,SenatorsQuay was in Pittstplrg yesterday. {
His visit lasted only few hours, but it,
was,long enoughsto keep,a myriad of poll
ticians from their Sunday worship in order
that they might confer with their leader.
The Junior Senator isn't beautiful; he
doesn't tell asgOod story or even entertain
his callers by singing a new song, but still
there seems to be something very attractive
!. about him to Western Pennsylvania's min
nature statesmen. They cluster around him

into the great presence, and when they

May Openly Declare forsFetterrnau.
Mr. Reed is known principally from.the
fact that he was defeated fort Judge in'his
district last fall, and that to heal his
wounded feelings he would liketo succeed
Judge Reed. He is nottl likely to- do SO, and
whatever hope he had of getting Senator
Quay's support would have been GispelIed
an hour or so later ift he had BEEN present
when TO a number of Z reporters thetSenator
stated positively;

When asked the meaning of the peculiara

smiled, winked the eve4 that doesn't winks

"Well, You see, it is said that whensi

whatever the Senator said was lost in the
noise. 1t would undoubtedly have been in j
teresting, but was too painful a subject to Il
again be referred to. The Plumed Knight
was more pleasant,tOpic so the Senator
was asked if he still believed Mr.. Blaine Il
would accept Presidential nomination.

but 1t would be difficult to knock out Har-
rison as second choice.
':Do YOU expect to succeed yourself in |
the United States Senate 2"
II am not a candidate" answered Mr.. !
Quay, using his stereotyped reply. 'The |
only men in the field are Dalzeil and Rob- |
inson, with Robinson in the lead" !
''Do you think Mr.. Robinson is a candi- |
date in fact or only making bluff?'
Not Much Afraid of Robinson.

smile that didn't indicate that he was very |
much afraid of "Chester Jack" as a rival. |
''The last time L saw Mr.. Robinson neither |
of us mentioned the Senatorship.'
"When do you expect to announce your |
selfo''
The only reply was, II am not candi-
date"
''Who do YOU think will be appointed |
Revenue Collector of this district?''
az don't know. If the President does |
not appoint MI. Graham he will undoubted- |

people of Western Pennsylvania. Mr.. |
Graham has the hest recommendations of |

however, to tell who will be appointed "a
When asked about the statement of Con- |
gressman Shively that the appropriation of |
$4,000 for surveying the Erie Canal would |
hardly pass the Democratic House, Mr.. |
QUAY replied:
Il think Mr.. Shively did not understand |
the situation. He probably thought the |
appropriation was for the construction of
the canal. 1t is only for the survey, and is |
a very small amount compared with other |
appropriations. L have little fear that it |

''Do YOU think his selection will swing
West Virginia into Republican line?''
'The appointment OF one man will not
change the politics of any State. West
Virginia may be Republican at the next
election, but it can only be counted as
doubtful now.'

night on the Baltimore and Ohio to be pres
