Hanna prevented Quay from secur-
ing seat in the senate, and Quay's
friends openly charge that Hanna's
action was influenced by the promise
of an enormous campaign fund from
John Wanamaker, Quay's uncompro-
missing enemy. If Hanna and Quay
conclude to fight their differences to
the bitter end, the friends of honest
election methods will find it difficult to
choose between them. If the result
prove as disasterous to each as did the
contest between the two Kilkenny cats,
the country would suffer no great loss.

Make thes Majority as Large as
Do,o,t1o


siNofriepdEof the, new railroad should
.neglect;to vote next Monday because
he may feel certain that his vote is not
necessary to insure g majority in favor
of the tax. The larger the majority
the greater will be the success of the
enterprise. Every vote will be like an
asset to the new company. The more
friends the new company has here in
Manchester, the more business it may
reasonably count upon being able to
secure, and patronage is property. The
company that has many supporters and
bright business prospects will be more
eagerly sought after than one with less
friends and supporters. Make the ma
jority for the tax as large as possible
1t will in certain degree, measure the
company's future success.
