Th liberal party In England, like the Quay phalanx la Lackawanna, ap pear to b suffering from a painful paucity of Totea. To Pint District Republicans. Tha XeptibUoana of the First Lesis latlre district are noted throughout this aectton a being" greet admirers of fair flay. This la not fulsome compli ment. It la Incontestable fact. In the main, they are men who have made Oielr own way In life, and therefore ap preciate the Justice of elvlng others a reasonable chance. In politics they Sibhor misrepresentation, and invite the utmost frankness and candor. It Is la this spirit that we propose to ask their Attention for a moment while we place before them the exact Issue upon which they will, next Thursday, pass Judgment. . Two months ago, we were ell Quay men in this county; that Is, we all ad mired the senator and took pleasure In aiding him. Then ccme Judge Wll lard's appointment from Governor Hastings, given absolutely without conditions. The ink had scarcely dried on the telegraphio message that faerald ' ed Mr. Wlllard's success when a traaefctrooa penv that had heretofore professed friendship, began, in the flcranton Republican, to stab at the newly-named Judge. In due time time this crafty pen, in the band of Joseph A. Bcranton, sounded the toe; in for a facttonal war, begun In the ostensible Interest of Mr. Quay, who had, in the meantime, come out In Indefensible earapabro to humiliate the state ad- ninlstraUoo, but really planned for Mr. resuscitation. ' and for the mharrasamemit and. a we believe, for the secret knlf lr.g of Judge Wlllard's candidacy. TJndr these cir cumstances, there was left to Judge - milliard's friends but one course, and . that was to defend themselves and him. This they have successfully done In two s. districts In the county, and this they ,.! district , . Bo far as the stifte Issue Is concerned .' '" Bl'vstta'f' Senator Quay was mls- dlded, anfa that bis truest friends are 89 would now save him from tUa 'Xm counsel. Brilliant and saga cious aL he Is, he to not proof against When 'Ms Judgment has erred. He Should be willing to let the governor hare fair piay, which Is all the latter He should drop Cameron, desist 1 his attempts to Interfere with the local governments of Philadelphia and Pittsburg and not again stand between ' tks people and a fair reapportionment Xa other words, he should be a leader, - not a boas; and then we will again all be "Qua' mea." When so true a friend of Senator " Quay as Is ex-Ueutenant Watres urge the Rspubllcaas of th county to elect the delegates preferred by Judge WI1 lard, it can be taken for granted that tat torn Scranton howlers and shouters Who ara Just 'now masquerading as . Quay oracles do not necessarily repre rat the senator real sentiments; and (bat ao mistake will be made by the Plrst district Republican, whether Quay or aatl-Quay, who shall rote, on Thursday, for the Wlllard candidate for dtlagates, Thomas Phillips and B. 8. Athar ton. .- . The name "Quay" was, until recently, a handy thing for ithe dleorganlzcrs to Juggle wlthv Mow It Is bereft of much oC Um Doteacy Cor mischief In this county. - CorractJnt; a Contemporary. Mr. Magee's Pittsburg organ con- . - tends with a good deal of spirit that ' Governor Hastings "Is not making this campaign for the empty honor of pre- . ' aiding over a state convention," but that ha "has been driven Into It by every consideration of decency and manhood In support of a member of his cabinet, of bis Immediate official fam ily, assailed as such;" and that "Hast Ings delegates mean Qllkeson support ers, for exoept for this, there Is no need I tor Hastings delegates." We do not view the matter In quite same light We know of no consld- 'ratloa at "decency and manhood" which' requires Governor Hastings to , advocate tha retention of Colonel Qllke son la tha state chairmanship after he ' has been choseato the peculiarly non- pcNtlcat offloe of hanking commission ar. Oa the contrary, wa know of sev eral eoaatderatlova of decency and taanhood which require that Mr, alike ' after getting the latter Job, with Its salary increased to hU) order, should not further embarrass the Hastings ad ; Matty-atlon, and lndlfeotly" the Repub lican party, by aoldmg on to the state ei-tfmansfcfp. Mo doubi the governor t M soma delicacy about informing C rt f the irproprtety of his ' l;-:iil Ti Utr shall not . .:a tie sedation himself, It will be in order before August 2S, to use more aggressive measures. - ' No, no, Mr. Magee; the tasue is not Quay vs. Gllkeson. It is misguided bosslsra against political and official self respect; and in this Issue Gllkeson figures only as an incident, and ai a not overly pleasant one at that The Philadelphia Inquirer an ex cellent newspaper that has done valiant service for Senator Quay, but It commits a tactical mistake when it tries to com ment upon affairs in this county of which it Is woefully Ignorant. Is There No Redress? It la becoming a serious question with thinking men In the 'ikinlhraplto coal trade whether there ought not to bo legal means of preventing a debt-ridden and 'bankrupt institution like the Reading railroad from pursuing Its obstinate, obstructive tactics until