July 9-The friends of Be Quay. natably Ex state Chain men Wiliam I Androws. of Craw led gounty, are endeavoring to make it appear thatin th present contest in the Repub Hean party Senator Quay is the only friead of the rrunger. They hoist that his strength ilies principally with the farming: olonvont of Pennsyivaoia; thal the farmers aod nraobers of the state ges are lus niost ardent alncorents, this basis they are endeovoring to secure the granger support for Senator © Quay in the present contest, If Senator Quay is ihe friend of the | farmers of Punnsylvania his friendship | must have boen of swift and sudden growth, since the 8th of June, when the late legislature wdjourned. Inst session of the legisisture Senator Quay was not only not the friend of tha granger, but be nsed all the prestige of his name, and all of the political power that he possessed in that legislature. to defeat the expressed wishes of the farmers of the stats. This statement is borne out by facts and is substantiated by members of the ) gislntare. sa bill swhich received the conspicuous al Jndivided support of every farmer, and farner'a (riend, in the last legislature was what was known as the revenue tax eonference bill. Dinmioguished members of the State Grange and others from the rural districts were members of the con- ‘ference which formulated the revenue tax conference bill Leonard Rhone, grand master of the State Grange; Hon. Frank Moore, mamber of the legislature from Bradford county, and Hon. Jerome B. Niles, of Tioga county, were conspicuous . pepresentatives of the farmers in this state “who helped to frame and who voted for the pasiage of this bill. 5 QUAY DEFEATED THE TAX BILL. Senator Quay defeated that bill in the ature. gave the orders to his followers, and Bw defeated after one of the most stubs born fights on the part of the farmers “ever known in the kistory of Pennsyl vanla's legislature. : In the defeat of that bill the men who ‘are now conspienous as the leaders of ‘Senator Quay's faction: were the men who gompassed its killing. It was distinetly a farmers measure. The tens of thousands of names of grangers which were attached to petitions asking for the passage of the measure, the indorsernent of Pomona : . even the petition of the State asking fur its passage, were ignored Hs Senator Quay. To furnish a reason for thus trampling | - on the wishes of the farmers of Pennsyl- Juin, Benane Quay enlisted the aid of | at Harrisburg, who were his friecds. By an elaborate serice of argn- ' they presumed to show that the id not furui.h as much revenue Sd present law. In less than six weeks ‘these statisticians endeavored to prove ‘that men who stand highest in point of | _stithority on tax laws in Pennsylvania, men who had given them years of careful thought and study, and who had heard represbutatives of all classes npon the sub y bad made a series of inexcusable "The facia are that after Mr Qiay’s sta tisticiuns had made thelr statement, Joo | ph D. Weeks, of Pittshorg; Stoart on, the ypost eminent lawyer of Philadelphia; Leonard Ruane, grand nias- tar of the State Grange, and General Niles simply tore their arglUments to tatters, They proved thst the fig adie general's oflee, furnished at Sen. ator Quay’s ceders, wore entirely mislend- 1g aed were furnished for i purpose. These farmers on the tax conference had Be political end to subssrve. They were labouring for the peopie. But Senator : 'e orders, given through éx Chair wan W. H Andrews, were all powerful sind the measure was defeated. ! ASKED QUAY TO FASS IT. © Before the defeat of the bill had ben | finally ageomplished n delegation of farm- ems and others favorable to this granger Bill visited Scoator Quay at. his homes in Beaver and askad him to throw the power “of his influence toward the passage of the ure, his statistics showed thant the bl wold bring in us much revenue, or more than ‘the present law, that he would be ip favor of It; if not, he would be against it. That was all tho satisfaction that the statesman from Beaver would give them. He knew at that ime just what report bis ‘statisticians would bring in. He knew ‘that thelr figures on the face would be un- favorable to the bill. Kg*y whils the delegation of grangers of an equitable tax law were ing Senator Quay at his home in Beaver to help them pass their bill be had pesolved on its defeat and had given or ders accordingly, for Sen#tor Andrews, si Grady. and other Quay lieuten- ants in the legislature were announcing be fach to their friends that the: granger fl was “Veked.” Phat is how Senator Quay “played” the rag. be Netened to the prayers of the ‘farmers, his lientenants in Harrisburg were passing the word around that the farmers tax bill must be killed. One of the remarkable things in con- i nection with this fight on the conference tax bill lies in the fact that the men who fought hardest and longest to help the : Lagn their bill were the leading m Philadelphia and Pitts- g 5 frank Riter, of Philadelphia, ht for is even after be knew Quay had its death. ; : CITY VS.
