Republican Tactics in Pennsylvania

The article comments on Republican tactics in Pennsylvania. There seems to be no doubt that, but for the interference of the Presidential candidate James G. Blame's friends, the President would have suffered a most humiliating slight at the hands of the Pennsylvania Republican Convention last week. Two Senators had been at work openly for several weeks past preparing to administer this slight. They are dissatisfied for various reasons with the President, and are anxious to show him their power. They reasoned that if they could get a plank into the Republican platform of Pennsylvania declaring Blame to be the choice of the Republicans of that State for the Presidency, it would be nothing more nor less than public announcement that the Republicans of the most powerful Republican State in the Union were not in favor of the Presidents renomination.