many honest but defenseless operators are brought face to face with business ruin. The position of the Reading re ceivers, who get $30,000 a year apiece whether the road defaults oa its bonds or not, Is literally that of the fabled dog la the 'manger. Having preferred an absurd demand for tonnage, the receiv ers not only refuse to meet the other In terests half way Interests which hitherto, by the way, have tried to deal fairly with the holilers of their securi ties and pny a dollar foir every dollar of their Indebtedness but they stand as a snarling and flnaujclally irresponsible bar to agreement among competitive companies. The New York Times hit the nail on tha head when It recently said: "The tltuatlon is a serious matter to 'Penn 6ylvaola, where the losses from the de moralization of the anthracite trade are beginning to bo seriously felt. The fatal mistake was made when the Heading rejected the proposal to arbi trate midtf by the Pennsylvania rail road. Th? co-operation of the Pennsyl vania cempany tn the anthracite trade la worth to the city of Philadelphia, the state of Pennsylvania, air.J the Reading security holders, much more than anything which could come from the pitiful 1 per cent, of the output which the Reading claims andi which arbitration might give. It Is an old saying that the man who won't split the difference on a horse trade is a rascal. In the present case Reading must compromise if a chau.ge is to be effected; and without some chango for the better, the coal situation may at any moment result In the stock market getting a bad blow;" yes, and In the closing down of dozens of collieries owned by reputable 'men who are clear ly entitled, as a matter of equity, to be protected from the injurious effects of a narrow-minded policy by the Read ing receiver, to whom debt and baink- ruptcy have become so familiar as no longer to carry terror wlt'h them. It looks to us as if the courts within whose jurisdiction this dangerous and dottru'ctive policy is being perpetuated owe it to the honest people of the an- thraciite region, who do business on the basis of paying their debts and not as defaulters hidden behind the skirts of a friendly court-of-law, to put a stop, either to the policy itself, or Ho the Inequitable receivership which first in stituted that policy and thus brought down widespread loss upod persons In no wise responsible for the Reading railroad's insolvency. The chances are thait it Joe ware home h!a paper would do considerably less squealing than It la now doing. Hi Is too experienced a campaigner to fall bock on the baby role. The Whiner in Politics. A queer creature Is the whiner; and particularly queer Is the political whin er. The political whiner Is the kind of man who, when victorious, swells out Into the proportions of a tyrannical and overbearing boss; who orders his fel low-citizens around as If they were merely so many personal servants; and who has first to be seen and boughtover before amy man near him dare aspire to publlo office. This Is the whiner when things go his way. Put when they don't go his way; when, after a fair and square family fight, he la roundly and soundly whipped and forced to take a dose of his own favorite medicine, then the real cowardice of the whiner comes to the surface, and he Is discovered In the baby-like attitude of crying over lost power. Then it Is he bids for sym pathy by bogus shouts of "fraud," boodle" and "Intimidation," and sheda great, glistening tears at the "prostitution of public authority to the purposes of factional warfare," where as had the aforesaid "prostitution" oc curred in tha whiner's Interests, It would have been "commendable vigil ance and wholesome official activity." It Is our observation that the manly rank and file of the republican party In this county do not take much stock In whlners of this kind; and particular ly In the kind of spanked-baby whining now Indulged in by the Scranton Re publican. Speaking of printing the mown, It Is a noteworthy fie that all the Quny organs got badly scooped on the anti- Quay result In Lackawanna. Discipline, Not Overthrow1, the Aim. Our esteemed Independent contem porary, the Truth, thinks It "is some what difficult to realize that all this ac tivity Is for the purpose of dethron ing from power one of tho greatest pol iticians this country has produced, in recent ' years, Matthew Stanley Quay, who, as chairman of the national Re publican committee, plucked victory from defeat during General Harrison's first candidacy for president." We do not wonder that there is diffi culty In realising such a thing, be cause, as a matter of fact, that Is not the purpose. No one, to our knowledge, desires to "dethrone" Senator Quay, In the sense of destroying his power. All that reputable Republicanism alms at in the present battle, Is the restor ation of Senator Quay to his 'proper place within the party, which 1 that of a leader. In touch with the; people, .and not an auteorat bllvkus to 1 their rights. v . . ' - In a contest as to (Which la the better and truer friend of Senator Q:iay, those who, Ilka The, Tribune, try, to keep him inside the traces of prudent and sagacious party generalship