I'hc I.eulMul ure Itu vtnirrailed to ICleet
« Stunt or, the lioveriioi*. Upon the
Announcement of the Ver«llet lu the
Conspiracy Case, Mattes the Appoint*
meot.
Harrisburg, April 25.—The legisla
ture of Pennsylvania having adjourned
without the deadlock on the United
States senatorship being broken. Gov
ernor Stone, within one hour after the
receipt of the news of the verdict of
the jury in the celebrated conspiracy
case, announced the appointment of
Colonel Matthew Stanley Quay to fill
the vacancy in the United States sen
ate, until the legislature shall elect for
the full term. The action of Governor
Stone is characteristic of the man. Ho
is always loyal and true to his friends.
No man better than he knew of the
! desperate nature of the campaign that
| had been waged against Colonel Quay.
J No one was in a position to be a bet
i ter judge of the facts of the case nor
j to appreciate the force and vindlctive
\ ness of the political influences behind
! the charges trumped up against Col
onel Quay, and of the extent to which
I the men responsible for the prosecu
tion would go. In his own canvass for
j the nomination and election to the
governorship Colonel Stone had an op
! portunlty from personal experience to
\ form an opinion on this subject. The
governor had hoped that the dead
lock in the legislature would be
broken, but this was not to lie. It has
been generally commented upon as
most significant that the case against
Colonel Quay should collapse upon tlic
very day upon which the legislature
. adjourned. Knowing that they had 110
evidence upon which to secure a ron
i victton, the men back of this trial
; could not have timed the case better
! for their own selfish purposes. Had this
: acquittal come before the last ballot
on the senatorship was taken, the in
sincerity of the men who said they
! were holding out from supporting the
■ Republican caucus nominee because
| there were indictments against hiin
; would have been exposed to the world.
| On the 78tli ballot Magee and 13 fol
j lowers broke away, but this did not
I seriously affect the result.
INSURGENTS RESPONSIBLE.
It is creditable to the Republicans
| who acted with the majority that
I they refused to temporize with a few
j rebels. It is highly discreditable to the
! insurgents that they followed the lead
| ership of Flinn and Martin and made a
spectacle of themselves which will not
i soon be forgotten. These insurgents
| made chaos out of the legislature. They
held up public business, defeated im
portant measures, made it impossible
to elect a .senator and iu general they
sought to produce party discord. In
seeking to dishonor and discredit their
party they brought discredit and dis
; honor upon themselves.
! And what did they get out of this
| three months' attempt at party wreck
-1 age? Magee lost any chance lie might
; have had togo to the senate at some
I future day. Martin, having deliberately
broken his pledge and brazenly (lis
! piayei. his treachery, returns to Phila
! delphia from Harrisburg to liud his
leadership a thing of the past. Flinn
is still the bulldozing Pittsburg boss
that he will never rise above.
The insurgents grimly marched to
(heir fate. They defied the Republican
majority in the state legislature, and
they sought to destroy the basis of all
free government, the right of the ma
i jority to' rule. They must take the con
: sequences of their folly and of their
1 party perfidy.
THE LAST 11ALLOT.
While the Republicans who have the
i interest of their party at heart cannot
| but deplore the failure of the legisla
| ture to elect a Republican to the United
! State 5 senate, they all know where to
| place the responsibility for the dead
i lock. Those members who were elected
i to represent the Republican party in
ihe legislature who have steadfastly
j rind consistently voted for the nominee
; of the Republican caucus .iave made a
record which will be approved by every
fair minded Republican in the com
monwealth. They will certainly be sus
tained by the Republican organization
' of the state, the integrity of which so
much depended upon their action. The
senators and representatives who voted
for Colonel Quay to the last could go
home to their Republican constituents
and command the respect and admira
tion of every true friend to their
party's caucus, while the guerrillas,
who acted in defiance of the funda
mental principles of the Republican
party, cannot present a single sound or
valid excuse for their course which led
to the deadlock and which made the
election of a Republican senator at this
<ession of the legislature impossible.
Colonel Qutly has much to be proud
wntn ha ror>oh'o<l <»•> ♦!»*» flrtul
; ballot, wbicti was taken on Wednesday
last. While the record on this final bnl
| lot gives" Colonel Quay 93 votes, three
of his friends were paired, so he thus
had 96 Republican supporters to the
end. The total strength of the insur
gents was but 70. They polled U9 votes
and had oneabsentee. This number was
largely made up of the followers of the
' Martin machine in Philadelphia and
the Magee-Fllnn organization in Al
legheny. Among the others were men
' who have no claim to recognition as
Republicans, as they were elected over
regularly nominated Republican can
didates for the legislature, through
fusion with Prohibitionists anil Demo
crats. Conceding them all to be Re
publicans, however, Colonel Quay, after
all the defections, had a majority of 20
of this Republican vote at the end of
the contest.
