(From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, Jan. 10.—Senator Quay is defeated. The result so confidently predicted in these letters has been achieved. To ex-Postmaster General Wanamaker, Senator-elect David Mar- tin of Philadelphia, Senator William Flinn of Pittsburg and Edward A. Van Valkenburg of Philadelphia, the man- ager of the anti-Quay campaign, be- long the glory and the honor of this re- sult. In their efforts to purify the pol- itics of Pennsylvania they were aided by over 50 stalwart Republicans, believe that Senator Quay should not be elected United States senator while criminal charges were hanging over his head. The joint legislative caucus for the nomination of Senator Quay’s succes- sor was held on last Tuesday night. The legislature had convened the same day, with Hon. John R. Farr, of Lack- awanna, as speaker of the house. Sen- ator Quay forced the caucus. The call was not officially made until Tuesday morning, €ight hours before the time fixed for its meeting. It was in every respect a snap caucus. John P. Elkin and Isaac B. Brown, two of Senator Quay’s friends, had declared that the caucus must be held on Tuesday night. This was done at the instigation of Sen- ator Quay without consulting members of the legislature. It was a sample act of the old Quay machine. Senator Quay ve orders direct to Elkin and Brown to fix the caucus date for Tuesday. lie believed that he would have the necessary 128 votes to win. He wanted to forestall the action of the supreme court, and by securing a cau- cus nomination influence the action of the highest court of the commonwealth. But he signally failed. MARTIN AND FLINN THE HEROES. Nearly all Monday night Senator- elect David Martin, Senator-elect Will- iam Flinn, Senator C. L. Magee and Edward A. Van Valkenburg were in consultation. All of the prominent anti- Quay leaders were in Harrisburg, Ex- Postmaster General John Wanamaker, Congressman John Dalzell, Congress- man C. W. Stone, Senator C. C. Kauf- mann and the members of the Business Men's League held frequent confer- ences. At 3 o'clock on Tuesday morn- ing Senator-elect Martin and Senator T'linn announced that they would not enter the caucus. They took exceptions to the manner which it had been called. ‘There was no. necessity, they felt, for rushing the caucus. They did not believe that it was the proper thing te vote for Senator Quay while serious criminal charges were hanging over his head and before the supreme court had had an opportunity, at his cwn re- quest, to take action upon them. The caucus itself was a dismal failure. The hall the house of rey- yesentatives, as as the galleries. was packed with heelers and shouters. There was more than enough of manufactured enthusiasm, but not nough of votes. On the first ballot Senator Quay had 9S - 3: Hon. :B.. FT. Jones of Pittsbur: Senator C. Li. Magee cf. Pitts votes. Sen- ator Magee moved to make the nomina- tion unanimous, in that way 103 votes were counted for M. S. Quay, or 19 votes less than a Ilepublican major- ity of the legislature.

His boast- ‘ ed strength had dwindled to these small proportions. There can be no douht as to the ul- timate defeat of Quay and the com- plete overthrow of the Quay machine. Quay’s friends are declaring that they can get a certain number of Demo- crats if be to vote for him on the joint ballot of the house and sen- ate. This is not only an ult to the Democracy, for it implies that a cer zin number of their senators and rep- resentatives can he bought. but it gives the lie to the public statement of the Democratic leader, Colonel J. M. Guf- fey, who in a public interview on Sat- urday last said: CAN'T BUY DEMOCRATS. “Not a single Democrat of the ate or house will vote for Quay. this knowing that Quay’s f(rictids making claims of being able to contre if necessary a number of Democratic votes. All the men elected to the sembly on Democratic tickets are occrats, and I not -bel them will cast ballots didate for any cther party.” This, ‘th is the situation; on word of tl leader the Democrat stand like a solid wall.

Senator William Flinn was elected chairman. He made a ringing speech, and so did Secretary of the Commonwealth and Senator-elect Da- vid Martin. They declared that they could not vote for Senator Quay until more light had been thrown upon the charges made against him. A com- mittee was apnointed to draft a state- ment to oi%*en to the public show- ing just where the anti-Quay anti-snap caucus Nepublicans stcod.
