The Etgle is . utinually harping on
the can .-string and berating the RI -
_ publicans who did not go into the cau
cus that was held by "'Bill Andrews
and other Quay "rounders and heelers
at the meeting of the Legislature of
!«!*» but has ne\-T s word to s.»y to it
reailers of Quay - v iolation of law an 1
j caucus w hen the Lcgislut UP- of I*9»
i was at work.
! The ("• institution of Pennsylvania
i s|»s-ially provides that the <ien'*ral As
' -embly. after every census taken,
SHAIX apportion the state into wnator
ial aud other districts. The apportion
ment having been neglect«*d. the Ri -
pnblii an Convention of IK»S, by resoln
tin ailed for an apportionment of the
state by the next legislature. When
the legislature met. the Republicans
U-ing tin the majority. proceeded
to obey the constitution and the in
s»ruction of the Hepublican Convention
When the ap|s»rtiontuent bill WAS
r.-fuly for submission, it lieing of a poli
tical nature, a Hepublican caucus was
regularly called to consider the bill
The evening of the caucus, "Bill An
drews. th. n a Senator from Crawford
county. Penrose then a Senator from
Philadelphia, and some more Quay
heelers, stationed themselves near tl e
entrance to the hall where the caucus
was to Is- h. ld and by pleading, coal
ing l»rowl» ating and every other means
they could use. tried their best to keep
Republicans from doing tlieir duty.
The principal reason was. the old man
Quay, don t want a caucus. About
ninety jiercent of the Republicans at
tended the caucus, and the apportion
ment IHII was agreed to.
The bill was then put on its passage
through the legislature. By reason of
having m» apportionment we have
l*»-n electing two Congressmen-at-
in the state. The apportionment
bill got well under headway, in spite of
all the opposition the Quay crowd could
throw in its way, and was about to le
come a law. Quay did not want it to
become a law something must be
done soh. left his senatorial duties at
Washington, went to Harrisburg and
euodHiiivil "lining np the Republicans'
against the bill. He soon found tli -y
had some regard for theiroath "to sup
j«.rt the Constitution of Pennsylvania,
ami that he could not get enough Re
publicans to kill the bill, so he turns to
the Dtunx*rats. and with his handful of
rounders and heelers in the Republi
can ranks mikes a deal with the Dem
ocrats by which the bill was defeat -1.
Here was a clear violation of the Con
stitution which says au appropriation
SHALJ. is- made after every decennial
census an utter disregard of tin- Repub
lican caucus that had agreed to an np
pirtionment bill, showing that Quay
don t care a snap for constitution, la v,
caucus or anything else, unless it brings
eggs to his luisket, which iu this case is
the selection of tw.> Congressmen,
through a sutis rvieiit State Convention

Why all this fuss and bother about
ele.-tiug ' Quay men t > the legislature"
to re-elect Qiay senator when the
people don't want him"; Quay has
lieeti holding office continuously for
about FORTY-FIVE TEARS which is
surely enough for one man. Let Mr
Quay retire to his fishing preserve in
Florida and devote his time exclusively
to fishing if he wants to. Then let tilt
legislature elect Jobn Dalzell senator
and all this "'fossification. ' bickering
and tight ing within the party will
cease. Let all our voters who agree to
this vote for tii .* Aati-Quav can lid it's.
WHAT IS THK "IHtCI.VN
TION."
The Eagle is talking alsait tne
"organization;" "you must stand by tie
organization," etc. We ask what is tie*
organisation that our neighbor is s<>
anxious about? As far as we know it
consists of Quay. "Bill" Andrews. Pen
rose. Durham and a few others who
want to dictate all nominations and
want the [teoplc to endorse theui. Take
our last State campaign -Quay. Andrews,
Penrose and a few others met one
day in early part of last summer at
Atlantic City. They selected a
candidate for State Treasurer and a
lawyer by the name of Adams, of
Philadelphia, for Sujierior Court Judge.
Then a call is put out for a State Con
vention Ih-legates are elected. the
names Selected at Atlantic City were
presented to the convention, the dose
was taken without a grin aud the
nominations made. What is the result?
The record of Mr Adams the lawy -r 1
selected for the Sti|ierior Court would
not liear public scrutiny and the ln>---s
c included they could uot face the i
people with their selection and took ■
Adam's name off the ticket, called the
SMte Committee together -and named ,
another man. This the organization i
the Eagle talks about. If the vote -s 1
want a change, ami we think one is
needed, vote for the anti-Quay candi- ,

