When that strong Republican paper, the
Wellsboro Agitdtor, expresses the ieehng
that the representation of Pennsylvania in
the United States Senate ought to be
'sraised at least to the level of that Of little
Rhode Island it is in danger of hitting
our present Senators in every tender spot.
Rhode Island has really strong represen-
tation in the Senate, as many Pennsyiva-
MIA business men have come to know IN
the past few years In most instances. II
not all, when our business men have gone
to Washington to confer with the Pennsyl-
yania Senators on matters of consequence
to the material interests Of the State they
have been referred to Senator Aldrich, OF
Rhode Island, or to some other Senator
who knew something outside of spoils- get
ting. This. has been very humilating fact
to Pennsylvnaians who have had business
at the capital, and who supposed our Sen
ators would be competent to take hold OF
any matter which concerned the business
interests of the State.

This ballot will probably be as large as
any that will ever be used in this or any
other State. The names of thirty two
Presidential electors from each party, the
nominees for Congress, including the can
didates at large, and for Senator, Repre-
sentative and county offices, must all be
printed on one ticket. If the names were
printed one after the other on ticket ioar

three yards long.

John DALZELLS CANDIDACY

JUST WHAT THIS STATE NEEDS
New York Independent
| 1t is said that Congressman Dalzeii, VINO
worthily represents the Twenty-second
District of Pennsylvania in the House OF
Representatives, is q candidate to succeed
Senator Quay 1t would be most excel
lent selection. No State in the Union Is
more inadequately represented in the upper
house than Pennsylvania 1.-THE great State
ought at least to have one Senator who
can speak for her on important questions
1t ia most earnestly to be hoped that Mr.
Dalsell will be selected.
MAKE AN OPEN CONTEST.
Norristown Times.
1t is plain as day that there is very
interesting conflict ahead over the question
of the successor to Mr.. Quay as United
States Senator from Pennsylvania AND
as this conflict is now inevitable, it is much
to be desired that it be conducted above
board, in an open field, and upon fair and
square principles Of of::political warfare
. That Mr.. Quay Ia already candidate,
working quietly but most iudustriously
in his own inimitible way Is
well known by those informed on the stu
alton. Let him however declare himself
meeting Mr. Dalrell face to face. In that
event no one will be able to belittle his
victory in case he wins, and it will be i'm
possible to put doubtful construction on
the result in case he is defeated. Come
ont from under cover Mr.. Quay, and let
the fight be fair and open.
SHOULD BB AN IMPossTBTLITY.
Doylestown Intelligencer.
From the Intelligencer' 9 standpoint there
is but one eligible candidate appealing to
the Republican barty of Pennsylvania for
election to the United States Senate. If
Mr. Quay represents anything but his own
desire to succeed himself and the power OF
organized political machinery, it has new
er been manifested He has taken no
place of leadership in the Senate; he has
not yet vigorously upheld Republican prin-
eiples;he has not yet originated good legisla-
ton; be has not given industrious service;
there is no claim anywhere, by any ele-
ment of the party, that Mr.. Quay has been
valuable Senator; he has not exerted
good influence in Pennsylvania State poll
tics; he has not sought to declare and sup
port sound Republican doctrine 10 party
platforms; there Is nothing Senator Quay
has done, so far as is known to the public,
since the election of 1888, which has been
for the good of the Republican party. In
fact Quayism in Pennsylvania and the ma
tion has been so harmful that much of the
disaster Of 1890 is fairly chHgeable thereto
while the result of 1891, after Quay's break
with President Harrison. betokens reac-
ton in favor Of Republicanism apart from
Quay.
Quay's candidacy, judged upon his own
and the party's record in three years past
should be an impossibility. As Pennsyl-
vania's representative in the United States
Senate, he should have no consideration.
Mr.. Quay only represents the machine of
politics, which has already man ia the
person of Mr.. Cameron.

THE fact that the Congressional nomi-
mating Convention for the Twenty y-ffth
District has already been fixed for the sec
ond Tuesday in May indicates that there
are to be very early primaries. The twen-
ty.fifth district Is composed of the counties
of Beaver. Butler, Lawrence and Mercer,
and il Is most likely that the nominations
for the Legislature will be made in all Of
th EN- before the lat Of May.
This is we'll understood to be a part OF
Senator Quay's programme in counties
where his friends can fix the time for the
primaries. In this way he expects to have
many Legislative nominations made before
the pposition is aroused. His candidates
are already agreed upon and are at work.

In this list there are twenty Republicans
and but four Democrats. with one vacancy.
There is only one absolutely certain Demo
cratic district among them, the Eleventh,
composed of Berks County. The Nine
teenth District, Chester County, and the
Thirty seventh, Indiana and Jefferson, are
very certain to go Republican this year,
while the Twenty first District, which is in
Luzerne County is debstable, and really
ought to be redeemed by the Republicans.
The Republicans lost six districts in 1890
from one cause or another, but in all but
one district the loss can be traced to the de-
moralization in the party created by the un-
popular nomination for Governor and the
methods By which it was brought about.
If the Republicans are to have the same
strength they had at the last session they
must carry at least twenty-five Of the
twenty five districts, and unless the party
is moro seriously Handicapped than It ought
to be there viii be no great difficulty in win
ming twenty-three districts, leaving the
Democrats but two.
Let 1t not be forgotten that the political
complexion Of the next Senate will depend
upon the election of next November, for
the majority of the hold-ovsr Senators are
Democrats. The fact is not q misfortune,
for it will enable the party to elect more
than two-thirds ofthe Republican Senator's
on the direct issue Of the United States
Senatorship. philadelphia Press.
