ator Quay viih leuuillatctl
at tin. poIIc ovci looks the fact that In

Aiitl-ijutiy vvn.s distinctly drawn and
publicly clinched eluiliiR the recent
.iiiiimlan. the Qu.iy I'unilliltttcH won.
,The Insurgent cdltois know thin. Mr.
Vuii:iniukt'r knew II unil tccoRtilzed It
by dropping out of the contest as soon
hn ho had heatd from Chester and
1jcIhw.uo. The pi cbent lamentations
of tln liiNtirttcni press are merely the
ninnireMatlop.s of fence of habit.
The telntlontdilp of Colonel Guffey to
this peculiar Innun cotton within the
HcriitbllcHii tanks appears to have
been one largely of personal nmuse
inent. Ilu seems to have found the de
tallh of co-operation In a Ilepubllcan
tow n moans of Interesting- pastime In
an otherwise unimportant role. As a
party manager he had nothing- to lose
and everything- to win. His little flock
of followers was Itihulllclunt to do
nnythlntr of consequence alone. By
Iveidlng- It Into the Insurgent fold he
no doubt anticipated creating a per
manent ruptuie In the Republican
camp and was willing to take his
chances on getting something out of It
eventually. Had fusion won. he would
have been In position to wield the whip
huiul. .Vow that It hns lost, ho Is no
worse or? than If It had never been at
tempted. The Insurgents are the only
losers. Hence the emphasis of their
howls.
Tin rats to keep up this family quar
icl aie futile. The people arc tired of
It and want peace. When a resoeet
ible reform leadership appears, ready
to urn- decent methods Inside party
linen, It will be balled with dellsht,
hut the common sense of the com
monwealth Is proof against attempts
to gold hi Ick It.

flore Street Signs Needed.
A COMMUNICATION has been
received from u prominent
real estate dealer, Mr. M. II.
Holgate, which brings out a
point of local Intel est. Mr. Holgate
writes:
"Theie is a matter I have been want
ing to have ventilated through your
paper. It Is In relation to the absence
of street signs ,tt the cottiers of the
"streets. Htr.mgeis come hete and wan
der through tins city and are very, very
much iinn(jc.l mid perplexed to tlnd
ceitaln streets they may be looking
tor; evtu poo, le living here In the city
.tie soiuetliiKK put to the Incouvenl
encu and aiiuoance of asking what
(street they are nit, It Is particularly
annoying to n'rntisers who have come
Jiv I from t.iwus that are up-to-date
and have the street signs at Inlersee
liout. of utitiLts. If l-100th part of tho
epcns of changing the electric lights
nom the position formerly occupied, to
a position half as high on the pests,
where It certainly ought not to be, had
been used In ptovldlng morn street
signs, this great need could have been
nut,"
An n soLond-class city Scranton
ought to celebrate Its newly acquired
majcfcty by letting the public know tho
names of Its thoroughfares.

West Point evidently regards mem

First Blood (or Reform.
THE FIRST. ballot rcfoim bill
to sec the light of day In
the present legislature was
Introduced In the sennto (it
Hartisburg on Monday night by Mr.
Fllnn, the accomplished Insurgent from
Pittsburg. Its Introduction wns pure

not the kind of huckleberry to push
reform to a crisis. He will rest con
tent with his laurels as the quickest
statesman to enlist In the present gen
eral assembly as teforin'a special
champion.
Mr. Pllnn's bill In detail would 1111
a page of Tho Tribune. But Its es
sential features are that It dots away
with separate party columns and cir
cles for voting straight tickets by re
quiring the names of candidates to be
run below the title of the respective
olllccs, name of the dominant party's
candidate first and every name for
whom tho voter wishes to vote to bo
marked with n oios; that It reduces
from 2 to I per cent, tho percentage of
qualified clectots required to sign
nomination papers: that It requires nil
ballots to be lodged with the prothon
otary Instead of with nn alderman or
justice of the peace; that It makes
much more severe than formerly tho
penalties provided for violations of the
election laws; that It requires tho
voter wishing to take a helper Into
tho booth to tnnko oath to his Illiter
acy or physical disability; and Hint It
makes It unlawful to give money to
be uiied for the solicitation of votes
or to pay the expenses of an elector
or to pay nn elector for services at tho
polls or to offer any kind of a reward
or Inducement to Influence a voter, or
to contribute money In any way to
ward the election of a candidate. Per
haps we ought to quote this prohibit

