NEEDS NO PLAcATIoN.
Quay andthe Administration Are on
Good Terms-He Says Pattison
VIII Be a Senatorial Candidate
Against Him.

JACKSONVILLE FLA, Sept. 26.-United
States Senator u. S. Quay passed through
here yesterday on his way North from ST.
Lucie. local newspaper man had the
temerity to ask him: Do you think any
effort will be made to placate you before the
November election ~
Il don't know Why there should be-" re-
piled the Senator. Il don't know that
there's any reason TO suppose that need
placating Ny relations with President Har-
rison have been cordial, as far as it was
necessary for them to be. When I've want
ed anything of him, I've always gone
straight to him for it, and we generally got
ten it. The newspapers have had good
deal to say about our strained relations, and
have charged open, personal hostility be
tween Us; but you know how that IS your
self and the Senator looked tired.
80 the existing relations between yon
and the Harrison administration are not
! likely to be changed at all in the next six
weeks, are they2'
Not that l know Of Pennsylvania's
electoral vote is sure for Harrison, isn't il?
I've nothing to ask of the administration
and l don't know what I've got 10 give it, if
it should ask for anything from me.
The talk drifting onto Pennsylvania poll
tics, Senator Quay said tina; there was
nothing new in the situation there that he
had been apprised of.
."Will you be candidate before the new
Legislature for re election to the United
States Senaie?r he was asked.
Il can't say" was the reply. Il may and
| may not should, ofcourse, like 10 see
Legislature elected favorable to my re cleo
ton. But in that event. even, l might not
become a candidate
Are the legislative nominees on the Re
publican ticket as general thing favorable
to you?7
Il think so-at least know Of nothing to
the contrary. But the Mugwumps and
Democrats have combined to defeat me.
Their candidate for United States Senator Is
Paitison, the present Governor"
'Do you think the combine will control
the next legislature?
Il can't tell thing about it. Politics are
very uncertain-especially Pennsylvania
politics"
. "Do you think any considerable number
Of Augwumps would support PAttison, a
Democrat, for the Senate ?"
"0h, he's a Mugwump himself-s Mug
wump Democrat. You know what that IS
Tie Senator laughed heartily when told
OF the opinion recently advanced by some
Northern newspapers that ne was down here
in Florida Juggling with the Florida cleo
toral vote"
Il don't believe" he said, that it can be
juggled with. guess you Democrats have
got II nailed down pretty close to the door,
haven't you. No politician Of either party
has visited me in FLORIDA. have had no
letters on the subject, and our cottage is
three miles from a telegraph Office. St.
Lueie would be hard place in which to
juggle with an electoral vote
Senator Quay read aloud from a newspa-
per the headlines Of a Washington special
noting the return OF Mrs. Harrison to the
White House, Poor woman he said, Il
am afraid she is going to die" There was
much feeing in his tone, and his sympathy
for the President was manifestly a genuine
one.
