Frank Willing Leach, of the Republi-
can state executive committee, re-
turned yesterday from Washington.
where he had been since Thursday. vis-
iting many politicians. including Sena
tor Quay. Being asked to throw fur
iher light on the announcement of the
senator's candidacy for the presidency.
Mr. Leach remarked that his business
in Washington was to get that infor-
nation. II have returned home.' he
said, with full understanding Of the
programme of Senator Quay's friends
throughout the country. For three
months a score Of the Republican lead
erS OF the several states have been urg-
ing him to permit the use of his name.

that he gave his assent"
To the question whether there would
be an aggressive contest i'm support of

piled. Yes. the battle is on: and II IL
II fight to the finish. so far as Senator
Quay is concerned. What learned in
Washington was In the nature Of a
revelation to me. | came In contact
with good many of the leading MEM
bers OF both houses as well as with n
number of national committee men and
other Republican leaders outside of

onel QUAY is the choice of many of
them, and the second choice of nearly
all. Governor Mckinley is likely to
have the most votes on the first bal
lot. but no candidate can come any
where near nomination on that ballot.
From what | learned / am convinced
that there viii be concentration of
forces in behalf Of our junior senator
upon one OF the subsequent ballots"
Mr.. Leach emphatically denied that
the senator's candidacy was merely
for the purpose of holding the Pennsyl-
vania delegation together. of course
1t is not" he declared. Fully sixty
out of the sixty-tour delegates would
have stood with the senator in any
event, and in behalf of any available,
acceptable candidate. He certainly
would not have entered the field simply
for the purpose of getting the other
four delegates into line. lie is earn

of the abandonment. Leeds and Ever

recognizing that the game was up, has
been taking things easy and gaining

he will claim the forfeit if Everhart
fails to appear or If he is overweight.
The concensus of opinion among the
expert sports remaining here is that the

bounty 3ping. A few years ago the
board of Supervisors offered a bounty
on certain wild animals which were an
annoyance to farmers. Twenty-Five
cents is paid for 'possums' ears, and a
like bounty on wOodchucks. weasels
and minks. Since this law was passed.
members Of the Worthwhile club say.
there has been a distinct increase of
the animals instead of decrease.
The other day a school boy named
Rice. of PatchOgue. was convicted of
counterfeiting 'possums' with the aid of
cat skins and obtaining the bounty.
but members of the club say that is
nothing compared with the fraud and
deceit practiced by others to obtain the
bounty. Last year about $500 was
paid out by the county in bounties, to
say nothing of the fee of ten cents al