of such certificate It shall b the dutv of said
court and the district attorney forthwith to take
proper steps for the arrest and prosecution of the
person or persons to charged.
It Is difficult to Improve upon the
Phraseology of this schedula of prohi
bitions. If the reformers opposed to
Fllnn htivo a better proposition to ad
vance, they will allay curiosity by pro
ducing It early In tho session.
Tho exhlhltlon of hissing given by
tho military spectators at tho Booz
Investigation at West Point tho other
day Is another argument In favor ot
continuing tho good work until a cer
tnln egotistical clement of the nrmy
hns been Induced to come off the pe
destr.t. It becomes moro apparent dally that
tho Tuft commission has a better
knowledge of affairs In the Philippines
thnn thnt possessed by tho hysterical
anti-Imperialists at home.

Press Comments on
EI?cfion of QUay
An Astounding Victory.
I'rom the Philadelphia Times.
Matthew Stanley ejuay has won the motl
astounding political victory In the history of
American polities, and It was won In the fate of
a positive majority ol senators and representatives
elected by tho people to defeat him In his Mna
tmUl aplratlon. That the majority of
the legislature was chosen against Quay's to
i lection to the senate Is undisputed.
Senator Qua) 'a battle for rc-rlectlon to the sen
ate Is without exiniple In the history of our poli
tic. Ills term in the senate expired nearly two
)eaig ago, and the last legislature was charged
with the duly of electing his successor. Ho was
aided In his ilopperatc struggle by a prosecution
that never would hive been Instituted had clear
heads nnd honest Judgment decided the course of
action, lie was iimlcr Indictment when the legis
lature met, nnd the deadlock of the penatorshlp
ended on the day of aeljouimnent, when simul
taneously with the adjournment Quay was ac
qultteel by the Jury. He was then appointed by
the governor without warrant of law, and alter a
desperate battle his admission tn the senate was
defeated by n single vote, nnd by what his
friends reasonably claimed to have been the per
fidy of Senator llann). Quay then made bis ap
peal to the people of Penns)lvanla In the late
contest, and the result ol tho popular Judgment,
ns declared by the election of senators and rep
resentatives, was ii majority against Quay's it
election in both the senate and bouse, Ho has
thus wrestcil vlitory from the Jaws of defeat, and
his achieved one of the greatest triumphs record
ed In the annals of our political disputes. It was
Qnaj's own bittle and won by himself, but nt
what a cost tn hlnnclf and those who gave Mm
the victory tliu future must determine.
It Is a great personal triumph for Quay; one that
only Quay lould win and win for Quay; but
after the shouts of victoiy shall be heard only In
echoes amongst the poplo It may be gravely con
sidered even by Quny himself whether the victory
was worth the winning
Majority Hulo Vindicated.
I'rom the Washington Post.
The return to the United States senate ol Hon.
V. S. Qmy will maik the elownfall of one of
the meanest and must detestable conspiracies In
the hMoiy of American politics. Mr. Quay
stands lor tho principle upon which our political
Institutions are founded the rule of the mi-
jorlty. Up Is a stabvait nt every point. He be
lieves in party pohtlea-ln oiganlsatlon, In dls
clpline, and in harmonious party action. The
Mugwump iry of "bosses" elocs not affect him In
the le ist. The logic-il piojection of our free
Institutions ends in a "boss." There can be no
Mich tiling as government by party without lead
ers, guides, controllers, and these are "horses"
In the only proper meaning of the term. The
men who rise to positions of control; who secure
authority nnd the power of dictation; who are
trusted and commissioned by the rank and file,
are the appointed ihleftaitM of the political or
ganzhtlon they upreent. Mr. Quay Is one of
these one ot the most conspicuous and distlng
nUied. lie has been onrc cheated out of his
well-won place by ns xlclous a combination of
falsehood and hypocrisy ns wc have ever heard
of. Today he stands triumphant on the wreck of
the bac contrivances of Ids enemies bolillng
now-, ns lie Ins eve- held, the confidence, the
affection, and tho lojally of tho Hcpubllcan
masses of the great slate of Inns)lvanla. Wc
call for three cheers in celebration of this mo
