Hood's Sarsaparilla Is
King of Medicines
Anil His Cure Was
Almost a Miracle
"C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mad 3.
"Gentlemen: 'When I was 14 years of ago
I was confined to my bed for several months
by an attack of rheumatism, and when I had
partially recovered I did not have tho use of
my legs, so tliat I had to go on crutches,
▲bout a year later, Srr»fnl», In the form of
White Bwellings,
appeared on various parts of my body, and
for eleven years I was au Invalid, being con
•aed Mmy tod nix yonrx. In that time
ten or eleven of these sores api>eared and
broke, causiug me great pain and suffering.
Several times pieces of hone worked out of
Qe sores. Physicians did not help me and
I Became Discouraged
" I went to Chicago to Yislt a sister, as it
was thought a change of air and scene might
do me good. But I was confined to my bed
moat of the time. I was so impressed
with the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla
In cases similar to mine that 1 decided to try
It 80 a bottle was bought, ami to my great
Ratification the sores soon decreased, and
began to feel better. Tills strengthened my
faith In the medicine, and in a short tune 1 was
Up and Out of Doors
To make a long story short, I continued to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla for a year, when I
had become so fully released from the chains
of disease that I took a position with the
Flint & Walling Mfp. Co.. ayd since that time
have not lost a single day on account of
sickness. 1 always feel well am In good
spirits, and have a good appetite. I endorse
Hood's Sarsaparilla
for It has been a great blessing to me, and to
my friends my recovery seems almost mirac
alous. I think Hood's Sarsaparilla is the
king of all medicines." WILLIAM A. I.IHR,

the tat iff btl! "
Mr. Aldrich, Mr Sherman and Mr.
Hiscock uerethe three Republican sen
ator* especially in CHARGE of the tariff bill.
Owinjr ti his adranced AJFIF, Mr. Morrill,
chairman ol the tiuance committee, was
| not able to take personal charge of the
bill, and Mr. Aid rich did that work. If
MR. QUAY can get Mr. Ald rich or Mr.
■ Sherman to SUBSCRIBE TIT h.S claim ot
I .'saving tbe tariff bill." theu there w ill be
no ground ol complaint against bitn.
i liut Mr. Q IAY knows well enough that
he, more than any other man. I< held by
the senators who were in charge of that
tariff hill, responsible for the delay in
passing it, and as A result for the disaster
that overwhelmed the Republicans in the
election of 1890. Had the tariff bill been
PA"ED promptly in the senate it would
have been before tho people long enough
I to have allowed the Republicans the time
: necessary to refute the Democratic false
hoods about the measure But it was
passed so late in the session that there
. was tin opportunity to meet the precon
certed and universal attack on the bill.
For that delay in passing the bill the two
Pennsylvania senators have always been
held particularly responsible by the seua
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
dricb to say anything to the contrary. It
was regarded by tbe senators as amazing
that Mr. Quay should call attention to his
record on that tariff bill.
"If tho senator is uot responsible for the
article," remarked one of bis associates
to-day, "he ought without delay to send
the fool-killer to Philadelphia."
HISTORY OF THE TARIFF BILL.
The tariff' bill was reported to the Sen
ate on the 18th ol June. 1890. Soon after
ward Mr. Morrill moved to take up the
bill in the Senate, but owing to abscestae.
isin on the Republican side, tbe motion
was lost. Among the absentees were
Cameron and Quay.
A little later Mr. Gray, of Delaware. !
acting in accordance with the Democratic J
program to delay the consideration of the |
tariff bill, moved to take up the bill to
transfer the revenue tnaiine service to the :
navy department. Mr. Morrill antago
nized the motion with one to take up tho
tariff bill. But Mr Gray's motion 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 iu preference to
tbe tarifl bill by the aid of Mr. Cameron's
vote, and Quay was absent. Three days
later the revenue marine bill again dis- j
placed the tariff bill by aid of Mr. Cam
eron's vote.
