that the supporters of the Hon. Matthew
Stanley Quay are not so sanguine OF his I'LL
innate triumph in Pennsylvania as they
were before the Senate turned him down.

as ii stands at present is decidedly dis
couragirg to the Quay side. Though 1t is
true that only about one-third of the men,

between him and Bryan. that the Nebras-
kan will hentefcrth have TO sniff for him
