Fox Capitol completion bill rush eyed in Harrisburg
Special to The Philadelphia Times reports in Harrisburg on June 18 that the Capitol completion measure and repeal bills for Fayette City and Monongahela City are to be rushed amid confu sion and open display of political maneuvering.

Senate and House conference committees are named to resolve apportionment disputes with partisanship cited as the driving force behind the process. The article notes a shift in conference representation and accuses Quay allies of steering the process.
