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.
