The Old Story of Trusted Employee and Fast I.lvlnif. CINCINNATI, Nov'. 10.—United States Bank Examiner Tucker has taken pos session of the German National bank at Newport, Ivy., and posted a notice that the,hank will remain closed pending an examination. Exainiuer Tucker also an nounced unofficially that Frank M. Brown, the individual bookkeeper and assistant cashier, won missing and that a partial investigation showed that Brown was short about $201,000. Brown had been with the bank 18 years, was one of the most trusted men ever connected with this uld bank, and it is' stated by the experts lhat his pecula tions extended back as far as ten years. The wildest scenes were witnessed iu Newport yesterday, and serious trouble is feared today, when the officers and di rectors will be confronted by people who hunted them in vain yesterday. Brown was living a fast life, with wine, women and gambling in his repertory. His ca reer was not cut short by any discovery at the bank until a jealous v.unian gave him away.

A POPULAR VICTORY. Dr. Snyder, of Cheater, Will Be Elect ed Speaker Pro Tew. of the Semite and Hon. William T. Muraliall. of Allegheny, Speaker of the Houae of Repreaentntl vea. (Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia, Nov. 20.—While the Democrats and assistant Demociats, the so-called insurgents, are making desperate efforts to create the impres sion that the supporters of Col. M. S. Quay will not have a majority in the Joint convention for the election of u United States senator, it is significant that they dare not make a statement in detail of the names of the men whom they claim are opposed to Col. Quay. The facts are that there is an un doubted majority of stalwart Republi can members of the state senate and the houae of representatives who were elected with the understanding that they would support Col. Quay, and this they will do. His re-election to the United States senate could only be prevented by wholesale bribery of the representa tives of the people. Men who value their reputations will have nothing to with the unscru pulous schemers who are now looking to the resources of a well known mil lionaire in this city, which they would like to have placed at their disposal for a campaign of debauchery, intimi dation and blackmail. The Republicans of Pennsylvania know who have been elected as stalwart Republicans, and attempts to corrupt legislators will meet with prompt and positive action 011 the part of the peo ple. A review of the situation in the state shows that there is practically little left of the insurgent movement outside of the Pittsburg ring of politicians and a few retainers who still to David Martin in this city. The Washington county machine, of which Congressman Acheson is at the head, is dependent upon the Allegheny county contingent for support In Achuaon's congressional campaigns. Their alliance with the insurgents in the contest against Col. Quay is quite natural. Two years ago Senator Quay was a candidate for re-election to the United States senate, in the contest at the primaries he won more than two thirds of the Republican members and cenators. in that legislature at the beginning of the voting for United States senator there were 112 regular Republicans, 87 Democrats and 54 in eurgents. The 112 regulars Included eight Republicans controlled by Magee in Allegheny and three subsequently controlled by Martin in Philadelphia, so that ii left only 10l regulars after these deductions were made. i'"oii MAJORITY UULJ2, These figure show that a comblna- ] tion of insurgent Republican.-* and j Democrat:: made 11 clear l-iajorlty In , joint assembly. 'I lie n*.:ular:; stood by 1 Senator Quay beci-use lit- h id biv-n in- ' domed by mere 1! ■ . ! v.f t|i I• -i i,f Rp publican votes. Ti —. sltu-il upon 11, rule of majority a:.;! tl.e 1 i-.-r.ilt was that the Insurgents and Democrats, not ' being able to come together, the legis lature was deadlocked and adjourned without the election of a United Stales senator. W For mo:"'''two years this state, with its f'"/J a half millions of peo ple, its ~ aterial and industrial interest■ ' .<» y had one senator In the upper branch of the national con gress. With this condition of affairs, thh Republican state convention met in Harrisbuig last April anil in its plat form announced Senator Quay as a can- ; •lidate for re-election. BACKED UY HIS PARTY. Tills is a quotation from the platform of the Republican *tate convention, adopted at Harrisburg on June 20.1900: "We deplore the action of the United States senate in denying us the right of full representation to which we are entitled under the fed eral constitution. We still contend 1 that the governor bail constitution al authority to make the appoint-, ment, and lu selecting the Hou. , Matthew "Stanley Quay he was act ing in accordance with the clearly ' expressed will of large majority of the Republicans of the state. We express our confidence in Senator Quay's leadership and we believe in his political and personal Integ rity. A great wrong has been done him. which the people will right at the proper tlma.and therefore wo thew Stanley Quay shall beacaudi- 1 thew Stanley Quay shall be a candi date for re-election to thtt United States senate. In which he has so long served the people with such distinguished ability and fidelity, and to this end we pledge him our hearty and cordial support." Col. Quay appealed directly to the people. He went before the Republi- I call voters in every county where there was u contest on the senatorial ques tion. The i«mt<. was made in such a way that It could not be misunder stood. and the election resulted fa vorably to his candidacy In altno.it every Instance. He made bis appeals in Chester. Montgomery, iilalr. Potter. Lawrence. Fayette. Westmorelanu, Franklin. Clearfield. Mercer and t'nlon. lie won 111 all of these counties.

