WHAT SENATOR FRYE SAID.

Mr.. Quay quotes from speech made by
Mr.. Frye in the senate on August 90 to
support his claim that the tariff bill could
not pass unless the elections bill was post.
poned or defeated. The quotation from
Mr.. Frve's speech was purpoSely made so
as to convey an impression the very oppo-
site from that stated by Mr.. Frye himself
This is what Mr.. Frye said, as it appears
in the Congressional Record, on page
8,84S:
Il sympathize with the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts, (Mr. HOar) in
all the utterances in this great speech. one
entirely worthy of hin. 1t was my for
tune or misfortune early in my public
career in Washington To be compelled to
investigate into election methods in the
South and also IN the state of New York
The barbarities inflicted, the outrages per
petrated, tae injustice. done to harmless
and innocent body of American citizens in
the south for no reason under the sun ex-
cept that they desired to exercise their
rights, which the constitution of their
country gave, so impressed my mind and
heart that for years | never have permit
ted myself and my conscience has never
allowed me, TO address my fellow citizens
from public platforms without under ak
ing to incite and quicken their consciences
on this subject, which has to-day been un-
der discussion.
Il knew perfectly well, as they did, that
the Republican party had neglected its
opportunities when it had unlimited power
almost in both houses of congress, and
have assured these people and promised
them again and again thatifthe Republican
party under God was ever permitted to be
in power again in this Republic something
should be undertaken, at least, to right the
terrible wrongs which were being commit
ted. Applause from the galleriesl Mr..
President, the Republican party IS once
more in power. Will those promises be
redeemedY
1--WE are confronted in this senate, not
by theory to-day, but by q condition.
If there are forty three Republican sena-
tors who will waive for a few days their
convenience and their comfort, their pri-
vate business and their pleasure, and re-
main in their seats in this senate chamber
from 10 o'clock in the morning till
O'Clock at night, and all night long if it
may beIaecessary; if there are forty three
Republican senators who believe in pro
tecting American citizens within our own
borders as they do believe in protecting

From last weeks CITIZEN.
Those Interviews.

Ouay's friends interviewed But
Ter last week as to their preference
for United States Senator and out
of some fifteen hundred voters
they found thirty Republicans and
one Democrat, who favored his re-
election.
These interviews were published
in the Eagle" of last week, with
few from outside points, and
they form an interesting col
lection.
Most Of the Republicans men,
toned are undoubtedly honest and
sincere in their views, though, in
our opinion, misled and mistaken.
Others, however, are not SO frank,
and Of one or two of these let us
speak.
The lengthiest of the diatribes
is that of Thomas Robin son, Esq,
who gives a short biography of
Quay, in which he drags in the
name of Judge Agnew, forgetting
that no man in this State ever
wrote a more scathing denunci-
alton of the "Cameron--Quay
Combine" than did Judge Daniel
Agnew.
The Combine" shelved Agnew.
some fifteen years ago, when he
was in the prime of life, and plac-
ed Judge Sterrett, of Pittsburgh, in
nomination, and so many Repub-
licans of the State were indignant
about it, that Judge Turnkey, of
Franklin, the Democratic nominee,
was elected to the Supreme Bench.
Robinson has had control of
all the Federal appointments OF
this county for years. under the
same combine" his daughter
held the postoffice here for eight
years under it, and it would be
"the height of both ingratitude
and folly" for him to now desert
his masters and patrons.
Col. John NJ. Thompson and
Quay were in the same regiment.
Col. Thompson stayed at the front
longer than Col. Quay, and re-
signed after being wounded. He
is to-day, and always has been,
Quay's superior, physically mental
ly and morally. He approves of
Quay's methods, and--.he question
is a fair one-Why was Thomp-
son retired after one term in
Congress, while honors and offices
without number have been show
cred on Quay
Col. John NJ. Sullivan favors
Ouay's reelection because of his
'ablc and faithful" public service.
That is the same expression used
in the Eagles" snake story,
and the same answer will apply.
The Col. held office by appoint
ment, during almost his entire
active life, under Simon Cameron,
and the present "Cameron--Quay
Combine" and if Robinson would,
as he intimatcs, be a base migrate
if he did not support the
combine" now, no words would
be black enough to picture Sulli-
vans ingratitude under similar

