Mr. Vnn Valkenbeig claims Mr. Quay's strength was at high tldo when ho received 113 vote's, which Is Just fouiteen short ot a majority. Against him ate 129 vote, S" are Demo ciats and 52 anti-Quay ltepubllcnns. "Tho Quay managers have abandoned all hope of securing a slnglo ote from the anti-Quay ranks, he adds. "Hut while admitting that no Democrat will vote directly for Quay at any stage of the contest, they assert with an air of mystery lathet than confidence, that at the proper time enough Democrat will bo found to supply the necessary 14 votes that Senator Quay must have to elect him. The Quay machine Is bankrupt In the matter of political pa ttonage. All the uttempts of the Quay people to cteate friction between the Democrats and the nntl-Quayites luivo slgnully failed. Senator Quay massed all his strength to bieik the anti-Quay lines last Wednesday and failed. Ho has given oruets that every effort might be made to break them next Tuesday, but he will again fall.

Governor Stono gave the following signed statement this evening on the senatorial situa tion: ' My opinion has not changed since I expressed the belief, after the action of the caucus making Colonel Quay, the nominee ot the Republican party for Cnlted States sen.itoi, that ho would be ie-elected. Ills stippoiters have not had a bieak In their lines since that time and they hae made gains. Pennsjlvniila Is a Republican state, and unless there) aio semie ser ious leai-ons why a legulnily nominated candidate of the Republican paity in the t tate should not be elected, it is usual) v safe to predict that he will win.
