Attention is directed to the call in another column for a convention of Itepublicans representing the Twen. tieth Senatorial district, to nominate a candidate for the position now held by a Democrat. The district primaries will be held one week from next Sat urday, at the same hours and in the same places as were the recent county Republican primaries; and the conven tion will meet on the ensuing Tuesday, at 11 o'clock a. m., in the arbitration room in the court house. The basis of representation will be the same as heretofore; and it is particularly de- nlrpn thnt. thfl T.7prnA nnnntv nnrtimi he district shall be fully repre- j - e importance of this convention 1.1 tint tia lmilniv.atltT.nffi.1 T1 1 w. a district comprising the third largest and most populous community in the state should be represented at Harris burg by a man who lends the weight of his personal and political influence to aid along the pernicious purposes of modern Democracy is an anomaly w hich' should be corrected. While it is true that the domain of state legis lation does not cover tariff issues, it is no less true that comfort cannot be ex tended to this industry-wrecking ad ministration in one place without strengthening it all ulong the line. The Twentieth senatorial district needs the services of a stanch Republican at Harrisburgnoless than the Eleventh congressional district needs such ser vices at Washington. The two needs cannot well be divorced. One is log ically supplementary to and in a sense dependent upon the other. There are bright and capable young Republicans In this senatorial district who would possess an influence with the Republican state administration certain to be chosen this full, which could not possibly be wielded by a Democrat. The convention one week from next Tuesday will have the naming of one of these. It is a duty which carries with it no small measure of responsibility, and it is highly essential, therefore, that there should he a free and frank expression of the .party will, both at primaries and in convention, to the end that Scranton and its vicinity may be adequately re presented in the state senate, by a man of the people's own choosing.

As an individual Democrat, with rather more than the average Democrat's dislike of pensions and pensioners, Grover Cleveland Is fairly open 10 eruioism ana censure, as tne leader of an element in our political which has many times through gnorance and many times through nalice been on the wrong side of ques- involvlng the national honor d the national welfare, Mr. Cleve- d . is properly subject ' to rebuke. as the president of his country, elected by constitutional means, entitled at least to a public re- that may conscientiously be evinced for his office, if not for its temporary occupant. The address of Commander-in-Chief Adams before the Pittsburg Grand Army encampment yesterday was keen in its just critlolsms and merci less in its manly resentment of an ex. ecutive message which virtually branded veterans as accessories to frauds, but It did not forget the respect due to the author of that message, In his official capacity as chief magistrate. The policy of this administration with reference to pensions has not had the approval of the loyal citizenship of the country. The policy has catered to the prejudice of a section once in armed revolt; and the details of its adminis tration have, iu many instances, beeu entrusted to the hands of men who participated in that revolt and who could scarcely be expected to overflow witu kindly feeling for the brave men who had frustrated their once rebel lious purposes. But while this is true, our form of government admits of only one legal means of redress. The permissible ap peal is not to violeuce or passion, but to the sovereign tribunal of the ballot box. Indications are not wanting that this appeal will be made, and that it will be effectual. It, therefore, is the duty of veterans to be patient a little longer. The time of vindication will not be much further delayed. The consciences of their countrymen can not long be dulled. As Commander-in-Chief Adams eloquently said, "The loyal people of the land never believed in the Union soldiers and sailors more than they do today; and the politician who thinks he will win favor by un der-rating them, or depriving them of what they are entitled to receive will, iu the near future, discover his mis take." The Democratic platform in this county is funny, very. It means something, no doubt; but what? The efforts of certain Scranton ians to oiganie an oratorio society in tins city, tor which purpose a muss meetiug has been called to assemble this evening in the armory, deserve to succeed. Long accustomed to work ing for a living.Scrantou ought by this time to be financially able to indulge, with moderation, in some of the intel lectual and artistic luxuries of life. It must not be forgotten that all hustle and no leisure would soon make young America a crude and ignorant boy. That wasn't a bad coincidence noted in the Maine returns, concerning one town that went Republican for the first time since 1801. The issues then and now are different in name and manner of arbitrament rather than in essential fact. The Maine rule of voting as one fought is good enough for all practical purposes even in Penn sylvania. Money in Politics. Discussing the not