THE SENATORSHIP.

Most assuredly one hundred and
thirteen Republicans should not sur
render to ne.-Bloomsburg Re-
publican.
Press dispatches state that Senator
William Finn has again vehemently
declared that Senator Quay's re-elec-
ton is an impossibility which reminds
US of the people who whistle loudest
when they get in the woods-Blairs-
vile Courier.
Governor Stones decisive declara-
ton in faver of regular Republican
nominees, does not meet with the ap-
probation of gentlemen who are try
ing to wreck the Republican party, but
it is entirely satisfactory to stalwart
Republicans -Shamokin Herald.
The Pennsylvania "Aunties' are
criticising Governor Stone because he
has declared in favor OF the election of
Senator Quay. They doubtless ex-
pected Governor Stone to turn in and
help those who did their best to defeat
him and elect a Democrat for Governor.
They will learn pretty soon that Gov.
Stone isn't that sort of a man. .-Craw-
ford Journal.
The break in the ranks cannot be far
off, or, as Senator Durham says, is in
the near future"-when that time
comes who can doubt that Senator
Quay will be reelected? There are
scores of Democrats who will prefer
him to any other Republican, for he
has the reputation of being fair man
and stands high in the estimation of the
political leaders of the Nation irrespec-
tive of party. Beaver Argus.
John Wanamaker's pernicious ac-
tivity at Harrisburg is significant in
view of the fact that he sis not candi-
date" at this time. Evidently "Honest
john" ''who never told a lie in his
life" is candidate for anything he
can lay hands on, and if he can't get
something he is bound to smash the
principle of majority rule. There is no
danger of his election -Williamsport
Gazette and Bulletin.
The reasons are plain why Quay
should be invincible. His election was
practically ordered by the people, not
only through their great majority for
Governor Stone, with Quay as the
issue, but because the people by their
nomination and election instructed
more than two-thirds Of all the Repub-
lican Senators and members to support
him. To this verdict all Republicans
can bow in honor-Media American.
The vote this week shows no change
from that of the first few days, save
that the absence of members, who are
paired, reduces the number of votes
cast All sides profess confidence,
with Quay as far in the lead as ever.
1t is fact that the boasts of the anti
Quay people that there would be
breaks in the Quay column have not
been realized, thus showing the pre-
dictions to have been conjectural.-
Easton Free Press.
The opposition to Senator Quay is
cemented by the bonds of mutual hate
and it has a dozen men who aspire to
reap the fruits of it. The fact that
Congressman Stone, of Warren, is
being voted for by few friends is no
indication that he is a candidate, but is
simply a Wanamaker idea carried out
to deceive Republicans not posted.
The head, middle and tail of the oppos-
ition to Senator Quay is John Wana.
maker and his bargain-counter organs,
and no Republican should be deceived.
Warren Mail.
Without majority rule the Republic
would founder upon the rocks, for
minority rule is revolutionary.
The danger of Wanamakerism is
already apparent. Claiming to be Re-
publican, it long ago rebelled against
Republicanism. IL entered into the
deal to elect Democrats to the Legisla-
ture. The i'll feeling it caused was
responsible for the defeat of Charles
W. Stone and several other Republican
Congressman.
Wanamakerism is nothing more than
an overwhelming desire to promote
