NOTHIWO we oonld say ought to add to
the force of the official record of Senator
Quay's absence from his official duties, as
presented in an extended article elsewhere
on this page. It is a record that should
made his re-eleotion an impossibility. To
Senator Cameron the Senate is merely a
club house where he may meet other mil
lionaires and where he considers he has
done his whole public duty when he has
made his usnal weekly motion on Thurs
day that the Senate adjourn until the fol
lowing Monday. To Senator Quay it is
merely a convenience for office brokering,
where his henohmen from Pennsylvania
may meet him and intrigue for his own re
eleotion or tkeir appointment to fat
positions. Now is the time for the Repub
licans to determine if they want sir years
more of such misrepresentation. —Sharon

Pennsylvania in The Senate.
Senator Quay's record of absenteeism is
one which plain people are inolined to pon
der on. The Senator will have drawn
$30,000 from the Federal Treasury when
the six years of his term are completed.
The sessions of Congress cover about twelve
months in each two years—that is about
half the time. Of this half time Mr. Quay
has been drawing SSOOO annually for
services covering one-sixth of the year.
And what are these services for the dis
obarge of which the Senator finds one
sixth of a year amplef. What h.s he done
for his country, bis State,or bis party sinoe
he went to Washington? What important
measure has be introduced, advocated or
materially assisted through the Senatef
There is not a single one. Some private
pension bills and measures of so little im
portance as to paas by unanimous consent
and without debate may be credited to
him, and one sterling Republican measure
—the bill to seoure fair election*—was de
feated by him, but for the rest he drew his
pay,seoured offices for several of his friends
and workers, and then weut fishing.
When the McKinley tariff bill was before
the Senate in the Summer of 1890 it was
amended ao as to afford less protection to
several products in which Pennsylvania
was largely interested. No other State
suffered materially by the Senate's dis
position toward lower rates, because every
other State had a Senator competent to
defend the interests of bis constituents.
Pennsylvania had none. Both Messrs
Quay and Cameron sat, when
and helpless while Pennsylvania's speoial
interests were attacked. This humiliating
condition of things can and must be
changed by the people seeing to it that
this State nas at least one Senator who
can take his place in debate and show
oause why if reduotious must he made in
any tariff bill they shonld not be made, as
in 1890, solely and wholly at the expense
of Pennsylvania.—-Philadelphia Press.
The Record they have Made.
Every opportunity has been given to
both the Pennsylvania Senators to build
themselves up in the public confidence as
men of public usefulness and reliability.
But everybody knows what kind of a rec
ord they both have made. Pennsylvania
is compelled to turn her face to the wall.
Her representatives on the floor of the
Senate are universally regarded as men ut
terly out of place, of no praotioal use to
their State, their party, or the country.
The greater portion of their time is devot
ed to the conduot of practical politics, the
petty affairs of the machine, to setting up
delegates, controling conventions, and so
distributing and controling the spoils,
State and Federal, as to promote their own
personal interests and those of their most
subservient followers and henchmen. This
is the simple, albeit unpleasant, story, the
plain truth which no intelligent man
will for a moment question.—Philadelphia

The "Eagle's" Snake Story.
It is yet too early for fish stories but
the warm weather of late brought
forth a few snakes and our esteemed con
temporary took advantage of this fact, last
week, to soar to the altitude of snake liter
ature, and drop a story which, for
insiduons prevarication, has seldom been
equalled and never surpassed.
The story is entitled "The U. S. Sena
torsbip," and to its major premises which
describo the ground the snake crawls up
on, its surroundings, it's opponents, and
the air it breathes, we take no exception,
bat when it makes all these to imply that
the snake itself is an angel, wo enter a pro
test.
The major premises referred to aro that
United States Senators should be elected
by the direct vote of the people, which un
doubtedly is true, but the amendment to
the Constitution so providing will never
pass the Senate so long as its majority
consists of Camerons and Quays; also that
United States Senators Bhould be re-elect
ed if they ably and faithfully discharge
their duties. That is true and the state
ment should,at least,include Congressmen.
