He will not hold back appointments in spite of the declarations of the Wanamakerites and their newspaper organs. In all probability the main Cabinet appointments will go to the Senate' to-morrow and in all probability also the names of these Cabinet members will be: Attorney-General, John P. Elkin; Secretary of the Commonwealth, W. Griest, of Lancaster; Insurance Commissioner. Israel W.

Durham, of Philadelphia. These names will be confirmed. OPPOSITION AT WORK. There has been a determined effort all day. long to organize an opposition to Elkin.

The Democratic Senators were called together and an attempt' was made to round them up David Martin, but the' Democrats split. Five or six of them were fair enough and astute enough to understand that to antagonize a Governor would be a serious thing for them and in all legislative bodies it is usually con-ceded that the Executive has a right to make personal selections. Mr. Martin, having become a bolter from the Republican party, of course recognizes no such right, but he is in the minority, Mr. Elkin will be confirmed, and the new administration will Btart npon the high road to success with thewdorsement of the Senate.

'U'-ANTET BADLY A barrelful of manifestoes from the anti-Quay headquarters- was sent around to the telegraph offices at midnight-and the newspapers were beseeched to use them. These manifestoes claimed a great victory, but thy refrained from explaining the demoralized condition of the forces of the bolters. They are split. They cannot get together and they are going to bed to-night in mortal terror of what the future has in stor? for them. On the other hand, the Quay forces are confident and aggressive and are proclaiming that victory is certain.

Among the names to go to the Senate is that of Thomas J. Stewart, for Adjutant-General. The bolters will look in vain for a Wanamaker name. This administration is Republican to the core. Bolters will not be recognized.

HARRISBURG, Jan. high noon to-day, at the conclusion of a most impressive ceremony, retiring Lieutenant-Governor Lyon advanced to the front of the stand that had been erected at the west side of the new Capitol building, and in a tunc, that was clearly audible to the thousands of people who crowded the wide plaza and far out into State street, introduced to them and through them to the people of the great Commonwealth, ''His Excellency, the Governor of Pennsylvania." The densely crowded multitude had stood in reverent silence while the formalities were being gone through with, and when the new executive, full fledged in the robes of his exalted office, stood before them, it was as if his appearance had oroken an ail-prevailing spell, and the cheer of congratulation that went up from ttiose the forefront at first, spread and added to its volume until the shouting became deafening. A PERFECT DAY. The day dawned clear, and from behind the white clouds that still floated here and there in the sky the sun sent a few mellowing rays to warm the murkv air soon after 7 o'clock.

Then there was an hour of doubt. But by 10 o'clock there was every evidtnee of a perfect day as would befit so momentous an occasion. Eleven o'clock found all roads leading to the" -Capitol, and from then until the time set for the inaugural ceremony the crowds surged impatiently about, increas ing, each moment until there seemed not to be another inch of available space. I'Pon the spacious stand at the front of the Capitol, Major Dclaney met the invited- guests and assigned them to their places with that composure and affability which is his and there was nothing to mar the well planned arrangements for their comfort. To the right was an elevated platform for the distinguished ladies and which commanded an unobstructed view of all that occurred.

MANY WOMEN THERE. Conspicuous among these and occuDvine chairs at the front were Mrs. Stone and Mrs, Hastings. About them were grouped their children, including Miss Helen Hastings, Miss Miss Marcaret Stone, Miss Isabel Stmie and Master John Stone, and Mr. Stephen Stone, with his sister, Mrs.

Dr. D. Percy Hicklev and her husband. Other ladies on the platform were Mrs. William F.

William W. Griest was born in Christiana', this county, ou. September 22. 1S.V.). He is a son of Major Ellwood (Jriest, the present postmaster of Lancaster city.

After attending the public schools in hU victuiry he entered the Millersville State formal School, graduating with honors, in ISTti. During the next three he taught school in the county and later became associated with his father in the publication of the Weekly Inquirer. Early in life Mr. Griest took an active interest in Republican politics and in 1S.S" he was appointed clerk to the County Commissioners, a position he has filled with ability to the present time. Kor fifteen years he has beeu a member of the Lancaster City School Board iind for several years he was (hairuian of the Executive Committee of the State Association of County Commissioners and was a member of the Pennsylvania Tux Kevisi.n Commission.

