The Chicago Record Qnd.) says: "Quay

sylvania politics, but persistent fighting on
the part of a determined opposition has
had its effect. Apparently the downfall of

Press dispatches from Washington indi-
cate that Quay will not be seated as SEN
ator. In that event he is not likely to re-
cover the prestige he lost when he failed
of reelection at the hands of the last
Pennsylvania Legislature The opposi-
ton, encouraged by results already achiev-
ed, will be greatly strengthened for fur
Their contests with Quay. The success of
the movement against Quay in PennSyl-
vania. undertaken with little real hope of
accomplishing results, is fun of encourage

where. No boss is invulnerable, no
matter how strongly he may seem to be
intrenched"
