BOSS POLITICS.
The Eagle, in its last issue, under the
head of "The Majority Rule," has an
article advocating that principle, with
which we agree —which is that the
will of the majority, freely and fairly
expressed, must be respected.' All fair
minded men agree with this, and the
surprising thing to us is that The Eagle
will talk in that wav, and at the same
time gc on supporting the Quay ma
chine, and the set of fellows, who for
many years have made it a study how
the "will of the majority ' could be set
aside and the "will of the Boss" made
supreme.
The older ones of our readers will re
member the Presidential campaign of
1876. At that time that peerless states
man, and Republican leader, the ideal of
Pennsylvania Republicans, James G.
Blaine was at the zenith of his powers
mentally, physically,and politically,and
by his devotion to Republican principles
and the cause of the people had endear-
Ed himself to the Republican masses of
the State. He was their ideal man for
President and had the people been given
a chance to vote their choice for Presi
dent at the primaries when delegates to
that Republican of Republicans, James
G. Blaine. How was the "will of the
majority" respected in this Convention?
The sequel will show. In the choosing
of delegates to the National Convention
the Pennsylvania Bosses had themselves
chosen as delegates, and by applying
the party lash they were enabled to
whip into line enough weak kneed dele
gates, who, added to fellows who fol
low politics as a business, obeying the
orders of the boss at all times and
"crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
that thrift may follow fawning," made
a majority of the delegation, and adopt
ed the "gag rule" that the delegation
vote as a whole on all questions in the
Convention. They next adopted a reso
lution that the vote of the Pennsylvania
delegation be given to the amiable Gov
ernor John F. llartranft, a man who
had about as much chance of being
nominated for President as you or I
have of flying to the moon. When the
Convention met in Cincinnatti the fol
lowing of Mr. Blaine was large and
enthusiastic, he was the undoubted
choice of the people, but that mean,
low, jealousy of others that ever pre
vades the mind of the Boss was in
force and the manipulators were at
work. When the balloting began James
G. Blaine had by far the leading yote
of the Convention, but not enough to
nominate. The Pennsylvania delega
tion under the dictation of the Bosses
with one or two exceptions who stood
by Blaine regardless of the Bosses voted
for llartranft, throwing away i their
votes, whereas if the will of the people
of Pennsylvania had been respected the
delegation would have voted for their
choice and Blaine would have lieen
nominated on the first ballot, and
would have swept the country at the
fall election. But under tbe manage
ment of the Bosses the balloting con
tinued till finally a break was made to
Gov. Hays, of Ohio, a go-sl natured,
motherly sort of a man, but who did
not size up to the requirement of the
Presidential office at that time. The
older ones of our readers will remem
ber what n hard fought campaign it was
and how near we came to losing alto
gether, as we won by barely one vote in
the electoral collage—Hays 18."», Tilden
184 and all the turmoil, and uncertain
ty for months, the Electoral Commis
sion, and danger that threatened the
country, was brought about by the
jealously, and selfishness of the Bosses
of the Pennsylvania delegation not
obeying the "will of the people" and
voting for llartranft and not for Blaine.
Then again in 1880 Blaine was the
choice of the Republicans of Pennsylva
nia for President,'but the same tactics
were played by the Bosses with the
Pennsylvania delegation, the vote was
given to another candidate and resulted
in Garfield being nominated instead of
Blaine, and thus the "will of the peo
ple" was again thwarted by the dicta
tion of the IJosses. The Eagle knows
all this, did not approve of it at the
time, yet for some strange ( !) reason it
still supports Quay and his crowd, who
thus brought about the defeat of tin
choice of the majority of the people of
Pennsylvania. And l>y this course the j
people of this country were deprived of '
the services of one of the brightest,
brainest and far-seeing statesmen of
our time, James G. Blaine During
the short time that he was Secretary of
State under the lamented Garfield and
while in the same position under Harri
son the people were an idea of
his grasp of public affairs, 'V.c revision
of our tariff with reciprocity added, the
extension of our merchant marine, the
Congress of the American Republics, by 1
which onr relations with Sonth Anieri- j
ca, Mexico and Central America were •
enlarged, improved and strengthened,
and onr trade increased; all these show j
the capacity of the man. and that the !
people were right in wanting him for
President. When he could accomplish j
so much in a subordinate position in j
the government, how much moie could i
have been accomplished had he been at j
the head of affairs in the office of Presi i
dent is a matter the people can think
over for themselves. And more than
that, they can call to mind that they
were deprived of the services of their
ideal, James Q. Blaine, by the conni\ -
ing of selfish, unscrnpnlous. political
Bosses, who would sacrifice every thing
the people desire so they can nave their
way.
