Lancaster County Heard From.

Lancaster County Heard From.
At a meeting of Republicans held IN
Lancaster last week, the following reso-
lutions, prepared by a committee were
adopted unanimously:
We. members of the Republican party,
opposed to the reelection of Hon. Nj. ..
Ouav To the United States Senate, III con-
ference assembled, adopted unanimously
the following resolutions as the expression
of the individual opinions and We believe
IL TO be the sentiment of the majority OF
the people of Lancaster county.
WHEREAS, Senator Matthew Stanley
Ouav has. by his constant absence from
the Senate Chamber neglected the interests
of the people at large. aud his constituents
in this State particularly. and
WHEREAS, While at his post OF duty ne
has not shown that ability, courage ano
moral purpose which should represent
great Commonwealth like Pennsylvania,
AID
WHEREAS, He has used the powers OF
his position in building up an ofnclal
machine, obedient to his orders ana
subservient to his will and through when
be has been able to dictate State tickets
which have wakened the party organization
increased the evils of spolls system, lower
ed the tone of official life, and fastened the
baneful influences of a selfish ofilce-h mold
ing class upon every community; and
WHEREAS, By his course on the elections
bill and vote on the silver question he mas
not met the demands of the Repuohcan
party and the true interests OF our business
and commercial life; and
WHEREAS, We have hundreds of Repub-
licans in the State, who, by ability and
pure character, are an honor to the Com
mo- wealth and who, on the floor OF the
Senate, would bring back the Senatorial
glory which was our pride in the past,
therefore
Resolved. That Matthew Stanley Quay,
under all the circumstances considered,
personal and political, ought no longer NIL
a position 50 responsible and honorable as
the Federal Senatorship.
Resolved That it is our duty as earnest
Republicans and faithful American citizens
to use all honorable means to bring ABOUT
the defeat and choose some one more intent
upon the needs of the people, more ailve
to the demands of the times and with the
ability and moral purpose to give US
nobler and true idea of party lite than
mere scramble for office, or division OF
public spoils for selfish and not puDhc
good.
Resolved, That as the Republican
County Committee has submitted the
choice for Senator to the popular vote, we
will not weaken or scatter our strength oy
voting for several candidates, but con-
centrate them upon one man.
Resolved. That as the Hon. Marriott
Brosius as a candidate for Congress and
will not permit his name to be used as
candidate for the Senstorship, and there
TOR, having no home candidate, we, as
body. support Hon. John Dalzell and urge
all other Republicans to do likewise.
WHAT a vast difference there is between
the recent candidacy Of John Sherman, OF
Ohio, for United States Senator and the
present candidacy of NJ. S. Quay, in this
State for the same office. During Sier-
mans candidacy, although he had served
thirty years in the Senate, there was
general demand for his return to the
Senate throughout the entire Union
During his career as public man he mas
been leader of leaders among Republ-
cans and was returned to the Senate again
and again because Of his abilities as
statesman, and not as a consideration for
the federal and State patronage distributed
by him. In Mr. Quay's candidacy there Is
demand, not only in Pennsylvania, but
through the entire country, for his re-
moval. AS Senator he has made great
failure and the Republicans throughout
the entire country are greatly grieved to
see the banner Republican State so poorly |
represented in the Senate, aad that ac-
for the general demand for his re-
mova. Why can't Pcnnsy ylvania elect
statesman for such an important Office =
Press.
UNDER the Act of 1891, Primary Election
boards must take an oath aud we notice |
that Hon. Jas S. Rntan, who is well |
known in this county, and who is now a
candidate for Assembly In Allegheny
county, has caused the arrest Of the men-
bers Of an election board for their alleged
during the late election for
delegates.
