Flinn Rules Out Allegheny Patronage Deal With Quay
William Flinn says seven interviews with Senator Quay failed to produce a trade over Allegheny county patronage or any postmaster deal. He remains a candidate for the state Senate and plans to back Major Montooth for governor, stating no deal exists and that Dalzell controls the postmastership. He adds no immediate State political aim beyond supporting Montooth and dismisses prospects of a broad patronage exchange.
