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 "
