cepted Cameron's check ne little
dreamed that he was expected, IL
elected president. to permit Mr.. Cam
eron to control all the federal offices
In Pennsylvania in exchange for the
$1,000. Mr.. Cameron thought he was
buying some hundreds of offices for his

money to Cameron. but the latter re-
fused to accept 1t. perferrlng to take
his revenge by publishing the fact that

We apprehend that Mr.. Cameron will
not gain much by his present posing as

paign fund. The fat that he made
the contribution for his cwn personal
benefit and not for his party, only
places Mr. Cameron in a worse light

That 900 from Cameron.

The Quay organs are making a great
ado about a contribution Of 5000 made
by Senator Cameron to the campaign
fund last year. They allege that be-
cause Chairman GiIkeson accepted this
contribution and used It in the cam
paign he must therefore have been a
Cameron man, and that when he now
declares himself opposed to Cameron
he Is inconsistent. Mr.. Gilkeson admits
having received such contribution
from the senior senator, but denies fav-
ing used It specially in senatorial dis
fricts IN the interest of the senior SEN
ator. There are many wealthy Re-
publlcans in the state who in every i'm
portank political campaign make lib
eral contributions to the party's fund,
but In most cases these contributors
are actuated by unselfish motives. They
contribute Of their means because they
are Republicans and desire to see their
party successful. Senator Cameron's
friends claim that mis- last years contri-
button was not intended to be for the
benefit Of the Republican party, but
was to Be used solely in the interest Of
Senator Cameron. This Is, indeed, a
poor tribute to the RepubHcanism Of
the senior senator.

An IntOIerable Programme.

The general understanding among
Quay men is that II the senator shall
control the state convention. Judges
Willard. Reeier and Orlldy will be
marked for slaughter. The second may
be spared upon the condition that he
will vote for Quay for state chairman.
but the current impression is that the
other two would. under those circum-
stances. have TO go. Threats TO this
effect have been freely made within the
past fortnight. and in a number of in
stances by men of sufficient promin-
ence to justify the suspicion that they
speak by authority. Mr.. Quay will. 1t
is explained redeem his promises by
personally voting for the present
judges: but the convention, If controlled
by him. will be "set up for their de-
feat. In no other way could he gain
the vital point for which he is contend
ing-namely. the mastery OF the state
organization through the suffrage Of
a majority of the candidates.
1t is TO the credit of Judge John Stew
art, of Chambersburg. who has by COM
mon report been named as one OF the
two or three men likely, in a contin-
gency, to be substituted for the gov
ernor's appointees. that he has within
a few days authorized the explicit an
nouncement in Representative Pome-
roy's paper, the Franklin Repository.
that he is not candidate for any place
whatever within the next conventions
gift We dare say he too keenly appre-
ciates the improperly Of the threatened
dragging of the states highest judic-
flry in the dust Of heated convention
strife to wish to be a party to 1t, even
though promised a share of the spoils
But his hlgh-minded resolution, al
though characteristic of the man, would
not shame the Quay following out of
the predicted indecency; for reports are
numerous of unabashed local candi-
dacies In various parts of the state
launched safely in the hope of profitlng
through negotiations on Aug. 20 with
Senator Quay.
Developments during the next week
or ten days will undoubtedly confirm
The Tribune's original contention that
the senator's Endorsement of Judge Will
lard was insincere. 1t is natural for
Mr.. Quay to assert to the contrary;
but these disclaimers are singularly at
variance with the bitter and sometimes
abusive talk of the Quay lieutenants,
both local and throughout the state.
That these subordinates would indulge
In such hazardous comment without
instructions from headquarters is to be
believed only by the credulous; nor was
the senator's own interference in Lack
awanna and LuZerne counties in aid OF
the open enemies Of Willard and Rice
calculated to allay suspicion. Yet not
withstanding these repeated disclosures
OF Senator Quay's obvious intent, We
cannot believe that the intelligent
masses of the Republican party in this
state will ever knowingly assent to a
programme, whatever it's origin, that
contemplates the use OF the judicial
ermine as a weapon for the beating
down Of political independence or az IN
odfous mechanism for the venting of
private spleen.

