Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 31.-Tfe first
official move of the Republican iegisla-

members Of the house, resulted in what
appears to be Quay victory. This
was the production of 1O2 votes for VIII

wart Republican candidate for speaker,
just the number necessary to elect him.
The anti-Quay Republicans insist that
several of the votes produced at
tonightS caucus were bogus, and that
the best Marshall can do is ninety-seven
votes, and five insurgents, with the
Democrats. viii elect their candidate
for speaker tomorrow and organize the
house on an anti-Quay basis. The stall
wart Republicans will control the or
eanization of the senate without Il
doubt.
The house Democrats and auti-QUay
Republicans had separate caucuses at
II o'clock today to discuss plans for fu-
