Possibility That Even Hall Has Been

of Reelection to the Senatc-Try-
ing to HnrmOnize the Factions.

HARRISBURG, "a. Nov. THE Nc
kinney tidal wave has swept the Demo-
cratic end of the Pennsylvania Congress
sional delegation almost out of sight.
Only four pulled through, and it is not
certainty that Hall, of Elk, has escaped
the general crash. Those elected by the
Democrats seems to be Polk, of Northunl-
berland; Hall, of Elk; Green, of Berks.
and Mutchler, of Northampton. THIS
makes the delegation &c Republicans and
4 Democrats. Republican gain of L.
Matthew Stanley Quay leaves Washing
ton tomorrow for his retreat at San LII
Gle, in Florida. He has come through
another critical stage in his wonderful
career as public man triumphantly, ard
has no doubt of his reelection to the
United States Senate.
IF elected he will take his seat and
serve out his term said one of his close
friends today. when it was suggested that
+. A. B. Widener. of Philadelphia, or
some other person agreeable to Colonel
Quay and his friends, would be elected to
the Senate.
Quay has made his fight said the
same gentleman, land will not fail to
show his gratitude to his loyal friends"
Governor Stone spent last night in Wash
ington at the home of Colonel Quay, and
they together received the news from
Pennsylvania and the nation. The returns
confirm the previous estimates of both
men and Governor Stone said this evening
that there was absolutely no doubt of the
reelection of Colonel Quay. He said the
actual Quay strength shown by the re-
turns and from private advices was in the
neighborhood of 1853 votes in the Senate and
House AS it only requires LIS votes in
the joint convention to elect United
States Senator the claims of the Quay
leaders to a big victory are amply justi-
fed.
Considerable comment was caused here
today by a despatch from Pittsburg in
Philadelphia newspaper stating that SEN
ator Finn, the insurgent leader, had re-
marked in an interview that he has not
actively interested himself in the cam
paign against Quay for reasons that were
best known to himself. 1t is intimated
here that things are not all harmonious at
insurgent headquarters and that there have
been some serious differences of opinion
regarding the conduct of the campaign
which has ended so disastrously for the
Fusionists
Governor Stone favors kindly policy to-
ward the erring brethren. He has con-
tended not only in private talks. but also
on the stump, that Il is the right Of any
Republican to oppose a candidate at the
primaries. but having received the nomi-
nation in the regular way the candidate
has the right to expect the support of his
party.
