There will be nothing done by Thomas Hoopes' men until after the national convention in Philadelphia has completed its work. But next week John Cavnnaugh will call his county committee together and it is expected of him to have his end of the fusion plans laid bare to the inspection of the Independent end of the proposed aggregation, and if this is done HuUsfaotorlly the anti-Quay Republicans promise to get together in short metre order and do the rest. Sharpies May Consent.

Thomas Sharpless. of Birmingham, the one for whom the: fusion dnignet has been out for several weeks in connection with the legislative candidacy on behalf of the Independents for the Eastern district, will be heard from In a few days. This Is a plain case of the office, or. ra'her the nomination. seeking the nan.

something that has not been witnessed here for several yeanf. He hat refused to allow his name to be thus used, but he w.m loid the other day by Major Moore, that this was a mutter in which be I would not be permitted to have a video, and that when the convention met it wonM place him on the ticket regardless of Ills preferences or any adverse action he may see fit to take. Since then, it is alleged, he has beeu more resigned to hit? political fate, but he insists that to doesn't want the nomination, and was ith to be elected to a seat In the Legislature it would be at great sacrifice to bis dairyluterests; berddes be feels thut he would bo much happier at butter making than in the labors of making laws, for the people of the Keystone State.

Copt's N'ftme Saved Him. The leading interest in relation to the Stalwart ticket for the Legislature promises to centre In Fred Cope, who Is making bis initial effort this time down in Lincoln and throughout the southern end.

It alleged upon pretty straight authority that Mr. Cope's name won him the nomination. Had It been Smith. Jones, Slmpklns or anything else but Cope he wouldn't have been in it. The real Stalwart choice was Dr.

Milton K. Conard. of West Grove, and he came within an ace- of getting the prize. Had his name been Cope instead of Conard he would have won. Hut after a careful juggling of the two mimes it was decided by Larry Eyre Co, that Cope was weightier than Conard because of a large circle of family connections, the most of whom have at intervals had the disagreeable habit of running into the anti-Quay camp find voting there.

And no it is hoped with Fred Cope on the Stalwart ticket tills year that all of the Cope family, from the Coven tries down to the Nottingham, will rise up as one man and vote for Fred and the rest of the Stalwart ticket. All of which Ex-Coroner Barclay Lear snys they won't do by a long way. The New Food Commissioner.
