Schilykill Endorses Him For
State Chairman.
SOME STUBBORN BATTLES FOUGHT
GILKESON DOES NOT GET A SINGLE
DELEGATE IN THE COUNTY.
LOSCH AND WHITEHOUSE FAIL i
Hon. D. D. Phillips Has no Opposition In the
Second District Dengler and Ball
Win Easily Riot Threatened
at the Pottsville Con
vention.
Ono of tho hottest battles ever fought
within tho ranks of tho Republican party of
Schuylkill county was concluded this morn
ing by a sweeping victory for Senator If. S.
Quay in tlio tight mado against him for the
chairmanship of tho Republican state com
mittee. Quay gets every delegate in Schuyl
kill county, which is more than many of his
most Siingulno friends had hoped for.
Congressman "Jack" Robinson, of Media,
one of Quay's stauuehost lieutenants, viewed
tho Schuylkill field of battle yesterday and,
after visiting Pottsville, Mahanoy City and
Tamaqua, camo to town last night and said
tho indications were that so far as this county
was concerned Quay's victory would be com
plete, although he realized that all tho power
possiblo was being moved against tho Senator
in Mahanoy City. IIu' heard that ono dele
gate in Mahanoy City had been tillered $50
and five free tickets to Atlantic City for his
family in return for an out-and-out vote for
Hastings. Robinson did not remain here
long and proceeded to Ashland.
Congressman Robinson did not fully grasp
the nature of tho fight iu tho First district.
It was not really an anti-Quny fight at any
time, but alight against Senator Coylo. In
other words, tho victors assert that they have
won everything they fought for, namely :
tho election of Quay delegates without the
assistance-of Senator Coyle, and, in fact, in
spite of his opposition to tho delegates who
have been elected. Hence, tho two delegates
elected aro for Senator Quay, but anti-Coyle.
The fact that the convention In this dis
trict endorsed tho course of Representative
Wyatt, and failed to say anything about the
Senator from tho 30th Senatorial district, is
looked upon by many as a condemnation of
tho hitter's course. Ro that as it may, tho
fact that tho convention refused to endorse
Senator Coylo places that gentleman in an
euiliarrassing position and proves conclusively
that his star is waning.
When it was announced Thursday night
that Charles Smith, of Mahanoy City, had
withdrawn from the contest for a stato delo
gatesliip in this, district many supposed that
Dengler and Ball would have nothing to do
but lay back on their oars, but tho more
shrewd and far-seeing politicians advised
against a cessation of any hostilities and
urged as active work as if a full-fledged fight
was still on hand, and this nil vice- proved val
uable, for within a few hours Hon. M. I.
Fowler, of town, an old-timo opponent of
Senator Quay, and John Phillips, of Mahanoy
City, were launched lu tho field aud they ut
once commenced u vigorous eleventh-hour
light, but it was of no avail, us shown by tho
returns.
Tho Second district fight was so clearly
ouo-sided iu favor of Senator Quay that thcro
is nothing to say iu regard to tho returns.
In the Third district Senator Quay has
also won. The Gilkoson people claim that
Job is against Quay, but assurances aro givon
by thoso who know tho delegate elected well
that ho will be in lino for the Junior Senator
when his name is culled at tho stuto convon
tion, and this statement appears to lie con
firmed by the defeat of Woldy, who (s a pro
nounced anti-Quay man.
Tho hottost battle of the four was that in
tho Fourth district, aud lion. S. A. Losch, the
Schuylkill Haven statesman, who for weeks
past has been filling tho Philadelphia news
papors with self-made interviews primed for
Gilkuson's edification, goes down iu the
wreckage with ex-District Attorney White-
houso and a gentleman named Milliugtou, of
Tremont.
Tho convention of this district was red
hot to tho very moment of adjournment, and
ut one time there wus danger that it would
end In a riot, ulthough this distiulumo was
duo to a personal encounter between uu ovor-
ardont Gilkosou admirer who could not re-
frain from ruflianUuu, and Congressman
Charles N. Rrtunni, who mado an unswerving
battle for Quay, and was not duo to any
proceeding iu tho convention Itself.
Tho circumstances of tho encounter as
furnished by a reliable Pottsvillo correspon
dent aro that Brumm was in tho convention,
talking to one of the delegates, when Jack
White, an ollicial at the Schuylkill Haven
almshouse, who was standing by, heard the
name of Whitchouse mentioned and said to
lirumm, "You are a liar." lirumm turned
and asked, "Do you mean to call mo a liar?"
White answered "Yes," whereupon lirumm
struck him a blow with his fist in tho face.
A crowd Immediately gathered and further
hostilities were prevented. While left the
convention hall and swore out a warrant for
Ilrumm's arrest beforo a Pottsville Justice.
An opportunity to get lirumm out of the con
vention hall, Ilrumm's friends say, presented
itself and the Oilkoson people lost no timo in
grasping it. Tho warrant was placed in the
hands of Constable Wade, also known as a
strong Gilkeson man, who tried to get into
tho convention to get lirumm, which caused
a great'uproar that extended into tho conven
tion. A riot inside and outside seemed im
minent, when lirumm left the hall, furnished
bail before the Justice who issued the
warrant, and returned to tho convention.
This occurrence was tho cause of tho delay
in receiving the returns.

