thereby make possible the election OF
more fusion tickets for the legislature
later on. The more regular Republt'

combination of the Wanamaker-Guney
interests could defeat the greater
would be their combined strength at
Harrisburg to carry out any deal on
the senatorshlp when the time arrived
for the selection of an eastern man
for the Penrose seat.
IT is UP TO WANAMAKER.
Practical politicians look to Wana-
maker to carry out the idea OF writing
a letter which will leave the impression
that he is not candidate for the sena-
tcrship. While with this plan OF cam
paisn the insurgent movement would
not be deprived of any of its financial
resources, they would apparently nave
unloaded Wanamakerism and tnus
help to strengthen their lines Wherever
Wanamakerism is unpopular TO the
extent OF weakening their cause at the
primaries and the general elections.
Wanamakerism would not suffer, as
the stronger the insurgent forces are
the greater will be their opportunities
OF helping him to his ultimate amDl-
ticn. an election to the United States
senate to succeed Boies Penrose.
1t is now up to Wanamaker,' and
his forthcoming letter will be read
with interest should he act upon the
suggestion of the Flinn-Martin lead
ership.
$4,000 FOR HANNA.
Philadelphia Republicans are more
than ever proud of Mayor Ashbridge
since he sent down to Washington a
few days ago a check for SIS, 900, being
the first payment by citizens OF Phila-
delphia to Chairman Hanna OF money
promised to the Republican national
committee when the committees from
this city went to get the Republican
national convention. Through the pre-
liminary arrangements falling into In
experienced hands there was for q
time grave doubts as to the success OF
the convention project, not because OF
any unwillingness Of the citizens TO
subscribe the funds, but because the
men who were at the head OF the move
ment did not know how to go about
enlisting the sympathies of the people.
Now things have changed, and every
day brings additional evidence OF the
fact that this is one of the most pa
triotic, public spirited and broad
gauged cities in the Union. There will
be no trouble in raising the 100000
which was guaranteed the Republican
national committee. This fund will be
ha nf the
Republican national convention and the
balance will go to meet the general ex-
penses of the national committee. Most
CT the surplus will be spent in the dis
tribution of literature in an education
al campaign preparatory to the nomi-
nation of President Mckinley.

HE HAD BEEN TO SEA.
But His Experience Didn't Fit Him
For Sailing n Yacht.

A government Official tells this story Of
Sam Allerton's experience with his
yacht:
MI Allerton built himself fine coun-
try house on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Wisconsin. 1t was as fine as anybOdy's
home in that locality. When he had the
house about finished, some one told him
that he would have to have yacht, not
one Of the modern steam yachts such as
you see down east, but a sailing boat.
He ordered one made and was up at the
lake when it reached there. He was
very proud of his yacht, and although he
had never been on one before concluded
that he would like to take a sail right
away. In his younger days he had gone
fishing a time or two in a canoe and in
that way had learned the rudiments of
steering boat, so he concluded to take
the helm. Looking over the group Of
loungers that had gathered about, he
shouted out the inquiry:
"Who among us has been to sea?"
81 has, sah," said tall, rawboned col
ored man, stepping forward.
you'll do for one" said Mr.. Allerton.
"NOw, who else has been to sea"
Nobody answering he turned to the
colored man and ordered him to jump
aboard, saying: I'VE two will be enough.
We can handle her."
The sails were set, the boat released
from its mOorings, and start was made.
The wind was directly offshore and
blowing brisk. Mr. Allerton enjoyed the
sensation hugely and congratulated him
self on the investment he had made. He
was sailing directly before the wind, and
he doomed ahead in splendid style. By
and by they approached the opposite
shore, and, after making several frantic
efforts to change the course of the boat,
Mr.. Alerton called out to the colOred
man who had been to sea-"
Here, you! How are we going to
turn this blamed thing around? / can't
| do anything with her."
"'Deed, mister, don't know what to
do. | don't know nothing bout them
there sails"
The two men pulled and hauled and
perspired, but to no effect, and the yacht
went on the rocks with a smash. As
Mr.. Allerton waded ashore he turned
angrily to the colored man, who dragged
himself drippingly after him, and said;
81 thought you told me you had beer

81 was, sah; eight years"

 The vote stood for the resolution-White, Wilson, Tankerley, Malone, McErath, Abercrombie, Haley, Banks, Abbes and Simpson; against the resolution-Merrill, Lowe, Lomax, Lavretta, Benton, Burns, Nesmith, Richardson, Tomlinson and Mill Ter.
 At a session of the delega ton this even- inf, Tennant Lomax was selected to sec ond Bryan's nomination.
 A motion was made by Robert J. Lowe that the delegation vote as a unit on all questions; over this there was a heated discussion, several members holding that every delegate had the right to vote as he thought best, and after much discussion final action was postponed until tomorrow morning. Like all the other delegations, the Alabama delegation seems to be di- vided on the language to be incorporated in the platform.

NO MAN CAN DICTATE TERMS

Kansas City, July 4.-"The convention impresses me as a much more conservative body than that of 1896. The spirit is dis tinctly in favor of trying to get the party together and to make mutual concessions to that end. The tremendous demonstration in favor of MT. Hill today leaves no doubt of this fact. He typifies the spirit of con- servatism in the view of the bulk of the delegates. The convention appears in no humor to submit to bosssm from any source.
 There would be a revolt if MT. Bryan himself attempted to dictate to the con- vention. I believe that the prospects for a harmonious outcome is very favorable. The sentiment in that direction is growing rap idly.
