BCRANTON, JULY 13, 1805. The) attempt to tie the hands of Judge WHlard's friend In the Fourth Legis lative district seems to have fun against a snag. Carry the news to Ma jor Penman. Not a Quay Campaign. Attention Is called to the interview with ex-Lieutenant Governor Vatres on page 6. Colonel Watres is probably closer to Senator Quay than any other man in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and therefore ought to know, better than any other man in this county, what is fair to the senator and to his candidacy for state chairman. W&en Colonel Watrea unequivocally asserts 'his belief that Judge Willard. as the one candidate from this county who will come before the 'next state convention, should be permitted to choose his own delegates, and that thuae delegates, when chosvn, ought to be guldied at the convention by the Judge's counsel, regardless of their per sonal opinions or preferences, this ought to be proof conclusive that the real friends of Senator Quay are not In sympathy with the spurious cam paign which malcontents, who misuse Quay's name, are waging against Judge Wlllard's candidates 1m the Second Legislative district. In view of this deliverance we feel Justified in asserting that the candi dacy of Messrs. Bale and Westpfahl i'a not a candidacy primarily In the inter est of Senator Quay, whatever claims they may make to this effect; but in reality a contest for self-advancement and for the venting of private griev ances against prominent supporters of Judge Willard. A little more abuse of Clerk of the Courts Thomas by the IDemoratle edi tor of the Carbondale Anthracite would probably have made his victory well nigh unanimous. ' An Unmitigated Falsehood. Among tho many lies being circulated by the alleged Quay manipulators is the statement that having been told by Senator Quay that the latter would be here Monday last to see him, Judge WlUord sneaked out of (town for the purpose of avoiding a meeting with the senator. The truth ia that Senator Quay did not send word that he wished to see Judge "Wlliard on that occasion. The gentlemen whom he did, In writing, ex press a desire to inert namely, William Cornell end. Major Everett Warren called upon him at the appointed time, and each held ft long conference with the senator. Judge "Willard's absence was m response to the duties of his new position as a Judge of the 'Superior court, 'urbictt fact was duly and satis factorily explained to Senator Quay. We trust that this will settle tMs audacious Ike, and silence the defamers who ore circulating It. Senator Quay, In the Fourth district, has been saved from his fool friends. Now let the Second district profit by this example. Bosflam'A Pet Plea. Seldom lias tho mask been so com pletely dropped from In front of boss Ism In politics as It has been In the case of the Quay organs which are now abusing such men as Adjutant General Stewart, General Reeder,' Chief Clerk Fetterolf and others for their refusal to follow Senator Quay in his misguid ed campaign of vengeance on the state administration. These men are being called lngrates and berated as pick pockets, and for what? Because they have failed to perform satisfactorily the duties of their respective offices? No. Because they have ceased to be clean Republicans and capable public servants? No. Because they have vio lated their oath of allegiance to the stats constitution by seeking; to annul Its mandate concerning; reapportion ment? No. The whole burden of their offending Is their refusal to take suicidal orders from Senator Quay. And why should they not refuse? .Quay Is not their owner. He has, as United States sen ator, no Jurisdiction over their services. The man to whom they should look for orders would naturally be the gover nor of the state, under whom they Serve. But General Hastings has given them none. He has not said what they should do In this contest nor what they should not do. The only man who has appeared at any stage In the role of boss Is ths man whose newspaper oi ..ir.L UKUBMt blabllj gana are now so copious In their lamen tation; and the only excuse which we can see for his conduct in the premises Is that lie must actually begin, with advancing years, to feel a kind of own ership not only over the publlo offices In Pennsylvania but also over the men who fill those offices. Secretary Reeder an Ingrate, (because he declines to be a party to the n-drews-Penrose conspiracy of guberna torial humllatlon? Not bit of It. Sec retary Reeder la the warmest and truest friend that Quay has In the com monwealth a friend who dares to per form the highest office of friendship by counselling against mistaken, almost suicidal policies, even at the cost of be ing dubbed an ingrate by such party wreckers as Hill Andrews, Boles Pen rose and Frank Willing Leach. Gen eral Tom Stewart an ingrate because lie will not help in the plot to deceive the people and punish his commander-in-chief? What arrant nonsense It all Is; and yet what a characteristic revela tion of the ugliest side of party bosstsm, which under Quay has reached propor tions before unguessed! The history of yesterday will repeat Itself today In the Second. Hypocrisy Unmasked. A circular was sent through ths mails yesterday to tho voters of ths Second legislative district signed by M. H. Dale and C. W. Westpfahl and asking friends of Senator Quay to support the signers for state dele gates. They "pledge themselves to ths candidacy of E. N. Willard" and promise to "do everything in their power to nominate him at the stats convention." It is high time that such duplicity and deceit as this