fiercely contending factions Of eastern

Some time ago Senator Quay made
this statenentsto a personal friend of
his own ana of Mayor Warwick:
"Nothirg would please me better than
anhonofable and amicable adjustment
With the mayor which would rot in
vite the sacrifice of friends or principle.
If this can be accomplished there will
be peace in Pennsylvania, and | can
get cut of polltics--at least out of ac-
tive participation and constant duties
in a way satisfactory to myself"
Within the past week Senator Quay
and Mayor Warwick. of Philadelphia,
have consulted in regard to the matter
of party harmony. Both being practi"
cal politicians and possessed Of a good
deal Of good sense, an era of goodwill
and political peace will follow that con-
ference, which will result in giving
Senator Quay absolute control Of politi-
CAT affairs in The state at large, and
In making Senator Penrose and Mayor

Harrisburg, April 12.--Walter ].
Christy, star correspondent of the
Pittsburg,. COmmercial-GaZ writes
from here: The Quayites are rapidly
gathering in all the state delegates.
Fights are being made in some of the

l; Beaver 3; Warren, >; Lackawanna,
4; Snyder l; Berks, I; Columbia, 2;
Bradford, 5; Mexican, 8; Venango, 3;
Wayne, >; York, 6.
1t is nov admitted all along the line
that James S..NBeacom, of Greensburg,
has sure thing on the treasurership.
1t is said that he will not lose a dele
gate in the western end of the state,
save those controlled in Allegheny
county by Finn and Magee. Cambria,
which as sometimes been mentioned
as doubtful territory for the Quayites,
will be carried by Beacon.
Senator w. j. Scott, of Luzerne coun-
ty, spent an hour with Quay the other
day, 1t is said that he has been con-
verted, and that in the future there will
be no trouble about LuZerne county.
The auditor -generalship has not been
decided The friends Of McCauey, of
Chester are very hopeful. Senators
Goblin and Hardenbergh want the NOM

Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia, has
been taken into the Quay camp, and
harmony between factions is now as
sured in the Quaker City 1t is said
that after the combine fight Of 1895
Martin, Magee and Finn made a deal
that none of them would make peace
with Quay unless the entire trio was
included. This bargain is said to be
delaying the harmony scheme in Phil
adelphia. The Quayites do not want
the .Pittsburgers and Martin is slow
