HARRISBURG. March LIT may have been
mistake" said gentleman prominent In
State politics, s.for Speaker Boyer to announce
himself SO early as q candidate for state
Treasurer. The prohibition election is yet to
occur, and should the amendment be carried,
as many think it will be, there is no doubt
many persons who are prominent in the move
ment will aspire to the honor, in which case 1t
will be the field against Boyer, with many COM
binations probable to knock him out"
How does Mr.. Magee regard Boyer's candi-
dacy?"
81 can hal dly answer that. Personally he Is
very friendly to him. But Boyer is especially
Quays candidate, and it is not safe to say
Magee would be for him if some other strong
candidate should take the field. My own idea
is that Magee will not go into the fight at all.
81 hear that Senator Reyburn is Magee's
choice for the Governorship."
"They are warm friends, but think Magee
will be for Cooper, if Cooper will be candi-
date. One thing, though. is certain: Reyburn
and Cooper will not enter the field against each
other. The contest is far off yet, though, and
one can't tell what may happen between now
and then"
Events move fast in politics and some people
are looking beyond the nearer contests to the
Gubernarorial contest of 1894. An ex-member
of the Legislature, who resides in Harrisburg
says: "If Boyer is elected State Treasurer, he
will succeed Delamater as Governor, He's got
the stuff in him to make good and popular
Treasurer, and that will give him grip that
will only become firmer between the expiration
of his term as Treasurer and the Gubernatorial
election"
what are Boyer's relations to Magee? was
question put to a gentleman who keeps an
eye on State politics, and is on intimate terms
with the one and friendly terms with the other.
HE is on a very friendly footing with Magee
sufficiently friendly, think, to be justified in
expecting aid from him in the campaign, or at
least friendly neutrality. OF course if the mo-
mentous question: came to Boyer, under which
king? he would answer Quay He couldD't
very well do anything else"
How about Reyburn for Governor as
Magee candidate?'
"Reyburn would be strong if he could get
the nomination, but as Magee man he
couldn't carry Philadelphia and man ought
at least to have the support of his own locality
to make much of fight"
Senator Quay is yet in Washington, and, it is
reported, will remain there until after the
Inauguration. He had intended to go direct to
his home in Beaver after his return from
Florida to the national capital. but circum-
stances interfered. Those circumstances are
believed here to mainly grow out of the arrival
of General Harrison in Washington with a
Cabinet slate that has been badly fractured
several times, and is just now greatly in need
of some skillful hand and brain to restore its
parts or find substitutes for them, SO that they
will look as good as new. SIMPSON.
