/
counties in Western Pennsylvania viii
come to Pittsburg tomorrow to confer with
United States Senator Quay, who will be in
the city at that time.
The Senator will arrive in Pittsburg either
this evening or tomorrow morning. Hi.
most intimate friends and political lieuten.
ants in the city have no definite in.
formation as to the exact time of his
arrival 1t Is expected that he will arrive
from Washington at his Beaver home to-
day and will come to Pittsburg from there.
The Republican chairmen have been notified
OF his coming and all of them have been
requested to meet him here. The Senator
has arranged for rooms at the Hotel
Duquesne where he will open his head
F! quarters and will receive his constituents
for one day only. Colonel Glenn, who is a
candidate for Secretary of the State Com
mittee, is already in Pittsburg.
There is considerable speculation among
the Republicans as to what political bust
ness Mr.. Quay will have with the district
leaders throughout the State, but it is gen.
orally admitted that his effort at this time is
to arrange for the election of Quay men,
bers of the next Legislature.
DalzelI Makes Some Claims
There is yet considerable doubt about the
action of the members of the Legislature
even in those counties where Senator
Quay carried the popular vote. The
Dalzell people claim that in nearly
every county where, Quay carried
the popular vote the Dalzell candidates for
10 T,nniS Slofn hou -n1o od nil
be elected This claim by the Dalzell peo-
pie has not been publicly made, but it has
been circulated to an extent, and has finally
reached the Quay lieutenants and has set
them to thinking and investigating, and
this, it is claimed, has prompted Senator
Quay in coming to Pittsburg, and has also
Influenced him in sending for the various
county chairmen to meet him here.
Among some of the Pittsburg Repub-
licans it is believed that Quay's visit is to
feel the Republican pulse on the contem-
plated anti-Harrison movement, but the
Senatorial question is generally believed to
be the most important one to the Senator.
1t is also argued that the Senator would not
come to Pittsburg to consult with the Re-
publican leaders on national politics, as all
the national delegates from this end of the
State have within ten days been to WASH
ington and have talked with Quay and other
RepuDllcan leaders while there.
Still Talking for Blaine.
William Witherow, one of the Allegheny
delegates to the National Convention, who
has just returned from visit to the East
has declared himself for Blaine ana he SAYS
that all the anti Harrison Republicans in
the East are confirmed in the belief that
Mr. Blaine will be nominated and will ac-
cept the nomination. Mr.. Witherow's
declaration upon his returning from the
East is claimed by local Republicans to in
dictate that Senator Quay is not coming to
Pittsburg to discuss national politics and
that his visit at this time is purely personal
and is strictly in his own interest.
The Blaine Republicans in Pittsburg do
not take kindly to Senator Quay's recent
admiration for the Secretary One of them
said Yesterday: sMr Blaine cannot be in
duced to look with any favor upon Senator
Quay's flirtations with him now. When
Secretary Blaine was ambitious to be the
candidate for the President Senator Quay
was against him, and he knows that Senator
Quay is only for him now to get revenge on
President Harrison. Senator Quay could
get nothing more from Blaine if he should |
be elected President that he could from
President Harrison should he be re-
elected"
Contest for Democratic County Chairman. |
The local Democracy are considerably |
stirred up Just now over the prospective |
fight for Chairman of the County Commit |
tee. 1t was announced yesterday that |
Squire Cornelius O'Donnell had positively |

desired.
Chairman Bremen said last night that he
had heard of O'DonnelPs candidacy, but
that he would continue in the fight to the
end and would land winner Mr. Bren-
mems friends have been thoroughly aroused
by the report of the fight proposed on him
and they are in earnest in having him win
his fight.
