with their city followers east and west to
accomplish their object Of downing Quay.
What thcnS
Quay VIII bo the Leader.
Well, Senator Quay will be chairman
Of the executive committee Of the Repub-
lican national committee in 1895. No
matter whom the Republicans may nom.
mate for President, Quay will bo called to
party leadership. 1t may be deemed OK
pedieDt when the timo comes for Quay 30
put forward Clarlson or Manlcy as the
ostensible leader; but IL is a matter of fact
that the majority of the leaders OF the Re.
publican national committee have already
agreed that Quay shall direct the national
campaign Now, suppose that Qu6y Is
turned down In PennsylvaniE, will ,thnt
affect the dissemination of the Republican
national committeef NOT In ho'fery
shghtest degree. Clarkson, Manley Car
tet, Evans, Payne and all promine,t Re
publican workers know Quay's worth In
politics, and they will require his services,
no matter whether he is temporarily sus-
pended from power In Pennsylvania or
not.
Now, let all good Republicans assume
that they win elect the next president, as
they hope TO do. Where will Hastings,
Martin, Magec and all the other Quay
downers be during the Republican admin.
istrationf Let It bo remembered that
Quay's term will not expigi in the senate
until March 4, 1899, two years inter the in
suguration Of the next president. Let 10
also be remembered that II there is Re
publican administration Quay will dis.
pepse tho patronage Of Pennsylvania dur
inRthose two years. 1t viii be done un.
der his direction and by his dictation
Gentlemen OF the Republican party who
have not been looking very far beyond
their noses may as well stop and calculate
how much show for Office those leaders
will have who are now whetting knives on
their shoe soles for the purpose of taking
the political life Of Quay. Let 1t also be
remembered that the bulk Of all federal
patronage Is usually dispensed and dis.
posed Of during the first two years of an
administration. Thorc will be marshal
ships, collectorships, with deputies galore,
but they will not DO given to anti Quay
Republicans. There are numerous valu.
able postoffices. but anti.Quay men will
not get them.
Anti-Quay Men Need Not Apply.
There are ambassadors and ministers
and consuls to be appointed, but no anti.
Quay man need apply. We all know that
Qusy stands by his friends, and he is not
likely to forget those who stand by him In
this emergency. We also know that his
memory Of his enemies Is very acute, and,
therefore, those who are just now ready
to tear and rcnd him would do well
70 look just a little way into the fu.
ture and be sure that 1t is to their In.
terest to handle the hot chestnuts which
David and Chris are roasting at this
time, From the above statoment Il Is fair
70 assume that In the event OF Republican
,iational success next year IL will be we'll
90 have remained loyal to Quay. Self
,ntcrest would dictate that line OF policy
lAt any rate, whether Quay wins or loses
the present fight, each local Repub-
lean politician would be wise to go into
rhe fight with broad view OF the situa-
lon as TO the sRect Of tho result upon
himself. SD II
