New York. oct. 4.-Senator Quay
telegraphed from his home in Beaver
yesterday that he would be at Repub-
lican national headquarters on Mon
day morning. On Monday and Tues
day there will be important meetings
of the executive committee and gen.
eral roundup of affairs before Chair
man Hanna's departure for the seat OF
war at Chicago. 1t has been said that
Senator Quay has spent the week at
his home celebrating his siNty-third
birthday. 1t was ascertained Iestef-
day that there have been many travel
ers from other states who called on
Senator Quay land congratulated him
on his siXty-third birthday Then Il
majority of these travellers discussed
affairs in their states with Senator
Quay Meantime some interested friend
of Senator Quay peddled story to the
effect that Senator Quay had left the
headquarters in New York because he
had quarrel with Chairman Hanna
over alleged tritling differences with
Secretary William Mckinley Osborne
OF course this story, which fooled
plenty of people, diverted attention
from Senator Quay's actual move
ments. At the proper time it was au-
thoritatively denied by Chairman
Hanna.
Senator Quay is familiar with the
workings of the campaign in all of the
southern states, and he has given par
ticular attention to the fight i'm Ken
ginia and Delaware and Maryland. He
is an adept IN carrying on campaigns
in states of this character
Senator Quay, SO his friends said yes
terday. and among them was Chair
man Hanna. does not quarrel over
pettv matters. He has been too long
on ~ turf to bother about trifles. Be-
sides, it is well known that Senator
Quay is looking out for man named
Quay-that's himself-and he isn't
quarreling with his old allies after the
battle has been won.
ONE RESULT
one result of Senator Quay'S nego-
tiations. with which Chairman Hanna
has been fully familiar, has been the
withdrawal OF the Higgins electors in
the State of Delaware. Senator Hig-
gins has not given up his fight against
j. Edward Addicks by any means He
has merely withdrawn the Higgins elect
ors for the purpose of aiding i'm the
election of sound money congressman In
the Peach state. After election the
Higgins people will resume their hOstil-
tiles against Addicks.
The depart ure of Senator Quay from
headquarters just as Bryan started on
his speaking tour In the border states
uhose already mentioned above). came
up yesterday in discussion with
Chairman Hanna. who positively de
clined to tell what Senator Quay had
been up to. Chairman Hanna added
Everything will he known al the
proper time, but there would be little
sense in talking about such matters
at this time"
1t is positively known. however. that
the Republicans are banking ON captur-
ing most of the aforesaid States. and
that hryan and PopOcratic Chairman
Jones, not forgetting Senator German.
Are fearful Of the results in these
States. This much is positively known.
While Bryan was trapesing through
the New England states the Republi
can National managers We're putting
in heavy work in these border states.
Chairman Jones found il out. and thar
is on" Of the reasons why he tele
graphed to Senator German asking for
Il conference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Senator German has gone to Maryland
and will attempt to save his State.
Meantime Bryan is trying to catch up
in The middle Western ana Northwest =
rrn states. territories which he has ut
terly neglected because of his rapt
idea that he could capture New York
and the New England states. All the
time Bryan was racing up and down
states which everyone but himself
knew were lost to him, the Republican
National managers, We're Subsoiling in
Michigan. Illinois. Indiana. Minnesota
iowa, Nebraska. and Missouri. Popo-
cratic Chairman Jones has been in de-
Spair over Bryan's conduct. and Sena

Sunday, hasn't said u word for publi-
cation. Bryan knew it all. In the esti-
