Indications That a Surprising
Departure Will Be Made in a
Few Days.
Special to tl Sci at, ton Tiibuue.
HairMmig, ia i,.,. s. The devel
opments of the past few dtivs indicate
that the senatorial battle Is draw Ins)
to a dose. The Dcmocintlc maiuureis
end In view. The Democtats have been
tojed with and jollied from the very
( oinnieiicemont of the fight. They have
been told that Quay Is a veiy. very bad
man and that he in ut the head of ti
veiy bad machine, and that tho thine,
to do in the interest of better govern
ment and public moials was to mo
vent his rotuin to the 1'nlted States
senate All this had a veiy pleasant
sound until the Domociats boenn ic
review the situation In nil Its phases,
Natumll y they came to the conclusion
that If Quay is a man of the charac
ter desciibed b the Independents, the
latter .should not hesitate to send u
reputable Democrat lo Washington lr
his place Tbis suggestion was not at
all acceptable to the bolteis, who it
alUe that they have gone too far, as)
it is in the way or disregarding party
pilnciples and consequently the har
monious feeling hetetofore existing be
tween the anil-Quay people and the
Democtats has boon almost entlielv
wiped out. Now the situation 1p le.ii.
The Deinciciats aio Incensed on account
of the lefloction on their paity. as Con
giossinan Slblev's statement Indicates,
and It is onlv a question of time when
thev will he "tinned loose" and un
hamptiod bx caucus Institutions, will
vote as theli individual views dictate.
This course would offend no honest
Demon at In tho state who has kept
tabs on all the reatuie.s of the fight.
The mlnorltv lepiesentatlv cs have vli
tu.illy been Infouiied by the Independ
ents that It would bo a calamity to
send a Detnoi nit to the 1'nlted Stati s
senate, and till- imputation will be io
