the ultimate result of the fictional discord
that now prevails In the ranks of tbo Dem
ocratic paity of this borough. It this fight
among the bosses -vould onl. rid tbe party

change, a thorough and radical change that
will give us back strong part organization
and self-reliance In the Democratic hosts.
In the words of Grovor Cleveland "It Is a
condition that confronts us. not a theory.'
Packed conventions, ring rule and clique
ilomlnat on aie Ihlnas of which the masses
are tired; they threaten the liberty and
safety of our Institutions as well as the sta
bility of patty, and 1 am pleased lo note
that each year the flavor of these hideous
excreseiices of uartv are becoming less odor
iferous. However, In their places rise up
a monster as threatening to me supremacy
of part as either or all of the above evils,
viz: me lactionai -svn which in utc iwo iasi.
borough elections has cost the Democratic
part several of the best and most impor
lant olllcea. There Is no excuse for' this
further lliar factional discord and con
teinptlble petty jeatouslos which .control
anil actuate the movements of aspiring
leaders and conceited popinjays who crave
for public trusts at the expense of the pub
lie ueuerally. Now the only way lo do
away with this Is to formulate a rule gov
erning nominating conventions that will
lie most acceptauie to ine masses. .siau-
llsh a system that will leave no doubt for
honesty and squareness of purpose and the
work Is done. wake eacn canuiiiato lor
office present his name at least three days
before the holding ol the convention, nave
he names printed on a slip of paper, and
tlx the lime for balloting lie. ween the hours
of six and nine o'clock. Voters would ballot
for candidates for t lie several ofllces at one
line, the names of the voters would be
written down as thev now are at ceneral
elections; this would do away with the cry
if fraud, &e and Ihe candidates thus nom
inated wuttld stand upon a Democratic plat
form with the undivided support of all
Democrats. The new s stem would be
more troublesome, perhaps, but It would
insure party success, and that is what we
want above all oilier things, or course no
plan of nomination will be found practica
ble or safe it aspirants for olllce have a
ileflniie understanding with the oDHo.-lte
party that In case they are defeated In their
aspirations at home they are open for a
ileal with the enemy. 1 uiu told on good
political (?) authorit" that such was the
case in the justice of the peace light at the
late e colon Is It true If so, u. M.

the same time Lenlz should have gone
lown with him for fathering and rarrvlnc
out such a low political understanding ai
the expense of so upright, staunch ami
iquare a Democrat as Morris C. lrcxler
It teems lo me that the Democrats should
have learned a lesson b. this lime; this
"lying of complimentary voles for sweel
charity s sake at the expense or good, able
and capable Democrats has become a
nuisance and should be stopped. I AM A

"Hod-Nosed Mike" Sentenced.
The closing scene in tbe trial of Michael
Rezzlllo alias "Red-Nosed Mike," for the
murder of Paymaster McClure, was enacted
n me court house at wiikesbarre Monday

arguments why a new trial should be grant
ed, out tney railed to produce satisfactory
evidence of one thing; they alleged that one
of the jurors had stated before being called

ine soie purpose ot Hanging iilKe.
District Attorney Darte made a brief
repl and then Judge Rice announced bis
decision. He refused lo grant a new trial,
hellevlng that the prisoner had been fairly
and legall convicted.
Miko was called before tka Judge for
sentence, rie stood up'cool and collected
a ever. Not a sign of. nervousness did he
show, only he was very ale. The Judge
asked lilm If he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced. He
ropllrd In a firm, distinct voice: "I have
nothing to sa ; what could I say, sir; I
have not a word to sav."
Judge Rice then said:

The solemn words of the death sentence
were listened tn amid the most breathless

deep sigh of relief went up from the spec

The makers of the Ivory Soap have been engaged in tho man
ufacture of Soaps for over fifty years, and the "Ivory" is the happy
result of their long experience, and Is unquestionably the soap to be
used by all who value the advice (quoted below) of Ellen H. Richards.
Instructor in Chemistry,' Woman's Laboratory, Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology, who says, "In the purchase of soap, it is
"safest to choose the make of some well known and long established
"firm who have a reputation to lose if their product is not good."
A WORD OF -WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "Just as good as the 4 Ivory'
they ARE NOT. but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine, Ask for " Ivory " Soap and Insist upon getting It.
