(Special Correspondence.) Hnrri.sburg, Nov. 13. Col. M. S. Quay l:ns won hia fight for re-election to the United States senate. Ills victory was given him by the Republicans of Pennsylvania at the re cent election. A large majority of the members elected to the state legislature were chosen at the polls with the un derstanding that they would vote for the re-election of Col. Quay when the legislature reconvenes In January next. Col. Quay, in his last speech In hia stumping tour of the state, predicted that he would have 130 votes In the next legislature, and the result of the election fully bears out this statement. He will have at least that many unless the unscrupulous men who figure as part of the insurgent machine succeed In a desperate scheme to rob him of bis victory. It is not at all likely that they will Mirceed, however. Col. Quay, before leaving for a trip to Florida last week, announced that ho would have more than 22 votea over the number necessary to elect a United States senator, which Is 128. This would mean that he would have at least 150 votes. There are 254 votes In the legislature, which would give him a majority of 46 votes over the combin ed strength of the Democrats and the Insurgent Republicans In both the sen ate and the house. With this great lead it Is not possiblo that any amount of money could pre vent the re-election of Col. Quay. When the first ballot was taken In the senatorial contest two years ago Col. Quay had 112 votes, and after the IJagee men and the Martin men desert ed him he still had 93 votes, which was his strength at the end of the session on the 7Uth ballot. Things are different now, as the pre dictions of Col. Quay and his friends are not based upon gold brick promises of support from cheats dfcd men like Mageo and Martin. It is now known that Col. Quay, who trusted these men as friends, was made the victim of one of the greatest political conspiracies In the history of Pennsylvania politics. The Martin candidates for the legis lature received the money for their election expenses from friends of Col. Quay, and It was understood up to the very night that the Republican caucus was held that Martin and his friends would go Into the caucus. While not voting for Col. Quay on the first ballot, It was understood that they would ulti mately abide by the will of the major ity. In the contest for the election of members of the legislature just closed the lines were sharply drawn and pre cautions were taken to prevent a repe tition of the game played by Martin end Magee. Tbey were both recog nized as political enomies and they were treated accordingly. The stal wart Republicans proceeded upon the principle that they must put none but tried and true men on guard, and that they did. The fusion campaign which was waged by the Martin-FUnn-Wana-makcr-Guffey combine was a complete failure. Col. Quay's Mumping tour of the iti'.'-t; undoubtedly added materially to the strength of the stalwart Republi cans and put the regulars upon the ag gresBive in every section of the state where there was dancer to the ticket. 0 UJ Notable victories for the regulars In the eastern counties were made in Chester, where, under the leadership of T. Larry Eyre, a great victory was won In the election of five stalwart members of the legislature, including one sena tor, Dr. W. P. Snyder. The fight in this county was particularly bitter. All the power of the insurgent machine was drawn upon to help out the fusion combination. The Insurgent news papers of Philadelphia, carrying the Wanamaker advertisements, were em ployed to assail the regular Republi cans, and free copies of newspapers were distributed by thousands of copies to Influence the voters against the Re publican organization and its candi dates. The same tactics were resorted to in Montgomery county, where a strong insurgent organization was supposed to exist. In each of these counties the regulars won great victories. The Republican legislative ticket was elected In Chester county by over 2,500 majority and In Montgomery the entire Republican ticket was also successful, with the legislative candidates getting about 1,500 majority each. The Democratic-Boxer aggregation had plotted to carry Potter county against Quay. W. W. Crittenden was put up as a fusion candidate for senator in the Twenty-fifth district with two purposes In view. One, was to help Emery for congress in McKean and the other to defeat Raymond, the stalwart assembly candidate In Potter. Col. Quay made a speech at coudersport. 