(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.

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:

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

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. Stabbed as
he had hor-n in the hom e of his ft ion-Is,
treated with contempt xij h.-r-tility by
the most powerful and prainisieat Re
publicans in the senate, 1 0 ?:-.ve to the
ticket his fidclit; his devotion and his
brains with as complete an exthuslasm
as though he had been petted, favored
and promoted without stint.
"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.
He will return to the senate this time
without question and be will figure
there as cr.e of the most potent r;-;iiiti-tiea
in that equation cf lntc'Iect and

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.

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.