Let us quote from our esteemed contem
porary:
"Where a Senator ably and faithfully
discharges his duty, representing his State
with fidelity to all her great interests, it is
unusual to displace him after the service
of but a single term. His acquired exper
ience and influence have become so valu
able and essential to the interests of his
state that Bound policy dictates that a
change should not be made. In lookiug
over the United States Senate to-day am
ple illustration is afforded to show that in
nearly every State the policy is pursued of
sustaining the interests of the State by
fostering the influence and experience of
their Senators through re-eleotion."
That is good doctrine, and here is a
question to the point: Do either Senator
Cameron or Quay "ably and faithfully
discharge their duties, and represent the
interests of the people of this state in the
United States Benatef And on the contrary
is not their absenteeism indifference and
inability a matter of continual public com
mentt
The article goes on to state that Quay
was not a candidate for re-election and
that his friends had him announced only
after another man had the temerity and
presumption to announce, which shows
that his friends here knew what was ap
parent to almost everybody months ago,
and that was that Quay expected to slip
back into the Senate as surely and quietly
as Cameron did, and by the same tactics;
and they are so provoked at Mr. Dalzell's
candidacy as to pronounce it "ill-timed
and uncalled for." Silence in this matter
means Quay, with endless trickery, scan
dal and defeat; and the movement for
Mr. Dalzell is a substantial and not a
"poor compliment to the patriotism, intel
ligence and integrity of this great, solid
Republican Party."
We quote again:
"The new party has but a single plank
in its platform opposition to Senator
Quay." The presumption of Cameron and
Quay, and their lieutenants has always
been shown by their regarding any more
ment for a caudidate, or polioy other than
tbeir's, as being outside the party, or by a
"new party." How soon they will be
forced* to understand that outside of the
"Ring" and those who look for political
"pap" through the "Ring"', the Republican
party is composed of intelligent and im
partial voters, who will in this matter, not
allow any whoop and hurrah to gain their
votes, but will carefally consider the mat
ter and vote as they please. If they oon
(ider Quay a Senator who has shown hon
esty, integrity, and ability, and whose po
litical methods they can conscientiously
endorse, he will get their votes. But the
Qaay and Cameron gang cannot bulldoze
them into thinking that the Republican
party in this state it but their possession
and that any movement against their can
didate is a "new party." The corporation
of Quay and Cameron is a close one; ac -
knowledged so by Quay's best friends here,
and represents a personal favoritism in
this state, not the Republican masses.
When Cameron is in his seat it is to help
his Southern friends; Quay is but his first
lieutenant and Quay's re-election means
Cameron's re-election four hence.
Let us quote further:
"Mr. Dalzell is a young gentleman of high
social standing, a good lawyer, and especial
ly a good corporation lawyer. It was Mr.
Dalzell's good fortune soon after his ad
mission to the Bar to be received into a
partnership with Hon. John H. Hampton,
one of the ablest members of the Pittsburg
Bar,and solicitor of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company. For years the interests of
that great corporation were ably protected
and defended oy the firm of Hampton <fc
Dalzell. As junior partner in this firm the
burden of office labor, including the pre
paration of cases, devolved upon Mr. Dal
zell. With this opportunity Mr. Dalzell
united his ability, energy and untiring in
dustry to become master of the most pro
fitable branoh of his profession. To his
credit be it said, during all the years of his
professional life he devoted himself as
siduously and exclusively to the duties of
bis profession. He bad neither time nor
inclination for anything else. He was a
lawyer and did not aspire to any other dis
tinction. Within the walls of his office or
in the Court room he might always be
found."
Could anything be more complimentary!
However, Mr. Dalzell is not a "young
gentleman." He is a man of middle age,
has served two full terms in Congress,
and is now serving his third—not
the "single term" as stated by the ar
tiole. If bis mind was trained in the nar
row grove of a specialty, how account for
the leading part he has taken in Congress
from the very beginning? He was made
Chairman of the Committee on Elections
and exposed Southern frauds in a series of
unanswerable arguments, and unseated
several illegally elected Southern Con -
gressmen. It is but a few days since bis
splendid defense of Col. Andy Stewart, of
the 24th Congressional Dist. of this State
was quoted all over the North. Sinaa he
was elected to Congress he has almost en
tirely neglected his legal business. If he
is hide bound in his servility to corpora
tions as the story would have you believe,
why was it that he took a leading part in
stopping the $3,000,000 "steal" of one of
the Pacific railroads daring the last Con
gress, and on the other hand, if Quay is
an enemy of corporations, as the story im
plies, why is it that he secures free cars
for himself and party, all over the conti
nent, and why is it that he and his gang
about Harrisburg have always favored the
Standard Oil 00.