Tbe next vote on the tariff was on a
motion made by Mr. Turpie to recommit
it, which was of course lost, but both
Cameron and Quay were absent. Tbe
consideration of the bill then began in
earnest, but it had at that time been before
the, Senate for a month and a half, with
tbe senators in favor of it vainly endeav
oring to get it up for consideration, and al
ways. finding themselves antagonized either
directly by tho votes OL the Pennsylvania
senators or by their absence.
QUAY WAS FISHING.
It is well known here, and to tho readers
of tbe I'resx, because atteution was called
to it at that time, that Mr. Qnay was
fishing at Atlantic City or Cape May while
the tariff bill was nnder consideration, I
and was otherwise absent a good deal of
the time. Tho best proof of this is found :
in the official records of the Senate. There
were 138 roll calls on tbe tariff' bill, and
on sixty-nine roll calls he was recorded I
absent and on sixty nine as present. But j
this only gives a faint idea of his neglect
of the interests of his State. Penaaylva-
nia, as everybody knows, was more inter- ;
ested in that, bill than auy other state, ati'L
the interests of uo other state suffered iti
tbe Senate so much as those of the Key- j
stone State. All tho largo reductions were
made on Pennsylvania products. And
how unfair were some of the discrimi
nations was 'well known to some of the
Pennsylvania members of tho House at
that time. Tbe duty on hemlock lumber, J
lor 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 Williamsport, who was a member of the
House at that time, got no assistance
whatever from the Pennsylvania senators
in looking after the lumber interests. In
fact, neither of them were in Washington
at tbe time the Senate committee was
considering Ibo matter. They were both
absent also when the committee was con
sidering the iron and steel schedule, and
when they did seek to prevent tho large
reductions in that schedule they were too
late, as ihe committee bail already done
its work.
QUAY ASP A QUORUM SOT PRESENT.
Not only were Mr. Quay aid Mr. Cam
eron t<> A considerable extent responsible
for L lie delay iu taking up the bill, and not
only WAS Mr. Quay absent on one-half of
the 138 roll calls on the measure, but on
four different days while the bill was
uuder consideration the Senate was
obliged to adjourn for lack of a quorum,
and on every one of these days Mr. Quay
was a' V-i. B-t there wore eight other
days WL.:: :BA consideration of the bill
bad to be suspended because the vote
disclosed a lack of H quorum, and on every
one of those votes Mr. Quay was absent.
Thus there were fourteen times when tho
bill was under consideration that busi
ness had to be suspended in the Senate for
lack of a quorum, and ou every ouo of the
occasions Mr. Qnay was absent, and ou
uearly all of them Mr. Cameron also.
, Seven times the sorgeant-at-arms of tbe
Senate was sent out to arrest ab-ieut mem
bers, so as to compel tho attendance ol a
quorum, and seven times did ho return to
tbe Senate and inform that body that
Matthew Stanley Quay could uot be found
in tho city of Washington. Ou one of
these occasions tbe item of the bill regard
ing the tariff on cotton ties and hoop iron,
was under consideration and Mr. Quay
was absent and could not bo found, and,
whilo the same item in tbe metal schedule
wa< under consideration on another
occasion, tbe wme thing happened again
BUTLER, PA., FH I DAY, APRIL 1, 1892.
f He was recorded absent on several oth*
j occasions while the metal sehed il« wus
' i under consideration, and y«t no iti
| the Union bad so much interest in that
schedule as the state of I'ennsy Ivaia.
cosTtsrors OPPOSITION.
Not only did Cameron and Quay delay
the passage of tbe bill at the BEGINNING
but they kept up their opposiliiai in that I
I respect almost to the very end
On September 8, when Mr Aldrich and
his committee found it necessary to have j
! evening session* to facilitate the passage
I 'of the bill, the committee wa- immediately i
j antagonized by Cameron and Quay. Mr.
' Quay was tho only man in the Senate to
I raise an objection to the evening .<es ion, I
| and <m his demand of the ayes and nays •
] were called on Mr. A'drich's motion. The
i vote stood 48 in favor of the evening
: sessions to 13 against it. and among the 13 j
'[ w ere Caireron and Quay. But both of
) ' these senators antagonised the committee ]
•' uearly all tbe way through.
