ouAY,s ORDEAL.

Senator Quay, OF Pennsylvanda, finds
himself in practically the same posi-
ton that Senator Kenney, OF Delaware,
occupied some months ago. There is
politics In the Quay case just as There
was in the Kennay case, and big poll
tics, at that. For this reason IL w.ll
be exceedingly dlffinult for the state to
SECURE a conviction, and equally diff
curt for Senator Quay to secure an ac-
quittal. The most reasonable supposiL
ton is THAT the jury viii, rs I'M the
Kenney case, Disagree along party or
factional lines The polltlcal enemies
CT Senator Quay are after him, alnd his
long domination Of the poll5ks OF
Pennsylvania has created many OF
them. They are supplying the state
with its evidence and leaving NO stone
unturned to nuin the character and
break down the influence of a main who
has given them so many castlgations
IN the open field. But III HE has rch.
powerful and influential enam.es, ii
must he remembered that he has rich,
powerful and influential Friends, and
that their number largely exceeds that
OF his enemies. Tt is fortunute for
the senator that he stands for some
thing that contains the very essence
OF the pol,tics cf the static, for It rem
ders conviction almost impossible.
Were he convicted. complete reor-
garfzation Of the Republican parity OF
Pennsylvania would be the most nat
rras consequence. The trial, robbed cl