We ask our readers if it is not time
the Boss was dispensed with? The mat
ter rests entirely with the people. If
they want to continue it, vote for the
Quay candidates for Senate and Assem
bly, but if they want to put an end to
it, vote for the anti-Quay candidates for
Senate and Assembly.
The answer can be given at the pri
maries. March 24th.
Ox Friday but one-hundred men were

THE EAGI.E is alwavs prating about
regularity, and that the will of the ma
jority should rule, etc. We agree with
it on this and always support the nomi
nee, and we go further and say we don t
know any set of fellows who pay less
attention to the will of the majority
than Quay and his followers. We have
an illustration in our election of last
week. In the 4th ward of Butler, F. E.
Mitchell, a good working Republican,
was nominated for Council; and J. L.
Garrowav, another good Republican,
was nominated for School Director.
The ward is Republican by a nice ma
jority. At the election Mitchell was
defeated and Garroway had a tie with
his opponent. They were both regular
ly nominated —the choice of the majori
ty —no question about th : 't, but we rive
it on good authority that they were de
feated by Quay followers, for one of
the Quay crowd stated since the elec
tion "'he knew why Mitchell and Gar
roway were defeated, they were anti-
Quay, and that he knew of eight Quay
yotes that were cast against them.
This fellow no doubt told the truth,
as the result bears out his statement.
Quay is for "majority rule" as long as
he can have his way, but when hp can't
then he don t give a snap for majorities,
and his gang follow in his foot steps.

OUK neighbor. Thomas Robinson, the
erstwhile editor of the Eagle, has a train
entered the political arena after "retir
ing from politics" once a year for a good
many years past, and had himself inter
viewed on the political situation in the
Dispatch of last Saturday. Our friend
with personal grievences. There will
be a lively campaign but the REGULAR
TICKET will be elected without trou
ble. The situation in Butler is not se
rious. '
We would like to ask our venerable
friend what constitutes the "regular
ticket?" Who are the parties running
on his "regular ticket," and who gives
him the right to say who is "regular
and who is not? Has he a Long Dis
tance Telephone oyer which he gets his
instructions as to "regular" and "irreg
ular?'' We would like to be informed
on the matter. We have been verdant
enough to think all the candidates were
"Republicans from away back."
Give us some information please?
WE are pleased to note that the Ea
gle took our suggestion and made "the
amende honorable" to the Zelienople
Republicans, when th~y, through their
spokesman, John Weigle informed it of
its error. We would kindly suggest to
our neighbor that if it would throw olf
the yoke of the "Quay machine" and
speak out for the good of the people
more than it has done it would not
make such blunders. Don't you think
Mr. Eagle that Quay has had his full
share at the public crib, and that it is
about time he would take a rest and
give the people one also.

WASHINGTON NOTES.
On Thursday of last week nator
Penrose renewed his notice that he
would move the consideration of the
Quay case nest day, and as that was
Washington's Birthday, the ; Senate ad
journed after the reading of the Fare
well Address.
On Friday the Senate by a vote of 34
to 28 agreed to take np the Quay case,
and Mr. Daniels, Dtm.. of Virginia ad
dressed the Senate in favor of Quay's .
right to a seat. An agreement was
reached in the House that day, that the j
vote on the Puerto Rican tariff bill be
taken at Bp. m. Tuesday, general de
bate to close Monday.
On Saturday Penrose again gave j
notice of his intentions to call up the
Quay case, Monday. j
On Monday Senator Tnrley of the j
Committee on Privileges took the initi
ative in the Qua}* case, relieving Mr.
Penrose of the necessity of asking the
chair to lay before the Senate the reso
lution declaring that M. S. Quay is not
entitled to a seat in the Senate. Mr.
Tnrley is regarded as one of the abltst
lawyers in the Senate, and his argu
ment received marked attention, notice
ably from those senators who haye re
cently taken their seats, and who.there
fore. are not familiar with the argn :
ments in past cases. His speech was
an elaborate discussion cf the constitu
tional points raised in the majority re
port of the committee on Privileges and
Elections, which declared Col. Quay
not entitled to a -seat under appoint
ment of the governor, and his deduction
was that "if ever there was a case in
whi'-h the governor of a state, was,
under the constitution, without power
to fill the vacancy, it is this one. The
action of the governor was in the teeth
of every provision of the constitution
bearing upon the subject.