Ou the very lir.-t item in tbe bill, when
MR Mcpherson, <-F New Jersey, moved to
reduce tbe duty on an item in the chemical
schedule in which Philadelphia HN< the
tbe largest interest, Cameron and Quay
were both absent and there being no quo
rum present the Senate had to adjouru.
Hut they were both preseut when tbe
question of reducing the dutv oti rice flour
was under discussion, because it was op
posed by Mr. Butler, of South Carolina,
on the claim that it would compete w ith
, the rice growth ot his State. The item
L was the same as passed by the Republicans
in the House, and as agreed upon by the
' finance committee of the Senate but be-
I cause Mr. Butler, of South Carolina, op
, posed it both Mr. Cameron and Mr Quay
voted agaiust it, The vote stood 3S to 10
in favor of the finance committee, but of
tbat small injority of teu, Pennsylvania
I contributed two votes.
Ou the question of imposing a duty on
bides, Cameron and Quay were again
against the committee. There were only
1 fourteen votes iu favor of imposing a duty
I ou hides, and two of these votes were
given by the state of Pennsylvania,
although the loather interests of Pennsyl
vania exceed those of any other state
Ou sugar and on other 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-
I stanco Cameron parted company with him
aud 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
for a vote he was recorded as absent.
TUK ELECTION HILL.
But the claim is made for Mr- Quay that
he "saved the tariff" by killiug the bill
providing for honest elections which had
been passed by tho House in accordance
with the platform of the Republican Na
tional convention, and of the platfortnes of
the State conventions in Pennsylvania for
many years. There never was a more un
true claim put forth in behalf of any man.
It will not be forgotten, because atten
tion was repeatedly called to it in the col
utnus of the Press during the time tbe
! tariff bill was pending in tho senate, that
j tho Democrats were threatening to talk on
i the tariff bill for tbe purpose of defeating
the elections bill. Tbe KI-publican sena
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. Tho Repub
lican senator.) called a caucus to consider
the matter. Neither Mr. Quay nor Mr.
Cameron went to that caucus, but both
j gav« out the impression that they were
opposed to a cha ge of the rules, as well as
to the passage of tho bill providing for post
elections. The dispatches to the Press
from Washington, and to other news
papers at that time, boar repeated evidence
; of the fact.
A short time later auother caucus was
I called, as it had been agreed at the pre
vious one that if the Democrats showed a
' disposition to talk unnecessarily long on
the tariff bill that the rules should be
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 tbe
rules.
Still another cauous was called to hear
the report of that committee aud still
both the Pennsylvania sauators absented
themselves, aud refused to take auy part
with their Republican associates to so
euro the passage of both the election and
tariff bills. Instead of aeting with the
, Republican senators iu this matter Mr.
Quay displayed his T pposition by intro
ducing a proposed amendment to tho rules
for tho express purpose of excluding the
consideration of the- bill providing for
! honest elections.
THE CAUCFS AT CAMERON'S HOrSE.
About this time attention having been
called in tho i'resa to the refusal of tho
I Penus.V lvania senators to confer wiin their
associates in caucus, aud Mr Cameron
| thinking that it might injure him in his
canditlacy for re elec' ion, sought to meet
j this criticism by iuvitiug tho Republican
! senators to hold a caucus at his house to
consider.the subject. Tho invitation was
accepted. The caucus was held at Mr.
| Cameron's house and an agreement reached
I thai the rule should be changed or Tat
the Republican senators should continue
. in session until the tariff bill was passed.
Quay did not attend that "caucus either,
• and both ho and Cameron afterward re
pudiated or refused to carry out the agree
ment made at that caucus.
All this time Mr. Quay was almost iu
daily consultation with Mr. Gorman and
j other Democrats, and everybody knew that
| his infiueuoo, as well as that of Mr. Cam
I eron, was being exerted with d -adly effect
against the bill for honest elections, and
| therefore against any rule which would
seenre the passage of that bill as well as
the tariff bill.
WHAT SENATOR FRYE SAID.
Mr. Quay quotes from a speech made by
Mr. Fryo in the senate on August L'O. to
support his claim that the tariff hill could
not pass unless tho elections bill was post
poned o R defeated. Tho quotation from
MR. Frve's speech was purposely made so
as to convoy UN impression the very oppo
site from that stated by Mr. Frye himself.
