(Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. Dec. 11. All doubts about tha ability cf the stalwart Re publicans to organize both branches of tha leetslrture have been removed, since more than a majority of the members in each chamber have gone on record over their own signatures for the candidates of the stalwarts for presiding officers of those bodies. The InsnrKeuts have practically given up the fisl.t against Senutor W. P. Snyder, of Chester county, for presi dent pro tern, of the state senate. It Is Intimated that In order to cover his retreat Senator William Flinn, the leader of the Insurgents, will make the motion for the election of Dr. Snyder to succeed himself as presiding officer of the senate In the absence of the lieutenant governor. Flinn, at the close of the last session of the senate, when it became necessary to elect a presiding officer who would officiate during the recess, placed Dr. Snyder In nomina tion In the Republican caucus, and he received every vote, Including those of the insurgents. Now, since the three members of the state senate whom the Insurgents put in the doubtful list Senator Sproul of Delaware, Vaughnn of Lackawanna and Slueh'.brmir.pr cf Allegheny have all publicly declined in favor of Dr. Sny der, Flinn, reeopniKlng the handwrit ing on the wall, is about to get In line for Snyder and p.nnnunre that tho in surants br.ve nothing against him, and would like to sea hlra elected. LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. The facts are that the Insurgents found that some cf their number who nspiie to re-vlertlon did not propose to follow Flinn's original plan and vote for J. Henry Cochran, a Democrat, for president pro tern, of the senate. They are all human, and they all ap preciate the fact that If they would sell out the Republican candidate for president of the senate In favor of a Democrat they could never hope for re-election in their respective districts. Thts would be the biggest card that their political opponents could play against hem. The setUement of the contest In the state senat came along about the same time that the Insurgents and the Democrats in the houop discovered that It would be Impossible for them to unite upon any candidate for speaker. Neither Guffey nor any one else could get all the Democratic members to agree upon an Insurgent Republican for speaker, and neither Martin, Flinn nor Wanamaker could get all the so-called Insurgents to vote for a Democrat for speaker against the stalwart Republi can candidate. Several of the most prominent insurgents in the last legis lature have come out openly in favor of the election of Representative W. T. Marshall, of Allegheny, for speaker of the house. Some of them are still opposed to the election of Col. Quay, but It Is believed that they will not continue to oppose him when the time comen to ballot on the United States enatorshlp. They do not propose to get left In the matter of the distribution of the patronage of the house of representa tives, which will hn allotted by the leaders of the Republican organization, nor do they wish to figure In unimpor tant places on the committee lists. TV.py all feel that their futures depend upon their being in a position cf In fluence auj importance, and that they must not allow their eronal animosi ties or the revengeful pptrlta of a few dlsBTW.tle.l leaders to take them out side of the Republican lines. BLISS WITH THE REGULARS. Representative Ward R. Bliss, of Delaware county, who was a eonsnle- 1 , P ONLY. uous ngv.ro in tne ueadiock on tr.e United States senatorship two years ago, has come to tho front as one of the leaders In tho cause of the regulars, and he Is very active in the canvass in fnvor of the election of Representative Marshall for the speakership. He was regarded as the most alert and the brainiest of the insurgents in the last session. He acted is presiding officer of their meetings in the house and fought as well as he knerv how against the re-election of Col. Quay. He went home sounded the sentiments of the Republicans of the district and con cluded that they now favor the election of Col. Quay. He was renominated without opposition from the regulars, and he is now on the firing lino of the stalwarts, and will be wtth them when they win their victory at Harrlsburg next month. The Insurgents are still bluffing In their newspaper war on Col. Quay. They nre making all sorts of false charges about the use of money by the regulars, yet they do not seem to think of the fact that tho people know that were It not for the little coterie of monied men who are keeping the in surgent midline well greased with fat contributions there would be no or ganizations of Insurgents. Money has been the principal stock in trade cf tho insurgents since they started out, and they have spent hundreds of thousands cf dollars In a desperate but fruitless campaign against the Beaver stateman. Their newspaper bureau Is perhaps one of their strongest assets. INSURG ENT N EWSPAPER COMBINE Some of the antics of the insurgent newspapers would be very amusing to a render conversant with the true sit uation if their hypocrisy was not so transparent and contemptible. As only one instance, mark the publication of an aliened list of Quay, anti-Quay and doubtful members of both senate and bmin tfct appeared in a Philndelohia evening paper unfriendly to Senator Quay one day last week. It this alleged list, after grotesquely arranging Quay members In the antl Quay list and vice versa, and classing In the doubtful list men who have never wavered In their allegiance to Senator Quay, and who have repeatedly showed their loyalty to him in the most trying times, they finally recapit ulated them so as to give the senator 22 votes In the house, making a total of 118 votes, or nine short of the requi site number for election. It is noticeable that the particular anti-Quay paper did not have the or frontery to claim that this was an est! mate furnished by the friends of the distinguished senator. The list Is adrotly drawn with two or three well known anti-Quay men In the Quay column, and with thh n i cleus the insurgents afterward tear it in shreds. In other words, they use this particular paper to set up a ridic ulous ' straw man." no doubt manu factured to order by the political liars of their own original insurgent news bureau. Having themselves brought forth this prodigy, watch how the bold and valiant papers carrying that "wonder fully production" full page "ad." swoop down on their own creation like an eagle on Its prey. FIGHTING A STRAW MAN. They have charged these wludmill of the Quixotic fancy so often and so disastrously in soiid squadron that this time they change their tactics and give the place of honor (?) to the morning organ that for many years has been willing to publish anything, however false or untrue, that Its hatred conceiv ed would injure the one man in Penn sylvania it has hoped to."-crush and ruin. So it, on the following day, takes a "grand fall" out of the "straw man." and when it victoriously leaves the field it would seem that it was so thoroughly battered that it could not stand another shock from Its own pa rents, especially. But after they have all gone up against it, the "yellowest of the yel low" waits for a day, and then, "ye gods," how it does batter the wreck that Is left of the child of its bosom. "Infanticide Is defined by law to be the murder of a newly born child." and if tho Insurgent press of this city are not guilty then such a crime was never committed not only guilty in the general sense, but guilty of bring ing it into the world with the express, premeditated and willful purpose of slaying it in cold blood. It, of course, deliberately lies when it ssys that the llHt published was Col. Quay's list. They know and every one knows that neither the wimtor nor any of his friends has evr published any list. They knew it was their vry own. They also summarize or recapitulate their own falsehoods In this wv; Mi yuay 8 victory Dtazoned in his or gans the morning after election, Nov. the 150, or 22 more than a majority; Pec. 6, 113. or 15 less than a majority.

