WASHINGTON. May 22.-The news that
Senator Quay arrived at Canton this after
noon. the home of Major Mckinley and had
been taken home by Mckinley in the latter's
carriage. has stimulated anew speculation
over the purposes CT the visit of the Penn
sylvania Senator to the Ohio candidate. Mr..
Quay and Mr.. Hastings have both FASTENED
to say, in the most direct language, that
there is not any truth in the report that
Mr.. Quay will make Governor Hastingss
name on the ticket the price of the sixty
delegates which he thinks he controls The
more recent story that Mr.. Quay is anxious
to conduct the campaign this year Is not
necessarily in conflict with the Hastings
project. but rather a corollary. Meanwhile
the outcome Of the meeting OF the lion and
the lamb viii be watched with deepest inter-
est. and only time will reveal the eventual
relative location of both creatures after the
meeting.
Mr.. Clarkson has been here. holding SOL
emn conferences with Mr.. Quay. Clarkson is
not going out to see Mr.. Mckinley He is
for Allison. he says, and has no reason for
visit to Mckinley. Senator Lodge received
an invitation. but the Massachusetts Senator
promptly replied that the friends of Speaker
There will be an interesting occasion here
on the 1st OF June. Col. Perry Carson, the
black giant, who holds the Republican poll
tics of the District of Columbia In the hol-
low Of his hand. win give a barbecue, to
which have been invited all the colored dele
gates from the South. There will be gener-
Gus hospitality provided, and then there will
be a meeting Of all the delegates. at which
the situation it affects the colored
delegates, will be earnestly discussed. Col
onel Carson is an anti-McKinley man. and
his chief lieutenant in the barbecue project
Is Col. bob" Smalls. President Harrison's
collector of the port OF Charleston, 5. c.
Colonel Smalls Is an Allison man. Ex-Sena-
tor Kellogg, of Louisiana, and Mr.. Clark
son are also helping along the barbecue. All
these men are opposed to the nomination OF
Mr.. Mckinley, and they are frank to state
that the principal business Of the June day
festival Is to organize a strong anti-McKin-
ley sentiment among the large majority Of
colored delegates who have votes at St.
Louis. Messrs- Carson and Smalls say they
are tired of the stories which throw suspicion
on the loyalty of the colored delegates when
approached by the rich tempter, and they
propose to show that the colored delegate is
not for sale.
The talk Of Vice Presidents has been re-
vived by Mr.. Quay's visit to Canton. The
New Workers speak, of Gen. Horace Porter
and Of Lieutenant Governor Saxton. The
New Jersey men have brought out Mr.. Ho-
bart, and to-day dainty little pamphlet ar
rived in the mail bringing out Governor LIZ
pitt, OF Rhode Island Governor Lppitt seems
to be strong in the matter of pedigree, and
his historian points out in detail how Mr..
Lippitt springs from noble stock, even unto
the tenth generation. including among his
ancestry such varied worthless as Roger Will
Jams, who founded Rhode Island, and John
Lippitt, who owned town lot In Providence.
Governor Lippitt also served his country as
colonel when his father was Governor There
are many other vice-presidential possibilities.
but Mr.. Lippitts boom has been most dis
cussed to-day
