Will the editor of the local Quay echo
cet a postottlre If Quay shall win?
An Intolerable Programme.
The fteneral understanding among
Quay men is that If the senator shall
control the Mate convention. Judges
Wlllard, liee.ler and Ort.nl y will be
marked for daughter. The stvond rmy
be spared upon the condition that he
wilt vote for Qiray for state chairman,
but the current impression Is that the
other two would, under those circum
stances, have to go. Threats to this
effect hnve been freely made within the
p.ist fortnight, and In a number of in
stances by men of sufBoient promin
ence to Justify the suspicion that they
speak by authority. Sir. Quay will. It
Is explained,-redeem hit promises by
personally votlnsr for the present
judges: but the convention. If controlled
y him, will be "svt up" for their de
feat. In no other way couKl he gain
the vital point for which he Is cowtend
iwr namely, the mastery of thf state
organization through the suffrage of
a majority of the candidates.
It Is to th credit of Judge John Stew
art, of Chambersiburp. who has by com
mon report been named as one of the
two or three men likely. In a contin
gency, to be substituted for the gov
ernor's appointees, that he has within
a few days authorized the explicit an
nouncement In Representative Pome
Toy's fuper, the Franklin Repository,
that 'he is not a candidate for any place
whatever within the next convention's
gift. We dare say he too keenly appre
ciates the Impropriety of the threatened
dragging of the state's highest Judic
fary In the dust of heated convention
strife to wish to be a party to It, even
though promised a share of the spoils.
But his high-minded resolution, al
though characteristic of the man, would
not shame the Quay following out of
the predicted Indecency; for reports ars
numerous of unabashed local candi
dacies In various parts of the state
launched safely in the "hope of profiting
through negotiation on Aug. 28 with
Senator Quay.'
Developments during the nert week
or ten (Jays will undoubtedly confirm
The Tribune's original contention that
the senator's Indorsement of Judge W'il
lard was Insincere. It Is natural for
Mr. Quay to assert to the contrary;
but these disclaimers are singularly at
variance with .the bitter and sometimes
atitrolve talk of the Quay lieutenants,
both local and throughout tha state.
TWat these subordinates would Indulge
In such hazardous comment without
Instructions from 'headquarters Is .to be
Relieved only by the credulous; nor was
the senator's own Interference In Lack
awanna and Lujserne counties In aid of
the opn enemies of Wlllard arVl Rice
calculated to allay suspicion. Tet not
withstanding these rripoated disclosures
of Senator Quay's obvious Intent, we
cmnot believe that the Intelligent
masses of the Republican party In this
state will ever knowingly s-nt to a
programme, whatever Its origin, that
contemplate the use ot the Judicial
ermine as a weapon for the beating
down of political Independence or n an
otoua mechanism for the venting of
private tpleen.
If Quay should win, what would An
drews gt?
That $5,000 from Cameron.
The Quay organs are making a great
ado about a contribution of $3,000 made
by Senator Cameron to the campaign
fund last year. They allege that be
cause Chairman Ollkeson accepted this
contribution and used It In the cam
paign he must therefore have been a
Cameron man, and that when he now
declares himself opposed to Cameron
he Is lnoonalatent. Mr. Gllkeson admits
having received audi a contribution
from the senior senator, but denies hav
ing used It specially in senatorial dis
trict In the latareot of the eenlor sen
ator. There are mdriy wealthy Re
publican In the state who In every Im
portant palMlcal campaign make lib
eral contribution to the party' fund,
but In most case these contributors
re actuated by unselfish motive. They
contribute of their mean because they
are Republican and denlre to see lielr
party uocessful Senator Cameron'
friend claim that hi hist year" contri
bution utm not Intended; to be for the
benefit of . the Republican party, but
"was to b used solely In the Interest of
Senator Cameron. TM Is, Indeed, a
poor tribute to the (Republicanism of
the senior senator.
