After today's returns shall have come in, abutting the neighbor who runs for office on another ticket will be less popular In Lackawanna county than ever before, and much less likely to bo repeated In order to fit the mental cali ber and habitual associations of roving bushwhackers from the big cities. Get out the entire Republican vote. Look Out for Fraud! The Democrats have grown desper ate. It has been discovered that a plan has been conceived by them to erase the voters' marks from Republi can ballots and substitute marks of their own. Overseers and watchers of elections are therefore cautioned to see that this is not attempted or consum mated. There Is reason to fear that many such fraudulent devices will be attempt ed today. In the vocabulary of the men who are directing the Democratic local fight there Is no such word us conscience. They have resorted to lies and libels during the forepart of the campaign, and it Is no stretching of credulity to suspect that they will, if they see the chance, connive at open - fraud at the polls. But the Republican county commit tee has not forgotten to take precau tions. Every election officer should understand the magnitude of the pen alty against ballot frauds. Those who are In complicity need "not expect that they can evade the law. No Jugglery with today's ballots. No crookedness in tonight's counts. A vote for Judge Archbald will be a vote that will help to keep the Judiciary of Lackawanna bounty upright, honor able and learned in the law. A vote for P. P. Smith will be a vote to put one man's uncurbed ambition above every consideration of gratitude for his com petitor's faithful service on the bench. The people are not In a mood to toler ate fraud. Following the Smutty Path. ' We regret that not one of the Demo cratic local candidates has had the courage or the manliness to repudiate the abusive course of the Scranton Times In Its effort to blackguard him Into office by circulating wilful and bare-faced lies about his Republican opponents. The failure of these men to disconnect themselves from this vitu perative policy Is equivalent to Its In dorsement and to that extent sullies every candidate's fame, from Edward Merrlfleld down, with something of the smut-mill's own Bmut. For, when these candidates, sub scribed money to circulate the Times, they became directly responsible, not only morally but also legally, for its scurrilous utterances. If, after elec tion, It should be decided that the titu lar lessees of that unfortunate news paper were accountable before the law for Its erratic conduct, and of enough consequence to be prosecuted, the men who have had complicity in this nasty conspiracy of character defamation would also come within the scope of the statute against libel; and could be mulcted for exemplary as well as com pensatory damages. It is therefore far from creditable to either Edward Merrlfleld, P. P. Smith, James O. Bailey or Charles Schadt that by their silence they should indicate a willingness to see personal abuse super sedeargument.andcalumny substituted for courteous discussion, Had the tables been turned; that la to say, had the Re publican newspapers chosen to enter into a competition with the Oakford alley sheet's nauseating filth and slime, is there in Lackawanna county one per son wh'o believes Jhat Judge Archbald, Frank Clemon and Honest Tom Davits would not have entered their Immediate protest? The evasive explanation that "all Is fair In politics" does not excuse downright indecency nor clear the skirts of those who are co-partners in its utterance and dissemination. Of their own free will, the Democratic candidates have chosen the Bmutty path. Let the voters today manfully refuse to lend to this bad choice the weight of their sovereign condonation. "Honest Tom" Davles will get such a testimonial in Hyde Park today as will effectually disprove the charge of trad- lug and counter-trading. William R. Leeds dropped out of politics very suddenly, for a man of his former prominence. Only last spring, at Harrisburg, when General Hastings was nominated, Mr. Leeds had de clined Into scarcely a suggestion of the alert and much-consulted man that he had been, only four years before, In hotel corridors during convention time. Fashions change, In politics as well as in dress. The forward march of young er blood seems gradually to have left the "deucon" In the rear; and now death has come and removed him for ever. His career supplies much that Is suggestive, but the world is probably a good deal too busy to stop long enough to think seriously about It. Sibley and his Lackawanna money will soon bejiarted. Get out the entire Republican vote. The Penitentiary Yawns. Large sums of Democratic money were taken to Hyde Park last night for use in the attempted corrupting of Re publican wards. The sums, their bearers and their giv ers are known; and also the candidates in' whose Interest this money is to be used. Every detail of the project, with authentic, names and figures, Is In the possession of Republicans who will not hesitate to act promptly at the first In dication of an attempt to carry out the deal. This will not be a healthful day in Lackawanna for the ballot-fixer and the boodle-user. The penitentiary yawns for Just such trash. This is the proper occasion to re member that men die, but principles live forever. Chairman Stranahan a3 a prophet Is far from being a conspicuous success. He talks of nines' election In Luzerne today as a sure thing, when every per son knows even Democrats that Hines hasn't the ghost of a show. There Is an equal amount of incandescent moonshine in Brother Stranahan's airy assertion the Merrlfleld Is "quite cer tain to redeem Lackawanna." If nil the Democratic claims in this county are constructed on the Stranahan basis, Wednesday's returns will be too one sided to be even interesting. Get out the Republican vote. The next sheriff will be a much-slandered but honest and deserving young Republican. Get out all the stay-at-home vote. 1 The Real Issue Defined. The campaign of character assassina tion waged by the Democrats of Lacka wanna county through the 'medium of an imported campaign sewer will today come before the voters of this county for approval or censure. The broad principles