the House bill, among them the amaga-

This is a recognition Of the fact demon

engineers are 10 less entitled 20 rank as

DEMOCRATS LIKE QUAY.

The Hon. Joseph c. Sibley, Of Pennsyl-
| vania. has appeared at Harrisburg and
given out for publication a series Of let
| tiers from Democratic Senators and Rep
resentatives advising the reelection Of
Senator Quay in case it is impossible 20
elect a Democrat as his successor These
letters. we learn, "haye caused the OBJ
ponents Of Mr.. Quay grave apprehension,
and a break to the Beaver statesman
may occur at any time, especially since
the Quay trial was postponed"
Among those who have furnished let
ters for this purpose are Senator Jones.
Of Arkansas, who is also chairman Of
the National Democratic Committee; SEN
ator Vest OF Missouri; Congressman Liv-
ingston, Of Georgia; ex-senator Black
burn. of Kentucky and Senators Morgan
Of Alabama, Daniel Of Virginia, Mitchell
Of Wisconsin. Faulkner Of West Virginia,
Allen Of Nebraska. Gray Of Delaware,
and Tillman Of South Carolina.
Senator Lindsay, Of Kentucky, and Con-
gresham Bailey, of Texas, ARE also
quoted as fayoring this plan 10 break the
deadlock"
Senator Jones says that II a Republl-
can must be elected he would prefer 10
see Quay have the seat, because he has
always been frank and has always kept
faith, and in great struggles. of which
You know, he stood for the best prnci-
pies Of government"
Senator Daniel has this to say:
OF course, L would, like all Democrats,
like TO see a Democrat elected senator.
and if this could be effected IL would be
hailed with rejoicing. Senator Quay has
acted in the spirit Of broad Amercanism.
and has shown the most civil and gem
erous disposition TO his Democratic coll
leagues. TO such degree that they feel, as
! believe. strong sympathy for him, and
l certainly do.
GIVE us a Democrat if YOU can; If not
give us Quay" says Mr.. Faulkner
Mr.. Tillman thinks if it is impossible
to elect a Democrat "a perfectly defen-
sible policy would make the election Of
Mr.. Quay best for our party"
All this quite takes our breath away.
We were not prepared for such a move
ment. it must be that the character Of
Mr.. Quay is not properly understood by
the public, or that the political situation
in Pennsylvania is very peculiar indeed,
if it IS expected that the Wananaker I'm
DEPENDENT Republicans Will now con-
tinue their fight in that State. However,
IT may be that Messrs. Jones, Vest,
Daniel, Faulkner. Tillman, and the others
have an insight into the situation which
is not possessed by the people generally.