QUAY'S TIUAL.
The Quay organ of our county in sev
eral of its late issues has stated to its
readers that "Quay was trinmphantly
acquitted of the charges against him on
his trial for illegally using state mon
ie, Wc have heard some Republicans
ask what the trial was about. and why
it was not brought sooner?" For the
information of such we would say, the
prosecution grew out of the failure of
the Peoples Bank of Philadelphia, (a
bank started by Quay and others) which
was a very large depository of state
fund' When the bank failed the cash
ier. John H Hopkins, killed himself:
and a Receiver was put in charge of its
aifairs On examination of the liooks
aud pajiers of the bank. and the private
book- of the cashier, the crookedness of
the bank - management was discovered,
ami the evidence was obtained ou which
the prosecution of Quay was based.
Had the bank not failed, the evidence
of "crooked work" would never have
seen the light of <lay. When the bank 8
affairs were wouml np and all the as
sets gathered. there was still a shortage
of over <400,000.
The Eagle may talk as it will, and
ajiologize for Quay all it can. but the
fact stiil remains that the funds of the
State Treasury, (the people's money)
wt re used, if not by Quay personally, as
collateral security for the note of his
son. I:. K yuay, for f IOO.OOO. What
right was there in Haywood. Quay or
any set of fellows to have an "under
standing" that State money would not
be drawn on till Quay's son should pay
his note.
The following letter will give some of
our readers some information they may
not have had before, and will also show
how triuuiphautlyC?) Quay was acquit
ted:
PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 4. L'.MK). There
is no well informed person in Eastern or
Central Pennsylvania who does not
fully understand the circumstances of
ex-Senator Quay's acquittal of the
t lia of conspiracy to use the funds of
the State Treasury tor his own and his
family's advantage. In that now fam
ous trial one of the pieces of evidence
tending to show that a conspiracy ex
isted between Senator Quay, the late
State Treasurer B. J. Haywood and
Cashier John H. Hopkins was the fol- j
lowing remarkable letter written by
State Treasurer Haywood to James |
McMaues. President of the ruined
People's Bank of Philadelphia, one of
the leading State depositories:
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Treas
uary Department, Harrisburg, I'a.
July :$1 —96.
James McManee Esq., Peoples Bank.
"Philadelphia.
Dear Sir: On Monday we will mail
yon a check for SIOO.OOO for credit of
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Gen
eral Fund, which will make a credit to

