Harrisburg. July l7.-Tbe machine
bosses on Capitol Hiil received a shock
cn Saturday last when they read in a
telegram from Canton. o.. the an
pouzeecasrt OF Senator HaBna's selec-
tiou Of members OF The national COM
uittse who will assist him as o cam
passn committee TO run the Mckinley
and Roosevelt campaign this year. EX-
SaaatoT Quay's name was not on The
list. Hanna sud the ahmilistTation
had. thrown QnaS down. II was the
rofst blow that the machine and Quay
himself bad received since the latter's
ratecAion by the Calted Statos, senate
But the bosses had no reason To expect
that Mr. Quay would b given q place
as eoufi&eatial adviser in the national
eomrnittea They knew full well that
Senator Hanna had IL. s. QuRy sized up
completely, end In baseball language
vac onto bis eurves- The machine
bosses here and IN Philedelphis started
out right after the national convention
in Philadelphia had adjourned with
the story that Quay had asked Hanna

committee this year>that be vented

ONLY A BLUFF.
TINS was only bluff. II was In
| tended TO break the force Of the blow
| when the announcement came that
Hanna would not hSve Quay en- the
campaign committee. II fooled no.
| BODY, hecSGae all the time the bosses
! and sok5o vss.s Of the machine were ciF-
euiating this story they were denonEc-
| lag HannS and PreeIdent Mckinley With
| sll tSs heat sAd vitupeyatiou they
could muster,
Anafhar interesting feature OF tho
| dropofne of Quay Ia the unmistakable
eyiacace that Hanna and every other
| dissatisfaction man sized up the ova~
tlon thai MIR Quay got In the national
| convention. Everybody on the inside
knew that the oheers and shouts were
| manufactured; that the convention had
been paeaeS With Quay shouters, en-
| pioyeA, pc3tcsnen, doorkaepers and
hundreds OF people from the outside,
| who were admitted without the formal
| fly Of presenting tickets. At fret II
| looked like a spontaneous tribute.
| When 50 Was examined X proved to be
q hollow mockery. Senator Hanna,
secre&sry Dick and every administra-
I ton SaSn turnbied to the racket In five
minutes Then they got angry to
think OF this Cheap John" method Of
| tFying to fool them and the delegates
from over the United States. Then
Mr.. Quay was paid back in bis own
coin for bis actions towards Mckinley
dupi1s the past four years.

Tho Snti-Quay torcee in the stats
are s4ing right ahead winning bat
ties. Pho Quay machine 10 now left to
| the dfeary work OF claiming every
ttias In sight. but Ii will not do. On
Saturday Last the anu-Quay forces
swept Lebanon county, nominating
senator and two members OF the legis-
| latura. Or. Samuel Weiss. the anti
| Quay leader of Lebanon county, was
chosen senator to succeed himself by
good majority.
The moat desperate eRorts were
| made by tho machine following to car
rs Lebanon county. Largo sums OF
uaossy were put into the campaign.
and promises Of patronage were freely
made, bot the people OF Lebanon have
grown tired OF the. machine and its
nsthoda Tho little eoterie of Office
holders that has bossed that county
| has, by the election OF Saturday. been
discredited and the Independence Of
tho vetere has been fully established.
| Another fight for local control on
Saturday last was h York county.
| This county Is hopeleesly Democratic.
but yA Republican politics have been
controlled by email squad OF ring
| eters who did whatever the bosses here
| IN Harrisburg wanted On Saturday
| last this outfit was put to fight, and
| the county organization wss captured
| by the anti-Quay forces under the load
erehip OF Fish Commissioner James A.
Dale. The county committee from this
/ CIT paTl be distinctly anti-Quay. with
| an uncompromising anti-nachine man.

The activity Of the Pure Butter
League In Philadelphia has at last
| frightened the dairy and pure food de-
paxtment into commencing some suits
| against oleomargaFine dealers. The
| reluctance Of the officials IN the agri-
cultural department here to push cases
againet Tao sellers Of bogus butter has
been notorious, and the exposures and
] dissrsne OF officials have apparently
| untM recently, had very little TO do
| With eSs.ting those same officials TO ao-
l dyIey. Indeed, the agricultural depart
| mont, hy it's worthless officials and It's

moro 10 harm the farmers OF the state
than enY caNse In quarter of ceo-
tury.

But the department has been fright

Philadelphia composed OF pure but1Ar
dealers and manufacturers has been

the agricultural department evidently

hundreds Of mon who are engaged In

OF course this forced activity will be

farmers and deirymen by sho~ing bow

The farmers want to look out for this.
If they would protect their own inter-
