Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-08-01

been coeuetting with Mr.. Finn since that
time. Many regard Collector Warmcastle's
vote in Councils against the Mayors Dia-
mond street veto as an indica-
tion that something was on foot
toward patching up a peace between the
local factions, and some thought at first that
it was case OF Warmcastle going over to
the enemy, inasmuch as Mayor McCallin is
a good Quay man himself. To-day these
people regard it as one of the efforts to get
the enemy to come over on the Quay side.
QUAY's MANY CALLERS.
Mr.. Quay occupied room 123 at the
Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. United
States District Attorney Lyon, Collector
Warmcastle, j. S. Mexican, who expects to
be postmaster of Pittsburg. and John
Gilliland, who expects to be post
master of Allegheny, were among his
callers. Among those who called on
him in relation to Senatorial matters in AL
legheny were w. w. Speer one of the can
didates, Emanuel Wertheimer, Charles and
Marvin Scaife. E. NJ. Byers, James Hunter,
Arthur Kennedy, james Bradley and Hon.
VIM. Marshall. Nelson P. Reed, whose
guest Mr.. Quay was the night before last.
was with him all day Yesterday. Senator
will be at the hotel this morning.
Mr.. Reed, who is supposed to know what
was in the wind, if any one did, stated that
the object of the conference was to settle the
triangular controversy regarding the State
Senatorship from the Allegheny district be-
tween Messrs. j. S. Rutan, w. W. Speer
and john Neeb, and that he knew of no
other object in view. Most of the visitors,
he said, were Speer's friends.
Mr.. J. S. Mexican refused to tell what
he knew, but his statement was
r r. Al e..
that Mr.. McKean's refusal was based on the
assertion that he had no personal interest
in the matter under consideration.
At 3 o'clock the mercury at the Seventh
Avenue Hotel uniformly reported that room
123 was untenanted, and it was stated
that Senator Quay had folded his
tent and had departed for Beaver.
Mr.. Mexican accompanied Mr.. Quay
to the depot and said later to a friend that
Mr.. Quay had made no decision in the AL
legheny Senatorial district and probably
would not until Senator Rutan returned.
Mr.. Quay, he is reported to have said, is
not the kind of person to dump man in
his absence. This was in reply to an opin-
ion that Mr.. Quay was going to do that very
thing, and is not to be taken as an indica-
tion that Mr.. Quay is merely waiting Tor
Mr.. Rutan's return to do it.
THE DELEGATION ORGANIZED. /
The Allegheny delegation to the State
Convention showed itself to be Quay dele
cation by electing Arthur Kennedy Chair
man and Harry Armstrong Secretary. The
meeting was held in United States District
Attorney Lyons Office, and on his motion
resolutions were adopted indorsing II. K
Boyer for State Treasurer and w. II. An
drews for State Chairman.
A very close friend of John Neeb said
last night in reply to an inquiry regarding
the Quay conference and its object: "Quay
is here by request of a former Allegheny
friend of Rutan who now opposes his can
didacy for Senator in the Forty-second dis
trict. The conference lasted from 1890 to
II o'clock, and the only subject discussed
was the advisability Of the withdrawal of
Rutan. This proposition was enthusiastic
ally received by some of the company pres
ent, but Quay suggested that nothing be
done until the old mans return, as he was
a stubborn fellow and might kick over the
traces As Quay pooh-poohed the idea of
Mech standing for candidate but short
time ago, and declared that Rutan would
wipe the ground up with him, the propo-
sition to withdraw Rutan's name is at least
suggestive.
