(Special Correrpondence.) Harrisburg, Jan. 10.—Hon. Matthew S'artley Ouay has been declared the choice of the Republican party of Penn sylvania for United States senator. This action was taken by the Joint Re publican caucus cn Tuesday even ing last, ivhen upon motion of .Colonel Quay's political opponent for many years. Senator C. L. Ma gee. he was made the unanimous nominee of the party. There were present and voting in the caucus 109 senators and represen a tives, or more than two-thirds of the Republican membership of the legisla ture. and every man in the hall went on record in favor of sustaining the action of the majority and making the senior senator the Republican party's candidate to succeed himself. It was an insiiiing scene In the beautifully decorated hall of the house of representatives when the caucus was called to order by Hon. J> hn C. Grady, of Philadelphia. The caucus had betu called in accordance with the rules of the Repub.ican party by the chairmen of the caucuses held by the Re publican members of the senate and the house, respectively, Senator Grady on the part of the senate an 1 Representative W. T. Marshall, of Al legheny, cn the part of the Republican members of the house. Doth were elected unanimously by caucus a: - tlon. and there could be no question ' .t.>- to the regularity of their action, j There was a great crowd of s> c it- si present and the speeches ■ 112 the orato s were cnthus'.isli ally ch en d. "The Ile;>ub'ic on party has ca'iod y < into count i! t j-nlgh'," s..id Senate: Grady, in calling the caucus to i rJe:\ "to select a candidate who ce.n com mand the largest number cf vies in a convention to be held two weeks tr< m today to represent, not only the P. - publican party, but the state of IV.m- i sylvania in the national congress it j Washington.

A I of you. and a'l you: - cons: Ituent.-a. have opir.l ns on ti.l =» sub ject, and there may be some < xpres - sion upon it tonight. We will procee l tc the duty assigned to us." Senator Walter T. rick, of Pie "i burg. Tioga county, then arose. and in | a speech full off ■ ling and with mueli ! eloquence, plaaeed the name ef r. Quay In nomination. Senator Met't'i.-'.t spoke as follows: "We will select tonight the c . i'H 'te who should unquestionably 1)2 eleet 1 IT; 1 ed States St nator from th • s ate of Prnrsyivnnia for the next si:: y ir=. lie will be the representative of nn empire, and he should be a man of tin 1 ieiios; at ainments and the most marl d a'ii'- lty, one able to command the eon'' 1- erice. esteem and respect . 112 the people whom he represents, and -lso ( 112 h = ct 1- . laeues In the august b(<ly of which he i will become a member, one who w >l, | knows the wants and needs of tlift farmer, the laborer, the bu Iness man. the manufacturer, then ine- and all the diversified Interests of th" greatest manufacturing state i:i the United States.

"The soldier who bidding the loved wife and little ones good by, and com mending them to the care of Almigh y God, offered his life to his country: to save his country's life he was willing to give his own. What greater sacrifl •• .could nny man make? Heroes thru rprang from every hillside and vallrv, wives, families, sweethearts were for saken to save a nation and to preserve the liberty our fathers had given rs. My candidate was one of those heroes. One to whom the coward's burning blush of shame was and is unknown.

Farr, of I.aokawanna, the speaker of the house of represent a l lves, who com manded the attention cf the chair. Mr. Farr voted for Senator Quay in 18f>2. and in the Penrose fight cast his vote for Wanamaker. "I did not expect to .say a word at this catherins this evening," bogran Speaker Farr. "I did expect to support Senator Quay. I was nominated and elected without instructions upon that question.

Philadelphia, Jan. 10.—There can be no mistaking the sentiment of the Re publieans of this oity agaitss: tha action of the members of tho legislature who bolted the Republican caucus on the I'nited States senat nl i ; .

It Is known that more ihan enough Republicans necessary to giv» Senator Quay the requisite numb r ol vc teK have already promised to stand by the caucus nominee. In an address to the Republicans of Pennsyiv *ni.ju t Issued by the chair men of the Republican senate and fc< use cancusis. He n. J hn C. Grady, of Philadelphia. anil Hon. William T. l arsliaii, of Allegheny, they review the action nf the joint Republican sena torial caucus at Ilarrisbuig, and anions: other things say: "It is admitted that if all were pres ent who are entitled f o a seat therein. Inducting th" sevi ral »h» had not qualified as members of the general as sembly. there would bo 16i, and admit tedly S3 would be a quorum to transact the business devolving upon it. Those who absented themselves are In the same position, no bet;er and no stronger than delegates to any con tention would find themselves after a majority had regularly met under the rules which govern it anil a majority had made 'heir declaration and all present acceding to the right for the majority to rule, moved to make the same unanimous. Such was the history of that body. Every one who voted thert in was a member of the general as sembly and not only did a quorum of 83 vote, but (he total number of votes cast was IC9. more than two-thirds of all the Republican members who were qualfied that day when the general as sembly was convened." After reciting the facts that the caucus was regularly called and oon duetcd strictly in accordance with the ru'es, !hey refer to Senator Quay as receiving the unanimous vrte of lot* members present. Co .tlnulng they add: "In view of the facts herein set forth, we cannot how any fa r minded Re publi an can 1 u believe the Hon. Mat thew Stanley Quay to be the nominee of the Republican party for ITnited States sen-tor. It is a fundamental of the Republican organiza tion that the majority shall rule. The action if *his caucus is as much bind ing upon T • uVi ns of the common wealth or Pennsylvania as would be the nr-Mcn of any Republican conven tion. c'ty, con i*y, Kta.e or n lliona!.

R was clearly shown that the : r senator had not vi ilated any liw and that he had not pr; fited a p a nnv fro' the of t te funds. The air- ■ by Rufus K. Shapiey. one oft' 1 t brilliant members of the Philadelphia bar. in support of Senator Quay's contention that he was the victim of a conspiracy and that he could not expect justice under ex isting conditions in the Philadelphia courts commanded great attention. Never since the days ef the Infamous Jeffreys, said he. had there been such an unpardonable attempt to prostitute the machinery of courts of justice and the powers of the district attorney as had been made by thl= very ex-dis'.rict attorney and ex-Judge Gordon. He enlarged upon the proposition that the pititP-n rs clearly sh"w that this prose cut Irn was instigated by the express malice of po'i ical enemies and through a political conspiracy to abuse the pro cesses of the lower court for Improper purposes, and that, in pursuance of such conspiracy, on attempt is now be ing made to subject the petitioners to Inconvenience and hardship. "When District Attorney Graham de nied the charge of malice he forgot the mi. titud'nous spoei h»s. published in the newspapers." said Mr. Shapiey. "which he volunteered to make before and while the warrant was pending, afterwards and down to the final pro ceedings in this case. That gentleman forgot that the same Judge Gordon whom he seeks to defend resigned no toriously at the very hour when he knew we were before the chief justice and an associate Justice of this court, begg'.ng that they should interfere with a stron? hand to prevent the inon Etro°ity of that judge sitting, r.she threatened to do. and as the district at torney told us he would do, to try this very case which he had instigated not. as the district attorney snvs, for <1 proper administration of justice, but for the vilest and most contemptible motive that can actuate the most degraded man—that of pure, sheer, express mal ice.
