TOM PLATT CLAIMS
SENATOR QUAY
Announces That the PennsyIvaEi:n Is
with Hin to the End.
DELEGATES TO FIGHT FOR SEAT:
Pintt Proposes to Garry the Struggle
Into the Commemorative Carloads
Of New Workers to Shout for Morton.
Lively Times in Prospect.

st. Louis, June Ex-senator Quay, of
Pennsylvania. was one of Mr.. Platt's
callers this afternoon. The two were
closeted for an hour. When Quay de-
parted, Platt remarked to a group Of
newspaper men: senator Quay Is in
the fight with me to the end" Early
this evening Plat received a despatch
which he showed with much satisfac-
ton to several callers in his room. 1t
read as follows:
Albany, June 70.
To T. C. Platt, Southern Hotel, St. Louis:
Five carloads OF loyal New York Re-
pubiicans are on their way 10 st. Louis
for Morton and sound money.
J. S. Kenyon.
This delegation will arrive tomorrow
afternoon and thus reinforced, the
fight to prevent the unseating of the
platt men in the New York delegation
will actively begin. Mr. Platt is quoted
as saying that ii the national commit
tee unseats his delegates he will carry
the contest to the committee on creden-
tials. and If their decision is unfavor-
able, IT will be continued on the floor
OF the convention.
The arrival this evening of Mr.. Cor
nelius Bliss, and other New Workers,
gave rise to the belief that the New
York contests. which had been post
poned pending their arrival would be
taken up tomorrow. At midnight 1t
was still a question whether they would
be reached tomorrow or go over until
Monday.
SENATOR QUAY SILENT.
A number of newspaper men called
at Mr.. Quay's apartments on the fourth
floor of the Southern hotel when his
presence there became known. Be-
yond announcing that he was in the
presidential race to stay and that his
name would be presented to the con-
vention by General Hastings, Mr. Quay
declined to be interviewed. He ex-
pressed entire ignorance as to what
kind of platform the convention was
likely to adopt He also declined to say
whether 1t was his purpose, as had been
stated by some of the Pennsylvania
delegation, to transfer the vote of his
state for himself to Mckinley when
Pennsylvania was reached on the roll
call and generally he manifested to his
newspaper callers a, much greater de-
sire to receive than to give news.
