Look out for w oil bless imitations. tool ER IS HOPEFUL. Colenel Ouffey has gotten the Dem-ocratic ma, bins lead.r- of Philadelphia to work in harmony with the Insurgent Republicans ol that city in the matter of defeating regularly nominated Re-publican candidates for the legisla-ture next fall. Ouffey would like to see Democrats elected In dose districts, but where he cannot bring that al t he wants his followers to join hinds with the Insurgents and prevent Hie ■election of Republicans who are pledg-ed to vote for the Republican caucus nominee for United States senator at Harrisburg next winter. While Ouffey is talking fusion on the, legislature In the hope of helping along j his own Interests, ho is just as boldly' proclaiming that William Jennings Bryan will get ihe votes "f the national delegates from Pennsylvania for presi-dent and thai he bellves that be win bo alected I,v toe people nexl Novem-ber, it is regarded as a strang idl-tlon of affairs that so-called Republi-can! should be working with this pro-nounced Bryanlte In the Important matter of the election of a United "ii'ior from Pennsylvania, and at the saaie time seek to he recognised BS Republican- .i.,d he permiiied to participate In the co inclls of ihe Re-publican organisation. Hut the stalwart element of the party In this state does not appear to beat all concerned about the result of the contest now under way for the elec-tion of members Of the legislature. Former State Chairman Thomas V. Cooper, who has been nominated for the legislature In Delaware county, hns made a tabulation of the result of the balloting ai Republican primaries up to dale. In the matter of the nomina-tion of candidates for the legislature. He points out that 31 counties have thus far nominated legislative candi-dates, and that :i:i have yet to do so. The former Republican fleljl marshal states that Colonel Quay has made a gain of is members. Besides Hies,, ho says Philadelphia will give a gain of lfi stalwarts, Montgomery win give s Chester 4. and Bucks 3. and there are 2S other counties from which olhor gains may fairly be expected. Editor Cooper was never In a mure sanguine frame of mind, and ho appar-ently cannot figure nut why the in-uir-gents can lie so foolish as to continue the fight. The work of preparation for Ihe Re-publican national convention continue! to progress very salisfactorlly. Chair-man Manley, of the sub-committee of the Republican national committee, was hero a few days ago and carefully Inspected the convention hall and con-ferred with Mayor Ashbrtdgc regard Ing the plans of his committee. Mr. Manley expressed himself as dellgh cd with the arrangements and declared that the convention hall win be the finest ever placid al the disposal of a Republican national convention. It Is larger that any hall that has hereto-fore been used tor a national conven-tion and its surroundings will be made very attractive. Mayor Ash-brldge has directed the city forester to plant tree.- and have the adjoining grounds sodden and many flower hods will he laid out with Hie best skill of land-.ape gardeners. The Interior oi the hall will he beautifully dei in."ed and every convenience will he afforded for the comfort of the delegates, the spectators and the large force of news-paper workers Who will be here to report the proceedings of the conven-tion. One of the great features of conven-tion v i ok will he the parade on the night prior to the opining of the con-vention. Gen. I^aiis Wagner, who has been lelectl d II irahal of this parade, hns Issued ordert that all clubs inti nd-ing to panicpai- in ihe demonstration must apply foi blanks, which they are requested to mi out ami return to him. There are going to he at least 15.000 Philadelphia Republicans in the pa-rade, and all the visiting clubs will take part.

Colenel Ouffey has gotten the Dem-ocratic ma, bins lead.r- of Philadelphia to work in harmony with the Insurgent Republicans ol that city in the matter of defeating regularly nominated Re-publican candidates for the legisla-ture next fall. Ouffey would like to see Democrats elected In dose districts, but where he cannot bring that al t he wants his followers to join hinds with the Insurgents and prevent Hie ■election of Republicans who are pledg-ed to vote for the Republican caucus nominee for United States senator at Harrisburg next winter. While Ouffey is talking fusion on the, legislature In the hope of helping along j his own Interests, ho is just as boldly' proclaiming that William Jennings Bryan will get ihe votes "f the national delegates from Pennsylvania for presi-dent and thai he bellves that be win bo alected I,v toe people nexl Novem-ber, it is regarded as a strang idl-tlon of affairs that so-called Republi-can! should be working with this pro-nounced Bryanlte In the Important matter of the election of a United "ii'ior from Pennsylvania, and at the saaie time seek to he recognised BS Republican- .i.,d he permiiied to participate In the co inclls of ihe Re-publican organisation.

In the matter of the nomina-tion of candidates for the legislature. He points out that 31 counties have thus far nominated legislative candi-dates, and that :i:i have yet to do so. The former Republican fleljl marshal states that Colonel Quay has made a gain of is members. Besides Hies,, ho says Philadelphia will give a gain of lfi stalwarts, Montgomery win give s Chester 4. and Bucks 3. and there are 2S other counties from which olhor gains may fairly be expected. Editor Cooper was never In a mure sanguine frame of mind, and ho appar-ently cannot figure nut why the in-uir-gents can lie so foolish as to continue the fight.
