Now Time for Unity.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Quay is
obnoxious to the faction that has
been trying to drive him into retire
ment, but the accusations of dishon-
esty have always seemed to be a des-
perate and not over-scrupulous form
of persecution, designed to accomplish
the special purpose in view rather than
to bring villany to exposure and pun
ishment. At all events. Mr.. Quay won
signal victory when his enemies pro-
cured an indictment and endeavored
TO eliminate him through the pro-
cess of criminal proceedings. And no
verdict Of jury was ever more widely
and enthusiastic ly applauded than
was the acquittal on that occasion.
Mr.. Quay took the whole matter with
philosophical compOsure and betrayed
no more excitement than does the most
tranquil chess player on checkmating
his opponent. Another element, IL
cluding large majority of the Eepub-
lican party in Pennsylvania, has be-
lievcd in Quay and stood by him
through all phases and incidents of the
struggle. To them his election Is
most gratifying, and throughout the
country there is widespread love of
fair play to which the result will he

vices for the Republican party, he is

in our political life, and he is sound

ferences, the act of the men mentioned
has lowered the tone of political NOR
ais in the state. 1t has strengthened
the impression that honor in public life
has sliding scale of self-interest;
that a pledge must not stand in the
way of personal profit: that man can
betray his party and live upon the
price of his perfidy, and finally that
the end sanctifies the means. Today
there Is abroad a sort of cynical in
difference concerning the success of
Senator Quay, based upon that false
and dangerous political maxim--"the
longest pole knocks the persimmons."

choicest fruit from the plum tree. The

built up largely out of rather disreput-

been so bad as painted. though never

He has kept down the brilliancy OF
the state and takes for a colleague
a Penrose. He goes to a national con-
vention with delegation which New

at, and Maine treats with Ill disguised
contempt. 1t is because of this prod

personal dislike of him as a man that
the people revolt and crlticise. He is

the fact that the politics of Pennsyl-

Majority Rule Re-established.

From the Elmira Advertiser.
The opposition to Colonel Quay had
been carried to such lengths that Penn
sylvania was practically forced to elect
him or abandon the right of the ma
jority to decide political preferences.
Twice had Mr.. Quay been the issue of
his party in that senate for the office
OF senator in the event of success at
the polls in the election of the legisla-
ture. Twice had he carried both Re-
publican branches of it by majorities
that would have been held conclusive
in almost any other state. 1t was not
so in Pennsylvania, and his progress
toward victory only intensified the Bit
terness of the fight made against him.
He was called all manner OF i'll names
his intelligence impeached, his personal
honor assailed and the state which had
harbored such a man for long term
of years and even sent him repeatedly
to the senate was stoutly urged to cast
him out forever as a byword and a
Kissing. The truth is that Mr.. Quay
suits Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania

and Washington and Indiana that have

commonly useful man in her service.
growing into power and efficiency with
each year of his service. Mr.. Quay is
far from being an old man, as our
modern senate reckons years. Whether
he shall retire at the conclusion of his
present term or seek further will not
depend on the boilers of the party.
They will never have it in their power
to oust him while the old guard is at
hand, as Ii has been for so many years,
TO follow it's leader to victory.

From the Towanda Reporter-Journal.


Colonel Quay's election ends one of
the bitterest and in every way one OF
the most memorable political contests
in the history of the state or nation:
and 1t ends in the overthrow of one of
the most shameless conspiracies that
mas ever disgraced the politics of our
state. When the full story of this
contest shall have been written as IL
promises to be soon, it will disclose a
record OF mendacity and corruption on
the part OF the so-called reformers
that Is almost incredible In its depray-
ity. The fight was d hard one and
Quay has won. He Is entitled to all
the glory which its successful termin-
alton brings him. He has had the
hearty support of those Republicans
who stood for the great principle Of
majority rule and adherence to caucus
obligations and the prescribed rules of
party government. Without these there
can be no such thing as a political
organization; and party progress and
achievement are alike impossible. The
insurgent leaders who have SO long
been plotting Senator Quays downfall
have shown themselves in this contest
utterly devoid of all semblance of
political honor. They call themselves
Republicans, but they have adopted
means and methods utterly destruc-
tive OF its principles and the partys
existence. That the attempt to depose
Colonel Quay from power had it's in
spiration and inception in the animos-
ity and selfishness of disappointed
place seekers is clear to all unbiased
and intelligent observers of state poll
tics. The movement against him in
stead OF being an effort for reform in
political methods had its beginning in
the effort Of disappointed and discon-
tented schemers who through II hoped
to gain power and profit for them
selves. 1t was a revolt built upon false

Insurgent Abuse Overdone.
From the Lancaster New Era


Whatever may be the opinion of
partisanS as to the fitness and claims
OF Colonel Quay to again represent the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the
senate OF the United States, the public
at large have cause for congratulation
that the bitter contest that has kent
the Republican party in almost a state
of anarchy for the past two years is
ended; that there will be no deadlock
in the Legislature to keep alive the
fire of factional bitterness and to dis
tract the attention of members from
the important business that will come
before them. To those who read be-
tween the lines it has been apparent
for some time that Colonel Quay was
not only holding his own, but was
gaining strength in Republican senti-
ment since his reelection was prevent
ed by the extreme methods of the Re-
publican malcontents two years ago.
There were two reasons for this. In
the first place, Colonel Quay was the
nominee Of the Republican conference
regularly called in accordance with
party usage, and the mass of the Re-
publican party believe in maintaining
organization as necessary to its per-
petuity and efficiency In its contests
with the common enemy; and hence
they regarded the violent extreme to
which the opposition as a warfare
against the organization OF the party
rather than as a protest against Quay
and what they were pleased to call
the machine. There were those who
had no special admiration for Colonel
Quay, no objection to having the place
filled by some other loyal and fairly
representative Republican. who be-
lieved that to encourage the tactics Of
those whom they regarded as party
wreckers' would be bad policy from a
party point Of view: and this senti-

Quay as a Senator.

From the pittston Gazette,
The return of Colonel Quay TO the
senate, contrary to come of his carping
disparagers, win be decided gain to
the public interests of the common
wealth and will insure representation
more efficient than any other which
could have been named. 1t is true that
Quay is not an orator, and 1t is also
true that the senate does not have
m sch practical use for orators. 1t Is
true that Quay does not belong to the
category of dress parade statesmen al

methods by his opponents. His election

ing exhibition of-whatever word the
reader likes in this connection.

Having Fun With the Parson-

A clerciai friend of mime told me capital story of Yale man who was the stroke oar of his crew and the chief ath1ete on the football field.
 He entered the ministry and spent years in missionary labor in the far west. Walking ore day thru frontier town, a cow boy stepped up to him and said.
 ''Parsou you don't have enozgh fun. Take dri1kI"
 The minister declined.
 We'll" he said, parsOn yo0 must have some fun. Heres faro layout. Take hand in the game"
 The minister declined.
 'Parson," said the cOwOOy> you'll die if you don't have some fun"
 And he knocked the parsons hat of his head and hit bim a whack on the ear.
 The old athletes spirit arose. the science which had been learn- ed in the college gymnasium and forgotten for a quarter of a cen tury was aroused, and a blow landed on the jaw of the cowboy that sent him sprawling into the street.
