Philadelphia, September 4.
Manufacturers and business men of
this city have been sitting up and
taking notice since that demonstra-
tiou in New York over the home-com-
ing Of William Jennings Bryan.
That pledge TO Bryan that Pennsyl-
yania will show a gain OF at least
eight Democratic congressman in the
returns OF the November election,

in the Emery subernatorial outfit, has
opened the eyes of Pennsylvania Re
publicans 10 the dangers that lurk in
the fusion movement in this state.

tsinty that exists in SO many congress

total result than is generally under
stood. one vote may decide the elec-
tion OF the speaker OF the next ma
tional house OF representatives, and
the Democrats may get that vote from
Pennsylvania through the game that
is being worked in the deal between
the Democrats and the LincolnitcS.

utterances in letters 10 members of
congress and others, has sounded the
alarm. and has warned Republicans
everywhere To be on their guard in
every congressional district SO as to
insure the election OF members of con
gress. who will cooperate with his ad-
ministratiou in carrying out the great
policies which he has inaugurated-
