QUAY SOURSO ON SHERMAN
THE FIELD MARSHAL CHARGES
POLITICAL TREACHERY.

The Expected Appointment of Ex-
Representative Hart of Ohio as
Solicitor of Internal Revenue in the
Treasury Department the Cause of
the split-Quay Very Irate.
WASHINGTON. April Ex-senator Quay
said to-day: II consider Senator Sher-
ans actions as discreditable and dis
honorable, and when [ am found doing
anything for Senator Sherman again
the people of this country will know it. ="
1t will be remembered that Senator Quay
was Senator Sherman's chief supporter at
Chicago. He got Senator Sherman most
OF his northern votes outside OF Ohio. He
furnished the brains Of the Sherman man
agement in Adiutant General Has tings,
the man who put Senator Sherman in
nomination. Senator Quay was faithful to
Senator Sherman throughout and il there
had been chance to beat the Blaine men
iu their determination to prevent Senator
Sherman's nomination. Senator Quay
would have done it,
FAITHFUL TO THE END.
He has been faithful to Senator Sherman
ever since he wanted Senator Sherman
made Secretary OF state. He tried to bring
it about. Failing in this he has lent Sena
tor Sherman his assistance IN all his efforts
to get offices for his friends He helped
to make Smith auditor. Whitfield
Second Assistant Postmaster General, vii
son, deputy commissioner OF internal rev
enue, and Rathboue, chief postoffica in
spector, aud tried to help make Parsons
comptroller of the currency. Yet now he
declares war on Senator Sherman in these
striking terms.
CAUSE OF THE SPLIT.
The explanation is simple: Tomorrow
ex.Representatve Hart of Ohio is to be
appoiuted solicitor of internal revenue in
the treasury department. Yet when Sena
tor Quay went to Beaver ton days ago he
Thought that ii was all settled that Frank
Gilkerson Of Pennsylvania was TO be Solici-
tor Of internal revenue. He had conferred
with Senator Sherman about this office
after ne had helped Senator Sherman get
Wilson appointed deputy commissioner Of
internal revenue, and believed that he had
Senator Sherman's support for Gilkerson
for solicitor and that Senator Sherman
understood that Gllkorson was TO be ap-
pointed. In this confidence he went away.
AN EYE OPENER
Suddenly he got telegram from his
friend, First Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson, telling him that Hart had been
determined upon for this place. Senator
Quay took the first train for Washington
and called promptly on the Attorney Gen
eral and President. Both told him that al
Senator Sherman's urgent solicitation they
had determined to appoint Hart solicitor
The Attorney General told him that Hart
had been first pressed for solicitor general,
but finding that he could not get this for
him, Senator Sherman insisted upon having
him appointed solicitor Of internal revenue.
Senator Quay had the appointment held up
until yesterday.
SHERMAN PERSISTENT.
Meanwhile Senator Sherman and Eall the
Ohio representatives called and asked for it,
Yesterday, in an interview with the Presi
dent, Senator Quay learned that Hart
would probably be appointed tomorrow.
He said nothing till to-day, when he told
the story to his friends, winding up with
the declaration quoted at the beginning OF
this dispatch. Senator Sherman had moth
ing to say for publication tonight, except
TO deny Senator Quay's charge. Privately
he said, that Senator Quay seemed very hot
and that it was very foolish and unneces-
sary He had acted with propriety, had
violated no understanding, and had broken
no pledges.
