The report has been circulated that
the Wlllard candidates for state dele
ffatkmship honors in the Second Leg
islative district. Colonel E. H. Ripple
and City Controller F. J. Wldmayer,
re pledged to Hastings. This Is un
true In every particular. These gentle
men have made no pledges whatsoever,
except to do all they can for the can
didacy of Judge Wlllard. They are for
Wl!!ard first, last and all the time;
further than that, tihelr hands are free.

amonjr' the true friends of Senator
Quay no effort to embarrass Uhe pros
PCfs of Judge Rice by seeking to unite
hi fortunes with, tho fortunes of the
Junior senator, who may be, and very
probably will be, defeated at the Au
gust round-up. la Luzerne county, the
. paramount consideration is the wel
fare of the honored Jurist of that coun
ty who will be a, candidate before the
next convention.
There are Just as many true Quay
tntn In Lwserne as there are In Lacka
wanna, county men who admire -Bhe
ewrtor's albtllty and who, as a rule,
Viae groat deal of confidence In his
sagacity as a political leader. Rut these
friends of the senator are also loyal
friends of Judge Rice; and they readily
perceive the Inconsistency of trying, at
. this early stage of the fight, to tie up
definitely, eKher wVth Quay or Gllke-
,aoTk They are content to concede to
Judge Rice himself the fair -courtesy
. of a solid home delegation willing to do
for dim, at Harriaburg next month,
whatever In his Judgment It may seem
proper to "do In order to advance Ms
candidacy before the state convention.
Observe the difference, though, In
tlaelrarereana county! Here we have
dosewi of the very men who, in 1890,
willingly permitted Senator Wat res to
. select delegates in hie Interest, tearing
their hair and cavorting around as self
labeled Quay men, "whether it suits
Judge Wlllard or not" They frankly
admit, to private conversation, that
(bey are working exclusively for Quay;
and only assume to be, In part, for
Wlllard (because that assumption gives
them a leverage on some of the judge's
umoplnstlcated friends.
In the Interests of decency and fair
play, not to mention the obligations
- whkh Lackawanna county Republi
cans have been under to Judge Wlllard,
for nearly two-score years, The Trib-
- una earnestly protests against such de
' eeptlve tactics. If Quay Is of more Im
portance to the Quay boomers than
Judge Wlllard Is, let them frankly say
to. If not, let them quit trying to ride
two horses on this Journey. The peo
pie of Lackawanna county, without
' reference to Quay or CHlkeson or any
' body else, owe to their home candidate
the ompttinent of a solid delegation,
pledged not to Quay nor to Gllkeaon,
' but pledged wholly and unreservedly
. to-fi. J. WMswd,

of work which caused these singers to
surrender other opportunities of em
ployment and Induced them to come to
gcranton, they might today be earning
a good livelihood In freedom from the
humiliating necessity which now causes
them, without fault on their part, to
appeal to publlo oharlty.
Meanwhile, what is the Scranton
Traotton company going to do In the
premises? Is it going to permit the
further use of Us prestige as a bait to
lure rnnocent people Into humiliation
and loss? Or will its management be
manly enough to step up to the cap
tain's office and settle the present In
debtedness for which It Is, In the opin
ion of many, morally, if 'not legally, re
sponsible? This will not take an exor
bitant sum. The company could re
imburse Itself In a few weeks for this
Just expenditure by simply shutting
down on Its political expenses and by
pulling out of the Junk shop a few more
old cars for use, say, on the Nay Aug
line.
An Interesting. Comparison.
While it will not be pretended that
the last legislature did not commit
numerous errors. It is interesting to
note that the Democratic critics of Its
work live, for that matter, in fragile
glass houses. As the Philadelphia
Press opportunely points out, the real
Increase In the state expenses this year
"is In about the same ratio as the
growth of tho state. The very Dem
ocratic organs which have most fiercely
attacked the appropriations have com
mended the legislature for reorganiz
ing the Banking department for creat
ing the Superior court and for legisla
tion to suppress the so-called sweat
shops. These three matters, however,
added to the deficiencies left by the pre
vious legislature, call for an Increased
expenditure In the next two years of
some $423,000. The reorganization of
the Agricultural department and of the
Department of Publlo Buildings and
Grounds, which wus bitterly assailed at
the time, has resulted In a reduction of
the appropriation to the former of $9,000
and to the latter of $15,000. In addi
tion to this It has been made certain
there will be a considerable saving in
a better system of supplies.
