EVI) OF THE LEG I SLAT I'BK.
Both branches of the Legislature were
in almost continuous session from 1 1
a. m. of Wednesday up to the time of
adjournment, and disposed of the bills
on the calendar. The report of the
Conference Committee on the Appropri
ation bill was adopted, the presenta
tions were made and the House al
-
The Senate cleared its calendar,
elected Snyder of Clearfield, President
pro tem, adopted the conference report,
notified the House and Governor and
then adjourned.
About 800 bills were sent to the Gov
ernor. It was stated that there would
be no extra session of the Legislature
The bill giving our hospital ♦2,500 pas
ed both houses and went to the Gover
nor
An Address.
The anti Quay members of the Legis
lature held a meeting that night and
unanimously decided to issue the follow
ing address to the Republicans of Penn
sylvania :
"The anti-Quay members of the Sen
ate and House of Representatives of the
State of Pennsylvania, being about to
separate after the closing of the memor
able session of 18», make the following
statement:
',The evils of Quay and Quay ism
against which we have been contending
and shall continue to contend, have sue
ceeded in forcing an adjournment of
the Legislature withont the pas«age ot
any of the- laws for which there is such
crying need, and withont the electing
of a United State* Senator.
"At the election of the people at
the polls clearly indicated their opposi
tion to ex-Senator Quay by the selection
of a majority of the members of the
legislature opposed to his return -to the
Senate The minority supporting Mr
Quay has been large enough, however,
to prevent the election of a United States
Senator, and has refused every proposi
tion to elect some other man than ex
Senator Quay, their doctrine being that
of 'rule or ruin —the election of Quay or
nobody. We have, from the first, stood
ready and willing to elect any honest
Republican of Pennsylvania to the
United States Senate, and to bring about
that end haye cast onr votes at various
times for such sterling Republicans and
distinguished citizens as John Dalzell,
Judge John Stewart, Col. E. A. Irvin,
Charles W Stone, Charles Tubbs, Col.
George F. Huff, Charles Emory Smith.
Alvin Markle, Calvin Wells, Judge
Charles E. Rice, Benjamin F. Jones and
others.
We have offered to place in nomina
tion any distinguished Republican in
Pennsylvania, at all times standing
ready to vote for any of the great army
of reputable men who wonld honor the
State as its representative in the United
States Senate, but the men opposed to
ns have insisted that no election should
be had nnless we accepted a man who
war under indictment, charged with the
crime of unlawfully using the people s
money Every reason existing at the
beginning of the session for opposing
Mr. Quay existed at the time of taking
the last ballot, with overwhelming ad
ditional reasons, and the evidence given
to the public in the trial of the case
against him in Philadelphia has com
pletely vindicated our opposition, if vin
dication were needed
It has been shown by the books of the
Peoples bank, of Philadelphia, that he
has been in conspiracy with the treasur
ers of the State to use for his personal
benefit the moneys of the Common
wealth. It has been shown that during
the past 12 years he has had the use of
over $1,5*00,000 out of the Peoples bank
of Philidelphia, alone, for which he has
net paid to the State one dollar of in
terest.
"We call special attention to the as
tonishing fact that this corrupt use of
Stale funds was Wing carried on at a
time when the pnblic schools, the bos
pitals the asylums for the insane,homes
for the aged, institutions for the deaf,
dumb and blind and many other chari
table institutions of the State were suf
ferintc for the want of the money which
had been appropriated to them by the
Legislature.
"But the whole truth within the cov
ers of the books of the defunct Peoples
bank will never be known by the public
as the defendant, Mr. Quay, has plead
ed the statue of limitations, which con
fined the Commonwealth to the period
of during which Haywood, another of
the defendants, occupied the office of
State Treasurer. We have full conli
dence that the jieople of this state will
not allow any man to represent them in
the United States Senate who pleads
the statue of limitations to protect him
from a criminal prosecution.
