GRADUATE OF THE MINES.
HastirtQS and Party Cordially Greeted Interesting Episode in the Careerof Harry
by the People Everywhere. . i, r;,
' I Yearn nm In Rtnnnnnrn Mapno, Atn-
ty, a young worker in the bituminous
coal mines of that section contributed
to th local Republican weekly paper a
series of statistical artlcleson the tariff
question, which attracted the attention
of thinking people in the northwest.
Several eminent Democrats tried to en
gage this young champion of protec
tion to home Industries in a newspaper
debate; but after several attempts re
tired from the field with the impression
that things hadn't altogether gone
their way. The writer of these staunch
protective articles never enjoyed the
advantages of a collegiate education.
He was, In fact, self-educated, having
Improved his spare moments, just as
many miners In this section are Improv
ing them, by individual reading and
study. Yet he repeatedly put to lllght,
in newspaper debate, polished eradu-
ates of Harvard and Yale and won the
attention of the entire community by
the pith, pertinency and directness of
his writings.
Not long after that this young miner
siuaiea law In Mercer, Pa., and was
admitted to the brilliant bar of that in
tellectual county. In the course of time
ne Decame the editor of that same week'
ly paper In which his maiden effort
first saw type. Later still he was
drafted Into the service of the Pittsburg
commerclal-Uazette, then under the
control of Colonel Nelson P. Read, one
of the sterling Republican newspapers
of' the country. After a period of ad
mirable Journalistic service in Pitts
burg the young Stoneboro miner went
back to Mercer and got elected to the
legislature. He behaved so well In the
course of two terms that his fellow
members would, next time, have elected
him speaker of the house had not a
clique of disgruntled orphans' school
syndicate magnates set up a Job In the
btoneboro district by which the mem
ber was taken by surprise and knocked
out. Since that time he has been em
ployed by Chris L. Magee's Pittsburg
Times as its special political repre
sentatlve, and has captivated every
audience where his eloquence, humor
and satire have been heard on the poll-
General Daniel H. Hastings, the Re
publican candidate for governor, and
the distinguished persons accompany
ing him in his campaign tour left the
city yesterday afternoon for Carbon
dale. They made the trip in a special
Delaware and Hudson train which also
carried a large number of prominent
Republicans from Scranton and vicin
ity and nearly all the county candi
dates. Stops of about ten minutes each were
made at Olyphant, Archbald and Jer
myn, where brief speeches were made
by General Hastings and other mem
bers of his party. No better oppor
tunity for ascertaining the popularity
of the State ticket or for observing the
opinions of current Issues among the la
boring masses had recently been offered
the party leaders. After Carbondale
was reached favorable comment was
made upon the result of the tflp. The
crowds which congregated at the sev
eral stations were composed almost en
tirely of miners, mechanics and labor
ers. They paid respectful and close at
tention to the speakers and showed by
their countenances and applause their
tendency toward protection, the prin
ciples of the Republican party and its
candidates.
Many Prominent Passengers.
The train of three cars left the Dela
ware and Hudson station at 2.30 o'clock.

General Reeder, R. W. Zimmerman.
Charles W. Stone, Charles F. Warwick,
Major McCauley, Thomas V. Cooper
and Colonel Thomas J. Stewart. Each

Colonel Stewart, who was the .last
speaker and dwelt at length upon the
political situation.
General Hastings said In part: "Un
til less than two years ago we as
Americans have been proud of the pro
gress, thrift and industry of our coun
try. We have been ever ready to pro
claim Its achievements of the past and
Its possibilities fort the future. The
citizens of Carbondale and this beauti
ful valley, rich In Its stores of under
ground wealth, have been particularly
gratified by reason of your sound busi
ness health. Your busy mines and
mills, schoolhouses, railroad facilities,
good houses, food and clothes all gave
indication of your vigor; this new and
magnificent hotel opposite me gives
evidence of it. In every particular our
glorious country with Its lavish facili
ties has given evidence of enjoying the
proud distinction of being the youngeBt
and richest country on the globe.
Credit for Democrats.
"There does not live a Democrat who
would dare to intentionally oppose the
marvelous growth and advancement of
our nation. Yet the party of Imbecility,
cowardice and misguidance has clogged
the wheels of progress by perfldous
legislation. They promise to continue
their methods next December. Will
you allow it? Tou know what the Re
publican party, the party of protection
and good government, has done for
you. As sensible men I appeal to you
to consider me situation ana vote ror
the candidates representing the party
which keeps its promises and may be
relied upon."
At (30 o'olock General Hastings'
party left in a special train for Hones-
dale under tha escort of fifty oitlxena of
