HARRISON REPULSEs QUAY.
A Declaration That He May Decline
to Be q Candidate.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-There will be no
reconciliation between Senator Quay and
President Harrison, and, as n result, Mr..
Harrison may eventually not he a candidate
for denomination. A few days ago Con-
gressmen Bingham, O'Neill, and Rev
burn, accompanied by Postmaster Gener-
al Wanamaker, called upon the President
to urge him to forget the past and to re-
ceive Quay. This was with the idea that
the Pennsylvania Republican Convention,
to be held on April 20, would declare for
four delegates from that STATE 't lS fiHie-
spolis.
The surprise of the delegation was
great when the President turned to Mr.
Wanamaker and said:
"The less you have to do with Mr..
Quay the better it will be for yourself .
He is not a ft man to associate with"
Then the President said that he WAS
not so certain about accepting the renom-
ination, unless he was assured that the
party was harmonious, and that it would
stand together on all Que stions.
He said he saw here and there evi
dences of dissatisfaction, and that he
preferred to stand aside rather than tc
place himself in the power of Mr.. Quay
and some other men who had attempted
to dictate terms for denomination. The
President told the Congressman that he
would not place the patronage of Penn
sylvsnia in Quay's hands. because the
men Quay had recommended to him were
no better than himself and were not fit te
hold Office. The President said that il
it depended upon Quay whether he
should get the Pennsylvania deleg CATION,
then he would not get it.
Mr.. Wanamaker talked in his most
persuasive manner, but it was of no avail,
and the Prcsi tent warned the Postmas
ter General to keep away from Quay.
When this was told the Senator II,
was angered. He immediately began tt
discuss with his fellow Senators th'
availability of Blaine rs a Presidential
candidate, and the boom in the intcrcs
of the Secretary last week is due t.
| Quay's work. The men who were pr, 8
eIit at the interview with President IIar
rison say that, unless Quay, Platt, Clark
son, and the rest arc solid for him, Mr.
Harrison will decline the nominate II
Up to this time Quay las refused to tel

such securities were deposited in reliable

Receipts were Of cor c taken for the