'the regular won. ' The people of Tltusville and Mead ville, In Crawford county, were given an opportunity to hear Col. Quay discuss ' of the ramrl"u in his matchless manner. Had the election been fairly conducted three members would have been Quayitrs. Fraud is al leged to have been resorted to, result ing in the success of two Democrats and one stalwart Republican. The election of the fusionlsts will be con tested, and the Republicans, who are considered to be honestly entitled to the seats, will in the end secure their rights. FUSION ROUTED IN LAWRENCE. New Castle, Lawrence county, was supposed to be a hotbed of fusion sen timent. Men who were managing the fight for the antis said that Lawrence was a "cinch." Col. Quay addressed a big gathering of Republicans In New Castle. The returns show that the reg ulars won by good majorities, and that the county gave the stalwart candidate for senator a large plurality. Mercer is in the same senatorial district with Lawrence. It elected three members of the house. Mr. Quay talked to the Re publicans gathered at Greenville. The straight ticket was successful and had about TOO votes to spare. Next comes the magnificent victory In Fayette, a county that two years ago returned three Democratic members. Quay visited Uniontown and preached a sermon to the Republicans. A trio of stalwarts will sit in the next house from "old Fiat." From Uniontown the spellbinder crossed the line into West moreland, Col. Quay making addresses at Scottdale and Mt. Pleasant. Every one knows that under the leadership of Col. George F. Huff, who was directed by Senator William Flinn, the insur gents made a hard fight to defeat Cyrus Woods for senator, James S. Beacom, George H. Stevens and W. S. Vandyke for assemblymen. All four were elected. FLINN'S FAILURE AS A LEADER. The other counties In Senator Fllnn'a territory visited by Quay were Jeffer s.n and Blair. Stalwarts were elect ed in both places. It is interesting to note here how re markably unsuccessful was Mr. Flinn in his latest attempt as a state leader. As one of the chief party workers it was his duty to carry these counties for fusion, and this summary shows how well he succeeded: County. Stalwart. Fusion. Erie 4 Lawrence 2 Mercer 4 Venango 1 1 Butler 3 Crawford 1 1 Fayette 3 Westmoreland 4 1 Cambria 3 Jefferson 1 Blair 2 Armstrong 2 30 2 that is made. to be right and In Erie, Mercer, Westmoreland, But ler and Cambria the senators are in cluded In the s.alwart count. The total for Quay will be increased to 32 when the two Republicans in Crawford gain their rights. In Venango George Ma loney, a Democrat, won because of his own popularity. The one man In Westmoreland was nominated nt the primaries and his name appeared on both Republican and Democratic tick ets. The stalwarts supported him be cause he was a regular nominee. Col. Quay made a speech in Hunting don when Senator H. C. Chisolm and J. C. Dunkle were attempting to break into the house by the fusion route. Stalwarts were elected. Thiscounty was visited by Wanamaker. The great Philaledrhta "reformer" was also In Blair. In Lebanon Quay EufTorcJ a net loss of one member. WASHINGTON POST'S TRIBUTE. The Washington Post, Independent, published the following editorial cn Col. Quay's great victory: "There arc many reasons why we re joice in the triumph which Mr. Quay has achieved in Pennsylvania. . In the first place bis credentials were im paired originally by one of the most flagrant and ignoble conspiracies that ever disgraced American politics. Through secret contrivances he was In dicted just at the moment when such indictment would injure and distress him. He was tried and acquitted as his enemies expected, but the incident enabled Wanamaker & Co. to postpone the action of the state legislature and to leave Mr. Quay ct the clr.se of the legislative session without the formal indorsement of a distinct majority anx ious to honor and reward him. "Mr. Quay's appointment by the gov ernor of Pennsylvania, who was famil iar with the facts and knew that Mr. Quay was the choice of five-sixths of the Republican party, was rejetc-d by the United States senate through the efforts of three or four members Re publicans and Mr. Quay lost his seat in consequence. The fact that ho 13 now once more in control of the parly organization, and that his re-election as United States senator is assured, ap peals to our grateful sense of justice. HIS WORK FOR NATIONAL TICKET "Not the least pleasant factor of the situation, however, Is to be found In the manly, Ioyni and unselfish manner in which Mr. Quay conducted the cam paign now happily terminated. He la bored with unaffected zeal and with all his quondam address and Bit ill for the success of (lie ticket. Weaker men wielding his power miht have exploit ed a perfectly legitimate senr.e of injury and labored for n petty vjigeauce. lie rolled up for his party a marnificent majority; preserved the proud tradi tions of the state, and gave McKinloy and Rooreveit the glory and prestige of an unesmpled victory.

