how should vote has certainly been dis
pelled," said State Senator Jacob Grouse, of
Philadelphia, when asked his attitude on
the United States senatorship. 'T shall
vote for the reelection of Senator Quay.
There can be no question now as to the
sense Of the Republicans of Pennsylvania
on this ISSUE Enough of them have already
expressed their sentiments on this point
to leave no room for doubt We have
heard county after county, as the Republi-
can primaries have been held, enthusiastic
cally declare for Senator Quay.
Days of Lincoln and Douglas Recalled.
'In the entire history of American poll
tics there has never been such a marvellous
exhibition of popular approval of a candi-
date for public office. Never since the his
torical contest waged by Lincoln and Doug
las in Illinois until now has the question
of an election to the United States senate
been submitted to the people themselves.
Senator Quays boldness in going to the
country as the parliamentarians call it, was
not unexpected to those fully acquainted
with the man who has been called the Ma
poleon of American Politics. He maintained
that no one with a righteous cause-no mat
ter how much he might be assailed by the
malignancy and hate of vindictive enemies,
either within or without his political house
hold-need fear the result when the people
themselves had chance to pass Judgment
upon candidate or upon his cause. Further

Senator Grouse, "and in no uncertain

"Right here" he added, 'I want to say
that while the agricultural sections of the
state have already gone Overwhelmingly for
Quay, the industrial centers are just as cor
daily and earnestly in favor of his re-elec-

the state that presents as many industrial
establishments as mine. My constituents

he to stand and face a popular vote with

"To what do you attribute this sentiment
for Senator Quay9"
II have heard probably hundred rea-
sons," spoke up Senator Grouse with some
spirit, ''advanced from probably as many
sources No loyal Republican can overlook
or underestimate the invaluable services OF
Senator Quay to the Republican party and
capacity as chairman of the Republican
national committee.
Projections Great Victory.
"When Republicans of Pennsylvania read
the recently published review of Senator
Quay's work in that role, their hearts were
once more filled with the feelings of admir-,
alton and gratitude that went out TO him
from every Republican in the country OF
that eventful night when the wires spread
the glad news that Cleveland and free trade
