The Louisville Courier Journal charges
| Senator Quay with acting agent for the Anti
Prohibition committee in Pennsylvania It also
says he was the prime mover in the submitting of
the Prohibitory Amendment to the people. The
Journal says that the Boss" as it terms Mr.
/ Quay, was instrumental in submitting the
amendment before the people were ready for it,
and it is believed that it Will be defeated by rs
600 majority
I Now Mr.. Editor does the Courier Journal tell
the truth or not? Is Sanator Quay the financial

still chairman of the Republican National Com

to get him ont of Office, in case the Journals
charge is true. The position of the progressive

that their wings should be promptly clipped

is acting the part of the demagOgue and is will
ing tool of the saloon, he ought to be merciiessly
exposed and bounced from his position. We want
no man as leader of the Republican party who will
for any consideration do the dirty work of the
liquor power which is the one gigantic curse of
the age It was reported last fall that Quay won
a large sum of money betting on the election, but
the report lacked confirmation. If that report
was true he should be required to step down and
