and Gov Stone introduced him to oil who
Game to pay their respects. There was
constant stream Of visitors during the
early part Of the evening. and for all
Mr.. Quay had q pleasant word. He was
apparently unconscious Of the fact that an
important Stata convention IL to DO held to
morrow In this city and that he viii DO tho
star performer. Convention preliminaries had
been left to others and 'the Old Man" was en-
joyinG himself. He knew that the ticket
agreed op by the leaders At Atlantic City sew
eral weeks ago only awaited ratification By
tho delegates and devoted himsalf TO his
friends.
Mr.. QUAY will 70 into the convention al a
DELEGATE from Beaver county. and 10 expected
TO direct his forces from tho floor. II Ia his
poliey to do everything possible to prevent
further widening Of the breach In the party.
and he will discourage anything In the speech
making or resolutions that would tend 10 irri-
tate those opposed 10 his leadership.
II ip intinated TO- light that he will ask that
the paragraph In the platform com ending
Gov. etons for appointing him senator be
stricken out before II goes to the Com mittes

Philadelphia. who was appointed to the Su-
psrior Court by Gov. Hastings. will be sup
ported By the insurgents In the convention.
They will In this way show their opposition
to the turning down OF Beeber to make
place for Josiah r. Adams OF Philadel-
phia. tina slated candidate for the intermediate
Court. Senator Ylinn made q statement to-
night outlining the policy Of those opposed to
the leadership Of Quay He said: -Seventeeu
OF the twenty-five m en- bers OF the Alle9heney
delegation agreed tonight to vote for J. Hay
Brown for Supreme Court Judge. and Dinner

UAited States Senate or any action OF the con-
vention commencing Gov. Stone for his un-
constitutional appointment OF ex-senator
Quay. or bis unwnrranted reduction OF the
public school Appropriation.
The feeling 10 unanimous among the anti
Quay delegates that nothing can prevent a
continuance Of the AGht against Mr. Quay's
reelection. The people will not be gulled by
machine promises OF reform this year
They have had a surfeit OF such pledges
during the past four years The nPht
against Quay and Quayism will be
continued with Increased energy In every
county In the State. until not only the e1tinc-
ton OF Mr.. Quay has been accomplished. but
legislation for ballot reform. personal reglstra-
tion and equalization OF taxation has been en-
acted"
The Quay men. who are overwhelmingly IN
the m ajority here. laugh at this statement and
declare that the fight against Quay gives him
no concern.
Judge Archbald's supporters. under the lead
ership OF Congressman William Connell say
his name will be presented for Supreme Court
Judge and that he will get a larger vote than
has been admitted by the friends OF J. Hay
Brown OF Lancaster. who will be the nomi-
nee. The Drown managers are distributing
red roses as their candidates badge. Lieut.
Col James E. Barnett Of the Tenth Pennsyl-
vania will have no opposition for State Treas
urer.
There are possibilities Of trouble In the con-
vention. but the Quay ticket will 60 through In
q rush. Former Attorney General Palmer
will ask that his delegates be allowed 10 vote
for him In order that he may be kept In sight
for the Supreme Court judgeship In 1902.