Onr contemporary is correct when it
says that the House of Representatives (at
Washington) is the training school for
(National) Statesmen; and-let us ask what
experience Cameron or Quay had in itT
Hone, whatever. Cameron was a Bank
President and Railroad Director np to the
time a servile Pennsylvania Legislature,
at the dictation of the Senior elected the
Junior his successor; Quay had been Pro
thonotary of Beaver county, member of
the Legislatuie, private secretary to the
Governor, Recorder of Philadelphia (an
office especially created for him with an
immense salary, and since abolished), and
State Treasurer, none of which offices gave
him any experience in National affairs.
He has been in office ever since he was a
boy; tho only State office he was ever
elected to waa State Treasurer, and if his
putting himself forward at that time was
not for the purpose of "keeping the lid on"
then the specific and detailed statements
published a year or two ago were lies and
the skies should have rained libel suits.
Our contemporary asks why Dalzell is
put forward, and several other worthy
citizens of the state, whom it mentions,
"entirely ignored," but it fails to mention
Galusba A.. Grow, whose public services in
the House of Representatives at Washing
ton, as a member and as Speaker, entitled
him to promotion to the Senate, ami who
aspired to the office time and again, but
was always "entirely ignored" by the same
servile crowd that now follows Cameron
and Quay, and will continae to follow
them, though they rote with the
Democrats, when in their seat 3, to the end
of the chapter. Grow's candidacy was
always "untimely and uncalled for"
though he wa« the equal of John Sherinau
on financial questions and was without a
peer in this State.
The remarks of our contemporary con
cerning"rings"aio too amusing to be consid
ered seriously; Mr. Magee.the leader of the
Pittsburg ring that it talks about, is one ol
Quay's bosom friends, and sat in Court
with him during the jl ate libel, suit
there.
Its remarks regarding Quay's military re
cord also, are misleading; Quay was in the
service but a few months, resigned his
commission before the battle of Frodricks
burg and, as we hare always understood
witnessed that battle as a spectator on the
General's staff. Ifthatisnot correct we
will bo pleased to be corrected and give
him credit for being nnder fire for that out'
time. Everything else being equal, we
always support the soldier candidate, but
we will not support a man for re-election
whose unfitness for the trust ho holds has
been proved, because a short and safe
army service entitles him to wear the
button.
He may have done good service (or bad
as you look at it) in Xew York city in
1888; money was showered upon him, at
his solicitation, from all parts ol the coun
try, and it is to be presumed that he made
the same use of it that the ward politician
usually makes of money in city elections.
That he is a cunning politician nobody de
nies, bat his politics, are not good politics
as they tend to make this government out
of money, by money and for money.
To continue him in office, is to continue
to sacrifice "the i nterests of the state."
We need a change in this office and will
not go wrong in supporting John Dalzell,
whose character is attested to by hi»-
neighbors and prominent business and pro
fessional men of Allegheny Co., in a whole
page of interviews published Wednesday,
and whose public record cannot be criticized.
The greatest difficulty he will encounter
in this campaign is his lack of personal
friends over the state, and this he refuses
to overcome by leaving his duties at Wash
ington, where he and Tom Reed and one
other Republican, whose name we do not
remember, are holding up the Republican
end of the Ways and Means Committee—
the most important of the House,
That Infamous Agreement
At the Congressional convention of 1888
the delegates of Butler county supported
the nominee of Beaver county; and Mr.
Townsend was nominated and elected.
The nominee of Butler county, at that
time expected a return of the favor ho bad
extended to Beaver county, aud was not
only disappointed in that, but during the
Phillips—MoDowell contest of 1890 the
following agreement, which is a sample ol
Quay's politics, was made public.