of the Republican and Demo cratic parties were clearly defined weeks ago. It Is not necessary, at this late time, to repeat the familiar fact that Republicanism stands, In a na tional sense, for protection and honest government,- whereas Democracy stands, in the wor.ds of its highest ex ponent, for "perfidy and dishonor" for mongrel tariff tinkering which is neither the free trade that the masses of the Democratic party have in na tional convention declared for, nor the protection which Samuel J. Randall as serted to be Inseparable from true Americanism. The last two years have afforded vivid contrasts between Re publicanism, as typified In thirty years of unexampled prosperity and Democ racy, made costly to every . citizen through a blight upon trade and labor unexampled in the history of our coun try. Upon these points we may fairly assume that every reflecting voter has already arrived at a decision which will be expressed In the ballot that he will cast today for governor and con gressmen. The Immediate Issue which yet calls for a thoughtful decision, an issue less general but not less significant than any other question Involved In today's election, is the problem whether a ma jority of the voters of this county will knowingly give their sanction to the villainous lies and bold, blushing slan ders upon which the Democratic county campaign management has based its hopes of party success. It will become the duty of Individual voters today to decide whether a reputable and faithful Judge, after a decade's brilliant service upon the bench, Is to be shoved ignom inously aside in deference to the unre strained abuse of a lying campaign Journal, and in furtherance of the in satiable personal ambition of a once-rejected Judicial office seeker. It will be come the duty of Individual voters also to decide whether a clean and capable young Republican business-man, who has served this city most efficiently In both branches of its municipal legisla ture, shall be lied out of the sheriff's office through the venomous abuse of unprincipled adventurers who scent In the election of Mr. demons' opponent a chance to get their filth-covered fingers upon a new source of pecuniary "spoils." This, in plain words. Is the local Issue. It is a battle to decide whether repu table men who become candidates for office are to be lied about, slandered and vllllfled as If they were pickpockets or criminals In the dock. It Is a battle to decide whether politics Is any excuse for brazen falsification and the defiant libeling of a man's good name. It Is a battle to decide whether the self-respect of the Democratic masses in this county is to be offended with the filth and slime of two roving newspaper buz zards from the big cities who have picked out Scranton as a suitable place and the Lackawanna Democracy as a suitable audience for the spewing forth of partisan foulness and the vomiting up of putrid epithets. The Democratic leaders have Indorsed this malodorous method of attack by giving to these libelous charges widespread publicity; but we much mistake the temper of the fair-minded Democratic rank-and-file If they propose today by their votes to ratify any such anarchistic nastj ness. The Republican who shall today vote for a Democrat as a personal compli ment will not need to bo surprised if that single vote should be the means of defeating his party and putting new weapons into the enemy's hands, for use in 1M)G. It Is not what today's election means In way of Republican success; it. is the moral effect of today's verdict upon the next presidential campaign which voters Bhould heed. Get out all the Re publican vote. Support Republican Congressmen. "The one thing needful for the res toration of at least a moderate perman ent business prosperity," says the Pittsburg Times, "is the absolute as surance that there shall be no further tinkering with the tariff in a direction prejudicial to great American Interests. Whatever revival of business there has been during the past two months has been due largely to the belief that, not withstanding the foolish threats of President Cleveland and Chairman Wilson to the contrary, the end of that sort of tariff tinkering was reached when congress adjourned. Until this belief, however, becomes a certainty, millions of dollars will be withheld from expenditure in all branches of business and Industry, and hundreds of thousands of work people will as a con sequence remain out of regular em ployment. There is but one sure and certain way in which to put these mil lions of money pulsing through all the arteries of business life and to give these multitudes of Idle men steady work, and that is to put it beyond the power of the Clevelands, Wilsons and Singerlys to do any further mischief. The only effectual method of achieving this will be to place the control of the next house of representatives safely In the hands of the Republicans. If this Is done by the voters of the nation next Tuesday, foolish and damaging tariff tinkering will be ended, for, backed by the unmistakable sentiment of the peo ple of the country, the Republicans and conservative Democrats In the present congress will be able to prevent the passage of any legislation inimical to American Industry during the coming short session. "For these reasons It in most highly Important that the Republican candi dates for congress, both at large and In the respective districts, shull receive the active support of every citizen who desires to see a return of better times as speedily as possible. There is not the slightest excuse for any Republi can refusing to cast his vote for any congressional candidate of the party at this grave crisis. The best Interests, not of the party alone, but also of the whole nation, demand a Republican house of representatives In the next congress. It Is possible for the con trol of that body to depend upon the vote of a single member and for that member to be chosen by a majority of but one vote at the polls. The whole question of whether the Industries of this country shall be allowed peace and a chance to recover some measure of permanent prosperity, or be doomed to months and years of further turmoil and uncertainty, may be decided by the action or Indifference of some indi vidual