New honors were awaiting hirn and, in NoveMber, he was elected state treasurer by the largest majority given up to tha date to candidate for that I otnee. On January is, he was eieeted United States enator from and. in order to assume his place in tho United Suxws senate, he resigned his post as treasurer in Ang-ust of that year to ta.ke effect when his successor was appointed. He was succeeded by "William. Livsey on September is7.

It was in the following year that the entira country became awaie of tiie power of Senator Quays geniug a-: an organizer and politician. lie had been elected a member of the Republican national committee and chosen chairman thereof and chairman of the executive committee when the committee was organized In July, IS8S. By consummate generalship in this campaign he assured the ejection of Gen. Harrison over ex-President Cleveland with a majority of 05 even carrying- the sohd electoral vote of New York ate, the home of the Democratic candidate. So ruietiy did Quay pursue Ids work that he had his opponents on the hip before they were even aware of danger.

Tnmmany was firmly Intrenched. Quay's first move was to have charts made of the entire city. New York was regarded as a storm center. That Quay would he able to familiarize hhnself with conditions there in time to pcccraplish anything wa looked upon a3 an impossibility. The campaign wai at white heat.

The fact that a new establishment carae into existence just abou that time to compile a city directory attracted not the slightest attention. It "was not regarded as anything unusual that the in question should scatter hundreds of canvassers nvor the city. The canvassers, working lil.e so many bees, gathered the names and addresses of bsna fide residents, taking care not to overlook any and irfiking sure c-f it that none but bona fide tames were entered upon their liSt3. Nothing Teken for Granted. Of course it did become known that a new city directory was being compiled, b'jt one paid further attention to such a commonplace undertaking.

Meanwhile: the canvassers went on with their work. Tho slum sections of New York were combed, not once but several times. Their instructions were to be thorough. Nothing' was taken for granted. Had the Tammany leaders suspected any thing they miK'nt have made the work tho canvassers mora difficult.

Had any member cf the Tacamany crowd followed the canvassers he would have discovered nothing but tho simple fact that they reporter! at night to managers sutioned in bumble quarters. Had one of The Tammany braves followed these same managers of the new city directory be would have at least suspected that a surprise was in store for political circles generally. At last the canvassers had' completed their work. Quay, -w ho, up to that time, had not been la evidence so far as concerned the new city directory, suddenly appeared es its bead and front. He had thus come into possession of the voting lists of New York, rot only the voting lists, hut, as he had long suspected, the information that Tammany had thousands of fraudulent names registered for use on election day.

To Tammany Quay sent this message: "Gentlemen I have the names of the bona fide voters of every election division in New York. If any fraud is attempted on election day we ere not onlv in posi tion to dc-tect it, but we -sviU see to it that the guilty go to prison," Tammany Thunderstruck. Tammany was thunderstruck. Confusion reigned full sway in the camp of the enemy. Quay, unruffled and serene, sat at his desk in headquarters and smiled at.

the commotion caused by hla new city directory. He had won the trick. Tammany, disheartened at what it had learned and frigntened for fear of ether cards that Quay might perhaps have up his sleeve, we tismtie to move and Knew rot which way to turn. Election day came. Guar's ei'v direc tory had done its work.

Tammany was hariidess and Harrison was elected. Quay had reluctantly accepted the task of national chairman, but once he was in charge he never let up until he had the rotes polled, and, what was more, to the point in nis estimation, safely counted. At midnight on the day of the Mr. Quay announced- "We have won this fight and will hold it with a mailed By his clever manaeement prevented Tammany from holding back, returns in order to increase the total3 to the desired size in strong Democratic districts. Quay not only served with the Republican national committee in 1SS8 bnt he was re-elected in lssso, and again in He served either as delegale-at-large or district delegate to practically everv national convention from 1S72 to the" time of his death.

Later Honors. Senator Quay was a delegate to the Republican national convention of 1S02; in 13 he was elected to succeed himself in th United States senate; was chairman of the Republican state- committee in 1500, and in the next year was chosen a member of the national committee and the executive committee; delegnte-at-larga to the Republican national convention in and also a member of the national committee. In the convention of he was balloted lor as a candidate for president. Tliis year hei was elected as a delegate from, his district to tba Chicago convention. Senator Quay was alwavs a great protectionist and most of his fights in the senate have been in behalf cf this policy which nas been so beneficial to Pennsylvania.

The McKinley bill became' a law through the strategy of Quay. Republican leaders were trying to pass the force bill and the Democrats threatened to filibuster until the end time rnther than allow it to become a law. When the Democrats agreed not to filibuster against the tariff measure, the senator showed them how to bury the force bill. The longest fpeech in the history of the. senate was made by Mr.

Ouav during the session of 1894. The Wilson bill was under discussion. The iron arid textile schedules inserted by the house wer objec tionable to the He offered substitutes. In defense of these amendments he talked for davs, rea.lirg much from typewritten copy which hi private secretary carried to him ns the senator exhausted the sut-p'y. The senate finally surrendered.

He then announced that If the house changed the schedules, he would talk for an -lit period. Hi? amendments were not disturbed. President Cleveland re-fusel to sign the measure and allowed St become a law without his approval. Senator Quay's term of service in the United States senate would have expired March 3. Resigned Many Offices.

With the exception the T'nitd S3tes senatorship and his seat in the Pennsylvania house of representatives, Mr. Quay resigned nearly every important, office he ever held. Had his 'life been spared, it i quite probable that the ser.e.torship would pot have been made an exeention to the rule. Mr. Quav was minded in lo3 to Agnes datisnter of John Barclay.

