Republican Central Committee.

ThelRepublican County Central Com
mitttee met at the court house last
Tuesday with members present from
every precinct in the county. The
business of the meeting consisted
chiefly in reporting careful polls taken
of the various precincts and the re-
ports are certainly mighty pleasing
and encouraging. Not single Sec
tion shows loss from the Republican
ranks while nearly all of them indicate
a certain gain of from anywhere from
twenty to a hundred. The men who
took this poll are the same ones who
took the poll four years ago and the
poll at that time indicated very plainly
just exactly what the returns showed.
If this years poll is as accurate, and
all doubtful voters were left out of the
count, the Republican majority in
Allen county on November 6 will show
handsome gains running up in the
hundreds above 1896.

Making Good Progress.

The cause Of decent politics in Penn
sylvania is making encouraging pro
gress. In the primary elections Of last
Saturday the Quay machine suffered a
loss Of three IN the nomination Of can
didates for the Legislature out Of eleven
nominated.
These early primary elections were
brought on in counties where the ma
chine had every confidence in its sue
cess. Snap Judgment was taken on the
Republican people in many instances,
the machine hurrying on the election
before organization could be effected,
the purpose being not alone to secure
the nomination, but 10 make use OF the
result in sure Quay counties to claim
that the machine is sweeping every
thing This prograne Is not working
out with all the red fire that was intend
ed for it,
In some Of these counties where the
machine has always had its way 1T has
now suffered defeat and others have
been saved by voting Democrats, non
residents and unnaturaliZed persons.
i MS WIS lnt Ldtl III Law ltia'b tOAiIiNJ
where more than enough of fraudulent
vote was polled TO nominate a Quay
candidate by a majority Of ninety,
where it had been customary 10 give
Quay majorities reaching over 1000.
Not only was the fraud committed, but
it was confessed by the refusal Of the
Quay committee to permit an investlga-
ton In Union county, heretofore
strongly Quay the machine candidate
secured bare majority Of seventy-one
by fraud and it was also confessed by
the machine refusal 10 permit the
charges to be inquired into.
For the rest Of it, four anti-Quay can
didates have been nominated in districts
represented in the last Legislature by
Qnayites, while two Quayites in Mercer
county viii take the place Of two anti
machine members In the nominations
so far made the net gain for the Quay
opposition is two members. This IS a
rate Of progress that can be regarded
with entire satisfaction by the friends
Of decent politics and honest elections,
and more particularly because the gains
have been made in heretofore strong
Quay counties
The situation is more than satisfac-
tory it is gratifying. 1t is a beginning
which clearly indicates the impossibility
that Mr. Quay can be elected to the
United States Senate by the next Leg