mentous victory of Mtalght politics over humbug,
cant, and Impudent dishonesty. Surely no man
who believes in democratic principles nnd genu
ine impular government will withhold his eon
tiibullon to the loud acclaim wc here Invoke.
An Insurgent Wail.
I'min the I'hllidelphl.i North American.
The -election of M. S. Qu.iv to the I'nlted
States senate lias been accomplished, and I'cunsj I
vanli will again be represented at Washington by
a man wlio.-c mime is enotiimis throughout the
I'nlted States with cvir.vthliig tint is vile in poli
ties nnd bad in gowmivnt. The suc
cess of Quay, luektil by hc euginlzcel criminal
wealth ot Pennsylvania, in returning- himself to
tho United Slates riiatc eloes not end the fight
agulnst Qui)lsm. It does not even check It. On
the lontiary, whatever is honest and i lean and
pitriotic in the state will be inspired by this
ouliagr- upon tree institutions, this daring defi
ance of the veidlet of the ballot box, to renewed
ardor In the battle for better political conditions
in tills debauched and plllageil state.
The wart ire for emancipation of the common
wealth trom the. uili' of fife. -hooter calling them
selves Republicans must go on, for self-respecting
Americana cannot i on-cut to live under govern
ment by Quay without doing what they can to
throw off the degiadlug di'spotism. They would
lease to feel that they eleerveil the name of
Americans were' they to submit without energetic
protest to whit has been will dcGtilbeel as gov
ernment by tho criniinil rich and the criminal
poor In combination. Quay gon to the senate,
not in honoi, but tn udveitisc the means by
which he obtained Ids seat. And every day he
sits there will be a challenge- tn the brains and
character of the state to sweep away the felon
loiij pulitiCB but for which men of his kind could
have neither prominence nor power among us.
Will Be Fought to tho Finish.
Kiom the PhlhdcIphU Piei-s.
It Is a triumph of the lo, of boss methods
uml boss principles. Decent politics for the time
goes to the wall, and tho.se who have striven and
labored ami hoped for a better ei.i and better lie
ffuencer In Pinns)Ivaida political life must ac
cept defeat with what grain they may while they
gitlitr strength for a moio determined struggle
hereafter. 1'or, so long as the present machine
rule continues in I'cnnsvlvanla, there Is bound
to be an iirepri'sslble conflict between It and that
class of active Itepublicans who own tliemsehcj.
Kor them the rule ol the Quay midline has be
come so odious and Intolerable that mere self
1 1 spnt compels resistance to it. Tor Mr. Quay
himself they have a cvttain degree of respect.
His audacity, his resouicefulnrsa, his pertinacity
and Ids rare capacity for political organization
and leadership are winning qualities that compel
the admiration even ol Ids enemies. The ells
icpi.tablo eiowd ol uiaslt' and heelers with
which he ciinounds himself have done even more
than Mr. Quay himself to organize opponltlon to
tho rule of tho Quay machine. That machine,
In Its splilt and methods, Is without scruples,
without morals and without decency, nnd it will
be fought to the finish.
Opponents Lacked Leadership.
Fioni the Philadelphia Ledger
The weak feature of tin- opposition was Its lack
of leadership, and the impossibility 0f effecting
rest fusion between the Democrats and the anti
Quay Republicans, Theie was no single candi
date pitted njralnst Quay, and the opposition
could not Invo elected any one senator, even
though they hid held their lines Intact at the
outset ol the balloting. Any move to elect an
other Republican by the aid of Democratic votes
would have been the signal for a defection of
Democratic! votes to Quay, while an attempt to
agree upon a Demoeiatlc candidate would have
disrupted the Republican opposition to Quay. The
contest va really between Quay and a vacancy
In the United States ienatc, and, under these cir
cumstance, tho anti-Quay Republicans did very
well when they held foil) -nine of their number
tnio to their cause. As It slauils today, the
legislature Is ft better legUlatuio than It would
have been If the fight had not been mado against
Quay, and some goo.1 may come out of It by con
cessions made by the victors, or because of the
very slender majority which Quay controls In the
senate and house, even with the aid of the men
who saeilfleid their honor to irivc him.

