Middle Western States.
Senator Quay's return, and the announce
ment that he would remain at the Republican
National headquarters for the present. taking
charge of the campaign in the East. after Mr.. =
Hannas departure tomorrow. gave an efrectuaI
quietus to the yarn that Mr. Quay ana Mr.
Hanna had fallen out over the conduct OF the
campaign and the distribution OF the campaign
funds. and that Mr. Quay had gone back to
PENNSYLVANIA not to return TO New-York perore

wrested from the control OF the advocates Oh tne
silver lunacy. A survey OF the entire Hello was
made. and the prospects for the election OF he'
publican Legislatures which would cnoose
sound-money Republicans to the upper branch
in Congress were considered in detail. Brice' OK
Ohio will be succeeded by Foraker. and no
doubt was expressed that the places OF Hill. OF
New.york and Villas of Wisconsin, gold Demo-
Gratis and Cameron. OF Pennsylvania, silver Re-
publican would be filled by sound-money re,

tiring Senators are silverites, recent reports re-
ceivad from South Dakota indicated the election

how things were going in his State. He be-
l,eved that Delaware would go Republican again

iority in the Senate varies from three to seven.
according to the nature OF the measure pro-
posed. A change of four votes. therefore.
would make possible the adoption or remedial
legislation soon after Mckinleys inauguration.
Some obstacles more or less formidable are 10

triumph for sound money and Republicansu
will be so complete that it will insure transfer
