DelZsn and Bayne Working TO Wrest
IL from Cameron.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Repressntative
Delzeil and Representative Bayne are very
anxious 70 control the patronage of West
ern Pennsylvania. Representative Dali
Eelrs head is little more turned than it
would be by the fact that the President
appointed his friend, Judge AcbesOn, cir
cult judge. He is hopeful now that the
President will appoint his friend, Judge
Reed, district judge. He thinks the Presi-
dents arrangement from the Pennsylvania
senators, especially Senator Cameron,
opens up to him a fine opportunity for be-
coming the boss Of Western Pennsylvania.
He IS willing that Representative Bayne
should oe assistant boss at that baihwick.
WORKING HARRISON.
When Representative Dalzell heard this
afternoon that Senator Cameron had voted
to lay aside cloture and take up the re-
apportionment bill, be thought he saw
chance TO improve the occasion to his
advantage with the President. So he drew
up paper denouncing Senator Cameron as
unfit to represent the republican state of
Pennsylvania in the United States Senate,
cited as evidence his vote Of to-day and
his vote for free coinage. 1t was acti-
cally an imprOptu invitation Co Senator
Cameron to send his resignation to Gev.
Pattison and retire to private life, where he
would have neither the temptation nor
opportunity to "ally himself with rebels"
COULDN'T MAKE 1T WORK.
Representative Dalzelrs purpose was to
get all the republicans in the Pennsylvania
delegation in the House to sign this extra
ordinary rroductlol and then publish it,
claiming at the white house credit for get
ting it up. But Representative Bayne was
Of ba al finfa
whom Representative DaIzell could get to
sign it. Some of the others wanted to sign
1t, apparently, but dared not. They talked
very loudly about Senator Cameron's
TREASON" but they did not want
to put their autographs to Repre-
sentative Dalzell's diatribe. So Repre-
sentative Dalzell finally gave up
that effort, and as Representative BayDe
and he did not care 10 publish the pro-
nouncement with only their own autograp hs
upon it, they decided to convert it into an
interview" with Representative Dalzell,
and which should be given exclusively to
the Philadelphia Press to reward it for its
opposition to Senator Cameroa's reelection.
This viii probably serve Representative
DalzelVs purpose with the President quite as
well.
QUAY's VIEWS.
When Senator Quay was asked about
Senator Cameron's action, he said that
doubtless Senator Cameron could Justify it.
The reapportionment bill was necessary and
important, and added to the republican
strength in congress and In the electoral
college. Senator Quay also ven ured the
opinion that when the cloture rule and the
force bill were brought forward again they
would have fewer votes than they had in
the Senate to-day.
HARMER STANDS BY CAMERON. -.
Although the other republican msmbers
OF TIE Pennsylvania delegation would not
sign the paper which Representatives Dal-
zell and Bayne had prepared, they all talk
about Senator Cameron in much the same
way, with the exception of Representative
Harmer, who conmends Senator Cameron's
course heartily and believes the people of
Pennsylvania will justify it, whatever the
politicians here or at Harrisburg may do
lie must be excepted from the scathing re-
marks of Representative Dalzelrs paper
that, "The delegation from Pennsylvania
in the House of Representatives hung heir
head' in shame when they heard how Penn-
sylviana had been disgraced in the Senate
this afternoon
ALL OUT IN INTERVIEWS.
Almost all the other republican members
are out ii interviews tonight. All are
more OF less warmly condemning Senator
Cameron's course. So far as appears, Repre-
sentative Scranton of Scranton was the
OHly Vno VINO reprOacneu % dOOr cameron
to his face. After the news had gotten to
the House, Representative Scranton said he
didn't believe it, and would g to the Senate
to see for himself. So he went over, and
met Senator Cameron, and he was assured
by him that it was true. "Well," Repre-
sentative Scranton is reported to have said,
''you have made - of
biunder."
"No, / haven't. Jos," Senator
Cameron is reported to have replied.
''this is my business. l know what am
about. Pll come out all right" Repre-
sentative Dalzell and his friends will proba-
bly, have a resolution at Harrisburg censur
ing Senator Cameron and perhaps asking
him to resign. Farmer Taggart is, it is
said. to offer it,
