John DALZELL'S. CANDIDACY
row Is THE TIAR.
Weilsboro Agitator.
The st atemsnt that Mr.. Dalsell Is
candidate for this position is gratifying IL
itself for his advancement to the Senatt
would be creditsble and advantageous V
the State. he is undoubtedly the ables
representative Pennsylvanis has II
either branch hGConness to-day; his per
sonal character is above reprosch, and po
Htically his leadership would be at oncf
inspiriting to the party and useful to the
State.
Mr.. Dalzelps announcement of his can
didacy has undoubtedly bean called out bJ
recent statements that Mr.. Quay has been
busy In making comuinsriUus for his OWE
re-election.and in ".:setting up the pins
to secure the nomination and election OF 9
Legislature that will be subservient to hii
will. 1t is evident that If the Republican,
of Pennsylvania wish to place in the Ma
tional Senate creditsble and useful rep
resentative they must ct once turn theil
attention to the selection of members Of
the Legislature who will respect their
wishes. The question of the Senatorial
succession is really to be decided at the
primary elections. and it is high time for
the people who feel an interest in that
question to make arrangements to send
men to Harrisburg who care moro for the
good name the State and the interests Of
their constituents than for the will of any
political wire-ppller.
Mr.. Dalzelps announcement comes none
too soon to arouse the people to effective
action on this subject and it win undoubt-
edly do much to crystalline and direct the
general sentiment against Mr.: Qusy's re-
election to post for which he is notori-
ously unified. Mr.. Daiselps pledge of
fidelity in the discharge of his official du-
ties and of loyalty to the principles of his
party was not needed to resssure the citi-
zens Of the Stats who have any knowledge
of his official career, but it is in fact q
pointed criticism of the official shortcom-
ings and political disloyalty of Senator
Quay.
1t is now for the Republicans of Penn
sylrania to determine whether their Sena-
torial delegation shall continue to excite
the contempt of the country, or whether
it shall be raissd ct least to the lsfel of that
of little Rhode Island. It is for them now
to determine whether they will perpetuate
q leadership that has within ten years
given us in this Republican State two DEM
ocratic sdministrsti ons, and whether they
perier to be represented in the National
councils by mousing politician or by .
rising clean handed statesman. The good
name of the Commonwealth and the vel
fare of the party borh call for decided i'm
in our senatorial delegation at
Washington.
THE MAN WANTED.
Sharon Herald.
Hon. John DaIzell, the able and honored
representative in Congress from Pittsburg,
has formally announced that he is q can
didate for Senator, to succeed Senator
Quay, This will be welcome news to
large proportion of the Republicans of
and to Republicans gener
ally.
They are tired Of the domination of q
man whose only claim to the position he
holds is his ability for politicalintrigue and
m manipulation; whose broadcast idea Of
craftsmanship is the personal profit and
honor it may bring to himself; whose name
is SYNONYM throughout the whole coun-
try for the most detestible form Of machine
D politics; Of man whose greatest effort of
his Senatorial career Of over four years was
q labored. halting defense of his person
al integrity from most damaging charges
made more than year before; aud under
which he has been content to rest in the
meantime. We mean Senator Quay.
They want man Of moral and political
principle; man with the brains and sbil-
ity to advocate and defend the interests of
his country, of his State. and Of his party.
They want man whose honor and charac-
ter does not have to be defended; q man of
ability and of broad views; man who is q
of Republicsnism in its
truest and best sense; man who is 9
statesman. They want q man who will
honor the Office and his State; man
among men.
They want such man as John Dalsell.
sEcRKT HOPE CUT DOWN.
New York Press.
When Senator Quay announced during
the week that he was not candidate for
reelection as Senator he qualified his
statement by saying that if his friends
should re-elect him thero would be no
refusal ON his part to accept again. There
has been secret hope among Republicans
of the country that Mr.. Quay would retire
from the Senstorship and from prominence
in tho party, which was cut down By his
declaration that he proposed to keep o
string on the place. The Legisla-
which Mr.. Qnay's successor will be appoint
ed, and the early announcement by Quay
and Dalzell is proof that hot contest viii
take place. As between the two men
there is no question that the Keystone
State would take higher rank in the Sem
ate with Mr.. Dalzell representing it there
than with Mr.. Quay, butit is for the Rep-
ublicaus of Pennsy lvania to decide whether
they wish to be represented in national
counssls by politician or rising states.

Mr.. Dalzell, who is in the. very prime

A DARK SHADOW.
Washington Dispatch.
Tho adherents Of Senator Qnsy are do
ing all they can to belittle Mr.. Dalzell
candidacy, but it is known that for week
and months past the fact that he would be
candidate has been dark shadow across
