THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1898.
The trial of Senator Quay, his son,
R. R. Quay, and Ex-State Treasurer
Haywood, which was fixed for trial at
Philadelpnia or, the 12th inst., has
been postponed by the action of two
Judges of the Supreme Court, to whom
a petition was presented by Quay's 1
counsel, asking for a certiorari. This i
action is believed to have endangered
Quay's chances for re-election to the ]
United Stater Senate. Many Repub- i
licans who are opposed to him, hesitate i
about refusing to attend the legislative J
caucus, but now feel that since Quay
is dodging the issue, that they will be '
justified in such action. "No trial, no 1
caucus" say they, and if they have the '
courage to hold out and can find a |
suitable candidate for Senator, Penn
sylvania may be again represented in j
the United States Senate by a man 1
not under indictment for crime.
STATE EDITORS FOR FUSION.
Democratic Press Urged to Advise Its
Wisdom.
A called meeting of the executive ;
committee of the State Democratic j
piess association was held at the Com- j
monwealth hotel, Harrisburg, Tues-|
day evening. There were present P. {
Gray Meek, of the Bellefonte
''Watchman;" W. Hayes Grier, of the
Columbia "Independent;" J. 'V. '
Maloy, ot the Lansford "Record;"
Matt Savage, of the Clearfield
"Republican;" D. A. Orr of The |
Patriot, and Jere Zeamer, of the Car- j
lisle "Volunteer," its president. |
Messrs. Steel, of Ashland, and Elwell, j
of Bloomsburg, were unavoidably
absent.
Among other business transacted a
committee consisting of P. Gray Meek, |
W. FI. Grier and D. A. Orr was
appointed to report at the next meet- |
ing of the association to be held in j
that city on Friday afternoon, Decern-1
ber 30, at 4 o'clock, suggestions j
concerning necessary legislation j
touching ballot and tax reform. The
most important action of the meeting
was the unanimous adoption of the
following preamble and resolutions:
"In the judgment of this committee
the Democratic press of the state
should earnestly urge upon the several
Democratic members of the legislature
the wisdom of fusing with the inde
pendent Republicans, not only in the
organization of the lower, but in the
election of a United States Senator.
We are assured that by joining with
the independent Republican members
of the lower house such organization
will be effected as shall be helpful to
the best interests of the state, insuring
honesty in legislation, economy in
government and the frustration of the
schemes of lobbyists and 'pinchers.'
It is patent that a combination made
with independent Republican legislat
ors whereby the shame of Quay and
Quayism may be wiped from the state's
name and a fearless man devoted to
the interests and honor of this com
monwealth be elected to the United
States Senate will be beneficial to the
whole people.
"The efforts of senator Quay to
avoid facing a jury and there meet
the grave charges brought against him
shou'd have the severest condemnation
of the public press. Alike should the
demand of Mr. Quay upon his govern
or-elect that a dismissed official be
promoted to the most important office
within the gift of the governor be met
with emphatic disapproval. Tlierefore,
be it
Resolved, That the Democratic
editors who are members of this asso
ciation, as well as other Democratic
editors of the state, be requested to
use all proper means to secure such
fusion and union with the Republican
legislators and to advise and instruct
their several Democratic constituen
cies that the advantages of such fu
sion may be clearly understood and
approved by them; further, be it
Resolved, That we condemn the
action of Senator Quay in his effort
to delay his trial so that the election
of his successor to the United States
Senate shall take place before a jury
has had an opportunity to pass upon
his guilt or innocence of a charge so
grave as that of a conspiracy to com
mit larceny. Such a delay is not nec
essarily a confession, but it is an eva
sion which is not creditable to one
holding so high a position as that of
Senator and it is unjust to the people
of this Commonwealth. The only
fitting act that he can now perform is
to withdraw his name from considera
tion as a candidate to succeed himself.
" We deplore the decision of the
Governor-elect which will lead him to
send to the Senate for confirmation as
Attorney General the name of one
removed from his official position by
the present Governor because he had
entered into an ' agreement to unlaw
fully disburse the public funds' as
stated by the present Republican At
torney General. This insolent at
tempt to force the people of Pennsyl
vania to accept as its chief law officer
one who was dismissed from place in
disgrace deserves the condemnation it
has received from the independent
press of the State and should have
the unanimous disapproval of all Dem
ocratic and independent senators
when confirmation is solicited."

Catarrh Cured

Better In Every Way Elnco Taking
Mood's Sarsaparilla.
" For several years I had no cessation
of the suffering caused by catarrh. I had
a sense ot fullness in the head and ringing
in my enrß. One of my nostrils was
tightly closed so I could not breathe
through it, and I could not clear my head.
I tried several catarrh cures, but failed to
get relief. Seeing accounts of cures by
Hood's Sarsaparilla I determined to give
it a fair trial. After taking a few bottles
I was satisfied it had effected a cure, for
the catarrh no longer troubled me a par
ticle and I felt better in every way than
for years. lam now able to do a hard
