Wllttard's Interests Paramount.
Tt Is by this time clear to the most
obtuse observer that the only way by
which Senator Quay can gala the mas
tery of nest month's state convention
Is through his admitted .skill as a
manipulator of political combinations.
As the case stands today, with the Is
sue squarely presented before the
masses of the party the Issue whether
the Hastings administration Is to be
punished for the honest performance
of Its duty and whether Senator pm
eron Is to be named as Pennsylvania's
next choice for president Senator
Quay Is unmistakably bjaUn. The
masses are not with 'him en such an
Issue. They believe too thoroughly in
fair play.
Lacking:, therefore, thMr potent in
dorsement, all that stanJs bct-vtvn the
junior senator and defeat Is hlj dex
terity at combining antagonistic politi
cal elements so as to tain the tempor
ary use of their united strength. If.
for Instance, the senator, pointing to
the fact that three of the six Republi
cs Judges of the new Superior court
live within 80 miles of each other, while
the extreme northwesternSection and
he lower Cumberland galley section
are entirely without repreen ration, can
link these two sections together In the
common hope of political recognition In
the convention, lie may bjy adding this
factor to bis normal strength defeat

another point. Id this contest; namely,
that unless Senator Quay shall have a
two-thirds majority In the convention.
In which case he could move to suspend
the rules, the only possible way in
which he can become state chairman
under the present rules will tie by se
curing the support of five of the eight
persons Including ' the six Superior
court Judges, the state treasurer and
he permanent chairman of the conven
tionwho will be empowered to name
the executive head of the state commit
tee. Mr. Quay has at present only two
Supporters among those potent eight
Messrs. Haywood, the probable candi
date tor state treasurer; and Judge
Wickbam. To win he will need throe
more supporters. Where will be get
fhsm? Can be get any of the men re
cently appointed by Governor Hast
ings? It la scarcely probable; certainly
It Is Blghly Improbable that ee could
win three of the six over to bis stand
ard. How, then, Is his point to be gained?
We can fiescelve no other way, assum
ing for the sake of the argument that
be win by some book or crook get a ma
jority In the convention, than by the
defeat of three of 0he present Superior
court Judges and the substitution of
three new ones, who will do as Quay
would want them to do. This would
clearly meant the defeat of Wlllard,
Whom the senator is today fighting In
(Ms connty;:and such a) defeat, however
It Is viewed from the standpoint of per
sonal feeling, would unquestionably be
a mark of humiliation for Lackawanna
county. Thus, as a matter of county
pride, to say fiotMng of the broad prin
ciples Involved, it becomes the para
mount duty of every Republican In the
two .districts la jths county which have
not yet spoken, to rot for the Wlllard
candidate for delegates, because they
are trusted personal friends of Judge
Wlllard, who will do what Is wisest to
b don l order that this proud Indus
trial center shall continue to have
proper representation on the bench of
tbt Superior court.

A Straightforward Plea for Justice.
It Is no exaggeration to say that the
anthracite coal trade is today face to
face with tho most momentoua crisis
Its history. At a time when other In
dustries are experiencing wtdtpread
and decided revival, and when general
commerce, after a season of depression,
is rapidly regaining lost ground, the
producers of this limited commodity,
for reasons beyond their own control,
are compelled to see their lavestments
fall to return a profit and to sell their
coal at an aotual loss or else, in simple
self-defense, to dciavvo of remunerative
employment thousands of men who can
111 afford to lose a day's wages. This
Is the exact situation : this time In a
r.'ctlon of Pennsylvania comprising
more than one-t.-nth of tho state's total
population and representing one of the
most valuable of th? state's natural re
sourre s.
How has this condition of altalrs b?en
brought about? Not to go back into
th? discussion of remote causes, which
could not now be changed because they
fenn ancient tialc history, it Is. In our
judgment, Btrlvtly within 1'ie limits of
truth to f.iy that the responsibility for
this tremendous menace to the welfare
ef tho 600,000 or 700.000 persons resident
In th anthracite coal fields now rests
directly upon the shoulders of the well
paid receivers of the bankrupt Reading
railroad company, who are permitted
by the courts to persist in an attitude
toward ths coal trade which effectually
blocks the way to a fair and whole
some understanding among the produc
ing companies. Ths receivers can do
this, first because the debt-burdened
and Interest-defaulting property in
their charge is clearly beyond the reach
of further Jors; and second, because for
some Inexplicable reason they appear
to hold that their duty as officers of the
public through Judicial appointment re
quires them to be the means of Inflict
ing upon that public losses Incalculably
more damaging than could be any losses
possible to a property so hoplessly in
solvent as Is the company they nomi
nally represent.
