A NeighbOrly View of Quay.

In connection with the announcement
of Senator Quay's presidential candi-
dacy the Elmira Advertiser. ex-Sena-
tor J. Sloat Fassett's paper, pays to
the Beaver statesman a tribute in
which all Pennsylvanians will be inter-
ested. Senator Quay it remarks.
has suffered more from the abuse and
wilful Misrepresentation and the ma
licious falsehoods of the Democratic
press than any other prominent Re-
publican now living. 1t has always
been dangerous for a public man to be
a successful Republican leader and Or
ganizer Zach Chandler was sent to
his grave covered with whatever oppro-
brium mendacious and unscrupulous
Democratic press was able to fasten
upon him: at the same time he led the
Republican party while he was chair
man Of the national committee to sew
eral victories. Senator Quay won the
great campaign of 1888, for If ever a
victory was snatched from the Jaws of
defeat, such was the result in that IA
houS SdHipdISH.
Quay has been pursued by many
enemies. They have lied about him.
they have tortured facts into strange
and ominOus shapes for the purpose of
doing him harm and bringing him to
disaster. But thus far he has risen
above all the attempts Of his enemies
to injure him. His last fight in the
state of Pennsylvania was one of the
most marvellous political struggles ever
known in this country. The genius of
the man showed itself i'm the way he
used his victory. He used it to con-
ciliate those who had opposed him. He
at once entered into more cordial rela-
tiOns with Governor Hastings than
ever before: offered him his support in
case Hastings desired to be a presiden-
tial candidate; allowed Hastings to
utilize for his own benefit and the bene-
fit Of his administration the victory
which Quay had achieved in spite of
Hastings. His greatness of spirit and
his sweetness of disposition added
largely to the number of his friends in
the state Of Pennsylvania.
Senator Quay is a most interesting
and fascinating character. He is known,
as the silent man. He says little but
what he says is always to the point.
He is n great reader and q profound

thinker. NJ. $. Quay Is 4 very great
man. and yet So persistent has been the
abuse of his enemies tina. he Is geper-
ally dismissed by the opposition news
papers with sneer as being merely a
practical machine politician Re is far
more than that. He rs a great politi-
cal general. Few men are so well
versed in the history of this country
and in the history of European nations
as Senator Quay
There is very little doubt that Mr..
Fassetts view of Quay is the view held
by most men who have been active in
politics and who know how easy IL is
for honest purposes to be rnisconstrued
and honorable motives Historically the
hands of malice. 1t Is this admiration
that is to say, the politicians who ac-
cept conditions as they exist and DO
their best to bring good out of them
through the medium OF political organi-
zation, which makes Senator Quay's
strong in its own behalf. AS
for the charges which have been made
against him hitherto, the fact that he
has survived them politically and
gained strength among the people in
spite of them, would seem to indicate
that they would be Intellectual to en-
his defeat should the st. Louis
fall on his shoulders.
In view of the fact that the present
defeat Of Daniel Williams by the votes
of his own countrymen be interpreted
otherwise than as lack of confidence
by Welshmen in the fitness of Welsh
men for the city trasurership? Let
every Republican vote for Williams.

The Niaduc:'s Cost.

The fear that the vluduct would cost
in excess of $l50,OOO overlooks the fact
that options have already been secured
upon all the property proposed to be
bought. and that these leave no doubt
as to the city's ability to construct the
improvement within the limit fixed in
the Oliver ordinance.
The viaduct is worth. to the city. in

payers will exceed present representa-
nicipal bargain that could be secured.

Slain by Its Friends.

Senator Thurston, Of Nebraska, is a
friend Of silver. but not a crank. He
has no wish to injure one section Of the
country at the expense of another sec
tion. nor is he SO welded to the white
metal idol that he exalts 1t above all
other considerations. Speaking upon
this subject at Chicago Wednesday he
said:
The course which the silver senator's

makes that too palpabe and clear to
admit of doubt. 1t stands for a reunt-
ed and recreated nation, based upon

for the American farm, the American
factory, and the prosperity of all the
American people. 1t stands for reci-

sumo but do not produce. 1t stands
for the reciprocity of Blaine; for the
reciprocity of Harrison; for the res
toratiOn and extension of the principle
embodied in the reciprocity provision of
the Republican tariff of 1890.

that will revive the national traditions,

carried us proudly through the earlier
years of the century 1t stands for
such a policy with all foreign nations

justice, impartiality. fairness. good

the Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself
proclaimed it, about which there Is no

untarnished as it's honor. 1t stands for
a commercial policy that will whiten

stands for a system which will give to
the United States the balance of trade
with every competing nation in the
world. 1t is for a fiscal policy opposed
to- debts and deficiencies in time of