"There has been no such Increase of
salaries as has been pretended for par
tisan effect, and not anything like what
took place during the last administra
tion of Governor Paulson, a Democrat.
Under that paragon of reform the rec
ords show an advance of nearly a quar
ter of a million dollars in the salary
list alone, and this does not includo the
pay of the three new Judges In Alle
gheny county. Some of the things done
In those reform days were to authorize
three additional clerks for the secre
tary of the commonwealth, three addi
tional clerks for the auditor general,
two additional clerks for the adjutant
general all these at a salary of $1,400
each. The lieutenant governor's sal
ary waa raised from $3,000 to $5,000.
The chief clerk and corporation clerk In
the state department got an increase
from $1,800 to $3,000; so did similar clerks
In the auditor general's office. The chief
clerk of the attorney general got a
raise from $1,600 to $3,300, and an addi
tional $1,000 was given Secretary Harrl
ty's corporation clerk for some work
out of the ordinary, but done In office
hours.
"Then came some interesting Items.
The salary of the superintendent of
publlo Instruction was raised from $3,
500 to $4,000 and the Incumbent refused
to take the office until the Increase was
made. Tho salary of the deputy attor
ney general was Increased from $2,500 to
$4,000; that of the auditor general from
$3,000 to $4,000; the deputy superintend
ent of banking from $1,400 to $2,500.
Among f.ie officers provided for were
dairy and food commissioner, forestry
commiasloner, botanist 'forestry com
missioner, six additional deputy factory
Inspectors, while the pay of the six al
ready In service was Increased and the
salary of the Inspector himself was
doubled while he was in office.
"These things were not assailed by
the Democratic press at the time be
cause they were all approved by a
Democratic governor. Many thou
sands of dollars were paid out of the
contingent funds In the various depart
ments under Democratic administra
tion for clerks not authorized by law;
the fact that the last legislature legal
ized their employment does not nec
essarily add to the expenses. The talk
of our Democratic contemporaries does
not bear either analysis or compart
son." The real fact Is that the Demo
cratic party, In Its present and prospect
ive clamor about largely fictitious, leg
islative extravagance, 1a simply trying
to repeat on a smaller scale the grand
bunco game that It successfully played
on the people of the United States in
the presidential election of 1892. We
doubt If It will work.
Senator Quay's decision not to oppose
In the August convention Governor
Hastings' appointments to the Supe
rior court bench Is an eminently pru
dent one. In sharp contrast with the
senator's first attitude of poorly-concealed
hostility. The bench should not
be dragged Into factional controversy
under any circumstances, least of all
under the circumstances not prevalent
In this state. The manifestation by the
senator of a similar spirit earlier In the
struggle would doubtless have given a
different color to the battle now rag
ing throughout the commonwealth.
For a whole fortnight, or eoV the
public has been permitted to forget the
existence of one Stephen Grover Cleve
land; and It's a precious welcome re
lief. . ' L ; . ,. . : ;
The suspicion 4s rapidly growing
hereabouts that the label 'Quay". Is be-
lag used in Lackawanna county to
cover a multitude of schemes la which
Senator Quay himself has no part or
parcel. ' : -1 '
Well, Senator Quay has come and
gone, and the Lackawanna river still
flows down bin, while the festive goat
gambolson the bank thereof. But It was
well that he came. It Is always weH
for a publlo official to know his consti
tuents. The assertion in the local Quay organ
that Chester - county's delegates had
unanimously decided to stand by Quay
is somewhat premature. In view of the
fact that Chester county has not yet
elected its delegates to the state con
vention. Those In this county who put Quay's
Interests first, regardless of the Inter
ests of Lackawanna's home candidate,
are. seeking to establish a precedent
that may easily react in campaigns to
come.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
The Wllkes-Barre Record addresses an
open letter to Senator Quay, of which this
Is the gist: "You may tell the poople of
this valley that you are fighting In self
defense, that the state administration has
begun an attack upon you without cause
in order to seise he reins of power. You
may say that you are trying to repel this
attack in order to preserve the Integrity
of the Republican organisation. We know
better. We know that you began the at
tack. We know that Governor Hastings
has made every effort consistent with po
litical manhood to conciliate you and that
you have refused to be conciliated. We
know that ever since your man Penrose
was defeated in his attempt fo become
the mayor of Philadelphia contrary to
the wishea of the people you have been
opposed to the state administration. We
know that from the day when Warwick
was nominated you have uaed all the
power you possessed to discredit and hu
miliate Governor Hastings and his friends.
