'The public did not know of this, neither did many of Ih buyers, and really some of the ma "ui'aoturers were not aware of U. The Pittsburgh prc-ducers were not slow in -getting on to it, however, and the aversion of a sudden and bard drop was really marvelous. The local men handled the i.rop such a manner that tnt-v did r.ot low by it and kept the business in good s'hape, by which it has been brought back to ftandard. It was well done. f-i'i the Pitts manufacturers deserve great ereuu tor in operation, the majority of ca-mot be gotten into shape; in time to entirely meet the demand.

Saturday and yesterday re-turred last r.is,ht. He to say where he bad been, but admitted his mission had been one of a. political nature. The only thing the senator would say was that he had "stopped a leak." Mr. Kenr.edv was asked if he thought Senator Quay would put up a superior court ticket.

The senator said he did not know what Mr. Qnsy wouM do in that matter, as it was a little early for him to talk about the court slate. Personally Mr. Kennedy is anxious to se Judge Or-lady of Huntingdon and Judge VViiiard of Lackawanna defeated for the nomination. He thinks that neither of the mn' are fit for the bench.

The Allegheny senator was a.ked about the probability of two conventions. Mr. Kennedy say- he can hardly believe that such a inhig is probable. He pays that Quay will have so large a majority when the" convention meets that ii the other side iid have any idea of making a large r.uxn- br of contests they will see that such-a course would be useless. He thinks one convention wili be enough and Ouay will' be chairman, with a handsome majority.

On the subject of temporary chairman of the state convention, Senator Kennedy said that he did not think the Quay peo-" pie had settlcij on anybody yet or given the matter a great deal of thought. He is of opinion tht if Waiter Lyon. Congressman Robinson or Senator Wesley Thomad is r.ot chosen tor the posi tion tne temporary chairman wili come from, the country. Senator Kennedy says he does not want the position. The returns from the Saturday primaries were gratifying to Senator Kennedy.

"He said the big right would soon be over in Philadelphia, and there would be numerous surprises in the Quaker city, A politician, who is not taking sides with either faction, said last night that he thought the -tminstructed delegates to the convention would control it. He thinks these people will get toether and bring about a compromise. The gentleman was not in-cpared to give details of the compromise. People who have money to bet that Quay Will be the next chairman of the state central committee re having a hard time finding takers. Tho combine folks are making a great fuss about having money to burn," but if they have they are keeping it in their clothes or not betting it on Giikcson.

A couple of Magee's friends were around Saturday night trying to put up a little money. TLey warded the earth. It is reported that a henchman of Mr. Magee put up some money for him and the terms or the bet weald-indicate that the Pittsburgh, leader was ready to shake his man Gii-keson at any stage of the game. The gentleman handling the money would not word the Wager that "Gilkeson would defeat Quay." The Magee people insisted on betting that would be beaten." The Quay man took $-'50 of their "stuff" that way.

The combine people will not I take a bet thai Quay will be elected chairman or that he will name the next chairman. Prominent members of the spotting fraternity around town say there is verr i tie combine monty to he found on terms that are worth considering. They shv they have heard of only one bet on Quay and Giikeson. It -was made between a cciude of down-town salooji-kts-peis and SiiO was put up. tVojiIfN Party Nomina Hons.
