The faT thtit Ihose in the conspiracy Bpains-t lulled Slates Senator Ouay still expect to use th2 proceedings against him in the courts as a means of manufacturing rentiment apainst him in their desperate efforts to defeat him for re-election, is well known. Though the machinations of the Win-amaker-GorJon-Graham poii.ical syn dicate have ihus far signally failed to c::-.inh tht character of the senior sen ator or to pve his friends any occasion for serious concern about his re-election l.y ilie legislature next month, it is be lieved that within the few remaining days of the political canvass for the henatorrOiip sensational plays to the Kalleries may he anticipated from this m.urce. There is no doubt, however, that the people have now become thor-c-uphly acquainted with the despicable and monstrous tactics that have been reported to In this fisht as:a!nFt Senator iiuav, which had Us inception in the cam'paipn waited asaiiit the election of Colonel Vii:iam A. Stone to the covernnrs-hip. While the methods now resorted to are more darinsr and con umplible, they are quite in line wit'i the policy inaugurated in the contest for the governorship, which was reail'y the skirmish struggle for the great prize which both Wanamaker and Gra ham have had in view f r years. Wan-iimaker-B many defeats in his aspira tions for public office, notably the sen a'orfUp. which went to Penrose, and ihe governorship, to which the Repub lican convention thoueht Colonel Stone n.ore enti'kd. have all been charged tip against Senator Quay, firahain s rdmlrers have held Colonel Quay re Fponsilde for his failure to pet the supreme court judir-Fhln. which was bestowed upon Judge Fell, for his sev eral defeats to go as a delegate to He publlcan national conventions and for blocking his aspirations for the gov ernorship and for the United States senatorship. and more recently for his humiliating turn down in his effort to succeed himself in the district attor ney's office. Gordon's suj pi rters, as is well known, charge Senator Quay with influencing Democratic leaders to de feat him for the nomination for gover nor at A;":-Titown. These facts are all familiar to Pennsyl vanlar.s, and It Is for these reasons that he persecution of Senator Quay Is generally looked upon as part of the most desperate game of politics that has ever been played in this or any ether state In the 1'nion. That Senator Quay should make the appeal he did to the suprene court was to be expected. The peculiar nature of the testimony .that was put forth by Graham, curiously kept private memo randa books, from which an expert could draw any deductions that the prosecution might desire: with the ashier of the bank, with whom it s claimed the alleged conspiracy took place., cold in his grave: with the re ceiver of the hank.

When the case wss presented to the t-uprcme court Justices Henry TV. 'Will lams and Henry Green promptly gav a rule upon the commonwealth to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not tie granted to bring the cas up tc the supreme court and that proceed Inps be stayed In the court of which the complaint was made. THE APPEAL FOR jrSTICE. Tn the petition filed by SenarorQuay. Ms son Fvichard and C J. Haywood, and upon which this writ was granted, they, among other things, said: Your petitioners respectfully pray your honorable court to issue Its writ ft certiorari to paid court of quarter ressions to bring up said indictments fr order that your honorable court may deal with the same in such a way as will enable them to secure what It is impossible for them to secure In the present position of affairs In the court. Ii which said indictments are pending tameiy. Justice and a fair and impar tial trial which is guaranteed to th?ir. by the constitution and laws of this commonwealth, and, in support of their raid prayer, aver as f- Hows: That these prosecutions were Insti gated and inspired chiefly by one James Gay Gordon, late a Judge cf the court of common pleas No. 2. cf Philadelphia county, acting in concert with other open and avowed po.iilcaJ enemies ot raid Matthew S. Quay. That upon tha failure cf the People's bank, about the Uth da, of March, lsss. the said James Gay Gordon, although at that-time a Judge of said court, acted as counsel for one James McManes, f resident of the said People's bank, and thus obtained possession of certain letters written by your petitioner relating solely to their own private business transactions and of certain private memoranda alleged to have been made by one John S. Hopkins, now deceased, formerly cash 1 r of said bank. FOIl POLITICAL PURPOSES. That the said Jam.s Gay Gordon had said letter and memoranda copied for the purpose of using them hereaft-r for political purposes, he. the said James Gay Gordon, being thi n a candi date for the nomination of the IK-mo- . cratic party for the office of governor of said commonwealth at the election held on the second Tuesday of Novem ber, 1SSS. That al houph th- sad James Gay Gordon had possession of the in formation contained in Faid lo'tt rs and memoranda from about the 2 :h dy cf March last, and although rz.u in'cma tion was from said date also in the p" session and knowledge of ore Thomas W. Barlow, as receiver of said People's bank, and as special first aw is ant dis trict attorney of said county, yet no complaint of any kind whatever was made against your petitioners tiiti' about the 3d day of OctoiK-r last, - her. an affidavit was made upon In ferns I v and belief by one Meyers, all-red