PENNSYLVANIA IN NATIONAL
POLITICS.

There have been three occasions
when the Pennsylvania Repub
licans have presented a Presiden
tial candidate to national con
vention, or, we might say four II
we include the time when the May
or Filter boom was carried into
the great convention Of 1888 by a |
portion of the Pennsylvania
delegates. Simon Cameron was the
hitching post for the State IN feel
ing its way in the historic struggle
between the Seward and Lincoln
forces: Governor Hartranft was
the candidate of the Camerons in
h 4ading off the first ambition Of
James G. Blaine, and might have
been nominated, it was afterward
thought, in place of Hayes, ii
PENNSYLVANIA had been as alive
to its opportunity as Ohio, and
Matthew S. Quay was its flower
and fruitage in the convention at
st. Louis which nominated Nc
Kinley. But the time has never
been when the Republicans in the
second State of the Union ha1 e
Joined hands aggressively, earnes
tIy, intelligently and Loyalty for a
candidate whom they really want
to have nominated, or who, they
thought, could be nominated.
In the past month or two II e e
has been considerable sentimel t
expressed in favor of Senator Knox
as candidate whom Pennsylvania
should back in the national con
, vention of next year. 1t is more
, than possible that the State con-
vention fortnight hence may SO
endorse him. 1t will be in order
o to contend that in the present
, condition of the Democracy party
there is no longer, outside of New
f York, the old line of "doubtfuP
States, scuh as Connecticut, New
Jersey, Indiana and even OhiC
used to be: that the argument tina
a sure republican State need no
" be recognized when close State
1 are trembling in the balance ha
" largely ceased to hold good, an
:. that if candidate is to be take
u outside of New York, there is n
sufficient reason why Pennsylvs
MIA should not have at least a
much consideration as Ohio c
at Indinia or Illinois. There ha
N certainly been no time when

III now that any one State or group {
e. States shouldEbe specially recol
ia nized, either by the Republican
or Democrats, unless New York
in last year, may need to be e.
Us cepted. In this respect all til
to States in the convention will o,
lie cupy toward one another more of
i footing.of equality than heretofol
it has usually been the case fC
a many years. Hence a candida
named by Pennsylvania would n,
necessarily suffer simply becau;
q. of the very strength of his part
