the estimation of large majority of

The main consoling thought in this
melancholy prospect Is that If some OF
the Republican members have been un.
wise an overwhelming humber of the
minority membership has been perma-
nently in the same fix. Until the De.
nocracy shall evolve policy and stick

cans will not be fatal. Though Repub-
licans fall out some of the time they
are safe so long as their opponents find
1t impossible at any time to fall in. In
the meanwhile 1t will not /be overlooked
by the country that the Republican
leaders in the house. the "organiza ton,
so to speak, made most of their own
troubles themselves. They began by
opposing the president and only came
to his support when self-interest COM

was badly handicapped by their first.

know better. For the present, there is
nothing to do but to hope that the
breach of Friday may be healed before

for the next test of strength.

A Manly Candidate.

FROM tne InlluueIpNla inquirer.
John p. Ekn boldly challenges any candidate
to meet him at any OF the county primaries and
appeal directly 10 the votes OF the people for sup.
port. That is the manly way to do II the mil
lionairc combine of Pittsburg las candidate OF
its own, by all means let it produce him. il
Senator Quay wishes to test the qualities OF any
person he may name bring him before the citi
zens. 1t will not do for the senator TO undcr
take to bowl Elkn ont and then lit up at the
last moment in Harrisburg and dictate some one
for governor.
1t is not too late for Quay to listen to reason.
He has turned an ear-let us hope bu, temporari.
ly-to the Pittsburg franchise grabbers and bood.
Icrs, and has rejected the wishes of his own
friends. 1t is the right of the leaders OF Penn
sylvania Republicansm to resent this betrayal of
long time friendships. 1t is not only their right
TO be heard, but it is their duty i'll the midst OF
u crisis in party affairs to impress upon the sem
ator the dangers Of the position which he has as.
sulned.
Nearly all of the county leaders in Pennsyl.
yania are the warm personal friends of Mr Elhin.
Senator Quay has no right to bring discord and
confusion among them by running after PITTS
burg millonaires and depending upon old leaders
to follow after him. 1t is terrible thing that hs
expects them to do, and their very manhood re-

Out Goes Cameron,

From the Lancaster New Era. +
There is no room for further doubt that Senator
Quay was controlled in his remarkable course
towards Attorney General Elkin's candidacy by
influential corporation influences, whose inter.
ess lay in the selection of y.Senator Don Cam.
eron as the Republican candidate for governor.
There is also every reason to believe that this or.
rangcment was made with the full knowledge of
certain distinguished metropolitan editors, who
for some years have been Senator Quay's strong.

lattcr's leadership, asserted in its most offensive
form. II thereby they could re.cstablish them.
selves in position of influence with the party.
This remarkable manifestation OF public feeling
against the former SENATOR an uprising that has
gained in force daily instead OF abating, as had
been confidently anticipated, has completely up.
set and disconnected the plans Of the high polit.
cal consprators, and there is now little doubt
that Mr.. Cameron has been hurrcdly dropped
from their calculations. Commissioner Durham,
upon whom Senator Quay must rely for the bulk
OF his support in his effort to control the Repu6.
lcan convention, has positively refused to be
party to the move in the interest Of Cameron,
and it is therefore probable that will hear less
and less Of that feature OF the canvass. As no
second choice was considered by Senator Quay
when he launched his remarkable manifesto. the
senator finds himself unexpectedly very much at
sea, in the face of a most determined opposition,
backed by sentiment throughout the state that
is almost unprecedented and promises to be ir-
rcsstible. With greater vigor and determine.
tion than ever, Attorney General Elkn has re.
solved that the people OF every county in the
state where the delegates remain to be elected
shall have the opportunity to voice their senti-
mnts the question OF their choice, and instead
of absolutely dictated, one.man convention,
the gathering at Harrisburg in June promises to
be one OF tie most popular and liveliest in the
history Of the party. Whatever were the mo.
tivcs that prompted Senator Quay. he has been
the Indirect cause of nfusing an interest in the
canvass that was heretofore lacking and that will
go far toward inslring the success OF the ticket
by an overwhelming majority, if the party man
ayers have q grain of common sense.

Il drove a dirk into the man
chiefly responsible for his
present existence politically will be in
Huntingdon county, and John p. Elliin,
in a manly letter to the chairman of the
Republican committee of that county,
announces his wish to register as a cam
didate for governor and have an eX-
preston of preference from the Repub-
lcan voters of Huntingdon.
BY the time that these primaries are
held it is hoped that the men who lured
Quay into his present unnatural attitude
will have decided upon the man that
the desire to foist upon the Republicans
of Pennsylvania and will order him to
try his luck against F.lkin openly. By
the outcome of such II campaign Mr..
Elkin and all his friends are perfectly
willing to abide. They simply want Il
fair and open test of party preference.
They believe from the results in those
counties where such tests have been
made that the result throughout the
state would be in their favor: but
whether that belief is correct or not,
they stand ready to accept and ac-
quiese in the popular verdict. a cam
paign conducted on such basis could
not possibly injure the party, but on
the contrary is necessary to protect
obvious party interests.
On the contrary. should the Threatens
ed attempt be carried out to sandbag
Republican sentiment by forcing on the
ticket some candidate selected in secret
conclave by a cOterie of men who dare
not themselves go before the people and
who fear to let their representative go

political loyalty of John p. Elkin the
history of Pennsylvania politics is elo-

sequences. A sitting of the party pre-
ference in 1882 elected Pattison in the
state and WAS followed two years later
by the election of Cleveland in the
nation. Both incidents were repea ted

afterward,;N these two object lessons
admonish those interested in Repub-
lican success to beware when bosses

people.

TNDOCBTEDLY the situation
in which the house organiZa-
~ tion finds itself as result of

rules and traditions constitute the

The expected rush in the market has
not yet materialized. The trade of the
market is now more evenly divided. it
has become steadier and more continu-
Gus. The absolute idleness for weeks
and months at time is eliminated and
trading keeps the market busy, if not
rushing, from beginning to the end of
the week, though with less satisfaction
than in former times. In the aggregate
"a larger volume of goods is disposed of,
but it requires more work, steadier at
tention, more entries, and causes perhaps
greater annoyances than when entire
packings and importations were sold out
in bulk. 1t is also more difficult now
for reporter to keep track of the sales
of the market, as merchants are less dis
posed to divulge their small than big
sales. Nevertheless, the market is in a
good and healthy condition. There be-
ing no surplus of stock, all types sell
freely and at advanced figures. And the
scarcer the article the bigger the de-
mand. The principal sales the past week
were made IN 99 Pennsylvania, of which

The Sumatra market remains fair and

The Havana market has somewhat

rocity provisions. But that is a mere
pretense, because it lacks any substan-
tial ground. For whatever the duty
may be under a reciprocity arrangement,
ample notice will no doubt be given the

There is nothing especially new in
tobacco matters to report this week.
There has been no big rush in deliveries
and everything is moving gradually.
There is some riding throughout the
country districts by local buyers and
very little of last years crop remains un-
sold. 1t is disappointment to farmers
that sufficient case weather has not come
to the valley sections to admit of the re-
moval of their crops. This is unfortu-
nate for growers and buyers. 1t will
make late date when the tobacco can
be delivered.
The probabilities are that the work in
at least two of the local warehouses will
be practically completed within a week,
making the packing season short one.
