proofs in the hands of men who are
and not resort to the childish tactics
of trying to associate Nr. Quay with
the failure of the Sectional Board bill
and Bardsley's defalcations.
In their last splurge these out-throats
make some very grave charges and it
may happen that Mr.. Quay will turn
upon them and demand that they give
their assertions the proper backing.
In such an event, judging from past
history, these hypocritical Mugwumps
will find themselves in nasty pre-
dicament.
Those who know Mr.. Quay know
that whatever he does follows calm
and deliberate consideration, and
when he acts his movements are sub
iect to more than one construction.
They are decisive and fearless, such as
cause copperheads like the signers OF
that slanderous manifesto to crawl into
their holes.
Mr.. Quay could not have attained
his undisputed leadership of the Re
publican party without deserving II
and for him to reach that point with
out creating strong personal antag-
onisms could not be expected. Very
naturally Mr.. Quay has made alliances
best calculated to advance his OWE
plans and in dispensing his aid anc
influence has first served those who
have served him. Among those whC
have been fortunate enough to get OF
the ground floor with Mr.. Quay art
the latest would-be sensation boomers
They have not been obliged to nurs'
their disappointmentso outside hegates
because there is no man in this country
who despises party traitor more than
Mr.. Quay does. Hence, the case
the manifesto issued by the 1850 Re
publicansn is very clear one. Qua,
hates the traitors to his party and tn
traitors hate Quay. Quay is on top o
the heap inside the fence and tn
traitors are in the soup outside. Tn
traitor has but one consolation-try t.
pull Quay down. This they are try
ing to do, but they will never succeed
The Mugwumps own paper, the Phila
delphia Press, is forced to this sdmis
sion:
"The structures which the addres
makes upon Mr.. Quay lose nearly a
) their force by being associated wit
t matters irrelevent and disconnected
q The object which the addres
: proposes to the Republican voters {
Pennsylvania would have been muc
better promoted by briefer, bette

DIRTY WORK AGAIN.

DIRTY WORK AGA1N.
The annual crop of slanderous on
slaughts upon Senator Quay is now
upon the market. A gang of weak
minded soreheads opened the market
in Philadelphia yesterday by throw
Ping broadcast vile, vindictive docu-
meut that is disgrace to the signers.
The approach of the attack was
heralded throughout the country for
several days past and the people were
notified to be prepared for "a political
sensation of the first magnitude"
AS sensation boomers the authors of
that excellent sample of vituperative
rhetoric are complete failures. The
document is an insult to the intel
ligent voters of the country. 1t is a
fraud built upon combination of base
lies and no intelligent man who reads
il can hereafter entertain any respect
for the men who have signed it.
"It is signed by one hundred and
fifty Republicans" says shOrt-sighted
contemporary. 1t is signed by one
hundred and fifty political renegades
who conspired months ago to hamper
the Republican party, doing Their
dirty work under the guise of saviors
of the party.
The men who signed that document
are prompted by partisan malice
They are assaulting the Gibraltar o
the Republican party with view tC
destroying the whole and place vic
tory in the hands of the Democrats
The document shows upon its face that
there is snake in the grass and wher
the signers say they have made thu
attack hoping to promote party har
mony and success they show thei
utter disregard for the truth. Thes,
men are not in position at this lat,
day to demand that Mr.. Quay resign
from the leadership of the Republical
party. Their hands are not clean

have left undone those things which
they ought to have done months ago
if the object they pretended to reacl
could have been secured by any pos
sible means. They are men who ar
ever ready to assert and never read,
to prove and their latest attack shoul
be thrown aside until they make goo
their unfinished work. If Mr.. Quay
answer to their old charges was nc
complete and sufficient to vindicat
him let them step forward like men,

A Platoon of Witnesses Testify in

No Excitement.
IE TRIAL GROWS VERY EXCITING.

