THE CITIZEN.
SCHEMING FOR AN
EXTRA SESSION.

were between the devil and the deep
! sea they are al the present time. Quay
| has discovered that the United States
senate will not admit him on the fake
| and foolish appointment of Governor
! Stone. The recent canvas of the sen
ate by the New York Herald shows
| Quay to be eleven votes short Of
enough TO seat him.
There are two eXpedients left TO the
boss. One is to have his governor call
| a special session Of the legislature and
try again to secure an election, the
other is to wait until next year and
try to elect enough members Of the leg
islature to return the boss to Washing
ton. The latter game is a difficult one,
while the former is perpleXing. Even
Quays machine leaders do not know
where they stand, and the anti-Quay-
ties are making fools of them every
week. The Quayites are having a sys-
tematic canvass made of the state to
find out how many OF the Insurgents
and Democrats viii likely go back on
their pledges If they can get enough
recalcitrants and Democrats to assist
the governor viii call special session,
and then Quay viii again try TO be
elected

In discussing this subject the phila-

"As for the insurgents, they.zWould
welcome an extra session. Theft lead

ports to the contrary. every one of
their followers would stand by the
