The Pennsylvania Republicans

July 16, 1885 issue

add to cart   close window

It, is not to be doubted that Matt Quay represents the Republican Party in Pennsylvania in the same sense and to the same degree that James Blaine represented the party in the nation last year. Quay possesses on a smaller field all the qualities which Blaine has exhibited on a larger one-dash, fertility, audacity, unscrupulousness, brag, and bonhomie. His record is tainted, but; like Blaine, he intends to make an "aggressive campaign," to ignore all disagreeable charges against himself, and to "carry the war into Africa.
