"The Citizen ud the Senator*
ship."
Under the above caption, last
week, Quay's literary friend of the
Eagle, attempted to controvert
our exposure of his "Snake Sto
ry," and let us see with what suc
cess.
In the first place he seems anx
ious, exceedingly anxious, that we
cease connecting the names of
Cameron and Quay. He says
"that at the present time we are
not discussing the claims and
qualifications of Senator Cameron
to a seat in the Senate.
Ah; indeed! But co-partners in
crime are often tried together, and
why should not these co-partners
in political trickery and subterfuge
be exposed together, that the jury
in the case, the Republicans of the
county, have full knowledge of
what they are now asked to do?
Let us look at these political
co-partners as they stand to-day.
If there be a self confessed, self
convicted traitor in the Republi
can camp that man is J. Donald
Cameron —and had Matthew Stan
ley Quay been true to his party,
and true to as capable and patri
otic an administration as the Re
publican party has yet given the
country, Cameron would not now
have a vote in the Senate, to the
disgrace of the party; and with
which to antagonize the adminis
tration and favor his southern
friends. And what excuse do
Quay's friends make for the action
of himself, his friends and his son
in the Legislature last winter?
This and only this—the treasury
defalcation. If J. Donald Came
ron did not save Matthew Stanley
Quay from the penitentiary or from
suicide, in that matter (as publish
ed) then Quay is without excuse
lor his action in the premises.
Cameron owns Q ua y- The
two men are necessary to each
other. United they stand, and
divided they fall; and they have
been in office and in power so
long that they have been enabled
to build up an organization in this
State, ostensibly Republican, but
really neither Republican, Demo
cratic or Prohibition—a cancer on
the body politic, with rootlets in
every voting precinct in the State,
and with it they control or annoy
every Republican National admin
istration that does not submit to
them.
They antagonized Garfield's ad
ministration, they antagonized
Hays' administration and now
they are antagonizing Harrison's.
And why? Simply because they
cannot control him.
Cameron and Quay are now
plotting for the defeat of Harri
son's re-nomination. They want
a man who will be under great
obligations to them. Harrison has
cast them off, and they seek a
weaker and more subservient man.
And Quay wants to be re-elect
ed United States Senator, and
wants to take a "Quay delegation"
to Minneapolis; and the only rea
sons that his adherents can give
for continuing him in an office for
which he is unfit is that he served
a few months in the army, and is
a skillful politician.
Garfield was a soldier, Hays
was a soldier and Harrison was a
soldier- Garfield's memory is re
vered; Hays and Harrison have
war records, long and good, and
our soldier friends in this county
who are now being misled by the
cry of "Comrade Quay" should re
member that every vote they cast
for him is a shot at soldiers who
haw t>etter xtcottis tbfo he.
Give Quay all credit for his
brief military career, and all credit
fo«" his political work in 1888 and
the facts remain clear and bold—
he is utterly unfit for the office he
now holds; he has already held
offices the emoluments of which
amounted to hundred of thousands
of dollars, and he is a co-partner
with Cameron in a bastard organ
ization that has antagonized one
Republican administration after
another.
He is bound, hand and foot, to
Cameron, and his re-election
means, in the ordinary course of
events, the re-election of Cameron
fiveyears hence.
The other points of the answer
to our article are almost trivial.
Our literary friend says Quay is
not infallible, and has made mis
takes, and then criticises us for
using the article "the instead of
"a" in speaking of the House of
Representatives at Washington as
the training school for statesmen;
also for momentarily forgetting,
when enumerating his many
offices, that Quay was for several
years Secretary of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
His willingness to add Galusha
A. Grow's name to the list of
those statesmen who should be
remembered by the people for
promotion to the Senate, reminds
us of the couplet.
"When the Devil was sick, the Devil
a Monk would be,
When the Devil was well, the devil a
Monk was he.
Mr. Dalzell has been put for
ward as a proper person for this
office. His record is good, and
that he is an unusually able man
is shown by his speeches.
His having a personal friend
among the many officers of the
Standard Oil Co., is no objection
to him, and neither is the fact that
he is or was retained by the Penn
sylvania R. R. Co.—the heartiest
endorsement of Quay, published
in the "Eagle" last week, was
that of Col. Thompson, attorney
of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co.
here.
