lowing address will bo issued tomorrow
by tho executive committee OF tho
Pennsylvania Republican Association,
an organization which has been per-
fccting its plans for several months
past, and the object OF which is to pre-
vent NJ. S. Quay's reelection to tho
United States senate and secure tho
choice OF some able and loyal Republi-
can as his successor.
The movement, it is said, is entirely
separate and distinct from that which
was Intellectually launched against Mr..
Quay last fall, and proceeds from prom
incnt business, professional and work
ingmen, who have uniformly supported
the Repu blican party, but have taken
no active part in politics. Substantial
ly the add rcss runs thus:
To The Republican Voters Of fPennsylrunid.
believing that the best interests OF
the Republican party demand the re-
tirement OF NJ. S. Quay from the United
States senate, at the expiration OF his
present term, and that he should be
succeeded by a loyal Republican pos
sessed oil the qualities necessary 10 tho
proper fulfllment Of the duties OF that
high and responsible position, we hero
by appeal to You for your support in
our effort to accomplish this result.
We will briefly outline our reasons
for opposing his reelection to the
United States senate.
We oppose him because he has forced
unpopular nominations and platforms
which have brought defeat to the party.
because he has instigated, or counte-
nanced the defeat OF the party's candi-
dates to achieve some personal end
Because ho has repeatedly induced
delegates and legislators to misrcpre-
sent the wishes Of the majority OF their
constituents.
Because he has aided in defeating
legislation to secure u free ballot and a
fair count in the south.
Because by reason OF his frequent ab-
sence from the senate, and the diversion
OF his time 10 olIice-getting, he has
failed to do the work which he should
have done in behalf OF the legislation OF
vital Importance to the state OF Penn
sylvania, or to Initiate and secure the
enactmentof asingle approximations
measure during his five years service at
Washington.
Because he has repeatedly opposed
the nomination OF the Hon. James G.
Blaine for the Presidency, and recently
has pretended to be ardentlyin favor OF
him in order that he might secure
national delegates whom he could dis
| pose OF to his own advantage.
| Because he has had primaries and
conventions called long before there
was any necessity ior SO doing, in order
to forestall growing public sentiment
against him or his candidates.
Because he has insisted that no rec
ognition should be accorded to any ell
emcnt OF the party or to have any mis-
take of the party or to any OF its leaders
| who were not willing to act with or be
| subsorvient to him.
Because the system which he has up
held has driven many able and honest
men out OF the Republican party, or has
discouraged them from taking active
part IN the public life.
Because he has placed men in Offices
or positions, so hampered by pledges to
him that they cannot faithfully perform
their duties to the state, or to their
party.
Because VIC believe tho Republican
voters have a right to choose their
| United States senators instead OF their
being selected by ollicc.holders without
regard to character, ability or fitness.
We issue this address by the author
ity OF the Pennsylvania Republican
Association, whose executive committee
we are, which organization has its
representatives in every Republican
county OF the state, and which was born
OF the necessity ior concerted action to
oppose the banded ofiicialism which
has been at the beck and call OF Mr..
| Quay. 1t is the purpose OF our
organization to carry on the contest
strictly within party lines and
to secure the election OF q majority. of
the Republican members OF the iiext
legislature who will unaltorably oppose
the reelection OF NJ. S. Quay to the
United States senate, and who will
favor the choice OF any honest Rcpubli.
can rs his successor, which shall stamp

house OF Congress.
To every patriotic Republican OF
Pennsylvania who believes that tho nd.
vancement OF the principles OF the Re-
publican party is above and beyond all
personal interests, and who is opposed
to political bossisn in every form, to all
who wish to see our great common
wealth OF Pennsylvania properly
represented at Harrisburg and
Washington, and in our ma
tional and state conventions to
the best interests OF the Republican
voters; TO all such, and especially 10
the young men Of our party, in whose
hands the future OF tho republic rests,
We extend cordial invitation to Join us
in this movement, and TO notify us OF
their Willingness to do SO by communi-
eating with the Pennsylvania Republi-
can Association at its permanent head
