Philadelphia. March 1S.-As the Re-
publican candidates for the next legis-
laturs are being placed In nomination
throughout the state the sentiment Of
the Republican voters In favor Of the
reelection Of Hon. Boles Penrose to
the United States senate is being ex-
pressed through the delegates elected
to the nominating conventions.
The latest county to thus 60 on rec
ord II Delaware. The county conven-
ton was held at Media last week and
without q dissenting voice resolutions
were adopted commeE..ng the public
services Of Senator Penrose and his
close attention to the needs Of his con-
stituents, and cordially indorsing him
for reelection. There were three can
didates for the assembly nominated In
Delaware county and all Of them are
reasonably sure Of election and they
are all for Senator Penrose.
The county convention adopted the
following:
Resolved, That in view Of the fact
that the term Of the Hon. Boies Pen.
rose next expires. we indorse his can
didacy for reelection, recognizing the
fact that for two years his labors were
exceptionally &rduous. and in no In
stance has he been found wanting In
attending to the needs Of his constit.
uency, and when the Dingley tariff
measure was pending he was foremost
in seeing that the local interests Of
this county we're properly safeguard.

Former State Chairman Thomas v.
Cooper, who was nominated to sue
ceed himself In the house Of represen-
tatives, has made statement for pub
lication in which he declares his pur-
pose to support Senator Penrose to sue
ceed himself and says that he will 60
into every Republican caucus called for
the organization OF the legislature and
for other party purposes, and that he
will abide by the action OF the majority
in such caucuses.
SOLID LANCASTER DELEGATION.
Senator Stober and Representatives
Frank B. McClain, w. H. Brosius, John
G. Homsher and d. w. Graybill have
Just been renominated and DR.. X. H. K.
Blough and w. x. Snader, new aspir-
ants, complete the legislative ticket In
Lancaster county. They were all NOM
mated on Saturday last and are all
certain to be elected. and they are all
for Senator Penrose.
It is not improbable that there will
be no Republican candidate in the field
against Senator Penrose when the leg
islature meets In January next to elect
his successor.
The junior senator is apparently not
giving much attention to canvass for
reelection. He is kept very busy at
Washington from Monday morning un-
til Saturday of each week, and then he
runs over to Philadelphia and his
Office is crowded with callers all Satur-
day afternoon, each with some petition
or request requiring his attention at
one Of the departments at Washington

LABOR LEADERS PLEASED.
As chairman Of the committee on i'm
migration Senator Penrose has Just re-
ported to the senate the Chinese exclu-
sion bill, which is evidently satisfac-
tory to the labor interests that sought
Senator Penrose's aid in their efforts
to block the scheme of the steamship
agents and other corporation represen-
tatives that hoped to have the bars let
down SO that Chinese cheap labor
might be permitted to enter this coun-
try without interference from the fed
eral authorities. Senator Penrose has
received number of letters from rep
resentatives Of labor organizations
thanking him for the interest he has
taken In this matter.

During the last week Senator Pen.
rose had conference at Washington
with representatives of farming and
dairy interests In Pennsylvania. who

lation desired by the Pennsylvania
dairymen and farmers and said they

and enthusiastic support for the meas
