
men, but the nomination Of Archibald is now
admitted to BIO improbable.
Several namos have been considered for the
place In the Superior Court. For q time It
was thought that Judge Dinner Beeber, OF
Philadelphia. would be allowed to retain the
seat given him by the appointment OF Gov
Hastings, bat the Durham people In Philadel-
phia induced Mayor Ashbridge to make de-
mand on the State organization for a man OF
his choice. and he has selected Josiah r.
Adams. OF Philadelphia. who will be nomi-
mated.
For State Treasurer. the name that will go
upon the ticket 10 that OF James r. Barnett Of
Washington. IAeutenant- Colonel Of the Tenth
Pennsylvania, now on the way homo from the
PHILIPPINES. He was opposed for time by
Congressman Acheson and others at his home
but there 10 no doubt now that he will be the
choice OF the convention. Col Willis ]. HulinEs
Gen. John A. Wiley, Gen. j. +. Scball and others
who had seen service In the Spanish American
War were considered but Barnett Is o friend
OF Attorney General Elkln and other State
leaders and easily landed. Had COL A. L.
Hawkins. Commander Of tho Tenth Pennsyl-
vania survived. he would have been the unani-
nous choice OF the convention for this place on
the ticket.
Gen. Frank Reeder will be chosen chairman
OF the State Committee at a meeting OF the
nominees and chairman OF the convention
Thursday evening. He will succeed Attorney
General Elkin. who does not care to remain at
the head OF the State organization. The State
Committee will meet Tuesday to mako up the
roll Of delegates. There arc no contests.
