Practically we have accomplished this In Pittsburgh now, as our ruies prevent public employes in most cases from being delegates in conventions. I am in favor of extending this rule to all offices. That would include me. As to the questions of the use of motiey in politics being raised. I believe the public has a rijht to know what has been expended.

Committees and officials should be compelled to file sworn statements. Then the public would know Just what had been spent, and how It was disbursed.

This was Senator Quay's answer to the hist roorback set afloat by the combine during its dying struggles.

Senator M. S. Quav was to-day elected chairman of the state central oommittee in the Republican "state convention by tion. It was au unconditional surrender on the part of the combine. There was but one vote taken and that gave the senator a majority of 30.

The combine was whipped fair and square, and there was nothing for It to do but submit to defeat. The victory in the couventiou to-day closed the decisive battle of the "old man against the rings and corporations. Other wars will follow, but the lines may never again be so tightly drawn, and the. men who managed this contest against Sanator Quay will probably never be able to pull together again as they have in the past four months. eumvi.

in to. xiiirtudi ui ait uuui l4 cfc day think of what all this victory of Quay means, if he is true to bis promise tq fight until the last vestige power In politics is removed from the Combiners. Never has one man fought so fierce a battle and snatched victory from defeat as Quay bs done to-day. In all America to-night there is none greater than the little sena tor from Beaver, and perhaps none happier. Xot in all this long fight has Quay and to his closest friends he had long ago mapped out just how he would be Victorious.

It was never bis intention to compromise, and he kept his word. The. combine is trying- to create the im pression that the fight was compromised. They are simply twisted on words and should have salt! "surrendered. They did so, and the terms were- unconditional.

The administration saw it wad whipped last night and it sued for peace to save disgrace. From midnight until morning there was much done In this Tight. The combine ap plied for a conference, at which it might arrange for the translernng of its sword, GUkeson sent' word to Quay headquarters asking- for a He had possession of the opera house, but was anxiou'3 get it oT his hands, as he saw there was danger of. his being held accountable for the loss of life.

Theeonr.5ne chose Stnator WllHam Flinn of Pittsburgh, George Graham of lhil-i adelphia, tnd ex-ConRT ssnaan Yurdiev of Bucks county to talk -surrender with Quay. The "old man" placed the matter in the hands of Judge eSamuel MFiler of Mercer, ex-Senator Cooper of Delaware, Lieut. Gov. L.yon of Allegheny and Frank of hdadelphia.

The gentlemen Cfcia the conference in the state treas-uerer's office. The order of business In the convention shows exactly what was done. GUkeson agreed to withdraw his police from the opera, house. That was done. Senator Quay has agreed from the start that he would not oppose Hastings for permanent chairman.

His friends renewed the promise this morning. The senator has given out for the past several weeks that he was in favor of nominating the governor's appointees for superior court judges. The combine was Informed this would be done. It was also agreed, as it had been last June, that Ben Haywood would have no opposition for treasurer. In the matter of contested seats the combine was willing to trive'the.

contestants a half vote each. This was satisfactory to Quay, as he had a majority anyway. This was done In the convention today and the contested seat committee was dispensed with. As for the state chairmanship, it was announced that it would be a fight to the The combine could do nothing but eecept. and it lay down and was licked.

This is just-what was done at that conference asked for by the combine, and the action does net resemble a compromise. This work was all finished up by 5 a. in. and when the hundreds of people awakened this morning prepared for what they supposed would be a Moody scrap, they were fooled, and when they found that the whole light was at an end and that Senator Quay wouM have a walkover there was rejoicing and sorrow mingled together. The caucus of the combiners was held just the same and they tried be brave.

It is said, however, that tiov. Hastings was mad. and made a bitter speech. William Conneli, the millionaire coal operator of Scrauton, refused to be slaughtered as a candidate for temporary chairman. Col.

It was decided to admit only delegates, VO prominent politicians, and the newspaper men Tiis made an audience of about 500, and tue best cf order prevailed.

Boston, Aug. 28. It was learned to-nlght that the committee on time and place have reported in favor of Pittsburgh for the next triennial concl.tva It is asserted that this Is practically equivalent to a vote, as tho report of the committee will, without doubt, be ratified In to-morrow's session.

