By curious coincidence, a few days
ago. the same phase OF the woman suf-
frage question was argued from oppos-
ing points Of view In places widely
apart neither party having particular
reference 20 the other. At a legislative
hearing I'm Albany, six women came up
10 protest against the proposal TO let
tax paying women vote upon questions
OF taxation. Among the women who ap-
peared for suffrage on this occasion
was Miss Margaret Livingston Chan
Ter. who has just been thanked by the
New York legislature for her distin-
guished services in nursing our sick
and wounded soldiers. Miss Chanler is
a niece OF Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, and
was a society belle until the war called
her TO devote her time. strength and
means TO the wounded. Like Clara Bar
ton. she wants to vote. Now the Anti's
plea is that suffrage is not based on
taxation, because the vote OF the man
who pays no tax counts for as much
as that OF the millionaire. And they
claimed at this hearing that suffrage
was based on the power TO fight. They

AS general principle of the new dl-
vision in Democratic circles the ten-dol-
lar-a-plate men are of the gold bug
stamp, while the dollar-a- plate fellows
are Chicago platformists. Tammany
Hall Is engineering the ten-dollar ban
quet. the occasion being Thomas Jeffer-
sons birthday anniversary. To this
joyous occasion the Hon. Billy Bryan
declines 10 come partly because he is
dIsInclIned to be sociable with the
gold bugs who are chiefly identified
with the undertaking, and partly be-
cause he doubts that Thomas Jefferson
would have approved of anything SO
elaborate as a ten-dolar-a-plate din

which Mr. Bryan Is ambitious to repre-
sent certainly would not. I'm Mr.. Bry-
ans opinion. The latter sentiment gives
the cue to those Democrats who ap-
prove OF Thomas Jefferson's recorded
simplicity and the feelings OF the
masses TO get up a one-dollar-a-
plate dinner on t6e occasion of the
birthday OF the eminent statesman.
And il is expected that Billy Bryan

The Fight in Lebanon Co.

At Lebanon, Pa, last Friday, the
first gun of the anti-Quay campaign in
the interest of Dr. Samuel Weiss, can
didate for State Senator to succeed
Lieutenant Governor Goblin, was fired
at over-howing meetings in Jamestown
and Annville Besides local speakers
c. c. Kaufman, of Columbia, and Rep
resentative j. B. Randall, of Chester
county, were the speakers at Jones
town, and Senator Finn. of Pittsburg,
and Senator J. Bayard Henry, of Phila-
delphia, at Annviiie
The speakers reviewed Senator Quays
political history, declaring that he had
debauched the politics of the State, and
made strong appeals to voters to over
throw bossism. The fight is squarely
Quay and anti-Quay, and the voters,
understanding it as such, will make
united efforts to elect Dir Weiss, the
pronounced anti-Quay candidate.
Meetings have been booked for every
night until the primaries, on February
T. The contest will be the hottest ever
experienced in this county.
At Myerstown, Tuesday evening Sen
aror Finn, was the chief speaker He
took up Quays indictments alleging
the misappropriation of the State mon
ey, and cited other reasons why Quay
should not be returned to the United
States Senate. Senator Henry said be
was inspired in the cause of this great
contest against Quay. He called atten
tion to Gen. Gobin's many offices and
called this a bi-election. He said; 'All
the eyes of the State are upon Lebanon
county in this bi-election and the most
important election in the last % years
He said that the 80 legislators at Hlr-
risburg would stay out against Quay
until the day of judgment before they
would vote for him Senator Henry
finished by saying he hoped Lebanon
county would send a Weiss man
from the east instead of a gold brick.

Quay's Career.

Whether Quay is elected or defeated
for United States senator and whether
the trial of the charges against him ac-
quits or convicts him the fight against
Quay and Quayism will continue until
he has become IA nightmare of the
past" The anti-Quay Republicans of
the State are determined to have better
politics and better government than
that permitted under the Quay regime.
The anti-Quay people are resolved to
keep on fighting and some lively times
may be experienced in the State this
year should Quay be reelected. If he
is defeated it is thought that he will
pass into oblivion as he will have
neither the energy nor ambition to re
new LGstilities. The Philadelphia
Press says editOrially concerning Quay.
Mr. Quay has no claim upon the
party for services rendered. he has
been repaid a thousandfold for every
thing he has eyer done. On the other
hand he has brought defeat and disas-
ter and disoredit upon the party. To
him and his friends the party owes the
defeat of two Republican candidates
for governor To him the present gov
ernor-elect owes the fact that his nlG
ralitv was only III eco Instead OF 500
000, and 10 him a number OF Repubh-
can candidates for Congressional, legis-
lative and county offices owe their de
feat at the last election. Senator Quay
has never bpen loyal &c the Republican
party W hen it suited his interests to be
otherwise HH mas time and again
caused the defeat Of Republican candi-
dates obnoxious to him. The party
caucus has no binding claim upon him
He kept his friends out of that eau
Gus couple of years ago and joined
with the Democrats to prevent a fair
reapportiunment of the State which had
been decreed by majority of the Re
publican legislators. Senator Quay has
been malign influence in the politics
of the State and Nation. He has solemn
ly promised sweeping reforms, and after
he has gained his ends has failed to
keep his pledges. One of the worst
Legislatures in our history, that OF
1897, was absolutely controlled by him.
He has degraded the politics of the
State and made a laughing stock of re
form"
Every true Republican in Pennsyl-
vania and the Nation will rejoice when
they hear that the self-respecting and
loyal Republican members of the Penn
sylvania Legislature have retired Mr.
Quay to private life.