It recall an Incident In the Haye
lection In 1878. It Is vividly remem
bered ithat when President Hayes of
fended Mr. Cameron by declining to
make certain appointment he demand
ed, Mr. Cameron published io the
world the, fact thai at th rery begin
alnf of the famous campaign In 187
be sent to Haye a check for $5,000 to
pay his personal expense. 4 It was well
known that Hayes bad, '.at about the
time he was nominated (for the presi
dency, become entbarrasfed ftnandally
try- WMxyseted, losses. Wbem bo ao j
cepted Cameron's check he little
dreamed . that ha was expected. If
elected president, to permit Mr. Cam'
eron to control all the federal oftlci'S
In Pennsylvania In exchange for the
$5,000. Mr. Cameron thought he was
buying some hundreds of ofllces for his
friend. Hayes had his eyes opened In
due season and offered to return the
money to Cameron, but the latter re
fused to accept It. perferrlng to take
his revenge by publishing the fact that
he had paid Hayes' personal expenses
In the campaign.
IVe appreheud that IMr. Cameron will
not gain much by his present posing as
a $5,fW0 contributor to last year' cam
paign fund. The fiat that he made
the contribution for his e.vn personal
benefit and not for his party, only
places Mr. Cameron In a worse llgiit
thJii he would otherwise have ap
peared. 'Mr. Cameron dues not appear
to advantage In this fight.
While the defeat of Mr. Ferris for the
Judicial nomination In Lucerne Is nat
urally a disappointment to his friends,
It was manifestly a fair one, entitling
the victor to a united support". George
S. Ferria is not the man to sulk In his
tent.
The Figure.
In another column on this page ap
pears 0 carefully prepared resume of
the state convention situation as now
presented. The article la from the
l'hlladelphla Press, and deals solely
with facts and figures, such as cannot
be waved aside ly the Quay shoutera,
but must bo met with facts and figures
showing contrary conditions. It is
clearly In evidence that In spite of the
roverek-s In several counties last Sat
urday the administration has a highly
encouraging lead, and cannot possibly
be beaten unless there should be an un
expected "slump" of the Hastings
forces In Philadelphia, sueh as is not at
all likely to oovur. As will be seen by
reference to the tabular statement, only
two of the counties In which the dele
gates remain to be chosen are claimed
by the administration. These are Ly
coming and Lehigh; all the others are
in advance conceded to Quay, al
though It 4s not certain he will carry all
of them. But should Quay carry all
the counties excepting Lycoming he
would, still lose the convention unless
he mnde a serious break into the Phila
delphia delegation.
All the bluster and boasting of the
Quay organs and shouters amount
to nothing in the light of facts and
figures. The Tribune does not claim
that the battle has been won, but we
repeat what we have said before today
that the battle will be decided In Phila
delphia, where every Inch of ground is
being contested, and where Senator
Quay h confronted by his own former
lieutenants, whom he so carefully
trained In the peculiar arts and tricks
of which he Is master. In Philadel
phia It Is Quay methods against Quay,
and there is where he will meet his
Waterloo. We trust no reader will fall
to carefully ponder the article from
the Press above referred to. It shows
what the real situation lsv
''Governor Henry M. Hoyt waited too
long before throwing off the Quay-Cam-eiron
yoke to save his administration
from humiliation and shame, and he
went out of oflice a broken man who
felt that ho had not done his duty either
to himself, to his state or to hi party.
General Hastings doe not propose to
lake such risks. He declared his inde
pendence at once and the people will
honor him for It.
Will There Be Treachery?
The Quay faction has not elected
enough delegates up to this time to con
trol the state convention, yet Quay and
his partisans claim that they have won
their victory and will have a majority
In the convention, even though they
lose everything In Philadelphia. This
claim, if made In sincerity, must be
based on the assumption that delegates
elected In the Interest of the Hastings
administration will turn traitor and
support Senator Quay. We do not be
lieve that there will be any such. If
there should be the hand of every hon
est 'Republican in the state will be
against them and ready to place the
brand of traitor upon them. A victory
won by such methods would in the end
he fatal to the men who gained tempor
ary advantage by them.