What would be the benefit, even to
the bankrupt Reading property, were
the three-scora or more Individual or
small company coal operators, who have
no railroad and no friendly court to
fall back upop,ato be crowded to the
wall, their many collier tea closed and
the thousands of men and boys who
now derive a scant livelihood in those
collieries deprived of even this slight
means of support? Though such a ca
lamitous result as this might not, tt Is
true, sensibly reduce the $30,00O-per-en
num salary which each of these for
tunate receivers obtains by the grace
of a. Philadelphia court, we are quite cer
tain that it would in no wise redound
to the profit of the Reading railroad's
abundant creditors, but would in real
Ity add simply ancJher to the many fac
tors now threatening the realization of
their hopes. The spoliation of the ter
ritory tributary to a railroad's main or
branch lines and the impoverishment
of possible patrons are usually regarded
as very undesirable methods of nour
ishing a railway property's revenues.
We desire to put this Important sub
ject before the people of Northeastern
Pennsylvania and of the state at large
In Its true light. The dilemma which
now confronts the honeet, fair-dealing
and debt-paying small producers of an
thracite fuel, by reason of the legally-
protected obstinacy of the fat-salaried
receivers of the moribund railroad is
one which may, if the present injustice
shall much longer receive the tolerance
of the courts, befall any honest indus
try in any part of the commonwealth.
There Is a principle) back of it which. If
Judicially raitlitsd, will mean nothing
less than that bankrupt incompetence
anil insolvent incapacity may, with the
sanction of the law, at any time work
the ruin of honest citizens, who pay their
debts, contribute honorably to the com
mercial stability of the community In
which they live, and have, it would
seem, tlhe moral right to be protected
against wantonly inflicted loss.
The trouble with most offers to com-
promtee Is that they give Quay the oys
ter and leave Hastings the shell.
Better Dump the Drift Wood.
The Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette,
which for upward of a score of years
has been Senator Quay's stanch friend
and defender, now gives him some ad
vice which Oie certainly ought to fol
low. "If Senator Quay Is wise," It says,
"he will as far as possible conduct bis
own fight and not Intrust hla political
Interests in this section to incompetents
who are unable to take care of them
selves. Few men could carry lalong
such dead weight as Senator Quay has
been burdened with for years and main
tain a standing In politics. It speaks
much for his ability that'toe has won so
many hard contest against odds of this
kind. If he bad had advisers of the
proper sort he need never have found
himself In his present political strait."
. The dead weight herein referred to we
assume is the sum which loads the
Quay cause down ku pur. own oounty
malcontents, with personal grudge to
grattf r, chronic place-hunter who
want to get In line for a chalice at ths
federal pie-counter) end broken-down
bosses and their frenchmen who hope,
by making a big sputter and stir osten
sibly to th senator's Interest, to get a
Mr trip on th source of political
power.' Suck m riff-raff following as
this Is enough to extingulah th politi
cal career of any but an extraordinary-
ly fitted and resourceful leader. It Is
only a question of time wba even such
a man, if indifferent to Its accumula
tion, will be submerged la spit of him
self. .
Senator Quay would do well to heed
the moral contained to hi Pittsburg
friend's advice. Let him unload th
Bill Andre wees, th Willing Leaches,
the Jo Scrantons, and th other blood
sucking barnacles Who fatten political
ly at the expense of his own vitality; let
hint get down once more among the
people and amidst the pure currents of
their dally thought and life, and we will
wager a pippin that he will aoon see a
marked revival In Quay stock in Penn
sylvania politic.
According to Quay, tt was a Sera nt on
and Connell fight In this county, with
Scranton subtracted. . ,
Curious Claims.
The Philadelphia Inquirer now dis
covers, by some peculiar process of Its
own, that th four state delegates who
have been selected In Lackawanna
county are "really for Quay;" and that
they will "vote for htm for state chair
roan." If this la true, why did Senator
Quay make a fight against their selec
tion, and why did he send money and
agents Into this county for the purpose
of defeating these four delegates who,
according to the Inquirer, were going to
vote for him, anyhow?
Under the terms of their Instructions
Messrs Thomas, Young, lUpple and
Wldmaytir are bound to vote at Harris-
burg as Judge Willard may desire.
