Had Quay managed McKinley's cam

Hanna had, Bryan would have been
defeated by over million majority
Of the popular vote and more than a
two-thirds majority of electoral col

Both have now gone to the city

man in some respects, but it will be

1900, captured and organized both
houses of the legislature and was fin
ally elected.
But the greatest victory he ever
achieved was in 1902 when he domi-
mated the state convention and nomi-
mated his relative Judge Pennypack-
er, for governor of Pennsylvania, over
his chief lieutenant, John p Elkln.
Elkin in the early part of the battle
was Quay's candidate and canvassed
the state to the extent of capturing
IL of 67 counties. Quay got the notion
that Elkin had time to wait and he
forsook him, brought out Judge Pen
nypacker and nominated him on the
first ballot. When the battle was
over, Quay calmly remarked, II have
fought my last and greatest political
fight. am the only Buffalo left on
the plains"
Marcus A. Hanna and Matthew
Stanley Quay were the two greatest
leaders the Republican party ever
had since their formation in 1854
Both were United States senators and
both field generals In presidential con-
tests, but in their political makeup
they were as far apart as the poles.
Quay was statesman. Hanna was a
partisan revolutionist, Quay fought
the force bill, an administration Re-
publican measure. Had Hanna been
in congress then, he would have
forced the Force bill through with all
the force methods mt his command.

Matthew Stanlev QUAY.

Matthew Stanley Quay, a great
statesman and a great leader in this
country and the greatest organizer
and politician in the world, is dead.
His death is a serious loss to the Re-
publican party, for there is no man
to be found anywhere that can fill his
place. His life ever since he left col
! lege in 1850 has been one of storm
and conflict For the past As years
he has held Office practically all the
time and he has more political vic.
tories to his credit than any other
man in the United States.
Senator Quay never lost a battle
for supremacy in his own party. He
could not elect Delamater governor of
Pennsylvania in 1890 because the tide
was against his candidate, but he
saved the state ticket, the legislature
and majority of the congressman.
Many times have prominent Republi.
can leaders like Wanamaker, Martin.
Magee, Flynn, Hastings, Warwick,
Porter and others risen up to over
throw him, but he not only defeated
them, but routed them, horse, foot
and dragon. In his contest for politi.
cal mastery in 1895 he was deserted
by hosts of ingrates, many of whom
owed their position and power en-.
tirely to him, and vindictively opposed
by all the power, patronage and prom.
ises of city and state administra-
tions.
1t was one man against multiplied
power with odds seemingly insuper-
able, and yet Quay won everything IL
sight, mopped up the floor with his
antagonists and allowed them to fall
into the rear of his procession.
There was a stubborn and deter
mined effort on the part of all his
enemies combined to overthrow him
when he came up for reelection to
the senate in 1899. They succeeded
in blocking his election for the time
being, Quay failing to receive a ma
jority of the legislature on joint bal
lot The legislature adjourned WITH

Stone Immediately appointed him to
the vacancy. His right to sit in the
upper house was challenged and by a
close vote the senate decided against
him. He went before the people in

went to the circus the other night af-

show, and fearing that thieves might
break in and help themselves he took
with him money and papers of value.
After the show while he was helping

they may rob with profit to themselves.
In moment his pocketbook was gone

This land is covered with showers.
Not downpour of water to deluge tho
earth,
But geutle falling of flowers
That rest like mantle over the forms
or heroes and patriots brave;
The men who SO freely yielded their
lives
Their much beloved country to save.
There never was such an army of men
To fight for so sacred cause;
And never a conflict like that was
fought
To maintain the might of the laws;
And never an army so quickly returned
To the farm and the Office and mill
When the battles were over and victory
won,
And of fighting they'd had their fill.
Though the wings of peace shade all
the land.
There's yet many an ugly scar,
And many a wound as yet unhealed
From that fratricidal war;
And many household still that
mourns
The loss OF loved ones dear,
And many more wifi have cause to
weep
In each succeeding year.

OLD LADY IS LIVELY.
At the Age of One Hundred and
 Five She Chops Wood.
Enjoys Her Pipe, Eats with n Relish and Ks Fond of a Choice Bit of GosSip-State of Maine Is
 Proud of Her.

The oldest person in Maine, if not the oldest in New England, is Aunt Lov- tcia Cox, of Harrington, who smokes a pipe, eats beefsteak and occasionally chops wood at the age of 105.
 Aunt" Lovicia was born in the town of bia, Washington county, on January 12, 1799. She has always lived in remote spots, far from town, and so has attracted little attention from the newspapers, but her great age is perfect ly authenticated by the town records of Columbia, and is we'll known to all her neiBhbors. She has only one daughter, her sole living relative, with whom she makes her home, this daughter being Mrs. Eliza Ann Shaw, aged 70.
 When a newspaper man went to call upon the old woman the other day he found her rocking herself vigorously in an old-fashioned chair and smoking, her pipe, while she read of murders and wars in one of the big newspapers.
 Seems to me there's an awful lot of murders and crimes and big acci- dents nowadays said she, compared to what there used to be-" When re- minded that the world moved faster now than in the days of her youth, and that there are more ways of killing peo- pie, Aunt Lovicia replied:
 'tWell, yes; I s'pose so. They drink too much ticker now, too. Why, they tell me that even the grand society ladies drink and smoke opium. When I was younger, most of them that was killed got shot in the war, but they don't have any wars wuth talking about now That last one of ours was an awful fizzle. Not much like the civil war that my old man went into. He died down there, on the way from Alexandria to New Orleans. Wasn't shot-no; just died. His name was James Cox.

 But the old boy spied three inches of leg sticking out into the aisle, and it didn't take him long to pull the lad out of his retreat.
