Friends Express Surprise
and Astonishment.
On Tuesday of last week Matthew
S. Quay was not allowed to take seat
in the United States senate on the ap-
pointment Of the governor Of Pennsyl-
vania by a vote of 80 to 80. The gal
leries were thronged with multitudes,
while other multitudes were unable to
gain admission.
On the floor Of the senate was every
member of the body now in the city
with scores ofmembers Of the house of
representatives. The great throng
listened with deep attention to the
brilliant argument of Mr.. Spooner in
favor of the seating Of the former Penn
sylvania senator and to the Democratic
and fiery eloquence Of A1r. Daniel Of
Virginia, who appealed to his col
leagues to do what, on his oath as a
senator, he deemed right, and vote to
do Justice to him who was knocking at
the senate doors. Mr.. Daniel concluded
10 minutes before the hour fixed for
the voting to begin. The excitementin
the senate by this time was intense.
There was a hush in the chamber as
Mr.. Frye, in the chair, announced at
o'clock that the hour for the final vote
had arrived and that the question was
the pending motion Of Mr.. Chandler to
strike out Of the resolution declaring
Mr. Quay not to be entitled to a seat
the word "not." Amid suppressed ex-
citement MIR. Chandler demanded the
yeas and nays and the secretary Of the
senate began to call the roll. All knew
the vote would be close. The first SEN
sation was caused by the failure Of Mr..
Pettigrew OF South Dakota to answer to
his name although he was in his seat.
When Mr.. Vests name was called he
voted mo" in a clear, distinct voice,
thus dashing the last hope Of the friends
Of Mr.. Quay, who had expected conf
deutly that the distinguished Missou-
rian would vote for his long time per-
sonal friend.
Mr.. Spooner contended for liberal
craftsmanship in the case, saying that
the senate should not take the narrow
est conceivable view of its determine
ton Of the question. As for hiusels
neither personal tie nor popular criti-
cism would influence his vote, which
should be cast for Mr.. Quay.
Messrs. Stewart of Nevada and Tur-
ner of Washington followed.
'This is judicial question, said Mr..
Daniel of Virginia, ''and ought to be
decided upon judicial principles. Upon
my oath IS a senator Of the United
States, delivering true judgment accord
ing to my legal convictions, declars
/ do believe that Mr.. Quay is entitled
to seat in this body and so believing,
I will 30 vote.
Mr.. Daoiel.then presented constitu-
tional argument in reply to that made
by Mr. Quarles of Wisconsin.
In conclusion, Mr. Daniel declared
that Mr.. Quay, as the appointee Of the
governor Of Pennsylvania, has as good
right to seat in the senate as had
any senator.
At O'Clock the chair announced the
hour for voting had arrived and the
pending question was Chambers mo-
ton to strike out of the committee
resolution declaring that Mr.. Quay was
not entitled to a seat in the senate, the
word mot"
Mr.. Chandler asked for yeas and
nays.
The motion was defeated as follows:
Yeas-Allison, Baker, Carter, Chand-
ler, CLARK of Wyoming, Cullom, Daniel,
Davis, Deboe, Foraker, Frye, Gear,

posed to him; Pritchard with Gallinger;

being exactly reversed on this question.

the senate on the appointment Of Gov.
Stone.