You set out to destroy the most success
ful leader who ever led Pennsylvania Re
publicans to victory because he was a
member of the governor's official family.
You threw the weight of yoqr personal
Influence against the apportionment bills
demanded by the constitution because
Governor Hastings had pledged himself
to apportionment.- With the aid of the
Democratic members of the legislature
you succeeded in defeating these bills,
although their passage was demanded by
the people of the state. It was not until
you had done these things that Governor
Hastings and his friends resolved to de
fend themselves. To tamely submit to
you would have been cowardly. You de
manded the head of Chairman Gtlkeson
as the only acceptable peace offering and
announced your Intention of becoming a
candidate against him yourself. Governor
Hastings and his friends would be the
veriest poltroons it they consented to be
tray Gllkeson at your behest. They chose
the manly course and rallied to his de
fense. That, In brief, is the true history of
the matter, and your efforts to cloud the
Issue by trying to make the people be.
lleve that the governor Is the attacking
party will not go down. The simple fact
Is, senator, that you have started out to
destroy the political future of Governor
Hastings. You have found the contract
larger than you Imagined, and now you
are bidding for sympathy by reversing the
facts and trying to place the governor in
a false position. The people know the
truth, however, and we believe that they
will recognize the right and stand by It."
II II II
The Wllkes-Barre Times correctly sum
marizes the case when it remarks that
"like all political bosses who have had
their way a long time, Quay has become
dictatorial. For years the Republican
party in the state has declared for and
demanded a reapportionment which, ac
cording to the state constitution, which is
mandatory upon this point, should have
been done long ago. Governor Hastings,
in his inaugural address, called upon the
incoming legislature to enaot such legis
lation as would accomplish It and pledged
his administration to its support. Proper
bills were Introduced. For a time they
were hung up; hoy were finally defeat
ed; but the Republican sentiment of the
state was very strong in their favor; al
most the entire Republican press of the
state united in a demand for their passage,
many of those which are now in favor of
Quay being among the number. An at
tempt was made to reconsider, but be
cause apportionment would give another
congressman each to Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, two cities of the state In which
Quaylsm did not flourish. It pleased Mr.
Quay to demand their defeat. At first he
feigned Indifference, but when he saw
that, in spite of his pronounced wishes,
they were likely to become laws, be threw
off his mask and boldly going himself to
the capital, applied personal appeal and
the party lash to secure tholr defeat. Even
then the majority of the Republican mem
bers showed themselves by their votes, to
be In favor of the bills; It was only by the
aid of the votes of all the Democrats
members present, together with those of
the Republican majority, that he secured
tholr final defeat. Now he is seeking to
humiliate and discredit the administration
of Governor Hastings because he has
dared to oppose his wishes." Rut he will
not succeed. That kind of bossistn is
doomed. Stick a pin here,
II II II '
The Wllkes-Barre Times, while bespeak
ing for Senator Quay a cordial personal
welcome on the occasion of his visit to the
mothan, county, opportunely adds: "While
Mr. Quay as representative of the state of
Pennsylvania in the United States senate,
Is entitled to our loyal support, Quay as
an interloper and disturber In the affairs
of Luserne county Is not entitled to recog
nition. We cannot afford to turn over to
Mr. Quay the party machinery of this
county to satisfy his personal grudge or
resentment. When Governor Hastings
was elected we, in Luzerne county, were a
unit, as Republicans, In his favor and
nothing to our knowledge has occurred
since that time to change our views of the
man. Senator Quay, as a leader of the
party hosts, has shown himself brainy,
far-seeing and most competent; as a die
tator of Luzerne politics he is certain to
be a colossal failure."
