OPPOSING QUAY
The Organization to Prevent His
Reflection.
REASONS FOR THE OPPOSITION

An Address Which Charges the
senator with Disregarding Party
Interests 10 Further Personal
Ends, Opposing Increased Power
10 Voters, and with .ofIensiye
I3ossism."
PHlLADEIPHiA, Feb lS-The fight to
overthrow the leadership Of Senator NJ.
s. Quay and to prevent his reelection ID
the United Statessenate has commenced
within the lines Of the Republican
party. Many prominent Republicans in
the state have formed the Pennsylvania
Republican association, the motto being
"Republicanism VI. Quayism. Thisor-
ganization has permanent officers with
headquarters in this city, and its menu
bership extends into every Republican
county In the state. 1t proposes placing
IN nomination in each district next fall a
candidate pledged to oppose the re-elec-
ton Of Mr.. Quay 10 the United States
senate. A lengthy address Is issued,
giving reasons for the opposition to
Senator Quay. Some of the reasons
given are:
Reasons nor the Opposition. I
I'VE oppose him because he has forced
unpopular nominations and platforms
which have brought defeat to the party.
Because he has instigated, or coun-
tenanoed, the defeat of the party's can
| didates TO achieve some personal end.
!. Because he has both by words and
actions discredited the pledge policy Of
his party In behalf Of q genuine, efficient
and businesslike reform Of civil service
| and has compelled Office holders to de-
vote their time and money to political
work in his behalf.
: Because Of his attempts 70 embarrass
the present sound and patriotic admin
tstration, due TO the fact that the federal
offices il this state were not placed en-
tirely ct his dispooal.
Because he has repeatedly opposed
the nomination Of Hon. James Ct.
| Overwhelming sentiment OF the Repub.
| lican voters of the state was favorable
| to his selection, and recently has pre-.
| tended to be ardently IN favor Of him IN
order that he might secure national
delegates whom he could dispose of to
his own advantage.
Because 50 long - he dared to do "a
be opposed every change Of party rules
calculated to increase the power Of the
voters In county, district, state or nation.
Because he has had primaries and
conventions called long before there was
any necessity for 90 doing, in order T.
f0restau . growing public sentiment
| against him or his candidates.
Because he has insisted that no re-
cognition should be accorded to any ele.
ment Of the party, Or to any Of its lead
ers, who were not willing to act with 81
be eubserwient to him.
Because the system which he has mp
held has driven many able and honest
men out of the Republican party, OF
has discouraged them from taking
active part in public life.
Because we believe the Republican
voters have right to choose their
United States senators, instead Of their
being selected by Office holders, without
regard to character, ability or fitness .

PENNsYLVaNIA's ATTITUDE.

The Attorney General Prepared "a
Investigate Proper Complaints.
HARRIsBURG, Feb. Is. Governor Pat.
siison's attention having been called ID
newspaper reports purport1ng to repre-
sent his attitude toward the lease by the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
company of the Lehigh Valley and New
Jersey Central railroads, he said he saw
the first information he had of the
transaction in the newspaper press, and
that since the bear1ngof the state con
:stitntion on the matter and its effect
on the public interest and the welfare
or thescommonwealth has been the sub
ject of attention.
Continuing, the governor said: Il
have conferred with the attorney gen
'eral, and he with me. Tho subject Is
one that relates to his department ex-
clusiv6ly, and j have entire confidence
that he win dispose of it with due re-
gard to the requirements of the law and
the public interests involved,
Attorney General Hensel said the pres
emit question does not raise the same is
sne which was determined in the South
Penn and coal conspiracy cases. The
state had no right to interfere with pri-
waite enterprises unless they were preiu-
dical to public interests. Il conclusion
be said.
The questions of constitutional law
and Of public policy involved win be-
met when they are properly presented.
If il should be made to appear after
such hearing that the constitution has
been violated, that public interests are
prejudicially affected, and that the
proper remedy Is the intervention of the
commonwealth, the necessary and
proper measures win be taken, with due
public notice to all concerned. Nothing
viii be done in hurry and nothing
win be done in . corner, hat the public
interest viii be dniy protected against
every danger that threatens it so far rs
lies In my power and within the scope
Of my duty. Meantime no private IN
terest that is affected is without remedy
or need to wait on the commonwealth"

the Reading company has secured abso-
lutte control Of the Baltimore and Ohio

also the New York and New ENGLAND
Railroad company. The terms Of the
agreement, lease, ETC.. were finally de-

Hill people are badly demoralized.
The general opinion tonight is that
u combine of Hill and Boies is teing
formed. but it is doubtful at this writ
ing whether they can stop Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination on the first ballot
Nevertheless this plan is being pushed
tonight, and the New York leaders are
as hard at work as if the contest had
but just begun.
At d o'clock they reopened the cam.
palgn of literature aud issued mani
festo declaring that Mr.. Cleveland
could not obtain the electoral vote of
New York state if nominated. 1t was
signed by every delegate from New
York state. including James II. Man.
ming of Albany, the son of Mr.. Cleve-
lands deceased secretary Of the treas
ury, who has been staunch supporter
of Cleveland and personally unfriendly
to Mr.. Hill.
Autographed copies of this state
ment, containing the fac smile auto
graphs of the signers, were put about in
all the hotels, and thousands Of copies
distributed on the streets.
The Tammany leaders point to the
signatures of Cochran, Croker and
Fellows to show that the rumors about
Cleveland are false.
