for that position. and snlt he has GO. to
the end of his tether as a potent political
boss in the Keystone State. II this prove
to be the fact the ques ion arises, will
Mr.. Quay tear his clothes to assist Nc
Kinley TO be re- elected? II Is we'll known
that Hanna has been assiduously pouring
vitriol into the political wounds of the
old Pennsylvania fox for many months
but so far he has said nothing and never
whimpered, When, however, he sees that
his political ship is sinking, will he then
try to get even, or will he forgive and
forget? Those who know him best say
that he is a very kind man personally
and very amiablc. but that he never for
got a political favor and never forgave
a political injury. Il turus out that the
cause Of the enmity o. Hanna and McKin-
ley to Quay anu that impelled them to
turn him down last winter for his seat in
the senate, Is Quay'r refusal to dig up
money for Hanna for use in the last Ohio
campaign. Quay was one OF the frsl men

would have to run his old campaign with
out pennsylvania funds. That hit Hanna
on Hhe raw, and he has been putting the
cold political steel into Quay ever since
IT was his vote that kept Quay out OF his
seat last winter. If Quay is defeated for
the senate then We may look in vain for
that usual 10000 fraudulent votes that
always come to the surface in the city

for the r-.Yblican candidates. In fact, we
may see fifteen or more democratic mem

itself to some recent discoveries:
Every little while some unexpected discovery
reminds one that the mineral resources OF the
South are less than half developed and moro
than balf unknown. In recent years the Cor
elcana oil field, the Tennessee phosphate de-
posts the zinc ores Of upper East Tennessee
