HE MADE 4 QUIET CANrSsS OF TH1
STA TIE IN FIVOR OF IA71IsOM.


Two Leaders that May Place Penwsys-
vsais IN the Doubtfai Column In 1eeA
PrTTsBuRoH. Nov l6.-Those who think Mr..
O. l.. Magoe's work In tho late State campaign
was confined to this city and county are wide
o, the mark. Mr.. Magee's tight was against
Quay. and was extended all over tho State.
Tho flEht was made because Magee claims
that Quay acted In bad faith with him, and
violated his word OF honor several years ago.
Tho promise violated was that II Chris Magee
would induce his friends In the Legislature OF
1887 to vote for Quay for the United States
Senate. Quay would take his hands of State
politics. and leave the entire control Of the
Legislature to Magee. This Quay did not do.
Instead he carried his own power into this
city and county against Magee after the quar-
rel over the Craftsmanship OF the Republican
National Committee at Chicago.
In this State campaign. before Magec openly
exhibited his knife. he had made canvass OF
the State by counties. Influential indepsnd.
ents from the western counties were first con.
ferred with. Prominent among those were
the Hon. 8. B. Dick Of Meadville. ex-Coneress-
man Sam Miller OF Mercer. and Lew Emery OF
Bradford. who made the famous *. Y. Zs
charges. These Republicans were asked how
many Republican votes could be turned to
Patttson In their counties. and their reports
were favorable. Others wore then called in to
gtvo their estimates OF tho detection that could
be worked up II all necessary legitimate sx-
penses were provided for. Mr.. Mages then
went east. ostensiby to New York and Atlantic
city. Really he travslly all over central and
eastern Pennsylvania incoe., conferring with
leading boilers In every county. Tho estimate
given him assured the defeat Of Quay's candi-
date, Delamater. and Mr. Mases then opened
his long purse and began paying the lsgiti.

publican vote.
Tho Democratic State Committee never had
much money and could not help the Independ-
ent Republicans. Emery paid his own ex-
penses and fought hard. He hrst tried TO de-
feat Delamater and Quay in the Nominating
Convention. but failing In that cooperated
with Magee and Dick in the cam psien to slsct
the Democratic nominee. 8. B. Dick also paid
most OF his own expenses in the Crawford
county campaign. He and Emery employed
four Pinkerton detectives in Crawford county
to look up Candidate Deamaters record and
prevent the use OF money In that county By
