OUAYjN THE FIELD A Sketch of His Life Thought to Ik a Campaign Document THE PRESIDENCY TEMPTS HIM Knowing That tho Republican Candidate la Certain of Success, It la Thought That tho Senator Will Enter the Lists. Washington. 'Nov. 8. 'The political services of MaKhew Stanley Quay," U.'the title at a pamphlet without date, author's or publisher's name that U now ibelnc -wldtly circulated In this I'.'ty. It Is beautifully patten up with Imitation morocco covers and contains a handsomely engraved picture of Sen ator Quay, and a djzon pages of de scriptive "matter culojrlzlng him In the matt ardent terms. The pamphlet ds generally regarded as 'the opening gun In Senator Quay's fight for the presi dential nonriiiiiion next year and has exalted grtat 'interest. The first tatim-ation that his candi dacy was serious was contained in nn Interview with a p.ronvInent Pcnnfyl vairjan, raid ito stand close to him, which was printed in Chicago a week ago. Now (follows 'this pamphlet and the politicians are wondering what lit means. Following are some extracts from the pamphlet. They do not err on the side of modesty, but that was not to be expected from en'thusia-jtlo friends: ".Senator Quay Us one of the shrewdeft. ablest, most farljhted and successful pollMciians of 'the day. Indeed, It is a question if there 'Is another man in tho country who Is a ma'tch for him. "Cortl, serene, far-seeing and re sourceful, 'fertile 'in expedients, hold ing 'hla Impulses and h'is forces thor oughly in hand, fii'.-n as a rock and un quailing under either opposition or calummy, 'he has planned and carried to success, at tho head of 'the "Republi can eomraiictees, otate and national, campaigns doubtful and difficult, win ning by Ms masterful ability, these of Governors Hartranft and Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, and Henjamln Harrison as president. In the las case he clutched victory from almost certain defeat." , mocked tho Wilson Bill' "It was largely due to his efforts that the McKlnley Tariff bill beeame a law, and durln.tr tne great tariff fight of lav Mr. Quay effectually blocked tho pas sage of the Wilson Tariff bill until it was amended to protect tho great man ufacturing interests of Pennsylvania and elsewhere. "He will be remembered by all Chris tian people as the man through whose efforts legislation by congress was se cured closing1 the gates of the World's Fair on Sundays. One who had taken so prominent nnd active a part In pon tic could not have escaped violent criticism. Wo matter how correct his acts, with his strong and positive nature It was not strange that he should have made enemies and created antagonisms even among the timid of his own party. The fact that he has been ao long the master mind in Dolltics has made him a tartret for all sorts of criticisms, fixing him in the minds of the people as a very dif ferent man from his real self." . The last IS the onlv reference In the pamphlet to the attacks made on. Sena tor Quay which led to his retirement from the chairmanship of the Repub lican National Committee, and to the estrangement between him and Presi dent Harrison, In. view of the certain revival of these charges in case of his nomination, it is believed that he would not be a candidate If It were not certain that the nomination next year was equivalent to an election.

If Stoel Remains Dourer Hero Than There They Can Make Tinplate. Washington, Nov. 8.

An Immense Improvement has taken place in the steel trade, although as yet prices have not been enhanced to the came extent as In the states, and therein lies the hope of the tin plate makers, for if the price of steel Is augmented to that in tho United States, the Welsh man would havo no advantage.

It Is Thought That lie Has Little Chanco of Living. Columbus, O., Nov. 8. Last Friday Ex-Senator Allen G. Thurman foil from a sofa In his library and suffered an injury to his left hip, which was very painful at the time, but his physician found no bones broken, and though he suffered severely on Saturday, ho was better on Sunday, and It was believed that his strong constitution would en able him to stand the shock notwith standing lils great age. On Tuesday he was so much better that he wished to go to tho polls and vote, but at the advice of his physician he did not do so. ' Wednesday- he was much worse, and yesterday he fell Into a stupor, from which it is altogether likely that ho will not recover. His son, Allen W. Thurman, said at noon today that there waa little ground to hope that he will live more than a few days, and his death may oo cur at any time. Allen G. Thurman was born in Lynohburg, Va., Nov. 13. lKl:t, so that he will be 82 years old If he lives to next Wednesday.