Dalzell can stand on his record,
both public and private, and face
any man, but the issue here is far
greater than the personal fortunes
of either man, and stated briefly
it is this—Shall or shall not the
Republican party of this State
stand in line with the party of the
Nation, or is it to continue to be
the personal property of a couple
of political tricksters, and be used
for their personal aggrandizment
and that alone.
We return our compliments to
our literary friend for his good
wishes for our personal welfare —
"faint heart never won" etc —and
we will fight it out on this line.
Those Interviews.
Quay's friends interviewed But
ler last week as to their preference
for United States Senator and out
of some fifteen hundred voters
they found thirty Republicans and
one Democrat, who favored his re
election.
These interviews were published
in the "Eagle" of last week, with
a few from outside points, and
they form an interesting col
lection.
Most of the Republicans men
tioned are undoubtedly honest and
sincere in their views, though, in
our opinion, misled and mistaken.
Others, however, are not so frank,
and of one or two of these let us
speak.
The lengthiest of the diatribes
is that of Thomas Robinson, Esq.,
who gives a short biography of
Quay, in which he drags in the
name of Judge Agnew, forgetting
that no man in this State ever
wrote a more scathing denunci
ation of the "Cameron—Quay
Combine," than did Judge Daniel
Agnew.
The "Combine" shelved Agnew,
some fifteen years ago, when he
was in the prime of life, and plac
ed Judge Sterrett, of Pittsburgh, in
nomination, and so many Repub
licans of the State were indignant
about it, that Judge Trunkey, of
Franklin, the Democratic nominee,
was elected to the Supreme Bench.
Robinson has had control of
all the Federal appointments of
this county for years, under the
same "combine;" his daughter
held the postoffice here for eight
years under it, and it would be
"the height of both ingratitude
and folly" for him to now desert
his masters and patrons.
Col. John M. Thompson and
Quay were in the same regiment.
Col. Thompson stayed at the front
longer than Col. Quay, and re
signed after being wounded. He
is to-day, and always has been,
Quay's superior, physically mental
ly and morally. He approves of
Quay's methods, and the—question
is a fair one—Why was Thomp
son retired after one term in
Congress, while honors and offices
without number have been show
ered on Quay ?
Col. John M. Sullivan favors
Quay's re-election because of his
"able and faithful" public service.
That is the same expression used
in the "Eagle's" snake story,
and the same answer wlil apply.
The Col. held office by appoint
ment, during almost his entire
active life, under Simon Cameron,
and the present "Cameron—Quay
Combine" and if Robinson would,
as he intimates, be a base ingrate
if he did not support the
"combine" now, no words would
be black enough to picture Sulli
van's ingratitude under similar
circumstances.
Riddle is for Quay because he
believes, "no one will guard the
interests of his constituents more
zealously (in Florida), or adhere
to the principles of the Republican
party more faithfully"—as see
Quay's record in the tariff and
honest elections bill, published in
another column.
Newton Black casts his eagle
eye over the "whole field" and
coojts to the Conclusion that "no
political event that could happen
this spring, would cause as much
rejoicing in the Democratic camp,
as for Quay to be beaten in Penn
sylvania."—and that in the face
of one defeat after another in the
strongest Republican state in the
Union —also defeat and disgrace
in Quay's own Congressional
district, the direct result of a
sneaking and contemptible agree
ment between Quay and his crowd
in Beaver county, 011 the one side,
and McDowell and his crowd in
Mercer county, 011 the other: by
which the rights and equities of
Butler county were annihilated
in a convention where Black stood
as the nominee for Butler count) - .
We are now on the eve of
another Presidential election, as
Newton says, and be the nominee
who he may, he will know that
Quay's leadership, (now that his
methods have been exposed)
would be as blighting as the
exhalations of the L p.ts tree.
The assertion that the Demo
crats "want Quay out of the
road" is of a dubious truthfulness.
He has been a mascot for them
in this Congressional district, he
has been a mascot for them in
this great Republican state, and in
the Senate of the Nation, (when
he condescends to be there) both
he and his co-partner Cameron,
have been voting with the Demo
crats or hindering the real Repub
lican leaders on all important
measures.
There are one or two more
of the interviews that we would
like to refer to, but this must do
for the present.
