The question of Quay's right to q
seat in the United States Senate un-
der the appointment of Governor
Stone was argued at Washington On
Friday before the committee on Priv
ileges and Elections Quay's friends
argued that state has right to Q
full representation in the United
States Senate at all times and that q

They contend that the vacancy OF
Quay's seat did not take place dur
ing a recess of the Legislature OF
Pennsylvania. They agree that If
Quay's seat had been made vacant
during recess of the Legislature.
then Governor Stones appointment
could not have been properly ques-

vacancy took place during the time
of the sitting of the Legislature and
he having been a candidate for re-
election Was not elected. The vacan
cy was caused by the Legislyture's
failure to elect during its sitting and
therefore the vacancy did not take
place during the recess of the Leg
islature, but while it was in session
aud therefore Governor Stones ap-
pointment is void. The contention
is that under such state of affairs
the only lawful duty of the Governor
is to call an extra session to elect q
Senator.
