They Will Endeavor to Have the EX-
President again Renominated.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The Sun says:
The friends of General Harrison in New
York and Pennsylvania are nctive. Gen
eral l.. L. Michener of indianapolis and
Washington, Senator Stephen b. Elkins
of West Virginia, and the Hon. Richard
c. kerens, the Repub blican National Com
mitteeman for Missouri, do not propose
to let Thomas G.. Plait OF New York, Mat
thew Stanly Quay OF Pennsylvania. Sam
Fessenden of Connecticut. General j. 5.
ClarkSon OF Iowa and anti -Harrisonites
defeat their man III the next Repu blican
National Convention without resistance.
The friends of General Harrison propose
to strike the first blow against Senator
Quay in Pennsylvania. Mr.. Quay de-
| teatod the Harrison folks in his fight for
control OF the Republican state Commit
tee two months ago. The anti-Quay folks
then nearly fell on the beaver siatesinan o. &
neck in their Mysteries of harmony. That
harmony" was OF the thinnest character.
1t did not deceive Senator Quay. His de-
| ieated factional adversaries returned to
their homes and started new movement
| 10 overthrow him and TO advance Harri-
sons chances i'll the keystone State.
The anti-Quay and pro- Harrison move
ment started the other men in Philadel-
phia at a private dinner which was at
tended by most of the members OF the
| now famous Hog Combine' which ar
rayed against Quay in his last fight of
two months ago. At this dinner were
| the Wanamakers, the Elkins and the
Dave Martins and all Of the big menu
| bers OF the Hog Combine" with the
exception of Governor Hastings.
he story goes, on the best of author
ity, that at this dinner 100000 was
pledged TO be used next year in Penn
sylvania in selecting delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention who will
oppose from the start any candidate for
the Presidency that Quay may offer All
of the Republicans at that dinner were
friends of General Harrison. They pro-
pose. with the aid of the Hon. Chris Ma
gee of Pittsburg, and with the incidental
support of the 500, 900, to try to secure
the majority OF the delegates from the
keystone State.
senator Quay is aware Of what is going
on, and this antI-luay movement is one
of the chief reasons why he believes the
next National Republican Convention
should be held in Pttsburg the very
center of the Magee following, with the
idea of winning for Quay the eternal
gratitude of the tOwnSmen. Many Re-
publicans outside of Pennsylvania do not
like the idea of going to Pittsburg, in
sisting that the hotel accommodations are
inadequate. MIR. Platt seems to believe.
though. that Mr.. Quay will have his way
concerning Pitts burg.
No matter what the result of the elec-
ton i'll New York tomorrow, anti-P Piatt
Repu blicans OF New York State, and es-
pecially Of New York County, will con-
tinue their efforts to secure as many anti
Platt delegates as possible to the National
Convention. Senator John Sherman and
Governor Mckinley of Ohio are the con-
slant advisers of Mayor Strong, General
Anson q. McCook, General Sam Thomas
and other mem bers of the Ohio society.
All OF this outfit just at present favor the
nomination OF Governor Mckinley, with
