Harrlsliurg Patriot Confirms a Pre
vailing Suspicion.
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.

ing bills:
