he Will carry out his original intention OF voting
once for Quay and then for whom he pieases
Quay gained Harold. OF Beaver. who returned
to-day.
There was not that hilarious and VociferouS
time in Joint convention to-day that was ex-
pected by the Democrats and snd-Quay people
They had prepared themselves to give Lieuten-
ant.Governor Goblin q warm time II he RODE
over them to-day as he did yesterday. but Goblin
had gathered wisdom in the night, and through
a talk with Quay. and the military camp tactics
were wisely suppressed.
When the convention met Mr.. Dixon VINO
was yesterday sat upon, again onereo MS reso-
luton embodying rules for the guidance OF the
convention and again Northumberland
Goblin said he could not recognize him untn
after a ballot had been taken, that being the
only thing in order under the rulings OF previous
Joint conventions. which he quoted
"Wil YOU recognize me after ballot quer'eo

On the announcement Of the ballot MI DIXON
s,ffered his resolution establishing rules and 1t
vas passed with no opposition ana 10 the
pleasurable disappointment OF the anti-ouay
people
There will be another ballot tomorrow. but
there will be no change In the result and little
change in the figures. number Of legislators
osired this afternoon and left the CITY, so that
fhe attendance will be small. The Constitution
saws that there must be one ballot every DAY
until there is an election. so that both sides
must be constantly on the alert
One of Senator Quays close friends said to-
night that there would be choice for senator
cor at least a week or ten days. but he was not
prepared to say that at the end OF that time
Quay would win.
QUAY MEN AGREE TO STAND TOGETHER
The Quay men generally, however. are not
at all discouraged over the outlook they cir
culated paper for signatures to-day pleogng
the signers to stand by Quay TO the end. and
secured ninety out Of the 113 Quay supporters
which may mean protracted deadlock. They
regard with indifference the efforts made by the
anti-Quay people to break their ranks. and in
rist that the votes necessgfS to elect the Beaver
Senator will be forthcoming In due time and
that II is only question OF time.
The crowd at the wanamaker headquarters
are Just as positive mat Quay has shot his bolt
and that as he has nothing in reserve, he can
not win. They are not prepared to say whom
they will combine on, but will continue 10 hre-
at the flock for some time yet. The fusion
proposition advocated by Mr.. jerks the Demo-
cratic candidate, does not meet with favor. In
fact, nobody takes It seriously.
II seems to be regarded certain that II
Quay Is not elected his friends will go along
with the anti-Quay Republicans and elect Re-
publican who, while not Deing loenllneu III ally
way with the Wanamaker faction, will not be
{ninical TO Quay.
Senator Quay went 10 Washington this after
noon and may return on Monday. His interests
are being looked after by party OF friends. He
was the guest Of Governor Stone at the Execu-
tive Mansion last night. Before boarding the
train this afternoon. Senator Quay said:
~ am going TO Washington TO attend TO some
Official matters that require my attention. The
situation here az far the United States SEN
atorship Is concerned. is entirely satisfactory
20 me. I am grateful to the Republican men,
bers Of the Legislature who honored me with
unanimous nomination for reelection. and ap-
precate the action of all those who stood solidly
by the action of the caucus. ] have not the
slightest doubt Of my election. Ny friends have
q thorough and perfect organization and am
satisfied to leave the management Of my can
va$ m their hands in my absence"