"It is mutually agreed that A. McDow
ell and his friends in Mercer county are
to support the candidacy of C. C. Town
send for Congress in the congressional con
ference of 1890 by giving htm the rotes of
the Mercer county conferrces in said con
ference', and on the part of C. C. Townsend
aud his friends in Beaver county, he and
they will give the support ot the Beaver
county conferrees to A McDowell in the
conference for the congressional nomina
tion in 1892. And if necessary to carry
out the spirit of tlii* agreement, McDvivell
is to be a candidate for Congress in Mer
cer couuty tn 1890, and Townsend in Bea
ver county in 1892. And it ii also agreed
the said parties aud their friends are to
aid to the extent of their ability in the
other counties of the district.
"It is ulso agreed that in case a new
congressional apportionment is made yiior
to the November election in 1892, that
Beaver and Mercer counties are to remain
n the same district.
A MCDOWELL,
CHAS. C. TOWNSEND."
Upon the back of this agreement is
written:
"We endorse this agreement,
M. S. QUAT,
G H. MILLER,
THOS. PEKBT,
B. J. HAYWOOD."
It will be observed that the agreement
contaius a clause regarding the Congress
ional apportionment, a thing that Quay
alone, of that crowd, could have controlled
if Delamater had been elected.
Reasons for Quay's Retirement.
No man possessed of average common
sense who recalls the recent political his
tory of this State can feel any doubt that
Mr. Quay's retirement from the Senate
and from political prominence would be
advantageous to the Republican party.
The campaigns of the last two years ef
fectually demonstrated that the party is
strongest when the Senator's methods are
disregarded and when his personality is
kept in the background. It was the stu
pid effort to "vindicate" him that led to
the disaster of 1890, and it was the inde
pendent action of last year's Convention
in disregarding his wishes that insured
the triumphant election of the State tick,
et. That experience was enough to show
every man of ordinary political sagacity
that Mr. Quay had become a load too
heavy for the party to carry with safety.
This'fact alone is enough to justify act
ive and organized opposition to Mr.
Quay's re-election, without regard to his
political or personal character. Even
those who hold that ho is a sound Repub
lican are forced to acknowledge that he
is disliked and distrusted by so large a
section of tho party voters that his lead
ership endangers the success of any tick
et he is understood to favor; and every
politician understands that a leader who
drives away votes is a leader to be deposed
at the first possible opportunity if the
party is to live and grow. It is evident,
then, that the highest loyalty to the Re
publican party prompts vigorous opposition
to Mr. Quay's continuance in a position
where he is an undoubted cause of party
loss.
The Republicans of the State who havo
joined themselves together to oppose Mr.
Quay's re-election to the Senate can at
least claim that they havo done their party
a service in calling the voters' attention to
numerous reasons lor his retirement. We
publish their address in another column,
and we ask the Republicans of Tioga
county to consider carefully and dispas
sionately the argument made by this as
sociation of Republicans. The "address is
written in an evident spirit ot fairness; it
contains no personal attack ou the Senator,
and its most pointed criticisms of bis
official and political conduct are simple
statements of fact whioh are within the
knowlege ot all men at all interested in
public affairs
Every voter in the State knows that at
the last session of Congress Mr. Quay help
ed defeat the bill intended to secure a free
vote and fair count all over the country—
a measure to which the whole party was
pledged by its National platforms and to
which every Republican in (Jougress was
committed by a party caucus. This act
alone stamped Mr. Quay as a faithless rep
resentative of his party and a betrayer of
its fundamental principle, and it should
insure his prompt retirement from the po
sition he has shown himself unworthy to
hold. But Ibis is only one of numerous
good reasons given by this Republican As
sociation for Republican opposition to the
Senator's re-election, and we think no
candid man who reads the address will
fail to see the necessity of placing in
the Senate a man who has the ability and
the political integrity to become a (it rep
resentative of the sturdy Republicanism
of our great Commonwealth. Wellsboro
Agitator.
ONE of the Republican papers of Kittan
ning—and by odds the best paper publish
ed in Armstrong Co. —has spoken out no
bly on this U. S. Senatorial question; and
now let us hear from Lawrence county.
It is too bad to see tho entire Republican
press of a county wearing the Cameron-
Quay collar.
Our Choice for U.S. Senator.
