the commonwealth and gradually
shouldered Don Cameron out of the
active leadership.
Then came the scandal of the state
treasury. The public funds on deposit
have always been regarded by politi-
clans in Pennsylvania as funds with
which they might speculate. This was
Undoubtedly the view taken by Colonel
Quay n various friends of his. 1t
was the view taken by John Bardsley,
the city treasurer of Philadelphia, who
was caught at it because of the failure
OF the bank, and who went to state
prison: A predecessor of Bardsley had
also shared the same fate. 1t was
charged that Quay had used the funds
for purposes of speculation. His an
swer to it was hat he was not state
treasurer. Money was lost to the state
and there was a great to do. Quay
became the center of the attack. 1t
was said that the state money lost by
Quay amounted to at least a quarter
of a million. 1t was also said that
Don Cameron. who was always a good
fellow, and out of his ample fortune

leadership in favor of Quay, Quay
had to fight for his very life.
Quay's subsequent course is charac-
~teristic of this audacious politician. He
had been accused of using state funds
for the purpose of stock speculation.
1t could no be successfully denied. The
