W. GBEENWOOD, •Superintendent. , Tfffl ISSUES MET. Submission of Prohibition Amendment and Snnday Closing of the World's Fair. United States Senator Qnay Widely Commended Tor Bis Manly Stand On Two Questions Tbat Aroused Popular Feeling. An inquiry bearing upon two interesting incidents ln the career ot Colonel M. S. Quay has been made by a reader of the Philadelphia Inquirer, wrote the editor of that paper one day last-week. The following letter waa received at that offlce yesterdayi Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 18, 1898. To the Editor of The Inquirer: Dear Sin In a controversy with a ministerial friend two questions have arisen relative to Senator Quay, concerning whioh I will be pleased to have you enlighten us. I. Was or was not Senator Quay responsible for the action of the legislature ln submitting to a vote of the people of Pennsylvania the question of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors? II. Was or was not Senator Quay responsible for the action of congress in prohibiting the opening of the Chicago World's Pair on Sunday? Yours very truly, ALBERT R. MASON. The Inquirer is able to answer these two questions very explicitly, and in the affirmative. Senator Quay was the author of both propositions. At the Republican state convention ln 1880 Senator Quay presented a plank in favor of the passage, by the state legislature, of a resolution submitting to the vote of the people a prohibitory amendment. This plank, whioh waa adopted as a part of the state platform, was as follows: "Whereas, Ther* ts an evident desire on the part of a large number of intelligent and respectable citizens of Pennsylvania to amend the constitution by inserting a clause prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks as a beverage within the limits of thia commonwealth; therefore, "Resolved, That it is the opinion and Judgment of this convention that the legislature of the state should at once adopt measures providing for the submission of this question to a vote of the people, ln acordance with the true spirit of our free- institutions." The legislature of 1887 passed the submission resolution and the legislature of 1889 did likewise, the constitution providing that two successive legislatures shall take such action before a vote of the people oan be had. In accordance therewith a special election was held June 18, 1889, throughout Pennsylvania, the amendment in question being voted upon by the people themselves. BROUGHT BEFORE THB PEOPLB. To bring about this result was no slight task. There was very considerable opposition, both in the state convention of 1886 and ln the legislatures of 1887 and 1889, and Senator Quay carried through his program only after the hardest kind of a fight. While not taking sides either for or against prohibition he took the ground that there was a considerable element Of the people in favor of constitutional prohibition, and they should be given a chance to vote upon the- matter—or upon any kindred question—as provided by the constitution. Regarding the question of closing the World's fair on Sunday the record is equally clear. On the 9th of July, 1892, the United States senate had under consideration a bill appropriating 85,- 000,000 "for the purpose of siding and defraying the cost of completing the work of preparation for inaugurating the World's Columbian exposition" at Chicago. For months there had been a tremendous sentiment throughout the country against the Chicago exposition being kept open on Sunday. Resolutions of protest were adopted by churches, Sabbath schools, ministerial unions, synods, conferences, Young Men's Christian associations, etc. Not only were the clergymen of the nation aroused, but the religious element of the people generally, ln all the states, manifested its opposition in aggressive shape. Thousands of adverse petitions were sent to the various senators and representatives ln congress. These petitions contained several million signatures; a larger number, according to one of the senators, "than were ever signed to any appeal to Congress." QUAY HAS THE BIBLE READ. It remained for Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, to take the first Step towards recognising the sentiment dt the nation, and giving it expression in concrete form. On the day above named he arose ln the senate and started the ball rolling. The following is taken from page 6941 of the Congressional Record: Mr. Quay—"On page 118, line 18, after the word 'act,' I move to insert: " 'And that provision has been made by the proper authority for the closing of the exposition on the Sabbath day.' "The reason for the amendment X win send to the desk to be read. The secretary will have the kindness' to read from the Book of Law I send to the desk the part inclosed In brackets," The vice president—"The part indicated win be read." The secretary read as follows: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep It holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy Ood; ln It thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor tbe stranger that ls within thy gates. For ln six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that In them ls, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed tbe Sabbath day, and hallowed It." As waa stated by one ot the senators, this