gagged He fairly won the legislative
contest in 1898, the issue being fairly
before the people in both the primary
and the general elections in the iaii'
There is no valid reason or excuse why
he should not have been elected by
the last legislature. Forest county
members supported him to the end,
and we believe he should be seated.
Editor Forest County Republican.
Should he Fully Represented.
Senator Quay has been supported by
the people of Pennsylvania and still
has their confidence and support. He
was the caucus nominee of the party,
and should have been elected. His Sc
lection should not depend upon pre-
cedents, but upon strict construction
of the constitution. Pennsylvania
should always have two members in
the senate.
Editor Meadville Crawford county,
Tribune-Republican.
Ought to he Seated.
Pennsylvania supported Mr.. Quay
when the caucus of the majority party
nominated him by majority OF those
having the right to vote and then the
majority of his party continued to vote
for him until the close of the session.
He ought to be seated.
Editor Harrisburg Telegraph.
Imperial Pennsylvnnin's Rights.
Certainly, Pennsylvania has support
ed Quay at every possible opportunity,
and will do so again. Yes, he should
be reseated as senator, because he rep
resents the sentiment of the imperial
state of Pennsylvania, and because the
state is entitled to equal representation
with sister commonwealths.
Editor Altoona Tribune.
Fulton County Sentiment.
Pennsylvania has always supported
Senator Quay, and had Republicans in
the legislature reflected the honest
opinions of their constituents he would
have been elected. Failing his cleo
ton, he should be seated on the gov
ernor's appointment, so that the great
commonwealth of Pennsylvania should
be fully represented in the higher
branch of congress.
Editor Fulton Republican.
DenOunces tnucus bOhers.
Pennsylvania has long been loyal to
Senator Quay on account of his sturdy
Republicanism and ability to shatter
Democratic hopes in state and nation.
He has never been beaten in fair,
open contest and his adherents are as
numerous as ever. The common sense
reason why he should be seated is be-
cause the Democrats and caucus bolt
ers at the last session of the legislature,
together constituting majority, failed
to elect, which gave Governor Stone
a clear right to appoint, if it was the
purpose of the trainers of the constitu-
tion-and we believe ii was-that
Pennsylvania should always have full
representation in the United States
senate.
Editor Lewisburg (Union county, Sat-
urday News.
Voice From Fayette County.
The failure of the last legislature to
elect a senator was due to the bolting
action of about one-fourth the Repub-
lican members, not a half dozen OF
whom could have been nominated OIL
elected had it been known by theii
constituents that they would not enter
the caucus and otherwise observe the
regular party customs. The action oi
the regular or caucus Republicans was
later indorsed by an Overwhelming
majority of the delegates in the Re
publican state convention, and wa:
ratified by the people at the polls las
November by 10000 plurality. 1t will
again be ratified by the coming stat'
convention by four-fifths vote.

The COmmOnwcnItI.-s Choice.
The question of Colonel Quay's ac
ceptability to the Republican voters o
Pennsylvania has been answered b!
them in the affirmative every time
has been raised. He is the common
wealth's choice for senator, and ever!
state should have complete representa-
ton in the senate.
LEVY S. RICHARDS,
Editor Scranton Tribune.
Voice of the People.
The result of the last election, in ou
Judgment, settled the fact that Penn
sylvania Republicans supported Qua,
and that large majority not only o
the people, but practically all Repub
licans, desired him to be senated b.
the senate. The platform indorsed hi
appointment and it was ratified at tn
polls.

The Caucus Nominee.
AS Senator Quay was the legitimat
choice of the Republican caucus of tn
Pennsylvania legislature, and, further
more, as he subsequently became tn
appointee of the governor of the stat'
/ there is every reason why his claim
I for seat should be fully and prompt
recognized by his colleagues in the ser
/ ate.
