The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1900-12-12

uous ngure IN the deadlock on the
United States senatorship two years
ago, has come to the front as one of
the leaders in the cause of the regulars,
and he is very active in the canvass in
favor of the election of Representative
Marshall for the speakership. He was
regarded as the most alert and the
brainiest of the insurgents in the last
session. He acted as presiding officer
Of their meetings In the house and
fought as well as he knew how against
the reelection of Col. Quay. He went
home.' sounded the sentiments of the
Republicans of the district and con-
cluded that they now favor the election
of Col. Quay. He was renominated
without opposition from the regulars,
and he is now on the firing line of the
stalwarts, and will be with them when
they win their victory at Harrisburg
next month.
The insurgents are still blufiing in
their newspaper war on Col. Quay.
They are making all sorts of false
charges about the use of money by the
regulars, yet they do not seem to think
of the fact that the people know that
were 1t not for the little coterie of
monied men who are keeping the in
surgent N lrhine we'll creased with fat
contributions there would be no or
ganizations of insurgents. Money has
been the principal stock in trade of the
insurgents since they started out, and
they have spent hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars in a desperate but frultless
campaign against the Beaver stateman.
Their newspaper bureau is perhaps one
Of their strongest assets.
INSURGENT NEWSPAPER COMBINE
Some of the antics of the insurgent
newspapers would be very amusing to
a reader conversant with the true sit
uation if their hypocrisy was not so
transparent and contemplate. AS only
one instance, mark the publication Of
| an alleged list of Quay, anti-Quay and
| doubtful members of both senate and
house that appeared in a PHILADELPHIA
evening paper unfriendly TO Senator
Quay one day last week.
In this alleged list, after grotesquely
arranging Quay members in the anti
| Quay list and vice versa, and CHASING
| In the doubtful list men who have
never wavered in their allegiance to
| Senator Quay, and who have repeatedly
showed their loyalty to him in the
most trying times, they finally recapit-
| ulated them so as to give the senator
% votes in the house, making total
of 11S votes, or nine short of the requi-
site number for election.
1t is noticeable that the particular
anti-Quay paper did not have the ef-
frontery TO claim that this was an esti-
mate furnished by the friends Of the
distinguished senator.
The list is adrotly drawn with two
or three we'll known anti-Quay mer
in the Quay column, and with this MI
cleus the insurgents afterward tear II
in shreds. In other words, they use
this particular paper to set up a ridic.
ulous straw man." no doubt manu-
factured to order by the political liars
Of their own original insurgent news
bureau.
