ton this evening. Senator Quay would
not be interviewed on political matters.
DIDN'T NAME A CABINET MEMBER.
A gentleman who accompanied Sena-
tor Quay on his visit to General Harri-
son says there was nothing unusual in
the meeting between them. 1t is ex.
planned by one of the gentlemen COM
prising Senator Quay's party that the
latter's visit was not OF such great politi-
cal importance as the public had been
led to believe. "Of course they talked
politics." he said, "that is Colonel
Quay's business; but the idea that he
came here loaded with important sug-
gestions and State secrets is all mis-
take-mere newspaper theory"
There is no doubt" continued the
speaker, "that Colonel Quay is very
much interested in seeing Pennsylvania
recognized. His endorsement of any
man for Cabinet position would have
great weight. but Quay did not come
here with the idea that he was to name
a member OF the Cabinet.

the President-elect said General Harri
son had no suggestions to make regard
