Ha llegado ell momento-dijo Mr..

STRENGTH TEST
Preliminary Vote on the Quay
Case Likely to Soon Occur
in the Senate.
If Unfavorable Mr.. Quay May
Have His Appointment
Withdrawn.
Evidence in Kentucky Election
Contests Promises to Be
Lively.

NEW YORK. Jan. !. "A special to The
Herald from Washington says: An op.
portunity is to be afforded to test the
full strength of former Senator Quay
in the senate without a direct vote on
the question Of seating him. This will
come when the committee on privileges
and elections reports his case back to
the senate. There will be two reports,
one signed by Senators Burrows, CAT
ferry, Pettus, Turley and Harris, against
seating Senator Quay, and another
signed by Senators Chandler, Hoar,
Prilchard and Spooner in his favor.
When these reports are submitted, a
motion will be made by Senator Chand-
Ter to proceed to the immediate consid-
Grafton of the case. The question OF
the right Of a senator to his seat, being
u Of highest privilege, it is competent
for Mr.. Quay's friends to insist upon
immediate consideration. If the ma
jority prefer to continue with the cur
rency bill, it is not improbable Senator
Quay may conclude to lave his ap.
polntment withdrawn.

and revenue laws-and piled up in the

every few weeks and large business

Pioneer Press actually sees the evils of
the present money system aud comes
out with a big roar against the sub.

contests for governor and lieutenant

leaders will be to push the contests to
a final issue as speedily as possible.
Governor Taylor's attorneys are pre-

offset the charges of fraud in Goebel's
notice of contest, but, according to
Senator Deboe, are going much further
and attempting to show up counter
frauds Of a glazing nature on the Dem

out that Taylor was robbed of over
