QUAY LIKELY TO WIN.
Republicans Confident Of Eleeting Their
Man for Senator From
Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG. Pa. Jan. 1.-Mat-
thew Quay was the unanimous choice
OF the joint convention OF Republican
senator's and members Of the house held
tonight in the house chamber to nom
mate a candidate for United States sem
ator.
The caucus was attended by 1s5 leg
islators or four less than the number
necessary to a choice in the joint con-
vention Of the senate and house which
win be held January 16 Three OF those
present were Hill. Tiffany and Nc
Pherson. who absented themselves last
night from the house caucus and vot-
ed with the Democrats in the house
today for General Koontz for speaker.
G. Beaver. who voted with the stall
warts for Marshall for speaker. was
present but did not answer 10 his name.
It was stated that he will abide by the
caucus. Thompson and Haldeman, who
are detained at home by illness. were
pledged by their colleagues TO Quay.
This apparently gives Quay 12s Of the
127 necessary to a choice.
Other absentees voted with the DEM
ocrats on the organization Of the house
and are classed as anti-Quay Repub-
icans. AS the names Of certain men
who had been counted in the anti-ouay
column were called and they announced
their vote for Quay there was DEM
onstration of great approval on the
part Of great many present.
The ouayites are jubilant over the
result Of the caucus as the number
present exceeded their expectations and
they claim that before the vote is
taken on joint ballot for senator they
will have many more than the neces-
sary number to elect.
