Not Likely to be Seated:

The appointment of ex-Senatof Quay by Governor Stone of Penn sylvania to serve as United States Senator until the next session Of the State Legislature shall have convened and chosen his successor cannot be recognized by the Senate of the United States unless 1t res verses its former decisions. Cover. nor Stone is said to base his author ity for making the appointnlsn: upon Clause 2 ofS1ction 3 of Article 1 ot the Constitution, which reads
 and if vacancies happen by resignation. or otherwise, durinc the recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary appointments un- tli the next meeting of the Logisla- ture, which shall then fill such vacancIcs.
 This has almost uniformly been interpreted by the Senate, not once but many times, to mean that where the Legislature had an op- portunity to elect but failed to do so the Governor has not the power to appoint. The Legislature of Pennsylvania met and had an op- portunity to elect q Senator, hut did not do so; hence a vacancy exists today of its own making, one that occurred while it was in sqs- sion, aud not, as the Constitution of the United States says, during the recess of the Legislature" The Senate haF never in it's entire his tory admitted the right of the Gov ernor of a State to appoint except where Q vacancy occurred while the Legislature was not in session. and why Governor Stono should SC ostentatiously announce his ap- polntment of x-Sena tor Qnay im- mediately after the verdict of the. jury i'll Philadelphia became known to him, except it be for certain political effect, it is difficult to i'm sgine. The next regular session of the Pennsylvania Legislature will convene on January l, 1901.
 A review of the vote ofshe Senatg in the celebrated Mantle case is at this time of particular interest. This is one of tho most recent ex- pressions ofthe Senate of the United States sitting IS court and judS- ing the qualifications of man who had been appointed ny Governor presumably to Glt an existing vacancy.
