(Special Correspondence.)
Ilarrisburg, Dec. 11. —Supporters of
Col. M. S. Quay have during the last
week challenged the so-called insur
gents to put a candidate against him
for the United States senatorship. They
have called upon the small minority
among the Republican members of the
legislature to come out into the open,
agree upon a Republican for United
Stateß senator and let his qualifications
and claims for the honor be submitted
to the people, that they may pass judg
ment upon them. Col. Quay's admirers
say the Beaver statesman would pre
fer to have an open and avowed oppo
nent, that their respective merits
might be discussed by all Republicans,
who could then make known tlieir
preferences to their representatives in
the legislature.
During the last few days Col. Quay
has met a large number of active Re
publicans in Washington and in Phila
delphia, and all the reports he has re
ceived have been of the most satisfac
tory character. The colonel has re
ceived enough replies to his letter to
members of the legislature to Insure
his re-election. Over their own sig
natures more than 128 members of the
legislature, the number necessary to
elect with a full membership, have
written to Col. Quay stating their pur
pose togo into the Republican caucus
and vote for him for United States sen
ator. The feeling of confidence mani
fested by the stalwart Republicans who
have met Col. Quay recently is thus
explained.
INSURGENT DISSENSIONS.
The Martin-Fllnn combine leaders
are having troubles of their own. There
is a big row on between the admirers
•>f Widener and Magee on one hand
Ind the followers of Wanamaker on the
other. It is claimed that Widener.
while satisfied that Quay is going to
be elected, Is anxious to head off Wan
• maker for the future. He has hopes of
succeeding Penrose in the United
States senate on a combination which
would mean the nomination of Pen
rose for mayor of Philadelphia, which
in the matter of local power and influ
ence is far greater than that of a Uni
ted States senatorship. Magee has
reason to be opposed to Wanamaker,
as it is charged that the Wanamaker
Influence* have always been Becretly
opposed to making Magee in any way
prominent In connection with the
naming of probable candidates for the
senatorship.
Meanwhile the regular Republicans
are united and aggressive. They are
persistent in calling upon the insur
gents to name a candidate for United
States senator. John T. Harrison, of
the Twenty-second district of Phila
delphia, a well known manufactuer
and a stalwart Republican, defeated
John F. Keator, an Insurgent, for re
nomination and re-election to the
house of representatives. Mr. Harrison
has been one of the most active of the
regular* in demanding that the insur
gents speak out.
A STALWART CHALLENGE.
"Let the so-called Republicans who
are acting the part of insurgents in
Pennsylvania name a candidate for
I nited States senator against Coi.
Quay, and let the citizens of this com
monwealth have an opportunity to look
upon him and pass upon his quallfica
t'on* for this office," was the defiant
declaration which came from Repre
► -ntatlve-elect John T. Harrison, in
i >mm«Btifig upon the guerrilla cam
p;tign that the Martln-FUnn combine
leader* are waging against Col. M. S.
Quay. "The American people like fair
play." continued Mr. Harrison, earn
estly, "and they admire manliness and
courage In a political leader or a can
didate They have no aympathy with
bushwhacking methods, nor do they
like to see men betray their party or
combine with the enemies of their
party for purely selfish reasons, or for
the purpose of satisfying their desire
fur revenge upon a political leader or
other public man.
"The Insurgents and their newspaper
allies are telling us day after day that
they have Col. Quay defeated for re
election. They do this despite the fact
that after it thorough canvass at the
Republican primaries, and after nearly
two years' campaigning before the peo
ple, Col. Quay'* friend* have elected a
huge majority of the Republican mem
bers of the state senate and house of
representative*.
"'Yea, they are employing column*
and column* of apace in certain news
paper* to theae Insurgent prediction* 1
and declaration*. When I was a can- ;
didute for the Republican nomination ;
for repreeentative I was bitterly op- '
posed by the Inaurgeut*. They pitted
Representative John F Keator against <
me He had been In the legislature. '
and although an estimable gentleman
l eiMtaftUy, hi* record a* a Republican
did nut appeal to the Republican votera
of (hi* district. Mr. Keator. although
ele< ted a* a Republican, bolted the Re-
NkHM caucus and acted with the
Democrat* throughout the laat session
of Ik* legislature When he came up
fur renoinination the Republican* of
Ibe dlstrb i naturally aald they wanted
a Republican in the legislature, and he
was overwhelming defeated at the pri
maries. It waa a clean rut Aght I
»»* kit*) to favor there election of
Coi Quftjr and be «a* kuovu aa a r«e
reaentative who, when the majority of i
the Republican representatives did not
| agree with him, would bolt his party
| and co-operate with the Democracy.
THE PEOPLE VOTED.
"Not satisfied with the verdict of the j
Republicans at the primaries, he went
before the people as an independent
candidate, but when the votes were
counted I had more votes than Mr.
Keator and the Democratic candidate
had together.
"Now, under these circumstances, I
believe that I know the sentiments of
the Republicans of the district in
which I live. In this district reside
some of the most bitter opponents of
Col. Quay. Senator J. Bayard Henry,
who has stumped many counties against
Col. Quay, and who has voted with the
insurgents from the outset, Is also a
resident of this representative district.
In view of the election returns, he can
not claim that he is voicing the sen
timents of the Republicans of his im
mediate neighborhood in opposing Col.
Quay's re-election. Others quite as
prominent in the insurgent movement
live in this district, but they were
turned down by the Republican voters
with the issue presented in a clean cut
and positive manner.
"If these so-called insurgents want
ever to be classed as Republicans let
them pick out a candidate for United
States senator'in opposition to Col.
Quay. Let him be a good Republican,
and submit both names to the Republi
cans elected to the legislature. Let
these senators and representatives then
go home to their constituents and in
quire as to the wishes of the voters of
their respective districts and return to
Harrlsburg prepared to make a choice
between the candidates placed In nom
ination.
"If we are to have a Republican party
in Pennsylvania it should he ruled by
Republicans. It should not have togo
to the Democracy to help name its rep
resentatives in the United States sen
ate, with our vast manufacturing, com
mercial and industrial interests de
pending upon legislation at the na
tional capital. I am a manufacturer,
and I know what the Republican party
has done for the industry with which
lam identified. We cannot expect the
Democracy to further any scheme or
to advance the interests of any candi
date that will strengthen the Republi
can party.
FIGHT IN THE OPEN.
"Republicans are not asleep. They
read these stories in the insurgent and
Democratic and assistant Democratic
newspapers, and they can see that
without the Democratic vote at Har
rlsburg the opposition to Col. Quay
means but a small element in the mem
bership in the legislature.
"I have absolute confidence in"the
re-election of Col. Quay, but I shall hail
with delight an announcement of the
selection of any Republican for United
States senator who will have the sup
port of the so-called Insurgent members
of the legislature.
"Let them come out into the open
and let there be a free and fair dis
cussion of the relative merits of the
Republicans proposed for the senator
ship, and let the Republican party not
be placed in a position in stalwart Re
publican Pennsylvania of having the
Democracy Interfere with the protec
tion of our industries and business in
terests through any alliance with dis
appointed. disgruntled or ambitious
Republicans.
"Let the so-called insurgents speak
out."
