Tap libel suit of Senator Matthew
ALL THE NEWS FOR ONE CENT.

The libel suit of Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay against the Pittsbnrg
Post is at an end and the Senator is
again vindicated. This victory is
especially significant, inasmuch that
the defendants went into court blow
ing horns and notifying the public to
be prepared for startling exposures in
connection with the character of the
distinguished Senator, Martin and
others. The exposures failed to de-
velop and the ingenuity of the dis
tinguished counsel for the defendants
failed to make OF Quay what the New
York World has so often predicted he
would prove to be if he dared to take
the witness stand in court of justice.
Quay's statement in his own behalf
before the United States Senate was
pooh -poohed and treated as "only
Quay talk" The Democrats and their
co operators in the Republican ranks
said that nothing could satisfy the
people short of libel suit by Quay
and his appearance on the witness
stand. They have been accommodated
ut last and now have the verdicts of
two juries to MUNICH upon for while.
Quay has convicted his vilifiers, who
are now placing their trust in God and
Quay's good nature to intercede for
them.

Thursday afternoon several of Sam

a horse and sleigh and invited Sam TO take
ride. He willingly acquiesced, and i'm
mediately boarded the cutter Everything
went lovely and the occupants of the
sleigh were in Jolly mood, when their
ride was brought to sudden termination.
When on West street, near the Lloyd
street school building, Sam thought the
speed at which they were travelling was too
slow, and immediately applied the why.
whereupon Mr.. Mgjor turned complete

gentleman Of high legal attainments, and

demonstrated his ability as lawyer and is
eminently qualified to occupy seat on the

deserving Of this position than Mr. Koch
