The triumph Of the reformers in PhiIa-
1elphia. Last November they won a
sweeping victory, and Mayor Weaver
vas looked upon as the coming man in
ne keystone State, but already the old
ing has recovered its wind and last
week, with Senator Boies Penrose at
g mead, showed Mayor Weaver and |
rs Republican reformers under. The
ontest was for delegates to the state |
invention to nominate candidate for
overnor, with candidates for all state +
noes. Penrose and his crowd bagged
majority of them, which puts Mayor t
veaver out OF the gubernatorial run
ing unless the country Republicans re-
eat the performance Of the rura,
'emocrats in Missouri in 1904. II will
remembered that Joseph w. Folk

ate, Judge Elkins, then attorney gen

bandoned him and brought out and
sminated the present governor, Pen

alton enabled Quay to win. Penrose

hen the Democrats nominated Rob-

, be governor, and that is for the re-

lin hands and nominate a mixed tick
!. Even then the allies would have
ugh job to elect their ticket, but it
light be done. One result would GER
ainly be that we would bag a dozen