KILLED by QUAY'S PROPOSED RULE.
1t will be seen from this that the vital
part of Mr. Frye's speech is left out in the
garbled quotation given in the Quay organ.
If Mr.. Cameron and Mr.. Quay had stood
up and voted ami acted with their Repuh
lican associates. as agreed upon IN caucus.

by changing the rules they would have
passed both measures in TIN days time.
stated by Mr.. Frye in his speech. The
opposition of the Pennsylvania senators
encouraged some of the free silver senator's
To the same end, and as result the
elections bill was killed by Mr.. Quay's
proposed rule, and the passage of the tariff
bill was delayed until such u late day that
the Republican party was overwhelmed Is
a result in the elections that followed.
The vote on the report to change the
rules, as given in January. showed that it
lacked at that time only one vote to carry
it through. Mr. Cameron voted with the
Democrats, which defeated the motion,
the vote standing 30 to 34 II the vote had
been taken before Mr.. Cameron was re-
elected to the Senate. everybody knows
that he would have been compelled to
vote with the Republican side, and his
vote would have left the decision to the
Vice President, and there vas not the
least doubt in tue world as to where he
stood. But every body knows in Washing
ton hat Mr. Cameron at the same time Mr..
Quav introduced bis rule designed to Kill
the elections bill. was relying on Quays
aid to defeat the bill if it should be needed
The Democrats always claimed that they
could have Quay's vote if they wanted il,
and Cameron knew that he could not be re-
elected without Quay's assistance.
1t is thus very evident from the vote
that finally resulted in killing the cleo
tions bill that it might have been passed
along with the tariff bill if it had not
been for the betrayal of his trust by Mr..
Quay in introducing a rule designed to
kill the elections bill In defiance of the
Republican caucus and of the platforms of
the party. And after all this record Mr..
Quay, or some of his fool friends, have the
assurance to ask the public to believe that
he saved" the tariff bill

THE CAUCUS AT CAMERoN's HOUSE.

About this time attention having been
called in the Press to the refusal of the
Pennsylvania senators to confer with their
associates in caucus, and Mr. Cameron
thinking that 1t might injure him in his
candidacy for re- election, sought to meet
this criticism by inviting the Republican
senators to hold caucus at his house to
consider.the subject. The invitation was
accepted. The caucus was held at Mr..
Cameron's house and an agreement reached
that the rule should be changed or t. at
the Republican senators should continue
in session until the tariff bill was passed.
Quay did not attend that caucus either,
and both be and Cameron atterward re-
pudiated or refused to carry out the agree
ment made at that caucus
All this time Mr.. Quay was almost III
daily consultation with Mr.. German and
other Democrats, and every body knew thai
his influence, as well as that of Mr. Cam
eron, was being exerted with deadly effect
against the bill for honest elections, and
therefore against any rule which would
secure the passage of that bill as well as
the tariff bill.

