The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-06-15

as IL 1t would like to get up on its feet,
but was too heavily laden to do so.
While 1t appears to be conceded that
Mckinley has the votes, 1t is quite cer-
tain that the Maine Le~, lie have made
the finest display In behalf of the man
Of their choice The Rec" -darters are
In the parlors Of the ST .hern. mag
niflcent suite Of roor .that have been
elaborately dscora. with tri-colored
bunting festooned rom the chandeliers.
Banners bearing the seal Of the state
and other flags have also been utilized.
The most imposing effect, however. Is
made on the outside Of the building.
The edge Of the porch over the main
entrance bears the words Reed head
quarters and at each end Reed" ap-
pears In !ncandescent electric lights,
which at night throw brilliant glare
upon banner suspended across the
street containing fairly good picture
OF the speaker ana the inscription For
PRESIDENT. Ihomas b. Reed"
is sole nnonarch os oanS,So,on , 0uaS
lures hang on the pillars and staircas ca
and a row of incandescent lamps kent
constantly alight shows at the head of
a staircase to the parlor floor the name
of Matthew Stanley Quay" His head :
quarters there consist of a suite of
rooms in one Of which stands on an
easel large handsome oil painting of
himself, the gift nodded frame OF which
is now wreathed In evergreens. In the
same room a visitors book Is open at
which the delegates and visitors from
the Keystone state are requested to
record their names. All these are un-
mistakable indications. II they do not
amount to a positive announcement
that Mr.. Quay is to be considered as
regularly entered on the list of runners
on the presidential race course
Mr.. Platt this afternoon received an
answer to his telegram of inquiry which
he yesterday sent Governor Morton
asking II 1t was true that he had noti-
fled Mr.. Depew that he would not ac-
cept the vice presidency. Mr.. Morton
answered that 1t was true.