standing is that I am not t«> draw
against any part of this depo-it until
Hon. R. R. Quay has paid or arranged
satisfactory to you the loan of SIOO,OOO
which von are to make him next week.
Very truly
B. J. Haywood. State Treasurer.
Supplementing this remarkable letter ,
was a telegram sent from Canada by the
then State Tri-asnrer, Mr. Haywood, to 1
Mr Hopkins. Cashier a few clays aft-r. 1
while Mr. Hay w«sl was on a vacation.
It is as follows: ,
I wrote to your President last Friday
uight. saying we would not draw any '
l>art of the deposit of <a»0O,o00 until R. <
It. Quay had paid or arranged satisfac
tory to yon the s|oo,ooo you were to ,
loan him last week."
Si nee Senator Quay's appearance in '
Washington where he has been trying,
with his friends, to induce the United t
States Senate to admit him on the certi j
ticate of appointment l>y Governor t
Stone, a number of Quay newspapers in
Western Pennsylvania have lteen mak- j
ing frantic efforts to prove that Senator i
Quay is a persecuted man and that Ins |
ai qnittal in Philadelphia on the crtni
inal charge of conspiracy is proof of
their assertions. They fail to tell their - s
renders, however, that the Attorneys of
Senator Quay pleaded limitation on cer
tain iuqiortant evidence. That it was
localise of the failure to get this evi- ] "
dence liefore the Jury proving that the li
conspiracy was not alone with Mr. Hay j,
wood us State Treasurer, but with every
other Stat. Treasurer since Senator
Quay s occupancy of that office, that his I'
acquittal was largely ilne. o
The statute of limitations was raised ~
by his Attorneys against the admission ,
of incriminating evidence as the follow '
iog extracts from published reports of. 1
the trial show. JI
The original indictment charged all ~
of the Stat'- Treasurers from M S Quai
down, together with Cashier Hopkins of e
the ](M>t««l People's Bank, and < 'has H i'
Mi K«- of Pittsburg with conspiracy. ©
During the trial the Attorm ys of Mr. ~
Quay, viz David Watson of Pittsburg "
and Rufus E. Sliapley and A. S L a
Shields of Philadelphia pleaded the lini
itation of time when the District Attor
ney, Mr. Rothermel, offered to prove
that Quay had la-en conspiring ever
,-ince IKSI; with all ot the State Treas
urers. Here are the extracts: S
Prosecuting Attorney Rothermel p
May it please the < ourt. the Grand Jurj

tliis ■ xiispiracy which is alleged ilid not .
start as we allege it did, in the time of
M S. Quav and continued with ea>-h of *
the State Treasurers in succession up to '
the present time. We are showing a
continuing conspiracy. We are show 11
ing the existence of the conspiracy to j"
day by n asuii of it having been formed
with each of the individuals who stood M
in thi same ]M.sitioi: as Benjamin J. "
Ha\ wood, I icing State Treasurer.
The Court Do you mean to say that ".
this conspiracy with Quay commenced '
at that time?
Mr. Rothermel In ISiXI. yes sir.
The Court Is that what you offer to

