GOV. HASTINGS IN TOWN.
RErIcENr ABOUT HIS RECENT POLITICAL
FIGHT
PENNsYLvANIANs DISCUSS THE EFFECT OF
ouArs VICTORY ON THE rREsrpEN.

Governor Daniel II. Hastings OF Pennsylvania
was at the Holland House yesterday. A. everybody
knows. Governor Hastings has Just had big poiti-
cal fight his hands. and lost r. II. ia said AT
one time 10 have had Presidential aspirations but
Il Is generally conceded that his recent defeat has
ended all that
When card was sent TO his room he sent back
word that he had nothing to say for publication
Later IN reply TO an inquiry. he said that the
ticket nominated at the convention held In Harris
burg would be supported solialy DESPITE the fac
tlonal fight previous to the convention Thi. was
hardly news however. as Senator Quay allowed the
judicial candidates named 10y the combination which
was hsntns him to go through. and naturally they
will support the men of their choice
There we're a number OF PENNSYLVANIA politicians
In the city yesterday Many OF them had been 10
Boston TO the Knight Templar concave The con-
sensus OF opinion seemed to be that Senator Quay
victory was what the State wanted. The gossip is
that this victory places beyond the hope OF recall all
the delegates Of Pennsylvania far ex-Presi-
dent Harrisc- is concerned. One Pittsburg man
went back into ancient history and recalled some
interesting dates in reference to the fight He re-
ferred 20 the fact that Christopher Ma Gee Of Pitts
burg. one OF the combine who supported Gov.
eTnor Hastings IN the losing fight helped secure
the nomination OF ex-President Harrison in 1892
Mr. Quay. while he supported the ticket was not
satisfied with the nomination. The speaker said
that Mr.. Quay's desire to have Harrison discarded
as possible candidate next year was known TO
Mr. Magee and others IN the State. and that was
one OF the reasons that the issue was forced for
the State control. 1t is said TO have been the de-
sire OF Mr. Magee and his partners to throw the
Pennsylvania State delegation to Mr. Harrison In
the next National Convention OF the Republican
party. This seems out OF the question now and
Mr. Quays victory was looked upon by the Penn
syvanta men a good thing for Mr. Reeds
chances One man said:
"Mr Quay get the Craftsmanship of the Ma
tonal Committee next year IL he wants 1t. Con-
gresham William stones speech in the Pennsyl-
vana convention nominating him for State chair
man was practically announcement of the fact
that he was after that place. It may be expected
that Senator Quay VII shy his castor into the ring
at almost any time now. and announce himself as
6 candidate for that place. such is his method Of
procedure when he goes after a thing His getting
that position will not re at all inspiring TO Mr.. Har-
-ison or his friends. especially Senator Quay
should form an alliance with James s Clarkson. OF
Iowa, who favors Senator Allison: Samuel Fessen-
den. OF Connecticut. and other leauers over the
country who think that they did not get enough out
OF the election Of General Harrison the Nations
chef executive. That will doubtless be the pro-
gramme. and II Mr.. Quay goes after the National
cha.rmarship 1t means the deathknel of Mr. Har-
T;sons chances"
