Especial Correspondence
Harrisburg, May 30-Colonel James
Madison Guffey, the accredited head OF
the Democratic party in Pennsylvania,
gave a terrible shock last week to his
political allies, the Flinn-Martin Re-
publican insurgents. Guffey engineered
the deals between the Democratic
members of the legislature and the in
surgents in the recent house OF raps
resentatives by which they blocked the
various projects advocated by the Re-
publican governor to raise revenue to
meet the current obligations Of the
state, 1t was due to the success Of
these alliances between the Democrats
and the insurgents that Governor
Stone found that the appropriations OF
the recent legislature far exceeded
the amount of money available for the
same, and that he was, therefore, oblig-
ed TO veto bills right and left and
to cut the general school appropriation
100000 annually for the next two
years. The men who were responsible
for this condition of affairs have been
the most blatant in condemning the
governor for his action, necessitated by
their high handed course in the legis

of the insurgent leaders, recognizing
that they will cut no figure at the
coming Republican state convention,

who have been read out of their party
organization, while on the other hand
are the rampant silvertites and cham
pions of Bryan. Guffey concluded to

great Bryan demonstration at St. Louis
few days ago. The Republican in
surgents have been greatly distressed
ever since. They did not want Guffey
to join with this radical wing of his
party, as they know he has thus made
1t difficult for them to cooperate with
him and have any following among
self respecting Republicans. They de-
clare that his action has practically
tied their hands, and that it will pre-
vent them from giving announcement
to a movement to help Guffey's candi.
