SENATOR QUAY EXPOSED.

The New York Evening Post pub
fishes the folio. .ng concerning Uoited
States Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania.
Senator Quay is Chairman Of the
National Republican Committee:
"Eleven years ago Quay took $780,
900 from the Pennsylvania State
Treasury aud lost it in stock gam
bling. He had an associate in the
transaction, one j. Blake Walters, at
that time cashier OF the State Treas
ury. Walters subsequently drank him
self to death. Amos G. Noyes, the
State Treasurer, died not long alter
ward, and his death was said to have
been due largely to'his fear that the
robbery might be discovered. Quay
himself was for months the victim OF
guilty terror. A new State Treasurer
had been elected, and exposure was
imminent. A friend who visited him
ut the Lochiel house in Harrisburg,
found him drunk, and debating
whether he should cut his throat or
Jump into the Susquehanna river.
This friend visited Don Cameron, laid
the case before him, and that States
man, to avert scandal which would
have done great damage to the Re-
publican party in Pennsylvania, con-
tributed over 100000 to make up the
deficit. The rest of the sum neces
sary was supplied by Quay and Walt
ers. In 1885 Quay secured 'vindi-
cation by being nominated and elect
ed to- the Office OF State Treasurer.
But it was not merely Vindication
Quay was after. He wanted another
chance at the State funds. He got it
and availed himself Of it and much
more successfully than before. TO
pay for some bonds and shares of the
North Chicago railroad company he
took 100000 from the State Treas
ury and deposited it in the Peoples
bank Of Philadelphia. William 81.
Kemble, who had been pardoned a
few years before by Quay's pardoning
board, after having been convicted Of
bribery, was president Of the bank.
The 100000 remained in the Peoples
bank, the Chicago securities were de-
livered to Quay, who sold them at a
higher figure and pocketed the profits
and restored the embezzled funds to
the State Treasury"
