Looks Bad For Quay.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, July s.
The Ledger independent Republic
CAM yesterday says: Based on a
canvass of every county in the
state, an estimate is made that in
the contest for the control Of the
Republican state convention on
August %, Governor Hastings and
friends have las delegates and
Senator Quay and followers lis
delegates. Sixteen delegates are
classed as doubtful. Philadelphia
is thought likely to have 50 Has
tings delegates and six Quay dele
gates, nine being doubtful.
While the above estimate may
not be absolutely accurate it is be-
lieved that it shows the relative
strength of both factions up to the
present time and that the figures
cannot be successfully questioned
to an extent that would change
the result. 1t will be seen that
Governor Hastings and his friends
have just a majority of the state
convention and II they can hold
these they will have absolute con-
troll of that body. Conceding to
Senator Quay's friends the sixteen
doubtful delegates and eleven dele
gates from counties not heard from,
they will have LA delegates, only
one less than a majority.
The faction controlling the con-
vention will elect state chairman
and thus control the party organ
ization in Pennsylvania.

the government not to grant am
nesty to certain political and other
offenders on the occasion OF the