Republicans of Butler Co., and
particularly Republican soldiers
of Butler county, consider well
the action you will take on this
matter on the 9th of April. Look
beyond state lines, look to your
National administration as pre
sided over by Comrade Harrison,
and you will see that you are now
asked to antagonize him by
voting for a man who seeks his
overthrow; who is plotting against
him, and who is himself owned
and controlled by, and is work
ing with, as contemptible a
creature as has ever been greatly
honored by the Republican party
of this State.
Vote for the man that Comrade
Harrison favors, vote for the ablest
man Pennsylvania has in Congress
to-day, vote for John Dalzell for
United States Senator.
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 he had
extended to Beaver county, and was not
only disappointed in that, but during tlio
Phillips—McDowell contest of 1890 the
following agreement, which is a sample of
Quay's polities, 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 con
ference of 1890 by giving him the rotes of
the Mercer county conferrees in said con
ference, and on the part of C. C. Townsend
and his friends in Beaver county, be and
they will give the support <>l 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 this agreement. McDouclt
it to be a candidate for Congress in Mer
cer eouuty in 1890, and Townsend in Bea
ver county in 1892. And it is also agreed
Ihiiiu! parties and their friends are to
Aid to the extent of their ability in the
other oounties of the district.
"It is also agreed that in case a new
congressional apportionment is made prior
to the November election in 1892, that
Beaver and Mercer counties are to remain
n the same dl>triot.
A MCDOWELL.
CiiAS. C. TOWKSKKD."
Upon the back of this agreement is
written:
"We endorse this agreement,
M. S. QUAY,
S 11. MILLER,
TIIOS. PERRY.
B. J. BAT WOOD."
As Thomas W. Phillips has no opposi
tion in this county for Congress, and J. M.
Carson none for State Senate, their names
are being printed upou the tickets of such
of the local candidates as do not objeot to
such arrangement.
County Surveyor.
In the call for Republican Primary, the
office of County Surveyor was omitted,
There is oDe to elect this year and as
many tickets have already been printed, it
can be written at tbe foot of same, after
the other names.

of Cameron on the people of Pennsylva
nia one year ago at flarrishurg, through
his henchmen f We answer M S. Quay.
Let him go to Mr. Cameron for his support
now and not to the people whose will he
defeated.
The Murder Trial.
No trial in our Courts for years has at
tracted so much attention as has the mur
der trial, which, at this writing, is yet in
progress.
Judge Hazen had thoroughly prepared
himself for it, and his ruliugs on the many
legal points presented, arc prompt aud
olear.
Clerk Criswoll is doing his part as though
murder trials were an every day atfuir with
him; Distriot Attorney Reiber and Mr.
Bowser are watching every point for the
Commonwealth; and the attorneys fir the
defense—Col. Thompson, McQuistion,
Porqner and McCandless—are making as
thorough and complete a defense of the
prisoner as though they were all paid big
fees, instead of doing it voluntarily.
The jury consists of James Wilson, of

AFTER a protracted war of wo'ds in the
U. S. Senate last week, all the President's
appointments for United States Circuit
Judges were confirmed. In the House,
that day, the discussion on the lree wool
bill was continued.
THE Blair county convention, Monday,
endorsed President Harrison, elected Edi

Quay Fought Tariff and Honest Elections.
WASHINGTON, March 13. —An article in
Mr. Quay's newspaper organ in Philadel
phia. entitled, ' How Quay saved the tariff
bill." and undemtood to have been written
under Mr. Quay's order and direction, was
exhibited yesterday to a number of Re
publican senators, and created no little
amusement in the Senate chamber. If Mr.
' Quay had claimed to have saved the bill
providing for fair and honest elections he
could not have exhibited more assuran» e
in the opinion of the senators, then hc.dtd
in putting forth the claim that he "saved
the tariff bill."
Mr. Ald rich, Mr. Sherman aud Mr.
Hiscock were the three Republican sen
ators especially in charge of the tariff bill.
Owing tf his advanced age, Mr. Morrill,
chairman of the finance committee, was
not able to take personal charge of the
bill, and Mr. Aldrich did that work. If
Mr. Quay can get Mr. Aldrich or Mr.
Sherman to subscribe to his claim ot
••saving the tarifl bill." then there will be
no ground ol complaint against him.
