Quny,s Alleged Hope.

The boast of Senator Quay-under in
dictment for crime-that he would poii
Republican votes enough for his re-eiec-
ton. proved to be unfounded. He was
short sixteen when the first test came.
That he will be able to draw that number
or any material part of it from the Repub-
licans who refused to go into the caucus,
is confidently denied by those who have
labored for his defeat. Partly for personal
reasons and in some cases as matter OF
conscience or regard for the future of the
Republican party, they have resisted all
the influence the long triumphant boss
could bring to bear on them. Every pos
sible effort was made before vote was
hope in that direction.
But now comes the startling assertion
of his friends that he will draw from the
Democratic ranks enough TO gain his end.
If this is a mere pretense, it is difficult TO
find any reason for it. Nothing could be
gained by making a claim that must be
disproved if it is fraudulent There are
intelligent politicians who believe the
thing is possible There is specific men
pected 10 break away from the caucus au-
thority, to scatter their votes here and
there. in order to afford an opportunity
fer some to go TO Quay.
In almost any other State than Penn
sylvania or New York this would be con-
sidered impossible; but it has been~demon
strated that in New York when either
Senator Platt or Mr.. Croker is threatened
with the defeat of a measure, the other
makes a loan of the few votes required.
The decentralization of Pennsylvania poll
tics by Quayism has, no doubt, extended
into the Democratic lines to some extent
but still it Will be shock to the whole
country if the virtuous efforts to break
down the power of an unscrupulous boss
should be frustrated by Democratic votes.
Whatever may be the motives of the Re
rublicans who are fighting Senator Quay,
the effect of their victory would be whole
some and in the interest of common hon
esty. When they are on the eve Of sue
cess for the Democrats TO defeat them
Nould be 10 bring Democracy into the same
ill-repute. 1t is not matter of purely
LEGAL interest, but it affects the Democrats
throughout the country. The fact that
Quay's Republican enemies are to blame
for refusing 10 join the Democrats in elect
ing an irreproachable Democrat to the Sen
ate does not acquit the minority of their
duty TO oppose the election of man under
indictment for crime who has STAYED OF
his trial and made no explanation of his
discriminating letters
The bare possibility of a deal by which
Senator Quay could obtain a single Demo
cratic vote encourages the demand for the
0opuiar election of United States Sena-
tors. That the Democrats of Pennsy.va-
mia who are not in the legislature would
never vote for Quay is certain. If man
in his situation should fail of a sufficient
number of votes in his own party in
popular election, he would not be able to
draw from the ranks of the rival organi-
Zation. II needs only such an event as
Cuays friends predict to increase the de-
mand for change in the system to such
magnitude that it would be effective.
