PHILADELPHIA, June 14.-"Senator
Delamater will be nominated for Governor
beyond any question of doubt" said close
friend of Senator Qusy's to-day. "What-
ever feeling may have existed regarding his
availability has been swept aside by the
strong Endorsement presented in his behalf
from this city, where it was thought General
Hastings had the call in business circles. "
''The formation OF the Business Mems
Committee of One Hundred in favor of Gen
eral Hastings nomination" continued the
speaker, twas a boom for Center county's
candidate and somewhat of setback to the
Delamater forces. but for SO ne cause or
other the committee did but little work in
Hastings interest, and now, before the con-
vention has yet been held, we fud that the
Hastings headquarters have been closed
up"
SENATOR oUAY's POSITION.
Senator Quay" continued the speaker,
''is Republican who is for his party first,
and if he had but the slightest doubt of
Delamater's election, in spite of the warm
friendship existing between them, he would
turn in and help to defeat him
for the nomination. Garrett and Nc
Kee, the independent leaders have done
good work for the Republican cause by
making it known that Senator DeIamater's
nomination is asked for by the independent
Republicans of this city, who are more nu-
merous here than elsewhere. They have
virtually settled all doubt as to the outcome
of the State Convention"
E. K. Martin, of Lancaster, Senator
Watres, OF Lackawanna, and J. A. NJ. Pass
more, of this city, are the three declared
candidates for second place on the State
ticket, but as no formal action in PASSWORDS
behalf has been taken by the local dele
cation, he is not considered as seriously in
the race, although some of the outside
counties have instructed their delegates in |
his favor. Martin and Watres are both |
friends of Quay and Delamater, and the |
nomination of either would be acceptable to
the stalwart element of the party particu- |
larly.
A FORMIDABLE CANDIDATE.
Martin has a irst-class war record, which |
makes his candidacy formidable, while |
Watres is counted as much stronger than |
his party in the northwestern section of the |
State from which he halls. What both |
have to fear most in the talk which has de- |
veloped within the past few DAYS in favor of |
the nomination for Lieutenant Governor of
Major Montooth, of Allegheny county.
1t is announced here that Montooth is
willing to take second place and as Is Of the
16 delegates from his county are QUAY men
it can be readily seen that the Montooth
movement is a very strong one. Besides it
is argued that with an Allegheny man on
the State ticket there would be but little TO
fear from any opposing forces in the way of
. Republican majority from that county.
There will be a bitter contest at the Demo-
cratic State Convention for supremacy.
Already has there been some sharp and
bitter feeling expressed bv the leaders of the
opposing forces. Claims and counter claims
are being made with such rapidity that the
average Democrat becomes more confused
regarding the final outcome as the dav TOR
the holding of the State Convention draws
nearer.
GATHERING IN THE DELEGATES.
William L. Scott, who is the real head of
the Pattison movement, has been keeping
very quiet lately, but under his Instructions
his lieutenants throughout the State are
gathering in the delegates wherever posi-
bic. The story has been started that ex-
Senator Wallace is opposed to Cleveland TOR
denomination in 1892, and the anti-WaIlace
forces are using it ior all it is worth in spite
of the denials of Wallace's friends. The
Wallace forces are apparently very conf
dent, and laugh at the published figures of
the opposition.
The Wallace people admit that if the
delegation were a unit in
favor of Mr.. Pattison that it would be a
somewhat difficult matter to de eat his NOM
ination, although Congressman Mutchler.
who is staunch Wallace man, declares
that the sentiment OF the stalwart Democ-
racy Of the State alone would suffice to de-
feat the nomination of the Ex-Governor.
The leaders of the Pattison forces in this
city insist that Wallace will get but IA del
egates from Philadelphia county, while ON
the other hand Patterson, McGowan
Josephs and Faunce, three of whom are dell
egates and who are battling for wallace's
declare that the chances favor
Wallace having majority of the delegates
from this city. From the conflicting claims
made it is evident that somebody is going to
be badly fooled