Twice he was elected a delegate to the Republican State convention and he served for a time on the Executive Committee of the State Central Committee, in lfZHi he was delegate-at-larpre to the Rennbli- enn National Convention th IWlllliri'itatl McKinley.

of Idaho, one of the pioneers of Republicanism, who was born at Kittaning, but went West a number oj years ago says: "Six years ago the Republican factions in Montana, Washington and Wyoming deadlocked the Legislatures, and those States were without full representation in the Senate for more tfun two years. At the same time the Kepvblicans of North Dakota got into a wrange about petty local affairs, and a Democrat was elected bv the Republican Legislature. I hope that my native fctate will not thus disappoint us with factional differences. I hops there will be no deadlock. anA oannot Pj rat a democrat should be elected.

nave otten heard Democratic Senators say that they would as soon ike Senator Quay's simple word as take the bond of some men. I have heard many similar expressions of confidence in him from aggressive Democrats of the cointry. Thev know that he is a hard tighfer, but he fights fair, and, when campaigns are over, he is simply an American citizei, working patriotica'llj vith all others for the common welfare of our country." GRAY HOPES FOR QUAY'S ELEC-- TION. Senator Gray, of Delaware, recently a member the Peace Commission, and one of tie grandest men the Democratic party ever sent to the Senate from any State, said: "There seems to be no likelihood cf the election of a Democrat at Harruburg. Therefore I shall read the morning papers with the hope of seeing the mws of the re-election of Senator Quay.

He has undoubtedly served hia State wit! fidelity and devotion for a lifetime, and he ia to-day one of the most popular rr en in the Senate, regardless of political affiliations. Senator Quay is no more wel in the Republican cloak room thar, he is in the'Democratic cloakroom. He is welcome at any point in the capitol, and all the time, because he is Tn to 8enial, generous, kind, honorable and fair in everything that he says or does. 1 know of no man whom I more highly esteem for his sincerity, integrity, and lofty sense of honor. He is a great man and a very strong man." Senator Burrows, of Michigan, the great tariff expert and orator, says: "I do not believe that there is any doubt that Senator Quay will be re-elected.

The first ballot for L'nited States Senator has been taken and two hundred votes were cast in the House and forty-seven In the Senate, a total of 247: A majority of 247 is 124. Senator Quay received 112 in both Senate and House, or only 12 short of an election.

His to-night is jubilant. All the 'claims' of the Wanamaker-Van Valkenburg personal spite bureau have been smashed into smithereens, and if there is any political wisdom attached to that bureau it must be in a sad state of mind to-night. A couple of nights ago the anti-Quay managers gave out the deliberate statement that Quay would be 25 short of an election to-day, and that he would lose right along after that. The fact is that he has gained over the caucus vote and is in a far better position to-night than he has been. Every effort has been made to break into his support, but the effort, has failed.

His vote caucus was 1 IK). Hia vote to-day was 112, with Harrold, of Beaver county, laid "up sick' and with Gobin no longer a member of the having taken the. LieutenanWterernor's oath today. Quay, therefore was deprived of the votes of both. Harrold and Gobin, and yet he gained three.

He iff expected to add to his. forces to-morrow, when both houses will meet ic joint ballot. VAIN WORK OF BOLTERS. The bolters took all sorts of curious They scattered their votes among Dalzell, Kice. of Luzerne; Tubbs, of Tioga, whose name was entered as a candidate in the Senate, but who was not supported even by the man who entered him; Judge Stewart, of Franklin county; Irwin, of Clearfield; ex-Congressman Huff, of Westmoreland; Charles W.

Stone, and a few lesser lights. The opposition evidently fears Quay's growing strength, and since the balloting this afternoon a scheme has been started to concentrate the scattering votes upon C. L. Magee and try to break into the solid Quay wall to-morrow. Magee is believed to be wholly sincere in the stand he has taken for Quay as the regular nominee, and is said to have served notice that he will not stand for any such arrangement.

