QUAY MEN B0LTEp.
Difference Of Opinion Between Quay and
Mace Forces in Convention.

pittsburg. Pa. March 3l.-The Re
publicans of Allegheny county held
eight legislative and two congressional
conventions. today. for the purpose of
dominating delegates to the State and
national conventions. Col. c. l.. Ma
see and Senator Flynn were nominated
as delegates to the national convention
from the Pittsburg districts, and Con-
gresham Stone and Robert McAfee
from the Allegheny, the latter being
favorable to Senator Quay, and the
former to Major Mckinley.
The fight in the legislative districts
for delegates TO the State convention
was between the Quay and Magee fac
tons. The Magee crowd carried all
districts except the first. second.
seventh. eighth. The only fight of con-
sequence was the last named district.
There were several contests in this con-
vention. and as the temporary orSani-
cation was controlled by Magee, the
Quay delegates were unseated and
members IF the press were barred
from the meeting of the committee on
contested seats. where evidence of the
contest was presented
Quay's forces objected to this and
holted the convention. They went To
the Reform Republican headquarters
and organized a separate convention
| having representation of nearly 600
more than necessary for a choice. y
separate set of delegates were noWi-
| rated and the Pittsburg bosses We're
| Denounced. Senator Quay was endorsed
