Very respectfully.
WILLIAM 4 STONE,

Governor OF Pennsylvania.
Governor Stone said that in appoint
ing Col.Quay he felt that he did the fit
and proper thing. He thought 1t would
make the Issue. and 1t were better done
now than by waiting for weeks.
The authority cited by the governor
says that the governor Of any state may
make temporary appointment during u
recess to hold until the next legislature
meets.
This Interpretation Of the constitution
by the governor is disputed by those
who say that the vacancy did not oc-
cur during recess but while the legis-
lature was In session and that conse-
quently the governors only duty was
to call the legislature into extra session
for the purpose of filling the vacancy.
The dual Incidents of Quay's acquit-
tai and his appointment to the United
States senatorship created the greatest
excitement in political circles here. and
there was much speculation as to the
outcome. The friends of Quay are wild
with glee and say that he has achieved
two trlumphs now that must certainly
react In his favor. and that he will be
triumphantly reelected when the legis-
lature meets. 1t Is not expected. how
ever, that Governor Stone will call the
legislature into extra session. but will
take no further action in the matter.

HARRISBURG. Pa, April 2l.-Imme-

The value OF these appointments IL
;alary by districts is as follows.

The table shows that the First. Third
ana Fourth congressional districts have
Jared about alike in the matter Of ap-
pointments UP to the present time.
This, in part, Is largely due to Senator
Scott who, when he was commissioner
of Internal revenue, placed about thir-
~ West FirGinans In that service The
majority of these appointments were
made from the Third and Fourth dis
1ricts. Prior to this. however, Senator
Eiklns had been doing all he could to
even matters up. The table further
SHOWS that in these three districts the
Republicans in office from the First and
Third districts outnumber the Demo-
Gratis from the same districts, while in
Inc Fourth district the Democrats out
number the Republicans.
The Second district has more ap-
poihtments by two than the other three
districts combined. OF the 15J appoint
men,S charged to the Second district,
serenty-tive are from jefferson county.
Were 1t not for this one county, the
representation from the Second district
would be but little larger proportion
nIe!y than the other three.
Due to William Il. Wilson.
This large representation from Jeffer-
son county Is due TO the Hon. w. L..
wilson, who for many years represent
ea the Second district in Congress, and
was postmaster general during the lat
Ter part of President Cleveland's last
administration. Jefferson county was
MT Wilson'S home. and while he was
postmaster general he had Democrats
from that county appointed to office at
every opportunity. Finally President
Cievcland's blanket civil service orders
l'aced all these appointments In the
cIhssilled service and there the np-
polntccs remain protected by the rules
oi thiS service. 4 similar condition of
aFaIrs existed In the other three dis
u!c'S. Republicans were removed from
ONCE and their places filled by Demo-
cFatB. All this was done In anticipation
OF President CIcvcland's extension Of

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Senators
Elkins and Scott arc both still very
busy looking after West Virginia ap-
polntments. They have been kept so
hard at 1t that neither has been able to
leave the city, though each counted on
being able to take Il rest before this.
The placing OF West Virginians, how
ever, has given them more trouble than
They anticipated, and especially since so
many complaints are reaching them
from the First, Third and Fourth dis.
tricts concerning the inadequate repre-
Eentation those districts have US COM
pared with the Second. Clippings from
the weekly newspapers have been sent
them from all parts of the state, con j.
talnins an interview credited to Judge
Romeo II. Freer, the Republican repre-
sentative from the Fourth congression-
al district. In this alleged Interview
Judge Freer is reported to have drawn
some most startling comparisons.

institute an investigation Of the repre-
sentatlon West Virginia has In the de-

an easy matter to trace each individual

be taken as nearly absolutely correct.
