Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 17.—The cere- | monies of the inauguration of Governor | William A. Stone were imposing in the | highest degree. There were public func- tions and private functions, bands, brigades of soldiers, civilian clubs and a general outpouring of the people. But although Governor Stone was elected by Senator Quay, and all that the gov- ernor is today he owes to the senior senator the triumph of the day brought no cheer to the heart of Mr. Quay. Be- cause Mr. Quay’s political race is run. His sun has set. His defeat is already accomplished. In my last letter the story of the anti- Quay organization was told. That or- ganization, bound by written agree- ment, stands today like a wall of adamant against Senator Quay’'s re- election. But it is stronger now than it has ever been before. On Thursday last a new agreement was signed by all the senators and members who were par- ties to the first agreement. The anti- Quay men are bound now in bands of steel. If, Senator Quay is re-elected it must be by the aid of Democratic votes. DEMOCRATS WILL NOT HELP. But will the Democrats assist Quay tc his old position? Not by a single vote. On Thursday morning of last week 80 of the 87 Democratic senators and members held their caucus here. Hon. George A. Jenks, late Democratic candidate for governor, was unani- mously chosen as the caucus nominee for the United States senatorship. Every man present was bound to abide by the action of that caucus. There were only six absentees, and three of them were excused. The other three sent word that they would be bound by the caucus action. More than this, a resolution was adopted requiring the assent of two-thirds of all the Demo- crats before the name of Mr. Jenks could be taken down and a new candi- date put up or voted for in his stead. It is a mathematical certainty that Senator Quay is defeated. Any school boy can figure it out for himself. There are 254 senators and representatives in the general assembly of Pennsylvania. Of this number 87 are Democrats and 167 are Republicans. It requires 123 votes to elect a United States senator. Of the 167 Republican votes Senator Quay boasted that he would have 128 without difficulty. Instead of 12> votes he received 109, showing that 58 Re- publicans did not enter the caucus. With 87 Democrats and 58 Republicans against Mr. Quay he is 22 votes short of the number necessary to re-elect him. But Mr. Quay can count on a little bit of help from some of the men who did not go into the caucus. There may be four or five who will go to his as- sistance. They are men who did not sign the anti-Quay agreement and have never been counted as anti-quay men. But this wiil not help him. ‘He is still from 17 to 20 votes short of having enough to re-elect himself United States senator. And he will never be able to get them from either Demo- crats or Republicans. The result will be a protracted deadlock and the election of somebody other than M. S. Quay to the United States senate. SUPREME COURT AGAINST QUAY. The greatest blow that Quay has re- ceived came from the supreme court on Tuesday of last week. The story has been told before. Senator Quay, with his son and ex-State Treasurer Hay- wood are under indictment, charged with using the money of the People's bank, which was a state depository, for unlawful purposes. Senator Quay at first boldly declared that he was ready to meet the charge at any time. That was three months ago. Instead of meet- ing it he has in every way sought de- lay and postponement. To secure a de- lay until after the Republican caucus Senator Quay appealed the case to the supreme eourt, asking the court tc grant him a change of venue. It was because Senator-Quay was under thesc criminal charges, and because he had tried to delay the case instead of meet- ing it promptly, that the anti-Quay Re- publicans in the house and senate de- cided to remain out of the caucus and refused to vote for Senator Quay until he had cleared himself of the serious accusations. It was declared at the time that un- less the supreme court decided favor- ably in the Quay cases that the anti- Quay members would still continue to oppose him. On Tuesday last the su- preme court gave a unanimous opinion in the case. It not only refused to grant Senator Quay a change of venue, but sent his case back to the Philadelphia courts and sentenced him to pay the ~osts of the appeal. The result of this was that when the anti-Quay members of the legislature met on Thursday last they decided to renew their pledge. The new pledge binds them to vote against Senator Quay until he has been acquit- ted in the courts of the commonwealth of the criminal charges hanging over him. It was also provided and agreed | that every member should attend every | roll call for a vote on United States | senator. Before the meeting adjourned | rver 40 anti-Quay Republicans signed fae agreement, and up to last night TA 7" Ride a Monarch and Keep in Front!

