Justice for Judge Willard.
It ta clearly demonstrated that there
ean be only one consistent attitude for
the true friends of Judge 'Willard to
assume in the present fight In Lacka
wanna county. They must be for TVil
Iard first, last and all the time, irre
spective of other interests and other
candidates. It la not true that his nom-
tlnn Haft tnnnth ta aaaiiiAt1 w ri ITa
""v threatened, the fact re-
nons nave publicly expressed a deter
mination to present 'Wholly new candi
dates for Superior court Judgeships to
the Republican State convention; and
tn Safeguarding the prospects of our
' own distinguished townsman this fact
should be kept steadily in mind.
,. 6ne of these rival candidates will
eotne from the Northwest, probably In
the person of Hon. S. A. Davenport, of
Erie. The other will come from the fa
mous Cumberland Valley, probably in
the person of Judge John Stewart. By a
combination of forces added to such
strength as may be thrown to them by
the minority element of the convention
they may easily succeed in displacing
tiro of the six Republican, members of
the present Superior court bench, with
the probability that the two to be thus
attacked would be either Judges Orlady
Or Beaver, and Willard or Rice, whn
respectively Inhabit adjoining counties.

It Is fairly due to Judge Willard, both
according to precedent and likewise In

thraclte coal tdade, for In that trade,
unlike the iron trade, the commodity
dealt with Is limited by nature and any
waste of it In reckless competitive war
fare is therefor Irreparable. But It
win probably do no good to talk In this
prudent vein to either class of produc
ers. Everybody recognises the- theoret
ical justice and wisdom of accepting a
conservative and steady profits rather
than temporarily big ones, followed by
equally ample losses; but nobody Is suf
ficiently practical to apply the general
principle to his own Individual case.
A Campaign of False Pretences.
Senator Quay eoys he will support
Willard for Judge at the state conven
tion. No doubt he will, If the admin
istration's side wins, since his opposi
tion would then ba futile. But what
opinion would Governor (Hastings form
of the gratitude of Lackawanna Ilepub
llcans If, after unreservedly appoint
ing one of their number to a iosltlon
on the Superior court bench, they
should reiay this high compliment by
svndlngr a deliberately hostile- delega
tion into the convention to tight him?
In vha.t rhupo would It leave tho party
In this county In tho future, so far as
further executive favors are con
cerned ?
On tho other h-anJ, If Quay should
control the convention, will he be like
ly to remember his present promise?
May net he fall back upon the conven
ient plea that while he personally was
for Willard, he could not prevent the
opposition delegates from combining
against Willard? Hesldes, would not
the senator, in that event, himself be
,the first to recognize the propriety of
Lackawanna ivlneing some show of
gratitude toward the governor for his
kindness In the promisee? If his cham
pions speak the truth about him. Quay
does not approve of ingratitude, even
toward his opponents. He admires an
open foe better than an Indifferent
and untrustworthy friend.
From every standpoint, therefore, the
attempt of tivj local Quay shouters to
tie Judge Willard captive to the Quay
chariot wheel Is unfair and indiscreet.
The fact is fast becoming apparent that
despite contrary protestations they are
really hostile to Willard and, In fact,
care for nobody, not even Quay, except
as they can bend him to their own
selfish purposes. The true friends of
Judge Willard cannot consistently aid
any such cheeky campaign of false pretences.
The Situation in Luzerne.
The Quay-Hastings battle is on In
Luzerne county and is growtng hotter
every day. The friends of Hastings
have at last become fully aroused and
now propose to make a fight for a full
Hastings delegation. Every Republi
can paper In the county, with the sin
gle exception of the Pittston Gazette,
has declared against Senator Quay in
the present contest. Even the Hazle
ton Sentinel, the leading Republican
paper of the lower end, is in appar
ent sympathy with theanti-Quayltes,
and predicts that the Hazleton legisla
tive diatrlct wiU send Hastings dele
gates to the state convention. There
has at no time been much doubt that
the Wilkes-Barre and adjacent districts
would be anti-Quay, but the indications
new are that the delegation of nine will
at the most contain not more than two
or three Quay adiherents.
The Luzerne Republicans appear to
be able to see the Impropriety of stab
bing Governor Hastings in the back
after he has shown his partiality by
granting all the favors they have asked
at his hands. Some Lackawanna Re
publicans would do well to take a lea
son in common gratitude from the Lu
zerne brethren.
Simply an Incident.
We do not agree with the Philadel
phia Inquirer that If Judge Gilkeson
were taken out of the present contest
in the state, there would be nothing
left to fight about. Judge Gilkeson has
the misfortune to hold two olTlcts which
are Incompatible and does not appear