to !e a detective in the office of the district attorney of this county (but who fai el to appear upon the hearing of said charges), upon which warrants were Is sued charging your petitioners with the offenses aforesaid. That said warrants were issued shortly before the recent state election, which invo'ved the elec- f tlon not only of a governor, but of mem bers of the legislature, who will be call ed upon at their next session to rote for Vnited States senator to succeed trw present incumbent, the said Matthew S. Quay, It belne then well known tha' id Matthew S. Quay would be a can didate for re-election to said office. In Instigating and procuring the Issuing of aid warrants said James Gay Gordon s Inspired by express rrfd personal vane ariM ths aafd MaTtksw 9. j Quay, as is evidenced hy ths fart that the said james uay uoraon puunciy charged said Matthew S. Quay with having been largely instrumental In pre venting the nomination of him. the said James Gay Gordon, for the office of governor at the PenfcrHtic state con- i vention held at Altooita prior to the said ! election. That on or about the 2Cd day of November. the said James Gay Gordon resigned from his office as Judge. IRREGULAR PROCEEDINGS. That while said Indictment were i being considered by the grand Jury cf said county an application was made by the district attorney for attach ments against th cashier of a national bank of Allegheny county and agains; the cashier of a bank in Beaver. Pa., on the ground that said persons, acting under the advice of the regular counsel of said banks respectively, declined to bring the books of said banks to the city of Philadelphia for examination. Said application was rmt maje to the Judge who had been regularly assigned to hold, and who was then and there holding the regular court of quarter sessions which then and there had sole Jurisdiction over said grand Jury and of all questions relating to- the busi ness and proceedings of said grand J Jury, but was improj-erly and Irregu larly made to the said James Gay Gor don, who was on that day holding a special session of the court of quarter sessions for the trial of bail rases only. Nevertheless, said James Gay Gordon lrrtgularly and improperly heard said application and peremptorily ordered said witnesses to appear before said grand Jury under penalty of an attach ment for contempt. That a few days later, on Wednesday, the 23d day of Novemler. 19S. your petitioners were notifed to appear in court No. 64S be fore, the said James Gay Gordon for the purpose of pleading or demurring to the bills of indictment which had been theretofore found against them, al though Ihe said James Gay Gordon had not been regulariy assigned to hold said court, but by reason of his resignation and retirement from the bench on the day named for the appearance of de fendants as aforesaid, said court was without a regualrly assigned Judge to hear pending cases. GORDON'S PECULIAR ACTIONS. That on the said 23 1 day of Novem 1. r. 1 H!v, the Hon. Thomas K. Finletter. president judge of the court of common pleas No. 3 tof which court the said James Gay Gordon had been thereto fore a member), appeared in said court of quarter sessions and proceeded to preside over said court, although he was not the judge who had been duly and regularly assigned to hold said court. That one Thomas K. Finletter, a son of the said Hon. Thomas K. Fin letter. was at that time, and had been theretofore, an assistant district at torney of this county, and had been as signed to the duty of taking profession al charte of the above indictments la conjunction with the district attorney. That on the day last mentioned ynui petitioners presented to the said court their demurrers t- the bills of indict ment Nos. 32S. 3.-S, 30 and 331 (copiei of vvhiih are hereto attached), which oemurrers were subsequently overruled by the said Hon. Thomas K. Finletter who rendered in connection therewith the opinion hereto attached. That sale opinion was largely based upon the er roneous lefc-al proposition that a person charged with P. supposed criminal of fense has no right, under the constitu tion and laws of this commonwealth, to question the sufficiency of an indict ment found against him, but must be subjected to the disgrace, expense, in convenience and peril of a trial before a Jury, because after conviction he may possibly be able to successfully raise the question as to the sufficiency of such an indictment upon a motion In arrest of judgment. That in said opinion overruling said demurrers said judge In commenting upon and condemning the action of your petitioners and filing said demur rers used language which was wholly uncalled for. and which would natur ally be interpreted by the community as an expression of the belief, on the part of said Judge, in the guilt of your petitioners, and which netessarly tend ed to excite undue prejudice against them inthe minds of th" people in the community and thereby to prevent their obta n'.ng a fair and impartial trial. That with the said demurrers, jour petitioner. Benjamin A. Haywood, presented a motion to quash said in dictment No. 332 (a copy of which is hereta sitached). That the said Hon. Thomas K. Finletter, in his said opin ion, decided that the facts urged in the support of the motion to quash could hereafter he presented in arrest of judgment, and this, notwithstanding the fact tat the act of assembly es pecially provides that all such motions must be i;iaX prior to plea pleaded. UNDUE HASTE