up delegates in the interest of Quay
County Committee men Mr. Marland had been
attending to private business and mad no lqea

land was seen later, and said: we are hust-

until Saturday night"
MR.. MAGEE NOT QUARRELSoME.
Mr.. C. L. Magee was asked this afternoon
about the fight in progress, but said he hadn't
even heard tae name of a single candidate for
the County Committee. He denied the story
that he was going into any deal to elect
Democratic CITY Controller He had helped to
elect Mr.. Morrow, and he said, in answer TO
direct question, that he was in tavor OF his re-
election.
How about the story that you and Mr..
Finn have quarreledP'
'tMr Finn and have large business interests
together. There has been no quarrel between
US and there will be none"
'tIs there any difference between you con-
cerning the County Committee rulesr
The County Committee rules don't care
about one way or the other"
at is reported you are setting up delegates
against Boyer for State Treasurer"
al have heard of no opposition to him."
"Are you in favor of his candidacy?"
81 am not interested in it one way OF the
other. The State Convention has not yet been
called and will not meet before some time in
August, / expect to go to Europe in July and
will be absent until after the State Convention
and will do well to get home in time to vote. /
have no doubt the delegation from Allegheny
county will be for Boyer"
what do you think Mr.. Ford's chances for
the postmastership are"
There is a man in Washington who attends
to all that kind of business and it is not always
an easy matter to tell what he is thinking
about such things Our people. Of course. are
all for Ford. No. had not heard anything
concerning q compromise by which Ford was
to be given the postoffce after Warmcastle had
received his appointment"
PROMISES OF POSITIONS.
TIE talk on the street yesterday was that
positions in the postofice were being profusely
promised for support for Quay committeeman.
George Won Bonnhorst Chairman of the
County Committee, was down town this after
noon for the first time after an illness of week
or more. He knew nothing about what was
transpiAing.
Hon lharles Robson is doing no work in
his owl behalf for the position of Surveyor of
the Pdrt; bit his friends feel confident of his
appointment a. the expiration of the term of
the present incumbent. Hon. John F. Dravo
of BssveT, is a candidate for the place; but Mr..
Quay is said to fear it would be bad politics to
bestow the Office outside Of Allegheny county
at the present time.
Walter Lyon is ignorant of the date of his ap-
poIntment as United States District Attorney
but says he is rot worrying about it, and really
doesn't care whether he gets it or not.
