Special to the REcoRD-UN1oS.

11LADELHdlAs L en-. Ian address,
will be issued tomorrow by the Execu-
tive Committee of the Pennsylvania Re-
publican Association, an organization
whose object is to prevent Quay's re-elec-
ton to the United States Senate. The adj
dress substantially opposes him because
he has forced unpopular nominations and
platforms which brought defeat to the
party; because he instigated or coun-
tenanced the defeat of the party's candi-
dates to achieve some personal end; be-
cause he aided in defeating Legislation to
secure free ballot and a fair count in the
South, to the enactment of which the Re-
publican party was pledged; because he
has, by words and actions, discredited
the pledged policy of his party in behalf
Of genuine, efficient and business-like
reform of the civil service, and compelled
otfice-holders to devote their time and
money to political work in his behalf;
because of his attempts to enbarrass the
present Administration, due to the fact
that the Federal offices in this
State We're not placed entirely at
his disposal; because he repeatedly
opposed the nomination of James q.
Blaine for the Presidency, when the over
Whelmlng sentiment of the Republican
voters Of the State were favorable to
Blaine's selection; because, so long as he
dared, he opposed every change OF party
rules calculated to increase the power of
voters; because he has had primaries and
conventions called long before any neces-
sity of so doing in order to forestall the
growing sentiment against him: because
! he insisted that no recognition be ac-
corded any element of the party not
willing to act with or be subservient to
h 1ol,1 H.
voters have right to choose their
United States Senators, instead of their
being selected by office-holders without
regard to character, ability or fitness.
The purpose of the organization is de-
clared to be to carry on a contest strictly
within party lines, and secure the cleo
ton of a majority of the Republican
members of the next Legislature who
will oppose the reelection Of Quay.
GOOD WORD FOR BLAINE.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Commercial
A dUertiSer Independent, with Demo-
cratic leanings) says editorially: In the
present distracted condition of the New
York Democracy, it is manifest Demo-
cratic nomination from this State is either
an impossibility or the preparation for
defeat. The State can be carried against
any Western Democrat and certainly bv
one Republican If not by another. Blaine,
II nominated, can as surely win the
electoral votes of New York this wear as
he can count on those of his own State,
The logic Of the situation declares for him.
in the relation of party policy equally
with that of popular preference. AS a
guide and mainstay of the present Adj
ministration he has saved it from the
commission OF a colossal blJtnder curb
ing ambition and petulance with his
strong hand, and retrieving the national
dignity at a moment when it seemed
hn,o ,1xv1 loo
President of the United States, his letter
will have no bearing on that fact. Physi-
cally, we believe Blaine is fully able to
| bear the strain of another campaign and
discharge the duties of the Presidency.
Whether he is willing or not is another
question. Should any accident befall
Blaine, should his health prove UNEQUAL
to the strain, there is still material for
vigorous campaign in the party. Next to
Blaine in the personal hold upon the peo-
pie, and the inspiration of good name
and fiawless political record, is Robert L.
Lincoln.
