CHAIRMAN QUAY'S REMARKS He Is Gratified at the Large Attendance. Ex-Chairman Gllkcson Is Cornpll-monteJ-The Campaign Work Is Mapped Out. Philadelphia. Cct. 2. Prominent Ite publlcans from every section of the state were here today and the liveliest sort of activity prevailed at the head quarters of the Republican state com mittee. The occasion was a meeting of the state committee and a conference of the executive commute of that body which a? rcent'.y appointed by Sena tor and State Chairman Quay. Mr. Quay arrived this morning from Pittsburg, accompanied by State Sen ator Andrews, Congressmen Acheson and Heines, and Sergeant-at-Arms of the State Senate Harrah. Other arriv als were Benjamin F. Haywood, the candidate for state treasurer; Repre sentatives Lytle and 'Marshall, E. W. Smiley. Chief Clerk of the Senate W. K. Tompkins. Chairman of the Luzerne County Committee Frank Willing l.each and State Senators Penrose and Thomas. Philadelphia members of the executive committee; Congressmen W illiam A. Stone and John B. Robin son, Lieutenant Governor Walter Lyon, ex-Lteutenant Governor Louis A. Wat res, ex-State Chairman Thomas V. Cooper, Lyman D. Gilbert, Samuel A. Davenport. James B. Holland, ex-Congressman A. C. Hopkins, of Clinton; James B. Raymond, of Blair; Alvln Markle, of Luzerne; Representative Walter T. .Merrick, of Tioga: E. A. Hempstead, of Crawford, and State Senator Mitchell, of Jefferson. The ex ecutive committee was In session from 11 a. m. until 1 p. m. Senator Quay presided. There were three things In particular which the committee discussed at length. They were: Legislation, look ins to reform: rules for the party or ganization and booming Pittsburg as the city for the national convention. A resolution was adopted urging the state committee to appoint a sub-committee on legislation on the reforms suggested In the platform of the lato state convention, This committee, it was understood, should be composed of members of the legislature. To Avoid I'nple.nnntnes-. Another resolution adopted suggested that the patty should have rules to regulate and systemlze the state ma chinery so that the clashing that marked the "late unpleasantness" would he avoided In the future. It was decided to ask the state committee to appoint a committee to prepare the rules and report to the next state con vention. The following was adopted In further ance of Pittsburg's boom as the place for holding the national convention next year: Whereas. This committee symoat -".an with the efforts of the citizens of I i hurg to have the next Republican a tlonal convention held in that phice, which was the cradle of the party: and Whereas, As It is the sense of this com mittee that Pittsburg is admirably lo cated for a national convention, geo graphically, ami has ample accommodations-nnil facilities for the same, be It Resolved, Thnt this committee urges the members of the Republican national com mittee to select Plttsblirn- as the ran. !r"ftii'tlon city, and thnt a committee of live .8 apnainled by the chairman of this .ommlttee to assist him In bringing the maiier oerore tne national committee. Senator Otiny's Address. This concluded the business of the executive committee, and at 2 o'clock the state committee proper was sailed together. 117 members being present. When thecommittepmenhad assembled. Chairman Quay said: Gentlemen. I have called this meetlncr because, (Irst, I desire to make personal equal ma nee of the members: second. that an understanding mieht be nrrlv-d at In relation to the duties of the com mittee which would prevent the unhappy occurrences recently witnessed; third, be cause I desire information from all or you as to the exact condition of affairs In the different counties of the stif'e which you fittingly represent; fourth, because H Is necessary that sins be taken. nn,l promptly, for the financial support of the campaign, and fifth, because I desire your approval of procedure, which might prob ably looK HKe usurpation the appoint ment of an executive committee. It was my thought that the state com mittee might with profit be modelled as to its powers and duties upon the national committee. The national committee has the right to appoint an executive com mittee. I (blnk It Is composvi or nine members, who shall be members of the national committee, or not connected with It. The importance of such an organiza tion consists of the unwillingness and dif ficulty of meimbers promptly assembling. Kor that reason during the national cam paign the executive committee alone sits at headquarters l illy, the national com mittee helng rarely cpll'd tCTeth- ex"e't at the Inauguration of the campaign. Mr. Quay said he was particularly gratified at such a lare attendance, It being the largest In his experience of state committees. Yntine-Rohlnsnn Resolution', Then John Russell Young and Con gressman Robinson offered resolutions, which were adopted, and which respec tively provided for the appointment of a committee of five to carry out the nlfdees fur reform which were em bodied by 'Mr. Quay In the platform of the late state convention and for the appointment of a committee to prepare rules that will regulate the party ma chinery. The latter commute? will re- port at the next meeting of the state committee, and If tine report snnn oe ao ornved the next state convention will be asked to ratify the rules.

Gilkeson Drnko tho Record. Chairman Quay Informed the com mittee that his predescessor, Colonel Ollkeson, had handed over to him $5, 000 when the state headquarters were transferred. ' "This," saM the chairman, "Is an un precedented thing in the history of state committees." Applause and laughter greeted this statement. This concluded the business proper, and Chairman Quay directed that tho roll be again called so that the com mitteemen couki aescrvoe tne political prospects In their respective counti 1 . n ,,U n wr.

They were all asked If they had answered for Durant at the roll call after Dr. Cheney's lecture on April 3, the day of Blanche turnout's disappearance, but no one gave a reply In the attlrmative. The most peculiar fact elicited h as that not one of the stu dents examined had any positive recol lection of an' one else being present at the lecture enoeot Or.

The excitement Incident to the election of ofllcers and the selecting of the place for holding the next convention hus kept more than one person up all night, and when the Convention oened this morning It looked like an even battle.

All went smoothly until the delegation from Philadelphia vetoed, when the trouble 'began. Threats came fast and furious, and It took at least ten minutes for Presi dent Brooks to call the convention to' order. All then went well until the name of (leorge J. Llewylen. of Pitts- ton, was reached and then another ob stacle was met. iMr. Llewylen claimed the right to vote, which right was con tradicted by at least 9 per cent, of the nit nubi-rs.

The on' -r was immediately accepted by Mr. tSoodman, and his sacrifice of himself after going to considerable trouble has won for him the respect of not only the Scranton firemen, but of all the leaders in the convention. At the morn ing session Hon. James Clarency, "The Firemen's Friend," was presented with a fine gold-headed cane, suitably In scribed. The oration tendered to Mr. Clarency was never before equalled In the city of Reading. Tonight the city Is crowded, and many delegations are yet to arrive. PRESENTS, FOR OFFICIALS.
