Harrisburg, Jan. 23. —Reports of the past, week of political developments iu the state show a steady gain of the stalwart Republican element. in strengthening their control of the Re publican organizations by success at the primaries and the meetings of county committees. York county, where the insurgents have been claim ing everything in sight, has just, elect ed a full set of county committee of ficers who are in touch with the reg ular Republican state organization. In Lancaster the friends of Secretary of the Commonwealth Grelst carried the primaries by over 1,500 majority and nominated their candidate for mayor of that city, despite the fight put up against them by what is known as the anti-Quay combine. The victory of the friends of Quay and Penrose at the Republican primaries in Philadelphia and their capture of the Republican city committee and the withdrawal of all opposition to their ticket for of ficers of that committee, has been fol lowed up by the announcement of the appointment of Representative Charles E. Voorhees as chief clerk of the Republican committee of the Quaker City. VOORHEES' NEW PLACE. Voorhees Is one of the secretaries of the Republican state committee, and was one of General Frank Reeder's most valuable assistants in the last state campaign. His selection was a particular disappointment to David Martin, whom he has fought politically since Martin jumped from the ranks of the regulars and joined the Insur gents. Voorhees is one of the best known political workers in the state, and his new position will be of ma terial advantage to the friends of the regular organization in combating the insurgents when the matter of the nomination and election of the mem bers of the new legislature comes up. The bulk of the bolters from the Re publican senatorial caucus at the re cent session were from Philadelphia and Allegheny. There were three sen ators and 15 Republicans in the house from the Quaker City who bolted the caucus nominee for United States sen ator at the last ession. It is now cer tain that there will not be more than two senators and five members with the insurgents from Philadelphia In the next legislature, a loss of 11 votes. In fact many believe it quite possible that by the time the nominations are to be made there may be absolute har mony in that city and that there will be a united delegation for the caucus nominee. PENROSE IS CONFIDENT. Senator Penrose has written a friend in this city that the situation at Wash ington is daily growing brighter in the case of the admission of Colonel Quay into the United States senate upon the governor's appointment. From the outset he has declared that Senator Quay's supporters have hud enough as surances from senators to guarantee his being seated, however. The friends of the Beaver statesman have been particularly pleased during the last week by the public announcement from Senator Cullom. of Illinois, that after carefully reviewing the law and the constitutional provisions bearing upon Colonel Quay's case, he proposes to recognize the commission issued by Governor Stone and vote to seat Sen ator Quay. The Pennsylvania political oppon ents of Colonel Quay have been count ing upon Senator Cullom to vote to re fuse to recognize the validity of the governor's commission. They have been working upon the various mem bers of the senate and endeavoring to employ all sorts of pressure to have them vote against Colonel Quay. They have had Chairman Jones, of the Dem ocratic national committee, canvassing among the Democrats and seeking to make the Quay case n party issue and have the Democratic senators all line up against Quay. The Guffey Demo cratic influence in Pennsylvania has been hard at work, too. against the Beaver statesman. But they have failed to accomplish what they are after. Several Demo cratic senators have proclaimed their intention to take up this case purely upon its merits and, sitting as judicial officers, they intend to decide the issue without political bias, leaning or preju dice. Senator Kenny, of Delaware, is among those who have stated that the question of politics will not influence many of the senators in determining this question. A PROFESSOR'S VIEWS. An interesting statement showing the feeling among men of affairs, stu dents of politics, who have no direct connection with party organizations, is given in an interview witn President W. E. Abernethy, of Ruthford college. North Carolina, who is on a visit north. Professor Abernethy is a Dem ocrat, but not a politician. He said: "You people seem to be much con cerned about the action of the sen.ite In the Quay case. As a matter of com mon fairness to the states, and regard less of any former decisions of the sen ate in parallel cases, 1 cannot believe that the makers of our government ever contemplated the denial of reure sentatlon to a state, even for one ilay. If the decision in the Corbett case be the constitutional view, then the mat ter should be cured immediately by an amendment of the constitution." Sheriff's Sale.