Will There Be Treachery?

| The Quay faction has not elected
enough delegates up to this time to con-
troll the state convention, yet Quay and
his partisans claim that they have won
their victory and will have a majority
in the convention, even though they
lose everything in Philadelphia. This
claim, II made in sincerity must be
based on the assumption that delegates
elected in the interest Of the Hastings
administration will turn traitor and
support Senator Quay. We do not be-
lieve that there will be any such. II
there should be the hand of every hon
est Republican in the state will be
| against them and ready to place the
brand of traitor upon them. A victory
won by such methods would in the end
be fatal to the men who gained tempor-
airy advantage by them.
The Hastings adherents have fought
| their battle from the beginning with
but one object in view. and that was
the defense Of an honorable, honest and
| fair state administration elected by an
overwhelming majority by the Republi-
can party. The head Of that adminis-
tratlon. Governor Hastings recognized
all factions Of the Republican party In
his appointments and endeavored by all
the means at his command to have the
constitution of the commonwealth
| obeyed and respected. In two respects
the governor offended Senator Quay:
First. he would not permit the senator
to dictate all the appointments to Of
fees in the state government. Second,
he insisted that the legislature should
obey the mandate of the constitution
and pass apportionment bills that
would give the people equal representa-
| ton. This was the sum and substance
Of the governors offending Senator
Quay declared war against the admins
tration and the governor took an appeal
to the people.
Except in the cities OF Philadelphia
and Pittsburg Quay has nearly all the
experienced machine politicians, and
consequently the machinery OF the
party, at his command. He has had
large sums Of money to use. and he has
had thc men who knew how to use II to
the best advantage. Moreover, he has
had the support or nearly the entire
Democratic press of the state and In
many districts the corrupt elements In
the Democratic party have carried dele
gate elections in his interest. But not
withstanding all these advantages It Is
apparent that Senator Quay today de.
pends upon assumed treachery of dele
gates elected in the interest Of Hastings
to carry the state convention.

The Figures.

In another column on this page APP
pears q carefully prepared resume of
the state convention situation as now
presented. The article Is from the
Philadelphia Press. and deals solely
with facts and figures. such as cannot
| be waved aside by the Quay shouters,
but must be met with facts and figures
showing contrary conditions. 1t is
clearly in evidence that in spite Of the
| reverses in several counties last Sat-
urday the administration has a highly
encouraging lead, and cannot possibly
expected slump" Of the Hastings
| forces in Philadelphia. such as is not at
all likely to occur. As will be seen by
reference to the tabular statement. only
two Of the counties In which the dele
gates remain to be chosen are claimed
| by the administration. These are Ly-
| coming and Lehigh; all the others are
| in advance conceded to Quay, al
though It Is not certain he will carry all
Of them. But should Quay carry all
the counties excepting Lycoming he
would still lose the convention unless
he made serious break into the Phila-
| delphia delegation.
All the bluster and boasting Of the
Quay organs and shouters amounts
to nothing in the light of facts and
| figures. The Tribune does not claim
that the battle has been won, but we
repeat what we have said before today
that the battle will be decided in Phila-
delphia. where every inch of ground is
being contested. and where Senator
Quay is confronted by his own former
| lieutenants, whom he so carefully
trained in the peculiar arts and tricks
Of which he Is master. In Philadel-
phia it is Quay methods against Quay,
and there Is where he will meet his
Waterloo. We trust no reader will fail
to carefully ponder the article from
the Press above referred to. 1t shows
what the real situation is.
Governor Henry NJ. Hoyt waited too
| long before throwing off the Quay-Cam-
eron yoke to save his administration
from humiliation and shame, and he
went out of office a broken man who
felt that he had not done his duty either
to himself. to his state or to his party.
General Hastings does not propose to
take such risks. He declared his inde-
pendence at once and the people will
honor him for 1t.

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Tho Posture Of Ouny.

Lancaster Intelligencer: 1.-THE posture
of our Quay. as a reformer, seems funny
to people outside the state as we'll as in 1t.
Our senator enjoys u reputation that is
national; apparently it Is not one as a re-
former. STILL, as the New York Sun says.
there is no prohibition In the constitution
of the state or nation against his appear
Ing us one. 1t no doubt Is odd but there
fore Is the attitude more Interesting, Our
Quay Is nothing If not bold; and never
stops to think about the picturesqueness
of any posture he wants to take. We shall
never be surprised at any somnambulistic
feat he may display in politics, as he Is
Just the man to run to fire in his night
shirt or take a running jump over a quar-
tette Of political elephants: as he under
takes now to do: and does not hesitate to
steal the sprngboard of reform for the
emergency"
