The United States Senate on
Tuesday, by vote Of SO to 80, de-
clared that N. S. Quay was not en-
titled to seat in that body as a Sem
ator from Pennsylvania. 1t will be
remembered that last year, owing to
the fight against Quay in his own par
ty,the Pennsylvania Legislature failed
to elect Senator, adjourning in a
deadlock. Governor Stone appointed
Quay to the vacancy, but he was not
admitted to the Senate. A strong
fight was made to seat him. The COM
mittee heard all the evidence in his
case, and reported adversely. Tues
day the Senate voted on the report Of
the committee, and by the close mar
gin above indicated Mr.. Quay was
RELOCATED to private life.
The Senate doesn' often perform a
disagreeable duty as well it has this.
We congratulate the country.
