Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-01-20
THE FIGHT is OVER.


the race because Governor Beaver is ambi-
tious to see the Secretary of the Common
wealth, ex-Lieutenant Governor Stone, sue
ceed him. Mr.. Stones feelings are those
natural to any man under similar circum-
stances. If the nomination comes his way,
he will not decline, but the convention is
too far off to bother much about it yet.
The election OF State Treasurer inter-
venes, and Speaker Boyer, of the House,
who has established a reputation as an able
presiding officer, is talked of in political
circles for the place. Senator Rutan might
have it without the slightest difficulty, and
if he thought a foreign mission would bene-
fit his health, it is by no means beyond his
reach. The objection to that, though, is
that it would remove him from the domain
of active politics. SIMPSON.
HARMONY NECESSARY.
THE DIsPATCH's staff correspondent at
Washington telegraphs: 1t is whispered
about that disposition to harmony struck
Pennsylvania Republican leaders something
after the volume of a tidal wave. The de-
feat of the party in 1884, its resurrection
last November, the prominent part played
by Pennsylvania leaders in the national
campaign, the Importance of harmony in
the interests of success and the new hopes
and aspirations of all Republicans have, it
is said, led to a broader and more catholic
spirit, and there is prospect that many old
coolnesses will be warmed into renewed
friendship.
The triendliness of Senators Cameron and
Quay exhibited this week toward ex-
Secretary Blaine, has led to a somewhat
critical analysis of the relations Of a number
of Pennsylvania leaders among themselves
and to leaders of other States, and a bit of
the gossip that crops out in this connection
is that there is about to be renewal of re-
ciprocity between Senator Quay and Mr.. G.
L. Magee. 1t is asserted that the old and
cordial friendship between these eminent
leaders, disrupted by disputes in regard to
the selection of candidates, would have been
renewed long ago had it not been for the
fact that certain friends of each of the men
were interested in keeping them apart.
A RECONCILIATION EFFECTED.
A mutual friend of Messrs. Cameron,
Quay and Magee assures the correspondent
of The DISPATCH that Cameron has taken
the matter in hand with the determination
to bring the two gentlemen together. Mr..
Magee was here a short time ago and in
conversation with Senator Cameron, who
urged upon him the Importance of har-
mony, expressed himself in sympathy with
Cameron's views, and assured the Senator
that he was quite willing to meet Senator
Quay half way.
In the room of the Naval Committee, of
which Senator Cameron is Chairman, Mr..
Magee met young Dick Quay, the Senator's
son, and had very pleasant and confden-
tial chat with him. The Senator himself
was absent from the city at the time, or it is
probable the reunion would have been cele-
brated before the departure of the brilliant
Pittsburger, but it is believed that Sen
ator Cameron has established the en-
tente cordiale in the minds of the
differing leaders, and that at the first op-
portunity they will re-cement their old and
sincere friendship, and join hands to nomi-
nate and elect Hon. George Wallace Della
mater Governor of Pennsylvania, as we'll as
to do certain other little things in the way
of good party management.
The friends of Quay, Magee and Cameron
in this city are verY much gratifed by the
prospect that the unpleasant disagreement
of the junior Pennsylvania Senator and the
brilliant Pittsburg leader is soon to be
buried. E. w. L.
