she situation has changed nightly, those
who are best posted claim that he will deal
with Mr.. Magee as his only hope. If this
be so, then Mr.. Cameron's friends in the
Legislature will stand by the Pittsburg

strength in the State Some verv interest

now and the election day.
Senator Quay, while here to-day, will
meet the County Chairmen in the western
part of the State, whom he has called in.