Mr Rothermel Yes sir.
Mr. Sharplev The bill does not K

Mr. Rothermel It is a matter of I)
evidence not of charge. We propose to J
prove these very facts, the purpose
Mlf toMtshttn that this conspiracy »
was originated in lssi;, and that con
tinned until the present time.
The Court Your offer is to show "
that Quay was a party.
Mr Rothermel That is the allega
tion of the <iiiiiniiiiwealth, for which "
wi- offer this evidence.
Mr Wat-on Attorney for Mr Quayi
M- friend Mr. Rothermel) says they !.'
intend showing a continuing conspiracy '
from this This is what was proposed
to do in the Bartleson case.and tin-< 'ourt
ruled it was unlawful. There is no
such thingasa "continuingconspiracy,"
But a conspiracy must la- within two
years
Au hour or more of time was sja-nt
by the Attorneys aud the Court over the n
question whether or not the evidence
-lioulil U iduiitted that the defendant, cl
Quay, hail t«-en in a continuous con V
quracy with State Treasurers in the
Matter ni (he misuse of State funds, ft j]
was i i.M iidil by .VlrQuay's Attorneys -j.
that nothing beyond two yeais linuta- ti
tion shiuld be taken into consideration,
and the following taken from Mr
Sliarpley's remarks is conclusive: Mr.
Sharpley had qnoted from the opinion
in the case ot the Commonwealth vs.
Bartleson. and drawing a paralel said.
"I submit in this case therefore, as I
suggested before, and as my colleague sug
gested a number of times, that all this
evidence which relates to Morrison or
Boyer or Hart or Livsey, or any of the
other payments to them, does not fall
within that case, but is strictly ruled
out by the early portion of the opinion.
The opinion "to which Mr. Sharpley
referred when pleading for Mr. s
exemption, was given by the Supreme
Court which quashed two indictments
in the Bartleson conspiracy case because
the crime charged was barred by the
statute of limitation.
At this point the prosecuting at
torney took issue with Mr. Quay's at
torney when the following interesting
discussion ensued:
The Court —Who do you allege this
conspiracy that you are talking about
was between?
Mr, Rothermel—The original con
spiracy we allege, was between Quay
and -the officers of the bank and the
State Treasurer, whoever he was. At
that time Quay himself was State
Treasurer. The conspiracy for the
bank by John S. Hopkins. We propose
to show by the testimony that it was
joined by Various Ktate Treasurers up
to the time of Haywood.
The Court Do you allege that at the
time of the conspiracy Hopkins was in
it?
Mr. Rothtrmal Hopkins was in it at
the time as to which 1 am going to offer
evidence.
The Court Hopkins was in it?
Mr. Kothermal -Hopkins was in it
at the time to which this evidence ap
plies.
Mr. Sharpley (Quay's Attorney) He
is not a defendant; he is not indicted.
Mr. Watson (Quay's Attorney) He
was not in it in 1896.
Cashier Hopkins had blown out his
brains because the Peoples Bank was
ruined through politics and speculation.
The language of Mr. Watson clearly
indicates that it was the determination
of Mr. Quay's counsel to let no evidence
appear that could be barred by the
statute of limitations. Both Mr. Wat
son and Mr. Sharpley argued ably and
learnedly to prove that any testimony
concerning former State Treasurers,
and Mr. Quay's connection with them,
or any payments of money as interest
to State Treasurer should be ruled as
inadmissable under the statute of
limitation in the trial of his case.
The Court rnled. under the law. that
their contention was right and that the
evidence which the prosecuting
attorney offered concerning Quay s
compicity in transactions with
ST AIL-: TREASURERS AS FAR AS INSIS
SHOULD BK RULED OUT.
The above evidence is taken from the
published stenographic reports of the
trial and the arguments of counsel
Anv Attorney, or any intelligent man
unfamiliar with court proceedings, can
readily see how in the aliove manner
Mr. Quay's Attorneys pleaded the stat
ute of limitations as to time. Under
such showing the claims that Mr. Quay
was jiersecuted. that his acquittal clears
him of all charges, as to State 1 r>* i-urv
mismanagement in years past, is falla
cious and untrue. It was largely because
this evidence could not be admitted
showing how for years a conspiracy bad
xisted to use the State's money that the
case ultimately failed.
This letter sjieaks for itself We |
submit whether or not the case woulil j
not have been made out had the evi i
ilence effered by the District Attorney j
not been ruled out by the Court on the |
objection of Quay's counsel, by pleadiug i
the statute of limitation. The course
of his counsel was equivalent to s iving:
"What you offer to prove is true, but
you did not find it out soon enough;
and the law says prosecutions of this
kind must be brought within a given
time or not all. We are not jiersccnt
ing Quay, we are simply giving our
readers his record as he made it himself.
So our readers can intelligently make
rip their minds as to how they will vote.
Have we not had aliout enough of Quay
mil his methods. Think it over and an
swer at the primaries.
If the Republicans approve the action
)f former members of the legislature in
lelping to place the law on the statute
looks that requires the interest paid on
itate money deposited in banks to lie
•aid into the State treasury and brings
>ver $ HH),000 per year into the peoples'
■offers, vote for the Anti-Quay candi
late. The Quay uieuilicrs of the legin
latnre tried to prevent this law from
tassiug, so the interest over *IOO,OOO
»er vear would go we don't know
exactly where, but know it did not go

aine over to the House yesterday to (
nge Republican representatives from
he State not to vote to unseat Mr.
I'omur, a Virginia Democrat, whose
•■at wis Mac contested by Mv Wise. I
tepnbliean. It is alleged that Penrose
tsed the argument that Senators
lauiel and Martin, Democrats of Yir
;ioia. will vote to seat Col Quay, and
hat ill return the Pennsylvania Re
■uhlicHus in the House should not
■ote to unseat Mr. Young, or at.
wist should not vote at all. As allow -
ug how close the vote was on seating
dr. Wise, it may lie stated that the
eas were lill and the nays 124. a -
uajority of only seveu votes. It would (
ertainly seem enough to ask the Senate (
o seat a man who was not elected I
vithout endeavoring to have Pennsyl- !