was the first time in the history of the senate the Bible had been officially recognised by that body by an extract therefrom being read and entered upon the record. The purpose of Senator Quay's amendment was to prevent the $5,000,- 000 appropriated to the World's fair commissioners from being paid over to them untU they should agree that the fair should be closed on Sunday. A long debate followed, lasting five days. There was vigorous opposition upon the part of many senators, owing chiefly to the faot that the managers of the World's fair objected to such Interference with their prerogatives in the premises. One of them, Senator Morgan, of Alabama, the leader of the Democratic side, took occasion in his speech to say, referring to Senator Quay: "The most astute politician ln this chamber, or perhaps in the United States, originated that* amendment." Senator Quay's amendment was put to a vote July 13 and passed the senate. Senator Quay was the recipient of many telegrams and letters of congratulation for his courage tn raising the question of Sunday closing, which every other senator seemed disinclined to do, and he was commended for his firmness in forcing the question to an issue in spite of numerous efforts to sidetrack it. Resolutions of congratulation were passed by religious bodies all over the country. THANKED BY MILLIONS. . The following telegram to Senator Quay from J. B. Helkig, president of the Ohio Sabbath association, voiced the spirit of the country upon the Important subject: "Eleven million petitioners thank you for your amendment oa Sunday closing." Sermons were preached upon the subject, clergymen publicly thanking Senator Quay for his valuable services in behalf of theChristian Sabbath. Among others was Rev. J. H. Lelper, D. D., of Philadelphia, who, ln a sermon delivered in Pittsburg, said: "Pennsylvania has stood In the forefront of the battle for the Sabbath. Her loyal citizens, her supreme court and her governor have stood like a wall of fire against all assaults of Its enemies. Not the least among Its defenses was the official attitude of Senator Quay, who moved, as a condition of granting a loan to the Columbian .commission, that the gates should be closed on the Sabbath, and supported his motion by having the clerk of the senate read Exodus xx, 8, declaring, 'That, gentlemen of the senate, is the law.' Honor to whom honor is due." In these days of vilification and abuse, heaped upon him by his jealous enemies, it is a pleasure to point to these two conspicuous Instances where Senator Quay's services have been upon the side of justice and morality. It Is Interesting to note in this connection that Senator Quay is a minister's son, his father, Rev. A. B. Quay, having been an eminent clergyman of the Presbyterian church. It is but fair to assume that in pursuing the course he did in these two matters the senator was actuated by a reverence for his father's memory and respect for his btRh calling. A NATIONAL STANDPOINT. Chairman of tbe Republican Congressional Committee Speaus of Colonel Quay. "The sensational, arrest of Senator j Quay and his son, which has caused so much comment throughout Pennsylvania, has attracted not a little attention ln the national capital," writes Smith D. Pry, the weU known Washington correspondent. "The only Democratic newspaper published here merely says: j Tt is assumed, apparently with good I reason, tbat tt is not a Democratic scheme, but it Is part of the campaign Which has been carried on by a group of Pennsylvania Republicans for several years. Ordinarily it would be as-, sumed that this waa sufficient founda- ; tion for such a suit, but fair minded | persons, even though strongly opposed to Quay and Quayism, are apt to regard this as a political trick.' "Republicans bere bitterly denounce the action which has been taken. Their views are crystallised ta an authorised interview with Chairman Babcock, of tbe Republican congressional committee, who says: This attack Upon Senator Quay should cause all good stalwart Republicans to rally to his support, if the attack had been made when the alleged crime is said to have been committed, or if the oharge had been mads after the campaign had bsen concluded, er if lt had come out at any other time Whatever, I should not doubt Senator Quay's honesty, but I should not look at it politically. " 'But, coming at this time, it is palpably a piece of Democratic and anti- Republican trickery, and is palpably done for a political purpose, that in my Judgment every Republican in Pennsylvania should see through lt. I do not believe the Republicans of Pennsylvania can be stampeded by suoh political methods. Senator Quay and his eon borrowed money firom the bank and paid it back. That is plainly apparent in the newspaper accounts. I know Senator Quay well, and have had financial as well as political dealings with htm, and have never known him to be guilty of a dishonest transaction. I believe that the honorable Democrats in Pennsylvania, and there are thousands of them, will resent this action by their votes at the polls. I am confident that the Republicans of that magnificent commonwealth will stand by their ticket.'" TWO IMPORTANT CONTESTS. Political Issues Alike ln tbe Empire and Keystone States. The same issues are Involved In the great political contests In