It Is pitifully cheap lying, because when analysed It U so ransparent. Its hypocrisy. Its cant, its building of an argument on pre mises wholly and willfully false, only leads their conclusion back into the same mire and filth of the rankest un truthfulness from which they derived their false premfre- TOOMBS AND STEPHENS, A Frlendnhlp Thnt Wn of Great Cse to the Former. Dr. F. IT. Orcne told nie several good stories about our old time statesmen. Among other anecdotes and incidents the doctor gave me some plqunnt reminis cences of Toombs and Stephens. Toombs always tried to impress peop'.a with the belief thnt his genius made him equal to any emergency- Even when he studied hard or availed himself of the labor of others he encouraged the idea that his most splendid efforts were the result of the inspiration of the moment, entirely offhand, without nny special prep aration for the occasion. Once, when a very important debate was going on in the federal congress, Toombs made a magnificent speech which attracted everybody's attention. It was not only an eloquent speech, but it was remarkable for its masterly array of facts aud figures and its convincing ar guments. "l'ou must have devoted considerable time to its preparation," said one of the statesmen's admirers. "Well, I gave about two hours to it," Toombs replied, with a careless, Indiffer ent air. Somebody repeated this to Stephens in the presence of several congressmen. "Two hours!" he exclaimed, somewhat irritably. "Prepared that speech in two hours, did he? I spent two weeks on it. That's all I care to say." Stephens had patiently and laboriously collected the statistics, and Toombs had merely added the flourishes. The two great Georgians attended a na tional Democratic convention shortly be fore the war, and Stephens was confined to his bed just when he could least afford to be laid up. After an important caucus Toombs vis ited his friend and sat down by his bed side. "Aleck," lie said, "it was proposed to nominate you for vice president, but I told them that you did not want the office and would decline the nomination, so they took the other man." "Toombs." replied the invalid, "when you told thein that you know yon were lying!" Atlanta Constitution. TWO WAITERS. Difference Between 5eKro Server In Northern nnd Sonthern HoteU. If you have traveled, you must certain ly have noticed the wide difference be tween negro waiters of southern nnd northern hotels. In the north the waiter Is stiff, rigid and supercilious. He takes your order condescendingly nnd briskly betakes him self to the cnlinnry regions with the same. He stands with folded arms and scornful expression at some little dis tance, watching, however, for an oppor tunity to leap forward nnd pretend to an ticipate your wants. And when he brings your change you are certain to note that it is laid upon a plate nnd that one particular quarter h noticeably detached from Its fellows. In the south the waiter shuHles back to the kitchen and returns with your meal, to which he has added some little deli cney of his own choosing. He glides alxmt you, leans tenderly over you, hii black face filled with anxiety for fear some error of omission or commission may occur. He bancs about you with fatherly in terest. He places the dishes before you with almost a caressing touch, and when you are ready to depart he tremblingly. hopefully, liugeringly hands you your hat In the white brown depths of his eyes there '.s cute appeal, not unmixed with txpi -edition.

