Governor Stone has decided to revoke all
the appointments made by Hastings during
the Legislative interregnum, by sending in
new names to the Senate. These include Mr..
BrOwnlee, chief of the Mining Bureau, the
public printer, the state librarian, and many
minor officers. The announcement of this
decision has caused a scramble for the posi-
tion held by Mr.. Brownlee, and strong
effort is being made to have the next chief of
the Mining Bureau come from the anthracite
region. The members of the various state
boards, trustees of hospitals and other state
institutions, Master Warden and Health
officer at Philadelphia, and probably Super
intendent of Public Buildings, now held by
Capt. Delaney, will all be removed. Governor
Stone is making no secret of his intention to
do all that is possible to help Senator Quay.

vote, of a series of resolutions pre-
scribing rules governing the joint as

day and declined to allow them to be
considered yesterday until after the
ballot was taken. The rules provide for

offered no objections to them, and the
indications are that they win stand

Speaker Farr announced the standing
committees yesterday and the house
will now get down to business in earn

work Of the anti-Quay organization

than Senator Quay He realizes the
position he is in. and we are rapidly
reaching the time when he will openly
recognize the inevitable and step down

HARRISBURG, Jan. 20.
The fourth days fight in the great battle
for United States Senator opened with no
material change in the situation, and with
the prospects of long drawn out deadlock
Both sides appear confident, as indicated by
the public statements given out by the re.
spective leaders and published below in this
correspondence. Notwithstanding the seem
ingly confident predictions, unless there is
some radical changes within the next four or
five days the reelection of Senator Quay is
looked upon as an impossibility. Quay.
Wanamsker, Magee and Martin and few
lesser lights have left the city, an indication
that the leaders do not expect an election
before next week. There was revival of
the Magee talk to-day, and kind words are
being said about the Pittsburger by the
Quayites. The latter, however, say that
Wanamaker is the dark horse that the anti
Quayites are grooming
The Republicans have made it a point to
pair with Democrats when absent, and thus
avoid the possibility of the Democrats elect.

THE DEMOCRATIC COLUMN.
1t was rumOred early tdis morning that
certain Democratic members from Berks
county were going to Quay. 1t was also said
that the representatives from Schuylkill and
Luzerne counties we're becoming uneasy
under the party lash and were willing to Join
break. Teegams of warning from the
anti-Quay leaders were Immediately sent to
these counties and as result telegraphic
warnings were sent to the Democratic mem
bers to stand by their party candidate.
SECURING SIGNATURES.
A pledge is being circulated among those
members of the Senate and House who voted
for Senator Quay, pledging them to stand by
the senior Senator until released by him. So
far the signers have not been numerous The
opponents of Senator Quay say this is done
for the purpose of preparing to throw his
strength to some one other than himself
This, however, is denied by the Senator'S
friends

RESULT AT
PRIMARIES
Several Personal Grievances SETTLED
With the Ballots.
COUNCILMAN LALLY DOWNED
Some Of His Disappointed Constituents De
feat His Renomnation-Uoun
Englert and Murphy win Run
Again Daniel Brennan and
Michael Mellet Nomi-
mated.

The local Democratic primaries yesterday
afternoon and last evening were pretty warm
affairs, aud there were some interesting re-.
suits, particularly in the Fourth and Fifth
wards where stubborn contests were made
for the nominations for Council and School
Board. Each Of these wards nominated the
Councilmen whose terms are about to expire.
Notwithstanding the hue and cry raised
against them by would-be reformefs who
have thus far failed 10 reform themselves.
Councilman Martin Lally, Of the First
ward, was also a candidate to succeed him
self, but was swept aside by vigorous spirit
of opposition springing from personal feel
ing which took root over year ago on the
part Of several Of the most active workers in
the ward. They had resolved to whack him
on the head at the first opportunity, aud did
it. Many people thought Mr.. Lally was in
judicious in making the attempt, ia view of
the combination that arrayed itself against
him
Councilman Englert won a denomination in
the Fourth ward in canter and Councilman
Murphy did similar work in the Fifth ward
1t is remarked as a coincident that each of
them received 165 votes Richard NJ McHale,
who made hard and persistent canvass in
the Fifth ward to get the Councimanic nom
ination, missed getting into second place by
eleven votes and Murphy beat him by 50
votes. Another result of the primary in this
ward was the defeat Of James J. Dewitt, who
is closing his sixth successive year on the
school Board. A hard fight was put up
against Constable T. NJ. Bolin, but he won on
the home stretch with % votes to spare.
The results on the election of conferees
were split up. The fight hinged on the High
Constableship. Peter Reilly secured the con
terees in the Second and Third wards, and
Michael Cuff got the Fourth and Fifth wards.
Frank King is credited with the conferees in
the First ward. The Borough Convention
viii be held tomorrow night to decide upon
the nominations for High Constable and
Borough Auditor
The results of the primaries by wards were
