Quay's State Treasurer Mantle Likely to Fall Upon A Lancastrian.
Special Dispatch to INTELLIGENCER.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 12.—It is gently whispered in those inner circles of Republicanism here that have Cameron for their centre that a Lancaster man will profit by Quay's now almost certain elevation to the United States Senate. The scheme, as far as your correspondent could learn, is for Quay to resign the state treasurership at the January meeting of the legislature when Governor-elect Beaver will appoint his successor.
That successor is going to be James A. McDevitt, of your city, the candidate for state treasurer against Quay one year ago.
This explains the enthusiasm of Mr. Magee for Quay in the present senatorial fight. It means a reconciliation all around, and the warm feelings that were aroused over the canvass of 1885 will be buried under the appointment of McDevitt, who will have an unexpired term of more than a year with good chances to be his own successor.
The New Era's suggestion of a place for Brosius in the new cabinet, as a recognition of Lancaster county, it is believed will fall on empty ears. The earth now belongs to the saints, and the Stanwixs are the saints.
