" —Meadville Journal. The Only Real Evidence in the Quay Case. The opinions of leading I nited States Senators in regard to Senator Quay's ability, character and standing in the Senate, which opinions were printed in The In quirer of January 18, form the most important contribution that has ever been made either in the present contest or in previous ones to the discussion of Senator Quay's fitness for the high offices of Sena tor, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. Senator Allison said: "I know, esteem, admire and respect Senator Quay as one of the most honorable men I have ever known in public or in private life." Senator Cockrell said: "I have served with Senator Quay on the Committee on Appropriations for a number of years. He has never missed a committee, meeting and has always worked with great dili gence on the appropriation bills. He is an economist and has been a faithful guardian of the interests of the Treasury. He has never advocated an appropriation which did not seem necessary for the public interest; and he lias opposed and defeated many an item which did not have merit for its object. He is a frank, honest, reliable man in whom all Senators have com plete confidence." Senator Davis said: "There are some great, big, broad, honorable and masterful men for whom we can have not only friendship but sincere affection, and Senator Quay is that kind of a man. I know him through and through, and I know the superior fibre of the man. His counsel is sought by all Re publican leaders; his advice is al ways sound. On matters of national interest, such as appro priation bills, bis counsel is sought by Democratic leaders, all of whom have perfect confidence in his judgment and integrity." Senator Shoup, of Idaho, said: "If the members of the Legislature could only know in its entirety and worth the high standing of Senator Quay and his great influence upon legislation, not one of them could be whipped, wheedled or cajoled into voting against him. There is not a single member of the Senate who does not esteem him, and whenever Senator Quay wants to accomplish anything for his State lie finds responsive feelings in the hearts and minds of all his col leagues. I have often heard iJeni- Oc»" ,f i'' oa.y that they would as soon take Senator Quay's simple word as take the bond of other men." Senator Gray, of Delaware, said: "I know of no man whom I more highly esteem for his sincerity, in tegrity and lofty sense of honor. He is a great man and a very strong one.'' Senator Morgan said: "1 have known no better man on the lie publiean side of the Senate chamber than Senator Quay.'' Senator Vest: "He is one of nature's noblemen, one of the purest, noblest, most honorable men 1 have ever known."' Senator Murphy: "1 have come to regard Senator Quay as the I'm bobiinent <>f all that is comprised in the word gentleman.'' (n view of these opinions of the leaders of the Senate, does it not become the moral duty of every fair-minded Republican and man in Pennsylvania to write to Ins representative in the Legislature to condemn the character assassins by voting for Senator Quay? Some of the representatives have been fooled and played upon. Others are lacking in strength of character and need the support of their con stituents. Still others have the false conception of Senator Quay created originally by the New York free trade papers and borrowed by the Wanamaker press of Philadel phia for a scarecrow in the present contest, a conception which the interviews quoted show is no more like the real Quay than the schem ers who are trying to get his place are equal to the able public man whom they have grossly and vul garly slandered and vilified. The case isone that should appeal to the manhood of Pennsylvania, and we are mistaken if the response from the sturdy sons of the Com monwealth is not heard at Harris burg. DR.

(From our Regular Correspondent,) WASHINGTON, Jan. 23rd, 1899. President McKinley may be, in common with many other patriotic citizens, thoroughly disgusted with the game of small politics the Dem ocratic Senators, with five or six exceptions, are trying to play for the control of the 1 )emocratic party, with the treaty of peace; but he knows that they cannot injure him or the Republican party or the country, and that, although they can delay the ratification of the treaty, they cannot prevent it. The most that the obstructionists do will be to prevent the treaty being voted upon at ibis session of j Congress. In that ease an extra session will be called to ratify the treaty. Neither President Mc- Kinley nor the Republican lead j ers of the Senate, will consent | to the compromise offered by the ; obstructionists—to amend the I treaty by binding this government | to a particular policy towards the Philippines, i ''The right man in the right place," is the general Republican j comment upon Speaker Reed's J selection of Representative Payne, j of New York, to succeed the late j Representative Dingley as Chair- J man of the House Committee on Ways and Means and Republican \ leader. Mr. Payne has been in the House fourteen years and has long ranked as a leading member of that body. The vote on the Nicaraugua Canal bill was delayed until Satur j day afternoon, mostly by obstruc j tive tactics, when it was passed, I after having been amended, by a ; vote of 48 to Raymond's *7 59 2 59 *lO 40 Seven Bridges *8 11 *3 11 * 10 55 Colesburg *8 14 3 14 *ll 00 Frink's *8 22 *3 22 *ll 09 North Coudersport, 00 *3 31 *ll 20 i Ar. 8 36 3 36 11 30; Coudersport, 5 1 p.