But Mr. Quay knows well enough that
he, more than any other man. is held by
the senators who were in charge of that
tariff bill, responsible for the delay in
passing it, aud as a result for tbe disaster
that overwhelmed the Republicans in the
election of 1890. Bad the tariff bill been
passed promptly in the senate it would
have been before the people long enough
to have allowed the Republicans the time
necessary to refute the Democratic false
hoods about the measure. Bat it was
passed so late iu the session that there
was no opportunity to meet the precon
certed and universal attack on the bill.
For that delay iti passing the bill the two
Pennsylvania senators havo always been
held particularly responsible by tbe sena
tors in charge of tbe bill. It is safe to say
that Mr. Quay will wait a long time be
fore he will get Mr. Sherman or Mr. Al
drich to say anything to the contrary. It
was by thtt senators as amazing
that Mr. Quay should call attention to his
record on that tariff bill.
'•lf the senator is not responsible for the
article." remarked one of his associates
to-day, "he ought without delay to send
the fool-killer to Philadelphia."
HISTORY OF TIIE TARIFF BILL.
The tariff bill was reported to the Sen
ate on tbe 18th ol June, 1890. Soon after
ward Mr. Morrill moved to take up the
bill in the Senate, but owiug to abscentee
ism on tbe Republican side, tbe motion
was lost. Among the absentees were
Cameron and Quay.
A little later Mr. Gray, of Delaware,
acting iu accordance with the Democratic
program to delay the consideration of the
tariff bill, moved to take up the bill to
transfer tbe reveuue marine service to the
navy department Mr. Morrill antagK
nlzed the motion with one to take up the
tariff bill. But Mr Gray's motiou pre
vailed, and among those voting with him
was Mr. Cameron, Mr. Quay was, of course,
absent.
Four days later the revenue marine
bill was again taken up in preference to
the tariff' bill by the aid of Mr. Cameron's
vote, and Quay was absent. Three days
later the revenue marine bill again dis
placed the tariff bill by aid of Mr. G'aui
e"ron's vote.
The next vote on the tariff was ou a
motion made by Mr. Turpie to recommit
it, which was ol course lost, but both
Cameron and Quay were absent. The
consideration of the bill then began in
earnest, but it had at that lime been before
theg Senate for a month and a half, with
the senators in favor of it vainly endeav
oring to get it up for consideration,and al
ways finding themselves antagonized either
directly by the votes of the Pennsylvania
senators or by their absence.
QUAY WAS FISHING.
It is well kuown here, and to the readers
of the Press, because attention was called
to it at that time, that Mr. Quay was
fishing at Atlautic City or Capo May while
the tariff bill was under consideration,
aud was otherwise absent a good deal of
the time. The best proof of this is found
in tbe official records of the Senate. There
were 138 roll calls on the tariff bill, and
on sixty-nine roll calls ho was recorded
absent and on sixty niue as present. But
this only gives a faint idea of his neglect
or the interests of his State. Pennsylva
nia, as everybody knows, was more inter
ested iu that bill tbau any other state, and
the interests of no other state suffered iu
ibe Senate so much as those of tho Key
stoue State. All tbe large reductions were
made on Pennsylvania products. And
how unfair were some of the discrimi
nations was ;*vell known to° some of the
Pennsylvania members of the House at
that time The duty on hemlock lumber,
for instance, a Pennsylvania product, was
cut down 50 per cent., while the duty on
spruce lumber, a product of Maine forests,
was not reduced at all. Mr. McCormick,
of Williainsport, who was a member of tbe
House at that time, got no assistance
whatever from the Pennsylvania senators
iu looking after the lumber interests. In
fact, neither of tbem were in Washington
at the time the Senate committee was
considering the matter. They were both
absent also when tbe committee was con
sidering tbe iron and steel schedule, and
when they did seek to prevent tbe large
reductions iu that schedule they were too
late, as the committee had already done
its work.
QUAY AND A QUORUM NOT PRESENT.
Not only were Mr. Quay a,d Mr. Cam
eron to a considerable extent responsible
for the delay in taking up the bill, and not
only was Mr. Quay absent on one-half of
the 138 roll calls ou the measure, but on
four different days while the bill was
under consideration the Senate was
obliged to adjourn for lack of a quorum,
and on every one of these days Mr. Quay
was absent. But there were eight other
days when the consideration of the bill
had to be suspended because the vote
disclosed a lack of a quorum, aud on every
one of those votes Mr. Quay was absent.
