From the Atlanta Journal
1t now seems certain that John Wana-
makers second fight against Quay will
fail as signally as did the first. 1t appears
that the majority Of the republicans In
Pennsylvania are not shocked by the ex-
posture of Quay's methods. On the contra
nv. they seem to be highly pleased with
them. The downfall Of Quay has been pre-
dicted in every contest he has had for
years. but he is stiil the boss Of his party
i'm Pennsylvania. and will probably re-
main so as long as he pleases.