The anti-Quay managers of the personal spite and disappointed ambition campaign have been declaring right along that the Governor's appointments were to be held back and were to be bartered off for votes for Quay. The claim is on a par with most of the ether claims sent out from such an unreliable source. Having cut themselves loose from the Republican party these Wanamaker followers have never been in a position to know anything whatever concerning the Governor's intentions. Governor Stone has made his promises to the people, and although the whole Wanamaker campaign has been a series of despicable attacks upon the good faith of the Governor, the latter intends to keep xX '-x Sx xx i 4 Special to The Inquirer.

17. The situation at Harrisburg has caused more comment in Washington than any Senatorial situation in any State since the Republican party of Delaware threw away its opportunity a few years ago, by factional disturbances in the Legislature. The emi nence of Senator Quay, his years of splen did service to the Republican party of the entire nation, bis celebrated success ful stand for the rights of Pennsylvania industries, when the Democratic free trade Wilson bill was pending, his manly stand before the Senate Investigating Commission, when all others wex'e dodging, his many deeds of national renown for the welfare of his country as well as of his party, naturally induces public men to "take sincere and hearty interest in the situation at Harrisburg, where there is now concluding the disgraceful man hunt of the past year Senator Allison, of Iowa, the recogniz-jd leader of the Senate, says: "In any State and at any time, it is deplorable to see party organizations disrupted, and party purposes delayed or deferred, or destroyed by minorities. In our Republic there never can come a time' when rule prevail-; and future will always be obliged to stand together if they would attain and maintain strength and suc cess. ADMIRATION FOR QUAY.

"While I would not take any part in the Pennsylvania situation, because it would be manifestly improper for any Senator to do so, I do not hesitate to say that I know, esteem, admire and respect Senator Quay as one of the most nonoraDie men 1. nave ever known, in public life or in private life. Such has been my opinion of him for many years, and nothing has occurred or can occur to change the feelings of regard, confidence and esteem for him which I sincerely en iertain." Senator CockreH, of Missouri, the Dem ocratic leader of the Senate on the Ap propriation Committee, the Democratic Senator whose careful attention to details of legislation has saved this country many millions of dollars, says: "I am first and always a Democrat, and always pray tor the success of Democratic can didates. I would gladly see a Democrat elected to the Senate by the Pennsylva nia But, if a Democrat cannot be elected, I should be glad to have my friend, Senator Quay, elected to suc ceed himself. I should be pleased to continue our association on the Committee on Appropriations.

He has never advo cated an appropriation which did not seem immediately necessary for the pub- jic interest; and he has opposed and de feated many an item which did not have merit for its object. As a personal friend I esteem him most He is certainly a frank, honest, reliable man in whom all have comDlete confidence.

I have never heard a man in public life speak other than in praise of Senator Q.y- counsel is sought by all Republican leaders, and his advice is always sound. On matters of national interest, such as appropriation bills, his counsel is sought by Democratic leaders, all ot whom have perfect confidence in his judgment and integrity. As I said before we came to the Senate together twelve years ago. I have just been elected for another term, and I hope that Senator Quay will also be elected. I am sure that my services have been no more valuable to -Minnesota than Senator Quay's services have been to Pennsylvania: and I am just as sure that there is not in tke Keystone State any man who can render better service than he has rendered and can render.

THE IXQCIUF.R BTREAU. t410-U' Street N. W. WASHINGTON, 17.

The unexpected death this morning of Librarian of Congress John Russell Young came as a great shock to his friends here. While Mr. Young's illness was a protracted one, a fatal outcome was not anticipated. It was not until after midnight this morning, when he was seized with a sudden sinking spell, that his physicians apprehended that the end was approaching. His brother, Congressman James Rankin Young, who was in the city, was hastily summoned, and he and the other members of the family remained at the distinguished Philadelphian's bedside until he had passed awaj.

Mr. Young had been confined to his residence, No. 1755 street northwest, since December 129, but had been indisposed for some time prior to that date. He continued his work at the Congressional Library, however, and did not give up until he was compelled to do so by his physicians. He never rallied after taking to his bed, and the inevitable end was foreseen several days ago.

The immediate cause of death was acute Bright's disease, the result of a complication of maladies and overwork. The attending physician, Dr. James Greed, declares that Mr. Young's collapse was CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX. THE WEATHER Forecast From Washington.
