PTTTSBURG, May 19.-The Commercial
Gazette's Washington correspondent says:
Senator Quay is going to Canton. o., to
have a talk with Major Mckinley regard
ing the latter's position on the financial
question. Just when Ihis important con-
ference will take place will depend upon
the Senator's duties. At present he is very
busy. He is a Senate conferee on the i'm
portant river and harbor and naval appro-
priation bills. both Of which were under
consideration to-day. Then there are his
regular duties in the Senate chamber. How
ever, it is probable that the bills will be
through conference in few days, and that
the Senator can take a few days off, the
latter part of the week. In discussing the
proposed visit Senator Quay said 1t was his
intention to go to Pittsburg and Beaver
the last Of this week for a few days to
attend to some private matters. Then, as
there was a good deal of uneasiness about
Major McKinley's financial position, If he
had the time to spare 1t was his intention
to go to Canton and have a personal talk
with Mckinley about it.
The announcement of Senator Quay's in
tended visit to the Ohioan created good
deal of gossip among the politicians. Com
ing Immediately after the visit to Senator
Quay of ex-senator Platt, it was believed
by some that the proposed visit was the
result of that conference. The Nc
Kinleyites affected to believe that
the visit meant the unanimous
nomination of Mckinley. They
argued that Senator Quay's real mission
was to make peace between Mckinley and
Platt, and If that was accomplished all the
leaders of the opposition would withdraw
and make McKinley's nomination unani-
NOUS Others contend that the visit would
result in Senator Quay Withdrawing from
the contest and accepting second place on
the ticket with Mckinley. and. In fact, an
evening paper here devotes half column to
a labored article designed to prove that
Quay's candidacy for the presidency was in
tended solely to secure second place for him
self. Among the alleged reasons the article
cites for this claim that Senator Quay
has already announced that he would retire
from the Senate at the conclusion Of his
present term" But few take any confidence
in the claims of the McKinleyites on this
point. In the first place. Senator Quay
to-day stated emphatically that his name
would be presented to the st. Louis conven-
ton. Secondly, Senator Quay was never
known TO desert a friend in order to feather
his own nest. As he entered the contest for
the presidency he will not draw out so long
as his friends from other States, like Speak
ef Reed and Senator Allison. desire him to
remain in. Personally. he does not concede
grounds for the belief that he may be the
nominee of the convention
