(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.

Just closed have been the most pros
perous two years In succession the state
has ever experienced. Our people have
been prosperous individually, and that
prosperity has resulted In a large in
crease In the revenues of the state."
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. Deduct the Interest re
ceived on tlie securities in the sinking
fund and the securities maturing and
paid Into the sinking fund and you
have a balance of receipts avail
able for general disbursement of
$17,192,817.91. Taking out the $344.
371.50 transferred to the sinking
fund, there was a balance of $16,848.
443.41 available for general disburse
ment. 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."

"I. therefore, respectfully recommend

Inasmuch ni the appropriation 'i the

appropriation have been made and

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

disposal of other cases deemed more

FOR BALLOT KEFOitM.
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