"The failure to elect a United States
Senator is only one of the many evils
brought upon the State by the machina
tions of the Quay members of the Leg
islatureof 18WI. The House of Represents
tlves, for the first time in 20 years was
an anti-Quay body, and the Senate was
as certainly controlled by the friends of
Mr. Quay. Every good measure which
was brought before the House was
promptly passed, and every bad measure
was promptly defeated. We assert,
without fear of Buceessful contradiction
that the record of the Senate's work in
this respect I* the exact reverse to that
of the House Nearly every good meas
ure sent to the senate from the House
was promptly defeated, arid the bud
measures with which we have had to
contend in the Legislature have getter
ally originated in the Quay faction "t
the Senate
The House attempted to raise the
necessary revenue to wipe out the dt
licit in the State Treasury, to con'lnct
the State government and care for its
charitable institutions, by taxing beer
and Increasing the taxation on corpor
ations, but l*»th these measures were
promptly throttled by the Quay control
led Senate The House promptly p;:.- •
the bill submitted by the tax conference
which proposed to impost; the burden of
taxation impartially on all classes of
property, but this bill met the same
fate at the hands of the Quayitcs in the
Senate
"The thoughtful men of all parties
anil factions admit that reforms are
greatly needed in the present ballot
laws of the State, and such reform?-
were projswed and passed by the House
the resnlt in the Senate being the same
as with the other reform bill* referred
to it
"The testimony developed by the
committee of the House appointed to
Investigate the charges of bribery with
reference tb the election of a t nited
States Senator and the so called McCar
rel bill was linmt startling in it.« char
acter The re|s»rt of the committee
which was adopted by the House, rec
ommends the prosecution for the crime
of bribery and attempted bribery of no
less than nine i»ersons, including one
member of the House of Representa
tives, all of whom were operating in the
interest of Mr Quay, and in addition
to these there were a great number of
caws in which, although the testimony
was not sufficient to recommend crim
inal prosecutions, yet, taking all <>t t'.e
testimony adduced, an unprejudiced
mind must be convinced that the halls
or legislation, from the Isginiiiug of
the session until the end, were swaim
in? with lobbyists of the moet unstTTtipu
lons and desperate character, ami that
the- whole official atmosphere of Harris
burg was laden with th»- ?teiich of cor
rnption. This testimony show- that
sums as high as sl,o**o were offered for
a -iu«le vote upon the notorions McCar
rel bill, and t'.-at as gTe.it a sum as
was offered to secure a single
vote f' rMr for United Stater-
Senator
We congratulate the people of the
State and especially those of our fel
low citizen* who are co-operating with
ns. on winning the first great battle of
the campaign against the political
syndi<-ate known as the Quay machine
in the interest of common decency and
public moral* And we take pleasure
in making this pnblic acknowledgement
of the ine-timable value to the cause,
to which we are all devoted, of the aid
and sn; ; rt given to ns by the public
press of the State.
The political revolution which is in
progrcs- in Pennsylvania is so far ad
vance.; as to make the ultimate triumph
of onr canse now certain. We defeated
Quay the man we now propose to
carry on the contest until we have de-
that monstrous system of misrule
and corruption for which his name
stands as the exponent And with re
newed and heightened courage and
confidence, we invite every one of onr
fellow citizens who loves his State
better than hi - party, and who loves
his party better than any individual or
set of individuals in that party, to co
o;s-rate with us in onr efforts to inaugu
rate an era of common honestv and
d- i ncy in the administration of public
affairs.

miles north of Manila.
Acquitted and Appointed
At the opening of the court on Thnr
dav, Attorney Watson for Quay moved
th2t the court withdraw the case from
the jury and direct a verdict of not
guilty he tilso moved to strike out the
"red-book from the evidence: Dist.
Attorney lio therm el answered him the
court refused to take the case from the
jury. Attorney Shields then said the
defense would offer no testimony;
District Att y. Rothermel addressed the
jury first and was followed by Shields.
Judge Biddle did not go into the evi
dence. He said the case had been ably
conducted and he would leave the de
cision to their judgement. At first his
charge appeared to be a shade against
Senator Quay, but as he proceeded it
was apparent that the impression the
jury must get from his words was one
of impartiality. He said:
"By the law of Pennsylvania three
things'are forbidden depositing State
fnnds to the profit of the State
urer, loans, of State fund* with or with
ont testimony, and the conversion of
State fnnds to a third party. Nobody
conspires op nly except on the stage.
Judge Biddle then read an opinion on
criminal conspiracy which held that in
order to discover conspiracy justice is
obliged to follow all the devious ways
of the conspirators. The opinion
agreed with his own, frequently ex
pressed during the trial, that individual
and apparently isolated acts were evi
dence to prove conspiracy.