But the: Quay leaders, the men who have run the old machine until it has about wrecked the Republican party, are still boasting that the ‘‘old man” will win. But it is all brag. They have not got the votes to re-elect him, and they cannot get them. No Democrat dare vote for Mr. Quay, and it will be impossible to get any of the signers to the anti-Quay agreement to violate their pledged word. The result of this will be a deadlock and the election of somebody else as United States sena- tor. Quay him=#elf admits that there will he a deadlcck. In an interview in the Philadelphia Record of Saturday last he said that he might not he elected on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, but that he would be elected in the end. His lieutenants are predicting that he will poll at least 112 votes on the first ballot, and this admission shows that they have no hope of a speedy solu- tion of the trouble. The" readers of these letters have invariably found that my predictions have come very nearly the result in the past. 1 want to make another prediction now, at this crisis, and to declare that Senator Quay’s vote on the first ballot will be larger than it will be on any subsequent ballot. There are from eight to ten men. who will desert Senator Quay’s cause when- ever they are called upon to do so. These men are pledged to Senator Quay only for the first ballot and after they they are their own masters. Eight men have notified the anti-Quay man- agers that they will join them when- ever their services are required. ANTI-QUAY CANDIDATES. There has been no selection of a can- didate by the anti-Quay people as yet. Their plans are guarded with the ut- most secrecy. That has been the key of their success. On Thursday last, in accordance with their plans, a number of candidates for the United States senate were placed before the house and senate. Among them were the names of Congressman John Dalzell of Pittsburg, Congressman Charles W. Stone of Warren, ex-Congressman George F. Huff of Westmoreland, Colonel E. A. Irvin of Clearfield, Hon. J. F. Downing of Erie and Judge John Stewart of Cumberland. The name of ex-Postmaster General John Wana- maker was not presented. This was doné at his request. He did not desire to be a candidate. At the same time this fact does not prevent him from being a candidate or for being voted for at any time in the future. The name of Hon. C. L. Magee was not men- tioned in this conn etion, The anti-Quay _nublicans are in no hurry to put fa . a candidate. The first thing to be accomplished is the de- feat of Quay. It will doubtless be their policy to distribute their votes around among the different candidates, leav- ing the Democrats to vote solidly for Mr. Jenks and the Quay machine fol- lowers to vote solidly for Senator Quay. The splendid stand taken by Senator- elect David Martin and Senator Will- fam Flinn, of Pittsburg, has placed them in the front rank of statesmen in this commonwealth. In spite ot threats and calumny and newspaper abuse they have gone steadily forward. They have declared that if Senator Quay does not clear himself of the charges resting against him they will never ccnsent to vote for him under any circumstances. This is the atti- tude of all the anti-Quay men. PREPARING FOR TRIAL. In the meantime Senator Quay has left the management of his political affairs largely to his lieutenants and is giving up his time to the preparation of his defense. He at first evidently believed that Messrs. A. L. Shields and Rufus E. Shapley, of Philadelphia, could manage his case, but latterly he has decided to take in three other law- vers, Messrs. D. T. Watson, Clarence Burleigh and Scott Ferguson, of Pitts- burg. The fact. that he has retained the services of five lawyers indicates that he realizes the gravity of the sit- uation, and the necessity for an elab- orate defense. The political situation as this letter closes has nothing of hope in it for Senator Quay. He is a ITe-doubtless would go to any source for help, but it the anti-Quay contumely head of a: hi oy Republicans, and the that would be visited on the y dHemocrat who voted for tate beaten man. | cannot be obtained from | uld be enough to drive the man | and from the com- | Have You Seen the line of Dry Goods, No- tions, Hosiery, Underwear Clothing, Overcoats, La- dies’ Coats and Capes, Hats, Caps, Boots and Shoes, Hardware, Drugs, Groceries, Flour, Feed, ete., at W.

My feet and legs and abdomen were bloated so 1 could not wear shoes on my fees and only a loose dress, I saw Ripans Tabules advertised in our dally paper, bought some and took them as direct- ed. Have taken them about three weeks and there 1s such a change! I am not constipated any more and I owe it all to Ripans Tabules. Iam thirty- seven years old, have no occupation, only my household duties and nursing my sick husband. He has had the dropsy and I am trying Ripans Tabules for him. He feels some better but it will take some time, he has been sick =o long. You may use my letter and name as you like, Mrs. MARY GORMAN CLAREER. f have used Ripans Tabules with so much satis- faction that I can cheerfully recommend them. Have been troubled for about three years with what I called bilious attacks coming on regularly once a week. Was told by different physicians that it was caused by bad teeth, of which I had several. I had the teeth extracted, but the at- tacks continued. I had seen advertisements of Ripans Tabules in all the papers but had no faith in them, but about six weeks since a friend in- duced me to try them. Have taken but two of the small 5.cent boxes of the Tabules and have had no recurrence of the attacks. Have never given a testimonial for anything before, but the great amount of good which I believe has been done me by Ripans Tabules induces me to add mine to the many testimonials you doubtless have in your possession now. A. T. DEWITT. I have boen suffering from headaches ever since 1 was a little girl. Icould never ridein a car or go into a crowded place without getting a headacheand sick at my stomach. I heardabout. Ripans Tabules from an aunt of mine who was taking them for catarrh of the stomach. She had found such relief from their use sheadvised me to tako them too, and I have been doingso since last October, and will say they have complete- ly cured my headaches. I am twenty-nine years old. You are welcome to use this testimonial Mrs. J. BROOKMYRE. I want to inform you, in words of highest praise, of the benefit 1 have derived from Ripans Tabules. I am a professional nurse and in this profession a clear head is always needed. Ripans Tabules does it. After one of my cases I found myself completely run down. Actingonthe advice of Mr. Geo. Bow- er, Ph. G., 588 Newark Ave., Jersey City, I took Ripans Tabules with grand results. Miss Bessie WIEDMAN. Mother wes troubled with heartburn and sleeplessness, caused by indigestion, for a good many >ears. One day she sa\r a testimonial in the paper indorsing Ripans Tabules. She dotermined to give them a trial, was greatly reileved by their use and now takes the Tabules regularly. Bhekeeps afew cartons Ripans Tabules in the house and says she will not be with. out them. The heartburn and sleeplessness bare disappeared with tho indigestion which was formerly so greata burden for her. Our whole family tako the Tabules regularly, especially after a hearty meal. My mother is 1ifty years of age and is enjoying the best of health and spirits; also eats hearty meals, an impossibility before she took Ripans Tabulecs. ANTON H. BLAUKEN. RI'‘P-A-N-S The modern stand- ard Family Medi- cine: Cures the common every-day ill of humanity. My seven-year-old boy suffered with pains in his head, constipation and complained of unis stomach. He could not eat like children of Lis age do and what he did eat did not agree with him. He was thin and of a saftron colcr. Reading some of the testimonials in favor of Lipans Tabules, I tried them. Ripans Tabules not only relieved but actually cured my youngster, the headaches havo disappeared, bowels are in good condition and. he never complains of Lis stomach. He is now a red, chubby-faced boy. This wonderful change I attribute to Ripans Tabules. I am satisfied that they will benefit any one (from the cradlo to old age) if taken according to direc. tions.
