Farr of Lackawanna or Koontz of Somerset to Be Speaker—Quay’s Own Followers Are Deserting Him—Phil=- adelphians Will Have No Caucus if There Is No Trial—Quay Followers Over the State Declare Themselves. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, Dec. 21.—No political war | ery inrecent years has swept the state with such an appeal to popular feeling as the “No trial, no caucus’ slogan of the anti-Quay Republicans. It is now conceded by Senator Quay’s warmest friends that the error of his political life was committed when he ran away from the trial of his case and sought refuge Every day brings fresh evidence of disaster to Senator Quay. Members of the legislature who have heretofore been counted as solid for him are serving no- tice upon him and his managers that they cannot enter the caucus if he per- sists in refusing to stand trial upon the serious charges of appropriating Peo- ple’s bank money to his own use. No later than Saturday last five members of the legislature from Philadelphia who have heretofore been recognized as staunch Quay men notified the senator that they could not go into the caucus and vote for him while he was under bail and a criminal charge was suspend- ed over his head. CORAY REVOLTS. . One of the most startling blows that has been given Senator Quay came from Hon. E. A. Corey, of Luzerne county, on Friday last. Representative Coray had been all along placed in the Quay ranks. He did not vote for Hon. John Wanamaker for United States sen- ator, and he was regarded as solid for the “old man’ this time. But Senator Quay's action in running away from trial after he had boastingly declared in his telegram from Florida that he was ready to face his accusers at any moment, was too much for the Re- publicanism of Representative Coray. He gave ‘out an “interview on Thurs- day last, in which he announced that he could not vote for Senator Quay un- der existing circumstances. That Sen- ator Quay had forfeited all right to his support when he failed to make good his word to get rid of the criminal charge against him at once. Hon. H. S. Stull, of Blair county, in an interview on the same day, stated that cven the Quay followers in his county were disgusted with Senator Quay’s actions and were ready to de- sert him. Another conspicuous deser- tion from the Quay ranks was that of Hon. Fred Turner, of Armstrong county, a heretofore thick and thin Quay follower, who announced - last week that he could not support Sena- tor Quay In caucus or go into a caucus as long as Senator Quay refused man- fully to meet the charges against him in the courts of Philadelphia. FIVE PHILADELPHIANS REBEL. The five members of the legislature from Philadelphia who have declared against going into caucus are from Quay districts. Their names are not published, for the reason that they de- sire to remain undisturbed by public gossip until’ they are ready to act at Harrisburg. Out in the northwest nearly every county has been shaken, and those ‘that have been favorable tn Senator Quay, and have sent Quay members to the legislature, are only sorry that they have not their work to do over again, when a different con- dition would be the result. The control of the house is already lost to Senator Quay. This is one year when he cannot name a speaker who will do his bidding without regard to consequences. Senator Quay and his friends two weeks ago selected Hon. Ward RR. Bliss, of Delaware county, as the ring candidate for speaker. Sen- ator Quay thought he would catch the independent Republicans by this bait, because Bliss was a quasi, or half and half anti-Quay follower last session. FARR FOR SPEAKER. But Secretary of the Commonwealth Martin served notice on Senator Quay that he would not support Bliss, and that, furthermore, his choice for speaker was Hon. John R. Farr, of Lu- zerne county, the father of the com- pulsory educational law. Mr. Farr was an anti-Quay member of the last legis- lature. His selection by Mr. Martin and his friends was on the basis that he was the most avaiiable candidate of all those mentioned in connection with the speakership. Secretary Martin holds the key to the speakership, and the ficht now lies between General Koontz of Somerset and Farr of Lack- awanna. But Senator Quay is in still deeper water over the selection of a cabinet for Governor Stone. Of course Senator Quay will select Governor Stone's cab- inet. This is shown in the application, although he is already slated by Quay, of State Chairman John P. Elkin for attorney general. Quay wants to put Elkin back there in the attorney gen- eral's oflice as a vindication of his course in signing the indemnity bond, and then being dismissed by Governor Hastings. General Frank Reeder, the dismissed secretary of the common- wealth, is slated for his old job under Governor Stone. When Senator Quay needed two judges of the supreme court to listen to his appeal General Reeder furnished one of them in the person of Judge Green, a neighbor of his, whom it is generally understood he induced to come to Philadelphia and hear the argument for the now famous rule. In return cabinet. A KICK IN LANCASTER. But W. W. Greist, of Lancaster, the Republican leader of that county, is #lso a candidate for secretary of state, J3¢ controls eight votes in the next leg- islature and he is a dangerous man to fom] with or deceive.

The duplicity and lying promises of the Quay machine are bringing their own reward.” After years of this sort of and after vears eof public plundering, the whole tower of false- hood and deceit is about to fall and | drag ruin to all the gang. The defeat of Senator Quay is not only predicted, but iteis assured. The Democrats are There are 74 Dem- ocrals in the house, and it requires only its organization. great many more than the remaining 29 to spare. At a meeting in Harris- burg last week Democratic members of the next house pledged themselvesunan- fmously for fusion. They will help to organize the house against Senator Quay and then they will help to defeat Senator Quay after the house is or- ganized. ello Bl Be i Bo ile Bio BO TRGOMR System =. Regulator.

Have been troubled for about three years with what I called bilious attacks coming on regularly once a week. Was told by different physicians that it was caused by bad teeth, of which I had several. I had the teeth extracted, but the at- tacks continued. I had seen advertisements of Ripans Tabules in all the papers but had no faith in them, but about six weeks since a friend in- duced me to try them. Have taken but two of the gmall 5 cent boxes of the Tabules and have had no recurrence of the attacks. Have nover given a testimonial for anything before, but the great amount of good which I believe has been done mo by Ripans Tabules induces me to add mine to the many testimonials you doubtless have in your possession now.

My feet and legs and abdomen were bloated so I could not wear shoes on my feet and only a loose dress. I saw Ripans Tabules advertised in our daily paper, bought some and took them as direct- ed. Have taken them about three weeks and there is such a change! I am not constipated any more and I owe it all to Ripans Tabules. Iam thirty- seven years old, have no occupation, only my household duties and nursing my sick husband. He has had the dropsy and I am trying Ripans Tabules for him. He feels some better but it will take some time, he has been sick solong. You may use my letter and name as you like. Mrs. MARY GORMAN CLARER.
