A NATIONAL STANDPOINT.
Chairman OF the Republican Congress
sional Committee SPEAKS OF
Colonel Ouay.

'The sensational arrest Of Senator
Quay and his son. which has caused so
much comment throughout Pennsylva-
nia has attracted not a little attention
in the national capital" writes Smith
j. Fry. the well known Washington
correspondent THE only Democratic
newspaper published here merely says:
1t IS assumed. apparently with good
reason, that il is not Democratic
scheme. bat II is part OF the campaign
which has been carried on by group
OF Pennsylvania Republicans for sew
eral years Ordinarily II would be as
suned that this was sufficient founda-
tion for such a suit. but fair minded
persons. even though strongly opposed
to Quay and Quayism. are apt 10 re-
gard this as political trick
Republicans here bitterly denounce
the action which has been taken. Their
views are crystallized in an authorized
interview with Chairman Babcock. Of

wart Republicans to rally to his sup
port. II the attack had been made
when the alleged crime is said TO have
been committed. or If the charge had
been made after the campaign had
been concluded. or il ii had come out
at any other time whatever. I should
not doubt Senator Quay's honesty, but
I should not look at IL politically.
But. coming at this time. it Is pal
pably a piece OF Democratic and anti
Republican triekery. and is palpably
done for a political purpose. that in my
judgment every Republican in Penn
sylvania should see through IL. I do
not believe the Republicans Of Penn
syivania can be stampeded by such po-
lItical methods. Senator Quay and his
son borrowed money from the bank
and paid II back. That is plainly APP

The same issues are involved in the
great political contests in Pennsylvania
and New York. where the important
matter az stake in each case is the
election of a United States senator. The
fact is that the combined -Republ-

REPUBLICANS APPLY THE REM

In this connection Republicans are
reminded that when they hear the
record Of the last legislature criticised.
they can direct attention to the fact
that the Republican party is bAg and
broad and honest enough TO meet
every exigency that may occur in its
history Recognizing that the party
has suffered by the objectionable work
OF some OF its members. the Republi-
can voters at the primary elections
held but recently, at once proceeded to
apply the proper remedy. In the last
house Of representatives at Harris
burg out of 204 members there were IL
Republicans. and Of that number 10s
have not been renominated OF the So
others. 80 OF these voted for Wana-
maker for senator. and only q for
Penrose. and two voted for other eandi-
dates. 1t will thus be seen that the Re-
publican party has sized up the Occas-
ion, as il always has and always Will
and the people Of Pennsylvania viii
show their confidence in that party when
they go to the polls at the coming
election and stand by it's candidates.
They have had too many experiments
at trying to bring about reform through
the Democracy. That proposition has
proven a failure every time 1t has
been tried. The Democracy Of Penn
syIvania now is in the control OF men
who have no standing in the commun-
fty because OF their close affiliati0n
with the Bryanite national Organiza-
ton. II they by any chance could get
control OF either branch Of the Penn
syIvanfa legislature or have the bll-
ance Of power between Republican fac
tions. their influence for harm would
be terrible.
