JEFFERSON COIXTY FOR QUAY This News Convoyed to the Governor Ycstonlay The Visit of Sen ators mils Approved bv - Governor Hastings. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Harrlsburg. Pa.. July 2. The Patriot will say tomorrow: "The long enter tained suspicion that Senator Quay's real candidate for president is his col league. Senator Cameron, has found confirmation In a recent Incident. A gentleman who Is Interested In Republi can club organization and was anxious that the Pennsylvania organization should make a good display at the late convention In Cleveland, had proposed to put Governor Hastings' picture on the badge as Pennsylvania's presiden tial candidate. "There was some difference of opinion as to what should be done, however, and the matter was fin ally referred to Senator Quay, who was at that time In Washington and had not begun his active fight agatnst the administration. Mr. Quay's reply was by letter to the effect that he had no objection to the use of a picture of the governor, but it would be a mistake to assume that Governor Hastings would be presented in the next national Republican convention as Pennsylva nia's candidate for president; that if Pennsylvania had a candidate for pres ident it would be Senator Cameron. "The authenticity of this information cannot be successfully disputed. .It is In fact supported by other similar let ters written by Senator Quay. They serve to demonstrate that should he prevail In securing control of the dele gation to the national Republican con vention next year, the vote would be given to Senator Cameron as Pennsyl vania's candidate for president." STATE OF THE TREASURY. Plenty of Cash on Hand, but the Fact lias Been Kept Seeret. Harrlsburg. Pa., July 2. Among the governor's callers today were Senators Fruit, of Mercer, and Mitchell, of Jef ferson, and Representatives Marshall, of Allegheny, Talbot, of Chester, and Tow, of Philadelphia. They were all there in the interest of appropriation bills except Senator Mitchell, who went Into the governor's private office to in form him that the Jefferson county delegates to the state convention will be for Senator Quay. Senator Fruit and Representative Marshall have the general appropriation bill In charge, and at the governor's request they held a consultation with State Treasurer Jackson to see where the state stands on revenue. Mr. Marshall says he does not anticipate much of a cut In the appropriation bills. It Is well known that the treasury Is away ahead this fiscal year of the col lections for the same period of the la3t fiscal year, and It Is Intimated that If this Information is given out It will lead to a march on Harrlsburg of those who want their appropriations as they were passed by the legislature and will protest In advance against their be ing cut down. That is the reason. It is said the formal monthly statement of the state treasury at the close of busi ness on June 30, has not been an nounced. Kills Approved by the Oovernor.