The Conference Committees, that
day, amended the title of the Puerto
Rican bill, and agreed upon a rate of 15
per cent to raise revenue for the gov
ernment of the island, the same to end
March I 1902.
During the debate ou the Porto Rico
bill Monday, Mr. Boutell, Rep., of 111.;
was interrupted several times by Mr.
Cochran, Dern , of Mo., and compared
him to the man whose epitaph reads:
Here lief, the body of Robert Gordon.

Stranger, tread lightly near this wonder.

Clippings From t!»«' Press,
The organs of the Quay machine have
evidently received orders to denounce
the ballot-box frauds in Philadelphia,
and they are giving it to the convicted
criminals red hot. But they have not
one word of denunciation for the greater
scoundrels who planned the crimes that
have landed their wretched tools in the
penitentiary. The machine organs dare
not go that far, yet they well know that
the three men who were sent to the
penitentiary a few days ago were the
hirelings of the machine bosses. But
then, the machine organs are also hire
lings.— Wilkesbarre Record
The men who should be wearing the
stripes in the penitentary today for
crime against our ballot laws are those
unclean creatures who manipulate the
machine politics in Philadelphia: who
bask iu the sunshine of their masters
favor and whose names are listed in the
official directory of the city and State
governments.
The political death of Quay and bis
machine would cleanse the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania of the rotten"
ness and corruption that is fast destroy
ing the fair fame of onr State and
wrecking the structure of honest and
pure government erected by those
patriots and statesmen whose public ser
vice was only for public interest, whose
only ambition was to promote the wel
fare of the people and make Pennsyl
vania great and powerful in the sister
hood of States. -Belle Fonte Republican.
While Mr. Quay's henchmen in some
of the interior counties—with a recent
demonstration of it in Chester county
—are making a tremendous lot of noire
about sticking to the ticket, Mr. Quay's
henchmen in Philadelphia have been
cutting some of the Republican candi
dates to give their votes to Democrats
regularly nominated on the Democratic
ticket. The only ticket Quay hench
men ever stick to anywhere is the Quay
ticket— Philadelphia Press.
The opinion prevails at Washington
that the case of M. S. Quay is being de
layed from time to time by the senators
with the hope that Governor Stone w ill
relieve them of the unpleasant duty of
rejecting Quay by convening the legis
lature in extra session to elect a senator,
as the costitution of Pennsylvania de
mands. Of course the governor will
continue to be governed by Mr. Quay s
wishes. If Ouay should give the word
the legislature would be convened at
once. Some j)eople in Washington ap
pear not to know that M. S. Quay s will
is the only constitution and the only
law Governor Stone recognizes.—
Wilkesbarre Record.
On the night before election thou

Harrisburg. Feb. 27. —By the time
this letter reaches its readers Mr.
Quay's case will have been
taken up in the senate of the Lnited
States for discussion. It will be re
membered that at a caucus of the Re
publican senators it was unanimously
agreed that the Quay case be side
tracked to let the Porto Rican and Ha
waiian bills have the right of 'way.
This is equivalent to placing the case
on the shelf, as was stated at the time.
But Senator Penrose and Mr. Quay
were not satisfied, and a day or so
later Senator Penrose stated that he
did not propose to let the matter rest
on the action of the caucus, and that
he would call the case up and have it
disposed of. This in effect was a re
fusal to recognize the caucus action.
It is simply a demonstration of what
has been so often claimed by the Re
publicans who are opposing Mr. Quay s
re-election that whenever it suited the
purposes of tho Quay people to ignore,
the caucus decision or bolt a caucns
they did it without regard for prece
dence or established rule. It is so in
this case. The vote by which it was
agreed to permit the Quay case to
come up was 34 ayes to 24 nays, Demo
crats as well as Republican senators
voting on the question.
Among those who voted against tak
ing up the case were administration
leaders like Hanna, Proctor and others
who when the case comes for direct
vote before the senate will doubtless
vote to seat Mr. Quay. But by voting
against taking up the case now they
were voting to sustain the action of
the caucus. On the other hand they
recognized the binding effect of a cau
cus and did not propose even in a case
where Senator Quay was so vitally in
terested to let a caucus rule be broken.
