| Chisolm for state senator and name the
two members of the legislature. II is
reported that one of the district lead
ers boasted of having received 500
and ticket to Philadelphia and return
| for his Intellectual efforts to carry his
township. A spirit of discord and dis
satisfaction among the leaders of the
anti-Quay faction over the methods or
| the campaign, however, was fruitful
source of their gradual disintegration.
! At the supreme moment many OF their
followers throughout the county, real
lzing their leaders aim of self aggran-
dizement, became disgusted with the
hollowness of the whole movement and
rallied to the support of the regular
party candidates. Not one of the In
surgent candidates carried his own
election district. Chisolm, the head OF
the insurgent organization in the coun-
ty, carried but one of the four wards
in Huntingdon. Oliver l.. Stewart,
who was pitted against Chisolm for the
senatorial nomination by the regulars,
was declared by the boilers to be
pronounced Quay adherent, and the
people so regarded him. He defeated
Chisolm with this issue squarely be-
fore the Republican voters by major
ity of 30 delegates out of 62 precincts.
For the assembly in Huntingdon
county the regulars supported Thomas
w. Montgomery and John c. Taylor
both stalwarts, and they won by big
majorities over former District Attor-
ney H. II. Waite and w. Scott Huyett,
the favorites of the insurgents. Hunt
ingdon county's choice for national
delegate is Carl NJ. Gage, and l. N.
Swope and G.. Chalmers Port, both reg
ulars, were successful In the canvass
for delegates to the Republican state
convention. The campaign OF the reg
ulars was directed by former Senator
w. Mex. Williamson, former Prothon-
otary Samuel A. Steel and Surveyor of
the Port Perry NJ. Lytle, who have a
superb organization and who undoubt-
edly represent the stalwart Republican
sentiment of the county.
FRANKLIN LINES UP.
Franklin and Huntingdon counties
comprise the senatorial district which
DR.. Chisolm at present represents. AS
Dr. Chisolm has failed to carry his
own county, he is, of course, out of the
race for denomination. He would have
been bitterly opposed by the Republic
cans of Franklin county, even II he
had carried Huntingdon, for local rea-
sons. The Republicans of Franklin
are not in sympathy with caucus bolt
ers, and they would have refused to
have recognized Chisolm as a regular
Republican. In Franklin, where the
Republicans held their primaries also
on Saturday last, there was a clean
sweep by the regular or stalwart ele-
ment. The fight centered on the nom
nation of two candidates for the as
sembly. During the recent session Of
the legislature both of Franklin's rep
resentatives in the house voted with
the regular organization, and 1t was
the evident desire of the Republican
voters of the county that the two men
who should be named to succeed them
must also be stalwarts. There was
sentiment in the county in favor of
the denomination of Representative w.
G. Kreps, who was a useful member
of the last house, but when he was sud-
denly stricken with illness and found
himself unable to give personal atten-
tion to his canvass he announced his
withdrawal, so that there would be no
question about the nomination OF two
regulars. The outcome was the sue
cess of A. Nevin Pomeroy, editor of
the Franklin Repository, and b. F.
Welty, of Washington township. They
are both former members of the house
and stand well in the state. Congress-
man Mahon carried the county for re-
nomination and Alexander Stewart,
brother of Judge John Stewart. had no
opposition for state senator.
There will he a contest between
Franklin and Huntingdon counties for
the state senatorship, but there can be
no mistaking the sentiment in favor of
the nomination of a man who will go
into the Republican caucus and abide
by the will of the majority.
ADAMS AND CUMBERLAND.
The primaries in Adams county on
Saturday last resulted in a complete
victory for the leaders of the regular
Republican organization who are
friends and supporters of Colonel Quay.
The 60 delegates of the county, with
few exceptions, are pronounced Quay
men, and no opposition of a serious
character was presented against J. L.
Hill, Jr., for national delegate and
Donald P. Mcpherson for delegate to
the Republican state convention. The
party organization in this county Is
