AN EXHIBITION 01 WEAKNESS Friends of the Senator Arc Surprised at Hist Latest 1-isurcs - Tho Result In Lackawanna Creates Interest. Special to tho Seranton Tribune. Philadelphia. Pa., July ll.-The facts and llgures, or rather the fukos and figments, given out Inrt night by Mr. Quay as to the probabilities of his suc cess In the coming state convention, were the talk of all men who read them th!s morning. Even it he most intimate frit-ndsof Mr. Quay were amazed. Talk Ir.g on his part at this time also sur prised them, and almost to a man they think the figures on majorities came from either Andrews or beach in Quay's name. tin -the other 'hand, they argue that if they are Quay's figures ami he gave them out hinuvlf it is the most abject confession f weakness he has ever made. Indeed, some of them do not hesitate to express their fear that the scnato- Is a victim of political paresis. The figures of iMr. Quay are intended to stimulate the fainting 'hearts of his Interior friends who nre tumbling over each other 4n their efforts to get to the support cf Governor Hastings. Not a man In the Quay camp in Philadelphia or out of it has an atom of confidence In these figures. Even"' Saturnine An drews, who barely sm!le9, grinned all over when he Rvit these figures and paid to Leach: "Won't the people be a lit tle suspicious of the old man trying the experiment of talking at this late day." As a matter of fact the figures given out by Senator Quay are so gross ly Improbable that they are ridiculous and have fallen flat and v-?ry far from their purposes. The greatest Interest Is manifested here over the rcrult In Lackawanna to morrow. The knowledge that Quay has dumped something like J4.0OO into the county with which to buy miners has added to the Interest. The feelinsr here Is that the sturdy sons of toil will re?snt this insult to 'their political in tegrity by overwhelmingly defeating the Quay crowd. MR. MAG EE INTERVIEWED. Ilo Points Out the Absurdity of Senator Quay's Stntcmcnts. Harrlrburg, Pa., July 11. Charles Emory Smith, C. U Magee, Charles E. Vorhees and others had a conference with Governor Hastings at the execu tive mansion tonight. Before going to the mansion -Mr. Magee was asked about Senator Quay's statement pub lished In the United Press despatches this morning and said: "Colonel Quay claims that out of 136 delegates already elected he has 101. leaving 35 for Governor Hastings and Chairman Gilk'son. The truth is that of the 133 delegate's already elected 6S are committed to Colonel Gilkeson. "Colonel Quay also claims that his total vote 1n the convention will be 184 and that of his opponent 105. Al legheny has already elected twenty- three d?legates for Gilkeson. The stout est Quay adherents concede Gllkeson sixty-five votes In Philadelphia. That is a total of elghty-ftight In these two counties. The absurdity of Colon-1 Quay's statement that Gllkeron will only have 103 votes In the convention can be easily seen, as It only gives Gil- keson seventeen delegates outside of these two counties, while the truth Is that forty-five delegates have already been elected for bint outside of Phila delphia and Allegheny. 'Vith th six ty-eight d?le?ates alrrad'elected for Gllkeso-n and the sixty-five he will get In Phihd-Iph'a. fo's total vote Is 131 or within twelve votes of enough to elect without counting anything from the eighty-four delegates yet to be elt cted outside of PWlsdelpihla. The changes are that Colonel Quay In claiming a majority of sevcrty-n!ne delegates for himself has given about th figures of Colonel Gilkceon's majority over him." COLLEGE IN LUCK.
