PHrLApEIPHIA, February 1.-THE
following address will be issued to-mor-
row by the Executive Committee OF the
Pennsylvania Republican Association,
an organization which has been perfect
ing it's plans for several months past,
and the object Of which Is 10 prevent
NJ. s. Quay's reelection to the United
States Senate, end secure the choice OF
some able and loyal Republican as his
successor.
The movement. IL Is said. IS entirely
separate and distinct from that which
was Intellectually launched against Mr..
Quay last fall, and proceeds from promi-
nent business, professional and working
men who have uniformly supported the
Republican party but have taken no
active part In politics.
Substantially the address runs thus:
ITO the Republican Voters OF Penn
sylvania:
believing that the best interests OF
the Republican party demand the re-
tlrement OF NJ. s. Quay from the United
States Senate. at the expiration OF hts
present term, and that he should be
succeeded by loyal Republican pos
sessed Of the qualities necessary 10 the
proper fulillment OF the duties OF that
nigh and responsible position, We here
by appeal 10 you for your support In
our effort 20 accomplish this result.
"We will briefly outline our reasons
for opposing his reelection to the United
States Senate.
"We oppose him because be has
forced unpopular. nominations and plat
forms which have brought defeat 90 the
party.
because he has instigated, or coEn-
tenanced the defeat OF the party can
didates TO achieve some personal end.
Because he has repeatedly induced
delegates and legislators to misrepre
sent the wishes Of the majority OF their
constituents.
because h. has aided In defeating
legislation 10 secure free ballot aud n
fair count in the South.
because by reason OF his frequent
absence from the Senate and the diver
sion OF his time 70 otice-getting he hss
failed 20 do the work which be should
have done in behalf Of leRislation'oi VI
tai importance TO the State OF Pennsyl-
vania, or 10 initiate aud secure the en-
actment OF a single important national
measure during his five years service
at Washington.
"Because he has repeatedly opposed
the nomination OF the Hon. James q.
Blaine for the Presidency, aud recently
has pretended 10 be ardently In favor OF
him In order that he might secure Ma
tional delegates whom he could dispose
OF TO his own advantage.
Because be has had primaries and
conventions called long before there
was any necessity for so doing In order
TO forestall a growing public sentiment
against him or his candidates.
"Because he has insisted that no
recognition should be accorded 10 any
element OF the party or To any OF It's
leaders who wers not willing 10 act with
or be subservient TO him.
because the system which he has
upheld has driven many able and hon
est men out OF the Republican party,
or has discouraged them from taking
active part In public life.
"Because be has placed men in Offices
or positions, so hampered oy pledges TO
him, that they cannot faithfully perform
their duties 10 the State or 10 their
party.
because we believe the Republican
voters have n right 10 choose their
United States Senators instead OF their
oelng selected by ofiice-holdcrs, with
but regard 10 character, ability or NJ
ness.
