HARRISBURG, Pa.-June S.-Quay
and QuayiSm have got to go in the old
Keystone commonwealth this year: if
not at the Republican state convention,
then at the polls, in much the same
manner as the machine was defeated in
the memorable campaign of 1882. The
campaign now going on in Republican
circles for the nomination for governor
is the most virulent in the history of
the state. and reminds Minnesota OBJ
server of the Gilman-Gibbs-M -McGill con-
test of 1886. There are three real
candidates for the Republican NOM
ination in Pennsylvania this year. all
very much in earnest, and all
ready and willing to serve Boss
Quay if he would give them half
chance. They are: Adjt. Gen. d. Fl.
Hastings, of Bellefonte; Senator Della
mater. of Crawford county, and Secre-
tary of State Charles w. Stone, of the
northern portion of the state. Outside
of these are Maj. Montooth, of Pitts
burg; Congressman Osborne, of Wilkes
barre, and several other local favorites

The Silent Fisherman
from Beaver is most conspicuous des-
pot, and he will have neither Hastings,
Stone, Montooth, nor Osborne, as the
Republican standard bearer this year.
He has chosen Senator Delamater for
the honor, and Delamater he will insist
shall be nominated. While the other
fellows are still whistling hard to keep
up their courage, the Crawford county
statesman is now as good as nominated.
for he has nearly as many dele
gates chosen and instructed for
him now as have all the
other candidates punched together,
and he Will more than hold his own in
the counties that have not yet chosen
their delegates to the state convention.
Delamater can be elected if he is nom
mated? l shall answer this question by
quoting an interview | had with Hon.
John E. Fox. a prominent Republican
politician of this city, yesterday:
"Personally am for Mr.. Delamater,"
said Mr.. Fox, ''and our delegates will
be for him in the convention, but l very
much doubt whether his nomination
will be wise one. There is unques-
tionably strong feeling against him in
many parts of the state, and | am afraid
his nomination would mean defeat.
Still. Quay insists that the man nomi-
mated by the Republicans of PennsYlva-
MIA this year will be elected, and you
will have to admit that he is
A Pretty Good Politician.
II would liketo see Delanater elected
governor, but above and beyond that l
want Republican success in this state,
and l am fearful of the results if Quay
carries his point in the coming con-
vention and Senator Delamater,is is made
the standard bearer of the party" The
this year, and the general depression,
which exists in every line of business,
will help the honorable element in the
dominant political party of the state to
throw Off the calling chains in which
the junior United States senator has
bound them hand and foot in the last
six years. From all parts of the state
comes the cry that "Quay must be
dOWned," and. were it not for the bump
of self-conceit of Quay, and his belief
that money can win when all else fails,
he would certainly feel that his career
as boss is about over. The charges
made against him by the leading papers
of the country short time ago have
produced great impression on the peo-
pie of the state. The old-line Republi-
cans of the state are disgusted and ap-
palled at the record of a man they
helped send to the senate, and they are
up in arms. 1.-The Independents of 'S2
paign of '90," remarked venerable
Republican of Carlisle a day or two ago,
when
The State Contest
was being talked over. "The machine,"
he continued, ''seems to think that it is
all-powerful, but the leaders will find
county Cumberland to be represented
in the Harrisburg convention by Della
mater delegates, while the Republicans
of the county are opposed to him by
large majority. The county committee
is Quay body, and that fact expresses
the bias of the delegates chosen" But
is Quay entitled to the credit he has
generally been given for the election Of
Harrison in 1888? The anti-Quay lead
ers around Harrisburg declare that he
is not, and then tell the following story.
which, by the way, is said to have come
from man who was with the great
boss III position of trust and conf
dence through the Harrison-Cleveland
contest: ''In the campaign Of 1858, in
New York state," runs the story, "Quay
threw all his money, and big pile it
was, too, into the lower wards of
New York city with the idea
of reducing Cleveland's majority there
to such an extent that Harrison would
carry the state. But early in the even
ing of election day those wards showed
up stronger than ever for Cleveland,
and Quay was ready to close up his
shop and go home, at that time virtually
conceding that Harrison had
Lost New York.
"The Republican gains in Brooklyn he
had nothing to do with, and from the
very beginning he had neglected the
country districts" This is the story on
which the claim is based that Quay's
fame as q national leader is purely re-
suit of accident, and some one else's la
bors. Andrew Curtin Quay, the SON
of the senator, will probably be men,
Der of the next legislature of Pennsyl-
vania, but in the fight which ended in
his nomination number of interesting
facts were developed. The senator's
own county of Beaver was the battle
ground selected, and armed with plenty
of cash, young Quay entered the field
for the legislative nomination. 1t was
soon evident that unless something was
done the junior member of the Quay
family would be defeated in his fathers
own stronghold, where at least one or
two of the banks of the town are held
