Quotes From Lincoln.

81 can turn to the words of Abraham
Lincoln and repeat them as a fit eulogy
of the declaration of independence, be-
cause I cannot conceive of words that
are more beautiful or more true. He
said-how wisely he guessed-that the
time might come when some man or
party or interest might set UP the doc
trine that only rich men or only white
men or only Anglo-Saxo white men
are entitled to those privileges-those
blessings enumerated in this chart of
our liberty. And L read these SEN
fences to you tonight, not that you
shall be compelled to accept the declar-
alton of independence, but that you
may be compelled to repudiate both
Lincoln and Jefferson when You leave
the declaration of independence. Oong
and continued applause.)
Jefferson carved from the noun
tains of eternal truth the four great
pillars upon which all free government
must rest; that men are created equal;
that they are endowed with inalienable
rights; that governments are insti
tuted among men to secure and to pre-
serve those rights, and the govern
ments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed.
Il sometimes hear people complain
because business is disturbed by the
is a way to escape it; let us have a
monarchy, and then there will be no
disturbance of any kind of business; we
can simply serve and be happy. But
history has shown that where one or a
few think for all the people and act
for all the people, they also enjoy for
all the people, and if we would enjoy
the rights of life and liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. our life must be
a constant warfare against wrong.
Dangers That Threaten Us.
Jefferson never uttered a truer say
ing than when he declared that con-
idence is the parent of despotism, and
that free government exists in jeal-
ousy, and not in confidence. If you
elect a public servant and go to sleep,
the danger is that he may become more
Watchful of his own interests than of
yours, and when l hear people COM
plain that our government is a failure,
l generally find them proposing the
wrong remedy. They say our govern
ment is a failure because the people
cannot be trusted. I reply that insofar
as our government has been disap-
pointing, it is because the people have
not had a sufficient share in their own
that the faults of our
are not in the people, but
in those who misrepresent the virtue.
the intelligence and the wishes of the
people" Great applause.)
When Mr.. Bryan closed there was
mighty demonstration. Men and wo-
men made frantic efforts to shake him
by the hand and it required the serv-
ices of several policemen to rescue the
speaker and escort him to one of the
reception-rooms. He remained there
until the crowd had largely dispersed.
and then was driven To the Hotel
tholdi.
AS he emerged into the street and
got into his carriage he was greeted
again by cheers, several hundred peo-
pie waiting to get a farewell glimpse
Of him.

IS SHORT A SENATOR
Pennsylvania legislature Couldn't
Break the Deadlock.
ADJOURNS SINE DIE TODAY
NO CHOICE ON THE LAST BALLOT
TAKEN YESTERDAY.
Long and Bitter Struggle That Has
Been Carried On Since January
17-Fight Has Been Distinctly On
Quay and Anti-Quay Lines-The
Next Contest.

Harrisburg, Pa, April 19.-The great
battle for United States senator ended
today without an election, and unless
Governor Stone calls an extra session,
at which there should be an election,
Pennsylvania will have only one rep
resentative in the United States senate
during the next two years. After the
taking Of the ballot in joint convention
a motion was offered by Mr. Fow
Dem.) of Philadelphia and adopted,
that a vote of thanks be rendered the
officers. and that the convention adj
journ sine die.
The Legislature will adjourn finally at
noon tomorrow, and under the law the
joint convention must assemble at that
hour. Hence today's motion to adjourn
finally.
There was no change in today's vot-
ing, the friends of ex-senator Quay
standing by him and the anti-Quay Re
publicans by B. F. Jones of Pittsburg,
while the Democrats cast their vote for
George A. jerks, who has been their
candidate since the deadlock began.
Long and Fierce Contest.
The senatorial contest began on Jan.
II. On that day Senator Quay received
his highest vote, 112 senators and rep
resentatives casting their ballots for
him. This was thirteen less than the
number necessary to a choice, and he
never came nearer an election during
the more than three months of the
struggle. No such bitter political con-
test was probably ever before waged
in this country. The fight has been dis
tinctly on Quay and anti-Quay lines,
and both sides had numerous represen-
tatives here at all times keeping a close
watch on the members and on each
other
Both sides promise that the contest
for supremacy will be carried into every
county in the state and waged inces-
sanity until final supremacy is as
sured. The next fight will be on the
Craftsmanship of the state committee.
After that will come the battle for the
control of the state convention which
will nominate a candidate for state
treasurer.
The seventy-ninth ballot, the last to
be taken for United States senator at
the present session of the Legislature,
resulted: Quay Rep.). SO; jerks
(Dem.), SO; Jones (Rep.), SO; total vote,
247; necessary to choice, 1874; paired or
not voting, 6.