2S. A representative of the Associated Press learned this afternoon, from ar authoritative source, that a canvass of the grand conclave of the Knights Templa. indicated the selection of Pittsburgh as the place for holding the next triennial conclave, in 108. The matter is now In the hands of a committee. Business and pleasure have combined today to take up the time of every Knight Templar, and to-night the conclave and its attendant ceremonies are in full blast.

Everywhere receptions are being held, and the Sir Knight who was venturesome enough to attend thtm all would find himself heavily liiden with souvenirs. Tha members cf the grand encampment are all busy to-night preparing for to-morrow's election of officers and private meetings for consultation are frequent. The weather was clear and warm and has been especially enjoyed by those who have participated In the many excursions. The streets are still thronged with people, and, considering the fact that Boston returned to business to-day, this shows the enormous number of visitors that have come to the conclave besides the Knights and their families. The crowds are so great as to Interfere seriously with traffic, and In the city proper one can make much better progress by joining the multitude and letting it propel him along the streets than by patronizing the trolley cars.

The business of the twenty-sixth triennial conclave of Knights Templar was begun in earnest to-day by the grand tn-camsraeTit. whila the round of pleasure wa3 resumed by the great body of the knights with lively enthusiasm. Sessions of the grand encampment were held both morning and atternoon at masonic tem-ole: the jtrand competitive drill of the crack commanderles oi the United States, Columbia of VSasningtun. D.

Many of the grand and subordinate commanderles keptopen house all day, while excursions almost without number to the various harbor resorts and historic points nearby attracted thousands. At 10 o'clock the steamer Cygnus started down the harbor with a merry party of 1,200 knights and ladies. The boat passed most of the seashore resorts and went out as far as the lightship. The Cygnus returned about 1 o'clock, and at 3 o'clock started out again on the same coutee with another party. Da Molay commandery of Boston chartered a boat and took several visiting commanderles out for a sail.

Parkman commandery of East Boston provided a similar entertainment for York commandery of Xew York City, their special guests tor ths day. Several commanderles held all-day receptions. De Capier.s commandery of Melrose had Hugh De Payens of Little Rock and the grand commander of Arkansas as guests, and the grand comnan-ery of West Virginia had hundreds of visitors at the Hotel Brunswick. The mooting of the grand encampment in Masonic temple was largely attended, over 2U0 members being present. After the roll call devotional services were conducted by grand prelate V.

Km. Sir Joseph M. McOrath, and then Grand Master Most Km. Sir Hugh McCury delivered his til-ennla! address, which was published yesterday in the Commercial Gazette. Acting Recorder V.

Em. Sir William B. Isaacs, of Richmond. submitted his report, as follows. There were 813 subordinate, commanderles in 1S83 under the grand commanuer; 22 subordinate commanderies tinder the irrand encampment; 16.KT7 knights in grand commanderles 904 knighted In subordinate commanderieg; total membership of commanderles, 87,874.

Wales Lines reported tha balance at last settlement, receipta, $17,845: expenditures, balance, Xet cash resources, a0.3'.

After the reading of the grand treasurer's report thn meeting adjourned until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The drill drew the largest crowd to the baseball grounds that "was ever within the inrlosure. A few minutes after 11 o'clock Columbia commandery of Washington, D. C. inarched on the field, headed by the German; band.

The knig ils marched and counter-marched, wheeled by company and by platoons, and then executed niauv maneuver which have no military significance, but are arranged with a view to effect and complication. The climax of Columbia's exhibition was the superb coming down the RsM hi perfect alignment; the men suddenly broke ranks and formed three siinuitaneiotn tableaux representing "Attack," and "Defeat." Aoollo commandery of Troy, N. thn took the field. The feature of this exhibition was the formation of words on the ground by arrangement of words. In their different maneuvers the word "Apollo," "Troy, N.

and "Boston" were shown. "The Little commandery" from the Masonic Widows and home of Lou-lsvlile, furnished a unique drill. Although small boys, they marched perfectly and performed a series of maneuvers in a circle around tho stands which were extremely difficult. 2io a single mistake was mads, and tha little fellows received a storm of applause. St.

Bernard commanSery of Chicago made a magnificent display. This commandery holds th banner, which was awarded at tiie last competitive drl'l, and their magnificent work and discipline today showed them to be able to defend it strongly whenever challenged. The MinsK.apolia Knights Tompiar drill corps followed the Chicago men and aroused ijreat enthusiasm, executing several orifcinal features.