to realize that by this double tenure
he is embarrassing the administration
to which he owes his appointment as
banking commissioner. Hut even if he
were eliminated, the situation would re
main practically the same, except that
the administration's cause would be
strengthened.
The real issue, as our readers well
know, Is whether a governor whom the
people last autumn elected by the larg
est majority on record In the entire
history of American politics, Is within
a year to be sustained In the dignified
and upright performance of his official
duties, or whether he Is to be, by a vote
of his party, made a mere employe of
one of the United States senators of
Pennsylvania whether, in brief, he Is
to remain a chief executive, responsible
only to the people, or be subordinated
Into a clerk of Senator Quay. We re
peat that In siich an Issue, Judge Gilke
son figures simply aa an Incident.
Notwithstanding the unfair disad
vantages besetting defendants under
Pennsylvania's iaitflquated libel law,
the Scranton Truth does not seem to
be losing any sleep over its $25,000 libel
suit. But, then, the Truth Is a careful,
conscientious and thoroughly reputable
paper, which neither wilfully libels peo
ple nor permits Itself to be frightened
when it comes Into contact with that
Interesting thing colloquially known
the great American bluff. '
Senator Quay has returned to Phila
delphia and announced to his friends
throughout the state that he Is very
well satisfied with what he accom
plished In his mission to Scranton and
Wllkes-Brte. For reasons known to
himself he rans to explain,, Hie meant
y which he achieved his alleged sue
ess. . The senator says that among
er things, he "captured the,, dele-
from Susquehanna county." Pos-
slbly he did; but the Susquehanna con
vention has not yet been held, and If
the honest Republican masses of that
staunch county should become aware of
what transpired In tha Wyoming house
room, where the said "capture" of Sus
quehanna's delegates was made, they
might possibly rise up and liberate the
victims of the bagging. ,
Senator Quay's visit among the peo
ple has had the effect to clear Srom his
mind any misconception as to where
they stand In the matter. . He now
knows that while they are for him In
any wise and honorable function of his
admitted leadership, they do not pro
pose to be used as mere pawns In a bat
tle of personal vengeance on the gover
nor and his administration. If the sen
ator is wise, he will profit by this in
struction. The Syracuse Post on Wednesday
celebrated Its first birthday by issuing
a handsome special number replete
with Interesting features. The Post
six days each week Is a bright, clean
and comprehensive newspaper, which
reflects credit In equal parts upon Its
founders, Its conductors and the public
which supports It.
"A boss Is all right," says the local
Quay organ, '.'when he's with the peo
ple; when he's against them It's time
to rap him on the head." Precisely;
anJ that '8 why the budding bosses who
form the Quay clique In Lackawanna
are In for a rap, and a pretty severe
one at that.
According to Editor Pro Tom. Pen
man, it is "an easy thine for the Re
publicans of Lackawanna county to
elect Quay delegates;" but we notice
that Brother Penman Is nevertheless
making a good deal of fuss about It.
And he probably won't bag any dele
gates, either.
.
It strikes us that If Senator Quay
has good reasons for his present fight
on the state administration they should
be mentioned cow, while the people
are electing state delegates, and not
kept secret until the day of the conven
tion, An honest cause ought not to
shun publicity.
The appearance In the ring of the
Scranton Republican as the trick mule
of the eo-called antl-bossism circus Is
diverting enough to please the most
fastidious. But with Scranton himself
gone over sea the show is much like
"Hamlet" with the Dane left out.
If General Hastings was good enough
to be elected he ought to be good
enough to be supported. Why should
Senator Quay ask the Republican
masses of Pennsylvania to stultify
themselves because he and the gover
nor do not agree? - -
While the self-labeled Quay shouters
of Carbondale are contributing the
noise, Olerk of the Courts Thomas re
mains busy sawing wood. Noise Is a
good thing In its way, but as Quay him
self remarked, "It's votes that count."
Running an anti-WUlard campaign
under a .nominally Willard banner in
Judge Wiljard's own district Is a good
deal harder Job that It would seem at
first glance. If you don't think so, ask
Messrs. Dale and Westpfahl.
"We wish to congratulate our es
teemed contemporary, Editor Penman,
upon the notable recent improvement
m the mirth-provoking qualities of the
Scranton Republican's fourth page.
Colonel Watres' return, in time .not
only to see the fireworks but also to
have a little exercise dn the flxinir
thereof will disappoint the expecta
tions of those who don't know it all.
From the city treasurershlp to the
postmaster's chair mav be a fur inmn
as events yet threaten to demonstrate.
Honest, now, major, are Quay's
chances In the Fourth district worth
$2,000?