They are his delegates, elected to con
sult his wishes and protect his Inter
est They may be for Quay for state
tttalrman; thoy may although we hope
not be for Ollkeson or they may be for
some entirely new man, such, for k
stance, as ex-Lieutenant Governor
Watres. It will all depend upon what
Judge Wlllard shall desire. But If the
Inquirer's exclusive Information had
any foundation to it, we wonder why
that able paper didn't explain the fight
that Quay made in this county on the
four delegates fhlsi organ now claims.
Is It the senator's habit to put up
fig'.vts against those from whom ha ex
pects political favors?
If Messrs. Finn and Morgan are for
Wlllard with a string to it, Messrs.
rhllirrB ami Athrtoa ore for him,
without the string.
Governor Hastings has at no time at
tempted to humllilate or degrade Sena
tor Quay. In the formation of his oabi
net and in appointments to olHce gener
ally tha governor has recognized the
senator and his frleinds very generous
ly. This cannot be denied. That the
governor also recognized Republicans
who were not Senator Quay s special
favorites is likewise true, and therein
the governor manifested his good sense
and his sound Republicanism. He Is
not a factionlst. Gemeral Hastings de
clined to be a mere figure head. He In
sisted upon the Independent exercise
of the functions of the office to which
the neorjle elected him. Hastings la a
big enough man to be governor and re
filled to act as any man's proxy. This
was the sum' and substance of his of
fending.
Had "Bill" Andrews and Senator Pen
rose net poisoned Senator Quay against
the Hastings administration, reappor
tionment would not have been defeated,
dhe break wJith David Martin would
have been patched up and Republican
harmony would have continued to pre
vail throughout the state. Are the Re
publicans of the First district anxious
to turn the government of Pennsylvania
over to Andrews and Penrose? If they
are, then let them vote for Messrs.
Finn and Morgan.
Senator Quay Informs a Pittsburg In
terviewer that the contest in Lacka
wanna waiS "purely a local fight be
tween tho Connell and Scranton fac
tions, in which the Connell forces won."
That being true, we are surprised that
Mr. Quay was not shrewd enough not
to Interfere. His contributions of aid
to the Scranton side of the fight can
hurdly be called good politics, under the
circumstances.
Senator Quay has repeatedly declared
that he does not propose to antagonize
the aoDolntees of Governor Hastings
for the Superior court Judgeships In the
state convention. Some of the sena
tor's lieutenants are less discreet and
declare that If Quay secures control of
the convention more than one of the
appointed judges will have to walk the
plank.
Nearly all the Democratic papers of
Pennsylvania are Quay organs just
now, Including Colonel (McClure's Phila
delphia Times and Commodore Singer
ley's Philadelphia Record. All of which
Is very funny, and ought to bring a
smile even to the face of Senator Quay.
. .
Doe any. one suppose that If Quay
could gain a point next month by sac
rificing Judge Wilkvrd, he would hesi
tate to do so ? Mr. Wizard's real friends
In the First and Third district will
safeguard his intereMs by electing del
egates who will be true to hlnx
At the fight's .beginning Senator Quay
took, much delight in chuckling at the
thought of how he would "make he
Republican of Pennsylvania- Une up."
We wonder if he still regards the align
ment as a fit subject for Jests.
Senator Cameron did not find It neces
sary to skip across the Atlantic Ocean
to keep out of the factional fight In the
Republican party, but, then, It isn't
quite certain that he Is altogether out
of It
Quay's wUlltagness to compromise Is
evidence that he begin to realise that
he is In the wrong. The man who Is
surely right does not spend bis days and
nights studying up compromises.

The report that Governor Hastings
contemplates snaking a personal tour
of doubtful counties In the Interests of
Ollkeson is probably untrue. But If he
should do so. In the defens of his own
administration, It would simply b fol
lowing Senator Quay's xumple.
How do tMe fair-play 'loving Republi

Scranton Republican, these days?
When voting to support Judge Wll

will stick?
COMMENT OP THE PRESS.
lias No Claim for Favors.
Wllkes-Barr Times: "Senator Quay, has
come and gone and no doubt after the
hearty assurances of many friends who
called upon him he Is satisfied with his
vltlt. But it must have been with mingled
feelings of doubt and chagrin that he
compared hla experience In. past cam
pniuns with those of the present. Here
tofore all he had to do was to sit in his
comfortable home at Beaver or in his
parlor at the Lochlel and receive the
homage and support of the faithful. Des
perate Indeed must he consider his chances
In the present campaign and humiliating
must it be to his pride, when he, a senator
of the United States from the great state
of Pennsylvania, is compelled to go about
the state In ths most uncomfortable
weather and personally solicit the sup
port of his former friends and henchmen.
