House selected by Senator Flynn. the
leader OF the INSURGENTS. In his own dis
trict, as safe man FOR the anu-Quay
movement at any turn. AS the name of
McTighe was upon the anti-Quay pledged
list. IL had tendency to discredit the
whole list
with the Senate and House organized
against them. the Insurgents had met at
the Commonwealth and agreed TO stand
together 10 the last ditch. Three declared
that Quay could not be elected and that
the ballot ON the 18th would confirm this
prophecy. Then they issued a statement
containing the names OF the 6O-odd Re-
publicans who had pledged themselves to
never vote for Quay, and TO remain out
of all caucuses called I'm his interest.
Before this list reached the public, Nc
Tighe of Pittsburg deserted. and few
hours later Hill and Tiffany OF Susaue-
hanna. whose names were on the list.
attended the caucus which nominated
Quay for another term In the United
States Senate. Another member, Nc
Pherson OF Adams. who had voted with
the fusionists on the organization Of the
House. also took part IN this caucus.
These breaks still further discredited
the anu-Quay list. and then came the Of
fcial declaration that further attempts
at fusion were or owing to the action
OF the six Democrats I'm the House. Col.
James Nj. Guffey, the Democratic leader
went home thoroughly disgusted. Sen
ator Flynn said he could fight the ma
chine, but he could not fight two parties
at the same time.
Another insurgent leader admitted that
the fight was settled, and the law-mak-
ers might Just as well get down to bust
ness. sill another. when asked about
the situation, replied: "wait till we get
our second wind"
Everybody here believes that the con-
test against Quay Will end with his elec-
tion to the United States Senate on the
18th. The Quay managers say they have
added several names 10 their lists since
yesterday. and there n no doubt that
they have sufficient number to elect
with some TO spare.
The Senate and House formally nomi-
mated candidates for the United States
Senate yesterday These were put in the
running by several admirers: Matthew