should be exposed, and the signers shown up in their true light. In the first place these two men are endeavoring to defeat Judge Williard's friends, especially the can didates whom the judge has person ally selected as men whom he would like to go as delegates in his interests to the state convention. These men are Colonel E. H. Ripple and Fred J. Widmayer. In the secopd place, though Messrs. Dais' and Westpfahl pretend that they can be for Willard and Quay at the same time, they know better. They know that, so far as pledges go, they are Quay men, and subject to Quay'a orders. They cannot act as Judge Willard would desire, but must act as Quay directs. If they were true to Willard, they would not fight his choice for delegates. The fact that thev are fighting those gentlemen proves that they are untrue to Wil lard, and that to elect them delegates would be to slap Willard in the face and jeopard his candidacy. Are the Republicans of the Second Legislative district ready to do that ? It all goes to show that you cannot fool the Republicans of this county by raising false Issues. The Result Up the Valley. Last evening's primaries in the Fourth legislative district ended one of the hottest campaigns ever fought In Lackawanna county. Bogus cham pions of Senator Quay, regardless of party obligations to Judge Willard and equally unmindful of party precedent In this county, sought by devious means to defeat the Judge's personal selec tions for delegates to the state conven tion; and the returns show that they have been overwhelmingly defeated. It Is true that by a misuse of Senator Quay's name, they have rallied to their support many men who, had they known the true animus of this fight on Mr. Willard, would never have opposed Messrs. Thomas and Toung. For this deception the manipulators of that fight will doubtless In due time be held to account by the voters of the Fourth district. The main point now is that It has failed, and failed utterly. Today's convention In Dunmore, by electing Thomas and Toung, will have the honor of heading the list of triumphs In this county for decency and fair play. The result In the Fourth will be an emphatic Inspiration to the friends of Judge Willard In the Second district; and will doubtless aid materially In bringing to tonight's primaries a com plete quota of Republican voters de termined to rebuke the Quay pretend ers who, under cover of the senator's popularity, are striving to grind axes of their own. Our respects to Alderman-editor Jones, of Carbondale, and what does he thin:: now of trying to slde-traCk Judge Willard? Wants a Wild-Cat Bank Currency. We must confess to a sense of obli gation to the Democratic Wilkes-Barre Leader for having with unexDecfted frankness revealed the animus behind the Cleveland administration's recent war on bimetallism. That the purpose of this war was to promote a really sound currency we could never believe; and our suspicions are confirmed. The Leader at last boldly confesses that the Democratic free trade ilan' la to restore o vitality the old wild-cat state banks. Of course the Leader does not say "wild-cat" banks, but that what Its scheme would amount to. actual operation. "The operation of the (state bank ' tax) repealing act," It blandly says, "may be made dependent upon the regulations the states provide In fixing tine basis for the Issues of their banks. The states would RtoUy sub scribe to these conditions and as a re sult, the question of the sufficiency of the currency would be finally and safe ly solved." ). v In other words, the present federal system of uniform bank currency worth Us face value wherever circulated Is, under the Democratic plan, to be su perseded by a crasy-qullt system of dis jointed state bank issues, responsive to every fluctuation in the popular pulse and governed by no general law of uniformity. This Is he sop which the gold monometattlats offer to the sparse, ly settled cotton-growing states of the south. How will the north like it? Juggling with the name of Quay is evidently not quite so magical in its effects upon the populace of Lackawan na county as it was fondly expected to be. The Jugglers have clearly over reached themselves. The Issue Plainly Stated. Senator Quay's real friends are not those who urge him onward in a career of vengence fraught with dire possibil ities of party disaster. They are not the ones who make use of his worthily won but needlessly Jeoparded popular ity to promote Individual schemes of Intrigue or personal ambitions. His true friends are -men who, without axes to grind, stand today In a firm atti tude of opposition against these In vidious machinations of the roosters and heelers of Pennsylvania polltlcj. and warnlngly advise the senator to draw back from his unjustlflaible course before he shall ordain the sacrifice of himself, his friends and the best inter ests of the party at large. It is possible that Senator Quay may really regard 'himself an Injured man. It Is possible that he may construe the governor's Inflexible Insistence upon the plain mandate of the constitution, In the matter of reapportionment as in some way a blow at his own leadership. If this be true, It must be clear that the fault was the senator's own, and not the fault of the governor, who is as sailed. Against the earnest counsel of his sincere friends Senator Quay sought with Senator Penrose to Delamater Philadelphia. Then, after indorsing the governor's message, he suddenly veered aibout and fought against Its chief recommendation. And now, con trary to all the facts, he Is declaring the efforts of the state