CHARGED. That immediately after the rendering: cf said of inion. to wit, on Thursday, Iec. 1. application was made by the oisirict attorney to said Judge to fix the earlrst possible day for a trial of said defendants, and. although said de fendants, through their counsel, asked for a reasonable time in which to have an opportunity to have the books and p;fpcrs of said People's bank examined by experts, and although, as your peti tioners are informed and llieve. "about two months were required by the ex perts employed by the district attorney to examine the books and papers in so fur as they related to said transactions referred to in said Indictments, said Judge peremptorily ordered that the trial of your petitioners should proceed on the Tuesday following, to wit, the 6ih day of December, thereby allowing tut three working days for an exam ination of said books and papers; and said judge thereupon then and there publicly stated, in effect, that your petitioners would have all the time to which they were entitled for such ex amination of said looks and papers upon their being produced In court up on the trial of said case. Said order was, however, subsequently modified by said Judpe extending the time until Monday. Ixh-. 12. on aerount of the cn pagemcnt of one of petitioners' counsel in the United States court, thereby al lowing your petitioners' Tor said ex amination of said books and papers but nine working days: notwithstand ing the fact, as has been previously averred, that nearly two months were required by the common wealth's ex perts for such examination. While makins such examination of said books and papers the extierts employed by your petitioners discovered that a larg number of checks, notes, bills, papers and memoranda forming part of the records cf said People's bank were missing and were locked up in the of fice of the district attorney, and that without an inspection , f pu;er It wr.s absolutely impossible for them to understand certain entries in the books of said bank relating thereto. Your petitioners, through their coun sel, requested an opportunity to exam ine said papers in the district attorney's office and were peremptorily refuseJ such permission. Your petitioners aver that the said refusal by the court to allow them proper time for an investi gation and examination of said books and papers and the said refusal by the said district attorney to permit them to examine said papers in his custody constitute an absolute denial of Justice to them. PREJUDICE CREATED. Tour petitioners aver that by reason t t the said action of the said James Gsy Gordon, while he was a Judge, and by reason of the said action and deci sion of the Hon. Thomas K. . Finletter, whose affiliation with the said James Guy Gordon Is well known, such preju dice has naturally been created In the body of the community against your pe tl; loners that H will be Impossible for tfcem to obtain a fair and impartial frtal at this time In the said court of quarter sessions for the county of Philadelphia. That it Is not and never has been pretended by anybody that either the commonwealth of Pennsylvania or said People's bank or any other person ever lost, or could have lost, one penny by reason of any transaction referred tc In said indictments, and that in none of said indictments are the defendants, or either of them, charged with any Intent to defraud the said common wealth or said People's bank or any other person In any manner whatso ever. Ncr were said prosecutions in stituted or Inspired by any person or persons on behalf of the commonwealth or said People's bank or of any person claiming to have lieen Injured In any way by reason of any said supposed transactions referred to in said Indict ments.

QUAY'S POLITICAL ENEMIES. That the further prosecution of said Indictment Is now being unduly pressed r.ot in the lnttrest of justice, but by a conspiracy of the political enemies of salJ Matthew S. Quay, for the sole pur pose of unduly-influencing, prejudicing and intimidating the members of the general assembly In their choice ot a successor to said Matthew S. Quay in the senate of the United States; and that to said end said conspirators are causing to appear almost daily In the various newspapers of this county li belous, defamatory and malicious com ments upon said case for the purpose ot making It impossible for your petition ers to obtain a fair and Impartial trial. and are endeavoring by various unlaw ful means to secure a disagreement ot the Jury before which said cases will be tried, if they fail to secure a convic tlon. so that it is al this time Impossi hie for your peiirloners to secure that fair and impartial trial which Is guar anteed to them and all other citizens by the constitution and laws of this com- jnenwea'th. That by reason of the premises, and for the further reason that your peti tioner, Matthew S. Quay, is a candidate tor the United States senate at the com ing session of the general assembly of fhe slate of Pennsylvania, the newspa pers of the city of Philadelphia, with ,-ossibiy one exception, have been daily .-ublishing such Inflammatory, scandal ous, false and defamatory statements relative to your petitioners and to the aid charges that such undue prejudice nas been excited in the public mind that it is impossible for them at this time to secure a fair and impartial trial upon saiJ charges. Senator Quay Is anxious that the case be disposed of promptly, and with an Impartial court lias no concern about LU prompt acquittal.

