Senator Finn and Bayard Henry went
into the county and addressed the citi-
Gems ON the question Of the hour. Bands
played and hot time was promised, but
the speakers received cold reception at
the several places they appeared, and
there was frost when Senator Finn an
nounced from the platform in language
well understood by his audience that his
purpose In transforming the state was to
capture Focht delegates to control the
state convention and elect himself chair
man Of the Republican state committee.
Finn is looked upon as a more consum-

Harrisburg, March 1.-THE departure
Of Senator Quay last week for u few
days rest in the south was made the oc.
casion for lot Of talk ON the part Of
the Republican insurgents to the effect
that he would shortly retire from the
contest for the United States senator
ship. Like all Of these reports emanat-
ing from the Wanamaker press bureau.
the story was quickly disposed of and its
circulation had directly the opposite ef-
feet than that which its authors in
tended. After the great strain upon q
man Of his years which the work of the
last hours Of congress occasioned. it WAS
to be expected that Colonel Quay should
require q brief period for recuperation.
His lungs are not strong at the best,
and he concluded to take his customary
trip south upon the adjournment Of the
senate. All the reports OF the condition
Of his canvass received from his friends
here assured him that he need have no
concern about going away for a few
days, and he accepted their assurances
and advice Before boarding the train
with his family Senator Quay tele
graphcd to each OF the no Republican
members OF the legislature who have
been voting for him the following mes
sage:
Il leave for the south today for rest
Of ten days. Upon my return l will join
my friends at Harrisburg, remaining in
close touch with them until the end of
the senatorial contest. which | believe
will terminate successfully. Before leav-
ing l cannot refrain from thanking you
and your colleagues for the magnificent
support have received lOr the past two
months. (Signed) Nj. S. QUAY"
PENROSE TO THE STALwARTS.
Upon the same day, the Sth inst,
Senator Penrose arrived here to assist
the supporters Of the Beaver statesman
In looking after matters in his absence
A meeting of the gallant band Of stall
warts who have steadfastly adhered to
the nominee OF the Republican caucus
was called. and Senator Penrose and
others made speeches, which met with
enthusiastic responses The distinguish
ed young Phila delphian stirred the forces
OF the regulars with vigorous and ag
gressive speech. and the cheers with
which his sturdy Republican sentiments
were received gave unmistakalbe evi- !
dence of the feeling that exists among
the members of the senate and house |
who have been standing loyalty by their
party's candidate for the United States
senatorship.
Over y hundred loyal supporters OF !
Colonel Quay were present.
The meeting was held in the supreme |
court room, and Republican State Chair
man Elkin presided. In opening the
meeting he congratulated those present /
upon their loyalty to the Republican
party. He said:

pulp and Pluck.

This is an age of heroic Christianity.
There is more pulp and pluck in the
average Christian professor when self
denial is required. The men and WON.
en- who not only rejoice in doing their
duty for Christ. but even rejoice in
overcoming uncomfortable obstacles
in the doing of it are quite too scarce.
The piety that is most needed is a
piety that will stand a pinch; a piety
that would rather eat an honest crust
than fare sumptuously on fraud; a
piety that works up stream against
currents; piety that sets its face like
flint in the straight. narrow road of
righteousness. We need more of the
Christianity that steadily sets its face
toward Christ's word and holy will.
An ungodly world will look at such
Christly living as at the sun in its
strength" God loves to look at those
who carry Jesus in their faces. OF
such is the kingdom of heaven Rev.
