, OBODY imagines that Mr.. Quay

NOBODY imagines that Mr. Quay
IN will accept the challenge extend
ed by the republican faction that
opposes him in Pennsylvania and run
for the office of state treasurer. Penn
sylvania is one of the few states in
which a general election will be held
next November. Already a good deal
of interest is awakened over the pri-
maries which will result in the selec
ton of delegates to the state conven-
ton. Quay is deeply engaged in an eff
fort to have a Quay majority in the
republican convention and, If the truth
is told by newspapers that are friendly
to him, he is making good Roadway.
But it will not be in Quay's plans to
submit himself to a popular vote. The
claim will be, IL he controls the state
convention, that his appointment by
the governor, ito the office of federal
senator, gets the approval of the repub-
lican party in the state of Pennsyl-
yania. Nothing adverse could follow,
unless the democrats were to carry the
state on election day, and the repub-
leans who are opposed to Quay, If they
act as in the past they have acted,
will prefer a bad republican rather
than a good democrat

~ ONE of the newspapers that are
~ finding fault because General
~ Eagan was not dismissed from
the army fail to take account of GER
tain important factors in the case. The
record is that under the terms of an
article of war a comtmartial tried
Eagan for sanderous references to the
commanding general and sentenced
him to be dismissed. The mitigation
was the act of President Mckinley,
and that act practically resulted in an
arrangement whereby Eagan is not
dismissed from the army. He is sim
ply suspended from duty and has moth
ing to do except to draw pay. Under
the age limit he has about six years
vet to serve. He will draw $500 a
year during these six years-he ranks
as brigadier general. When these
six years are up he will draw three
quarter pay as long as he lives. Thai

gan was sent into the ease of private

CRITTENTON WORK.
1t Concluded Yesterday by an Open Air

Charles N. Crittenton and party yester-

AT o'clock last evening an open air
meeting was held at the corner of Main

were there, and the officers had a hard
time to keep a passageway open for pc
destrians.

There will be no lack of money for
a Dewey fund. While Montana will
give gladly and generously, it may be
better in this instance to follow the
lead of the older, larger and richer
communities where plans are under
discussion but not yet perfected. The
silly talk of a. high price dinner suits
those who like that sort of thing, but,
of course, it evokes no popular sym
pathy. There is talk about a fund for
superb home for Admiral Dewey IN
Washington, if he wants one there, or
mont, if he would like the investment
made there. Then, too, there is talk
of a home and of large invested for
tune besides, wherewith to maintain
the home; there is suggestion of a sub
stantial but less ambitious tribute to
Dewey himself and, in addition a large
fund for some enduring Dewey memoir
ial in a charitable or educational estab-
lishment.
In good time the talk which is now
progressing will reduce itself to action.
Then there will be a definite line along
which to work. Perhaps it is best to
await the lead, since it goes without
saying that Montana will take hold
heartily and do her share gladly to-
ward the execution of any good plan.

FIGHTING QUAY.
The Independents Issue an Address 10
Pennsylvania Republicans.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 4.-The Republi-
can senators and members who signed
the pledge not to take part in last night $
senatorial coucus organized, this morn
ing. at the Commonwealth hotel to keep
up the fight against Senator Quay until
after the supreme court has disposed of
the Peoples Bank conspiracy cases. The
meeting was attended by nearly all the
signers and two others who did not sign
but kept away from the caucus.
Senator Flynn said there was no nee
essay for holding senatorial caucus,
last night. and that so long as those who
stayed away stood together, there could
be no election of United States senator
What he wanted was more light on the
charges pending against Senator Quay to
ascertain whether he is proper person
to be elected to the United States Sen
ate.
Mr.. Flynn also said that he interpreted
the pledge binding the independents to
keen out of the caucus to mean that they
would not vote for Mr. Quay until the
supreme court has disposed of the con-
spiracy cases and that if the senator was
in no better position after its action than
ne Is row they cannot vote for his re-
election.
deiphia, concurred in what Senator Flynn
had said. This was his Interpretation of
his pledge and he would stand upon his
platform.
A committee was appointed to take
charge of the work of the anti-Quay or
ganization. The committee issued an adj
dress. this evening, to the Republicans OF
Pennsylvania in which they say:
Feeling that We are sustained in our
position by. the unbiased sentiment of the
state. We deem it unwise to vote for any
person for United States senator who is
duly charged with crime so long as those
charges remain undetermined.
We cannot justify ourselves for vot-
ing for any person for Office who is in
dicted for criminal offenses and who
Is indicted for criminal offenses and who
simply alleges that he is the victim of
conspiracy.
We believe that the public as well as
ourselves is not interested in the motives
of the person making the charges, but
rather in the truth of the falsity Of these
charges.
Entertaining these views we submit
our action to the unprejudiced judgment
of our fellow citizens"
