The address of Senator Henry was an
eloquent denunciation Of Quayism and
thorough exposure eff the methods by
which it retains its hold upon the politics
and the public Offices of Pennsylvania
The audience received with the utmost ap-
probation his declaration that Quay and
Quayism in this Commonwealth have had
their day. The honor of the State, he con-
tinued, is in the keeping OF Its citizens,
and the only way in which the gross vlo-
lations perpetrateG by the band of Quay
ties can be rebuked is for every voter,
no matter to which party he may belong,
to refuse to vote for any man for the
Legislature who does not declare absolute
opposition to the reelection of Quay to

He urged the independent voters to go
from house to house, from farm to farm,
and from factory to factory, and labor fer
the defeat Of the Quay candidates for the

Iators like Jason Sexton and H H Fet-
teTolf. who as Republican members of the
last Legislature did their full duty in re
siSting the brides and demands of the cor
rupt Quay machine, is like striking down
ploye for doing his duty and saving your
property in time OF peril. This alone
should be q sufficient cause to arouse ey-
