INSURGENTS ARE DEMORALIZED. Senator l'enrnip Calls Tlieir lilnff nail Wants an In vent litaHou Wlitcli Will Show Where Over a Million Dollar* Spent A|(alnst Quay and Himself Have tianr, (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Jan. 8. —Col. Matthew Stanley Quay has won his fight and lie will be 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 lioi ted by 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 political 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 ocratic party controlled by Col. James M. (iuffey. ENOUGH VOTES PLEDGED. The vote on the United States sena torship will 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 fusionists are dying very hard, but they will have to die all the same. Klinn and Martin have been repudi ated by the Republicans of Pennsyl vania, and 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. BIG MAJORITY PROMISED. Col. Quay will have at least 130 votes ! when the ballot is taken on the sena- | torship. There were 123 votes record- I ed in the caucus of the senators and | members, and to these votes must be I added the votes of Representatives Haldeman of Montgomery, Thompson of Centre and Neebe of Allegheny, who were at home confined to their rooms with sickness, and Representa tives Beaver of Juniata county and i NVelty of Franklin, who have since the ! caucus declared publicly that they pro pose to vote for Col. Quay. Thesfc make 12S votes, or one more than enough to elect if the highest number possible to lie required shall be necessary. There are at least two or three others who have privately said they are going to vote for Col. Quay. It would not sur prise the party leaders if Col. Quay gets 135 votes or more. COOPER ROASTS INSURGENTS. The Republican caucus at which Col. Quay was nominated waa an interest ing gathering. Perhaps one of the most notable speeches delivered there was that by former State Chairman Thomas V. Cooper. Among other things j .Mr. Cooper said: "Si* years ago the great municipal rings of Philadelphia and Pittsburg conspired with the executive power of the -tate to drive from politics one who was then at peace with the entire party. This was but a selfish grab for power. Who does not recall the fight of'!» 5. the Harrisburg Opera House crowded with Pittsburg thugs, with i bloodshed threatened until the hour of | ;i c.incus which showed a majority for i Col. Quay. The result was accepted. ! and quint followed until 'it", when old ' mid new ambitions struggled for the --in • -ssion to Senator Cameron. Pen- 1 ii e proved the choice, and that result accepted. In '!•!* and its preceding ' i lion Col. Quay won a great major- ' lt> if the Republican party, and lack- 1 • ■I iiijt a dozen of u majority over one I i'ie. i party and the self called insur ant wing of another Ihe leglidature wiu deadlocked upon the written state ment by Insurgents that they could li lt silppurl a candidate until cleared nf the charges then pending Col Quay wa* entirely cleared of the charges, ma.le only to block his election, but his opponent* violated the pledge so ron \eniently framed la the contest be fore the people in 1»IMI the more hon orable yielded, und nearly all of the Republican counties elected senators Mini representatives known to fuvor etilier Col. Quay or the rule of the majority, OI'HOHITION WEAK The papers which have represented a faction have not analyzed the liepub tf an vote of tlir state. Their frleuda c.irrled but three counties Lebanon. Somerset and Washington while the luslon which they promoted carried but three districts one In West Philadel phia aud on* In I'ulou, "The self-called Insurgent wing, la i pen and fair contest at ttsv uiluinles nominated tneir candidates in tnt FHnn 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 alike, 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 Leban'on, 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 force comprises fully 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 thisoverwhelm ing total fall in this, at least a great part of those who elected them wiil stand stripped of representation. I can see how gentlemen can refuse to abide a caucus upon a principle, but the right 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 1 knew him less and liked him less, he should still have my hearty support in deference to the wiil of the majority. If 1 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, fearless, conscien tious. the very highest in its roll ol honor. This was after 12 years of sen atorial service, and after political ac tivities beyond the career of any othei 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 jury. QUAY, THE BELOVED. "Surely, fellow Republicans, the ca reer of one who was a faithful soldier, beloved by every veteran in the state; who has, from first to last, been a true Republican, ever favoring peace in his party's ranks, and free alike from mal ice even when assailed; who as a na tional leader won the greatest battle of the century, enabling Harrison to break the chain of Cleveland victories; who, as senator, saved the industries of his state when most threatened, and who has twice in succession been cer tified to us by the people as theii choice for re-election- —surely he will not be denied the heartiest support of all who desire to reflect in their votes the popular will. "I look about me, Mr. Chairman, and pay an humble tribute to men who I know will stand from night till morn ing and from morning till night again' for the best principle upon which our government rests—which the pilgrim fathers employed when they landed, which governs every American insti tution—the will of the majority shall be the law of all." INVESTIGATE INSURGENT "RE FORM." Since their ignominous dnfo;it at t Harrisburg the insurgents, whose cam paign was largely a case of prostitu i lion and debauchery, are charging that I they lost through bribery and are sug gesting an investigation. Senator Pen rose is the first to come out and meet them on that issue. In a public state ment made at Washington a few days ago Senator Penrose announced that he would be pleased to offer a resolu tion in the United States senate calling for an inquiry into the political cam paigns in the state. He would cover not only the present contest for United States senator, but also the Wana maker-l'enrose campaign. The people may get some information as to where the more than a million dollars spent to defeat Penrose and Quay has gone, who got it and what they got it for. "Insurgent reform" in Pennsylvania may be uncovered at last. NEW YORK, Juu. 7.—Just at the close ■>f the market on Saturday Wall street received the «tnrtiitiir news that J.
