POLITICAL.

Dalzell is speaking in W. Virginia
this week.
Teddy had great audiences in
Bryan's state.
Roosevelt had an audience of $4,000
in Convention Hall, Kansas City, Satur-
day night.
At Victor large mining town OF
Colorado, Gov. Roosevelt was not al
lowed to speak in peace in the town
hall, and he and his party were attack
ed and mobbed on their way from the
hall to their train. Mr.. Roosevelt was
struck by transparency, and his escort
of old Rough Riders; alone. saved him
from greater violence. At Pueblo, sbn
the other hand. he received mighty
welcome, and addressed three audiences.
At mass meeting in West Chester,
: near Philadelphia, Monday evening ex-
Senator NJ S. Quay read quite long
speech, which was temperate and in
genious, and which, strange to say, was
entirely devoid of 'fbloody blouses" and
fiery crosses"
Quay is in favor of ballot-reform, and
Is willing to submit his candidacy to
the vote of the people willing to say
and do anything, over and over again,
that will help put him back in the U. s.
Senate.
At Norristown, next day he said he
was not well, and spoke but few
words.
The Republicans of Erie county pro-
tested against Quay's going into that
county, ON the ground that this was a
Presidential and National election, in
which our effort and duty was to sus-
tain and re-elect President Mckinley.
and that Quay's going around the State
is in the interest of Quay and not in
the interest of Mckinley. In other
words that he would revive the Quay
and Anti-Quay feeling and do harm to
all other candidates, This opinion we
are glad to state prevailed in Butler and
the project of few to have Quay come
here to certain proposed meeting was
abandoned. The great matter on hand
at present is to uphold and re-elect
President Mckinley, and to this end the
effort of all Republicans should be
directed.