The 'Hastings adherents have fought
their battle from the beginning with
but one object In view, and that was
the defense of an honorable, honest and
fair fitate administration elected by an
overwhelming majority by the Republi
can party. The head of that adminis
tration. Governor Hastings, recognized
all factions of the Republican party In
his appointments and endtavored by all
the menns at his command to have the
constitution of the- commonwealth
obeyed and respected. In two respects
the governor offended Senator Quay:
First,, he w.ould not permit the senator
to dictate all the appointments to of
fices In the state government. Second,
he Insisted that the legislature should
obey the mandate of the constitution
and pass apportionment bills that
would give the people' equal representa
tion. This was the sum and substance
of the governor' offending. Senator
Quay declared war against the adminis
tration and the governor took an appeal
t the people.
Except In the cltlea of Philadelphia
and Pittsburg Quay has nearly all the
experienced machine politicians, and
consequently the Machinery of the
party, at his command. He ha had
large sums of money to use, and he ha
had tha men who knew how to use It to
the best advantage. Moreover, he ha
had the support or nearly the entire
Democratic press of the state and In
many district the corrupt elements In
the Democratic party have carried dele
gate election In his Interest. But not
withstanding all these advantages It I
apparent that Senator Quay today de
pends upon assumed treachery of dele
gate elected In the interest of Hastings
to carry the atate convention.
A correspondent writing to The Trib
une from Montrose says: "The Repub
lican party of Susquehanna county Is
opposed to Quaylstn and Cameroniam,
and The Tribune was right when ft so
declared. Tho administration was de
feated In the election for delegates to
the state .convention because Governor
HasUais vetoed the Hardenberg bill
providing for the payment of the Erie
rallsoad bonus to to th county trwuv
urtes of Su3)ttehanna and Pike. That
io took $,000 aauually out of our
county treasury, an j our people woe
hut uni!?r the collar on account cf It.
Sam Wright, Quay's right bower in
this county, used that card for all It
was worth." Our correspondent may
be right; but a county that pays only
$10,000 Into the state treasury and ve
ceives about $80,000 cut of vha treas
ury every year has no good excuse
for calling for more.
In the summaries of delerntes elected,
published In a number of th-? Quay or
gans. Democratic and Reuubllcan, two
of the Lackawanna delegates have been
constantly claimed for itmy. i-y iiu.
ence to an article hi th; local columns
of this morning's Tribune It will be seen
that the deletes themselves have put
an effective end to such fraudulent
claim by attaching their names to
resolution declaring that they will
stand by Governor Ilakiiiigs u.l
administration. While sueh action was
not at all necessary, the delegates be
ing Republicans of honor and intu.-grl-ty.
It Is creditable to them that they
have branded as it deserved the impu
tation sought to be put upon them.
The anti-Quay Republicans of Wyom
ing county will naturally pay no atten
tion to the revolutionary action of the
cihalrnvan and secretary of the county
committee in calling another conven
tion to elect a delegate to the state con
vention. This call for a second county
convention Is wholly without authority,
and 19 only one of the reckless resorts
of Senator Quay to override the party
and place himself in supreme control.
Let the Hastings supporters of -Wyoming
Ignore this revolutionary action and
have nothing whatever to do with the
primary elections. Such methods will
kill the men who resort to them.
The Linden Street bridge Is approach
ing completion and it will be a really
fine structure. Whether or not the
bridge will bo of practical service when
completed will depend oh securing a
lroper approach on the West Side.
There need not be much worry on that
point, however. A valuable structure
like that bridge will not remain un
used for the want of proper approaches.
The true character of the Quay bosses
In Susquehanna county Is revealed in
their loud threats ot vengeance upon
those Republicans who lately exercised
their constitutional prerogative of own
ing their own minds. But, after all,
probably 'the quickest way to get irld of
flatulent leaders like Little and Wright
la to let them puff up until they burst.
Corbett, the pugilist, was here yes
terday and drew a larger crowd than
did Senator Quay when he visited the
city recently. And Corbett did not
have to send out requests for persons
to call, either, as the senator did. There
was no Susquehanna delegation, how
ever, to see Mr. Corbett.