Pennsylvania and New York, Where the important matter at stake ln each case ls the election of a United States senator. The tact is that the combined anti-Republican and anti-McKinley forces are making desperate efforts to get control of the United States senate. The free silver Democrats are particularly active in tbis direction. Every effort is being made to break down Republicanism In the Interests of the opposition to the great policies of the Republican administration. Here in Pennsylvania Democrats, Prohibition orators and men once Republicans have united in a campaign of vituperation, scandal and preposterous exaggeration. They have charged against the Republican party almost every crime ta the category, and from every stump they are continually bearing false witness. All the foes of Republicanism are uniting in fusion movements to send Guffey, the Democratic leader, or some other foe of Republicanism to the United States senate, thus destroying Republican control of that body. They are trying to defeat Stone for the governorship and to cbt Pennsylvania loose from its support of McKinley. In the face of the great issues that confront us it is farcical to declare that this campaign ls not of national importance and that tbe conduct of a dead and burled legislature or some local issue of the past must alone be debated. The Republican party has placed honorable, honest, and manly candidates in the field. These men bave not been attacked, and no one dares attaok them. Then why, merely to please a Jenks, or a Swallow, or a league engaged ln Venting Its persona) spite, should the Republican voters be turned away from their ticket? No Republican should allow himself to be induced to give a complimentary vote to any candidate-for the legislature. The Republican candidates should be loyally supported. As yet there ls no evidence that Implicates Senator Quay ta wrongdoing and the chances are that his enemies have overplayed their game, in which case a reaction is Ukely to set in that will make Senator Quay stronger than ever.—Reading Times. With all the documents in tbeir possession for months why ls it that it was delayed until this time when the state campaign is nearing an end and not enough time remains to have the case fuly exploited ln a court of law? To the mind of the reasonable, thinking man it has much the appearance of a campaign dodge, and it ls altogether likely to have an effect exactly opposite to that which was intended. Not only wtll it bave ths effect of solidifying the friends of Senator Quay, but it is calculated to disgust even those who are not friendly to Mr. Quay, but do not believe ln a system of persecution intended to defeat a j political opponent.—Hollidaysburg Register. So grave a prosecution should be entirely free from the sinister suspicion that it was begun for campaln purposes. Legal proceedings instituted merely for the purpose of helping a man, a faction or a party to a political victory, are in reality a great detriment to the cause of justice, whioh Is too sacred to be tampered with In the muddy pool of politics. The tact that this case was begun ta tho heat of a campaign rendered it all tho more imperative that its instigators should come to the front at the beginning as an evidenoe of their good faith. Falling to do this, they stand ta the same Ught as the anonymous letter writer who expects the public tb accept his unauthenticatnd fulminatlons at their face value.—Scranton Truth. IS AT STAKEL Pennsylvania Editors in the United States Senatorial Campaign. THEY ARE FIGHTING FUSION Republicans Urgred to Stand by Regular Candidates For the Legislature and For Congress, and Are Told Why They Should Do So. "A patriotic president at Washington is battling for Increased prosperity for the country, and he calls upon Pennsylvania and New York and the other, states to support him," says the editor ot the PhUadelphia Inquirer. "Shall he not have this support from Pennsylvania? He cannot have it if we are to turn the state over to his foes or to men who are willing to risk the glory and honor of the country to gratify their own personal spite. "We have arrived at a most important point ln the history of this country. We are face to face with the greatest problems the nation has had to deal with for mora than a quarter of a century. Cuba and Porto Rico anl' the Philippines must occupy our attention. Wise leadership is absolutely essential, for the affairs of these Islands must be settled, and there loom u;i ahead new markets for our manufactured goods and the building of ships of commerce which will carry immense cargoes under the flag of the Union all over the world. Can these questions ' be settled with a Democratic party nagging and trying to nullify the good work of the president? "No, Pennsylvania wUl stand by McKinley and will elect a Republican legislature which will send a Republican to the United States senate, and sbe will elect almost a solid Republican delegation to the lower house of congress." FIVE MORE FUSION FIOHTERS. "Patriotic reasons demand," adds the Lancaster Examiner, "that the results, of the ooming state and congressional elections should be in the nature of a full and hearty indorsement of the president, perfectly free from anything that could be construed as opposition or dissatisfaction with his war