Owen Irish, Seranton, Pa., Aug, 18, 189?. THINKS THAT QUAY ISJJNDECIDED GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE CLERK TALKS ON THE CAMPAIGN. Strong Torces That Aro Backing Congressman Connell in His Fight to Secure n Lackawanna Represen tation on tho Supreme Bench The Fact That Brown Is Acceptable to tho Insurgents Is Pointed Out to Be a Reason Why Quay Should Not Favor Him. The following is portion of an Inter view with S. A. Uachaieh, executive clerk to Governor Stone, published In the Allentown Dally Leader. It Is In- teiestlng fiom the fact that It corner from one so close to the governor. "The state leaders are undecided about tho supreme coutt nomination with Quay appealing to lean toward lluv Brown of Lancaster, and the or ganization leaders, Stone, Elkln, Dur ham, Connell nnd the lest, In favor of Archb.ild of Seranton or some other equally good man. Theie Isn't any quanel about it, though, and there won't be. Quay, as the leader of the organisation, will eventually name the man. Just at piesent tho Impression has, gone forth that ho would name Pi own. If his most faithful lleutcn nuts and best fi lends didn't advise him strongly against any such slectlon. It has resolved Itself Into n question of good politics, nnd there Isn't any doubt that the final choice will be a wise one. "Whv does It take to long to come to a decision?" THINK HE WAXTS BROWN. "Several of the papers have made It appear as If Quay, for many rea sons, political nnd some perhaps per sonal, thinks it best to nominate Brown. With Bamelt's nomination almost nn assured thing, Elkin, who Is Barnett's close friend, gets what ho wnntr. Durham Is satisfied from a political standpoint with his friend Adams pretty sure of being landed. But. under this newspaper plan to noml'iate Blown. Connell. the most nble nnd persistent lieutenant Quay has ever had In the northeastern part of the state. Is left out In the cold See what Connell has done For the past four vears he has spent his time nnd money In bringing one northeastern county after nnother Into tho Quay column Therefore he abks and his friends asks with him, "Isn't Connell entitled to Archbald's nomination, so he can go back and say, 'See, It pays to be an organization men. Whpn wo wnnt a good candidate nominated Quay Is with us. REGFLARS AGAINST HIM. "Another reason why the regulars nre not In favor of Blown Is because Magee and the Insurgents nie too well satisfied with him. This makes the regulars suspicious. Thsy therefore nsk of Quay, "Why should the leadeis even consider a man under suspicion, when It is equally easy to nominate a stnlwart like Archibald ,' "There you have the situation on It really exists But for the rake of ar gument, let us assume that Quay fuv ors Brown Then what will tho orBan Izatlin gain" Lancaster county, ns for location. Is wrong for the supreme judgshlp. with nnother cindidnto, Ad ams for superior court, in nlmnst an adjoining county leaving the entire northeastern tier of counties without representation on the state ticket, and at present with no reprcsenatlve on the supreme bench " ARE NOT REAL JOURNALISTS.
