ONCE more has Frank Willing Leach-one
of the shrewdest political leaders in the state,
with clear judgment and who possesses I'M
usual powers of organization-sho his
loyalty and friendship towards Senator Quay
and his interests. The Junior Senator has
no more loyal supporter in the state than
Mr.. Leach, and none have performed work
shat has been so fruitful of results in sound
ing the death 6nell of the Combine. Last
year, when the men whose political fort0nes
Senator Quay had made, combined to
destroy him, Mr.. Leach held a $1,000
position in the Sheriff7s office in Phila-
delphia, which lucrative position he re-
signed to devote his time and ability in
assisting Senator Quay in combating the
unhOly alliance, 1t was a splendid eX-
ample of principle and selfsacrifce, when
AIr, Leach declined to continue in one of the
most lucrative offices in Philadelphia because
remaining there might be construed as
sympathy with the Combine. Mr.. Leach
again demonstrated his loyalty to the Junior
Senator when he consented to withdraw
from the contest for state chairman for the
sake Of harmony at the request Of Mr.. Quay.
Mr.. Leach had made an open and honorable
fight; he made his appeal direct to the
representatives Of the people, the delegates ;
be did not rely upon the leaders for his
election, which was a certain result of the
convention had that body been given the
opportunity to pass upon the question. As
we foreshadowed in these columns several
days previous TO the convention, the dele
gates from this county were unanimous in
their choice for Mr.. Leach. Among all the
state leaders, excepting the Junior Senator,
none are held in greater favor and the dele
gates were merely expressing the sentiments
of their constituents in fayoring Mr.. Leach
for state chairman, His administration OF
the state committee which he has practi-
cally directed for many years. has shown a
clear judgment and powers Of organization
equal to all emergencies. When Senator
Quay decides to retire from the chairman
ship, which he will probably do after the st
Louis convention, he can find none NOR,
worthy aud capable as a successor than tn,
present chairman Of the State Executive
Committee Pennsylvania splendid ma
jority of last year would be repeated viii
Leach at the head Of the state committee.

An Early Adjournment Probable.

WASHINGTON, April 25-The fact that
such unusual progress was made with the
sundry civil appropriation bill in the SEN
ate yesterday, and that the Democrats man
ifested no disposition to delay it's consid-
GRAFTON, has greatly encouraged the Re-
publican senators in the belief that an
early adjournment is probable. 1t is un-
derstood that the Democratic leaders have
practically agreed that congress shall close
as soon as the appropriation bills can be
disposed of. They will expect, however,
that opportunity shall be granted for the
consideration of one or two measures, and
among other things will ask that "a vote
shall be taken upon the resolution to seat
Mr. Dupont as a senator from Delaware.
The Democrats think that in case a vote
is taken on this proposition the resolution
will be defeated.
