Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-10-15

spend the winter. He leaves primarily so
early in the season to help out Malone in
Virginia, who is struggling hard against
fate and Southern Democrats. The Senator
is anxious to have the Case postmastership
fight settled at once.
Senator M. S. Quay had the Pennsyl-
vania limited stopped at Beaver Falls last
Sunday night. and he then boarded it,
bound for Washington. His presence upon
the train was not discovered at the Union
station, and the junior Senator escaped run
ming the reportorial gantlet, peaceaIly
continuing his journey to Washington,
where he arrived yesterday morning, driv-
ing Immediately to his new home, No. 1929
street, whittier his family had preceded
him ten days previously.
Senator Quay will be no more seen at
Beaver during the coming winter. He will
definitely remain in Washington from this
time on. The boys who want to see him
will have to make more lengthy pilgrim
age than from Pittsburg to Beaver.
His early presence at Washington is sig
nifcant in more ways than one. The Ma
tional Republican Committee is taking
most active part in the pending fight in the
Old Dominion. The battle is one OF the
fercest in the checkered political history of
that State, and it Is known that General
Malone has sent up Macedonian cry which
could not be disregarded. In the culmlna-
tion of the campaign it will be the mailed
hand of the National Republican Chair
man which will direct the onslaught upon
the Democratic cohorts.
BRINGING THE BOYS BACK.
Senator Quay is to throw oil upon the
troubled Republican waters also, and be
has it in his power to bring the recalcitrants
into camp. Although in Washington, he
will assume personal charge of the Virginia
campaign, and all the potent arguments
which wrested the crown of victory in last
November from sanguine Democratic ad-
ministration will be made use of during the
next three weeks to break the solid South.
1t is recognized by the National Committee
that Mahone's victory will be the most
crushing blow TO Southern Democracy that
could be devised. Senator Quay remarked
at the Union depot to friend who
met him by appointment that 'he thought
General Malone would be elected" This
quiet confidence in the result of the Vir-
ginia fight speaks volumes. Through the
registered bond plan devised by Senator
Quay, the National Committee is not with
out the sinews of war.
Senator Quay will also keep weather
eye upon the Pittsburg postofice fight.
Certain Pittsburg gentlemen have recently
placed themselves on record In the archives
of the Postofice Department as being in
favor of continuing Postmaster Larkin in
office until the last moment of his commits
sion time. This makes the Senator very
tired.
HE WANTS IT SETTLED.
He believes In settling the contest with
but little further delay. The originators of
plan by which the supposed deadlock be-
tween candidates Mexican and Ford might
be picked by key upon which the name Of
Frank P. Case appears as a compromise
scheme, caused the sending of several
bushels of kilograms to Washington.
Several gentlemen rode from Beaver to
Pittsburg with the Beaver statesman. The
latter asked many minute questions in re-
gard to Allegheny county politics He
wanted to know whether there was any truth
in the report that certain friends of Major
Montooth were langulshing to have him
Withdrawn from the Gubernatorial race in
order that the Hastings boom might be
decently espoused by the aforesaid friends.
To this question various answers were re-
turned. Several other matters were talked
OF, but Senator Quay is famous for asking
quantities of questions and answering very
few.
But to all interrogations as to status of
postofice, Collector of the Port, q. S. Mar
shal and legislative matters Senator Quay
returned the invariable answer that H. X.
Boyer was running for the State Treasur-
ship, and that nothing else in Pennsylvania
interested him particularly.
Hon. Walter Lyon, q. s. District Attor-
ney, went to Washington last evening to
confer with Attorney General Miller and
Secretary Window about official matters
connected with his Office. He will not re-
main long in Washington as q. s. Court
meets here shortly and there is large ac-
emulation of business awaiting attention.
