"The bribery Investigation Is proving a boomerang to tlx men wno instigutea It," suit prominent local member of the legislature this morning. In dincusslng the dlscloiure that have thus far been made In connection with the Investigation. The Idea of bringing charge! of bribery was suggested by Gen. vt. 11.

Koontx, of Somerset, an Independent republican, and an antlQuaylte of the rankest typo. Ills motive ostensibly was to Implicate the Quay men, but the evidence thus far adduced does not compromise the Quay members even In the slightest degree. It docs Implicate democratic members, however, and by reudlng between the lines It Is not hiird to discover that the motive for bribery, If there was any, wa to keep the democratic members lined up for George A. Jenks for United States senator. "It Is also apparent that the only men who could find an advuntagH In keeping the democrats solid for Jenks were the very same? Independent leaders who have brought about this Investigation.

I hope the charges will be sifted to the bottom, for I believe It will be found In the end that some of the men who have shown such an liiMine desire to lay the charge of bribery on the heads of the Quay members are the most deeply Involved. No proof has yet been shown that money was used In connection with the McCar-rell bill. The charges In reference to this matter are rather Indefinite. Nor has there been any evidence that money was used to secure votes for Senator Quay. It strikes me that these dastardly assailants of character have been foiled again.

They huve certainly proved nothing very dam aging up to the present." W. fiiiffev returned this mornhia' from Harrlsburg. He jubilant over the prospects for the Bruce charter.

The absolute refusal of County Chair man Joseph Howley to discuss politics or to Indicate whether or not he is a candidate for re-election as county chairman, has given rise to the belief that Mr. Howley will not ne a candidate, and that lie Is simply holding off any expression In the matter to make a turn at the last moment in the Interest of some friend whom he may desire to have succeed him. That Mr. Howley will meet with opposition Is a foregone conclusion. Quite a number of local democrats are of the opinion that Howley Is not a candidate and that ho does not want the ottlce for another term.

The McKeesport city republican committee met last night for a few minutes but did not transact any business, owing to nmiill attendance. An adjournment was taken until Saturday night, when It Is expected a chairman will be elected. The light for the chairmanship is between I ounty Controller w. lv Thompson and Deputy Coroner David Hardy, and Is the hottest McKeesport politicians have seen fur many oons. Thompson Is the pres ent chairman.

Friends of Judge Kennedy have placed in circulation a petition endorsing him for the supreme court. It Is being passed among the lawyer and a number have signed It The endorsement sets forth Judge Kennedy's experience as a lawyer and Judge, and highly praises his ability. The John Daliell republican club, of the Seventeenth ward, has endorsed 8amuel K. Kerr for another term as police magistrate. He has already received the endorsements of the republicans of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Klghteenth wards.

Congressman Joseph C. Sibley passed through I'tttsburg last night en route from Harrlsburg to his home In Franklin. He has greatly Improved In health, but will stay home for a few days' rest before returning to the state capital. He Is convinced that his plan to break the deadlock Is a failure, but he thinks history will justify his course. IWore leaving Harrlsburg for Washington last night Senator I'enrose gave out the following statement apropos of the I'nlted States senatorial contest: "I was.

Indeed, delighted with the good feeling existing among the friends of Senator Quay and wtth the earnestness ami the lighting spirit expressed In the caucus last night. Senator guar's colors are in loyal hands, and they will not lie struck to any band of Insurgents. His candidacy represents all that Is regular and stalwart In the republican organisa-tlon of Pennsylvania. The few men who. for personal or other motives, are leading this fight of the republican bolters against the caucus nominee, cannot succeed.

I am convinced that when the senate reconvenes Pennsylvania will have two representatives In that body, and that I shall still be the Junior It seems to be settled that John F. Sem-melrock will succeed tbe late A. C. llofmelstr ss common councilman from the Twenty-six ward. Semmeirock has found favor In the -yes of the republican leaders of the waM, which means that he will receive tha support of th organisation.

This return of outside specu lation, which wat not as a whole of very large proportions, to-day, must be chiefly ascribed to reports of a 'deal. It was such reports which gave the last upward fillip to the wild advance of January, and the advance occurred, it will be remembered, in aplte of the fact that practically all the 'rumors' were officially denied. A a result to this recent Incident, the average speculator seem not to care iar- ttcularly whether current rtimora, as set afloat, mmm Inl all thut t- thai fklently powerful operator be benlnd the rumon to move the stork market, terapora rlly or permanently, at If the reports were true.

This happened even with soma of the anthracite shares; It also occurred with the granger and other railway stocks; while the really nurp advances occurred In proper ties soch as fturar certificates, Metropolitan Ktreet Railway, American Steel A Wire, l'a- clflc Mall, People' (its.

An Interesting and at the same time pathetic history attaches to It. On December 2. 1H, Kunkleman visited his lawyer, X. A.
