again IL In Control In Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 3.-The developments Of
yesterday and to-day indicate that David Mar
tin, the former Republican leader in Phila-
delphia. is again in complete control Of the city
organization. After standing up for two years
against the attacks of the local newspapers and
the animosity of a peculiarly active combination
OF political enemies, he has again come to the
front. The result foreshadows that he will be in
q position not only to dictate the local nomina-
tions in tho fall, but to name the Postmaster of
Philadelphia, In which he will be unopposed by
Senator Quay.
1t became known to-day that before his de-
parture from the city yesterday Senator Quay
was in conference with Martin. and at that con.
ference. it Is understood, the nomination of
Thomas L. Hicks for Postmaster OF Philadelphia
was finally determined upon. Martin will ask
1t and Quay will not oppose II.
Whether the exact relations between Quay
and Martin mean q reestablishment OF harmony
or merely an armistice, is a question, but 1t is
curious to note that the victory of Martin in the
control Of tho local Republican organization
gives evident satisfaction to certain active
spirits of the Business Mems National League
in Pennsylvania, which has engaged in q war of
possible determination against Senator Quay.