policy and the subsequent peace negotiations. Therefore, the case against Senator Quay, whether instigated by Democrats. RepubUcans or by persons actuated only by a sense of duty, might have been postponed until after the election. This course would have fully subserved the ends of justice, and at the same time would have been free from any harmful tendencies against the oountry." "All the foes of Republicanism," remarks the Chambersburg Repository. "are uniting in fusion movements, to send Guffey, the Democratic loader, or some Other foe of Republicanism to the United States senate, thus destroying Republican control in that body. They are trying to defeat Stone for the governorship and to cut Pennsylvania loose from Its support of McKinley. In ths face of the great issues that confront us it is farcial to' declare that this campaign is not of national importance." "Apathy or Indifference should not be allowed to interfere with getting out the full party vote in order to strengthen the hands of the national administration and insure that the fruits of the late war shall be gathered," writes the editor of the Norristown Herald. "A Democratic majority ln .the new congress would be regarded, at home and abroad, as a vote of censure on President McKinley, to whose wise and prompt action was due largely the speedy settlement of the quarrel with Spain." "The Republicans of Pennsylvania know that this'is a Republican year," declares the Alientown Chronicle, "and tbey are going to hold up the hands of the president by electing the Republican candidates for congress. It would be a great note if the next congress should contain a majority of men opposed to the president's wise and patriotic policy. And that ls just what will happen If the Republicans do not get a majority." "The election of a Democratic legislature this fall .means the election of a Democrat to the United State senate ln January," says the Titusville Herald. "It makes no difference how excellent a Democrat may be, his voice Will be raised and his Influence and vote will be cast In favor of free silver, " free trade and the rejection of the great fruits of tbe war with Spain. The vote ln the senate ls very close, and th<- loss of a senator from Pennsylvania might very seriously embarrass the administration ln the execution of tho wise, sound policies which it has in view." And these are the opinions of but a few of the leading editors of Pennsylvania who are battling bravely against the Democratic scheme of fusion on the legislative nominations. ,-'■4... ;- ;.-,.■;;■ .rW:".:.-:./"'■ "'■■:-■•:'-'.^-i^i^■< ^i,ftfli-BiM^ii^tf;ifia^rirffiiTtitiiWiTilliftr iiiiitiA m$L

W. GBEENWOOD, •Superintendent. , Tfffl ISSUES MET. Submission of Prohibition Amendment and Snnday Closing of the World's Fair. United States Senator Qnay Widely Commended Tor Bis Manly Stand On Two Questions Tbat Aroused Popular Feeling. An inquiry bearing upon two interesting incidents ln the career ot Colonel M. S. Quay has been made by a reader of the Philadelphia Inquirer, wrote the editor of that paper one day last-week. The following letter waa received at that offlce yesterdayi Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 18, 1898. To the Editor of The Inquirer: Dear Sin In a controversy with a ministerial friend two questions have arisen relative to Senator Quay, concerning whioh I will be pleased to have you enlighten us. I. Was or was not Senator Quay responsible for the action of the legislature ln submitting to a vote of the people of Pennsylvania the question of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of liquors? II. Was or was not Senator Quay responsible for the action of congress in prohibiting the opening of the Chicago World's Pair on Sunday? Yours very truly, ALBERT R. MASON. The Inquirer is able to answer these two questions very explicitly, and in the affirmative. Senator Quay was the author of both propositions. At the Republican state convention ln 1880 Senator Quay presented a plank in favor of the passage, by the state legislature, of a resolution submitting to the vote of the people a prohibitory amendment. This plank, whioh waa adopted as a part of the state platform, was as follows: "Whereas, Ther* ts an evident desire on the part of a large number of intelligent and respectable citizens of Pennsylvania to amend the constitution by inserting a clause prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks as a beverage within the limits of thia commonwealth; therefore, "Resolved, That it is the opinion and Judgment of this convention that the legislature of the state should at once adopt measures providing for the submission of this question to a vote of the people, ln acordance with the true spirit of our free- institutions." The legislature of 1887 passed the submission resolution and the legislature of 1889 did likewise, the constitution providing that two successive legislatures shall take such action before a vote of the people oan be had. In accordance therewith a special election was held June 18, 1889, throughout Pennsylvania, the amendment in question being voted upon by the people themselves. BROUGHT BEFORE THB PEOPLB. To bring about this result was no slight task. There was very considerable opposition, both in the state convention of 1886 and ln the legislatures of 1887 