ago, but suddenly went into re.
tirement from no fault of his
own. He is none other than the
celebrated apostle of "addition,
division and silence" William
II. Kemble, whose boss-ship of
the Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania wound up with a sharp turn
eight years ago. Newspaper
readers will have little difficulty
in recalling this interesting bit Of
history-how Kemble and others
were convicted of bribing legis-
lators in connection with the bills
reimbursing railroad companies
whose property was destroyed IN
the Pittsburg riots of III. 1t
was Kemble who discovered Quay
and caused him 10 be appointed
Collector of State when TINS mis-
fortune befell him. It was Quay,
true to his instincts, who by vir-
tue of his position in the Board
of Pardons, stood between KEN
BILE and the penitentiary, when
every other resource failed him.
Kelnble, though au enormously
rich man and still president Of
one Of the leading banks Of Phila
delphia, is to this day debarred by
his conviction, from exercising
any of the functions of citizen
ship. 1t IS doubtful if he will
succeed in his ambiulon to have
his disabilities removed IN time to
vote for HARRISON and Morton,
but word comes from the Quaker
City, that he is the power behind
Quay's throne at Republican
Headquarters, aud is easily the
master spirit Of the campaign.
The amount of his personal con-
tribution to the cause Of "pure
politics is SAID to be very large.
