On Quay's Resolution.

CINCINNATI Enquirer (Dem.): There seems
to be pretty strong belief that Mr. Quays
resolution will be adopted as the rule of the
Senate. 1t is even intimated that the Demo-
critic Senators are willing to see such pro-
gramme adopted, SO as to bring about an ad-
journment.
PHILADELPHIA Record (Dem.): 1t may be
doubtful whether sufficient Republican vote
can be drummed up to pass the Quay resolu-
tions and defeat the resolutions ahead of them
providing for such changes in procedure as
would cut off debate. But the situation in the
Senate is full of interest; and the Democrats at
present appear to hold the key to the position.
PHILADELPHIA Ledger (Rep.): A great
deal is said about Quayism, but the particular
sample of it now before the Senate Committee
on Rules providing for the doing of necessary
business by Congress, the dropping of the
Force bill for this session. and an early ad-
journment, meets with popular approval, and
seems likely to have the support Of Senate and
House.
CLEVELAND PIaindeager (Dem.): If the
Democratic Senators are favorably disposed
and sufficient number of Republicans will
bind themselves to vote tor it the Quay
protocol will be formally ratified the tariff,
river and harbor bills and few routine meas
utes passed and Congress will adjourn early
next month, leaving the force bill on the shelf
until December.
ALTOONA Times (Dem); The resolution
offered by Senator Quay on Tuesday is signifi-
can't He realizes that it will be impossible to
pass the tariff bill at this session if the force
bill Is kept on the programme. and he is will
ing that the election measure shall be shelyed
hoping that the Democrats will allow the tariff
bill to be rapidly pushed through. HIS motion
is a formal proposition to the Democrats to
come to an agreement on the legislation now
before the Senate.
HARRISBURG Patriot (Dem.). Senator
Quay's resolution which entirely excludes the
force bill from consideration at the present
session has been referred to the Committee on
Rules and the probabilities are that it will be
passed. Senator Quay's object is plain enough
for anyone to see He knows very well that if
the measure of the hot-headed partisans were
passed the Republicans would be SO completely
routed at the coming election that it would be
difficult for them to ever get together.
CLEVELAND Leader (Rep.): Senator Quay's
idea that Congress must adjourn soon, ana be-
fore the passage Of Federal elections bill, in
order that the Representatives may tax part in
the Congressional campaign, is interesting
rather than impressive. Nearly half the men,
bers of the House are Democrats. SO that one
party will lose or gain, by the length of the
session as much as the other. The advantages
and disadvantages of continuing session until
the work in hand is completed are about a
"stahd-off."
HARRISBURG Call (Rep.): The probabilities
are that there will be no Federal election bill
passed at this session of Congress- Senator
Quay has shown himself to be against it by the
of the resolution to limit debate
on the tariff bill As the days go by the opposi-
tiop to the passage of the bill is gradually be-
ing increased by accessions from the Repub.
lican side, and If the Republican Senators who
are known to be opposed to the measure would |
vote in accordance with their convictions it is |
more than probable that it would be defeated |
ON square vote.
PHILADELPHIA Iymes( Ind. }: Senator Quays |
move is not made in fitful or hap-hazard |
mood. He knows that he is entrenched in his-
position and can't be dislodged, He knows |
that Cameron is with him; that both have ad. |
yised against the Force policy as suicidal; that
enough other Republican Senators are not
only ready, but glad Of the opportunity to es-
cape the odious policy Of Force, and his reso-
ution is simply public proclamation that the
Force election bill can't pass the Senate this
session, which means that it will never nass
hat body.