The Union Free Prett, the leading
Republican paper of Kittanning. Arm
strong county, comes out for Mr. Dalzell
for the United States Senate aad gives its
reasons as follows:
We announced some time ago that alter
a careful study of the political and public
life of John Dalzell aud M. S. Quay, can
didates for C. S, Senator, we would give
a correct and truthful statement as to
their ability and fitness to fill the position
to which they aspire, and that whatever
stand we would take in the mattei would
be for the best interests of the party. We
find in studying up their political record
that Mr. Quay has done more to injure
the Republican party than any other man
in the State, and by his- actions has
aroused a great portion of the Republican
party, among whom are represented its
most able and influential leaders, iuto
such a state that they are justly protest
ing against his tyraunical acts, and intend
to rid the party of him and his unjust
methods forever. During his term as
Senator he has been absent on all occa
sions when any important measure* were
under discussion. During the first session
of the fiftieth Congress on the call of the
yeas and nays ho was present and voted
:tfl limes and was absent 108, and during
the second sesssion he was present at 39
aud absent at 111 such calls. Dueing the
first session of the Fifty-first Congress he
was present at 119 calls and absent from
194. and during the second session he was
present at 53 and absent 105. For both
the Fiftieth and Fifty first Congress the fig
ures are: present, 248; absent 518, show
ing an attendence at less than one-third
of the total calls for the yeas and nays.
The sessions of the two Congresses ex
tended through 28 months. During 14 of
ihese months Mr. Quay answered to only
32 calls of the yeas and nays and did not
respond to 262 calls. In only five months
of the 28 did he respond to more such
calls than he absented himself from, the
aggregate for these months being, present
123; absent, 86. Mr Quay forced Delama
ter upon the Republican party of this State
as a candidate for Governor, thereby elect
iug a Democratic Governor and almost
ruining the party. He is at present en
gaged iu a bitter tight against the admin
istration. In fact Mr. Quay's every move
ment is in direct opposition to the best
interests of the party. The only time he
ever did vote on any measure of import
ance was when he voted against the "lorce
bill," the object of which was to give the
colored voter in the South a chance to
cast his ballot unmolested. The Republi
can party in its platlorm had pledged its
support to this measure, and Mr. Quay as
the National Chairman of the Republican
party was in duty bound to support it, yet
he cast his ballot with the Democrats and
helped to defeat it. We want a Republi
can to represent us in the Senate. We
want a man of ability. We want a man
who will attend to his duties and not be
absent over two-thirds of the time, and
above all we want a man who can raise
his voice in behalf of nis constituents when
the opportunity presents itself. We want
an active, energetic Representative, not a
figurehead who cannot speak half dozen
words of English intelligently.
Unlike Senator Quay, who has never
appeared as champion of his State, and
whose incapacity as a public speaker is
proverbial, Mr. Dalzell is never found
wanting on occasions of this kind. He is
the spokesman of the Republican party
in Pennsylvania, recognized as such at
home and in the House of Representatives
at Washington. Mr. Dalzell is an ideal
Republican statesman. He is not a job
ber and wirepuller, it is true, but he has
the ability to do honor on the floor of the
Senate, to the Stale of Pennsylvania
which has long been practically without
a voice in that body. The election of
such a man to the Senate would bo in line
with the noble traditions of that body and
would aid powerfully in perpetuating its
repute for swaying the mind of the nation
by its great debates of public issues, Penn
sylvania would have a voice in national
affairs that would be able to make itself
heard throughout the land, aud which
would worthily maintain the dignity of
this great Commonwealth. Young and
full of honorable ambition Mr. Dalzell adds
the gift of eloquence to solid abilities of a
high order of statesmanship. He is our
choice for United States Senator.
Endorsing Dalzell.
The Pittsburg Dispatch of Wednesday
contained a wholo page of euaorsments ol
Dalzell by well known business aud pro
fessional men ol Pittsburg and vicinity.
Msj. A. M. Brown is perhaps the best
known iu Butler Co. 01 the persons inter
viewed, and he is quoted as follows:
"I have known lion. John Dalzell dnr
ing his fntire professional life. It is not
necessary to state that he is a lawyer of
the most eminent ability and polished ed
ucation. Mr. Dalzell Is endowed with rare
literary and ciautific acquirements. He
has been strictly moral, upright and hon
orable throughout his entire life. He is
worthy the confidence of the people of this
Commonwealth, and he is thoroughly
equipped in every sense to fill with rare
credit to himsell and his State the higher
office of United States Senator. I unite
with the people generally in admiring his
success ia the lower House of Congress. I
would be highly gratified to see Mr. Dal
zell elevated to the higher state ofSenator."
