Scnnlnr Prnroae Calls Tbetr Blnlt nn:l Hunt, an Inveatlfclltlon Which Mill Slmw Whfrt Ovrr a Mlllloa nollnra Spent Aaralnat Quay and Illiiifi-ir Mntr Goif, (Siut'ial Correspondence. Philadelphia. Jan. 8. Col. Matthew Stanley Quay has won his fight and he will he the next United States sen ator from Pennsylvania. He has scored one of the greatest victories in American politics. His candidacy for re-election, while sup ported hy the votes of a large majority of the delegates to the last Republican state convention, which made him the candidate of the party organization for senator, has been opposed by a com bination of polltb al bosses of Pitts burg and Philadelphia and a few other disgruntled Republicans who seek to benefit themselves at the expense of the party, and a faction of the Demo ocratlc party controlled by Col. James M. Guffey. ENOUGH VOTES PLEDGED. The vote on the United States sena torsliln '.till be taken in the general assembly at Harrisburg on the 15th Instant, when it will be shown that Col. Quay has a majority of the members of each branch of the legislature. He has already enough votes publicly pledged to him to make his election a certainty. The (unionists are dying very hard, but they will have to die all the same. Fllnn and Martin have been repudi ated by the Republicans of Pennsyl vania, nnd no deal they may enter into with the Democrats can possibly let them out of the hole they have gotten into. Members of the legislature who per sist in following them will find their mistake when it shall be too late to remedy the evil they have done. Al ready sentiment among Republicans is so pronounced against them that It will mean political suicide for any Republican to continue to violate the rules of his party and attempt to over ride the will of the majority. UIG MAJORITY PROMISED. Col. Quay will have at least 130 votes when the ballot Is taken on the sena torshlp. There were 123 votes record ed in the caucus of the senators nnd members, and to these votes must be added the votes of Representatives Haldemnn of Montgomery, Thompson of Centre and Neebe of Allegheny, Who were at home confined to their rooms with sl.-knesB, and Representa tives Heaver of Juniata county and W.lty of Franklin, who have since the caucus declared publicly that they pro pose to vote for Col. Quay. The-'- make 12S votes, or one more than enough to fleet if the highest number possihle to be required shall be necessary. There are at Nr.a two or three others who Lave prlvut ,ly raid they are going to vote for Col. Quay. It would not Bur- prise the party leaders If Col. Quay gets lio votes or more. COOPER R6ASTS INSURGENTS. The Republican caucus at which Col, Quay was nominated was an interest ing gathering. Perhaps one of the most tunable speeches delivered there was that by former State Chairman Thomas V. Cooper. Among other things Mr. Cooper said: "Six years ago the great municipal rings of Philadelphia and Pittsburg conspired with the executive power of the state to drive from politics one who was then at peace with the entire Tarty. This was but a selfish grab for power. Who does not recall the fight of '95, the Harrisburg Opera House crowded with Pittsburg thugs, with bloodshed threatened until the hour of a caucus which showed a majority for Col. Quay. The result was accepted, and quiet followed until '97, when old and new ambitions struggled for the succession to Senator Cameron. Pen rose Droved the choice, and that result l fill k We TOM was aeceineu. in ss aim its preceu.ng election Col. Quay won a great major ity of the Republican party, and lack ed but a doien of a majority over one great party and the self called Insur gent wing of another. The legislature was deadlocked upon the written state ment by insurgent that they could not support a candidate until cleared of the charges then peudlng. Col. Quay was entirely cleared of the charges, made only to block his election, but bis opponents violated the pledge so con veniently framed. In the contest be fore the people In 1900 the more hon orable yielded, and nearly all of the Republican counties elected senators and representatives known to favor either Col. Quay or the rule of the majority. OPPOSITION WEAK. "The papers which have represented a faction have not analyzed the Repub lican vote of the state. Their friends carried but three counties Ihanon. Somerset and Washington while the fusion which they promoted carried but three districts, one In West Philadel phia aud one in Union. "The self-called Insurgent wing, in open and fair contest at the primaries, nominated their candidates In the Flinn part of Pittsburg, the Martin cor ner of Philadelphia, in Bradford, Bucks, Juniata, Perry, Somerset, part of Lu zerne, part of Westmoreland and one in Armstrong, in all less than one tenth of the state. Now the candidates elected by the entire Republican party, by Quay and anti-Quay votes nlike, are asked to ally themselves with a party which opposed their election to the end that they may divide the spoils with the common enemy. Men who do this thing in war are shot; in politics they die young. "I can see how in lebanon. Somerset and Washington independents should act separately and hold a little caucus of their own; I can see how the three fusion members should openly ally themselves with the Democrats who promoted their election, but these paths are not open to others. "The Republican forcecomprisesfully 180 senators and representatives, elect ed by the entire Republican party, and elected for the purpose of abiding by its counsels. CAUCUS SHOULD BIND. "Whatever portion of this overwhelm ing total fall In this, at least a great part of those who elected them will stand stripped of representation. I can see how gentlemen can refuse to abide a caucus upon a principle, but the richt of refusal never goes to a personal preference as to a party candidate. When that becomes the rule chaos will have to come, and we will be unfit for self government, "I need not speak personally of Col. Quay. If I knew him less and liked him less, he should still have my hearty support In deference to the will of the majority. If I had no knowledge of him at all, and could scan the vote recorded In the United States senate, to give him the seat upon the appoint ment of the governor, I would see in the list of the yeas the noblest names of that body able, fearleBS, conscien tious, the very highest In its roll of honor. This was after 12 years of sen atorlal service, and after political ac- tivlties beyond the career of an other Republican leader. This was after hatred had shot its poisoned arrows, and after the spite which led to his trial had been spat from the mouths of an American lury.

