Elk. SENATOR MATTHEW S. QUAY 5
political future hinged upon the
Pennsylvania legislative election.
The fact that the Legislature of that
State is largely Republican,dOes not,
however, necessarily insure Mr..
Quay's reelection to the United
States Senate. There was q Repub'
liesn msjority 10 the last Pennsyl'
vsnia L gislature, but a bitter senti'
meut existed against Mr.. Quay,
which, combined with Democratic as
sistanee, created a deadlock. that
was q barrier to Mr.. Qasy's re-elec.
ton, or the election of any other
aspirant to the Senate. The ex.
Senator took a prominent part in the
recent national election; snd while
Governor Stone, his warm friend,
claims that his reelection is assured,
the leading Philadelphia papers as
sert that he csunot.secure the neces-
sary votes to re.eleet him, as
many Of the Republican members
will not support him. Mr.. Qusy has
"cut his cards" pretty shrewdly, but
his only hope Of election consists in
the ability of his friend to whip
some Of the anti Quay faction Of the
Legislature into line. and that is q
very uncertain calculation.