altogether disin -terested outcry which has been raised in certain quarters concerning the alleged corrupt use of money made in this j'ear's county inventions, the Philadelphia Press very sensibly, be cause very truthfully, eays: "The abolition of the convention system would naturally end the business of buying and selling delegates and so wipe out that particular form of cor ruption. It is proposed to introduce the popular vote system, under which nominations shall be made by a direct vote of the party masses. We have repeatedly urged the advantages of this method whenever it can be made prac ticable, because it is most iu harmony with our generul republican system. It is the one way by which each party voter is enabled to exercise the same power as any other in the choice of a candidate. But, unfortunately, it is not free from corruption. That method has been in use longer in Crawford county than anywhere else, and it is a notorious and indisputable fact that no county in the state can show any such record as Crawford for election de bauchery and crime. It has been de monstrated that men who are deter mined upon making a profit out of election will iind some way to work. When they can no longer sell them selves as delegates they will sell them selves in some other capacity." That the cry of "Stop, thief!" is sometimes raised for a hypocritical purpose is no justification of theft. Similarly, the elfrontry of those who, being themselves guiltiest, make loud est outcry concerning the real or fan cied political improprieties of others, offers no excuse for the existence of venal politics. It would be a cause for personal and, indeed, for national thanksgiving could the conditions which have anywhere bred the will ingness to strike up a barter in ballots be completely and summarily 'cured. But it is necessary to be prudent as well as zealous in approaching this cure. Upon the advocacte of the aboli tion of nominating conventions rests the burden of proving that the substi tution which he suggests would im prove, rather than simply modify the form of, the money evil in politics. Has this burden been satisfactorily discharged? Is it yet a certainty, by any means, that in a county like our own the net consequences of such a change would be materially better? If it be really desired to greatly re duce the prevalence of corrupt prac tices at and just prior to nominating conventions, this can be done without going to the round about alternative of radical change in the party rules. To the suggestion only of clean and re putable candidates add sufficient civic interest in the primaries to insure the selection, in the great majority of in stances, of honest delegates. Then have an understanding among the re putable party leaders that, money for illegitimate purposes shall not be ex pended, or that, if expended and proved, exposure and punishment will surely follow; Bet the forces of honesty , at work at the root of the evil, and if mankind be not yet utterly depraved, it ought to be possible to bring about a noticeable improvement in political ethics without any need of circumlo cutory amendments or "stop, thief hypocrisy. The trouble, though, with this homely recipe doubtless is that it doesn't altogether serve the purposes of the hurrah boys on the other side. Says our persistent friend, the edi tor of the Wayne Independent: "The Philadelphia Inquirer, New York Tribune, Philadelphia Times, Scran ton Tribune and the great wholesale merchants of New York all a: nil t that business is reviving. Even Chauncey M. Depew, the great Republican apos tle, predicts that the country is enter ing upon an era of prosperity such as it has never before known." Well, why not? Hasn't the country heard from Vermont and Ma ne? Money honestly expended in a durable paving Is one of the best in vestments that a city or its cltizeus can make. Pine street is one of the few haudsonie residence streets in the central city that has thus fur neglected to pave. Now that a good pavement is within easy reach, it would be a misfortune were the chance to pass unimproved. POLITICAL xNOTES. Ex-Seuator Pewall, of New Jersey, is a shrewd one. lie declares: "The news papers muke the issues aud fight the politi cal cumpHigDH nowadays JlaBS meetings aud utuirip speeches count for little or noiLiug. It's what the news papers Bay thnt counts. Day aftr day they keep setting certain facts aud ideas b-fnre the people, and all Clauses read now adays. The day when big demonstrations and ail that sort of thing counted for any thing has gone, Such methods were all right iu tlie days when newspapers were c.mipnrativelv little known and the dis sc miuotion of political news different from what it is today. In fact, 1 hardly ever attend a political meeting that i, a cam paign meeting for talking because the newspaper attends to all that. Even in the remote rural districts the farmers get their daily papers. '1 hey keep track of ail the political movement aud before the election time comes around they havo made up their mind how they are going to vote, and a stump speaker can not change them." Speaking of Mr. Stranahan's reoonvened side show Tuesday the sarcastic Harris burg Patriot says: "When Attorney Uen eral Uensel wat oked to preside at the Scranton convention that nominated Pat tixon be declined on the ground that be bad 