0uay'S Successor,

The coming session of the legisla-
lively and exciting contest for United
States Senator to succeed Senator
Quay. The fact that the Republican
majority will not be so large as in the
last Legislature, and that the vote on
the Republican side stands in a fair
way of being divided when the choice
of United States Senator comes be-
fore the body, will make the session
a decidedly interesting one.
Already the wires are being pulled
Although the opposition to Senator
Quay have not as yet named their
choice; it is more than likely that be-
fore the meeting of the legislature
there will be a number of candidates
in the field. 1t is possible that there
may be repetition of the contest of
1881, when there was a deadlock in
the Legislature, which resulted in the
election OF Senator Mitchell as the
candidate of the opposition to the
Cameron dynasty.
If the Republicans opposed to the
election of Senator Quay should re-
main out of the caucus, and can in
duce the Democratic members of the
legislature TO support an independent
Republican for the position, the
friends of the Beaver statesman
would be taxed to their utmost to

Madrid, Nov. 16.-According to semi
official statements here the Spanish
peace commissioners will maintain
their present attitude in regard to the
Philippine Islands, and will certainly
not accept the conditions of the Uni
ted States. Further, if the discussion
does not return to the limits of the
protocol, as viewed by the Spaniards
the Spanish commissioners have de-
cided, in spite of contrary reports, not
to sign a treaty of peace. 1t is also

Republicans claim that this will be

Senator Quay is already beaten.

successful in the late election, when
Col. Stone, who was charged with
being his candidate, was elected