Quay, aud yet on a direct vote the people sustained hla candidacy In a number of counties 1 andidates friendly to him were defeated bv a vary small plui'tllty, hut the returns show , Chat In Joint n**. inl'ly Oitnw w|ll i«e ItM Kept,l,ln aim. 11,1 luilius lUsuttfuUt* aud •»:* IH-tuut 14ts, making a luiul of :N The insurgents have elected 63 mem bers and senatom who will sit in, the next legislature. These figures give them more than they will probably get, but every doubtful man is placed in this list. Deducting this number from the to tal number of Republicans elected leaves 138 regular Republicans in the next legislature. All of these were elected either as direct friends of Col. Quay or were pledged togo into the caucus and abide by its decision. They were supported in their counties by the regular Republicans on the issue of party regularity and majority rule, and are pledged to carry out these instruc tions at the coming session of the leg islature. Under all these circumstances it would seem as though the contest had been definitely settled by the returns, but the band of party wreckers who have been attempting to disrupt the Republican party during the past two or three years are trying to steal some of the regular Republicans in the hope that they can reduce the number who will KO into the caucus below 128, which is the number necessary to elect, and thus prevent an election of United States senator, as they did two years ago. SIMPLY OBSTRUCTIONISTS. These people do not expect to be able to elict a senator themselves. The insurgent Republicans have no hope of this kind. They have only 53 votes; they will have only 53 votes in joint as sembly. but in joining these 53 with the 63 Democratic members and sena tors they hope, by filibustering tactics, to prevent an election. If they can tempt, by use of the large corruption fund at their hands, or otherwise, some 12 or 15 members who were elect ed on a platform of party regularity to disregard their instructions, sell their honor and their manhood to this band of party wreckers, they think they can delay the election of a sena tor two years longer. This is the whole contest now be fore the Republicans of Pennsylvania. It will not succeed, because there is a clear majority of regular Republi cans elected. The great mass of Republican voters throughout the state will not longer stand such methods. They will rise in their might and smite the small co terie of disappointed politicians who by such means are undertaking to defeat the Republican party of the state. In the contest at the primaries this year the insurgents won straight vic tories in only seven of the 117 counties of the state—Allegheny, Bradford, Bucks. Lebanon, Montour, Somerset and Washington. This is proof con clusive how weak the insurgent causa is when it is submitted to u popular vote of Republicans. They can only win in a few counties of the state on the main issue. In a few counties they succeeded by Joining forces with the Democrats. It is time for the Republicans of the state to end this controversy l»y plac ing tl.e seal of disapproval upon the methods of those loHtiura '.-lio, while pretending to wear Republican garb, ire all the time hobnobbing with the Democrats In order to defeat or dis rupt the Republican party. While the matter of the United States senatorship Is absorbing most attention naturally, tho ctuivassf for the election of the presiding officers of the »tatu senate and house of representa -1 lives is going on at a lively rate. The candidates agreed up. ;i t-y the stalwart Republican leadcts however, | have gulned during the wo k vi th'Te Is no doubt about the elei ton of Se»i ntor William I'.
