Especial Correspondence)
Philadelphia, April president Nc
Kinley has given another evidence o.
his purpose to stand by Senators Quay
and Penrose, the leaders of the regular
Republican organization of this state
Despite the opposition of the insur-
gent newspapers Of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, the president has filled the
position of United States judge for the
middle district Of Pennsylvania by the
appointment of Judge Archibald, OF
Lackawanna. He has transferred Fred
erick c. Leonard from the position OF
United States marshal for the western
district TO that of marshal for the mid
die district. He has appointed Frank
M. Fuller, of Fayette county, to sue
ceed Mr.. Leonard as marshal Of the
western district, and the appointment
of former Senator S. J. NJ. McCarrell
of Dauphin county, to be United States
attorney for the new district completed
the distribution of these desirable
berths, and every man who was named
is stalwart Republican ana had the
unqualified endorsement of Senators
Quay and Penrose.
ANOTHER INSURGENT FIZZLE.
A newspaper crusade was inaugural
ed against the appointment of Judge
Archibald by those who were disap-
pointed because the Lackawanna court,
of which he was a member, gave a
unanimous decision sustaining the
constitutionality of the so-called Pitts
burg ripper" bill. Judge Archibald
and his two colleagues, one Of whom
was Democrat, ruled that the bill
was constitutional, and this greatly
displeased the insurgents. They at
once opened their batteries upon the
judge and had petitions forwarded to
President Mckinley with a view to
blocking his appointment
The president has, however, gotten
used to these insurgent tactics, and he
pays no more heed to them. 1t is sig
nificant that since President McKin-
ley was first elected he has not made
an important appointment in this state
against the wishes of the leaders of
the regular Republican organization.
The president is a great believer in
party organization and in sustaining
the men who represent it by the voice
of the people.
He believes that the members of
congress are chosen by the people to
speak for them and that if these repre-
sentatives make mistakes in recon-
mendations for office they should bear
the burden.
While he always insists that men Of
character and ability shall be recon-
mended to him. he does not recognize
the right of a disgruntled faction Of
the Republican party to dictate to him
as to what should be done for the ma
iority of his party.
GOVERNOR STONE HoNoRED.
Governor Stone was the recipient Of
a magnificent testimonial dinner in this
city last week from the Fellowship
club, one of the leading dining organ
izations in the country. The dinner
was purely a social function. but il
brought together some of the most
representative and leading citizens Of
the commonwealth, who were pleased
to hear sung the praises of the chief
executive Of the commonwealth. Gov
ernor Stone made felicitous speech,
in which he said that as governor of the
state he sought to labor in the interests
OF all the people, that he had endeayor-
ed TO enforce economy in the manage
mnnf arFV e. - IL
state government, and that he would
continue to follow that policy as long
as he shall remain in the position he
now holds. Governor Stone was vigor-
ously applauded, and after his speech
was congratulated by number of rep
resentative business men of the Quaker
City who were among the members
and guests Of the club.
Governor Stone is very popular in
this city. He is recognized as a pub
lie officer who has the courage to do
what he thinks to be right, even though
before his action he may be satisfied
that Tor the time being he shall be
criticized for what he is about to do.
The governor is known to have sent
for certain members Of the legislature
now sitting at Harrisburg and blunt
ly told them they might as well dis
continue their efforts in passing bills
for expenditures which he believes
would be either useless or extravagant.
He has served notice that he will veto
such measures, and in a number Of
cases he has succeeded in blocking the
plans OF those who would loot the
state treasury IL they got a chance.
Governor Stone has always been popu-
lar with the farmers of the state, and
he has added to his list of supporters
among that element by his steadfast
support Of the policy of developing the
forests OF pennsylvania and his advo-
cacy Of legislation to protect the dairy
interests OF the commonwealth against
untiar and unjust competition from
oleo.
Before leaving for home on his re-
cent visit to this city Governor Stone
remarked that he had never been en-
tertained more generously than by the
members Of the Fellowship club and
those who were invited to their board.
THE GREAT QUAY DINNER.
All Of the plans have been agreed
upon for the great reception and dinner
which viii be given in honor Of United
States Senator NJ. S. Quay in this city,
under the auspices of the State League
of Republican Clubs.
This demonstration will be strictly
non-tacticnal. as II had been deter
mined rrCn long before the senatorial
struggle was ended that the League
should in some manner honor the sue
eessful candidate for the senatorship.
~ has been decided that the most
hitting way to do this viii be to have a
dinner for about 400 covers, to which /
leading Republicans in the state will I
be invited to subscribe, and after that !
there will be more public function in /
the form of reception in the Academy 4
Of Music, to which possibly ten thou
sand persons will be invited. Col. 4
