We believe Senator Quay is the choice OF
at least fve-sixths of the Republicans O!

We can only say that Quay has the princi

will be a friend Of NJ. 5. Quay. Sullivan L

believe that If the contest had been
made i'll this county for Unit..d States sen
ator three months ago the result would
have been doubtful. Bot the agitation O.
the question in the newspapers has had the
effect OF stirring up the ardor OF all Ioya
Ran,nhll,anS nd
the booming Of every other good cause, has
profited very materially. Were the prima-
ries to be held now believe TINT Senate,
Quay would carry this county by Il very
large majority, and have no reason to be-
heve that the sentiment in his favor will
change between this time and the days sc,
for the primary election and county COP
vention m June.-Howard E. Butz, Hunt
inGdon Globe Huntington county,.
1t is my opinion that if the fight shouh
narrow down between Senator Quay and
John Dalzell the former would prove the
victor. While it is true that there is con
opposition to Senator Quay among
q certain class, there is large body OF these
Republicans who, while preferring some one
else to him, would nevertheless support he
senator in preference to Dalzell-James b.
FBlfer, West Chester Republican Chester
county.
believe Were vVte taken in Franklin
county on the United States senatorshi1
Quay would carry the county by ten to one.
There Is very little, if any, opposition to
him here. The three delegates elected to
the state convention are all personal friends
Df Quay. Thn was known at the time OF
the convention. The three were elected on
the first ballot by large majoritHs. The
question Of Quay or anti-Cuay did not, how
ever, enter into the contest. Had 1t the re-
suit would have been the same and possibly
more decided. Franklin county is unques
tfonably for Quay for United States senator
by large majority.-A. Nerin Pomeroy,
Franklin Repository Fanklin county.
The People Have Spoken.
There h but one opinion In this section
now regarding the senatorial question, and
that is Quay. The emphasis given to this
opinion on the Goth ult. has not diminished
a particle, but has rather increased. Men
who bitterly opposed the senator regret
'lection. Mr.. Dalzelrs disastrous campaign
n this and other counties has convinced the
people that he is not in the fight for senator
md that his methods of campaigning are
lot adapted to this section of the country
"A. G. Herry, Armstrong Republican

The question of the preference of the Re
publicans of Crawford county for United
States senator was fairly presented at the
primaries and conclusively settled by vote

Dalzel. The result In Erie county tells the
'ame story: For Quay, 4,OS9; Dalzell, go
The soldier element in both counties was
unanimous for Comrade Quay. The pre-
'onderance of the Quay sentiment was
squally marked in the rural districts as well
Is in the cities. Mr. Dalzell's small vote was

lis friends and organs. There was plenty
