Washington September 5.--Gstaf Spe
cial.) "A stonch Quay republican from the
State Of Pennsylvania has outi ned to me
the startling dernier resort Of the Quay
men in that State.
| He says that II the Quay republicans can
not elect the 'old man" next winter. they
vii throw all their strength in the legs
.laure 10 the democrats and elect the Hon.
Jim Guffey, the present member OF the
democratic National committee from that
State, as the United States senator from
the Keystone State. These Quay men
! justify this course on their part by say ng
that the anti Quay republicans, whom
they call the insurgents" are every
where cooperating with the democrats
/ the different legislative districts In the
| selection OF anti-Quay candidates, and
/ that they are themselves setting the eN-
ample Of affl alton with the democrats.
4 The Quay men claim that they are he
people who have built up the sglandil
party organization In the State ana that
4 the insurgents" are trying TO disrupt II
Since that Is the case they are determined
to give them big and nauseating dose
| OF their own medicine N The election OF
stn3ight out Bryan democrat to the senate.
II looks now as II the programme will be
carried out for the Quay men have about
given up hope OF carrying enough legisld-
tive districts to win with Quay. Quay
himself VIII be back from his summer va
cation about the 18th of tn 6 month and
take active charge Of the campai gn in h.
own interests. and IL they find at he wind
up that they have been defeated the word
viii be passed along the line to get to :
gether with the democrats and give the
insurgents lesson that they will never
forget 1t Is conceded that number
the Quay people will not act with the dem
ocraIs but enough of them will do 50 to
give the State democratic senator for the
next six years. 1t is an i'll wind that blows
nobody good, and this wind seems to b.
coming In the direction of the democrats.
May 1t blow to some purpose
~
The Hon. Golden Rule" Jones Of To-
ledo has at last consented to become a
: candidate for congress in that district, Il
the petition is big enough. He insists on
) being nominated by petition. He will not
take the nomination from any party as
he says lie Will not belong 10 any patty
8 and does not believe in parties. The petit
tions are now in circulation and they are
being numerously sgned by the democrats
OF the district
1t is understood that after he accepts
the nomination rendered in this manner,
! the democrats will hold a convention and
= formally indorse him and hat he will t
the full democratic vote of the district.
The district is normally republican by
l. about 1000 plurality, but ii is believed
y that Jones will overcome this easily ana
BIO elected. This means much for the dem-
ocrats. Jones will not only be elected and
II stand with the democrats in the next
o house, but his work on the stump will
y have a tremndous effect on the vote for
the presidency in the State OF Ohio,
II 1t is conceded by the republicans that
% not less than 40 per cent of the Jones vote
IT last year. which was 100000, came from
6 the republican party, and that he can
y carry nearly all that with him for any
thing he advocates. When he gets on the
stump he will hammer the immortal ichor
out OF Imperialism and Hannaism and II
Will have its effect all over the State
n among those who followed him last year
II he can only hold half the republicans n
line who voted with him last fail against
Hannaism. he will beat Mckinley in hi
own State. without the change OF another
/ single vote to BSyan this would give him
the State by over $1,000 plurality.
d The republicans are aware of the danger
4. to them contained in this candidacy OF
It Jones, and they are hustllng to stop it.
If but it is not believed that they can do so
Mark Hanna will go over to Cleveland and
4 try to put a stop to it with some of the
y, dough he has been industriously collect
y ing in New York FOR the last month, but it
is believed here that the men who vote
e with Jones can not be bought with money
n or place. AS Jones himself is not a par
tisan they too are patriots before they
>, are partisans. Ii there was more of that
II kind of voting in this country there would
be a much better government at Washing
