8CRANT0N, JULY 10, 1895.
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."
