Summary

Description
English: Editorial cartoon from the Philadelphia Inquirer concerning the Senate election in 1899 before the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Matthew Quay's re-election split the Republican Party and the election ended deadlocked after 79 ballots; Quay was elected by a new legislature in 1901. Here, the "Stalwarts" who support Quay nail his colors to the mast, symbolizing their refusal to consider a compromise candidate.