Political events ; of the past week have so crowded upon j the heeis of each other that one searee j ly knows which to take up first. Per- ziaps lue uiwi iimi L.mift vviu. ..... . was the gathering of Democrats for which John II. Fow. of Philadelphia, was responsible. Fow is a unique char acter. His Democracy does not welh heavily upon his broad shoulders at any time. He comes back to the house this year with a nondescript sort of a political standing. He was not only the Democratic candidate for the leg islature In his district, but he also had the Republican, the Prohibition and the Honest Government party nominations. There are few more crafty politicians In the state than Fow. Why he called the Democratic members and senators together probably no one but himself will ever be truly certain. That the meeting was called ostensibly to pro mote the Wanamaker fusion scheme far the organization of the legislature and the election of a fusion candidate for United States senator we all know. That it was a most complete fizzle Is also a fact. That it gave the fusion scheme a terrible black eye is generally admitted. And now where does Fow comejn? There are those mean enough to insinuate that Fow knew It was to be a failure beYore it was called, and that Fow la more than ever endeared to the Republican leaders who will have the distribution of the patronage on "the hill." and .ho will also make up the committee appointments for the speaker of the house. All the Demo crats who were deluded into coming up here to attend Fo's fake fusion meeting are anxious to see what good committees Fow will be placed on. Those who did not come are Just as much Interested in the same subject. Hereafter the Democratic members propose to look out for themselves, SrCCEPSFCL FUSION IMPOSSIBLE. No one who understands the situation has any idea that there Is the slightest chance of successful fusion on either the speakership or the senatorshlp. Not only are the Ouffey leaders and the Gurjon lieutenants Jealous of each other, but nearly every member of the Democratic delegation Is eager to get recognition from the Republican speak er, and they are all suspicious of each sihers every movement. The fact that none of the older members in the Dem ocratic delegation believes the anti Quay Republicans can show anything like the number of votes necessary to make up the fusion majority on the speakership makes them all hesitate about going Into a losing deal. ' Guffey has got the senatorial bee buzzing under his sombrero at a lively rate. He has already spent a fortune in the canvass, and he is givMng out some sort of an interview or signed statement every other day in order to give the Republicans the impression that the Democrats are a unit for fu ion. He has State-Chairman Carman nelping him to create sentiment with the same tactics. They are both talk ing themselves hoarse. But Oarman In his latest interview has hurt rather than helped Gufey's cause. He tells the Democrats that in view of the great national political issues involved in the election of a United States senator they must not think or voting for any Re publican for Quay's seat. They must draw the line in the fusion negotia tions when It comes to electing a mem ber of the United States s nate. This interview of Garman's has brought the true sirnificance of the present political situation right home to the Republicans of Pennsylvania. They see the Democrats standing firm ly and loyally by their free trade, free silver and antl-McKinley policy and resolutely refusing to consider any proposition from the anti-Quay Repub licans to desert their Democratic stand ard. The Democrats have called a caucus to be held here on Monday, Jan. 2, and It will then become apparent that the Wanamaker scheme cannot be carried out. Republican senators and members who have been here dur ing the last week picking out their seats and selecting their boarding places for the session all report that their constituents demand that there shall be no weakening or wavering of the Republican party lines In either th organization of the legislature or the election of a United States senator. They all agree that any Republican who fails to participate in the regu larly called caucus of his party will !.e politically ostracised, not only by thir Republican Colleagues here, but by his constituents at home. FARR HAS THE CALL. The contest for the Republican cau cus nomination for speaker of the house, which will be equivalent to an election, has, In the opinion of many, been practically decided. While Ward R. Bliss, of Delaware; Charles E. Voor hecs. of Philadelphia: Frank McClain. of Lancaster, and William Marshall, of Allegheny, are still in the race, all indications point to an agreement among the leaders of different elements upon Representative John R. Farr, of Lackawanna county. Farr, who Is widely known as the advocate of com pulsory education and of the free school book legislation. Is a newspaper man by profession. He has had the experience of several terms in the house and would make an acceptable speaker. He has announced a platform In which he says that if elected he will favor a short session, that all elements