Benator Quay's vllt has, however, so far
as we can discover, disclosed no particular
reason why he has any claim or title to
the support of Luzerne county as against
Governor Hastings. During all the period
In which he has been all powerful in the
councils of the Republican party both of
the state and of the nation, when he con.
trolled a vast amount of patronage, he
never, to our knowledge, bestowed a
single favor upon the faithful workers of
this county, either in the way of an ap
pointment or as aids to an election. There
Is Just one possible exception ; he has the
reputation of having aided lillly Hines In
his various campaigns, considering him
more useful for his purposes than any
Republican. Instead of conferring bene
fits upon Luzerne county he has done us
actual wrong. But for his support the
Quay county bill would never have passed.
Under the apportionment bills, which were
defeated at his command, Wllkes-Barre,
at the next general election, would send
two representatives to the legislature,
Instead of one as now, and the county
would elect two stata senators and eight
representatives Instead of one senator and
six representatives, as at present."
ii ii ii . ; ;
Ths Real Reason Why.
Philadelphia Press: "Why should Mr.
Quay seek to he chairman of the state
committee? With 200,000 majority even
bis most ardent admirer will hardly claim
that the state cannot be saved unless he
take the helm. He doesn't want the
place for the ordinary work of the chair
man. Amid all tho-doubt of 1890 he put
Andrews there. Even In the presidential
contest of 1892 he didn't take It. but put
General Reeder there. When Reeder te
tired he substituted Ollkeson. In the re
quirements of the chairmanship itself,
there Is no call for Quay, Why, then, does
he seek It? Why do we have the ex
traordinary spectacle, absolutely unpre
cedented, of a United States senator
struggling to overthrow the existing or
ganisation of his party In order that he
may take the drudgery of the chairman
ship when nothing can prevent an over
whelming majority? The mystery Is
solved in the facts we have given. This
contest is being waged, first, to punish
Governor Hastings and his administration
for their manhood and Independence, and,
second, to get the party machinery Into
hands that will make a national delegation
for Mr. Cameron as a free silver candi
date and then re-elect him to the senate."
II II II
Jlut II Didn't Glvo Heed.
Chris Magee's Pittsburg Times: "When
Senator Quay started upon his much her
alded trip Into the anthracite country,
which was to sweep Lackawanna and Lu
zerne like a fire in dry grass, we urged him
to take this opportunity, face to face with
the people, to hearken to the truth, rather
than to the 'fool friends' who fill his
head with the notion that the highest hon
ors of leadership in the Republican party
are not rich enougt for him, unless he can
be as a czar of Russia with all the Rus
Ian serfs, or to the venal gang which
stands always at his eer to tease him on
to any warfare in which he furnishes the
money and they hava the spending of It,
We urged him then to see the unwisdom
of waging war on men who have deserved
nothing but honor and support from Re
publicans Instead of assault and vllltflca
tlon; to see the hopelessness of trying to
turn the party organization Into either a
Cameron free silver plaything or an An.
drews speculation, and to bring peace to
the Republican party, as he can bring It,
by simply ceasing to make unprovoked
war."
II II II
No Room for Compromise.
PMtsburtg Chronicle-Telegraph t "Since
the Lackawanna primaries the talk of a
compromise between the Republican fac
tions hss been renewed, but with a change
of terms. It is very noticeable that all
the talk of compromise comes from one
side. Before the Lackawanna elections
it was suggested that a good compromise
would b to elect Hastings chairman of
the convention and Quay chairman of the
party organisation. Now the suggestion
Is that both Quay and Stat Chairman
Ollkeson should retire and a new man
should be elected. Such a compromise
could hardly save Senator Quay's pres
tlge and would leave the issue In doubt
Senator Quay's plight commands a great
deal of sympathy, but it must bo remem
bored that th fight Is of his own making.
When he went to Harrisburg to oppose bp
portlonment and arrange a coalition with
the Democrats against the state adminis
tration, he made an issue which forces
the party to declare Its Independence or
Is submit to his dictatorship."
II II II
Losing Sight of III Party,
Hyde Park Courier-Progress: "What.
by the way, would the Republicans of
Scranton esy to Mr. Quay if he attempted
to dictate who should be the Republican
oandidat for mayor In Scranton next
spring? That Is what Senator Quay want
ed to do In Philadelphia last January.
