5 ALLEGED OPPOSITION TO THE TARIFF Bill.
The story published in New York ant
Philadelphia papers that the Pennsylvania
! senator's and Senator Stanford will possibl,
/ vote against the tariff bill, and there Il
! danger that the bill will not pass the senate
a is ridiculed by many Of the Republican
senator's Nevertheless, there is good bash
! for it. Senator Quay has unquestionably
| stated within the past three days that it wa,
an open question whether or not he would
a vote for the bill The reason he has given
/. his friends for opposition 10 the measure L
' that it does not grant sufficient protection I,
3 Pennsylvania. lie refuses 70 be interviewed
a on the subject, but In private he says tha
. he has not fully determi led what he will do
! A prominent member Of the senate financt
j committee said TO a representative OF thl
/
Senator Quay has never intimated 70 nae tina
he would not vote for the bin. He has aske,
+ a number Of things of this committee, an,
e where it was possible they have beei
Is granted But there is one thing certain,
# said the SENATOR in italics, "we are going 4
n pass the bin.
= By another it was stated that the possibl
Il detection Of these senator's had been discusse,
e in committee. "lf they ever go back on tn
: party said he, "wos TO Pennsylvania Tn
z till will pass, if necessary by DamocrAti
s votes, and Pennsylvania industries win b
IS shaved before its passage in way that wi
p make the Pennsylvania senators wish the
d had voted for the bill"
it Those who know Senator Quay say that
would hardly be like him 20 bolt Republ
can caucus and refuse 10 vote for a measur
indorsed by the Republican party. How
n ever, it is thought that the votes OF Senator
e Brown, Payne and German, with the vote
5 Of at least two other Democratic senators
l. can be won by concessions If they are needle
e for the passage Of the bill
