The Way to Beat Quay.

Because when the devil gets sick he is in

ing Quay Republican convention will nominate
the hest State ticket which the machine man
ayers can agree upon. Under of this conf

fent Of seemlness and order at the front door
they hope to smuggle Quay once more into
place through the back door. This is an old
game; but it cannot be successfully played this
year without the direct assistance of the anti
Quay Republicans. The Democratic State ticket
is a coniessediy strong one. 1t stands unequiv-