or those who, like the Truth, would urge him onward to flagrant affronts to the peo ple, we have no doubt that the decision of conservative Jurors would be In our favor. We admire Quay so much thnt we don't want to see him commit self destruction by becoming an Intolerant boss. ' " There ara signs that tha Quay coon Is getting ready to coma down. When the time shall come for the se lection of a capable and eligible suc cessor to tate Chairman Gllkeson, one who will be thoroughly acceptable to the party at large, and who will honor the position by an Impartial, fearless and effective discharge of Us onerous duties, the party will doubtless know where to find such a man. iHe will not be Senator Quay, who has too many irons of his own in the party Are; and he will not be Judge Gllkeson, who has another job that demands his undivid ed attention. Just who he will be we, of course, do not yet know; but if we were asked to make a guess at his identity, we would wink our left eye In the direction of Hon. Louis A. Watres. What Hho ISoraniton Baseball dub needs Is a new brandof luck. No Compromise Now. There are some things that cannot be compromised. One of these things Is party principle. The idea that the pres ent political contest In this state, which has stirred the commonwealth from center to circumference, setting brother against brother and friend against friend, has no basis of principle Justi fying such) a sweeping disruption of past harmony, obtained only while the real Issue was obscured. Now that that issue la clearly manifest, such, an idea becomes pivposterous. We have said and we take this occa sion to repeat with all the emphasis at our command that we have no war fare to make on Senator Quay when ever the latter shall be content to exer cise the proper functions of party lead ership; no desire to subject him to un deserved censure and above all no wish to drive him from politics, in which hi genius and skill have won such brilliant triumphs. There Is absolutely, so far as this paper Is concerned, no Inten tion of hounding Mr. Quay, for whom, as man and senator, we have the warm est esteem; and we are free to say that should such a disposition develop In any of the politicians who are at this moment opposing Senator Quay, wo would unhesitatingly condemn It, as being foreign to the present campaign and contrary to good politics and per sonal fairness. But with all this conceded. It yet clearly and Inevitably remains for the self-respecting Republicans of Pennsyl vania, rising above personal prefer ence and prejudices, to ordain that hereafter an admlnlstrtlon duly and cheerfully Installed by them, after one of the most glorious political triumph on record in this country, shall, within its proper scope and ephere, have fair Play. This Is the vital principle under lying the present virulent contest, and it does not admit of evasion or compro mise. The moment that Senator Quay shall recognize the error of his present misguided way and throw himself, In a spirit of contrition, on the mercy of the party he has so ably served, we stand ready to be among the first to greet him with the handclasp of com plete forgiveness. But not before. . Says the Soranton Remihli,,. to Judge Wlllard, if Hastings gets the convention, (he Is sure of a nnmiii but If Senator Quay gets the convention u is poss-'Dle he may discover too late that ihe has made a mistake." f hi a. mission by the Republican more than Justifies the course pursued by Judge wuiara s mends. The ReDublican ad mits itbit Wlllard's safety depends upon electing as delegates the men who are picugel to stand by htm in everv con tingency. The Republican's admission also amounts to a confession that the loud asseverations of loyalty to Wlllard made by Quay adherents were fraudu lent and not in good faith. If "Quay gets the convention," says the Republi can, Wlllard may be slaughtered. This warning comes In good season. Let the Republicans In the First and Third districts, who desire Lackawanna to have a representative on the Superior court bench, take heed. The way to secure Wlllard's nomination is to elect Wlllard men a delegates to the con vention. Announcement Is made that Senator Quay, regardless of the result of the present state battle inftends to organ ize a dynasty tn Pittsburg to compete with the dynasty of Chris. Magee. In such a warfare the atate-at-large Will be quite content to climb up a telegraph pole and look on. The appearance of John Morley in the English parliamentary campaign as, the unterrlfled champion of home rule adds a'splce of principle and fidelity to what would otherwise seem to be merely a colorless bid for spoils. John Morley may not win, but he will at any rate retain his manhood. The Philadelphia Press, like The Tribune, believes In prlnitlng election rulurns as thy are, not ns they ought to be. That is why the Press and The Tribune have the full confidence of ttfielr readers, who do not pay their money to be wantonly deceived. Philadelphia advices are to the effect that Senator Quay has, in private con versation, virtually conceded that un less some new contingency shall arise to freshen his hopes, he will be defeat ed