'only a sack coat' with him. The Lan caster Beau Brummel couldn't bring him self to preside over a party convention without a coat with skirts any more than a belle would sing in a choir without wear ing frizzes or appear at a ball in a tailor made suit. It is true the attorney general (hip was not yet iu sight of the Lancaster exquisite, but those familiar with his beauty and grace wouldn't for a moment suspect that so paltry a thing as an office would move him to dopart from good form. Did he fly yesterday because be bad none but bobtail ooats out of the hands tf bis tailor' " Chairman Stranaban, it is announced, will ttart his menagerie going early in Oc tober. It is his intention to have a grand central circus at some convenient point aud then, during tbe month between the opening and closing dates, locate at least one side show iu every election district iu the county. It is possible that Candidate bingerly may swing out some among tbe brethren, and a visit or two from, the Maine and Vermont veteraus is contem plated in order that tbe Pennsylvania faithful may learn in advance from sur viving witnesses just, how it goes to get caught under the Republican avalanche. It isn't expected that the minority cam paign this year will be especially perfer vid. All that moves them to have one at all is the eager hope that the powers at Washington will care tor them when the cruel war is over. Berks Republicans will present as their candidate for tbe Ninth district nomina tion Dr. Jeremiah 8. Trexler, of Kutz t wd. Tbe ;Reading Times says of bim: "Iu this candidacy tbe voters ot the Ninth Congressional district will bave an oppor tunity of casting their suffrages for as good a man ns ever lived in the district. T. Trexler is a man of high character, mcrally, socially, professionally and poli tically. He has been olosely identified with nearly all, if, indeed, not all, of tbe important movemeutB that bave made the eastern section ol Berks one ot tbe most progressive and advanced portioos ot tbe commonwealth. Tbe geueral acquiesc ence with which Dr. Trexler's nomination Is being received, shows the fitness of the selection." In tbe opinion of the Washington Post, an independent journal which make dua baste to get into tbe popular band wagon, the big Maine victory was long a foregone conclusion. "The Democratic party," it. says, "has done- nothing to commend it self to the respect aud confidence of the country. It has succeeled in convincing us that it Inclines to foolisb and viciot i legislation, and it has frightened conservi tive citizens in all quarters. W cannot imagine auy serious und responsible aud useful voter iu the act of sustaining and indorsing the avowed purpose of the Democratlo leaders Mr. Wilson, for in stanceand ire not surprised that the verdict ha been to their discredit and ie pudiation." i The Byractife Post is moved to inform ltseditoimf friends outside of New York state that they "need have no fears con cerning rrnrty success in this common wealth this tall. The content for place on the state ticket is simply the natural fore runner of victory at tbe polls. Once settled, tbe party will turn in and bury tbe Democratic machine ont of night. It is a Republican year iu this state, as in all other northern states, and victory is in tl e air. Can anybody find any sign or ambi tion In the Democratic party for places on tbe state ticket? Straws show which way the wind blows." John B. Robinson has been unanimously re-uominated as tbe Republican candidate for congress from the Delaware-Chester district. In 1SU0 the Republicans of the district will, it is thought, chooise their nominee by the delegate instead of by the conferree system. General Frank Reeder, of Easton, feels very h peful that General Kirkpatrirk will be returned to congress from the Eighth district to mcceed Mr. Muichler. Hart, the Democratic randldute, is rapidly de veloping weakness. When it comes to furnishing a political corpse for exhibition purposes the VVat.h ington Post thinks that Maine Democrats have no peers. LET HIM VISIT US. .Viiku-Bam Record. We would kindly advise Brother Sing erly to spend a few days iu Lackawanna county during the coining campaign. It would be fraught with educational ad vantages to that gentleman aud might im pel bim to revive his opinion as to whether Mr. bcranton's vote meets with the an proval ot the people up that way. It would require but a brief stay to convince him that Representative Bcranton's stand in congress meets with, tbe approval of a large majority of the voters of Lacka wanna county. To say that bis vote against free coal was "espeoi ail antagonistic" to the Interest ol eastern Pennsylvania is the veriest free trade rot. Mr. Bingerly ought to know that even under present conditions anthracite coal producers find it no easy task to compete with thslr rivals in the bituminous trade. Free ooal would mean an ilncreased supply of tbe bituminous product. Anthracite would be undersold and driven from tbe market, and tbe mea who dig it out of the earth would be forced into idleness. In voting against free ooal Mr. Scranton acted for the best interests of the people be represented. The vo era of Lackawanna county under Hand this thoroughly, and will show tbeir appreciation by electing Mr. Scranton by the largest majority he ever received. An Introtii B" Lttr.