Continuing, the governor ssys: "On the first of January, 1S99, there was a deficit In the slate treasury of about $3,000,000. I am happy to state that owing to the unexpected Increase In the revenues this deficit has been entirely liquidated, there la sufficient money to pay all unpaid appropriations aa they mature, and there will be on the first of January, 1!W, a balance, over and above the amount necessary to liquidate all demands, of about Jl. 600,000. "The report of the state treasurer, which will be shortly submitted to you, will show the total receipts of the treas ury department from all sources for the fiscal year ending Nov. 30, l&i O, to be $17,494,211.73.

If you shall appropriate the million dollars to the public schools eliminated from the appropriation made by the last legislature, there will then be a balance of $500,000. If the leg islature thall appropriate for the com ing two years $11,000,000 for the com mon schools, as I presume It will, nnd If It shall make appropriations for the completion of the capitol, as in my Judgment It ought to do, It will not ba safe to Increase the balance of the ap propriations beyond those made by the last legislature, If the credit of the state Ib to be preserved, and we are to avoid another deficit In the trcasuiy." COMMON SCHOOLS. "When the legislature convened In January, 1S99," continues the governor, I -mere was a Uetlclt in the tioas ury of about three millions cf dol lars.

Inasmuch ni the appropriation 'i the common schools In 1S?9 was ir.

Upon the subject of th eomp'rtinn of the capitol building, the govirnor, among other things, sayn: "Ow ing to the Ir.ci eising demand i of neces sary charitable Institutions r.nd the uncertainty thnt always surrriumh an ticipated revenue, I do not think it would be safe to take out of the reve nues for the next two yeirs sufficient moneys to complete this building, and If It cannot be completed In time for the meeting of the next legislature In January, 1903. Its completion may as well be postponed until the meeting of the legislature In January, lSfir,. "I, therefore, respectfully recomm"nd the passage of a 'aw expropriating an nually so much of the penetal revenues of the state during the next four years as the legislature shall deem nefeaary for the proper completion of this build ing and providing that It be finished by the first Tuesday In January, 1903." FOOD LAWS ENFORCED. In commending the work of the de partment of agriculture. Governor Stone says that in the dairy and food di vision attention has principally cen tered In the enforcement of the law passed by the last legislature, known as the oleomargarine law, throuah the persistent attempt of certain persons nnd certain newppipers to misrepresent facts for rnlitical effect. It his ben repeatedly nni' per : l n'ly charged that the m-rlcrti:r il (kris'trrent has not enforced the law and has not at tempted to suppress the oleomargarine traffic, while the records show that the criminal courts are overcrowded with cases brought by the ageuts of the dairy and food commissioner. Since the decision of the superior court, April 30, 1900, up to Dec. 15, 1900, nine hundred and one criminal prosecutions have been brought by the dairy and food commissioner against oleomargarine dealers In the various counties of the state. Eighty-seven of these cases have been terminated and eight hundred and fourteen are still pending nnd undisposed of. "The agents and attorneys represent ing the dairy and food commissioner have made every effort to obtain trial of these rapes. They miibt. aw.ilt the disposition of Jail cases and the prim disposal of other cases deemed more Important by the district attorneys who control the order of trial of casrs in Cut to $8.00. Cut to $10.00 Capes to sell cheap. Best. R AOORKOATK VALUATION or AGGREGATE VALUATION or NO. or tMHIS, ALL PROPERTY ALL PROPERTY TAXABLE FOB COUNT PURPOSES.

The governor dwells at some length upon the question of b.illot reform, and sayt: "I aiu heartily in favor of any legislation thr.t will result In n purer ballot." There Is urgent demmd, he believes, for legislation r n this sub ject, and he urges ernes! considera tion of the suggested remedies by vari ous reform bodies. The governor. In referring to the pro posed Fan-American exposition to be given at Buffalo, N. Y., siyR If Penn sylvania la to be represented there ac tion must be taken at once. He ad vocates the passage of a bill repealing the first section of the act of assembly approved March 24. lt-91, and this would add $100,000 annually to the rev enues, and at the same time not Inter fere with the plans of the founders of the sinking fund. Governor Stone devotes considerable space In his message to commending the work of the department of agri culture in developing the forests of the state. He advocates the purchase of further tracts of land distributedamong the counties as public parks. He rec ommends legislation to place the pur chase and supervision of such tracts of land under one management and permit such management to sell ma tured timber and timber destroyed by fire, etc., to lease coal lands and oil rights and to pay the proceeds to the commonwealth. The governor also ad vocates legislation to encourage com petition In bidding for furnishing sup plies for public buildings nnd grounds. He also urges the passage of Judicial, senatorial, representative and congres sional apportionment bills, and advo cates the election of I'nlted Eti ii j sen ators hy the people.
