Supporters of Edwin S. Stuart, the

had gratifying reports from two ends
Of the state this week
First, from Allegheny county came
the news that the leaders of the Citi
zens Party, the local reform organi
cation which succeeded In electing
George w. Guthrie mayor of Pitts.
burg. have decided to support the en-.
tire Republican state ticket. They pro
pose to confine their Independent po.
litical operations to local affairs In
the state campaign they will vote the
full Republican ticket from Stuart
down. and also for all of the Republi
can candidates for congress-
While State Chairman Wesley r
Andrews has been getting gratifying
reports from all Of the Republican
county chairmen in the interior coun
ties. the state committee leaving the
management of the canvass in the
counties OF Allegheny and Philadel
phia to the local organizations. he has
not got better news from anywhere
than he has received from both these
counties
In Philadelphia. where former Mayor
Stuart is best known, a strong move
ment has been started in his interest
among the members OF the City Party
Leaders in that party have formed an
organization with the view to voting
for the Republican state nominees
and for Republican nominees for con
gress
The chairman of the movement was
one Of the most active men upon the
stump for Berry and the fusion ticket
last fall. He was counted upon by tn
Emery managers to accompany their
candidate for governor on his tour OF
the state. Lincolnite Campaign Chair
man Gable was chagrined few days
ago when he learned that this gifted
spellDinder is going to speak for Ed
win s. Stuart this fall His name Is
George w Sturmer. He Is styled 'the
locomotive engineer orator" and he is
very widely known throughout Penn
sylvania.
Schenine Leaders Repudiated.
In public statement, explaining his
position to the City Party voters OF
Philadelphia. Mr.. Sturmer. among
other things, said:
THE City Party voters are going to
confine their attention to local affair:
this fall. that Is, those Of them who are
Republicans. They believe that the
mixing of state and nation politics In
this. a semi-national election. is fraught
with grave dangers to the cause oi
civic regeneration. and IL carried fur.
ther. means the total annihilation OF
the reform forces next February.
"Ths ticket nominated by the Dem.
Ocratic party and endorsed by the Lin.
coin party, which was led By many
men high in the councils of tho City
Party. is not satisfactory to q large
proportion OF the City Party voters
The election Of Mr.. Emery. who while
an honest man, would carry into offce
three Democrats. which. with the pres.
ent state treasurer. would give the
Democrats the preponderance of power
in the executive Offices at Harrisburg
Suppose Mr.. Emery, IL elected. should
die. The entire state administration
Of this rock-Tibbed Republican stat
would be in the hands of the Demo.
cratic party.
THE present Republican ticket 10 b.
yond reproach. Against the character
or integrity Of any enc or them NO mn
can say a word. The head OF tho ticket
Is a native and resident of this city. he
has been honored by our citizens with
the highest ONCE within their gift. and
he performed the duties Of that high
Office with all credit to himself and to
the full satisfaction of the people II
is not to be supposed that IL elected to
the once of governor he will fnil tn
people or put stain on tho prou
record he now holds"
