FIGHT ON MACHINE
Fusion of Democrats and Anti
Quay Republicans.

Philadelphia, Sept. 24.-State and city
conventions of the Union party or
ganized in opposition to the regular Re
publican organization of Pennsylvania
were held in this city today. The aim
of the state convention which was held
at the Academy of Music, was to ac-
complish fusion with the Democratic
party against the Republican ticket re
GENTLY nominated at Harrisburg. rms
purpose was partly contaminated today
by the Union party naming Judge Har-
mon Yerkes, who heads the Democratic
ticket as the candidate for supreme
court judge. State Representative f.
A Coray jr., independent Republican,
who was an active leader of the anti
Quay forces in the last Legislature was
nominated for state treasure. Ii lS
stated by the leaders of the Union ana
the Democratic parties that WITHIN q
few weeks. Andrew ]. Palm, the DEM
ocratic nominee for state treasure. Will
retire from the ticket in favor of MT
Coray. thus making fusion complete
and clearing the way for a stralghtout
fight between the regular Republican
organizations and the elements that are
opposing it. The Union party city con-
ventiOn nominated the following ticket;
District Attorney. +. Rothermel,
jr
City Controller-Captain John M.
Walton.
Recorder of Deeds-John Virdin, all
present incumbents.
The regular Democratic organization
has named it's own city ticket, but IN
fuential men in the party have called a

which it is expected the Union party
city ticket will be endorsed

WHIsTLING BRITISH.
Heroic Efforts to Appear Cheerful
Under Difficulties.

New York. Sept. Accommodating up
on the South African situation the Tri-
bune's London correspondent says:
While there is no marked change IN
the situation in South Africa there Is
a return of confidence in Lord k1tch-
ener's methods of conducting the war.
There is no evidence either that 6he
war office is fiurried or that reinforce
Tnents will be despatched on a large
scale from England even if Natal be
invaded and the raiders succeed IN
making a dash toward Ladysmith, or
Colenso, General Kitehener's command
of the railways has already enabled
him to concentrate forces in Northern
Natal where they are required, and
General French is not in need of more
troops Army men are now charitable
enough to make excuses for Major
Cough, and assert that he was easily
duped by the Beers through his energy
in attempting to overtake a retreat1ng
commando. They attribute the loss OF
of mounted infantry to over-conhdence
of the officers when the Beers had not
made a good stand for a long time.
They are confident that the warning re-
ceived will suffice. and that the army
will again guard against the wary foe
These explanations from military Of
fcers may be inadequate, but the
cheerfu1nes prevailing at the war Office
is a sign that Botha's invasion of Ma
tai is considered a hopeless expedient,
as he cannot obtain recruits there
among loyal colonistS.
