a conference OF supporters Oh sen
ator quay among the members of the
senate and house was held few nights
ago in the room of the committee on
judiciary general for the purpose OF eX-
changing views on the situation and
listening to an address bY John Z.
Elkin, chairman of the Republican
state committee. 1t was an Informal
gathering, but nearly every member of
the general assembly who had been
voting for Senator Quay was present.
Chairman Elhn's remarks We're re-
ceived with much enthusiasm. He said
that he was pleased to address the men
who had been standing so loyalty and
nobly by the nominee of the Repubh-
can party for United States senator.
They had, by weeks of association, be-
come better acquainted, and he COM
plimented them upon the compact and
thorough organization. Since the Ke-
publican caucus had made him the
nominee OF the republican party foI
United states senator the personality OF
Senator quay became a secondary con-
| siderauon to the men who believed In
! Republican principles ana the main
tenance OF party organization TO sus-
tain and defend them. lie SAID ne mad
absolute confidence IN the reelection
OF Senator quay ana that ne was sat
ished that opinion was held oy every
man present
In RESPONSE to number of letters
sent to Republicans in different coun-
ties of the state requesting them to
urge their representatives for the nomi-
nee of the Republican caucus, Chair
man Elkin said he had received the
most cordial and enthusiastic letters
sustaining the action of those who have
stood by the party nominee, and com
mending the party services and the
public record of the senior senator
"a compilation OF these letters salo
Chairman Elkin' would make testi'
monial OF which any man might pt
proud.
The presence of Congressman-elect
Joseph c. Sibley, who, with cyclonic
force, has carried two congressional
districts in this state on different oc-
casions, has been an inspiration to the
! Democratic members of the legislature
Sibley does not propose that the De-
mocracy shall be a tail to the Finn