and 1889, and Senator Quay carried through his program only after the hardest kind of a fight. While not taking sides either for or against prohibition he took the ground that there was a considerable element Of the people in favor of constitutional prohibition, and they should be given a chance to vote upon the- matter—or upon any kindred question—as provided by the constitution. Regarding the question of closing the World's fair on Sunday the record is equally clear. On the 9th of July, 1892, the United States senate had under consideration a bill appropriating 85,- 000,000 "for the purpose of siding and defraying the cost of completing the work of preparation for inaugurating the World's Columbian exposition" at Chicago. For months there had been a tremendous sentiment throughout the country against the Chicago exposition being kept open on Sunday. Resolutions of protest were adopted by churches, Sabbath schools, ministerial unions, synods, conferences, Young Men's Christian associations, etc. Not only were the clergymen of the nation aroused, but the religious element of the people generally, ln all the states, manifested its opposition in aggressive shape. Thousands of adverse petitions were sent to the various senators and representatives ln congress. These petitions contained several million signatures; a larger number, according to one of the senators, "than were ever signed to any appeal to Congress." QUAY HAS THE BIBLE READ. It remained for Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, to take the first Step towards recognising the sentiment dt the nation, and giving it expression in concrete form. On the day above named he arose ln the senate and started the ball rolling. The following is taken from page 6941 of the Congressional Record: Mr. Quay—"On page 118, line 18, after the word 'act,' I move to insert: " 'And that provision has been made by the proper authority for the closing of the exposition on the Sabbath day.' "The reason for the amendment X win send to the desk to be read. The secretary will have the kindness' to read from the Book of Law I send to the desk the part inclosed In brackets," The vice president—"The part indicated win be read." The secretary read as follows: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep It holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy Ood; ln It thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor tbe stranger that ls within thy gates. For ln six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that In them ls, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed tbe Sabbath day, and hallowed It." As waa stated by one ot the senators, this was the first time in the history of the senate the Bible had been officially recognised by that body by an extract therefrom being read and entered upon the record. The purpose of Senator Quay's amendment was to prevent the $5,000,- 000 appropriated to the World's fair commissioners from being paid over to them untU they should agree that the fair should be closed on Sunday. A long debate followed, lasting five days. There was vigorous opposition upon the part of many senators, owing chiefly to the faot that the managers of the World's fair objected to such Interference with their prerogatives in the premises. One of them, Senator Morgan, of Alabama, the leader of the Democratic side, took occasion in his speech to say, referring to Senator Quay: "The most astute politician ln this chamber, or perhaps in the United States, originated that* amendment." Senator Quay's amendment was put to a vote July 13 and passed the senate. Senator Quay was the recipient of many telegrams and letters of congratulation for his courage tn raising the question of Sunday closing, which every other senator seemed disinclined to do, and he was commended for his firmness in forcing the question to an issue in spite of numerous efforts to sidetrack it. Resolutions of congratulation were passed by religious bodies all over the country. THANKED BY MILLIONS. . The following telegram to Senator Quay from J. B. Helkig, president of the Ohio Sabbath association, voiced the spirit of the country upon the Important subject: "Eleven million petitioners thank you for your amendment oa Sunday closing." Sermons were preached upon the subject, clergymen publicly thanking Senator Quay for his valuable services in behalf of theChristian Sabbath. Among others was Rev. J. H. Lelper, D. D., of Philadelphia, who, ln a sermon delivered in Pittsburg, said: "Pennsylvania has stood In the forefront of the battle for the Sabbath. Her loyal citizens, her supreme court and her governor have stood like a wall of fire against all assaults of Its enemies. Not the least among Its defenses was the official attitude of Senator Quay, who moved, as a condition of granting a loan to the Columbian .commission, that the gates should be closed on the Sabbath, and supported his motion by having the clerk of the senate read Exodus xx, 8, declaring, 'That, gentlemen of the senate, is the law.' Honor to whom honor is due." In these days of vilification and abuse, heaped upon him by his jealous enemies, it is a pleasure to point to these two conspicuous Instances where Senator Quay's services have been upon the side of justice and morality. It Is Interesting to note in this connection that