Reference of His Case Not According to His
Program.
Several Democratic Senator's Counted
on by Him Are Said to
Be Wavering.

There is a great deal of fencing in the
Senate over the Quay case. Several demo-
Gratis who have been counted on by Quay
to support his claim to d seat are wavering
under the compulsion of the fact that the
petitions from democrats and republicans
of the Pennsylvania legislature consti-
tuting a majority of the legislature make
it apparent that the one thing that has
been definitely pronounced against is the
representation of the state of Pennsylvania
| in the Senate by Quay. In view of this I'M
certainty on the part of a few senator's it
is the purpose to take enough time in the
consideration of the subject to allow the
lines to be definitely drawn.
Had Mr.. Quays friends felt as confident
Of having majority of the Senate as they
have profesSed to be Mr.. Quay would, it is
claimed. have been here to claim a seat on
the opening day. The fact that he was not
here is regarded as evidence of his failure
to secure all the support he expected in the
Senate Both Vest and Morgan on whose
friendship Quay counted to give him their
votes. are said to be in an uncertain atti-
tude. with the probability that they will
not vote to seat him.
Reference of His Case
The reference of the matter to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections was a
defeat of the Quay plans. Had the Quay
people had the strength to warrant their
taking such step they would have moved
TO have the matter lay on the table until
such time as Quay should present himself
for admission 10 the Senate.
Must Meet Firm Opposition
This plan, If carried out. would have en-
abled him TO test the question in the SEN
ate without having to run the gauntlet Of
the committee. where he will meet with de-
termined opposition.
His friends are claiming that he is sure
10 be given seat, but their failure to go
directly at the matter indicates their faith
Is not SO strong as their talk, and also that
there is some sort of deal in contempla ton
between the Quay people and the other con-
testants in the Senate.
