Before the state committee adjourn
ed Major Isaac 3. Brown, Of Erie, made
stirring speech, in which he urged
that an aggressive campaign be waged
from now ON until election day in fa-
vor of Mckinley and Roosevelt and the
whole Republican ticket. He advocat-
ed a campaign upon national issues,
which would appeal to the public spirit
and the patriotism of the people of
Pennsylvania and would arouse en-
8husiasm for the party nominees.
PENROSE SCORES THE BOXERS.
When Major Brown had concluded
Chairman Reeder inquired of Senator
Penrose if he cared to say anything.
The young Philadelphia leader then
commanded the attention of the meet
ing He left no room to doubt that
he was in hearty sympathy with the
action just taken in the adoption of the
resolutions regarding the fusionists.
Senator Penrose said it was incum
bent upon the state committee to labor
zealously for the success of the entire
Republican ticket He expressed the
belief that the majorities for Mckinley
and Roosevelt in Pennsylvania will be
larger than those given them by any
Nth etc tn in hp Ty1in
they would even exceed the Pennsylva-
MIA majorities Of the last national cam
paign.
There was a vital matter which the
party leaders should give due attention
to, he then added, and that was the
election of members of congress. He
said it was almost as essential to the
industries of Pennsylvania to elect a
Republican congress as it is to elect
a Republican president. Every dis
trict that can possibly be carried
should be thoroughly canvassed and
determined campaign made for the Re-
publican congressional nominee. 1t
should not be forgotten that in the
last congress there was but a narrow
Republican majority of but IL or IL,
and that there are a number of dis
tricts in this state which could read
lily be lost without careful and per-
sistent work for the entire Republican
ticket. He declared that it was of
paramount Importance that the Re-
publican candidates in the senatorial
and state representative districts
should receive the earnest support of
the Republican voters of the state, so
that there shall be a good Republican
majority in the legislature. The Uni
ted States senator TO be elected in jan
uary next should not be o mongrel
fusionist or Bryanite Democrat. but he
should be a stalwart Republican, repre-
sentative of the stalwart Republican
ism of Pennsylvania.
Before the state committee adjourn
ed William Henry Sayen, of Delaware
county. was nominated TO succeed w
G. Arnold as elector at large, who had
declined the nomination from the state
convention. and Dr. John Ely was
chosen district elector. in place Of the
late Floyd Kinner, of Bradford county.
