Philadelphia, Nov. 13.—Regular Re publicans will organize both the state senate and the bouse -of representa tives when the legislature meets at Harrisburg in January next. Although the insurgents and the Democrats are already getting together to work~upon the same lines they followed at the last session, when they succeeded in deadlocking the Joint convention for the election of a United States senator, they cannot repeat their proceedings of last session. The regulars have thrown down the gauntlet to the fusion combine and named their candidates for president pro tem of the senate and for speaker of the house. Dr. William P. Snyder, of Chester county, was fleeted president pro tem of the present senate and he was chosen by a caucus of the Republican senators, including the insurgents, just prior to the adjournment of the legisla ture, to succeed himself in the chair of the presiding officer of the senate, in the absence of the lieutenant governor. He is now a candidate for re-election when the senate reconvenes in Jan uary, and he is assured of a majority of the senate in his favor. For the speakership of the house of representatives Hon. William T. Mar shall, of Allegheny, has been agreed upon by the Republican leaders, and he will be supported by the stalwart mem bers of the house. Inasmuch as it will require but 103 votes to elect the speak er, and with the stalwarts having a considerable number of votes more than 103, it would appear that Mr. Marshall will have no trouble in land ing in the speaker's chair. HOW THEY LINE UP. Here is a conservative estimate of the relative strength of the contending forces in the legislature: STATE SENATE. Regular Republicans 27 insurgents and doubtful Republi cans 10 Democrats 13 Total 50 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Regular Republicans 123 insurgents and doubtful Republi cans 33 Democrats 48 Total 204 Total regular Republicans (senate and house) 150 Total insurgents and doubtful Re publicans (senate and house i 43 Total Democrats (senate and house) 61 JOINT SENATORIAL CONVENTION. Regular Republicans 150 Insurgents, doubtful Republicans and Democrats 104 Total regular Republican majority In joint convention 46 INDORSING MARSHALL. The ftrst move in favor of the elec tion of William T. Marshall was made in this city on Saturday last, when the solid delegations from Chester. Dela ware and Montgomery counties met at the Hotel Walton and unanimously in dorsed the candidacy of Mr. Marshall for the speakership. The veteran Thomas V. Cooper waa made chairman of the united delegations and Repre sentative Ward R. Bliss, of Delaware county, offered the resolutions of in dorsement ot Mr. Marshall. Mr. Bliss waa one of the moat potential members of the last legislature and was allied at that time with the Insurgents. He had been an aspirant for the speaker ship and seemed to think he had not been fairly treated. He Is now one of the most earnest atalwarts. He made a speech eulogising Mr. Marshall, de claring that he waa admirably fitted for the speakership, that he wus popular with his colleagues and that he pos seaaea all the requirements of a presid ing officer. It Is understood that the Philadelphia delegation, with possibly two or three exceptions, will indorse Mr. Marshall and that l.anrastet aud other counties will do likewise next week. Thn Insurgent newspapers are mak ing nil kinds of wild and ridiculous clalma that they will control the legis lator* and defeat Col. Quay for the eenaterahlp They dare not give the names of the men they claim, a* their statements would nt once be denied by the members themselves. *m»n and his co- workers are making {bluff.

FUSION ROUTED IN LAWRENCE. New Castle, Lawrence county, was supposed to be & hotbed of fusion sen timent. Men who were managing the fight for the antls said that Lawrence was a "cinch." Col. Quay addressed a big gathering of Republicans in New Castle. The returns show that the reg ulars won by good majorities, and that the county gave the stalwart candidate for senator a large plurality. Mercer is in the same senatorial district with Lawrence. It elected three members of the house. Mr. Quay talked to the Re publicans gathered at The straight ticket was successful and had about 500 votes to spare. Next comes the magnificent victory In Payette, a county that two years ago returned three Democratic members. Quay visited Uniontown and preached a sermon to the Republicans. A trio of stalwarts will sit in the next house from "old Fiat." From Uniontown the Bpellblnder crossed the line into West moreland, Col. Quay making addresses at Scottdale and Mt. Pleasant. Every one knows that under the leadership of Col. George F. HufT, who was directed by Senator William Fllnn, the insur gents made a hard fight to defeat Cyrus Woods for senator, James S. Beacom, George H. Stevens and W. S. Vandyke for assemblymen. All four were elected. FLINN'S FAILURE AS A LEADER. The other counties in Senator Flinn's territory visited by Quay were Jeffer son and Blair. Stalwarts were elect ed in both places. It is interesting to note here how re markably unsuccessful was Mr. Fllnn in his latest attempt as a state leader. As one of the chief party workers it was his duty to carry these counties for fusion, and this summary shows how well he succeeded: County. Stalwart. Fusion. Erie 4 Lawrence 2 Mercer 4 Venango 1 1 Butler 3 .. Crawford 1 1 Fayette 3 •• Westmoreland 4 1 Cambria 3 Jefferson 1 Blair 2 Armstrong 2 30 2 In Erie. Mercer, Westmoreland, But ler and Cambria the senators are in cluded in the stalwart count. The total for Quay will be increased to 32 when the two Republicans in Crawford gain their rights. In Venango George Ma loney, a Democrat, won because of his own popularity. The one man in Westmoreland was nominated at the primaries and his name appeared on both Republican ancl Democratic tick ets. The stalwarts supported hini be cause he was a regular nominee. Col. Quay made a speech in Hunting don when Senator H. C. Chisolrn and J. C. Dunkle were attempting to break into the house by the fusion route. Stalwarts were elected. This county was visited by Wanamaker. The great Philaledpbia "reformer" was also in Blair. In Lebanon Quay suffered a net loss of one member. WASHINGTON POST'S TRIBUTE. The Washington Post, independent, published tlfe following editorial on Col. Quay'B great victory: "There are many reasons why we re joice in the triumph which Mr. Quay haa achieved in Pennsylvania. In the first place his credentials were im paired originally by one of the most flagrant and ignoble conspiracies that ever disgraced American politics. Through secret contrivances he was in dicted just at the moment when such indictment would injure and distress him. He was tried and acquitted as his enemies expected, but the Incident enabled Wanamaker & Co. to postpone the action of the state legislature and to leave Mr. Quay at the close of the legislative session without the formul indorsement of a distinct majority anx ious to honor and reward him. "Mr. Quay's appointment by the gov ernor of Pennsylvania, who was famil iar with the facts and knew that Mr. Quay was the choice of five-sixths of the Republican party, WHS rejected by the United States senate through the efforts of three or four members—Re publicans—and Mr. Quay lost his seat in consequence. The fact thai he is now once more In control of the party organization, and that his re-election as United States senator is assured, ap peals to our grateful sense of Justice. HIB WORK FOR NATIONAL TICKET "Not the least pleasant factor of the situation. however. Is to be found in the manly, loyal and unselfish manner in which Mr. Quay conducted the cam paign now happily terminated He la bored with unaffected teal and with all hi* quondam address and skill for the success of the ticket. Weaker men wielding bis power might have exploit ed a perfectly legitimate senae of injury and labored for a petty vengeance He rolled up for his party a magnificent majority; preserved the proud tradi tions of the state, and gave McKinley and Roosevelt the glory and prestige of an unexampled victory.
