 "Yes. and it was turned down." retort- ed Mir. Quay.
 ''For reasons which the gentleman knows replied MT. Elkin.
 Senator Quay moved that the names Of Senator Penrose and A S. l.. Shields of Philadelphia be added to the Committee on Contested Seats.
 MT. Elkin said: We only ask that delegates who have been fairly elected be seated. We do not want any nomina- ton that does not come fairly.
 You will get no nomination that comes any way" retorted Senator Quay.
 Instantly MT Elkin was on his feet' and. shaking his finger in MT. Quay s face. said: 'T will get the nomination if the people have their will in Pennsyl- yania Fair play is what we want
 That's what you are going to get" re- piled Mir. Quay, who also was on ms feet shaking his finger at MT. Elkin.
 "I don't care" said Mir. Elkin. whether you put these two men on the committee or not You can pack it if you want to- YOU can also seat delegates If you want 10. but you have got to reckon with the people and that reckoning will come"
 The motion that Messrs. Penrose and Shields be added to the committee was adopted by 72 to 45. The Elkinites will carry the contest into the convention.
