SibleN the Local Boss.
LFrom SUNDAYS Dispatch. }

In return for his efforts TO throw
De nocratic votes to Mr.. Quay at Har-
risburg Joseph SIbley has been recogniz-
ei as the arbiter of patronage in Nenan-
go county. This will probably be de
MED by Quay ami his friends. but the
allegations are borne ont by the follow
ing long distance telephone message:
"McKim's confirmation cannot be
made without Sibleys permission.
This declaration was made last Thurs
day by Colonel, now ex-senator, Quay,
in response to a telephone plea from a
Nenango county man, as quoted by the
latter, that William NJ. McKim be con-
firmed as Postmaster at Oil City The
contest over this Postmastership, and
the part it played in the defeat OF
Charles w. Stone in the Twenty-seventh
district, is familiar history in that To-
cality, but it is now of State and nation
al significance The deal by which Mr.
Sibley defeated Mr. Stone is now known
and is proven by the failure of the
Pennsylvania Senators to have Post
master McKim's nomination confirmed.
John r. Robertson, Chairman of the
Venango County Republican Commit
tee, and ex-Representatiye Fred w.
Hays, of Oil City, have been in Wash
ington for several days past endeavoring
to secure the confirmation of McKim
but when Congress died Yesterday with
out action their Indignation reached the
boiling point. They were convinced
when they came here that Senator
Quay had entered into an understand
ing with Mr. Sibley, and that for SER
vices to be rendered by the latter in the
Senatorial contest at Harrisburg, Mr.
Quay was to prevent Mr. McKim being
confirmed as the Oil City Postmaster. a
consummation devoutly wished by w
FL. Longwell. who had been a contest
ant for the office, and in revenge for de-
feat, it is alleged, had done active work
for Sibley in the Congressional fight.
Senator Penrose is the PENNSYLVANIA
member of the Committee on Postoffices
and Post Roads, which has to do with
the nominations of Postmasters. Be
fore he was thoroughly advised of all
of Quay's deals in Mr. Stones district
he had promised Mr. Stone and Chair
man Robertson that Mr.. McK1m would
be confirmed This promise was made
as absolutely as possible.

HARRISBURG.

Thursday's vote was 90, "a. IL, z. etc.
2IS in All and 10 necessary to an cleo
tiop. Three members of the House and
two wonewspaper men were ready 70 testi-
fy before the bribery committee but
were refused a hearing by the Quay
members. Sibley was i'll at his hotel;
the Magee jury bill was laid aside; quay
and Gov. Stone called upon Sibley and
then Quay went to Washington.
On Friday Coy. Stone rendered the
vacant Supreme Judgeship to d, I.
Watson Of Pittsburg, Democrat.
Friday was great day in the House.
Geu. Koontz' z'sdetermination TO appeal to
the House regarding the actions OF the
Bribery investigating committee in re-
fusine to hear evidence caused the
Quay men to resort to filibustering and
gag rule. Speaker Farr adjourned the
House at II A. NJ against the will OF
the majority present; rJw followed,
Farr left his seat and Ward Bliss was
selected TO take his place, and com
mittee appointed to see what can be
done with Farr. After calling the
House to order at IL 80 Far again left
his seat, and was followed to the door
and cursed and hissed
At noon both houses assembled to
vote for Senator, and Quay lost three
votes two from Phil'a and one from
Lackawanna. The vote stood Quay ~
Jenks 55, .Dalzell IL, Stewart z, Huff =,
etc, 1863 in all and Quay ~ short. The
three men gave their reasons for chang
ing their votes, and were cheered by
the Independents.
At Monday evenings session Gen.
Koontz introduced his resolution en-
larging the investigating committee by
four members, and made rpttline
speech in support of 1t.
Chairman Kreps, of the Investigating
Committee, undertook to defend the
course of the majority who tried to de
lay the examination. He claimed that
Gen. Koontz refused TO go on at the
meeting on Friday. This provoked thf
General to say:
Il will tell the truth The Chairman
Of that Committee came to me with
trembling hands and said: See, an
sick. Won't you wait. and then Mr.
voohees pleaded the illness of his wife.
This was more than the Quayite'
could stand, and Frank McClain. Of
Lancaster. came to their rescue. and In
a very polite speech hoped the discus
sion would cease and that no Assembly
man would stand in the way Of free
and open investigation. The substanc,
of the resolution offered by Gen. Koontl
and passed was that majority refused
TO hear the testimony. He proposed
that Messrs Dixon. Fow, Rendell ant
Young be added,
Kreps. in an indiscreet amendment
moved that the committee be discharg
ed and the House be named as com
mittee of the whole to prosecute the in
vestigation. He declared he presented
his amendment in good faith and no

to pulverize Kreps.

doors and the hall buzzed with the con-
fused murmur of myriads of voices.
An American flag had been lowered
from the press gallery above the speak
er's chair
The closing scenes in the house were
OF more than usual interest. After all
the bills had been passed there follow
ed the usual resolutions. That offered
by Mr.. Bailey, thanking Speaker Reed
and the remarks of the minority leader
were of character to lend dramatic
turn to the proceedings. The action of
the house and the speakers reply
aroused the house and spectators to en-
thusiasm. After adjournment mem
bers and visitors joined in singing pa
triOtic airs.
Pittsburg Jared pretty well in the
way OF appropriations by the congress

Dalzell.

600, as follows: Pittsburg harbor.

556; Allegheny river, SO, 900; Ohio riv-
er, $2, OS5, 900. OF course the amount
appropriated for the latter stream will
not all be used at Pittsburg but every
dollar spent will result beneficiallv to
the interests of the city. The appropri-
alton for Erie harbor is S125, 600. This
also adds to the business of Pittsburg.
Both the senate and house agreed to
all the appropriation bills AT 1890 A.
M, each resumed sessions after a re-
cess. The necessary business IN the
way of messages between the houses
and the signing of enrolled bills was
then taken up. The Pacific cable
amendment failed
In the naval appropriation bill the
house won all its amendments for in
crease of the navy and the senate
amendmentreducing the price of armor
plate to $500 prevailed. The senate
amendment for an armor plate factory
was eliminated from the bill.