Judge Biddle then read to the jury
two points of law submitted by the de
fense which he affirmed. A number of
other i>oints were not affirmed. The
jury left the conrt room, with the case
of the Commonwealth versus Quay
entirely in their hands at exactly
o'clock. Court then adjourned, but it
was agreed that if the jury found a ver
dict l>efore 10 o'clock that night the
judg?* and counsel v/ould »e sent for
and the decision announced.
The jury was out all night, 20 hours
in all and came in next morning at 11
o'clock, arid returned a verdict of "not
guilty, and within an hour after, Goy
Stone appointed Quay to fill the vacancy
in the U. S Senate. His note to Vice
President Hobart reads as follows:
Sir Bv virtui of the power vested
in me as executive of the State of Perm
sylvani.i. under Article I , Clause
Section of the Constitution of th--
United State- I hereby make temix>rary
appointment of Hon. Matthew Stanley
Quay t'< be United States Senator from
Pennsylvania until the next meeting of
the legislature of Pennsylvania, to fill
the vacancy exist;n«in thi- State.''
The constitutional authority which
the Governor quotes as giving him the
right to apjioint 1# found in Section
Article 1., of the Constitution of the
United States, which reads as follows.
"And if vacancies happen by resigna
tion, or otherwise, during a rece-s of
the Legislature of any State the Excrtv
tiye thereof may make appointment
until thc > next meeting of the Jjegisla
ture wliicl* shall then fill such vacan
cies."
This interpretation of the Constitn
tion by the Governor is disputed by
those who say that the vacancy did not
occur during a recess, but while th<
Legislature was in session, and that
consequently tie Governor s only duty
was to call the Legislature into extra
session for the purpose of filling the
vacancy.

For the People to .Judge.
The result of the Quay trial has a
good many aspect*. The friends ot ,
Quay will dsym it as a vindication, of t
course and the opponents will look at |
it as a miscarriage of justice, and be j
tween the two tne great mass of public
opinion will be divided on these lines, j ]
With that fact in view it is an idle '
task to argue on the point whether the j
verdict is according to the evidence, in • f
expectation of changing any person's
estimate of the resnlt.
Viewed simply as a trial the most •
unsatisfactory aspect of the case was (
the haste with which the case on loth ■ ■
sides was closed after the election for j •
Senator had finally failed. There is an j
air about thi- as if both sides had been
dragging along to get the trial beyond !
the adjournment and then were ready j
to let it go to a jury in almost any !
shape. Perhaps it is merely a coinci
dence but if it is more than that both
sides are about alike in that respect.
Leaving entirely to legal expert- the
question whether the verdict was ac- 1
cording to the evidence; even accepting j
the prima facie aspect, that so much of
the evidence counsel for the defens?
were unable to keep from the jury did .
not warrant a verdict of guilty, the
question remains, what is there in the
case for the people? Six months ago
the charges were published that large
deposits of State funds were made in
the Peoples Bank, to l>e nsed by Senator
Quay: the documentary evidence was
produced; and the public view was that
unless those charges were refuted and
the documentary evidence shown to the
bogus the Senator would stand convict
ed l>efore the p. opleof using State funds
for bis private purposes. We under
stand the declaration to IK- made on
his part that this was the way in which
the charges would be met.
The actual line of defense presents a
striking contrast to that expected ref- :
utation. One of the principal bulwarks
of the defense was in excluding a con
siderable number of transactions under
the statute of limitations. This is an
undoubted legal right, but does it
strengthen a pnblic man s case before
the people, that be is able to shut out
the proof of what he has done in past
years? Another theory 'if the defense
was that the money of the State, de
posited in bank, became bank funds,
which is a legal refinement not calcu
lated to obfuscate the public perception
thai the State money was turned into j
bank funds, in order that fnnds for the
operations of the Quay family could be
furnished. The fact remains that the 1
vital parts of the charges of Last fall
were proved in court The deposit of
State fnnds is undisputed; the 1 irge
loans to Senator Quay without interest
are not contradicted; the deposit of nn
extra SIOO,OOO of State money in order
that a loan for R. R. Quay might be
carried was proved beyond question.
About the only impoitant allegation
that was seriously met by the defense
was the one relating to the payment of
interest by the bank to leading poli
ticians; and that was only met by dog- 1
matic contradiction of the authenticity
of the entries in the ' red book."
The question for the people to answer
in regard to this case is whether the
facts that are demonstrated, that are
even uncontradicted, show an honest,
carefnl administration of the State
Treasury for the benefit of the people
No honest and intelligent man will be
able to find more than one answer to
thai question. -Dispatch