Thus there were fourteen times when the
bill was under consideration that busi
ness had to be suspended In the Senate for
lack of a quorum, and on every one of the
occasions Mr. Quay was absent, and on
nearly all of them Mr. Cameron also.
£Sevcn times tho sergeant-at-arms of tbe
Senate was sent out to arrest absent mem
bers, so as to compel the attendance ol a
quorum, and seven times did ho return to
the Senate and inform that body that
Matthew Stanley Quay could uot be found
in the city of Washington. Oil one of
these occasions the item of the bill regard
ing tho tariff on cotton ties aud hoop iron,
was under consideration aud Mr. Quay
was abseut. and could not be found, and,
while the same item iu tho metal schedule
was uuder consideration on another
occasion, the same thing happened again.
He was recorded absent on several other
occasions while tbe metal schedule was
under consideration, aud yet no state iu
the Uniou had so much interest in that
schedule as the state of Pennsylvaia.
CONTINUOUS OPPOSITION.
Not only did Cameron aud Quay delay
the passage of tho bill at the beginning
but they kept up thoir opposition in that
respect almost to tbe very end.
On September 8, when Mr. Aldrich aud
his committee found it necessary to have
evening sessions to facilitate the pussago
of the bill, the o<.mmitteo was immediately
antagonized by Cameron aud Quay. Mr.
Quay was tbe only man in the Senate to
raise an objection to the evening session,
and on his demand of tho ayes and nays
were called on Mr. A'drich's motion. The
vote stood 48 iu favor of the evening
sessions to 13 against it, and among the 13
wfcjw Oan:crou aub tjuayi But rotb oT
these senators antagonized the (Ormittee
nearly all the way through.
On tbe very first item in tbe bill, when
Mr McPherson. ol New Jersey, moved to
reduce the duty ou an item in thecheraical
schedule in which Philadelphia has the
the largest interest, Cameron and Qu.iv
were both absent and there being no qu< -
rum present the Senate had to adjourn.
But they were both present when the
question of reducing the datv on rice tlour
was under discus-lop, 1 ■ cans- it wns op
posed by Mr Butler, of South Carolina,
on tbe claim that it would compete with
the rice growth ol bis State Ihe item
WLB 'he same as pass d by the Republicans
in the House, an<i as auree I upon by the
finance committee of the Senate 'nt be
cause Mr. Butler, of Sontn Carolina, op
posed it both Mr. Cameron and Mr Quay
voted against it. T.i • vot • •» I :!■» lo in
in favor of the fin i t e committee, but of
tint-mill injor if ten, Pennsj l .-au a
contribute I two votes.
On the question ol unposiug a duty on
hides, Cameron aud Quay were again
against the committee. There were only
fourteen votes iu favor of iinpo-ing a duty
on bides, aud two of these votes were
given by the state of Pennsylvania,
although the leather interests of Pennsyl
vania exceed those of any other state.
On sugar and on oiher questions Came
ron and Quay opposed the committee.
When a proposition was made to continue
the old tariff on sugar to July 1, 1891. Mr.
Quay voted for it, although in that in
stance Cameron parted company with hiin
and voted against it.
As soon as the Senate passed the tariff
bill, Mr. Quay disappeared from the city,
and when the conference report came up
lor a vote be wi.s recorded as absent.
THE ELECTION BILL
But the claim is made fi.r Mr Quay that
he '"saved the tariff" by killing the bill
providing for honest elections which had
b'-cn passed by the House in accordance
with the platform of tbe Republican N'a
lioi-al convention, ami of the pla'fonie.s of
the Mite conventions iu Peunsi Ivauia for
many years Tuere never was a more un
true claim put forth iu behalf of any man.
It will not be forgotten, because atten
tion was repeatedly called to it iu the col
umns oi the Press during the time the
tanli bill Was pending in tht >.-n it -, tha:
tbe Democrats were threatening to talk on
the tariff bill for the purp He ol defeating
tie elections bill. The Republican seua
tors believed that the rules of the Senate
ought to be changed so as to provide for
closing debate on any measure when a
majority should so decide. Tne Repub
lican senators called a caucus to consider
the matter. Neither Mr. Quay nor Mr.
