Donald Cameron. SELECTED ON THE FIRST BALLOT Fenroie Received 133 Votes, While Ex Postmaster General W&naker Received 75 Mr. Wanamaker Aanounoes That the Fight Against Sena tor Quay Will Continue. ItARttiBBURO, Jan. 0. The faction M He publlonn contest for the luooesslon to Hit seat in the United Stated senate occupied by J. Donald Cameron, whloh hoe kept the pc jple of the at-tte In a fever heat for mnuy weeks, wtulinally aettledlast night Iu the joint jmrty canons of the Hepubll oan members of the legislature who oboea State Senator Boies Penrose, of Philadel phia, as the man upon whom the hqnor shall be bestowed. Of the 21S Ilepubll oansln the legislature 911 were present ami voting. Of these votes Penrose- re salved 188 ; ex-Postmaster Geneaal John 'Wanamaker, 7K; Senator Cameron, 1; Congressman John B. Ilobluson, 1 ; Su perior Court J ml go Charles K. Hloe, of Wilkesbarrs, 1. The legislature will rat ify Mr, Penrose's selection on Jan. 19. The place had boon oouceded to Phila delphia from the start nnd the fight was thus narrowed down to Wanamaker and Penrose. The latter reoelved tho Bupport of Senator Quay, uml his suooees isn great victory for that leader. Mr. Wanamaker wns baoked by the faction in which David Martin is the lender, assisted by strong or ganizations of business men in nearly overy county. Much bltternoss was ex hibited on both sides. Tho oauons wns hold In tho hall of tho houso of representatives. Contrary to tho usual custom the newspaper representa tives and general public woro admitted, the result being that tho hall wns pnoked to suffocation, Senator John O. Grady, who afterwards oast the single vote rooeivod by Mr. Cam eron, was tho caucus ohalrman. He held the crowd In admirable check, and was quick to hammer any attempt to inter rupt the prooeodlngs. The Wanamaker men conceded their defeat early in the day, and the meeting was therefore robbed of muoh of its Interest to followers of tho former postmaster general. But the Pen rose shouters were out In great force, and it wus difficult for them to repress tho joy they folt. Tho final nunouncomout of Penrose's victory was greeted with a tre mendous shout Speaker of the Houso Honry K. Boyer nominated Mr. Penrose In tho caucus. In his speech ho described him as "n young man without stain or roproach, incapablo of a moan or dlshonost action ; tho poor of any young man in the country." Contin uing Mr. Boyer said : "I bollovo Bolos Pen rose will bo ono of tho foremost mon of tho country. No young mon has over gono to the senate nt Washington with a brighter future, or possosslug greater flt noss nnd courago for tho position." Half u dozen seconding spcoohes woro mado. Senator Knuffnmn, of Lanoaster, nomi nated Mr.Wuunmuker,whom ho dosorlbod ns a "God fearlug, law abiding cltizou, a typical Ponnsy lvunlau.u man of tho people, a gentleman who has risen from tho hum blest walks of llfo to bo tho greatest post master general this country overy had. A man who stands toduy as tho greatest morchnnt in tho world.'' Bolos Penrose Is ono of tho youngost men ovor choson to represent Pennsyl vania In the United States senate. Ho will bo 87 years old in Novomber. He has beou a member of the Pennsylvania sen ate since 1888, his ability as an orator and parliamentarian having made him a leador of that body. Two years ago Mr. Penrose was Mr. Quay's choice for mnyor of Philadelphia. David Martin opposed hltn, and succeeded in defeating the young senntor lu his contest for tho nomination. This fight resulted, in tho rupture bo tween Messrs. Martin nnd Quay, and the fuctlonal light haB since continued with lnoroasiug bltternoss. Mr. Penrose grad uated from Harvard with distinguished honors. He read law with tho late Wayno MaoVeagh, and has boeu tiluwyorlu Phil adelphia since 1883. While the caucus was deciding tho sena torship Senator Quay remained at the Penrose hendquurters In a hotel near the capltol, awaiting tho nows of victory, and Mr. Wanamaker, surrounded by a large gathering of Philadelphia business mon, at a rival hotel oalmly waited for the an nouncement of his defeat. s Even while the doath knell of his sena torial aspirations was being souucled Mr. Wanamaker was planning to continue the light against Senator Quay in tho state. At a big muss meeting of his supporters Mr. Wanamaker madu a speech, in which he declared his Intention of carrying the fight against Senator Quay luto every county, uud to contest with him tho right to name the party candidate for state treasurer and auditor general. Senator Quay's term expires lu March, 18K9, and, aooordlng to Mr. Wanumakor's friend the business men will continue their X gaulzatton with the object of defeating Mr. Quay should he be a oandldate for re election. The opening of the legislature yesterday was of minor Importance, all Interest cen tering in the senatorial contest Lieuten ant Governor Lyon called the senate to order, and Senator McCarrell was chosen president pro tern. The retiring chief olerk, A. D. Fetterolf, called the house to order, and H. It Boyer, ot Philadelphia, was chosen speakjr, receiving 100 votes, against 33 votes for M. J.
