garded rs very Significant in &yiewtof,
the iaet that Senator Rdtan and i Chris
topher L. AIagee, atho recognized Tauti-t
Quay leader, have been close iriends,
aud that the relationship|between Soma (
TOR quay and Senator Rutan, which In 4
tue past was OF tho closest kind !! has for
lew years past been &veryf strained. i
Among tho local politicians here II is in &
terpreted Rto mean that Senator Qlay
has got under Magee in Allegheny coun-s
W, and that the famed western county.
which has for years recognized no other
leader than Magce, has been q captured
ey the Quay forces, in whose ranks, 1t il I
SAID many Of the former closest followers
Of Nagee can be found. ;5lsss1
53 CAN'T UNDERSTAND lIT. s}f;llSi9 Is
William Finn, the well known. con- on /
tractor, Of Pittsburgh, Who was hanid.in- I
glove with Mr.. Magee for years, is re- /
ported to have Topped, and started out !
to secure for himself and friends the con- Z
troll OF the Pittsburgh Councils, (which
for years have been dominated by tho
friends and followers OF iMagee, and the .
story goes that in his efforts to accom- .
plish his purpose Finn will have the
undivided supportof tho Quay following
in Pittsburgh. Others claim that the
friends Of Nlageo are simply playing a !
waiting game, and that when the proper /
time arrives for a show of hands,
Allegheny leader will have things pretty
much las he desires What has given .
rise to the belief that Quayswill capture 4
the county is the declaration made bys
Senator 8 Rutau, in $his Il interview M 4
quoted in preceding paragraph. if5$ q.
W United States Senator Quay will loave Z
Washington y fort South Florida on next
Sunday, where ho says be will remain 4
until the e$near approach Of the Republic
can State Convention, when she will,beS &
on hand to. witness tho selection of the
Republican. candidates whose names 1re
to grace the State ticket at the fall elec-S
ton. There are fewt of the local leaders
who profess to understand what! Quay !
means by taking himself to. the woods
this early in the game.f Some oflthemSi
declare that the willy Senator already
has well laid his plans, and that he re-
tires with the belief that his wishes, as
understood, aail Rscarried out; .t#sj,Ss$S33
PULLING ALE OF THEM s53 5
What bothers most Of them is the in.
ability to find out Just exactly what the
plans Of the junior Senator; are. ii While
some believe that the State is already
'set up,R many others arc OF the opinion
that he wants to see the candidates for y
the nomination fight it out all along the 4
line without interference, and that when
each has developed his utmost. strength, IL
the one, having the strongest following
is to be accorded the strength of his fei- /
lows, in order to. prevent any row:which5
might occur by reason Snf !, there 9havingG
been any active interference in favor OF I
any one particular candidate.
EAIl the candidates9who3 I have Sao Z far
announced themselves have! declared n
kindly feeling for the junior Senator,
and for that reason the belief is growing
that; while he, has a preference, heiwiii
not lend his influence to have the nomi-f
nation Of the man he prefers to see nomi-f
mated brought about. /. ,sl I.
While the belief grows daily, that sena-
tor Quay will mot interfere between tho
candidates :forE the. nomination; yet it is
pointed StoTby# manyE of; 4 the shrewd
guessers and ,watchful politicians that
nearly! all I Of Quay'sE lieutenants arc
earnest and hard ntiworki to secure the 8
election OF delegates to the State Con-
yention who will support Tor G Governor, \
State Senator George Wallace Delamater, /
OF Crawford county. q