This is what Mr. Frye said, as it appears
iu the Congressional llecord, on page
8.845:
"1 sympathize with the distinguished
senator from Massachusetts ( Mr. Hoar) iu 1
all the utterances in this great speech, one
entirely worthy of him. It was my for
tune or misfortune early in my public '
career in Washington to be compelled to '■
investigate into election methods in the
South and also in the state of New York
The barbarities inflicted, the outrages per
petrated, me ihjustice.dnuc to a harmless ,
aud innocent body of American citiz.-ns in
the south for no reason under the sun ex- '
eept that thoy desired to exercise their
rights, which the constitution of their
country gave, so impressed my mind and '
heart that for years I never have permit 1
ted mvself. and my conscience has never |
allowed me. to address my fellow citizens
from public platforms without under uk- ;
ing to incite and quicken their consciences |
on this subject, which has to-day been un
der discns-iou.
"I knew perfectly well, ,is they 'lid, that ;
the Kt publican party had neglected its
opportunities when it had unlimited power '
almost iu both houses of congress, and I
have assured these people and promised
them again and again that if the Republican
party under God was ever permitted to bo 5
in power again iu this Republic something
should be undertaken, at least, to right the
terrible wrongs which were being commit- 1
ted. [Applause from tho galleries], Mr. C
President, tho Republican party is once x
more iu power. Will those promises bo
redeemedf (
"We are confronted in this senate, not J
by a theory to-day, but by a condition. ,
IF there are forty-three Republican sena '
tors who will waive for a low days tbeir 1
convenience aud their comfort, their pri
vate business and tbeir pleasure, and re
main in their seats in this senate chamber (
from 10 o'clock in the morning till 6 /
o'clock at night, and all night long if it '
inay beyiecessary ; if there arc forty-three t
senators who believe iu pro ■
tecting American citizens within our own
borders as tbey do believe in protecting I
them elsewhere in the world; if there are
forty-three Republican senators who be
lieve iu a protective tariff; if there are
forty-three Republican senator* who be
lieve in enacting an election law, and if
these forty three Republic in se ators will
agree first that a previous question shall
be adopted as one of the rules «.F the
senate, then, iu three days' lime, that rule
will be adopted, and io ten days' lime a
tariff bill will be passed by the senate, and
in ten days thereafter au election bill, too
will be passed. If, on the contrary, there
are Republican senators enough so wedded
to the old rules of the senate that under no
1 circumstances will they vote for a previous
quertion, then, sir. you might a> well bid
gootl-bye to this election bill now and for
j ever."
KILLED UY QCAY's PROPOSED Rf LE
J It will be seen from this that the vital
par: of Mr Fi ve's speech is left out iu the
, garbled quotation given iu the Quay organ.
If Mr. Cameron and Mr. Quay bad stood
I u;> and voted an I acted with tbeir Repub
lican associates, as agreed upon iu caucu>.
to pass the elections bill and thf tariff bill
j by changing the rules, they would have
passed byth measures in t -n days' time, A*
stated by Mr. Frye iu his speech. The
opposition of the Pennsylvania senators
encouraged some of the free silver senators
i lo tbe same end, and AS a result, the
I elections bill was killed by Mr. Quay'-
proposcd rule, and MI" passage of tbe tariff
I bill was delayed until such a late day that
I tbe Republican party was overwhelmed as
' a lesult in the elections that followed.
1 Tbe vote ou the report to change tbe
rules, as given iu January, showed tbat it
lacked at that time only one vote to carry
it through. MR Cameron voted with the
Democrats, which defeated the motion,
the vote standing 35 to 34 IT the vote bad
been taken before Mr. Cameron was re
elected to the Senate, everybody knows
that he would have been compelled to
vote with tho Republican side, and his
vote would have left the decision to the
Vice President, and there *as not the
least doubt in the world as to where he
stood. But everybody knows in Washing
ton ihat Mr Cameron at thesametiine Mr.