Senator Quay is a minister's son, his father, Rev. A. B. Quay, having been an eminent clergyman of the Presbyterian church. It is but fair to assume that in pursuing the course he did in these two matters the senator was actuated by a reverence for his father's memory and respect for his btRh calling. A NATIONAL STANDPOINT. Chairman of tbe Republican Congressional Committee Speaus of Colonel Quay. "The sensational, arrest of Senator j Quay and his son, which has caused so much comment throughout Pennsylvania, has attracted not a little attention ln the national capital," writes Smith D. Pry, the weU known Washington correspondent. "The only Democratic newspaper published here merely says: j Tt is assumed, apparently with good I reason, tbat tt is not a Democratic scheme, but it Is part of the campaign Which has been carried on by a group of Pennsylvania Republicans for several years. Ordinarily it would be as-, sumed that this waa sufficient founda- ; tion for such a suit, but fair minded | persons, even though strongly opposed to Quay and Quayism, are apt to regard this as a political trick.' "Republicans bere bitterly denounce the action which has been taken. Their views are crystallised ta an authorised interview with Chairman Babcock, of tbe Republican congressional committee, who says: This attack Upon Senator Quay should cause all good stalwart Republicans to rally to his support, if the attack had been made when the alleged crime is said to have been committed, or if the oharge had been mads after the campaign had bsen concluded, er if lt had come out at any other time Whatever, I should not doubt Senator Quay's honesty, but I should not look at it politically. " 'But, coming at this time, it is palpably a piece of Democratic and anti- Republican trickery, and is palpably done for a political purpose, that in my Judgment every Republican in Pennsylvania should see through lt. I do not believe the Republicans of Pennsylvania can be stampeded by suoh political methods. Senator Quay and his eon borrowed money firom the bank and paid it back. That is plainly apparent in the newspaper accounts. I know Senator Quay well, and have had financial as well as political dealings with htm, and have never known him to be guilty of a dishonest transaction. I believe that the honorable Democrats in Pennsylvania, and there are thousands of them, will resent this action by their votes at the polls. I am confident that the Republicans of that magnificent commonwealth will stand by their ticket.'" TWO IMPORTANT CONTESTS. Political Issues Alike ln tbe Empire and Keystone States. The same issues are Involved In the great political contests In Pennsylvania and New York, Where the important matter at stake ln each case ls the election of a United States senator. The tact is that the combined anti-Republican and anti-McKinley forces are making desperate efforts to get control of the United States senate. The free silver Democrats are particularly active in tbis direction. Every effort is being made to break down Republicanism In the Interests of the opposition to the great policies of the Republican administration. Here in Pennsylvania Democrats, Prohibition orators and men once Republicans have united in a campaign of vituperation, scandal and preposterous exaggeration. They have charged against the Republican party almost every crime ta the category, and from every stump they are continually bearing false witness. All the foes of Republicanism are uniting in fusion movements to send Guffey, the Democratic leader, or some other foe of Republicanism to the United States senate, thus destroying Republican control of that body. They are trying to defeat Stone for the governorship and to cbt Pennsylvania loose from its support of McKinley. In the face of the great issues that confront us it is farcical to declare that this campaign ls not of national importance and that tbe conduct of a dead and burled legislature or some local issue of the past must alone be debated. The Republican party has placed honorable, honest, and manly candidates in the field. These men bave not been attacked, and no one dares attaok them. Then why, merely to please a Jenks, or a Swallow, or a league engaged ln Venting Its persona) spite, should the Republican voters be turned away from their ticket? No Republican should allow himself to be induced to give a complimentary vote to any candidate-for the legislature. The Republican candidates should be loyally supported. As yet there ls no evidence that Implicates Senator Quay ta wrongdoing and the chances are that his enemies have overplayed their game, in which case a reaction is Ukely to set in that will make Senator Quay stronger than ever.—Reading Times. With all the documents in tbeir possession for months why ls it that it was delayed until this time when the state campaign is nearing an end and not enough time remains to have the case fuly exploited ln a court of law? To the mind of the reasonable, thinking man it has much the appearance of a campaign dodge, and it ls altogether likely to have an effect exactly opposite to that which was intended. Not only wtll it bave ths effect of solidifying the friends of Senator Quay, but it is calculated to disgust even those who are not friendly to Mr. Quay, but do not believe ln a system of persecution intended to defeat a j political opponent.