The Business Mems Republican
League of Pennsylvania
Concludes by Challenging Quay to
Become the Machine" Candi-
date for State Treasurer at the
Ensuing Election, and Make the
Issue Direct Before the People.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-THE bus
mess Mems Republican League OF
Pennsylvania, which last fall put forth
special efforts throughout the. State to-
secure the election of anti-Quay candi-
dates for the Legislature, tonight is
sued an address to the people of the
State, 'congratulating them upon the
progress made by the forces of good
government during the past year"
The address says the majority of the
members elected to the General Assem-
bly, for the first time in nearly a score OF
years was anti-Quay and repudiated
Mr.. Quay, 'the head and front of that
corrupt and vicious political system
that SO long has been reproach to the
State"
This anti-Quay body, the address
says exposed and defeated all forms OF
machine conceived corruption and Leg
islative jobbery, and continuing, says:
The appalling chapter of crime, ass
developed by the legislative Investigate
ing committee, showing a far-reaching
conspiracy to corrupt and bride men-
bers of the Legislature to vote for Quay
for United States Senator, should alone
drive from his support every self-re-
specting voter of the State
The principal State officer to be
chosen at the November election Is
State Treasurer, and the Leagues adj
dress, in concluding, takes up this topic
as follows:
THE Business Mems League has
never placed in, the field a candidate for
any office, and desires only that proper
men be nominated.
1T is an organization of Republicans
who wish to prevent party disruption
and disaster, with the conviction that
nothing but heroic action will save the
party from ultimate State and national
disgrace and defeat.
For the purpose of settling this con-
troversy before the Presidential cons
test of 1900, we would make the follow
ing suggestions as a means of teTTni-
mating the strife within the Republican
ranks:
Let Hr. Quay himself become the
machines candidate for State Treas
urer at the ensuing election. Let hir
thus make the issue distinct and direct
leaving the final decision to the people.
If Mr.. Quay. fears to submit his cam
didacy to the people. and in the face of
his reputation by their direct repre-
sentatives insists upon claiming a seat
in the United States Senate through
the unlawful act of subservient Gov
ernor he will intensity and prolong the
contest until he is repudiated by a flu
ture Legislature. and precipitates dis
aster and defeat on the other candi-
dates who bear the stamp of his ma
chine