Quav IU trod need bis rule designed to kill
the elections bill, wa- relying on Quay's
aid to defeat the bill if it should be needed
Tbe Democrats alwavs claimed that they
could have Quay's vote if tbey wanted it,
and Cameron know that ho could uot be re
J elected without Quay's assistance.
It is thus very evident from the vote
that finally resulted in killing the elec
tions bill that it might have been passed
along with the tarifl' bill if it bad not
been for the betrayal of bis trust by Mr.
Quay in introducing a rule designed to
kill the elections bill In defiance of the
Republican caucus and of the platforms of
the party. And after all this record Mr.
Quay, or some of his fool friends, have tbe
assurance to a<k the public to believe that
he "saved" the tarifl' bill.
From last week's CITIZEN.
"The Citizen and Ihe 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
tor his action in the premises.
Cameron owns Quay. 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
ever)" 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 1
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 1
wants to take a "Quay delegation"
to Minneapolis; and the only rea- 1
sons that his adherents can give
for continuing him in an office for
which he is unfit is that he served i
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 I
war records, long and good, and .
our soldier friends in this county i
who are now being misled by the '
cry of "Comrade Quay" should re- I
member that every vote they cast >
for him is a shot at soldiers who <
have better records than he.
Give Quay all credit for his I
brief military career, and all credit i
for his political work IJJ 1888 and ;
the facts remain clear and bold— 1
he is utterly unfit for the office he ]
now holds; he lias 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 hi> re-election
means, in the ordinan course of
events, the re-election ol < amcron
tivevears hence.
The other point-* of the ansuer
to our article are almost trivial.
Our literary friend sa\ s Quay is
not intalliblc, 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 ( ommoii
wealth of Pennsvh ania.
His willingness to add Galusha
A. Grow s name to tht list of
those, statesmen who should be
remembered b> 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
i that he is an unusually able man
is show n 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
1 he is or was retained by the Penn
sylvania R. R. Co.—the heartiest
1 endorsement of Quay, published
r in the "Kagle" 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.
From last week's CITIZEN.
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 "Kagle" 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 npt so frank,
and of one or two of these let us
speak.
The lengthiest of the diatribes
is that of Thomas Robin son, Esq.,
who gives a short biography of
Quay, in which he drags in the
name of Judge Agnew . forgetting
that no man in thi«j State ever
wrote a more scathing denunci
ation of the "Cameron-Quay
Combine," than did Judge D.tniel
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
I'Vanklin, the Democratic nominee,
w as 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 >ne —Why was Thomp
son retired after one term in
Congress, while honors and offices I
without number have been show
ered on Quay ?
Col. John M. Sullivan favors |
Quay's re-election because of his j
"able and faithful" public service.
That is the same expression used
in the "Eagle's" snake story,
and the same answer w ill apply, t
The Col. held office by appoint
ment, during almost his entire
active life, under Simon Cameron, i
and the present "Cameron—Quay !
Combine" and if Robinson would, ;
as he intimates, be a base ingraft- i
if he did not support the
"combine" now, no words would ,
be black enough to picture Sulli- j
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 I
Quay's record in the tariff and
honest elections bi?l. published in
another column
Newton Black casts
Jc> e over the "»hole field and
comes to the conclusion that "n«>
political event that could happen
this spring, would cause as muih
rejoicing in the Democratic camp,
as for Oua\ to be beaten in Penn
sylvania."—and that in the f.*< .
l of one defeat after an« >ther in the
strongest Republican state in the
I nion—also defeat and disgrae.
iin Quay's own C ongressional

which the rights and equities •>!

Newton say s, and be the nominee
«ho he ma) .he w ill know that
Quay's leadership. that his
methods have been exposed)
would be as blighting as the
exhalations of the Upas tree.
The assertion that the Demo
crats "want Quay out of the
road is of a dubious truthfulnes

for the present.
Republicans of Hutler Co., id.
particularly Republican soldiers
of Hutler county, consider well
the action you will take on this
matter on the 9th of April. Look
bey ond 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 bv
voting for a man who seeks hi>
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 greath
honored by the Republican part\
of this State.
Vote for the man that Comrade
Harrison favors, vote for the abW-st
man Pennsylvania has in Congress
to-day, vote for John Dalzell for
United States Senator.