II II II
All of the Philadelphia Sunday papers
contained the following: Information
has reached here to the effect that Major
Everett Warren, the president of the Btate
League of Republican clubs. Is shortly to
be appointed by Governor Hastings judge
advocate general of the National guard.
Major Warren Is a aon-ln-Iaw of E. N.
Wlllard, one of the Judges of the new Su
perior court, and the appointment la sup.
posed to carry with H a strong pull for
delegates In Lackawanna county." There
Is, as readers of The Tribune know, not
one word of truth In the foregoing asser
tion. Major Warren was offered but he
declined the appointment In question.
II II II
The Lancaster Examiner, ex-Chief Clerk
Cochran's paper, Is of the belief that
"Governor Hastings can afford to be the
most Independent executive this state has
ever had, and his lack of selfishness would
make hint the moat respected of leaders,
These are qualities Senator Quay least
likes. Insubordination to his decrees is
something he cannot conceive or forgive.
Those who refuse to obey orders are called
'assassins.' v High and low must obey or
war Is declared. Governor Hastings will
not submit, and in such a contest It is
needless to say that the publlo rushes to
the support of the gallant leader in the
parson of the commonwealth's executive."
In reply to the allscatlon that Senator
Quay opposes the re-eleoUon of Chairman
OUkasoa becauae the tatter sought te
have the apportionsneat siUs laseaa, the
senator's f Heads, accord tag to the Harris,
burg Tekgraah. "say that Governor Hast,
lass, at Wast, knows that this Is est true;
that two months before apporuotimeat
waa seriously eooatdered Senator Quay
had announced to the governor bis otpo
sltion to Mr. Gllkeson, aad given his rea
sons for the ,oepesitioa, aad that these
reason did not grow out of apportionment
or any other legislative matur."
II II II
Aooordmg to Major Heady, these who
are oa the Inside In Demoeratlo eouaells
have IKtle doubt that Grower Cleveland
Is a candidate for a third term, precedent
and tradition to the contrary notwith
standing. Cleveland himself gives no sign
and none in his official household or in his
cabinet has a word to say oa the subject;
but here and there, at points widely dis
tant from each other, there la aa intima
tion which la sufficient to put the Cleve
land Idolaters on their guard and keep
them from committing themselves to other
candidates.
This la how the'Urriatown Herald puts
it: "The Herald has embraced every suit
able opportunity to commend theRpub
llcanlsm of Mr. Quay and give him credit
for great ability and shrewdness In prac
tlcal potMlce. But the senator la on the
wrong track now, as he was when side
tracking Hastings for Delamater, and he
should not plead the baby act If Instead of
assassinating his party again he himself
should be the victim."
, The Wllkes-Barre Times very correctly
opines that "Hon. Voe' Scranton has ac
cepted an up-hill contract In attempting to
furnish a Quay delegation from Lacka
wanna county."
II II II
In a letter to the Norrlstown Herald
Jack Robinson declares that his recent
campaign for the lieutenant governorship
cost him less than $2,000, Wonder who
paid the balance?
II II II
It la asserted that Porry county's two
Republican state delegates will vote for
Hastings and Gllkeson. One of the dele
gates will be John Wlster, of New Bloom-field.

It will be the opinion of a child born this
day that if Mr. Quay ever stood any show
of capturing Lackawanna delegates, nls
chances were badly "queered" yesterday
by the talkative coterie who were most
anxious to pose as "Quay men."
The refusal of the Scranton poor board
to aid the stranded opera singers who were
hungry and penniless, very naturally sug
gests the query: "What are we paying
poor tax for?"
It Is evident that Major Penman will
need to have his eyebrows arched with
pomade In order to express proper sur
prise at the appearance of the early bliz
zard that will overtake his squad.
