AutOcracy Gone Daft.

That many Republicans who have
hitherto been rated as friendly to Sen
ator Quay are coming to n true comnre-
hension of the indefensible character
of his present fight on constitutional
government in this state is proved by
the we'll authenticated report of steady
losses from his list of delegates. The
conversion to the administration side
of certain members of the Erie, Indiana
and Allegheny delegations formerly
claimed by the senator, following the
written deliverance of Cambria's three
delegates in behalf of Hastings and
fair play. Is simply a hint of changes
that will come to light within the next
thirty hours, and that will leave Mr..
Quay and his revolutionary adherents
hopelessly in the minority.
The truth is that the sober Judgment
of conservative and responsible Repub-
licanism stands today appalled, before
the desperation which the Quay men
are exhibiting. Never before since the
beginning of American politics has in
dividual ambition gone to the revo-
lutionary extremes or hazarded the
ruinous eXpedients that have lately
come to the front in the conduct of
Senator Quay's canvass. The boldness
and brazenness of the Quay hench-
mems open nullification of party law
and the unbridled license of their
shouted threats against decent and
seemly party precedent betoken condi-
tions to which no honest Republican
will or can yield his assent. The fury
of this insane raid on party self-re-
spect, unless checked and checkmated
by steadfast action, will simply pros
trate the party in the dust of deserved
defeat.
Fortunately, the manhood Of the
party is rapidly asserting itself. in a
way that Quay and Quayism will not
be permitted to misunderstood.

Tho Truth Of tho Matter,

Altoona Tribune: ut ought to be clear
~ understood that Mr.. Quay's contention
that he Is being prosecuted by men who
have been the recipients Of favors at his
hands is not true: that, as q matter of
fact. he has been the aggressor in every
instance. First he sent word from hIs
home in the little town of Beaver, in the
western part Of the state. that ne wanted
one of his henchmen. Senator Penrose.
elected mayor Of Philadelphia. The people
simply wouldn't have It and David Mar
tin, the local leader was wise enough to
Yield to public sentiment, thus preserv-
ing Republican control of the city. That
was the beginning. From that moment
Quay has hated Martini hated him simply
because he preferred to obey his fellow
citizens rather that the Beaver boss.
Later o'D when the apport.onment bills had
been urged by the governor and were In n
fair way to become laws. In obedience to
the constitutional mandate, Senator Quay.
imagining that n new apportIonment
apportionment should fail and an obed..
ent legislature ratified his orders. That
was an assault upon the governor. the FIRST
move In the crushing process. Then
came the third step. one which has con-
vulsed the Republican party and threat
ems disaster. Chairman Glkeson has been
faithful and efficient leader There was
not a whisper against him. Suddenly
Senator Quay In pursuance Of his pur-
pose to crush any man who refused to he
his abject slave. announced that he would
Ike to he chairman, and the fight began
Should damage come to the party Il will

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Tho Encts rs 10 Wyoming

Wilkes Barre Record: "Mr. Watres Is
clearly misinformed as to the condition OF
affairs In Wyoming county. Delegate
Northrop has never insisted upon gong
Republicans of that county On the con-
trary. he has all the time said that he
should as far as he was able represent the
views of the Republicans of his district,
but contends that the action of the Quay
lies Is not the action of the party which
elected him, that II Is simply a conten-
ton on the part Of the BOSSES and that
the people have not spoken In the mat
ter. The truth Is that the convention
which met recently to elect "A delegate was
called by the Quay faction after all the
questions at issue has been given wide pub
licity, that the Quay forces were thor
ouShly stirred mp and urged to turn out to
the caucuses, that the administrationsts
ignored the call and advised their adher-
ents to stay away from the polls, hold
ing that there was no authority or prece-
dent for the call, and that there was no
necessity for re-electing or instructtng
Delegate Northrop. Under these condi-
tlons the caucuses were held and the con-
vention did its work Now IL that con-
vention had any legitimate purpose It
was to ascertain the wishes of a majority
of the Republicans Of that county on the
pending issue. and 1t is fair to presume
that. after all the contention and asser-
tons of the Quay followers, and the thor
ough warming up which the county COM
m.ttee claims there was in every election
precinct of the county for their man, all
who did not attend the caucuses were not
for Quay. In other words, to make good
their assertions, they We're bound to se-
cure a majority Of the party to act with
them. And what Is the result? The coun-
ty polls ordinarily In round numbers about
1000 Republican votes, and from the best
Information obtainable there were voting
at the primaries for the convention less
than 200, or only one-tenth of the party!
Major Bardwell was chosen to represent
this one-tenth, and Delegate Northrop will
represent the other n;ne-tenths OF the
Republicans of Wyoming county In the
state convention. to meet in Harrisburg.
With this showing there Is no reason to
fear that Rufus Northrop will misrepre-
sent the people of his county"

Quay and the Judges.