GOSSIP ABOUT THE "PROBABLES."
Postmaster Oenoral Blssell and Secretary
Olney Talked of, While New York State
Favors Judges Rufus W. Feckham
and D. Cady Herrlck.
Washington, Aug. 10. Thoro is much
spooulatiou as to who will ho President
Cleveland's choico for tho United States
suprome court bench to succood tho lato
Justice Jackson, hut hoyond tho montlon
of available names thoro Is llttlo of a
deflnlto nnturo thus onrly. It Is tho
goner.il understanding that no appoint
ment will be made until af tor the mooting
of congross, as tho placo Is ono of too much
Importance nnd dignity for a rocoss np
polnteo to go on the bonch and tako the
chances of subsequent rejection by tho
Bonato. Thoro has been no case In the
rooont history of the country whore an ap
polntmont has boon made to tho supromo
bench during n congrosslonal rocess.
It Is suggostod that tho selection Is most
likely to ho mado from tho oast, and prob
ably from New York, as Mr. Cleveland
mado tho last appointmont that of Jus
tice White from tho south, after tho son
ato had rojoctod tho names of Horn
blower and Feckham, both of Now York.
AVhon tho serious Illness of Justlco Jack
sou was first announced gossip inentlonod
tho nnrao of Mr. Blssell, then In tho cabi
net, as the probnhlo successor. The sama
suggestion is heard at the proscnt time.
As Is usual whon an Important placo Is
to bo filled, the n.nno of Secretary Car
lisle Is mentioned, but tho general opinion
Is that should Mr. Cleveland go to his
onbinot for an appointoo ho Is more llkoly
to consider Mr. Wilson or Mr. Smith. Tho
name of Itcpresontativo Joslnh Patterson,
of Tonnesseo, will probably bo callod to
tho attontion of tho presidont, as ho oomcs
from tho state of tho lato justlco, and is
known as a most loyal friend of Mr.
Clovolnnd. Tho namo of Don M. Dickin
son and Solioltor General Holmes Conrad
are also montioned.
Thoro aro porsons, howovor, whoso rela
tions with the president are- of tho closest
character, who bollovo that Mr. Cleve
land's first choico would bo Mr. Olnoy.the
soorotary of stato. It Is known that he
places implicit confidence, in tho sound
ness of Mr. Olnoy's opinions on ull im
portant logul questions which come beforo
him, nnd that ho fully appreciates tho
great nssistnnco Mr. Olney has rondorod
him In tho disposition of tho groat ques
tions that have nrlsen duriuc tho last two
years. Whether Mr. Olnoy's rcsldonco In
Massachusetts will render him unavaila
ble is not known, but It Is tho opinion of
many woll informed porsons hero thnt,
but for this objection, Mr. Oluoy would
surely bo tho man. Next to him Mr. Ru
fus Peckham Is thought by many to bo
tho most llkoly to roeolve the nomination.
Tho question of confirmation would not
bo raised, It is said, as It was lu the cases
ofWheelorH. Peckham and Hornblower.

Albany, Aug. 10. Judge Rufus W.
Poekham, who Is mentioned ns a possible
successor to Justice Jaokson, of tho su
promo court of tho United Statos, Is tho
socond judge lu sucoosslon to tho chiof
judgeship of tho court of appeals of this
stato. Ho Is a porsonal friend of Prosl
dont Cleveland, and was one of his ohlef
advisers whon ho; was governor. Ho vras
olectod to the court of appoals in. 18S6,
and re-elocted ln1899 for eight years, his
term expiring iu 11)00. His father boforo
him was a justlco of the court. Judgo
Pockhnm writes the straight opinions
handed down from the present bench, and
Is considered n jurist of extraordinary
ability.
Judge D. Cady Horrlck, of the supromo
court of this district, a rosldent of Albany
and a very closo personal friend of Presi
dent Cleveland, is also being talked of
hero as Judgo Jackson's succoesor. lie,
more than any other man, was responsi
ble for the nomination of Grover Clove
laud at Chicago In 1803, and his friends
here bellovo that tho president will favor
him. He Is a brilliant jurist and well
known to tho bar of tho state.

An Interesting Sprint.
Much interest is manifested iu the one
hundred yard foot race between Charles
Kirlin, son of the Main street druggist, and
E. 11. Brtmim, the jeweler, for $11)0 a side,
which is to take placo at tho Trotting park
next Wednesday afternoon. Elmer Opp, the
Ferguson House chef, is backing Kirlin and
Brumm is puttlug up his own wherewithal.
The race has been on the tapis for several
weeks and grew out of a banter. Kirlin was
talking font racing to a young man and
Brumm slid Kirlin couldn't give him three
yards in a hundred for $3. Kiilin talked
even start and finally the exchanges led Opp
to oiler backing for Kirlin to the extent of
$100 for a 100-yard race with even start,
which was promptly taken up. Kirlin has
had pretensions to sprinting for some time
and lias won a race, while Brumm has never
been considered in connection with the cinder
path and it is now thought that he may prove
a "sleeper." Brumm ran a trial race at
Itingtown yesterday and, it is said, showed
up iu excellent form. Kirlin liad a trial at
the Trotting park with equal success. The
rare is exciting as much attention as a pro
fessional one.