The Dispatch, editorially says: A re
markable collection of expressions of opin
ion on the Senatorial situation appears in
this issue of the Disyuteh. In that com
pilation of brief interview all classes of
citizens —iron manufactures, bankers, mer
chants and professional men—join in vari
ous forms of declaring their belief that the
lion. John Palzell is by talents, acquire
ments and character, the choice of all oth
ers to make the United States Senator
ship 1
The unanimity of this declaration is not
more characteristic than the fact that the
tribute to Mr. Dalzell is no more thau he
deserves. His comparatively brief service
in the lower branch of Congress has placed
him among the leader* in national affairs
as distinctly as his much longer career at
the bar has put him in the front rank of
lawyers. He has shown, as in his advocacy
of internal waterways, not only the ability
to recognize the merits of new national
projects, but the power to advocate them
with an effectiveness that has been hereto
fore lacking among the Representatives of
Western Pennsylvania in Congress. What
is more unusual, he has shown in his
course on this, as in other matters, the
attractive spectacle of a great railroad
lawyer who in his public position is uu
swerved from public duty either by the
prejudices or interests that generally ac
company corporate affiliations.
Mr. Dalsell's rise to a leading position in
our politics is the result of an active devo
tion of his great talents to public duty,
lie is the ideal candidate of Western Penn
sylvania for the Sejiatorship, an.l if elected
will give Pennsylvania such a represent
ation in the Senate as it ha« not iiad for a
generation.
Straight from the Shoulder,
At a Republican convention held in Mid
dleburg, Snyder oounty.last Thursday, the
following resolutions which should be read
by every Republican in the State wore
unanimously adopted:
We, members of the Republican party
of Snyder county,in conferenoe assembled,
unanimously adopt the following as a
timely and necessary expression of the peo
ple;

The following items reached us just
too late for last week's paper:
The grippe has begun its ravages through
our town. Mrs. J. \ Fu'ton, Miss Esther
Thompson. Mrs. Fair and her daughter
Eva, who have been victims for the last
v- ek are slowly recovering. Mrs. Glass,
of Renfrew, has been attending the sick at

George Rittman who had lying very low
with the fever for some time past, died at
Lawrenceville and was buned at Bear
Creek Church Thursday, 25th.
Mr. J. E. Turner, who has been working
the W. & A. Pipe Line Co., at Saxonburg,
lias gone to his houib in Oil City for a lew

Dr. Rickenbaugb, of Bakerstown, and
Miss Laura Hayes of this place, were mar

Miss Esther Thompson oelobroted Wash
ington's birthday giving a turkey roast.
Four or live of the gentlemen of this
place took a pleasure trip to Pittsburg one
day last week. Evidently they enjoyed it,
but the reports of the different parties
didn't seem to accord.
Thursday of this week Mr. J. X. Fulton
left his horse standing at the gate while
he wont to the house forhiscoat. In his ab
sence the horse took fright and started off
at a breakneck speed but was caught by
Mr. R. J. Anderson before any damage
was done.
P. E. Calhoun's No. 5 on Thomas Mont
gomery farm got the sand a few days since
and will make fifteen barrel well. He is
building a rig for No. 6 and will start drill

It would save the Senators trouble.
Before the Senator went South to fish
ho delivered himself to a reporter, in view
of Mr. Blaiue's letter decliuing to be a
candidate for President, to the effect that
now that Blaine has ilecliued he (Quay)
and his friends would have to discuss the
question *ho the recently elected anti
liarrison delegates in this State would be
for. Mr. Quay seems to be unable to see
the storm that appears to be gathering
around him, and apparently rests serenely
in the conviction that he continues to own
Pennsylvania. Now that Mr. Blaine is
out of the way the people of this State are
without doubt for the re-nomination of
President Harrison, Quay or no Quay, and
the latter might save himself some trouble
if he would recognize that fact at once,
rather thaa to wait until it is forced upon
his attention.—hewistown Gazette.