administration to protect itself to be what any man can see for himself that It is not, name ly a "campaign of assassination." Hence the error, In any fair view of the situation, Is one of the senator's own making. It Is an error directly akin to that which has twice turned the government of rock-ribbed, Republican Pennsylvania over to Democratic hands the needless, gratuitous and intoler able error of personal bosslsm pursued to a degree compelling self-respecting Republicans to declare their independ ence. The question before the. people of Lackawanna county is whether they will te deceived toy the senator's plea of injured Innocence; whether they will undo the work of last November, which culminated in the largest Republican plurality on record; whether they will practically evict the administration then selected and substitute In its place a government bossed toy such men as Senator Andrews, Senator Penrose and the thousand and one subsidiary howl ers and heelers who, under cover of alleged friendship for Senator Quay, mislead him Into Indefensible tactics and Invite disaster on the party at large. We do not believe that the Re publican voters jot this county will make the mistake of sanctioning any such exchange. No news in many years is fraught with greater Badness or orovocaUv n slncerer grief among all classes than Is tho Intelligence of the death, yeetenlnv afternoon, of Professor W. George roweii. Aftnough hope had Ions- since vanished in his unequal struggle for res toration to health, it to even yet difficult to appreciate the magnitude of the com munity's loss. Professor Powell was not only one of the moat brilliant young men in Northeastern Pennsylanla, but he was, In personal characteristics, as admirable and lovable as he was brill iant. The editor of this paper recog nizes In his death an affliction too keen for expression In words; and believes that the whole community will be unan imous in similar testimony. To the family thus bereft will be extended the most profound and earnest sympathy. WU1 ttie Republicans of Susquehan na county permit a handful of men to sell thait county's political birthright for a private mess of pottage? In oth er words, will they ratify last (Mon day's deal with Senator Quay? We learn from one of his Democratic organs, namely, the Philadelphia Times, that Senator Quay "can afford to be defeated." At the rate his Lacka wanna defeat Is costing him, if he can afford it he must be pretty rich. As bearing upon the question whether Mr. Cleveland would run again, It is Interesting to note that In 1884 he de clared for one term only. "Things ore different now." When M oomee down to that, Lacka wanna county will not be backward in the list of counties determined to see that Governor Hastings gets fair play. The more of "Jack" Robinson and W. H. Andrews Senator Quay Injects in this fight, the better he will suit the admltustratlon'e friends. Credit to All Coaoaraed. From the Wllkes-Barre Leader.

Defend the Adsalalatratio. ( Easton Free Prena: 'Th duty of Re publicans la this atate la to stand by the Republican administration. Nothing would please the Democratic party in Pennsylvania more than to see the party which elected General Iloatinga to the governorship by such an overwhelming majority, turn him down ere eljfht months of hla official term had passed. To this end the Democratic; press s strlvlnx, but it will rail utterly. Daniel H. Hastings has made a capital governor and hla over sight of legislation has been auch as to merit the. heartiest Indorsement of the press and the people, even though some of these papers and some of the people are now trying to belittle the governor. This latter would never do. Its accomplish ment, thanks to the good sense of the Re publican party, will never bo realised. The rank and Hie of the Itepubllcan party very clearly understand that there Is nothing In tho present controversy be tween some of the Republican leadcra in this state that merits the effort to alight the governor, and they will see to it that the atate administration Is not smirched." II II II Quay la Already Rentes. Harrlsburg Patriot: "Senator Quay re alises that he Is beaten. i!s proclamation that he will have a large majority of the delegates In his favor Is very properly characterised when leaned 'blurt.' lie doesn't believe any such yarn and none of his close frienilx believe It. Added to this, the declaration that he thinks a compromise' will be made by which his enemies will grant him exactly what ha Is contending for plainly shows that he Is suelng for peace. He Is ready to be coaxed. The truth Is that at this time Quay is badly beaten. Nothing can save him from utter rout on convention day but surrender on his part or weakness and blundering on the part of his oppo nents. All Mr. Quay s strategic resources. all his demands from friends In power, all his appeals to the corporations to which he has been so faithful will not save him from a most humiliating re pulse unless his enemies scare at their shadows ana run away." II II II Quay Also I'ngrntcful. Wllkes-llurra Record: "The Philadel phia Inquirer Is shedding many tears over the 'Ingratitude' of the men who have the courage to oppose Quay. Hut what about Quay's ingratitude to tho Re publicans of the state? They have mado him what he Is and he bus snown nis gratitude by trying to disrupt tho party In a mad chaso for absolute power. The sooner Mr. Quay realises that the crea ture cannot be greater than the creator the better it will be for him." The long distance 'phone, please. Z-s-s-llngl ling! Can I speak with the senator?
