no more determined adversary during
the late struggle than the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph. Although routed
the Telegraph was as defiant as ever
yesterday. and in its editorial columns
scored Quay savagely. This afternoon
The Telegraph has long story In its
news columns which declares that
yesterdays seeming harmony between
the two factions was more apparent
than real and that a truce and not
peace was patched up. Continuing

of affairs as a result of the conference

day morning, gave II as their opinion
that the so-called harmony that pre-
vailed throughout the proceedings of
the convention amounted to nothing.
ana that today there Is no more har-
mony in the party than there was on
Monday and Tuesday. They say that
nothing was gained beyond preventing
two conventions. which seemed ineyi-

would have happened had not an
agreement been reached between COM

Ihe fear expressed today was that
there VIII be trouble over a portion of

Tom Cooper's Opinion
EX-Collector Cooper, who took quite
a prominent part in behalf of Senator
quay for state chairman. very frankly
expressed himself today with reference
10 the Republican situation in Penn
sylVania. and in this city in particular.
lie said: 1T was only a truce. not a
treaty of peace. yesterday. A treaty
OF peace had not been signed The
convention was at an end and the truce
was over. The fight will be continued
until the combine has been eXterminat-
ed This opinion was shared by a
number of Others who We're active in
their support of Senator Quay.
1T was declared at Harrisburg by
men who are prominent in the Dur
ham-Penrose faction that a new Re-
publican city committee will be
formed, and that an anti-combine or
ganization will be effected in every
election division of the city. To this
are added ominous whisperings of
trouble for some of the members upon
the Republican city ticket. That Quay
will control the state delegation to the
next national convention there is no
doubt. That Quay will control the
next legislature and name the next
senator, and that he will be chairman
of the next national committee. are
also accepted as being highly probable.
David Martin, the present member of
the national committee. will unques-
tionably resign, and this may be ex-
pected at any time. Quay named him
for the place, and It Is not a secret
that he does not intend to show him
any more favors.
That Quay at present favors Nc
Kinley for president there are reasons
to believe but that he Is so far COM
mitted to him as to make an aggressive
fight for him is not taken for granted.
