ALGER AND QUAY.
The Two Hold . Long Couference Today
Rumor rs to What VIII Follow.

The Two Hold . Long Conference Today
Rumor as to What VIII Follow.
Gen. Russell A. Alger is in the city. There
is nothing extraordinary in that fact. for Gen
Alger has been here before and he will proba.
bly, come here again. But especial interest at
taches to his presence here at this time.
He came, il Is said, to confer with
Michigan republicans as to how the best laid
plans OF Michigan democrats may be brought
to naught. 1t seems that the democrats are
endeavoring to bring about a program which
will allow the presidential electors in
Michigan to be elected in the congressional
districts instead Of by the state at large
II elected by the state the electors
would be surely republican, but IL chosen
by the voters Of the demoeratically
gerrymandered districts about six or seven
OF them would be democrats. With Gen.
Alger came Henry NJ. Dufield of Detroit. He,
too, Is bent on republican success Senator
Mcmillan Is chairman Of the republican state
central committee and he it was who appointed
Gen. Alger and Mr. Dufield committee to
make democrats unhappy.
ALaER AND QUAY CONFER.
This morning Gen. Alger called on Senator
Mcmillan at the Senate, and it was after they
had exchanged greetings and the Senator had
returned to the Senate chamber that the pro-
ceedings commenced to become interesting.
Senator Quay became aware Of the fact that
Gen. Alger was In the building and in little
while he had located him.
Then followed a somewhat lengthy confer
ence, broken once or twice by Senators who
called to shake hands with the Michigan vet
eran, two Of the visitors being Messrs. Mitchell
and Sawyer. None of these callers remained
for mere than o minute. so thatsMr. Quay's
was but slightly interrupted.
RUMoREp RESOLUTION.
Just what was said only two men know, but
in a little while after the conference adjourned
it was whispered around that Senator Quay
would, at an early date, offer resolution call
ing upon the Senate to investigate the extent
to which the administration, through its ap-
pointees, had interfered with the flow OF repub-
lican politics in Pennsylvania
The rumor itself is most audacious one but
there is reason for believing it to be founded
on solid and enduring fact The resolution is
to DO referred to the committee to examine the
several branches Of the civil service an or
ganization presided over by Senator Wolcott,
and Senator Wolcott is not Harrison man.
few OF the knowing ones are satisfied that
Senator Quay will in a little while come out
openly for Alger. 1t will be remembered that
Gen. Alger stood firmly by Senator QUAY at a
time when the Pennsylvania seemed to be in
need of friends.
WHAT MR.. DUFFIELD WANTS.
There is a general understanding among
those who are acquainted with the way of the
Office seeker that Mr.. Dufield would really like
to be solicitor general.

local questions" He promised to labor for the
protection Of American industries. for honest