by Aug. 28. It is doubtful If such a contingency will arise. . It is one thing to cell a county out, and quite another Ito deEver the goods. Certain Susquehanna county' Quay leaders may perceive tha point to this, later on. Advices from Luzerne all Indicate that the Republicans will send a solid Rice and Hastings delegation to the state convention from that county. The delegation will be beaded by ex-Attor ney General Palmer, of Wilkes-Bsrre, who will probably he selected to place the name of Judge Rice before the con vention. . The Republican, during the past few days, has been giving evidence that there is a new hand at its political bel lows. He knows how to do the blowing, having evidently taken lessons from the now absent Joaepfe; but would lbs lat ter have sanctioned the paper's present whining when licked T If he should see a chance of getting H, we do not think that President Cleve land's hostility to a third term would be Inappeasible. It would toe singular Indeed If the gun which brought Billy Craig down should fall to ruffle the feathers of the Honor able Herring. Cameron doesn't need to say much so long as It's his money that's doing Quay's work. COMMENT OF THE PJtESS. The Fight's Loeal Signtfieaaoe. Scranton Times: "This battle was for the future leadership of the Republican party In Lackawanna. It was precipitated by Joe Scranton, who saw hi power wan ing and made a characteristic move to re cover himself. The challenge was thrown out when, In the columns of the Repub lican, Mr. Scranton made a fierce attaoa upon Governor Hastings, and Indirectly upon Judge Wlllard. It was Ingeniously conceived, but the real target aimed at In that attack was William Connell and his frlondn. For some reason Governor Hastings, In making appointments, showed special favor to Mr. Connell, and thereby offended Mr. Scranton. The lat ter, aa everybody knows, never forgives a slight of that kind. But the vindictive congressman has sadly overreached him self In this instance. He expected to see the all-potent nam of Quay carry every thing before it like a whirlwind. The Lackawanna dalegatlon was to be cap tured for Quay. Connell' and his friends were to be utterly unhorsed, and Scranton was to be restored to all his former power as dictator of the party, dispenser of the party's favors, and executioner of all Republicans who refused to bow the knee before him. Alas, for Buranton, all them pretty schemes have miscarried. The bat tle has been fought; Quay himself was here to marshal his forces, cut out the plun of campaign, and supply the sinews of war. What are the resultsT Quay's forces are utterly routed, Joe Bcranton Is a hopelessly fallen boss, he has lost his hope of going to the national convention as a delegate; he cannot be renominated for congress next year, and William Con nell stands forth conspicuously as the ao knowlodged and accepted leader of the Re publican party of Lackawanna county, If not of northeastern Pennsylvania. Na tional and state leaders will hereafter come to William Connell as the potent Republican leader in northeastern Penn sylvania. He has fairly aohleved this distinction by winning the most notable victory ever scored in this section of the state. William Connell was the head and front, the heart end soul of the anti-Quay forces. He has shown himself a political general worthy of the name." II II II The Result In Lackawanna. Philadelphia Press "Tha election of delegates in the Second and Fourth dis tricts of Lackawanna is the first real trial of Btrength since the present contest In the state fully developed. In both dis tricts Governor Hastings and his adminis tration gain a complete! victory. This important success determines the attitude of Lackawanna county. It will send a solid delegation for the governor. The surrounding circumstances make the success the more significant. Lacka wanna was the first county to which Sen ator Quay hastened In his recent tour to organize and take personal cpmmand of his forces. Ho thoroughly appreciated the vital bearing of its voice upon the whole subsequent contest. Every energy and all the sinews of war were lavishly thrown Into the battle. The administra tion had the disadvantage of its being well understood In advance that In the Fourth district, where the primaries were first held, the Quay element was stronger than In any of the others, and It was cer tain to make a desperate struggle with the hope of gaining prestige of tha first success. It would not have been surpris ing if it had won. But tho friends of the administration elected the delegates by an unexpected majority, and followed with an easy and complete victory tn the Second district. This success foreshad ows the general result. Lackawanna will send a solid delegation for Hastings. There Is every prospect that Luzerne will do the same thing. These great counties of the interior will exercise a potential Influence. Others will follow. The con clusion cannot be In doubt." II II II What the Elections Show. Pittsburg Times; "Since Senator Quay began his raid on State Chairman Gllke son and the Hastings -administration, without provocation or warning until his doluge of personal appeals