By National Press association.
NEW YoRK, July IA platoon of
witnesses marched into the General Ses-
sions, fred upon Ameer Ben Ali and fell
back. They displayed the utmost pre-
cision and directness. None Of them
made any serious blunder. True, they
came from the slums, and most of them
admitted that they were old jailbirds.
Will the jury believe their testimony
Perhaps. If a revolving crime is COM
mitted amid the most squalid sur
roundings what witnesses can be
brought forward other than the sodden
creatures who frequent the scene of the
crimeS
1t is too early to do any prophesying
vet, but it is hard to believe that an in
telligent jury will doom man to death
on the testimony of such degraded per-
sons.
Frenchy Not Excited.
throughout the long drawn proceed
ings the prisoner never ceased to watch
everything that was going on. He OBJ
served each witness face as earnestly
and composedly as a man studies hand
writing. He must have understood
much of what the witnesses were saying,
yet neither fear, nor hate, nor rage
moved him as he gazed at the men and
women whose words, If believed, will
send him to awful death.
CIrcumstantial Evidence.
The chain of oircumstantial evidence
had another link rivited in 1t by Mrs.
Sullivan's testimony. She unwittingly
but wildly painted the life of poor old
| Shakespeare, The wretched old woman
hadn't eaten anything for two or three
| days.
The Sullivan woman had only 80
cents, but they went into u saloon and
| got glass of beer. Here they ate the
| free lunch of corned beef and cold slaw,
a pickle, bre d, and finally, at Alice Sui
| livan's treat, cheese sandwich each.
Science finds all these in the blood un-
der Frenchy's finger nails.
| The witnesses for the day were' Eddie
| Fitzgerald who can't write unless some
body spells for him. He rehearsed the
letting of room No. 33 to Frenchy.
Samuel Shine, the bartender, once an
operative of a knitting machine, told
| how Freuchy had slept in the house the
night previous to tho one on which the
murder occurred.
DIR. William r. jenkins minutely de-
scribed the wound seen by him at the
autopsy on "Old Shakespeare" and de-
/ clared that her death was by strangula-
| tion.
Detective George Aloncle told how he
discovered the lie of "Frenchy's" circum-
stantial story about getting blood-st lined
| in Jamaica.
Mary Ann Lopez told how she identi-
fed Frenchy in the station house as the
man who had bitten her arm in attempt
ing to rob her of a dollar.
David Gilloway, Edward Smith and
Theodore Miller swore to having seen q
knife in Freuch's hands similar to thai
held bv the assistant district-attorney
Inspector Byrnes will probably b'
called to the stand this afternoon and
may spring u surprise on the defence.
The Recorder ruled out all evidence re-
garding the knife found under the mur
dered woman.

TaE committee in charge of the bene- fit entertained at the opera house Thursday evening wish 1t understood that the proceeds will not all go to Mex jeans. There are number of white fam dies in need, but through false price they refused to make it known, and it is only after inquiry that many cases deserving help have become known. A case in point came to the knowledge of THE REPuBlcAs yesterday. A white family living southwest Of the city, con sisting of father, mother and four chil- dren, lost everything they had. The mother and children were brought into the city last Thursday, given some dry clothes by the people who rescued them from the water, and furnished with one meal from the Sheria's office. Since then they have been living on the charity of friends but little better situ- ated than themselves. Worst of all in this case is that the mother is in Q deli cate condition and will need good food and comfortable clothing. The com mittee will especially look out for this American family and others in similar poor circumstances.

-----N---------------------' THE CIALABAsAS ROAD.

Necessity for Communication Between
 Tucson and the Mexican Border. From the Nogalns Herald
 Surveyor George J. Roskruge was in the city Wednesday, having come down on preliminary outlook over the pro- posed CalahIlsas & Tucson railroad. There have been three or four lines run and Mir. Roskruge says that the expense of building a road over either of them would be very light. As the lines have been run thu distance from Tucson to Calabasas is ffty-seven miles and to Nogales it would be about sixty-six miles.
 The capitalists whom Colonel Sykes represents have immense capital and ther offer is very fair one. All asked is that the county votes bonds in the sum of S200,IlO but before they ask for any portionIo of that sum, they agree to have the road completed and trains run ming. It would certainly be a great advantage tb the entire county and the Herald would be, glad to see the road built. We understand that the people of Tucson are very much interested in the enterprise.

TIE picture of the new Queen of Hawaii reconciles the ordinary observer to the statement that she is inclined to lean toward the English, She is not pretty, and yet the evolution going on in Hawaii is something wonderful. Could the old navigators, who went there and found that people simply race of cennibals, have been told that in the year 1891 that people would dress their city in anticipation of the coming of their King, with triumphal arches and with notices of welcome, and then on the coming of one of the ships of "the great white squadron" with dropping flags, bringing on board the dead body of that King, that all in day would be changed, and that the emblems of mourning would be substituted for the cmblems of rejoicing; that in day Q city of smiles would be changed to acity of tears, the old mariners would not have believed the story. A kindly race are those Hawaiians, as simple-minded as children, cordial, generous, soft hearted; all traces of the old cannibal spirit have been driven out, and of all the nations of the earth that is the gentiest.