—Hollidaysburg Register. So grave a prosecution should be entirely free from the sinister suspicion that it was begun for campaln purposes. Legal proceedings instituted merely for the purpose of helping a man, a faction or a party to a political victory, are in reality a great detriment to the cause of justice, whioh Is too sacred to be tampered with In the muddy pool of politics. The tact that this case was begun ta tho heat of a campaign rendered it all tho more imperative that its instigators should come to the front at the beginning as an evidenoe of their good faith. Falling to do this, they stand ta the same Ught as the anonymous letter writer who expects the public tb accept his unauthenticatnd fulminatlons at their face value.—Scranton Truth. IS AT STAKEL Pennsylvania Editors in the United States Senatorial Campaign. THEY ARE FIGHTING FUSION Republicans Urgred to Stand by Regular Candidates For the Legislature and For Congress, and Are Told Why They Should Do So. "A patriotic president at Washington is battling for Increased prosperity for the country, and he calls upon Pennsylvania and New York and the other, states to support him," says the editor ot the PhUadelphia Inquirer. "Shall he not have this support from Pennsylvania? He cannot have it if we are to turn the state over to his foes or to men who are willing to risk the glory and honor of the country to gratify their own personal spite. "We have arrived at a most important point ln the history of this country. We are face to face with the greatest problems the nation has had to deal with for mora than a quarter of a century. Cuba and Porto Rico anl' the Philippines must occupy our attention. Wise leadership is absolutely essential, for the affairs of these Islands must be settled, and there loom u;i ahead new markets for our manufactured goods and the building of ships of commerce which will carry immense cargoes under the flag of the Union all over the world. Can these questions ' be settled with a Democratic party nagging and trying to nullify the good work of the president? "No, Pennsylvania wUl stand by McKinley and will elect a Republican legislature which will send a Republican to the United States senate, and sbe will elect almost a solid Republican delegation to the lower house of congress." FIVE MORE FUSION FIOHTERS. "Patriotic reasons demand," adds the Lancaster Examiner, "that the results, of the ooming state and congressional elections should be in the nature of a full and hearty indorsement of the president, perfectly free from anything that could be construed as opposition or dissatisfaction with his war policy and the subsequent peace negotiations. Therefore, the case against Senator Quay, whether instigated by Democrats. RepubUcans or by persons actuated only by a sense of duty, might have been postponed until after the election. This course would have fully subserved the ends of justice, and at the same time would have been free from any harmful tendencies against the oountry." "All the foes of Republicanism," remarks the Chambersburg Repository. "are uniting in fusion movements, to send Guffey, the Democratic loader, or some Other foe of Republicanism to the United States senate, thus destroying Republican control in that body. They are trying to defeat Stone for the governorship and to cut Pennsylvania loose from Its support of McKinley. In ths face of the great issues that confront us it is farcial to' declare that this campaign is not of national importance." "Apathy or Indifference should not be allowed to interfere with getting out the full party vote in order to strengthen the hands of the national administration and insure that the fruits of the late war shall be gathered," writes the editor of the Norristown Herald. "A Democratic majority ln .the new congress would be regarded, at home and abroad, as a vote of censure on President McKinley, to whose wise and prompt action was due largely the speedy settlement of the quarrel with Spain." "The Republicans of Pennsylvania know that this'is a Republican year," declares the Alientown Chronicle, "and tbey are going to hold up the hands of the president by electing the Republican candidates for congress. It would be a great note if the next congress should contain a majority of men opposed to the president's wise and patriotic policy. And that ls just what will happen If the Republicans do not get a majority." "The election of a Democratic legislature this fall .means the election of a Democrat to the United State senate ln January," says the Titusville Herald. "It makes no difference how excellent a Democrat may be, his voice Will be raised and his Influence and vote will be cast In favor of free silver, " free trade and the rejection of the great fruits of tbe war with Spain. The vote ln the senate ls very close, and th<- loss of a senator from Pennsylvania might very seriously embarrass the administration ln the execution of tho wise, sound policies which it has in view." And these are the opinions of but a few of the leading editors of Pennsylvania who are battling bravely against the Democratic scheme of fusion on the legislative nominations. ,-'■4... ;- ;.-,.■;;■ .rW:".:.-:./"'■ "'■■:-■•:'-'.^-i^i^■< ^i,ftfli-BiM^ii^tf;ifia^rirffiiTtitiiWiTilliftr iiiiitiA m$L |