But Senator Penrose had no such
scruples, and on the plea that the case
involved the hishest privilege, he call
ed it up and declared that he would
push it to a conclusion no matter what
stood in the .vay or what caucus plans
were set aside.
CAUCUS NOT BINDING
The plea the Quayites and the ma
chine is making fu this state to secure
the election of Cjuav members of the
house and senate is that Republicans
who refuse to enter a Quay caucus at
Harrisburg are not regular Republi
cans. and are outside the pale of the
party. Tt suits the machine and its
puposes to do this, but when it suits
the purpose of Senator Penrose or Mr.
Quay to ignore a caucus in Washing
ton to accomplish their ends they ig
nore the »rv they raise in Pennsylva
nia and act they see fit. By this ac
tion Senator Penrope has established a
precedent for ignoring a caucus at
Harrisburg or anywhere else.
The alliance of the Quay machine
with the Ryan Democracy in Philadel
phia was a9f; ; .in exposed in the Philadel
phia elections on Tuesday last. In
every ward in Philadelphia where the
machine is in control the most desper
ate efforts were made to defeat two or
three of the regular Republican magis
trates and elect Democrats in their
stead. Three regular Republican nom
nees, viz: Magistrates South. Gillespie
and Smith, were selected for defeat by
the Quav machine, that their places
might be eiven to Democrats. In re
turn the Rvan Democracy was to cast
Its vote in the future for any candi
dates that Quay or his machine de
sired at any city election.
But the Municipal League and the
anti-Quay Republicans knew just what
to expect and were prepared for it.
The Municipal League nominated a
ticket of ten magistrates, some of
whom were Democrats whom the Ryan
Democracy had turned down, and the
others were Republicans who had
been thrown overboard by the Quay
machine because they had done their
duty fearlessly regardless of the ma-
Republican, and Eisenbrown, Demo
crat. The machine hates Jermon and
refused to let him be placed on the
regular Republican ticket because ho
was the magistrate before whom the
Quay criminal cases were brought, and
who, in the pursuance of his duty, held
Mr. Quay for court on the charge of
using the people's money. Magistrate
Eisenbrown, a Democrat, was turned
down by the Ryan Democracy for re
nomination at the demand of the Quay
machine because he was the magistrate
before whom the notorious repeaters,
ex-Representative "Sam" Salter and
his gang were tried and hold for court.
Salter was a shining light in the ma
chine, and with four others is now a
fugitive from justice for stuffing ballot
boxes. For having done his duty Eisen
brown was turned down.
In the case of Magistrates South and
Gillespie, they were known to be
friends of State Senator David Martin,
and for this reason they were hated by
the ring, but despite the work of the
repeaters on the fraudulent election
boards and forged tax receipts these
gentlemen were re-elected by regular
Republican majorities. Though the
Municipal League put up ten candi
dates for magistrate on their ticket,
only three were elected, viz: Jermon,
Eisenbrown and Ladner. Ladner is
another able Democrat turned down by
Ryan and the Quay Democratic annex
because he refused to recognize either
(the Quay ring or their Democratic al
lies.
A GREAT VICTORY.
This victory over the combined
forces of the Republican machine and
their Democratic associates is one of
the greatest ever achieved in Philadel-
Dhii*. It wrought consternation in the
Quay camp and created such havoc
among Democrats that It Is more than
likely that the present Democratic or
ganization In Philadelphia will go to
pieces. As it is, these Democrats are
not Democrats. It is merely an organ
ization of the most disreputable ele
ments in the slums of the city, banded
together to make whatever they can
out of politics by fraud, repeating and
ballot box stuffing in conjunction with
the Republican machine.
Another instance showing how Mr.
Quay disregards party principle is the
case of Congressman E. F. Acheson, of
Washington county. Congressman
Acheson has the indorsement and con
trol of the regular Republican organ
ization in the
nional district. Ilis Republie;ft?ism has
never been questioned, but because he
refuses to follow the leadership of Mr.
Quay the latter Is using every means
In his power to defeat him for re-elec
tion. As the sympathies of southwest
ern Pennsylvania are with Mr. Aclie
son and against Mr. Quay, he is cer
tain to he re-elected and an anti-Quay
delegation sent to the legislature from
Washington county.