by letter and through a well organised and subsidized array of newspapers. Just three primary elections have been held In Pennsylvania- one in Clearfield county, a couple of weeks ago, and two on Friday and Satur day In the Fourth and Second districts of Lackawanna. In each of these, the only direct expression from the pec pie so far, manly Republican resentment of the at tempt to strike down faithful, capable and honorable Republican leadership In order to set up again the dictatorship which wrought disaster In 1890, has been doclared with overwhelming vigor. In each case the supporters of the adminis tration have swept the primaries. In no case have the candidates for whom money and misrepresentation have been lav ished In the name of Senator Quay been beaten less than three to one." II II II Congressman Dsltell's Views. . Interviewed In Philadelphia Saturday Congressman John DalsWI, of Pittsburg, said: "This contest Is simply the fight of Senator Cameron for his own political life and future supremacy. Mr. Cameron' return to the senate would be a publlo misfortune and It is very clearly under stood why sir. Quay should undertake to save him under the guise of doing some thing else. I have not given much atten tion to the western counties and how they may stand In this fight of the factions, but I honestly believe that Governor Hast ings has won his battle and that nothing remains to be done but to count the dele gates. Mr. Quay is a sharp, shrewd worker and may have some cards up his sleeve we know nothing about, but Magee takes nothing for granted and we feel that the Beaver senator Is beaten in hi own game." Nil II Ills Request Should Be Denied. Wllkes-Barre Record! "In a free gov ernment n man ought to have the power that has been possessed by Senator Quay In publlo affairs. No one wilt dtpy that his control of legislation In this state has been practically absolute for many years. Meritorious measures have been killed and vicious measures have been enacted whenever It pleased the ssnstor. - The last exercise of his despotlo power was wit nessed in the defeat of the apportionment bills. Defying the express mandates of the constitution and the recommendation of the executive, he was able, acainst law, justice ana reason, to deny to the several districts of the state the Just rep resentation to which, under the constitu tion, they were entitled. He now appeals to his friends to sustain this unlawful action, and to confirm and perpetuate hi enormous power. The good of the party and the retention of aelf-respect by Re, publicans demand that his request be denied. Let Republican, especially the young men of the party, assert their maa hood, and refuse to bear the marks of thralls and serf a Every one Is entitled to the exercise of honest Judgment, and th expression of honest opinion Without fear of punishment hy any self-constituted boa" J i . .1 r II II It llow Qasy's Organ Takes It. Philadelphia Inquirer: "Notwithstand ing all of the reports to the contrary, there has not been a single delegate In Lacka wanna county who has announced his In tention of voting against Quay. Tbey all unite In saying they are "for Wlllard and no one else." It Is significant that ex Lleuntenant Governor Watres, who Is a devoted friend of Quay, also occupies the same relation to Judge Wlllard. ' He says that the delegate will be tor the Judges, but that they are not committed to any one else. Any one that can make ah anti Quay victory out of this Is welcome to do so. The situation Is the some In Luzerne and several other counties. It Is sufficient to say that Mr. Quay is entirely satisfied with the outlook." II II II Philadelphia Ignorance. Colonel Aleck McClure's Times: "The week closed with Indications favorable to Quay's side In his battle for supremacy. The senator wins in the Lackawanna First district, which ha conceded to the opposition, and while the Second district Instructs for Judge Wlllard and Hast ings, the Instructions are also for Quay for state chairman all he claimed." II II II Should Confess Himself Linked. Wllkes-Barre Rocord: "Quay's defeat In Lackawanna Is but a foretaste of what awaits him In other portions of the Btato It he persists In carrying out this boot lesacontest. As the aggressor it 'Is his duty. If he cores anything for party unity, to abdicate his claim as absolute monarch of this state." II II II ' On the Right Sldo. Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer: "William Connell and his allies are too strong for the friends of Quay and Undo Joe Scran ton to cope with. One thing that gives them strong prestige with the thinking voters Is that they are on the side of right and fair play." II II II Thanks, Colonel Boyd, Thanks. . Wilkes Barre News - Dealer: "First blood for Hastings In Lackawnnna and we heartily send our congratulations to our esteemed contemporary, the Bcranton Tribune, for the gallunt services it ren dered tn bringing this about." II II II Will Be Truo to Itself. Wllkea-BnrrB nrnni: "Whnn lh vntea are counted In the state convention It will be round that the Republican party of Pennsylvania will be for Ui Kopubllcan parly, and not for any one of its alleged bosses."