a victory so barren of honor and achieved only
by the most gigantic corruption, all that tired
be said Is that he and his friends arc easily satis
fied. It is a victory achieved in corruption and
dishonor, such as only Quay would or could ac
cept. The commission by viituo of which he will
occupy a seat In the United States senate reeloj
with treachery, the betrayal of tiusts, and corrup
tion such as has probably never before stained a
senator's commission, except, possibly, that of
Clark, of Slontana, who was compelled to resign
to escape expulsion.
A Vindication of Regularity.
From the Wllliainsport Gazette and bulletin.
Senator Qus)'s signal victory Is not only a
personal triumph but It is a complete and em
phatlc v indication of the regular Republican or
ganization in Pennsylvania. It nuls the man
bunt; and It icl-gatcs the man hunters to polit
ical obscurity. The conspirators and the political
knaves, the character assassins, the selfish schem
ing leaders who have bounded men to death
and who sought to ilestioy S;nalor Quay's pri.
vate reputation aa well as bis political standing
have reaped the whirlwind and brought about
their own destruction. Politically, they arc dead,
dead !0)cnd tho hope of resurrection, nnd the
memory of their .'rime will be a stench in the
nostrils of Republicanism for years to come.
Right has triumphed ever wrong, the attempt ot
an iinsciiipulous minoiltr te, thwart the will of
the majority has failed and the seal of con
demnation has boon placed on such unreasonable:
tactics. Tho grrat mass ol the Republicans In
Pennsylvania have taken a uniform stand on tii.i
slelc of right, and the rejoicing over Senatw
Qiiayn victory will be as gencial as It Is genu
ine. There will be no more fartlcnal differ
ences in the party lanks. The so-called insui
gents mi'it lomo back into the party fold oi
get out entirely, for they will be powerless to
causo any further mUchief, The little Influence
they may have bad In the past has melted avay.
The Undoubted Choice.
Fioni tho Pittsburg "ommeiciabGazctte.
Colonel Quay was the undoubted choice ol
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, as evidenced
by tho votes of their representatives In two suc
ceeding legislatures, by the almost unanlmo.n
declaration of tho state convention and by the
volco ol the Republican pioss from one end of
the stato to the other, became ot this, as well
as on ncocunt of hu eminent unices to uur
countiy and our parly In yean pist, the Com-mercial-Garettc
espoused his cause and advocated
Ida election with no uncertain voice. Wo non
Join in the- acclamation of hi friends and con
gratulate bint upon his well-earned vittoiy.
Tho Fundamental Reason.
From the New- York Sun.
Matthew Stanley Quay Is again a senator of
Pennsylvania. He ha won against the most bit
ter nnd powerful opposition that a politician ever
faced and conriuerod. There will be many ugly
explanations ot his victory, but the fundamental
reason for it must be plain to all. It Is that the
vast commercial Interests ol Pennsylvania have
looked upon Sir. Quay as a safer and more valu
able representative to speak for them In the sen
ate than anv rival who could have been put for
ward by the opposition. Without this over
whelming forcp In politics, Quay never could
have achieved his victory.
A Splendid Victoiy.
From the Heading Times.
What a srlendld victory for ( olonel Qua) I
Pursued as he was with relentless antagonism
for a rtrlod cf six icars. his triumph In tae
of tho long crusade ol bitterness and hexstllity by
a rebellious minority Is all the greater. Noth
ing like It, In point of fierce opposition, ran be
found In tho political annals of this or any other
state. Dut tho attempt to defeat him lias stg
rally failed, as did the effort to disrupt the
party to which ho belongs. Fioni this time on
Republicans will stand shouldei to shoulder in
support of paity principles.
A Victory for Majority Rule.
Fr m the Elmlra Advertiser.
The will of the majority In lln Pennvlvaulj,
legislature ha prevailed and Slalthcw Stanley
Quay haa been ic-clected to the United States sen
ate. This is as It should be. Never before In the
history of the Republican party In Pennsylvania
had tho principle ef party icgularlty been so
sharply dollued. Notwithstanding the efforts of
party wrecker to nullify Ha provisions, right lu
triumphed and Colonel Quay is returned tn the
senate, as the majority of his party Intruded he
ritould be. He has fought a good light and u
hard one, and has won on his merits.
The Vnlue of a Cool Head.
I"! urn the Illngliamton Republican,
Mr. Quay has been lnoio talked about, perhaps
also more talked against, than any member of
the senate, That a man can rise triumphant over
personal attacks, and coino up victorious after
such an ordeal as Quay has passed through, shows
that the best qualification for success is a politi
cian is a temper that keep it poswor always
serene and confident under any load of adversity
or .ontu.ncly that can be heaped on bine.
