From the Philadelphia Times.
The opposition to Senator Quay's die
tatorship within the Republican, organ
i2ation never appeared so formidable as
ar tn" meeting of this years state con-
VCntion. Never before was his personal
power manifested with more crushing
force. His victory over all classes of
opponents is complete and overwhem-
ing. lie named the committees. told
them what to do, selected the officers of
the convention, had himself appointed
state chairman, under suspension OF
rules, and finally nominal ted the candi-
dates he had personally chosen. Colonel
Watres. who had professed to be making
an independent campaign. retired before
the ballot. and the enthusiastic Elkin
bowed before the superior power of the
great master of political intrigue.
In the politics of no other state has the
cic-man power developed to an extent
to compare with that exhibited in Penn
syl"ania. In any other state we should
expect so arbitrary n dictatorship to
excite resentment, and such n revolt as
that which Quay has just crushed to
leave dangerous discomfort. But the
discipline OF the party organization defes
all attack. and the men who have tried
to assume the command of the machine
themselves viii! be the most eager to re-
establish their relations with the dicta-
tor. Long before the election, the ma
chine Will again be running smoothly
throughout the state under the senator's
personal direction. and Stone and Elkin
and their associates will have resumed
their places among its most devoted ad-
herents. And the great body of the
Republican party will accept Quay's or
ders as humbly as did the delegates at
Harrisburg.
Little regret can he felt for Elkins
failure. except that his effort was made
through popular appeal that command
ed some sympathy. Otherwise, he rep
resented no principle that was distn-
euishnble from Quay's. The only candi-
date who was profesSedly opposed to the
machine system made so poor showing
at the last as to emphasize once more
the hopcessnesS of reform within the
party lines" The party, as represented
in It's organization, has no desire to be
re formed, and no use for independent
candidates.
Judge Pennypacker, who Is Senator
Quay's personal choice for governor. and
was taken solely on his command Is an
excellent type of the sincere Pennsyva-
mia Republicans who look upon Quay as
a mighty statesman and are content with
anything that he does. lie IL the con-

~ EFEAT in politics Is some
times fatal; in other cases Ii
- is beneficial. The concensus
of well-informed opinion in
the case of John P. F;lkin is that it be-
longs within the latter class.
We should have liked to see Mr.. Elkin
win at Wednesdays convention and we
have no apology to offer for the part
We took in supporting his candidacy.
I'm pursuance of a pledge given before
Colonel Watres announced that he
would contest for gubernatorial hOnors,
a pledge the more willingly given be-
cause we then recognized in Mr.. Elkin
manly qualities since largely revealed
to the people generally, we followed his
fortunes through the magnificent cam
paign he made and are with him in de-
feat with as thorough a confidence in
his future as If the conventions choice
had fallen upon his shoulders. But we
also recognize that defeat at this time
and under the circumstances by which
it came has well-defined advantages.
Heretofore Mr. Elkin has been known
to the public mainly as Il lieutenant of
others. Their mistakes We're visited
upon him for censure: their faults
charged to him for punishment. Be
cause he would not turn his back on
men who had befriended him, Mr. Ell
kin was held to account for the vicious
legislation instigated by those lately
foremost in attacking him; and for the
unpopular administrative acts commit
ted by his immediate official chief. De-
feat of his gubernatOrial aspiration lib
crates him to stand hereafter upon his
own feet, the lieutenant of no mana
leader with credentials direct from the
people.
The fight waged by him was clean,
vigorous and manly fight. 1t failed
among the delegates for reasons not
necessary to repeat, but it has not
failed among the people. What is
known as the Elliin organizaton--a
force measured at Harrisburg by up
ward of $50 delegates whom money
could not buy nor temptation swerve--
will not disband. Neither will it lay
down. 1t has chosen deliberately the
leader whom it will follow, and it smil-
ingly awaits his-call 1t is not mer-
cenary organization, but a band of
young Republicans who, with malice
toward none. propose to take an active
part in the politics of the future. Its
membership can survive defeat and
profit by experience. The road Is long
that has no turning, and the road
they tread has victory for its goal.
At AZ, in the height of physical vgor
AID mental strength, a recognized
giant among the younger Republicans
of the country, and rich in the esteem
and admiration of those who know
him best, including many compulsorily
aligned against him in the recent fight,
John Elkn can afford to bide his time.
When he went down on Wednesday 1t
was with colors flying. The colors
have. not been lost nor captured and
he will not stay down.

the light of experience seems
Il desirable in the interest of
cleaner elections. That is
law establishing uniform open prim-
ary elections, to be held in every coun-
ty simultaneously While Wednes-
days convention exhibited instances in
which delegates instructed by their con-
stituents proved perfidiOus under eX-
.ceptional temptation, it is hard to be-
lieve that there would be perfidy on q
large scale if the Republicans of every
county should openly instruct at uni
form primary.
This plan has been tried in certain
other states and it has worked we'll. A
rule requiring that the lowest name in
the convention ballotng be dropped un-
til one candidate shall receive Il major
ity would prevent the deadlocking OF
the state convention by reason of a
multiplicity of names.
While the millennium In politics is
evidently remote in Pennsylvania it is
not difficult to deduce from the recent
proceedings at Harrisburg that some
tlllilS HllSt De uoIlt " IIliht convene
tiOns representative if the Republican
party in this state Is to remain Il ma
jority party. When as many as two
score delegates elected and committed
in the interest of Il certain candidate
can he induced at the last moment to
transfer their support to rival cam
didate who had not been able to secure
the endorsement of a single open prim-
ary, it requires no comment to con-
vince the average man that something
is wrong. In the present campaign the
beneficiary of this peculiar kind of mis-
siOnary work Is acquitted of RESPONSE
bility and will doubtless receive the
party's united and earnest support be-
cause of his high character and respect
able attainments; but the system is
vicious and unless remedied will yet
wind up in disaster.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania
will look to the administration of Gov
ernor Pennypacker to carry out in good
faith the pledge quoted from the state
platform at the head of this article.
Pledges similar in tenor have been
made before ana afterward ignored or
repudiated. The time seems to be ripe
for keeping faith in this matter.
