There will he no quorum present tomorrow
as both the Democrats and the anti-Quay Re-
publcans have determined to stay out and pre-
vent majority being present. This is done
because OF fear that the Quay men who are

they should vote IT would elect Quay. but II Is
thought that there is not man so base on
either side 20 break his pair Such an action
has never been heard Of in the Pennsylvania

sinuat!ons Of bad faith and say that their op-
ponents may have occasion 20 sirg enother song
.n the near future. IN saying this the Quay
people point 70 the fact that IN Lebanon County
to-day where a primary election for nomination

of money by anu-Quay people have been dis
covered. and there IS dismay in the anti-Quay
camp.

whiskey given 10 them by the anti-Quay
men 70 work against Quay's interests to
morrow night The Quay people here are Jubi-
liant, and say their men IN Lebanon, who ex-
posed thu plot will apply for the $4,000 re-
ward offered by the Business Mems League OF
Pennsylvania for the arrest and conviction OF
any person engaged IN bribery In the present
fight for Senator. insisting that The contest In
Lebanon is part ot the main fight. II the re-
ward is refused they will bring suit. and the
whole matter IS likely 10 get into court In more
ways than one.