Philadelphia Bulletin: "When Governor
Hastings made his appointments OF judges
OF the new Superior court In June last the
list was received with general approval In
the state by falr-minded men of all par
ties. Nowhere was n criticism heard from
amy responsible source affecting their
character their ability, and their fitness
for judicial duty. II Is now freely int!-
mated In the Quay organs that three of
the governors appointcey have incurred
the personal displeasure OF the senator.
and that ut least one OF them II not Mi
three. will be marked Ms his victims II
they shall not influence their Delegates in
his interest. This is another OF the
schemes which will be employed In the
desperate efforts to secure n majority OF
tho convention, and It Is the most offcn-
slvc OF them all In It's purpose of making
tho 5udgeships In the tribunal political
commodity In tho traffic for delegates.
Every Republican who has regard for the
Integrity Of the bench ana who would see
the new court, as constituted by the gov
eiinor. maintained without the cloud OF
scandal hanging over II, will set his face
sternly against any attempt to punish
Judges who will not enter into an intrigue
with Mr.. Quay. The threats that Judge
Willard and, possibly Judges Reeder and
Orlady will be turned down cannot bc
executed: but they Illustrate the tactics
Of Quaylsm, and more than ever vindicate
Governor Hastings and his friends In their
movement for freeing the party from the
yoke OF the one-inan power"

Colonel Wrtr,s, Mistake.

Philadelphia Press: Lieutenant
Governor Watres. who is n member of the
state committee, Is reported to have sad
that MIR. Northrop. the regularly elected
delegate from Wyoming, ought to be un-
seated and the Quay claimant enrolled.
This must be n mistake. lf Mr.. Watres
said anything OF the kind II must have
been without n knowledge of the facts and
without consideration No honorable and
fair-minded man who cares anything for
his reputation would undos;and!ngly take
such a position. There are contested
cases with two reasonable sides, but this is
not one OF them. Mr.. Northrop was regu-
larly elected delegate; the election stood
for mo,,ths absolutely unquestioned:
when the present issue appeared Mr..
Northrop declared himself for Hastings:
the Quay people thereupon called new
primaries of their own; the Hastings peo-
pie refused to recognize their validity, and
not one-siNth of the Republicans partc!-
pated. There Is no room for argument
on these facts. To state the case IL to
demonstrate Mr.. NCrthrop's right. There
are politicians without character or stand
ing who may defy reason and trample on
right. Mr.. Watres cannot afford to do II.
He has character to keep and charac-
ter to lose"

The Waller Case.

II 1t to be hoped that rumor speaks
truly when 1t lntimates that the Cleve-
land administration has at last decid-
ed 70 peremptorily demand the release
Of John L. Waller, an American citl-
zen now imprisoned in France. The
facts in connection with Mr.. Walters
arrest form a strange chapter of ag-
gression and cowardice-aggressio on
the part OF France and cowardice on
the part Of the American state depart
ment They are concisely set forth in
a Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Times Herald, from which we herewith
condense them:
Jonn L. Waller. a colored citizen Of
Kansas City, Kan, was In February,
1891, appointed United States consul to
Tamatave, Madagascar. Waller, who Is
represented to be a man Of good educa-
tion and considerable business ability,
had been active in Kansas Republican
politics and his appointment was asked
Of President Harrison by the entire
Kansas delegation in congress. Waller
went to Madagascar, taking his family
with him, and remained there until
late In 1s93 when his successor, Dem
ocrat named Wetter, relieved him.
His life on the island was not an easy
one, and he suffered many indignities,
Of which he was compelled to complain
to his successor. Consul Wetter After
going out Of Office 1t appears Waller de-
cided to remain In Madagascar while
on private business and In pursuance Of
his plans obtained concession, en-
bracing an area Of 225 square miles Of
fine timber lands, from the local gov
ernment. Madagascar is occupied by
the Hovas, a race Of colored people
akin to those on the nearby African
mainland. They are reasonably well
civilized and conduct their own affairs,
although France. by sort OF military
occupation, claims a quasi-ownership.
The governor Of Tamatave, through
whom Waller obtained his concession,
Is native Hova. The evident richness
OF this concession at once attracted the
attention Of the French. According to
the story told by p. II. Bray, q son-in-
law Of Waller, who came home from
Madagascar in May last, the ex-consul's
arrest was merely because he had OBJ
tained this concession. Even while the
negotiations were In progress the
French authorities in Madagascar
showed their jealousy Of the transac-
tion. The size and promised profit of
the concession seemed to annoy them
and from the moment the negotiations
were concluded. according to Waller's
friends. the French began to devise
means for getting him out Of the way.
They sent word b. him that, IL he
wouldtaksa concession elsewhere on the
island they would see that Re got 400
instead Of z25 square miles, although
It was not near s6 rich az the land he
had already obtained. These latter m

TRUE TO HIS CONVICTIONS.
From the Scranton Truth.

Today's issue of the Philadelphia Press
contains an interesting sketch of our es-
teemed townsman, Mr.. William Connell.
from the pen of Colonel J. ID. l.aciar.
The sketch is admirable in every respect,
and is accompanied by n double-column
picture of Mr.. Connell, who is today one
of the most prominent figures in Penn
sylvania politics. The Truth has differed
from Mr.. Coanell in the pending contest.
but this has not in the least altered its
opinion of his sterling manhood and his
rugged honesty of conviction. He stands
for what he believes to be right He stands
the Truth does, and whichever way the
battle goes the splendid fight Mr. Con-
nell has made for Governor Hastings will
remain as one Of the notable features Of
the contest.