Cameron went lo that caucus, but both
gave out the impression that they were
opposed to a cha ge of the rules, as well as
to the pa.-sage of the bill providing for post
elections. Tbe dispatches to the Press
from Washington, and to oiher ne**s
patiers at that time, bear repeated evidence
of ihe fact.
A short time later another caucus was
called, as it had been agreed at the pre
vious one that if tho Democrats showed a
disposition to talk uuuecessarily loug on
the tariff bill that the rules should ba
changed Neither one of the Pennsyl
vania senators attended the second caucus.
At that caucus a committee was appointed
to report to a future caucus, if found
necessary, a provision for changing the
rules.
Still another caucus was called to hear
the report of that committee and still
both tne Pennsylvania senators absented
themselves, and refused to take any part
with their Republican associates to se
cure the passage of both the election a id
tariff bills. Instead of acting with the
Republican senators in this matter Mr
Quay displayed his opposition by intro
duciug a proposed amendment to tbe rules
for the express purpose of excluding the
consideration of the bill providing for
honest elections.
TUB CAUCUS AT CAMERON'S IIOUSE.
About this time attention having beeu
called in the Press to the refusal of the
Pennsylvania senators to conler with their
•associates in caucus, and Mr. Cameron
thinking that it might injure him iu his
candidacy for re-elect ion, sought to meet
this criticism by inviting the Republican
senators to hold a caucus at his house to
consider the subject. The invitation was
accepted. The caucus was held at Mr.
Cameron's house and an agreement reached
that the rule should he changed or tt at
the Republican senators should continue
in session until tbe tariff bill was passed
Quay did not attend that caucus either,
and both he aud Camerou afterward re
pudiated or refused to carry out the agree
ment made at that caucus.
All this time Mr. Quay was almost in
daily consultation with Mr. Gorman aud
other Democrats, aud everybody knew that
bis influence, as well as that of Mr. Cam
erou, was being exerted with d adly effect
against the bill for honest elections, and
therefore against any rule which would
Secure the passage of that bill as well as
tho tariff bill.
WHAT SENATOR FRYE SAID.
Mr. Quay quotes from a speech tnadn by
Mr. Frye in the senate ou Auuust 20, to
support bis claim that the tariff bill could
not pass unless the elections bill was post
polled or defeated. The quotatiou from
Mr. Frvo's speech was purposely made so
as to convey an impression the very oppo
site from that slated by Mr. Frye himself
This is what Mr Frye said, as it appears
in the Coitgressintil Record, ou pug
-8.848:
"1 sympathize with the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts (Mr Uoar) iu
all the utterances in this great speech, one
entirely worthy of bin. It was my for
tune or misfortune early in my public
career in Washington to be compelled to
investigate into election methods in Ihe
South and also in the state of New York
Tbe barbarities inflicted, the outrages per
petrated, tne njnstice'dono to a harmless
and innocent body ot American citizens in
the south for no reason under the suu ex
cept that they desired to exercise their
rights, which tho constitution of their
country gi.ve, so impressed my miud and
heart that for years 1 never have permit
ted luvseif. and my conscience bas never
allowed me, to address my fellow citizens
from public platforms without under.ak
ing to incite aud quicken their consciences
on this sul j -ct, which has to day been un
der discussion.
"I knew perfectly well, is thoy did, that
the R publican party had neglected its
opportunities when it had unlimited power
almost in both houses of congress, aud I
have assured these people and promised
them again and again that if the Republican
party uuder God was ever permitted to be
in power again in tbis Republic something
should bo undertaken, at least, to right the
terrible wrougs whiob were being commit
ted. [Applause from tho galleries]. Mr.
President, tho Republican party is once
more in power. Will those promises be
redeemed?
"We are confronted in this senate, not
by a theory to-day, but by a conditiou.
