ing.
THE supporters OF Attorney General
Elkln. who have behind them the present
administration, are sanguine of victory,
although they claim victory by only q
small majority. The friends of Judge
Pennypacker of Philadelphia, are in the
fight TO win. and if the nomination does
not go to Judge Pennypacker, it certain
ly will not go to Mr.. Elkin as his elec-
ton would mean the defeat of the Re
publican ticket in the Keystone State
this fall.
The supporters OF Senator Quay are
confident that he will be the dominating
power in the State convention. and in
the event Of Judge Pennypacker not Sc
curing the nomination some dark
horse, who will carry the party to vic
tory this fall. and insure the return to
the United States Senate of Hon. Boies
Penrose, will secure the nomination.
up to the primaries which were held
on Saturday last in the western part OF
the State, it locked as though Judge
Pennypacker would be able to stampede
the convention. and be elected by ac-
clamaticn. The Elkin followers now
claim they have the sufficient number of
delegates to secure his nomination on
the first ballot. But You can rest as

volume most dear to my heart.
Whose treasures had long been neglected
came to myself with a start.
/ For there on the margin before me
saw through the fast yelling tears
The crosses you'd placed at some passage
You'd loved in the faraway years.
The crosses you'd placed by some ex-
cerpt
That echoed sweet thoughts of your
own;
Some dear. loving thought of the au-
thor's
You marked. sweet. for my eyes alone.
And it seemed as sought through the
volume
And eagerly scanned every line
You'd marked, that your long silent lips,
dear,
Once more answered pleadings OF mine.
And I dreamed, as the calm twilight
gathered,
You sat by my side once again,
And with your dear pink-petal fingers
From my brow smoothed the burrows
of pain.
and only when twilight had faded
woke to the weights Of my loss,
And. closing the book Of your crosses,
took up again my sad cross.
