FIarrishure Jan - (Speciall.-Ihere was no
thanc. i'm the Senatorial situation to-day oeha-
tor QUAY srl has the lead. and he can Keep
g. ae long a. be wants it. but # is evident from
The determined manner Of his opponents 'ha'
h. cannot gain any more strength thai he has
thus far exhibited. They say he has SHOT his
holy and he cannot get another vote. Judging
from the events II the week this is true. A
TAX with the leaders Of the anti-Quay Repub-
lean and the Democratic legislators this even
.rc showed that matters have arrived at this
ri-ch
Every one n them said that under no circum-
stances would h. vote for Quay. and his ll3
rotes are all that he can count on he Is as far
Of from, the III votes necessary 10 elect as he
ever was and all the urging. begging and plead
,re OF the men who are at the head Of his con-
test cannot change a vote. Yet the Quay Peo-
re are as full N fight as ever. They say ear
nestly that QUAY Will win. and that they VIII
spring surprise vet that will bring success.
II IS sad tonight that the friends of Quay

Vho are holding n from voting for him on the
ground that he must first establish his limo

4 peculiar law q PENNSYLVANIA gives the Dis
t~ict-Attorney almost unlimited powers in the
matter - selecting iuries IN trials FOR msde-
raeanors 80 that il Is within his province 70
select almost any jury he desires. and makes
him master II the situation. There has been
introduced IN the present Legislature bill
uhich materially changes this law. and gives
the defendant the same rights as the District
ATTORNEY This bill is now on it's way through
me Senate and will be passed by that body
When 81 gets ~ the House II will have bitter
opposition As II IS supposed 70 he designed in
Qusys interests IL * expected that II viii be
opposed hv the snti-Quay Republicans and
Democrats
Toaf1 Do The passage Of this bill great many
n what gre called QUAY Democratic leaders
from Ill over the State are here TO get the
Democrats INTO line. The argument Is that
while Democrat should not vote for Quay. yet
there IS no harm in voting to abolish law that
IS relic ~ Darbarism and II is said that with
ne law changed Quay can get the kind OF
iral he wants and he acquitted. and with his
accut,a he secures the aid Of the men who are
aocig out until he proves his innocence 1t Is