Supporters of Col. M. S. Quay have during the last week challenged the so-called insur gents to put a candidate against him for the United States senatorship. They have called upon tho small minority among the Republican members of the legislature to come out into the open, agree upon a Republican, for Uuited States sonator and let his qualifications and claims for the honor bo submitted to the people, that they may pr.rs Judg ment upon them. Col. Quay's admirers say the Ueavcr statesman wculd pre fer to have an open and avowed oppo nent, that their r-rsprntive merits might be discussed by all Republicans, who could then make known their preferences to their representatives in the legislature. During the last few daya Col. Quay has met a large number of active Re publicans In Washington and In Phila delphia, and all the reports ho has re ceived have been of the moBt satisfac tory character. The colonel has re ceived enough replies to his letter to members of the legislature to insure his re-electlcn. Over their own sis- natures more than 128 members of the legislature, the number necessary to elect with a full membership, have written to Col. Qtny Ftatin th-?!r pur pose to go into the Republican caucus and vote for him for United States sen ator. The feeling of confidence mani fested by the stalwart Republicans who have met Col. Quay recently Is thus explained. INStTiGENT DISSENSIONS. The Martin-Flinn romuino lenders are having troubles of their own. There is a big row ou between the admirers of Wi'Umer ,T:d Mans on one hand and the followers of V.Vn imnker on the other. It is chimed that Widener, while r-r-tii Cc-'l tl'.-it.

M-re. has reason to be opposed to Wanu maker, as It is charged that the Wanamaker influences have always been, r.ecretly opposed to making Magee in any way nroru nent In connection witn tne naming of probable candidates for the senatorship. Meanwhile the regular Republicans are united and aggressive. They are persistent in calling upon the insur gents to name a candidate for United States senator. John T. Harrison, of the Twenty-second district of Phila delphia, a well known manufactuer and a stalwart Republican, defeated John F. Keator, an Insurgent, for re- nomination and re-election to the house of representatives. Mr. Harrison has been one of the most active of the regulars In demanding that the Insur gents speak out. A STALWART CHALLENGE. "Let the so-called Republicans wo are acting the part of Insurgents in Pennsylvania name a candidate for United States senator against Col Quay, and let tho citizens of this com monwealth have an opportunity to look unon him and pass upon his quallhta tions for litis office," was the dofbint declaration which came from Repre-seatatlve-elcct John T. Harrison, la commenting upon the guerrilla cam paign that tho Martin-Flinn combine leaders are waging against Col. M. S. Quay. "The American people like fair play," continued Mr. Harrison, earn ostly, "and they admire Tiianlir.esa nnd courage in a political leader or a can didate.

"The Insurgents and their newspaper allies are telling us day after day that they have Col. Quny defeated for re election. They do this despito the fact that after a thorough canvass at tho Republican primaries, and after nearly two years' campaigning before tho peo ple. Col. Quay's friend3 have elected a large majority of the Republican mem bers of the state sennte and h"U8e of representatives. "Yes. they are employing columns and columns of space in certain news papers to these insurgent predictions and declarations. When I was a can didate for the Republican nomination for representative I was bitterly op posed by tho insurgents. They pitted Representative John F. Keator against me. He had been in tho la-rlslnture, and although an estimable gentleman personally, his record as a Republican did not nppenl to the Republican voters of this district. Mr. Keitnr. nishwth elected as a Republican, bolted the Ite publlcnn caucus and acted with the Democrats throughout tho las se-snion of the legislature. When ho ramo up for renominntion tho Republicans of the district naturally said they wanted a Republican In the ler.is'Pture, and ho was overwhelming defeated at the pri maries. It was a clean cut fir:, t. I was known to favor the rr;-o'.ertl:n of Col.

"Now. under these clrciirastinei, I believe that I know the sentiments of the Republicans of the district in which I live. In this district reside some of the most bitter opponents cf Col. Quay. Senator J. Dnyard Henry, who has stumped many counties against Col. C?tay, nnd who has voted with tne Insurgents from the outset. Is also a resident of this representative district. In view of the election returns, he can not claim that he is voicing the sen timents of the Republicans of his Im mediate neighborhood In opposing Col Quay'3 re-election. Others quite as prominent in the Insurgent movement live in this district, but they were turned down by the Rr.i'.jbllcan voters with the issue presented in a clean cut and positive manner. "If these so-called insurgents want ever to be classed as Republicans let them pick out a candidate far United States senator in cpporiflon to Col. Quay.