in the Republican party shall be treat ed In a fair and manly manner, and that it will be his aim to promote har mony In the party. Farr voted for Wanamaker for United States senator, and on this account many radical Quay men were loth to turn in for him for speaVer. In line with the policy de termined upon by the party leaders, who wish to cement the Republican or ganization, c!l hands will probably soon recognize the availability of Farr and give him cordial support. Senator Quay dec-lares that he does not propose to advocate the selection of any canr didate for sreaker. but that he would like to see the caucus unanimous in its choice, fpcretary of the Common wealth Martin was the first leader to publicly declare for Farr for speaker, and the Rjcks county delegation, through Ranking Commissioner Glir keson. quickly followed suit. Others have s'nee been having themselves en rolled. An ln:er-s!ing feature cf Fair's cam-'hlacy Is ihat it tal eg into the Re publican caucus In his Interest a num ber f anti-Quay men. while the Quay men will, cf cc.urse. all participate In the caucus. As matters stand today it Is m't li" e'y that there will be more than four or five Republicans remain out of the caucus on the speakership. I The Wanamaker men are still back- ' lng Ccnercl Koontz, of Somerset,' for rpeal-er. They have no Idea of making much of a showing In the Republican caucus, and their on'y hope of success lies in pelting enough Republicans who, wl'h the Democrats, can make up the necessary 103 votes. If the Democrats could all unite on Koontz. which la very improbable, they would then have to get 23 Republicans to remain out of the Repub'lcan caucus and make an alliance wbh the Democracy, which is an utter Impossibility. The Rej uUk arswM elect t-ielr speak? 1 er, probahly John I'.. Farr of Lacka wanna, and a stalwart Republican will be sent to the I'n'ted States senate; aud f.ls name Is Matthew Btanley Quay.

Wanamaker Aicent in the Interest of Alliance With the Democracy Fall to Hrenk Throuuli tbe Linen of the Grand Old 1'arty. (Special Oorresponder.ee.) Philadelphia, Roc 20. With the as sembling of the legislature but a few days off, the Republican members of both the senate and the house realize that they will shortly be called upon to show their party colors and assert their Republicanism In assuming control of both branches of the general assembly. In the name of their party. That this will be done and that both senate and house will be organized on straight Republican lines. and that the Republican caucus will name the next United States senator from Pennsylvania id apparent to all who have come In touch with Re publican senators and representatives within the last week. The spectacle of Democratic dissensions presented at Harrisburg the other day. when the Gordonites and the Guffeyites were at each other's throats, and when John H. Fow's fusion conference was given a chilling frost by the action of Guf fey and his lieutenants in keeping Democrats away from the meeting, has impressed Republicans everywhere. The latter realize that this Is a year when It Is Important that there shall be Re publican harmony. No better evidence of this fact could be given than the' dis mal failure the Wanamaker agents have made in their attempts to get Republicans to declare that they will not go Into the Republican caucus, and that thev will not support Senator Quay for re-election. Of course, the few anti-Quay men who were elected avowedly against the senior senator are not expected to vote for him. With but few exceptions, scarcely half a dozen, however, they will go into the Republi can caucus. Up to date the Wanama ker agents have not gotten a singlo Republican senator or representative to declare against Senator Quay who had not been classed as opposed to him. With the purpose of creating the Im pression that there is a great sentiment against Senator Quay, the Wanamaker literary bureau Is flooding the state with articles containing interviews with men like JefTeries of Chester. Sexton of Montgomery and Stahle of Blair, not one of whom was on the Republican ticket, but all of them were elected by combinations of the Swallow and Denw ocratic vote. To these they have added one Republican state senator, Henry, of Philadelphia, and only four straighout Republican members of the houe Coray of Luzerne, Mackey of Lacka wanna. Allen and Laubach of Philadel phia, the latter being an employe In the shoe department cf Wanamaker's store. These were all elected as anti-Quay men and are not Included In the futi mates which give Senator Quay a bi4 majority In the Republican caucus. D-. Mackey has announced that he wbl vote for John R. Farr. ot Lackawanna, the harmony candidate for speaker, as will others who are outspoken anti Quay men. Followers cf both Martin and Magee have been importuned by the Wanamaker emissaries to declare against Quay. or. at least, decline to go Into the Republican caucus, hut the have steadfastly refused to do any thing of the kind. A number of leading Republican members of both the senate and the house have been in this city during the last few days, and they have all ex pressed themselves In the most emphat