' Perhaps the most untiring worker !b
Philadelphia, says the Bulletin, Is David
Martin. There 4s scarcely a waking hour
that Is not devoted by htm one way or the
other to the conflict. In which, he Is such a
conspicuous figure. At - the city hall,
where for the present he baa his headquar
ters, he Is waited upon by scores of work
ers every day, receiving reports and Issu
ing orders. His Industry and tireless per
sistency seem to be eontsglous, and have
Imbued his followers with a corresponding
liveliness ta the anti-Quay cause. David
Martin Is certainly an aggressive oppo
nent, backed, ss ha Is, by the support of
the administration, and It la not to be won
dered at that his friends expect to sweep

Norrtstown. July 10-County Chairman
William F. Solly haa decided to Issus a
call for a meeting of the Republican
county committee on July 88 to tlx the date
of the convention to elect seven delegates
to the state convention. The date selected
will likely be Aug. IS. Both sides of the
contest are lining up for a good show
ing. Today's reports show more gains by
the Hastings peopW. What Is particularly
encouraging Is that they have managed
to divide the Quay strongholds Norrls
town and Pottatown. The brunt of the
battle haa been at these two places, for It
is regarded by both factions that the
townohlp delegates will be anti-Quay as
they have been for years.
II II II
Harrrlsburg, July 10. Hon. D. Smith
Talbot, of Chester county, has declared
for Quay for state chairman and Hast
ings for chairman of the state convention.
He was not so certain, however, that the
delegatea from Chester county would vote
that way. In fact, the visiting statesmen
to Harrlsburg from alleged Quay counties
all have a mental reservation when they
say Quay will carry their counties. Sena
tor Lemon, of Blair, was here today and
admitted that Hastings will have the dele
gates from Blair with one exception, a
colored, man who has declared for Quay.
II II II
York, July 10. The dally Evening Dis
patch, the recognized leading Republican
paper of the city and county, has come

and Chairman B. F. Gilkeson. Editorially
It has for several days be.n vigorously up.

In the opinion of many, the most pictur
esque piece of Impudence that haa charac
terized the course of this "Campaign of
Assassination," aa he has dubbed it Is the
assertion of Senator Quay that If he Is
beaten It will be by the use of money.
This broak Is calculated to amuse Senutor
Mcpherson's cook.
II II II
The price for proxies as delegates to the
Republican state convention Is rising rap
idly. The antl-HasUngs emissaries are. It

