Quay in the cnmpnien.-The Hon

Quay in the Cnmpnign.-The Hon.
Matthew Stanley Quay will inaugurate his
campaign for the Senate in Pennsylvania
next week. or course, his campaign has
been in progress for year, but he has not
been exhibiting himself much to the people
during its progress. II appears that he has
not given up the fight yet by a good deal,
in spite of the exultant boasts of the Hon.
john Wanamaker and others that they
have him beaten. Colonel Quay will attend
a meeting at West Chester Monday even
ing, and from that point he will go to
Montgomery and adjoining counties. He
will be accompanied by Governor Stone,
Attorney General Elkin, and other State
officers, and upon these will fall the bur
den OF the spellbinding work. The Beaver
statesman is not spellbinder, as that
term is generally understood. His voice
is too weak 10 permit him to make open
air speeches and even In halls his vocal
powers are not great enough to enable MIN
to thrill many people with his eloquence.
But he has a way Of talking to the people
in private which heretofore has proved Ell
fectiye. and on his forthcoming tour he is
expected to hold tete-a-tetes with every
body worth talking TO. 1t is announced that
he expects to meet and confer only with
organization" Republicans. This seems 10
be in line with the rumor that he intends
utterly to ignore the insurgents now and
also when they assemble at Harrisburg next
winter to do him" Presumably he is 60
ing to Ak things so that he can throw the
election OF his successor 10 the Democrats
II the insurgents" refuse to come into
his camp. In that event the Hon. J. NJ.
Guffey will succeed him. II is significant
that none of Colonel Quays supporters
has denied this highly interesting rumor.
Not Paying spenkers.-It may inter
est a number Of people and surprise
many others to learn that the Bryan
campaign managers in the East are not
paving out. a dollar for spellbinders. 1t
Is probable, of course, that the forth
coming tour of the Hon. w. Bourke
Cochran will cost some money. but this
will be due wholly to the fact that Mr..
Cochran demands a private car to travel
iu-and private cars cost Democrats con-
siderable money. But Ex-Governor
| Stone. the responsible manager Of the
| Eastern campaign, is authority for the
| statement that no speakers have been
| hired by him or his associates. nor are
| any of the hundreds now upon the stump
in New York. New Jersey, Maryland, and
| West Virginia drawing a cent from ma
| tional headquarters In New York. 1t is
| explained that these speakers are all
| volunteers, who are giving their time and
| services free to the Bryan campaign simply
| because they are earnestly aroused to
the dangers which threaten the Republic.
| They have come into the East from all
parts of the country, and they report to
headquarters in New York for assign
ment Just as If they had been hired to
| work on the stump. II is suggested that
| II Mr.. Hanna could get spellbinders to
work for Mr. Mckinley for nothing and
pay their own expenses to boot, as the
army of Bryan spellbinders are doing
he would not have to keep going down
| into Wall street and preach against
apathy and overconfidence.