ic terms as to the sentiment In the Re publican party on this question. Sena tor James O. Mitchell, of Jefferson county, than whom there Is probably no closer friend of Governor-elect Ston-; in the state senate, spoke freely when asked his views on this matter. A POLITICAL CONSPIRACY. "The motives that prompt the perse cution of Senator Quay by thes; behind this so-called conspiracy case," said he, "are understood by the people In r.iy section of the state. They realize that this is but part and parcel of the polit ical campaign which has been vvased by the retainers of Wanamakerlsm dur ing the last three years. Republicans everywhere recognize that Senator Quay is charged with responsll.ill:y for blocking the political ambitions of a coterie of politicians, whone disap pointments and resentments are given vent to in these proceedings. It Is rU dlculous to assume that any consider able number of men can be inlu need by the- actions of these disgruntl 'd in dividuals, and it is quite absurd to Imagine that members of the bgixla ture will for a moment think cf cepart Ir.g from the time honored practices and custcms of the Repub lean party In the organization cf the general as sembly. The party spiiit in my dKri:t Is o strong that If any man ele-ted upon the Republican ticket shru'd go to Harrlsburg and fail to pirt!cpat tn and abide by the action cf the regu'ar Republican party caucus J- would re turn home to his conrii uen:s at hit periL" Another Influential rin'w-r of th.r Senate and a formidable candidate for president pro tern, of tli.-t bcoy, Sen ator William P. Snyder, cf Ches er county, was quite as en phytic l:j dis cussing the Fame rub'rHt.

I the selection of a Republican candl- date for the United States senate, or j the consideration of any other question in which vital matters of party policy are involved. Every Republican sena tor or representative sent to Harrisburg i3 commissioned by his party to act for and represent the Republican voters of his district f r the advancement of the Interests of the Republican party. Any man sr d-f-ntei who frills to co-oper te with bis r.-.v'ublt.-an colleagues, and who is riot vi:.'ing to abide by the ac tion of a r-irjoii y of recuiarly chosen and acvredit-.d R.-pubT'can memljers or senator b "nrr.ts a guerrilla, and tan no longer be Considered nor treatci as a Repulican. Hf H recreant to hi party's trust and disloyal t-v the Repub lican ori;arization, whiih honored him with his nomination and confided in his Integrity ana loyalty to the prlncii lea cf Republicanism. There is not a par ticle of doubt that both houses will he" organized without the slightest dif ficulty upon Republican i.nes, and that Colonel Quay will be re-elected to the United States senat-.'- Among those prominently mentioned for the speakership of the hou.-e is Representative William C. Krep. of Franklin. Mr. Kreps is recognised as a Republican of the dyed in the wool brand, and despite the fact that In for mer jvars Franklin has been inclined to favor independents. Kreps ran ahead of his tbket this year, ar.d the county gave the nhoie Republican ticket mag nificent support. FOR STALWART REPUBLICANISM. "I am a stalwart Republican," said Reprerentative Kreps, "and I believe that the house will be organized in strict accordance with stalwart Re publicanism, ity name has been men tioned In ronn.Vtion with the speaker ship and I appreciate the compliment that has been paid me by the kind things that have been said in the news papers and by my colleagues. Of course I shall abide by the action of the caucus, and if I shall fail to re ceive the votes of a majority I shall gracefully sufrport the successful can didate. I am satisfied from inquiry 1 have made in connection with my can didicy that there can not possibly be tnni than half a dozen so-called Re. publican members of the house who have any sympathy with or are se riously considering the question of fu slon with the Democrats. I am sur- that when the time arrives for actii n even these few disgruntled niemlers will be found supporting the caucus nominee for speaker." "This will lie my first sess'on In the legislature," remarked Rer.resentatlv? Horace J. Thompson. "I come from that rock ribbed center of Repub'lean ism. Indiana county. I know that If 1 failed to take part in any Republican caucus that might be called during my term I could not expect any further honors at the hands of Republicans of my county, where the Repub'lean m Jority Is larper than the Democratic vote. 1 have talkfd with a number of members of the house from different sections of the state, many of whom I have conversed with during my visits to this city. I have not met a single Republican member that has not sai 1 he proposes to participate in the K publican caucuses on both the speaker ship and the I'nited States senatorshlp and abide by the action of the major ity. There can be no mistaking the sentiment of the Republicans of Penn sylvania, as expressed at the last gen eral election. They were determined that the Republican party and its prin clplrs should tilumi h. as evidi-nrrl by th" splcrd'd vce cast for the Re publican n nin e for governor. Co'.ort"! William A.
