Democrats and Anti-Quay Republicans Plan Fusion
In Harrisburg on December 31 Democrats and anti-Quay Republicans held separate 11 o clock caucuses to discuss fusion and party organization. The anti-Quay side favored William H. Kouitz for governor and William T. Marshall as Republican stalwart choice for the legislature, while Quay supporters predicted a unified ticket with Colonel Quay elected to the Senate and a strong bloc to back him on the first ballot. A Democratic caucus for senator was not yet scheduled, but Guffey was seen as the Democratic pick if fusion falters. Senator Washburn signaled no change to his stance after a Democratic inquiry.
