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.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
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."

this, the declaration that he thinks a
