Abstract: Polymers comprising two the more recurring units of formula ##STR1## wherein A.sub.1 is an aromatic bridging groupeach K.sub.1 is independently the radical of a coupling component,E is an aliphatic, aromatic or aromatic heterocyclic bridging radical,each R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is independently C.sub.1-4 alkyl substituted C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.3-6 alkenyl or substituted C.sub.3-6 alkenyl orboth R.sub.1 's together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached and/or both R.sub.2 3 s together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a morpholinium, piperidinium or pyrrolidinium group, andeach A.sup..crclbar. is independently a non-chromophoric anion, are useful as dyes, particularly for dyeing paper and leather.