where delegates favorable to the governor
have been elected and endeavoring to se
cure proxies for men who will do Senator
Quay's bidding.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
The Passing of the Bosses.
Wilkes-Barre Record: "The Republican
party needs leaders, not bosses. Boss pol
itics has grown very distasteful to Penn
sylvania Republicans. Under rthe boss
system, capable men, willing to give time
and talents to the public service, are not
allowed a chance, unless they are willing
to ask permission of the boss, take orders
from the boss, do the bidding of the boss,
and practically surrender private Judg
ment, self-respect, and, not unfrequently,
personal honesty. What Inducement Is
there for honorable men to enter public
life In Pennsylvania? What system Is It
that for more than thirty years has
dwarfed our public men and kept the
ablest out of public life until Pennsyl
vania politics has become a hissing and
reproach in all the nation? By what plan
has the state been doomed to representa
tion In the senate of the United States
humiliating and disgraceful to every Penn
sylvanlan? It Is the boss system. It per
meates every election district. Even can
didates for county offices seek the favor
of the boss before attempting to run.
The representative In the legislature must
be approved by the boss, who can there
fore control legislation. The boss con
trols and distributes patronage, and dic
tates wlto shall hold office In the country
village as well as In the great city. The
prlc of political preferment Is loyalty to
the boss. Party, principles, Integrity all
go tor nothing when In the way of the
commands of the boss. Disobedience to
boss orders or wishes Is the certain pre
lude to defeat and retirement. Yesterday
the boss was here. His supremacy Is
threatened. He is asking support. Does
he rely upon Ms record of services which
are creditable; does he appeal to Re
publicans to stand by him ia vindication
of the principles of the party, to promote
party success, or establish party harmony?
No, his reliance Is upon 'the loyalty of
Republicans of Lusrne county to me.'
These are his words: 'Loyalty to mo.'
Since when did Luzerne Republicans swear
allegiance or promise to be loyal to any
man?" 1
II II II
Is Not Ungrateful.
Wllkes-Barre Record: "The charge of In
gratitude has never yet been laid at the
door of Luzerne county. She has been
recognized by the present administration
as she was never recognized before. She
hast been honored with the president
Judgeship of the next highest court in tho
state. At her request the secessionists of
lower Luzerne have been balked, and
their selfish schemes defeated. For these
reasons alone it Is only Just to suppose
that a majority of Lucerne's delegates
will stand by Hastings at the convention.
But above and beyond any feeling of
gratitude for favors bestowed, Is the
broad principle of Justice and fair play.
The efforts of Senator Quay to strangle
all opposition to his authority have
brought him down from the high estate
of a broad-minded leader to the narrow
sphere of a political boss who wants all
or nothing. In order to perpetuate his
power he seeks to destroy the political
usefulness of the governor, even as he
sought to destroy him when he forced
Delamater down the throats of the people.
Quay made a fatal mistake then, and we
believe that he Is making a fatal mistake
now. That he may see his error before the
convention meets Is the earnest hope of
every Republican In the state."
II II II
No War Mads on Qnsy.
Philadelphia Press: "There was and Is
no war on Senator Quay, Nobody dis
puted his position or Ms Influence. Hs
had only to be reasonable and considerate
and broad-minded as he was lost year,
and his leadership was secure. But while
there was no opposition to him, a few
malt, Juvenile, short-sighted, narrow
minded faotlonlsts, who assume to speak
In his name, began war upon the governor
and his administration. All of the strong,
sagacious men who have been Senator
Quay's main pillars while these piddling
little fellows were worthless, remonstrated
with him agaJnst countenancing their
folly and warned him of the Inevitable
consequences. But In the face of these
earnest counsels, the unprovoked and Ill
judged warfare against the administra
tion went on, and It now remains for ths
Republicans of Pennsylvania to say
whether the governor of their choice Is to
be condemned and humiliated at the very
beginning of bis term."
II II II
Quits a Plssssnt Noveltv.
Fhlledelpma Bulletin: "The fact that
General Hastings is the first Republican
governor in a quarter of a eentury who
has had courage enough to presume to
run his administration to his own convlo
tlons of duty, and not according to ths
directions of Mr. Quay, Is a novelty which
some Republicans cannot yet understand.
It Is the sort of novelty, however, which
tho plain people of the party who love
fair play, and who sleeted Governor Hast
ings In ths belief that hs was strong
enough tocommand It, find altogether re-
freshing. To them It is eminently desira
ble to have a governor at least once In a
generation who alms to get In touch with
the people and who declines to acknowl
edge Mr. Quay as his official master snd
peJlUcal guardian."
II II II
Sim pi Defending Themselves.
Philadelphia Press: "Neither Governor
Heatings nor any of his friends were ag
gressors. They have raised no standard
against any Republican leader. They
have engaged In no contests except as
they have been forced Into It. They are
simply defending themselves against un
concealed and unmistakable attack. For
the truth of this we appeal to every fair
minded Republican."
II II II
Come to a Pretty Pass.
Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer: "A United
States senator trotting around the state
and beseeching for votes Is not calculated
to Impress the people strongly with the
dignity that should belong to that of
fice. Truly, matters have come to a pretty
pass when this la found necessary."

So do we compass within this, our usual space, more good and truthful talk than is