Tin 5 I Roosevelt Greatly Admired Senator Quay and Praised Him Highly. SOME OP HIS FINE TRAITS Senator Quay and President Roosevelt were fast friends, and great adinirei-3 of each other. Mr. Quay had a very high, opinion of tho president, and considered Mm an able man, and a honest one. The characteristics of the president that especis.iiy t'- tne senator were, no douht.

those cf aFr epsiveness and directness. These are qualities that the possessed him- iii a coiisiueiahie degree, and whh he aumired in others. He had no svm-patfiy for beating libout the bush, but always in his dialings with other men preferred frank and direct methods. It is toid that Senator Quay and the president fist became trood friends when they learned of their similar tastes in literature. Both were extensive readers, and were especially fond of the bv-paths of mstory and literature.

It is sail that Senator Quay one day called at the White House to see the president about some appointment. Whil waitir.g in the ante-room the senator picked una volume on Iceland and whiied away the time reading it. When.it carae to his turn to sec the president. Senator Quay said to him: "Mr. President, th's is a very good work on Iceland, but have you ever read 's book on this subject? I rather think that that is a iuLo better than this." Led to Literary Discu.ion.

This remark opened up a conversation about Iceland, which gradually drifted to German folk lore, and other subjects whten both, were interested, and for an hour or more, the senator and tbc president chatteid away on these subjects, exchanging views on authors and comparing books that thev had read. Th-errand upon which Senator Quay hud called was entirely forgotten, and he left after pronjlsinu to send the president some booKS, in which be assured him he would be. interested. Ever after that senator Quay wss a very welcome caller at the Whits House, and whenever be and the president came together, they employed most of the time discusfcini; books and literary subjects. The president was a "great admirer c-f Senator Quay as a political ieader.

He always spoke of him as "that errand 0lu man of Pennsylvania." fsr.d was alwav, giad to avail himself of the senator'-, adyice when it came to a question of politics. Another question In which both men were very much interested was the welfare of the Indiana. Senator Quay wa considered the best friend that the red man had in Washington. He was alwavs ready to go to the president in behalf of any trine that had a petition to present or a complaint to make. President Koose-velt's experience in the west made him familiar with the Indians and their needs and his high opinion cf Senator Quay's knowledge of the Indians made him prone to frrant almost any request that came through the senator.

Of late years Senator Quay did not take at important part in "the com mittee worse or the senate. He had a chairmanship, which pave him the use of a committee- room, but his that on organization, conduct and expenditures of the executive departments, seldom met, and reniiy had little business to attend to. Regularly at Sessions. Mr. Quay was mc-mber of the committees on a-arrieulture and forestry, appropriations, Indian affairs, public "buildings and grounds, and territories, but did not devote a great deal of his time to the work of any one of them.

While h' was in Rood health, he was a Tetrular at- tandant upon the bessions of the senate f.nn iook an interest an matters ot nut He importance, although devoting himself esecially to Pennsylvania affairs, and matters relating to the Indians. I lis corn mitt r-e. room was a verv cornfortabie inside but one- difficult for a stranger to ftr.d. It was no doubt selected by "Air. Quay for this reason, and in order to make it.

not too easily accessible to everyone who want to see him. From the main f.oor of the capitol it was reached only hy a private elevate, or by c'lmblr? up the winding stairs that iead to the dome. Th-re was an ante-room, and Lack of it a very cornfortabie private office, furnished with a leather couch, sem easy enairs and a desk. In his dealings with the newspaper correspondents. Senator Quay was not very communicative, and it was very difficult to g-et any information out cf "him.

He would scarcely ever eons-snt to a formal interview, and it ws never possible to extract information from "r.im that he did not want to -r've. However, if he consented to answer questions, his replies were alsvsvs frank and Triable, and the correspondent oouid rely upen what tho senator told This is a characteristic that ail senators and representatives do not have. In fact, it is not sn uncommon thitg- for some of them to deliberately deceive newpaper men, hut such was not Senator Quay's method. He would either positively refuse to give itifcrtnatlcm, ot if ho did g'v it," he would jtive it frankly. Ueotntieri lny at Alloulppa VarU.

Thtore were et1 votes cast for hitn, contributing Georgia, Mississippi, and 'Louisiana the half vote. Gov. D. TT. Hastings placed the name c.f Col.

When Gov. llastingg had concluded, a great reception was uncorded the name of Senator Quay. Tbu demonstration lasted 17 minutes. Xt was, of course, a foregone conclusion that ihe nomination would go to "William McKinley. That fall.

Senator Quay assisted in roiimsr. up a majority of over SOO.OGU in Pennsylvania, for HcKin-ley. GALLANT CDLf WAS BRAVE UNDER RUE Seized Colors from Adjutant Reed and Bore Him to Place of Safety. Of Senator Quay's personal bravery during- the war of the rebellion, there can bi no doubt, as it was proven time and again and congress took cognizance cf his raiiantry and awarded him a medal. But there is one story of bis fravery under tiro that is peculiarly interesting to Pittsburg-hers.

It was at Chancellor-vine, where the battle lir.e was mot liable to tepulae and the fire was hottest, that the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania regiment was ordered to take a certain stone wall, behind v-hich the rebels were ensconced. The order to advance was ptvert and 4 he troops moved tn The front ttntJl the firs became too hot. and they were toid to seek: cover or li- down. Among- the officers responsible for tb behavior of the men was Alfred Reed, brother of Nelson P. Reed, at one time a la rye owner cf The Gazette.

The confederates were getting down to business. They were rhootmp low and some cf the men were get tin hungry and wanted to rn out for lunch. Reed turned on them like a tier. Th raliied. The chargs was resumed only, to meet a withering fire from tho etone wall.