WASHINGTON. March l5-An article in
Mr. Quay's newspaper organ in Philadei-
phia. entitled, How Quay saved the tariff
bill. and undeis stood tn have been written
under Mr.. Quay's order and direction. was
exhibited yesterday to a number OF Re
publican senator's, and created no little
amusement in the Senate chamber. If Mr..
Quay had claimed 10 have saved the bill
providing for fair and honest elections be
could not have exhibited more assurance,
in the opinion of the senator's, then he,did
in putting forth the claim that be saved
the tariff bill!
Mr.. Aldrich, Mr.. Sherman and Mr.
Hise0ck were the three Republican SEN
ators especially in charge of the tariff BILL
Owing tc his advanced age, Mr.. Morrill,,
chairman OF the finance committee, was
not able to take personal charge ot the
bill and Mr. AIdrich did that work. III
Mr.. Quay can get Mr.. Aldrich or MI
sherman 10 subscribe to his claim OF
Saving the tariff bill, then there will be
no ground OF complaint against him.
Blu, Mr. Quay knows well enough that
he, more than any other man. Is held by
the senators who were in charge OF that
tariff bill, responsible for the delay In
passing it, and as a result for the disaster
that overwhelmed the Republicans in the
election of 1890. Had the tariff bill been
passed promptly in the senate it would
have been before the people long enough
to have allowed the Republicans the time
necessary to reiute the Democratic false
hoods about the measure But 1t was
passed so late in the session that there
was no opportunity to meet the precon-
certed and universal attack on the bill.
For that delay in passing the bill the two
Pennsylvania senators have always been
held particularly responsible by the sena.
tors in charge of the bill. 1t is safe to say
that Mr. Quay will wait long time be-
fore he will get Mr.. Sherman or Mr.. Al
drich to say anything to the contrary. 1t
was regarded by the senators as amazing
that Mr. Quay should call attention to his
record on that tariff bill.
"If the senator is not responsible for the
article" remarked one of his associates
to-day, "he ought without delay to send
the fool-killer to Philadelphia.

QUAY WAS FISHING.

1t is well known here, and to the readers
of the Press, because attention was called
to it at that time, that Mr.. Quay was
fishing at Atlantic City or Cape May while
the tariff bill was under consideration,
and was otherwise absent a good deal of
the time. The best proof of this is found
in the official records Of the Senate. There
were 1873 roll calls on the tariff bill, and
on sixty nine roll calls he was recorded
absent and on sixty nine as present. But
this only gives faint idea of his neglect
of the interests of his State. Pennsylva-
mia, as everybody knows, was more inter
ested in that bill than any other state, and
the interests of no other state suffered i'll
the Senate so much as those of the Key
stone State. All the large reductions were
made on Pennsylvania products. And
how unfair were some of the d.scrimi-
nations was well known to some Of the
Pennsylvania members of the House at
that time. The duty on hemlock lumber,
for instance, a Pennsylvania product, was
cut down so per cent, while the duty on
spruce lumber, a product of Maine forests,
was not reduced at all Mr.. Mccormick,
of Wiliamsport, who was member of the
House at that time, got no assistance
whatever from the Pennsylvania senators
in looking after the lumber interests. In
fact, neither of them were in Washington
at the time the Senate committee was
considering the matter. They were both
absent also when the committee was con-
sidering the iron and steel schedule, and
when they did seek to prevent the large
reductions in that schedule they were too
late, as the committee had already done
its work

HISTORY OF THE TARIFF BILL.

The tariff bill was reported to the Sen
ate on the 18th OF June. 1890. Soon alter
ward Mr.. Morrill, moved to take up the
bill in the Senate, but owing to absceatee-
ism on the Republican side, the motion
was lost. Among the abscntees were
Cameron and Quay.
A little later Mr.. Gray, of Delaware.
acting in accordance with the Democratic
program to delay the consideration OF the
tariff bill, moved to take up the bill to
transfer the revenue maine service to the
navy department Mr.. Morrill, antaga-
nized the motion with one to take up the
tariff bill But Mr. Gray's motion pre-
vailed, and among those voting with him
was Mr. Cameron, Mr.. Quay was, of course,
absent.
Four days later the revenue marine
bill was again taken up in preference to
the tariff bill by the aid of Mr.. Cameron'S
vote, and Quay was absent. Three days
later the revenue marine bill again dis
placed the tariff bill by aid of Mr.. Cam
eron s vote.
The next vote on the tariff was on a
motion made by Mr.. Turpie to recommit
il, which was of course lost, but both
Cameron and Quay were absent. The
consideration of the bill then began in
earnest, but it had at that lime been before
the, Senate for month and half, with
the senators in favor of it vainly endeav-
oring to get it up for consideration, and al
ways finding themselves antagonized either
directly by the votes of the Pennsylvania
senators or by their absence.
