Especial to THE HERAID-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YoRk, April ia Sun special
from Philadelphia says Thore will be no
reconciliation between Senator Quay and
President Harrison, and as a result Mr..
Harrison may eventually not be a candi-
date for denomination. A few days ago
Congressmen Bingham, O'Neill and Rey-
burn, accompanied by Postmaster General
Wanamaker, called upon the President to
urge him to forget the past and to receive
Quay. This was with the idea that the
Pennsylvania Republican convention, to be
held on April 20, would declare for Harri-
son, ssand to assure him of sixty-four dele
gates from this state to Minneapolis. The
surprise OF the delegation was great when
the President turned to Mr.. Wanamaker
and said: "Ihe less you have to do with
Mr.. Quay the better Twill be for yourself.
He is not ut man to associate with THE
Presldent SAID he was not so certain about
accepting denomination, unless he was
assured that the party was harmonious,
and that 1t would stand together on all &C.
caslons. he said he saw here and there
evidences OF dissatisfaction, and that
he proposed to stand aside rather
than to place himself in the
power of Mr.. Quay and some other
men who had attempted to dictate the
terms Tor denomination. The President
told the Congressman that he would not
place the patronage of Pennsylvania in
Quay's hands, because the men Quay had
recommended to him were no better than
himself and were not fit to hold office. The
President said that if it depended upon
Quay whether he should get the Pennsyl.
wanna delegation, then he would not get it.
Mr. Wanamaker spoke in his most per-
suasive manner, but it was Of no avail, and
the President warned the postmaster-gen
eral TO keep away from Quay. Gentlemen
who we're present at the interview with
President Harrison say that unless Quay
Platt, Clarkson and the rest are solid fol-
him, Mr.. Harrison will decline the nomi-
nation. Up to this time Quay has refused
to tell his most intimate friends who is hi!

China to receive him as minister.
Blair says the Chinese minister several
times expressed regret at his rejection and
q strong desire that the government would
request him to secure from his government
an interchange of friendly explanations
which would set the matter right. Blair
thinks an investigation would disclose a
detestible conspiracy; that his rejection
was secured through false representations
from the Chinese legation during the alb
sence Of the minister and by other false
and dishonorable means. He says he is in
possession of facts proving the difficulty tc
be the rivalry of business interests, the ma
ture of which should be ascerteined by the
government, whose friendly relations have
been impaired if not endangered.
