Renublicaa State Committee have

asserted that he has been vindicated hy

bis election to office subsequent to the

time when it is alleged that he committed the thefts from the treasury o!

Pennsylvania. This view of the case is

a mistaken one. The charges hitherto

made have been in vague hints chiefly

in the form ot threats frost Republicans

that they "would lift the lid off" the

State treasury in case Qsay pursued a

course indicated by them as one he must t

not nursue. The ends here sought were

not the ends of justice, bat of political

blackmail, and the fact that the IM was

net lifted that compromises were

effected as a result of which Quay was

sent to the Senate insteaa oi te tne penitentiary, where it was intimated he

might go in the event el exposure

merely suggests that Quay preferred blackmailing coercion to the necessity ot explanation and defense incident to

the "lifting of the lid." It can not he

claimed with reason that his election .

was an expression of papular eona-. dence in his innocence of the crime ef theft the public at that time having had none of theevldencesubmltted to It But even If It were otherwise, election to the Senate does not condone felony or make a felon innocent of crime committed prior to his election. If Quay j prior to and during his term as Trees-1 arer of Pennsylvania abstracted money from the treasury and used it for his private purposes, he is a felon whether or not the felony was afterward compounded through his own efforts or the efforts of others. It seems to us impossible for the Senate to escape this view on the agreed case. Nor is it to be denied that if Quay is a felon, as appears prmn ftie on the evidence, it Is the duty of the Senate to

expel him. A resolution for that purpose would be the proper and formal method of securing justice both to the Senate and to Quay. 9t Louis Repub-
