Special to the Scranton Tribune
Harrisburg. May 5.-Senator Penrose
Is making his fight to pass the resou-
| tion to Investigate the municipal work
tngs Of Philadelphia with the greatest
| array of political talent against him
| any body of men have ever had to COM
bat with. In the east Martin and Por-
ter are lined up. At the state capital
are Governor Hastings and his cabinet.
In the west Chris Magee and Senator
Film are with the opposition.
Senator Quay grows more suspicious
of men as he ages" said a member of
Governor Hastings cabinet today.
''Penrose and Durham have his ear and
he believes them to be his friends and
trusts them above all others. Great
pressure is being brought to bear upon
Colonel Quay to call off his friend Pen
rose and stop the proposed LeXow of
Philadelphia. Within forty eight hours
after the introduction of the young
Philadelphian's resolution, Lieutenant
Governor Lyon was at the national
capital In consultation with Quay The
sole purpose of the lieutenant govern
or's errand was to try to persuade the
senators to have the resolution sleep in
committee.
Not Anxious, but willing.
Quay listened attentively to Lyon,
but gave him no encouragement. Then
eN-Postmaster Mexican, of Pittsburg,
close friend of Quay in the West. went
TO Washington to endeavor to enlist
the senator in effecting compromise
between the warning factions. The
Pittsburger could do no more with the
Beaver man than Lyon. Chris Magee
and Secretary of the Commonwealth
Reeder made a journey to the capital to
accomplish that which the others had
not been able to do and they failed
There is no doubt as to Senator Quay's
attitude in this matter. He prefers har-
mony to a quarrel, but if need be he
will fight to bring about that which his
friends, Penrose and Durham seek to
accomplish and which other friends are
striving to prevent.
LAS | figure this out Senator QUAY
will be stronger than ever in case of
victory, but should he be defeated he
will lose the power in state politics he
great political combinations arrayed
against Mr. Penrose and the fight OF
Penrose is the fight of Quay. In Phila-
delphia Dave Martin and Charley Por-
ter are in absolute control through
their connections with Mayor Warwick,
and will retain their hold on the party
machinery for the next four years, un-
less there should come a break between
them. Each day they are strengthens
ing their forces, and If Senator Penrose
is defeated in this fight the Quay people
will have little to say in the politics of
the metropolis of Pennsylvania.
The Harrisburg Combination.
Coming to Harrisburg the next anti
Penrose combination is found Here is
Governor Hastings and the many men
who hold office through his courtesy
For the most part this array of politi-
cal wirepullers would be lost to Quay
If Philadelphia is not LeXowed. There
are several prominent state officials
who will stand by Quay, but Governor
would undoubtedly give his |
support to Martin.
I'm the west Chris Magee Is daily be- |
coming stronger. He Is strongly OPP