Because his demand was not granted
Benator Quay sees fit to put the gnat Re
publican, party 4n a trcntbl throughout
this state In order to perpetuate his polit
ical supremacy, hi absolute control, his
sole ownership of not only th atat nom
inations, but of th municipal nomina
tions of th Ug city of Philadelphia Btn
ator Quay la an able man and a distin
guished statesman, and ha don great
servlcs for th party which has honored
him and given him the opportunity to be
come great, but w bailer him to be losing
sight of th great party tnat placed him
in tn unttea states ssnat.-
II II II
Th Won of th Wblnars' Organ.
Wllkss-Barr Ntwi-Detler! "TheBcran
ton Republican is having an unusually
difficult tlm In explaining th overwhelm
ing defeat of th Quay fores In tk Sec
ond and Fourth legislative district of that
I county last wtsk. Th only; feaslbl way
of explaining It Is, simply, that th Quay
men war not so strong as the friends of
Hastings. The talk of machine methods
Is always used by those who were defeat
d. When Scranton used th same meth
od bis defeated oDDonents made th
am cry, but It didn't change th result.
Money had nothing to do wltn tn ngni,
or if any waa used It was entirely on th
side of th Quay adherents."
II II II
Som Psrtlasnt Questions.
PhlladelDhla Proas: "Senator Quay
claims In a Pittsburg paper that the dele
gates elected on Saturday in Lackawanna
will, of course, b for Governor Hsstlngs
for chairman of the convention, for Wll
lard for judge, and by the aame token for
Quay for chairman of the atate commit,
tea If this bs true why did the senator go
to Scranton? Why did he run Ms own
delegates, open and engage In a strenuous
struggle of 'his own seeking, and suffer a
complete and signal defeat? Wlllard's
delegates were sura to be for Hasting.
If they are also for Quay and If Quay is
for Hastings, why was any contest made?
If the same result could b accomplished
by supporting Wlllard's delegates, why
was so much ammunition wasted?
II II II
Tho Architect of Ills Own Troubles.
Wllkes-Barre Times: "It Is unfortunate
for Mr. Quay that he mnde the mistake of
asking hla friends, the Republicans of the
state of Pennsylvania, to become tools
for removing his personal chestnuts or
grudges and animosities from the tire. It
is not the corporations and the party ma
chinery that are going to defeat sir.
Quay, but the Intelligent voters who ob
ject to being led like bulls with rlnKS in
their noses. They admire Mr. Quays qual
ities and have been and may be again glad
to place him In the front as thlr leador
but he can never say to them, 'This place
Is mine. I own it.' "
II II II
Not Safo to Trust Them Too Far.
Altoona Guzutte: "It Is plain that If
the state convention Is ruled by the ad
ministration forces tho recent appointees
will be regularly nominated and placed
in a fair position to serve a full term.
But should the antl-administratlon forces
rule the roost the result will be quite dif
ferent. Indeed, there Is already manifest
a determination on the part of the Quuy
people to call primaries and new county
conventions In order that tho delegates
may be Instructed for judiciary candidates
other than the men named by tho gov
ernor." II II II
How th People Would Vote.
Lancaster Bxamlner: "The whole aim
of the contest is to defeat HastlnKS, dis
credit his administration, lessen his Inllu
ence. and thus maintain the supremacy of
the Quay machine with ell It Implies.
Honce the issue is between Quny and
Hastings. If these two men submitted
tholr claims to a popular vote In this
county there could bo no doubt about the
majority the governor would get."
II II II
Only a Caso of Sour Grapes.
Wllkes-Barre Record: "Uncle Joe Scran-
ton's paper consoles Itself with the re
mark that Quay doesn't need the Lacka
wanna delegates anyway. To judge from
tho desperate tight Uncle Joe's paper put
up for the Quay delegates, It looks very
much as If 'the old man' needed them
badly."
II II II
Gone,. but Not Forgotten.
Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer: "Uncle Joe
Scranton smelt the rat In time and wisely
left for Europe, but the news will no doubt
reach him there that The Tribune and
William Connell are the new forces that
will direct the politics of Lackawanna.
Hio Jacet, Joe Scranton, Tom Penman,
et. al."
II II II
It F.vldontly Suits tho Governrf
Philadelphia Press: "Lackawanna may
not suit all palates, but the Hastings
movement knows how to broil your quail
on toast most evenly and expeditiously."
II II II
That Seems to Bo tho Impression!
Wilkes-Barre News-Dealer: "Probably
Uncle Joo Scranton felt the storm coming:
hence his haste to cross the big pond."
