In Quay's State.

u LTHoUGH they know in their
n hearts that Mr.. Quay is a dan
gerous political crook, thousands
OF Pennsylvania republicans with whom
rested the issue In tina state conclud-
ed to be for their party right or wrong
and to vote for the Quay candidates. in
the face of their positive knowledge
that Quay would use these candidates
for the furtherance Of his own corrupt
schemes.
Quay's candidate for governor was
successful, and the republicans have
a good majority on joint ballot in the
legislature. To be sure. Quay's cleo
ton to the senate is not assured. as
the anti-Quay republicans. represented
in the Magee faction and the Martin
faction. must be won e in order to
carry Quay safely through. The re-
publican ticket was greatly recruited
during the closing week of the am
testimony of the republican press in
Philadelphia. and It is the admission
made by the opposition. Swallow. the
famous prohibition candidate. bid fair.
early in the campaign. to be a formid-
able factor; IL is admitted h a his
campaign went TO pieces at least ten
days before election: and the repub-
licans got good Of it.
Meanwhile. in the makeup OF the
Pennsylvania Legislature the democrats
show marked gains. In the present
legislature they have six senators; they
will have thirteen in the new legisla-
ture. In the present house there are
thirty-two democrats; in the lei
house the number OF democrats will
be seventy-six-the number OF demo-
cratic members I'm both houses was
more than doubled as the result Of last
Tuesdays election. BY combining with
the f~usionists the democrats can pre-
vent the passage of any measure over
the governors veto.
The fact remains. however. that
many Of the Pennsylvanians who pro
fess to be democrats ave not yet come
within the actual democratic lines.
According to figures that seem to be
trustworthy there must have been
about seventy thousand protesting
democrats in Pennsylvania who did
not vote at the recent election. These
people pretend to be democrats. yet
they refuse to STAN on the essential
plank in the platform OF the democ
racy of the nation.

great provision dealing business. A dozen
years ago. before he was well known. HI
was a passenger or an East Indian
steamer bound for Ceylon. While in the
Red Sea the boat was disabled, and II
became necessary to throw overheard part
OF her cargo. Upton was interested spec
tator of the preparations for tightening
the ship. He suddenly bolted the scene
and by a e5 decker with the chief engineer
secured a stencil, a paint brush and a pot
OF black paint.

and other lands the natives saw that
legend. Subsequently the passengers OF
the injured steamer were compelled to
abandon II and take to small boats. on
reaching land Sir Thomas was the first
to make "A cable office and wire the de-
struction of the boat and safety of the
travellers to London. The message was

 Anniston Aug. S-The democratic con- vention of the Fourth Congressional dis trct meets tomorrow at Talladega Springs.
 The Fourth district is composed of the counties of Calhoun, Cleburne, Talladega, Shelby, Chiffon anr Dallas and the conven- ton promises to be a lengthy one, judging both from precedent and conditions exist ing now.
