There is evtJvy »e.isoi. why a United States Senator should be elected by the Legislature before it adjourns sinr dir. Senator Quay is the nominee of the Republican party for re-election. He was nominated in the regular way, ac cording to party usuage. and re ceived (he votes of over two-thirds of the Republican members in the joint caucus. The Republicans who refused to be governed by the choice of the majority and vote for the party candidate, will be respon sible if there is no election and Pennsylvania is deprived of its proper representation in the Senate of the United States. Or, should an extra session of the Legislature be called by the Governor to elect a Senator they would be responsi ble for the expense to the State, viewed from the standpoint of their defection from the Republi can party, which alone prevents the election of a Senator at this time. —Franklin Citizen. The Lesson of Disaster. Philadelphia Times, Ind. The independent Republicans who have stood up determinedly against there election of Senator Quay, have suffered a succession of disasters in carrying their cause to the Republican people to win delegates to the State convention. After the sweeping vic tory they achieved in Lebanon, they sent their ablest men to campaign in Union, Lancaster and Blair, and the only reward they have is an unbroken line of humiliating disasters. I'veil in Blair and Warren which would natur ally be counted with the Independents the delegates have been won by the friends of Quay. The success of the Quay ticket in Lancaster was reasonably expected, although the Independents made earn est battle not only by mass meetings but by organized efforts in every dis trict, and they regarded Independent success as possible. Their defeat, how ever, is overwhelming, with a number of the most conspicuous of the anti- Quay leaders defeated in their own precincts. This result practically settles the control of the next State convention, coming as it does along with the elec tion of the Quay delagates in Butler and Montour, and the certainty of the success of the Quay ticket in Delaware. In politics the only success known is success, and the prestige will now be with the Quay leaders in the battle for the mastery of the convention, with Quay's friends controlling the federal patronage in all the Democratic coun ties where Washington honors and emoluments usually control the party organization. These important and potent victories achieved by the friends of Quay have not only disappointed the Independent sentiment of the State, but they have have surpassed even the expectations of the victors themselves, and there are two reasons why the Quay triumphs have been so general and pronounced. The devotion of the average earnest Republican is to the organization of the party. They regard the party interests as paramount to all questions of re form or to individual or factional suc cess. They are the active men of the party whose presence at the primaries can always be relied upon, and thous ands of Republicans have voted to maintain party organization and regu larity regardless of any preference on the Senatorial question. The Quay victories, as a rule, have been victories for the party organization rather than personal triumphs for the leader, but they count all the same in favor of Quay. Another reason why the Indepen dents did not present a strong cause to the Republican people is in the fact that thus far the Independents in the Legislature have appeared only in the role of obstructionists. It has not been their purpose, but they are judged by the Republican people by the attitude tliev maintain. They lost their mastery for the want of leadership when they gave away the organization of the House. They had the power with the Democrats to choose a Speaker, all the officers of the House and the commit tees, and the patronage they could tLu.> l.avu ww.'.otc.r.lly £ivcr. the Dem ocrats would have cemented the two elements to control not only legislation in the interest of reform, but to elect a reform United States Senator. This great opportunity that involved the certain and early success of the Inde pendents, was bartered away for a tew petty nlaees on the machine slate of the House, tins vital blunder gave the Democrats the on!'.' feeble excuse they have to offer for failing to vote for a re form Republican for United States Senator. Thus far the Independents have been apparently without purpose except to j oppose the election of Quay, and the ; people weary of mere obstruction. Al- j though the contest has been in pro- ' gress for nearly three months the Inde pendents have never yet presented a solid front on anything except opposi tion to Quay. Their votes have been scattered hither and thither in mere waywardness, and so far as agressive movements in either the Senatorship or legislation are concerned their actions have been apparently purpose less and their councils without the [ quality of achievement. If the Independents would not be overwhelmed alike in the legislature and before the people by the machine power they have so bravely assiled, they must present a united front in every step they take and assert them selves as a positive factor in everything pertaining to important legislative duties. The lessons of disaster are bitter, but when wise men are thus chastened they correct their own errors as the only hope of retrieving them selves and their cause. ALL AROUND THE COUNTY. Driftwood.
