Quay's Chances Indefinite.

indianapolis, Dec. 81 Senator Bev-

ment concerning Senator Quay:
THE talk about Quay not having
votes enough TO seat him is nonsense.
so are the claims that he has enough
votes to seat him. Nobody knowns
just what the situation is. know that
a great many other Senators are exact
ly In the same situation. The whole
matter is pure question of constitu-
tional construction. All this talk about
corrupt elections, otc., has nothing to
do with the case. Quay Is not claiming
through an election. He is claiming
through an appointment by the Cover
nor The question is whether or not
the Governor had constitutional right
to appoint him. l have not had time to
give that question the special study
which it's immense Importance de-
serves. When | have done so, shall
know how shall vote. That consider
alton, and that alone, will determine
the matter. This is also the case with
a great number of other Senator's"
