Is dead in Philadelphia; It Is dead in
Delaware county. and il is practically
dead In Chester county. As matter
OF fact the insurgents who bolted tnf
Republican caucus at Harrisburg are
everywhere Looked upon with disfavor
rhe one thing left for the insurgents
to do is TO join the Democrats IN
fusion tickets. They have been beaten

il is only in harmony with their past
actions to support the Democratic can

exactly what the insurgents intend to
do everywhere. They viii contest the
primaries in the different counties.
When they are beaten out and out. as
they will be. they win join The Demo

CHESTER AND SNYDER
That Chester county is still very
much in the staIwart column was
amply demonstrated at the meeting OF
the Republican county convention last
week. There was not a single dissent
ing voice to the resolutions offered en-
dorsing the policy of President McKin-
ley and Governor Stone making the
following declaration as to Colonel NJ.
S. Quay:
I'VE reafirm our allegiance to the
matchless Republican leadership of
Hon. Matthey Stanley Quay and depre-
cate the fact that the United States
senate has not yet taken favorable ae-
tion on the certificate of Hon Matthew
Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania, and
given 10 MIN the seat and TO the people
of Pennsylvania -tEe. representation TO
which they are entitled and guaTan-
teed in the senate of the United States
by the constitution"
This declaration from the Republi-
can convention of Chester county must
have been a hard blow to Finn and
his colleagues.
1t was a notable feature OF the Ches-
ter county convention that the former
bolters we're absent In fact. they were
not represented from a single precinct
in the county.
The Republicans have announced
their choice for senator and members
of the legislature by publishing the list
far in advance of the primaries, which
will not be held until June.
At this time the Chester county
bolters from the party are doing moth
ing whatever. They say they are
awaiting developments and will get
into the fight after a time when they
get matters properly shaped The
Democrats, however, seem to have got
ten enough Of fusion at the last cleo
tion. and il seems almost Impossible
for Chairman Cavanaugh TO get them
into line fo- another such farce. With
out them the bolters viii of course
have no show. The pledge which all
Republican candidates are now re-
quired TO sign by the chairman of the
county committee viii prevent any de-
feated candidate upon the regular
ticket. shc nd he become disgruntled.
from forming an alliance with the bolt
ers in any movement they should
make.
Snyder eounty's Republican primar-
les were held last Saturday. They
passed of quietly. The only contests
in the different districts were for the
local committeeman. The following
candidates were nominated without op-
position: For congress, Thad NJ Ma
| hon: assembly, A. NJ. Smith; senator.
| B. K Focht; prothonotary, G. NJ. Shin
del; register and recorder. J. H. Will
Its. d.. p Herman defeated G. W
Wagonseller for national delegate.
This action of the Snyder county
Republicans insures the nomination OF
T;eniamin K Focht, editor of the Lew
isburg Saturday News, a stalwart Re-
publican of Union county, for state
senator
