COMMENT OF THE PRESS,
Ouay II Camsrou's Savior.

Philadelphia Bulletin: "It may be en-
tirely true that MIR. Quay II not now
booming Cameron either for the senate
or the presidency: In fact. Mr.. Quay 10
concerned chiefly In booming himself. and
finds his hands full enough In undertaking
that uphill Job. But there Ia no intelli-
gent Republican who does not understand
that whatever future Cameron or Gamer
onism may have In Pennsylvania poll
the Quay campaign. Quay is the one and
only strong prop that now sustains the
house Of Cameron. and the house itself
will fall when that prop 10 taken away
from IT,"
Quay Not Rsforner.
Plttsburg Dispatch: IAN alliance be.
tween Senator Quay and the people. on the
platform OF an elevation Of the character
Of legislation; franchises regulated to Sc
cure the cheapness of competition; snakes
and Jobs killed in the legislature as soon
as they make their appearance; econom-
ical government and lowered taxes; a care
fully organized school system, free from
politics. and the entire plan of government
based on the popular interests alone,
would involve such benefits to the public
that 1t Is superfiuous to enlarge upon
u
regarded as ideal In the system Of poll
tics"
why ShOuld lle Want It7
Philadelphia Press: mot a pretence OF a
valid reason has been given by Senator
Quay or his friends why ne should seek
the chairmanship Of the state committee
with 200, 900 majority the state is not in
doubt. His abilities as an organizer are
not needed In that place. Why should he
want It? Not he or any friend has ven-
tured to answer. We challenge the pro-
duction OF an answer from any OF them
The explanation Of this failure is that
there Is no answer which they can openly
give"
Don't Comfort the Enemy.
Lansford Leader: 1.-THE duty of Repub-
licans in this state Is to stand by the Re-
publican administration. Nothing would
please the Democratic party In Pennsyl-
vania more than to see the party which
elected Governor Hastings to the govern
orship by such an overwhelming major
ity turn him down ere eight months Of
his official term had passed."
Where II Must Stop.
Easton Free Press: 1.-THE Republican
hosts in this state will crush beyond rec
ognition any actual or self-styled leader
of either faction who dares lift his hand In
revolt or encourage his supporters SO to
do. The Republican party OF this state
wants this controversy to stop In the state
convention and woe betide him who drags
1t beyond"
Quay Organs MisinfOrmation.
Huntingdon Journal: 1.-THE week closed
with Indications favorable to Quay's side
In his battle for supremacy. The sena-
tor wins in the Lackawanna First dis
trict, which he conceded to the opposition,
and while the Second instructs for Judge
Willard and Hastings, the instructions are
also for Quay for state chairman-all he
claimed"
Pertinent Questions.
Doylestown Republican: "During eight
years Of the past twelve a Democrat has
been governor Of this state. Why? Quay
was in control Of the party machinery
right along. Is that good leadership? Is
that why there Is q desire to give him
absolute control OF the party organiza-
ton now?"
The General Average.
Philadelphia Bulletin: Attorney Gen.
eral Mccormick says that 95 per cent. Of
the Republicans Of Lycoming county are
opposed to Cameron. There Ia no doubt
that the same percentage prevails in al
most every other county Of the state on
that ISSUE"

Wilkes Barre Times: 'Tf Luxerne coun-
ty does as we'll as Lackawanna for Gov
ernor Hastings the battle Of the delegates
at Harrisburg will loCk like Waterloo
for Messrs. Quay, Cameron & Co."
Delegates Arc What Count.
Wilkes-Barre Record: "Talk Is cheap,
but 1t Is delegates that count The Quay
organs are doing q good deal of talking
just now. but the Hastings people arc
gobbling UP the primaries"
Quay Forces People to Fight Him.
Hazleton Sentinel: 80 Quay has threat
ened the, congressman that he would de-
feat all their bills unless they turn in for
him. The congressman who goes with
Quay now is q coward"

Wilkes-Barre Times: ITS a long road