An Impression has goi.a abroad that there is a free silver party in Pennsylvania, and that that party is Republican.

Harriaburgr, Aug. 28. The platform, to which th-i resolution reaffirming the currency plank of the national convention of 1S02 was added after some heated discussion, is as follows: "The Republican party of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, makes the following declaration of "We accept unreservedly the determination enunciated by the Republican national convention of lsl2; that weiemand the use of both and silver money with such restrictions and under such provisions, to bo determined by legislation, an will secure thej maintenance of tbe parity of values of tha two metals, eo that tha purchasing anl teht payiiiff power of tiie dollar, vrhethsr cS fcUver, cold or paper, at all times ho ajt aJly faithful ta too, 6 Uevingf it party Its i owejKiiiu i Iniaue days tl Jevts Gilfteson in the uijernatonai tarn- paien, and was convinced that the chairman spcoi the money honestly, -t-csator Quay was i Chairman Gtlkeson. when asked for his views of the convention's action to-day, replied: this Is not our time to talk. be- ready to aid Chairman Quay if he needs my assitance at any time." Charles Emory Smith of the Philadelphia Press was downcast over the defeat.

The only thing be hud to say was: "Quay is a Kreat politician." J. O. Brown, director of the department of public safety of Pittsburgh, was present when Senator Flinn gave the interview. He said the Pittsburgh leader was expressing his sentiments. HASTINGS IS BITTER.

Did Xot Want to Surrender Mafree Wua Hot nml Martin nil He Was liilked. Harrisburg, Aug. 28. (Special.) Gov. Hastings Is bitter over the surrender, lie was opposed to the last.

He boiled over at the caucus. Speaker Harry F. Walton of Philadelphia, who was on the committee to select the candidate for temporary chairman, said Henry Hall of Pittsburgh had been selected and announced that the minor offices of the convention would be agreed upon by the organisation. Gov. Hastings was excited at this and he made this speech: "Although the secretary Of tii ca-icrs committee nefidtc ted.

to announce it, I want to say that I a ndid.no for permanent chairman cf the state convention I am nifio for Col. GUkeson for chairman of the state committee, and I wiil stand or fail with him. I desire to say, moreover, that so long as I am governor of this commonwealth I will be the undisputed possessor of my rights and I call upon you all in the name of Justice and tru Republicanism to. stand by me in I fct 'ifr. Walton said he did not mean to do the governor an injustice.

He raid tha committee had not named Ha.stir.frs -for permanent chairman be-cause he bad no opposition. The governor cried out: "I want no concessions." The proposition to give the contestants each a half vote caused another kick. C. Ia Magee made the speech this time. He said: "I believe the rights of the delegates from Philadelphia to their seats aie as good as mine, and I have s.u uncontested seat.

I mean to vote to put them on the roll, and keep them there. Rut we are confronted by the possibility of two rolls, one honestly and fairly made up by Chairman, GUkeson. in accordance with precedents: the other made up by the other side dishonestly and illegally, it is now a question whether there shall be one or two Republican parties in Pennsylvania. If we are to escape party anaichy we must have a roll on which to light out the temporary organization. If we have two rolls we will have disruption from the Delaware to the lakes.

Let us stand in convention to out these delegates on tho roll. But we must have a starting point, and that was all the conference agreed upon. There is another thing I wish to speak upon: "The opposition has asserted that we have taken possession of the opera house in order to override and bulldoze the other side. Notice was given us thtvt desperadoes with pistols and black jacks were coming to seize the convention's place of meeting. These measures were taken to secure our rights." "We must not put ourselves In the position of rnakrng two Rcuublican parties," said Gov.

Hastings. "The state is not big enough for two. Hut let us got into the convention and stand shoulder to shoulder for our friends." The delegates then agreed that it was best to stand by the conference committee. Dave Martin of Philadelphia was sore about, the surrender. He claimed he had not been consulted and in his own language remarked: "I have been bilked." HERO AND IDOL.

Politicians Vow Worahin! njj at Quay's Shrine Apparent Harmony Said to He Only Temporary. In its account of the proceedings of the Republican state convention at Harrisburg the Associated Press, which occupies a perfectly neutral position in the contest, says: "To-night Senator Quay is the hero, as well as the idol of Pennsylvania politicians of all degrees of prominence. His rooms at the Lochie-1 hotel have been constantly besieged since the convention ended by men anxious to pay homage to his matchless leadership. Tho senator takes all of the praise and congratulations that are being showered upon him wltn his usual stoicism, and so far as outward appearances go his demeanor Is just the sanie as when the fight seemed to be going against him. "Although there was an outward indication of harmony and forgiveness, it Is said that this extends only to Gov.

