a recurrence of the trouble that beset
him during the latter part of 1900 and
the early days of january. 1901. when
he was undergoing the strain of a des-
perate fight for reelection to the Senate.
The death OF Senator Quay deprives
the Republican party of one of its most
skillful political managers. AS chair
man of the national committee in 1888
he directed the campaign that put Gen.
Harrison in the White House. Senator
Quay's greatest triumph was his re-elec-
ton to the Senate in 1901 after the pre-
ceding session of the Pennsylvania Leg

State were pending against Quay, but he
was finally acquitted and sent back to
the United States Senate.

impossible ten years ago, when the ay

two things have worked transfer

the West; the farmers have become
conservative with prosperity. and the
railroads have widened the markets.
Five years of good crops in the West
have not only paid the debts, but have
also made the farmer capable of ON
ploying business methods A few
years ago a settler visited town only
once a fortnight or once a month. He
took home with him the county papers,
the few magazines that he received
and a large bundle of groceries and
cry goots. With rural delivery and
rural telephone all that is passed.
