Keystone Republicans Stand By Mat Quay In Harrisburg
In Harrisburg on April 26 the Republican state convention endorsed McKinley and urged delegates to Philadelphia to support renomination. It backed electing U.S. senators by statewide vote, reendorsed Governor Stone and state officials, and pledged support for Senator Matthew Stanley Quay's reelection to the U.S. Senate. The platform defended Quay’s appointment by Gov. Stone, urged his candidacy, and named Hardenbergh, Grow, and Poerderer for state offices and congressmen at large. Some anti-Quay Republicans objected to the plank but the platform was adopted. Unanimous delegates to the national convention were Quay, Steel, Porter, and Everett.