Hastings and his friends. Those on the platform observed that Senar Quay did not look at or speak to C. Magee, David Martin and Senator Pcrter, the jnen who have led tho fight 8 gainst him, and it Is pro-dieted to-nlght that the wounds now temporarily healed will bo opened in a very short while."

Th newspapers hers announce that the cottoa urm or r. agreed to. According to their story Ivlagee and Martin bad agreed to concede Senator Quay the chairmanship, and in return Senator Quay had promised to abandon his warfare upon the corrupt rings that dominated Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. This song of the dying swan spread rapidly, and in the due course of events It had reached Senator Quay and had aroused his deep indignation, as shown by the opening paragraph of this dispatch. Continuing the senator said: "There Is not one word of truth In this latest story of the combine.

And there was no compromise. I had them whipped and therefore there was no reason why I should even listen to a suggestion of a compromise. It was a case of unconditional surrender on the part of the combine. In order to avert trouble and a possible riot and bloodshed, an agreement was arrived at early this morning regarding the use of the opera house and the order of proceedings, and that agreement was carried out to the letter In the convention. In fact.

I will say further that the proceedings of the convention reflected all the points of tiie "How will you proceed, to have your views on leform in municipal and state governments btcomo laws?" "That will a matter tor the legislature. I propose to carry out my utter- 1 on this and the plank In the the fullest extent, and I be platfO" lieve Lb people wiil sustain my efforts by electing a legislature that will enact this plank of the platform into a state law." "Then the reform plank will be one of the issues "of the campaign next year, when a legislature is to be elected?" suggested the writer. "It will be the issue of the campaign," replied the senator. "Every one of xny friends in the last legislature stood by me in this coutest against the combine who will be candidates for re-election will make their canvasses on this issue. They will run as candidates favorable to this reform, and their candidacy will have no connection whatever with the selection of a United States senator by the legislature.

I wish to emphasize that last point strongly." "In what way will these reforms be inaugurated. "That is for the legislature to decide. When the legislature convenes bills will be introduced designed to carry out the reforms, and the legislature will pass them." Lieut. Gov. Lyon was next seen and asked about the combine's latest fake.

With a hearty laugh he said: "Well, what claim will the combine not make?" After a pause he continued: "As I was a member of the joint committee last night that settled the quarrel over the possession of the opera house I was in a position to know all that took place. And I say to you frankly that there was no compromise. The opposition realized that they were defeated and they surrendered, so far as possession of the opera house was concerned." Mr. Lyon then took from his pocket the original copy of the agreement that was signed by the members of the joint committee and permitted the writer, under a pledge not to publish it, to peruse the 'entire terms of the agreement. It was signed by the members of the committee land fully corroborated all that Mr.

Lyon jand Senator Quay claimed. Mr. Lyon was then asked whether he believed that Quay would pursue his contest f-or municipal reform. He replied: "I do most emphatically. I am satisfied tthat ha is In earnest this matter and eixpect to se him carry on the contest ujutil the reforms are accomplished.

It wijill be one of the issues of the next campaign, and the people, in my opinion, will sustain Senator Quay by electing a legislature pledged to these reforms." fctate Senator Arthur Kennedy was hig'hly indignant when ho heard of the core-ibine's story of the alleged eompro-nysfe. When he was asked by the writer -vihether he believed that Senator Quay carry on his warfare for reform anl against the combine. Senator Kennedy replied: ,1 .1. uv, muoL h-dui cuij, 1 1 1 iudj 13 in tarnest In this matter, and his victory to-liay shows conclusively that he has tne pax i ueiuuu mm. ins i tne encourage! nent that he needs, and the combine laadiers will be pursued relentlessly.

Tiiiiigs are decidedly different now, and thevi will be more so before Senator Quay his task. The plank on reform thai was inserted In the platform was wri' Kn by Senator Quay himself, and ex-prei his views fully. The needed re-fom will be Incorporated upon our books as soon as a legislature can be tosen and act, f-re were some Indications to-dav that combine leaders proposed to fight the 1 Vertion of the reform plank In the platfc I'm.