"Under his management the Republi can party has achieved in Pennsylvania an exceptionally brilliant triumph. Ho labored to that end as though he had never received an injustice or a slight as though his party had placed him under Innumerable obligations and no unbiased man who has made him self familiar with the case will with hold from Mr. Quay his profound sym pathy and his sincete coiiM-atulstlnns.

(Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Nov. 13. Regular Re publicans v.-.'U organise both the state senate and the house of repreaunta tives when the legislature meets at Harrisburg In January next. Although the insurgents and tho Democrats aro already getting together to v.oik upon the same lines they followed at the last session, when they succeeded in deadlocking the Joint convention for the election of a United States senator, they cannot repeat their proceedings of last session. The regulars have thrown down the gauntlet to the fusion combine- and named their candidates for president pro tern of the senate aud for speaker of the houso. Dr. William P. Snyder, of Chester county, was elected president pro tern of the present (senate and he was chosen by a caucus of the Republican serfators, Including the insurgents, just prior to the adjournment of the legisla ture, to succeed h in: --.elf in the chair of the presiding ofilce'r of the senate, in the absence cf the lieutenant governor. He is now a candidate for re-election when the senate reconvenes ! : Jan uary, and he is assured of a majority of the senate In Ms favor. For the speakership of the bonne of representatives Hon. William T. Mar shall, .of Allegheny, has been agreed upon by the Republican leaders, and he will be supported by the stalwart mem bers of the house. Inasmuch n.i it will require but 103 votes to elect the speak er, and with the stalwarts having a considerable number of votes more than 103, it would appear that Mr. Marshall will have no trouble In land ing in the speaker's chair.

Cooper was made chairman of the united delegations and Repre sentative Ward R. Bliss, of Deluware county, olfered the resolutions of In dorsement of Mr. Marshall. Mr. Bliss was one of Ihe most potential members of the last legislature and was allied at that time with the insurgents. He had been an a.spiiant for tho speaker ship and seemed to think lie had not been fairly treated. He Ij now one of the most earne-t stalwarts.

THE COWBOY'S PROOF. HI MarkMtnnnahlp Showed That lie Had Not Shot to Kill. Jack Vance, a cowboy from the ranch of tho Butte Creek Cuttle company, win on trial nt Alliance, Neb., on a charge ol shooting nt u brnkemiui on the Burling ton milrond with intent to kill him. lie had received his pay a few days lieforo and was engaged nt the time of tho nhootliig in the picturesque pastime of painting the county red. Vance vehemently denied any intent to perforate the briikeman. lie told the court that, while it was true that he d!d take out his revolver and Kboot after the brakemnn hud pushed hitn oft the train, he was merely givim? a prearranged sig nal. He and 11 friend had been down ibe road a few miles and wanted to ride buck to the nearest station to the ranch. Real izing that if they were found by any of the train crew they would be put off, they had arranged Unit if one was put off the train he tdinuld notify hia partner by fir ing his revolver once. The trnlnninn, with visions of wliat he firmly believed was a narrow escape from death, shook his head, n,ud the jude looked unbelieving. Vance's cowboy friend corroborated the story, but, seeing that his tale failed to receive credence, tho defendant asked the court to please step outside. The Judge nsked what for. "I'll prove my innocence, your honor," Vnnee Knid. The court was curious ami went out side. So did the sheriff, lawyers and spectators. Vance pulled out his revolver and, holding a postage stamp between the fingers of his left hand, clipped off each corner in succession. Next he asked n spectator to suspend n hickory nut from a thread. Walking oft" 30 feet he wheeled nnd nt the first shot cut the thread. Tak ing six tacks he placed them loosely in a piece of wood. Tills he placed against a post 25 yards nwny. Borrowing a watch from a bystander, he opened the case for a mirror, shot with his back to the mark nnd drove eneh tack into the wood with out a miss. The brakemnn had been looking on In open mouthed wonder. As Vance con cluded the brakeman stepped up to tbc judire nnd, tapping him on the nrm, snid: "Yes, yon honor, I guess I wns mis taken. That man wasn't shooting at me." Denver Times. From the Clond. In the "Ifi-collections" of Sir Airr-mvi West is iie-beb-l on r,f n frind of his youth, Albert Smith b y name.