Republican voter. In districts where a largo Republican majority is assured the obligation of every advo cate of a change for the better to sup port the Republican congressional can didate is equally strong, so that they can help to swell the grand total ot the protection vote . of the country and thereby increase the moral force of the verdict to be registered next Tuesday." This means you. THE ISSUE 01 TODAY. From the Philadelphia Press. The question at Muko Is an simple and direct as was ever presented to intelli gent men. They were well; they Imag ined they could be better; they took phy sic, and here they lie. They know that the unscttlement and uncertainty which followed Democratic success with the threat of tariff revolution brought general paralysis and prostration. They know that tho threat has been realized In the enactment of the destructive Wilson-Gorman law. They know that the only hope of recovery Is a' return to tho protec tive system which has been partially overthrown, or at least peace from fur ther agitation and security against fur ther assaults. And they know that the supreme Issue of this contest is peace and recovery on tho one hand, or renewed warfare and calamity on the other. President ICoveland declared that the Wilson-Gorman law was only a vantago ground for further attack on protection. Mr. Wilson proclaimed that his bill was only the beblnnlng of the revolution. No Democrat of authority pretends to dis pute that, in the event of Democratic success, tho crusade will go on. If the American people by tholr- votes approve and Btistuin Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Wil son, these enemies of protection will claim, and will be justified In claiming, that it Is a popular mandate to reopen their warfare with fresh vigor. The Is suo then is so plain that no rational nvin can misunderstand it. Every Democratic vote Is a vote to raise the black flag and renew the assault upon American indus tries. It Is a vote to continue tho agita tion, to strike fresh blows at the econo mic system which has built up our pros perity, and to give the business of tho country no peace and no revival. Do business men want rest from de structive Uigitatlon? Do manufacturers want stability and security? Do work ingmen want the wheels. to start and the fires to be kindled which will give them employment and save them from further reduction of wages? Then elect a Repub lican house of representatives. DECENCY ALWAYS PAYS. From the Carbondao Herald. There Is a noticeable , Improvement cf lata In the manner of conducting political campaigns. Partisan newspapers and partisan orators no vlonger Indulge in throwing mud at the personnel of tho op posing tlckot. Our campaigns are more and more becoming ones of education ami less of ribald abuse. Jfn illustration of this was given in Thursday's Scranton Tribune which, although, an able and earnest protectionist paper pays the fol lowing compliment to Candidate gingerly: "There is one thing to be said of Will iam M. Blngcrly, politics or no politics, and It Is a considerable tribute to a man with his partisan affiliations. He Is sin cere in hl3 beliefs and uncommonly frank In thoir expression. Bhould he, by any chance, be elocted governor, this commonwealth would have nothing to apologize for In the direction of his per sonal characteristics. His cloctlon, in a political sense, would be a great misfor tune; in an economic sense it would be a signal to the tariff wreckers at Wash ington to proceed with the ruinous agi tation and panic-breeding demolition of American industries; but in a personal sense It would escape even the most viru lent criticism of opposing partisan ex tremists." This is the proper spirit and the more of it that is shown the less will our pull tics be open to the charges that have had such a tendency to deter able men from mingling In tho affairs of government. Like many other things to be seen at the present day, it is a hopeful sign and au gurs well for the future of tho country. Correcting a .Mistake. From the Philadelphia Press. The expression of 1890 was a fitful and unreflecting outburst of passion; that of 1892 a wayward and Insensate freak of de lusion; that of 1894 will be the deliberate and conclusive dictate of illuminating ex perience and irresistible reason. With the vivid object lessons of the past months blighting their homes and opening their eyes, the American people will do all in their power to check tho flood of disaster which they blindly and madly lot loose two years ago. Then they took a wild leap in the dark. They raBhly and Impul sively plunged upon an untried and un known experiment. Now they know the direful consequences they called down upon themselves by their colossal folly, and their overmastering purpose will be to do what they can to rectify the awful mlstuke. THE SONG I NEVER SING. As when In dreams wo sometimes hear A melody so faint and fine And musically sweet and clear, It llavors all the atmosphere With harmony divine So, often in my waking dreams, Like fairy voices whispering I hear the song I never sing. Sometimes when brooding o'er the years My lavish youth has thrown away When all the glowing past appears But as a mirage that my tears Have crumbled to decay 1 thrill to find the ache and pain Of my remorse Is stilled again, As, forward bent and listening, I hear the song I never slug. A murmuring of rythmic words, Adrift on tunes whoso currents flow . Melodious with the trill of birds, And far-off lowing of tho herds In lands of long-ago; And every sound the truant loves Comes to me like the coo of doves When llrst in blooming fields of Spring I heard the song I never Blng. Tho echoes of old voices, wound In limpid-streams of laughter where The river Time runs bubble-crowned, And giddy eddies ripple round The lilies growing there; When roses, bending o'er the brink, Drain their own kisses as they drink, And ivies climb and twine and cling About the song I never sing. An ocean surge of sound that falls As though a tide of Heavenly art Had tempested the gleaming halls And crested o'er the golden walls In showers of my heart.... Thus thus, with open arms and eye3 Uplifted toward the alien skies, Forgetting every earthly thing, I hear the Bong I never sing.
