Republicans, and Now Their Represent
atives in the Legislature Turn Him
Down Hard.
Especial Correspondence
Philadelphia, Nov. 22.-Quiclxly fol-
lowing Colonel Quay's formal an
nouncement of his candidacy for re-
election to the United States senate
members of both branches of the legis-
lature in this city, the home of John
Wanamaker, have come out in public
declarations of their intention to vote
for the reelection of the senior sena-
tor. 1t has been a source of keen dis
appointment to the Wanamaker man
ayers to read these hearty expressions
Of good will for Senator Quay, after the
malignant and desperate assaults that
have been made upon him personally
and politically The fact that many
members of the legislature who had
been counted upon to oppose Senator
| Quay have already proclaimed their
purpose to vote for him surprised the
amateur politicians who have been
zation.
Here are few significant expressions
from both senator's and Representatives:
Senator John NJ. Scott, who served in
/ the house for some time, and was hon.
ored with an election to the senate
in the Sixth district, talked interesting
ly on Quay's candidacy.
ut will be pleasure for me-" said
| he, ito vote for Colonel Quay for Uni
| ted States senator His stalwart Re-
publicanism and his superb leadership
must commend him to the members of
his party. Who can forget the gallant
fight made against the Democracy
when, in the bitterest campaign In the
history of this country, he succeeded
in landing the party triumphant in the
Harrison Cleveland contest of 1883? In
this memorable campaign he set to
work from the outset right In the heart
Of the 'enemy's country and 1t was
but a short time before he had Tam
many Hall at bay. When the Tam
manyites saw defeat staring them in
the face they once more attempted
their desperate tactics of counting out
a successful Republican candidate for
president. They found that for once
they had met their match-Quay was
there, and that tells the story.
MKINLEY'S PRAISE.
Senator Quay's service in the Uni
ted States senate for Pennsylvania, for
her industries and her people, are a
matter of history, There could be no
higher tribute paid to him than the no.
Bile words from the lips of President
Mckinley. when aS the doorsteps of his
own home in Canton. O., he addressed
delegation of Pennsylvanians who
called upon him in the last presidential
campaign. Major Mckinley at that
time referred to Colonel Quay's speech
in the senate in opposition to the Will
son bill, which was the longest address
ever made in that body, and which
would, no doubt have lasted many
days longer had not the Democrats
yielded to Senator Quay's demands in
the interest of Pennsylvania's indus
tries. Senator Quay's labors In behalf
Of the commerce of his native and
neighbo-ing states, by his staunch ad-
vocacy in Washington of measures
looking to the improvement of the Del
aware river and harbor and of the
water highways in western Pennsylva-
mia are in line with his watchful con-
Germ of the interests Of his constitu-
ents. In Senator Quay Pennsylvania
has in the United States senate man
Of marvellous influence with Republi-
cans throughout the nation, and es-
pecially with his colleagues in congress.
Any legislation that may be needed by
the commercial and industrial inter-
ests of Pennsylvania will be backed by
Senator Quay thus equipped as could
be no other man that might be sent to
Washington from Pennsylvania.
"The personal qualities of Senator
Quay, his scholarly attainments and
loyalty to his friends commend him to
all who know him.
QUAY'S SOLDIER RECORD.
"This patriotic year. Colonel Quay
was a brave Union soldier with an hon.
orable record in action. and he was
honored by congress with a medal Of
honor for meritorious service while on
the field of battle. Pennsylvania hav-
Ing lust honored another brave soldier,
Colonel William A. Stone, by electing
him with a magnificent majority to the
governorship, it is fitting and proper
that the Keystone state should send
Colonel Quay, a soldier, to the senate
In January next"
'I shall vote for Senator Quay, and
/ have no doubt but that he will be
elected and that his election will meet
with the approval Of the people Of
Pennsylvania"
State Senators George A. Ware, Fran
els A. Osborne and Charles L. Brown,
Of Philadelphia, and Representatives
MacIver, Selby, Adams, Whittingham,
Gransback, Noblitt, Salter, Rebel,
Fahey, Lloyd, Keyser and a dozen
other Philadelphia members of the
house have within the last few days
come out publicly in favor of the re-
election of Senator Quay, and declared
their intention to vote for him.
And so it is, the feeling among Re-
publicans in favor of Senator Quay's
reelection is such that no tactics to
which his opponents may resort, nor
the expenditure of any amount of
money, can defeat him.
