Anti-Quay Republicans Again Ac-

tive in Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 2-The anti-Quay
movement in the Republican party receiv-
ed an impetus here to-day at a conference
at which there We're present about 400 rep
resentative business and party men from
all sections Of the state.
The conference was held under the au-
spices of the Business Mems League. The
conference was called to order by Elias
Deemer of williamsport, who stated that
the meeting had been called in behalf of
Republicans Of the state, who desired the
election of a governor, who will administer
the affairs Of the state without the dicta-
ton of any one man.
Quite a number of speeches were made
denunciatory of the United States sena-
tors from Pennsylvania, and particularly
censurng the political methods of Sena-
tor Quay. The sentiment OF nearly all
the speakers was in favor of the nomina-
tlon of John Wanamaker. ex-postmaster
General, as the candidate for Governor of
the Republican party at the coming cleo
ton. A committee was selected 20 notify
Mr.. Wanamaker of the action of the con-
ference, and asking him for permission
to use his name.
The conference adopted a lengthy plat
form of principles In the form of an ad-
dress to the Republican voters Of the state.
II declares the condition Of politics In the
state to be disgraceful, and that this con-
ditlon has been brought about by the ex-
pendture of money TO corrupt and de-
bauch the voters. The present senior
United States senator, the platform says,
is understood TO desire reelection ana he.
more than any other man, 1t says, Is re-
sponsible for the present corrupt condl-
tion of state politics. His defeat for re-
election Is urged upon the voters.

clutches Paul Miller, alias Ed Gifner, the
man charged with the murder of Frances

struck with the mans close resemblance
murderer. He closely questioned the man,
who said his name was John Miller.
When the stranger saw the effect the
name Miller had he said his correct name
was Louis Gimpel.
Capt. -YaelSel asked him il he had ever
been in Massachusetts. He said he was
once employed by Winston & Co. at the
water works in Boston, but had been
tramping through the West several years
OF late he said he had been working in
the rock quarry at Falling Springs,
He refused to make any state
ment concerning his whereabouts Jan. T.
He could not be threatened nor coaxed
into having his picture taken, but one was
taken without his knowledge and will be
sent to Brookfeld.
In order to hold the man until the Mas
sachusetts authorities could be heard
from, charge of vagrancy was made
against him. He was taken before Justice
Bauman, who sentenced him to 20 days in
the work house.
A careful examination disclosed all the
distinguishing marks mentioned in the
description and his features are similar to
those of the man wanted.
A reward of $500 is standing for the ar
