Senator John e. Grady. of Philadelphia who
was chairman ~ the joint Republican caucu,
issued the following statement tonight.
The results Of the primary elections through.

publican voters Of Pennsylvania sustain the AZ.
ton Of those members of our party who havs
consistently voted from the outset in the sena.
torial contest for the Republican caucus nom.
inee. NJ. $. Quay The returns from the election
in Lancaster County on Saturday are especially
significant with majorites running over five
thousand for each delegate supported by the
friends Of Senator Quay. and In Butler and in
MOntOur counties, on the same dav through
the regular Republican organization. delegates
to the Republican State Convention were elected
who are in entire accord with stalwart Repubi.
canism The Republicans Of Indiana, Blar
Union and Warren counties had previously ex-
pressed themselves in like manner.
That history repeats itself il a trusm but
there is no rule that crcumscribes the time ot
the two events The deadlock over the election
Of a United States Senator in the eighties
not a repetition OF the deadlock among the
hftics The present is unlike either Of them in
its progress. and it will also be in its results.
In the controversy existing there Is an absence
of the bitterness that characterized the Othe.
contests, and another element absent is that ot
union among the dissenters or self-styled In
sureents."
The present caucus nominee ~ the Repuhli-
can party started out with more than two
thirds Of its membership IN the General Assem-
bly,, and there is no influence needed 10 supply
cohesion as is shown in our two months trial.
wherein there has been change Of only thres
votes
The solid line comes up daily to the fray with.
out a murmur or waver and gives promise ot
staying qualities that were not found in the
prior contests when they ultimately chose
new man. because they could not hold sum.

power In this case the regular organization
can lose a dozen votes. or double that number,
and then hold its position with honor, and

party for loyalty and tenacity 10 what they
believe is the cause Of right They are the
only party TO the contest that can take comfort
from the election held since the issue vas
Joined two months ago. as reflected in the re-
turns from the Republican primaries.
In this view even those experienced in politics
admit that the election Of Senator Quay is the
only logical result Of this unfortunate. ill-ad-
vsed and unnecessary controversy which In It's
solution Will hurt many and benefit only Few,
for If the recent county conventions Forecast
anything it is that Of strict accountability tor
