lican, defeating the avowed anti-Quay

QUAY MAN WINS.
| In Armstrong county the followers
of Finn made a determined fight. Rep
resentative George McNees was, how
ever, nominated for state senator. He
is a Quay man, having voted for Quay
last winter in the house. One, and
probably the two, members of the
house will be stalwarts. The regu'
lars had six candidates in the field ant
thus divided their strength. The in
surgents combined on one candidate
and thus had an advantage by trading
with friends of regular candidates
The vote on the state senatorship
however, clearly indicated the senti'
ment of the voters.
BRADFORD is STALWART.
Republican primaries were held il
Bradford county last Saturday to elect
delegates to the county convention or
Thursday next. The stalwarts had ar
easy victory over the insurgent ele
ment of the party. The convention
will elect five delegates to the state
convention. Congressman Wright will
be renominated without opposition ant
Hon. e. B. Hardenbergh will be in
dorsed for auditor general.
A sharp contest for county delegate
from Milan, the home of Representa-
tive Edmiston, the bolter candidate fo
state senator, was made, the resul
being a crushing defeat for Edmiston'
man.
