DISCUSSING QUAY's CASE.
Nr. Hoar Addresses the senate in the
PcnusyIvunian's Behalf.

In the Senate today the rcsolutio
against the right Of Matthew s Quay to
occupying a scat as senator under appoiut-
ment from The Governor ol Pennsylvania.
was taken up and Mr. Hoar addressed the
Senate against the resoIu- ion and in sup
port Of Nr. QUay's claim. He stated some
points in the history Of The framing q the
Constitution to show he sati. duw much
the country at large was inter asted in
having the Senate always full. and how
little the idea il concerned tho state alone
was in the mind Of the conversion and of
the people.
He spoke OF the importance Of even a
single vote in the Senate. A single vote
two years ago would have changed IN, en-
tire policy Of the country in regard TO
Cuba. and a single vote had saved Andrew
Johnson from being deprived OF his once
as President OF the United States And
now was it TO be supposed that the franz
ers cE the Constitution haj contemplated /
the idea that the great state OF PenusyI-
vania should be shOrn Of half its strength
in the Senate? That was the propo itiou
now pending.
Mr.. Turley. who made he report against
Mr. Quay, asked whether there had been
a case since 1925 where a Senator had been
seated on the appointment of a Governor
when the Legislature had had an CppOTtu-
nifty to FIJI the vacancy
Mr.. Hoar replied that there had not been
case exactly in point with the present
one. and argued that the precedents in
such matters were the east reL.ble OF all
precedents. He added that the question
never would be settled until il was set
tied in favor Of the right of the State. OF
the right Of the Senate, Of the right Of the
whole people OF the country, and never
was so imperative as il WAS today that
every State should have its quota in the
Senate and that every seat should be full
He said that he had rSeD receiving piles
Of letters for the last .sI weeks, arguin 2
for the decision of the question on the
writer's views as 10 the character Of the
gentleman appointed by the Governor Of
Pennsylvania. such a course. he said
could not find support in tse United States
as it had found support recently in France
where a man had been CONDEMNED on pop
ular clamor. and against the evidence. II
the Constitution written 1l3 years ago
meant anything that meaning was q stand
for every case and for an time.
