snyder COunty's lnuOrSement.
There is no question but that the
Republicans of Pennsylvania, by the
splendid majority given the Republi-
can nominees last fall, after the fight
made against them by the disgruntled
element in the state, and the clean
sweep now being made in the election
of delegates to the state convention,
are favorable to Hon. M. S. Quay 1t
is an Endorsement of him.
J. A. LUMBARD.
Editor Snyder County Tribune.
Right From the Shoulder.
It is our belief that Pennsylvania
has supported Quay and will do it
again.at the first opportunity. He GER
tainly should be seated, and the great
majority of the Republicans in this
county are very grateful to The In
quirer for it's great fight in his favor.
Keep it up, and we will back you and
Quay both at the first opportunity. We
have no sympathy with the cutthroat
traitors who are trying to ruin our
party for their own glorification and a
certain rich mans money.
Editor Ridgway (Elk co., Advocate.
Fairly Won the Fight.
Senator Quay has won every contest
in Pennsylvania in which he ever en-
gagged. He fairly won the legislative
contest in 1898. the issue being fairly
before the people in both the primary
and the general elections in the fall.
There is no valid reason or excuse why
he should not have been elected by
the last legislature. Forest county
members supported him to the end,
and we believe he should be seated.
Editor Forest County Republican.
Should BE Fully Represented.
Senator Quay has been supported by
the people of Pennsylvania and still
has their confidence and support He
was the caucus nominee of the party,
and should have been elected. His Sc
lection should not depend upon pre-
cedents, but upon strict construction
of the constitution. Pennsylvania
should always have two members in
the senate.
Editor Meadville Crawford county,
Tribune-Republican
Ought tO De Seated.
Pennsylvania supported Mr.. Quay
when the caucus of the majority party
nominated him by a majority of those
having the right to vote and then the
majority of his party continued to vote
for him until the close of the session.
He ought to be seated.
Editor Harrisburg Telegraph.
Imperial PennsyIvanin's Rights.
Certainly, Pennsylvania has support
ed Quay at every possible opportunity,
and will do so again. Yes, he should
be reseated as senator, because he rep
resents the sentiment of the imperial
state of Pennsylvania, and because the
state is entitled to equal representation
with sister commonwealthS.
Editor Altoona Tribune.
Fulton County Sentiment.
Pennsylvania has always supported
Senator Quay, and had Republicans in
| the legislature reflected the honest
! opinions of their constituents he would
| have been elected. Failing his cleo
| ton, he should be seated on the gov
| ernor's appointment. so that the great
| commonwealth of Pennsylvania should
| be fully represented in the highe :
! branch Of congress.
Editor Fulton Republican.
DcnOmnccs Caucus Boilers.
Pennsylvania has long been loyal to
| Senator Quay, on account of his sturdy
| Republicanism and ability to shatter
| Democratic hopes in state and nation.
| He has never been beaten in a fair,
open contest AID his adherents are as
| numerous as over. The common sense
| reason why he should be seated is be-
| cause the Democrats and caucus bolt
! ers at the last session of helegislature.
| together constituting a majority, failed
| to elect, which gave Governor Stone
| clear right to appoint, if it was the
| purpose Of the trainers of the cOnstitu-
| tion--and we believe it waS-that
| Pennsylvania should always have full
| representation in the United States
| senate.
Editor Iewisburg tUnion county, Sat-
urday News.
| Voice From Fnyette County.
The failure of the last legislature to
| elect a senator was due to the bolting
| action of about one-fourth the Repub-
| lican members, not a half dozen OF
whom could have been nominated or
| elected had it been known by their
constituents that they would not enter
the caucus and otherwise observe the
regular party customs. The action OF
the regular or caucus Republicans was
| later indorsed by an overwhelming
majority of the delegates in the Re-
publican state convention. and was
ratified by the people at the polls last
November by 10000 plurality. 1t will
again be ratified by the coming state
convention by a four-fifths vote

| The Commonwealth Choice.
The question of Colonel Quay's ac-
ceptability to the Republican voters OF
Pennsylvania has been answered by
them in the affirmative every time it
has been raised. He is the common
wealth's choice for senator, and every
state should have complete representa-
tion in the senate.
LEVY S. RICHARDS,
Editor Scranton Tribune.
Voice of the People.
The result of the last election, in our
Judgment, settled the fact that Penn
sylvania Republicans supported Quay
and that large majority not only OF
the people, but practically all Repub-
licans, desired him to be senated by
the senate The platform indorsed his
