QUAY AND UNQUIET
THE SENATOR MAKES A VERY
BOLD DASH TO WIN.
TWO STATE COMMITTEES
And There May Be Two Republican
Tickets In Pennsylvania The
Anti-Quayists Seem Confident and
Serene The Convention Likely TO
BE Redhot.

Harrisburg, Pa. Aug. ~ Senator
Quay and his followers made a bold
dash yesterday in the fight for re-
publican supremacy in this state by
taking possession of the state commit
tee and deposing b. #. Gilkes0n from
the Craftsmanship. The object of do
ing this was to place themselves in a
position to prepare roll Of delegates
to Wednesdays convention so they
might appear before that body with
move may have cannot be foretold,
and the next move of the Hastings
people is looked for with great inter-
est. The situation last night was iu-
tensely exciting and altogether un-
certain, Both factions are claiming
the victory, but ii must be admitted
that these who are opposing the as
pirations Of Senator Quay are the
most serene and confident. AS the
delegates arrive they are confronted
for the first time in the history Of
the republican party in this state by
dual headquarters of the state COM
mittee. One of these is at the Com
monwealth hotel, and Is in charge of
Secretary Gilkeson, the other is at
the Lochiel hotel, which had been en-
gagged by Gilkeson but when he came
he found that Quay's followers had
captured the room and placed j Il.
Rex, of Huntington, another secretary
of the state committee, III charge.
Seventy-three of the 121 members Of
the state committee attended the
Quay. A committee was appointed to
wait upon Chairman GiIkeson and no
tify him that the committee had con.
vened and a majority Of its members
was present and desired him to pre-
side over the deliberations. Mr.. Gill
keson replied to this committee that
he had not called the state committee
together and had no business to lay
before 1t. When the subcommittee
reported another committee was APP
pointed and authorized to make up a
roll of the delegates to the state con-
vention.
At anti-Quay headquarters last
might David Martin, G. L. Magee 4 ld
other leaders discussed THE situation,
all expressing in the most confident
manner possible their belief that they
bad won their fight. Chairman Gi1kc-
son declined to give out figures. but
Mr.. Martin said he knows 160 dele
gates win vote against Quay for state
chairman. This is Is more than the
number necessary to win. Quay reit-
! crates his previous declala ton that he
has not less than 100 delegates.
1t win probably not be known until
tonight when both sides caucus,
whether there will be two conven-
tions. Many knowing ones profess to
believe that the Quayites, failing to
get control of the temporary organi-
zation Wednesday. will bolt and hold
an independent convention. In this
event there may he two republican
tickets in The field this fall.

though constant payments had been
made by him TO the number OF ten or
twelve, s,sadng 1894 and 1895 the
copyright receipts amounting to over
$4,000 besides the 500, 400 now de-
posted, He emphatically denied any
allegation that the recent payment

New York. August ga new and
particularly interesting twist to the
Gould Nicholaus case is about TO take
place. Lawyer Alexander Simpson,
Zella's counsel, said that he intends
either to amend the declaration In The
present case so as to include a charge
of assault against George Gould, or to
bring another suit ON that charge. The
assault in question is alleged by Law
yer Simpson to have taken place in
the early part of 1893 before Miss
Nicholaus departed so suddenly for
Europe in company with Al Reuhman.
Mr.. Simpson declined to state the ex-
act time or place of the assault.
The lawyer notified Lawyer Linda
bury, Mr.. Gould's attorney Of record
in New Jersey. that he would serve
the papes in the new suit as soon as
he had finished consulting the law on
the subject. Whether or not Mr..
Gould will be arrested on the new
charge on his arrival in this city from
Europe LAWYER Simpson declined to
state definitely. Mr.. Gould is on the
Paris now on his way TO New York.
This last move on the part of the fair
Zella has had the effect of agitating
the lawyers for the defense consid-
erably.
