TIE ATTEMPTED BRIBERY.
Believed 20 Have Been 0uay's Precau-
tion-Factional bitterness.

BtlteNf0 TO AAANe been quay HNNNAu~
tion-Factional bitterness.
A Washington special despatch to the
Philadelphia Times last evening says
Charles r. McFee, private secretary
to Senator Gray, returned to-day from
Dover, where he has been spending a few
DAYS pending the vote on the Senatorship.
He says that he met the leaders in the
contest and was in a position to know
what was going on, and he was quite
sure that none of the prominent
men on the Democratic side were impli-
Gated in any attempt to buy Republican
votes. He thinks that the story must
| have originated from scheme which was
charged during the campaign that two of
/ the Kent Republican candidates were
nominated with the understanding that
they would vote for Salisbury if he
could secure the united strength of the
| Democratic members Of the Legislature.
It was very evident when the election
was over that the feeling between
| the supporters Of Senator Salisbury and
Mr. Wolcott were so embittered by the
campaign that Mr. Salisbury could not
secure the solid vote, nor could it be
transferred TO any one else, so that il
was simply three cornered fight, with tive
of the Democratic corners dividing tn,
Democrats and the one Republican united
on the Republican candidate This Mr.
McFee thinks may have led to the story
but he does not say that even this wa
done.
Private Secretary Leach returned to
night and reported the result Of his visi
to Dover to Senator Quay. He has name
and information which it is claimed vii
sustain the alleged attempt of certai
Democrats to bring over two Republican
by improper means. The action ON tn
2 part Of Senator Quay was largely of pre-
! eautionsry nature. In all the dispute
districts for Representatives he had hi
men watching the progress Of events
and he did not propose to take an
chances on the Delaware SenatorshiI
r He Is also kept advised Of the progress @
! matters at Charlestown. w. Va, Will
General Gotf is making his fight in hi
own way.