In any other state men who under
1 similar circumstances would prevent
the election of a regular Republican
caucus nominee for United States sena
tor would be branded as traitors, driv
en from the organization and be for
ever barred from recognition from the
Republican party. The Republicans of
Pennsylvania can be depended upon, as
already indicated by the result of the
primary elections, to attend to the
cases of these insurgent guerrillas.
QUAY WILL Bli SEATED.
"There seems to be litle dotbt that
the appointment of Colonel Quay by
Governor Stone will be promptly recog
nized and accepted by the United
States senate. No better evidence could
be wanted of the fact that Senator
Quay's enemies fear this than the ex
hibition of hysterical earnestness given
by the newspaper organs of the op
ponents of the Beaver statesman in
tlieir efforts to show that he has little
chance of being seated. They place
great stress on the cases of the three
silverltes appointed by governors of as
many states who were not admitted to
the srnate. They were Lee Mantle, of
Montana; A. C. Beckwith, of Wyom
ing, and John B. Allen, of Washington,
and also upon the case of Henry W.
Corbett, of Oregon. In the cases of
Mantle, Beckwith and Allen a number
of senators were influenced to cast
their ballots against the admission of
these men because of their attitude on
the money question. Corbett was handi
capped in his efforts to get recogni
tion from the fact that Senator Mitch
ell, whom he hoped to succeed, aspired
to re-election at the following session
of the legislature, and was a favorite
with his colleagues in the senate, and
also by the methods employed in his
campaign not only in his state, but in
Washington.
The anti-Quay newspapers are try
j Ing hard to make it appear that all
! the senatorial precedents are against
admitting Mr. Quay. Such is not the
case. The senate has time after time
decided in favor of the right of a gov
ernor to appoint a senator after the
legislature had failed to elect. A few of
these are worthy of mention.
GU BERN ATORIAI. A PPOINTM ENTS.
The first case in which a guberna
torial appointeeapplied foradmission to
the senate occurred March 31, 1790. at
a time when delegates to the consti
tutional convention were members of
the senate, and they were the best
judges of the meaning of the constitu
tion. Mr. Grayson, of Virginia, senator,
died, and George Mason was elected by
the legislature against his will to suc
ceed Grayson. Mason declined. Here
was a case in which the legislature
failed to elect a man who was willing
to take the oflice, although it had an
opportunity of doing so. Nevertheless,
John Walker, the governor's appointee,
was seated by the senate and a con
test was not thought of.
The term of William Cocke, of Tenn
esse, expired March 3, 1797. The legis
lature, up to that time, had not elected
his successor. He was appointed to suc
ceed himself and the senate seated
him.
The term of Uriah Tracey, senator
for Connecticut, expired March 3, 1801.
Up to that time the legislature had not
elected his successor. The governor ap
pointed him to succeed himself, and
the senate seated him.
The term of William Hindman, of
Maryland, expired March 3. 1801. Up
to that time the legislature had failed
to elect his successor. The governor of
Maryland appointed him lo succeed
himself, aud he likewise "as seated.
The term of Samuel Sm th. of Mary
land. expired in 1803. He was ap
pointed to succeed himself, the legis
lature having failed to elect his suc
cessor, and the senate, by a vote of 19
! to C. gave him his seat.
The term of Aaron Ogden. senator
from New Jersey, expired on the 3d
of March. 1803. The legislature had
failed to elect his successor. The gov
ernor of New Jersey appointed John
Condit to succeed him, and Condit was
seated by the senate.
The term of Joseph Anderson, of
Tennessee, expired March 3. 1809. The
governor appointed him to succeed
himself, the legislature having failed
to elect, and the senate seated him.
The term of Samuel Smith, of Mary
! land, expired March 3, 1809. without
j the election by the legislature of bis
| successor. He was again appointed by
i ihe governor to succeed himself, and
the senate seated him.
The term of Charles Cutts, of New
' Hampshire, expired March 3. 1813. The
I legislature failed to elect his successor.
and on the 2d of April, 1813. the gov
i ernor appointed him to succeed him
self. He also was seated.
The term of John Williams, of Ten
nessee, expired Mareh3,lSl7. The legis
j lature had not elected his successor.
| The governor appointed him to suc
j ceed himself, and he likewise was
seated.
In all of these cases, except the
Walker case and the Johns case, the
j vacancy arose by the expiration of a
| term, and iu all of them the governor's
appointees were seated by the senate.