If there are forty-three Republican sena
tors who will waive for a tow days tfceir
convenience and their comfort, their pri
vate business and their pleasure, and re
main in their seats in this seuate chamber
from 10 o'clock in tho morning till 0
o'clock at night, and all night long if it
may be necessary ; if there are forty-three
Republican senators who believe iu pro
tecting American citizens within our own
borders as tbey do believe in protecting
them elsewhere in the world; if there are
f >rty-three Republican senators who bo
lieve in a protective tariff; if there are
forty-three Republican senators who be
lieve in enacting an election law, and if
these forty three Republic in senators will
agree first that a previous question shall
be adopted as one of the rules cf tho
senate, then, in three days' time, that rule
will be adopted, and in ten days' lime a
tariff' bill will be passed by the senate, and
in ten days thereafter an election bill, too
will be passed. If, on the contrary, there
are Republican senators enough so wedded
to tbe old rules of the senate that uuder no
circumstances will they vote for a previous
question, then, sir, you might as well bid
good-bye to this election bill now aud for
ever."
KILLED BY QUAY'S PROPOSED RULE.
It will be seeu from this that the vital
part of Mr. Frye's speech is left out in the
garbled quotatiou given in tho Quay orgau.
If Mr. Cameron and Mr. Quay had stood
up and voted and acted with their Repub
lican associates, as agreed upon in caucus,
to pass the eleclious bill aud the tariff bill
by changing the rules, tbey would havo
passed both measures in t'n days' time, as
stated by Mr. Frye in his speech. The
opposition of tho Pennsylvania senators
encouraged some of tbo free silver senators
to tbe same end, and as a result, tho
elections bill was killed by Mr. Quay's
proposed rule, and th* passage of the tariff
bill was delayed until such a late day that
the Republican party was overwhelmed as
a l esult in tbe elections that followed.
The vote on the report to change tho
rules, as given in Jauuary, showed tnat it
lacked at that time only one vote to carry
it through. Mr' Camerou voted with the
Democrats, which defeated tho motion,
the vote standing 35 to 34 If tho vote had
beeu taken before Mr. Cameron was re
elected to the Senate, everybody knows
that be would have been compelled to
vote with tho Republican side, and his
vote would bare left the dwisftra to the
Vice President. and there *»■> not the
least doubt in the world as to where he
*to<>d. But every body know* in Washing
ton that Mr Cameron at the «mp tiiue Mr
Q'tav introduced his rule designed to k 111
the elections bill, was relying ou Quay
aid to defeat the bill if it should be needed
The Democrats always claimed that tbey
could have Quay's rote if they wanted it,
and Cameron knew that he could not be ie
elected without yuay's assistance.
It is thus very evident trom the vote
that finally resulted in killing the elec
tions bill that it might have been passes
along with the tariff bill if it had not
been for tho betrayal of his trust by Mr.
Quay in introducing a rale designed to
kill the elections bill in defiance of th--
Republican caucus and of the platforms of
the party. And altera!! this record Mr.
Quay, or some of his fool Irieuds, have the
assurance to a~k the public to believe that
he "saved" the tariff bill.
SENATOR QUAY'S son Dick was a mem
ber of tbe Legislature last winter and in
sisted with all his power in forcing the un
timely Caucus, "which the roosters con
trolled," which named Senator Cameron
as his own suoees.-or. Republicans reme
dy this.
VOTERS of Butler county carefully
examine the services of Dalzell and Quay
If you find that either one of these men
absented himself from the National Legis
lature two-thirds, one half, or even one
third f bis tiuie and took pay fur the
whole time, then east your vote against
him.
TAKING it for granted that Quay dm
receive a medal tor going on the stuff <>.
Gen. Tyler at Fredericksburg, not as «
colonel but as a private citizen, alter be
had resigned aud beeu relieved from duty,
then what should the private soldiers re
ceive who stood and (ought in tbe path
way of deam at Fredericksburg?
Is tbe House at Washington, Tuesda . ,
the great debate of tho free silve • bill,
opened by Air. Bland, and will probably
continue for several days. A tire in the
folding room that day burned several thou
sand dollars worth of books aud papers.

County Superintendent McCollough's
Report.
From Sup'd't McCollough's last report
we learn thut the school work of last year
was uttended with fair results; that the
teachers labored faithfully and that al
though about one-fourth of the teachers
were without previous experience, there
were I nt half a doien failures; seventeen
public examinations were held; 386 ap
plicants were examined of whom 323 re
ceived certificates; but 15 districts in the
county have a longer term than that re
quired by law, anil the Snp'd't thinks a six
months term too short.
The tabular statement of the county
compares favorably with that of other
rural counties. The average salary of the
male teachers per mouth is $37.77, and of
the females s3l 73.
Ceutreville has the longest term, D