The Quay "Lexow" probe doesn't ap
pear to be exciting any great tumults
In Philadelphia. As a factional weapon
Its point, since the announcement of
Quay's attempt to pull Martin off, has
been very much dulled.
Those who don't like the manner In
which tha Scranton base ball club Is be
ing managed need not attend. Staying
away would be Infinitely better than the
disorder of an unruly audience.
The Republican party in Pennsylva
nia la believed to be much too intelli
gent to decree an era of redoubled poli
tical autocracy In its councils.
The iMcLean plan of a non-partisan
bench, as exemplified In Luzerne, evi
dently contemplates a bench which I
politically all one way.
The Unden Street bridge might, with
proper preparation, be utilized a a roof
garden.

the returns are slow miicV mostly Indell

It Is now said that Secretnry Cnrllsle

pointing H111 n tor Lindsay, of Kentucky.
to tho aupreiiii. court bench, thereby ore-

Hon. William 1'hler Hensel has been
heard from. He agrees with Hon. Ch inn-
cey Ulack thnt the Democrats will carry
Pennsylvania this year. Now Chair man
Wright should put In his prediction.
Wenever a vacancy occurs on the su
preme court bench Mr. Horn blower, of
New York, feels that there tuny b one
more chance for him. He should make his
peace with Senator Hill.
Judge John H. Stewart, of Franklin
county. Is said to bo still in the field a a
candidate for the Superior court. I Is
supposed to be quietly encouraged by Sen
ator Quay.
The Democrats of Missouri, in stnte con
vention UHxetnblod, committed themselves
to freo silver colnuge. The Democracy of
Missouri swear by Silver Dollar Wand ev
ery time.
Kx-fongresoman Hrecklnridge rises to
remark thnt he Is muklng more money
now than he ever did tn polities, and will
remain in private life. No one objects.
The Pottsv'llo Miners' Journal predicts
that Quuy will be elected chairman of the
state committee by acclamation. That
may he culled political hilarity.
State Senator Vnperman, of Allegheny
has been made the defendant In a J2'i.O0O
suit ror damages ror defamation. The
suit grew out of politics.
For some reason the Democrntlo organs
In other states do not share the exalted
opinion of the Pennsylvania organs con
cerning Senator yuay
Henry Waterson snya It does not make
much difference whether Clevelnnd wants
another term or not; he cannot gat it.
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Tho Post uro of Quay.
Lancaster Intelligencer: "The posture
01 our way, as a reformer, seems runny
to people outside the state as well as In It.
Our senator enjoys u reputation that is
national; apparently it is not one as a re
former. Stll, ns the New York Sun says,
there Is no prohibition In. thn constitution
of tho state or nation against his npiiear
Ing us one. H no doubt is odd but there
fore is the nttltude more Interesting, Our
Quay Is nothing if not bold; and never
stops to think about the pleturesiiieness
of any posture he wants to take. We shall
never bo surprised at any somnambulistic
feat he mny display in politics, ns he ts
lust the nun to run to a fire In his nlcht
shirt or take a running jump over a quar
tette of political elephants; as he under
takes now to do; ami does not hesitate to
steal the springboard of reform for the
emergency.
Putting Quay Above the Party.
Juniata Herald: "Constitutional obli
gations were whistled down the wind, and
tho only fealty inculcated or thought of
wus that to Sir. QUHy, whoso sovereignty
In tho party was threatened or thought to
be endnered, and whom It was their first
duty und highest ambition to strengthen
at ail hazards."
What Are. the Democrats Prntnlsod?
Norrlstown Herald: "Is Senator Quay
also promising the Democratic editors
postoltiees and other federal positions?
He has no more ardent workers and sup
porters. They know thnt Hustings' loss
will be their gain, and perhaps this mny be
all the reward they desire for their pres
ent services."
They Don't Care.
Chicago Record: "Judging from the un
plensant character of some of the re
marks lately made In Pennsylvania many
of the politicians In that state don't much
care whether .Mult Quuy breaks his si
lence or his neck."
