6CRANTON, JULY U, 1803.
The Republican party In Pennsylvania
ta wisely deriding, these days, that H
doesn't want to be Delamatered any
mora.
Ratfcar Serloai Charge.
We Warn with some surprise from the
esteemed Truth of this city that "the
Superior court, which was created for
the purpose of facilitating the adminis
tration of Justice, has already become a
tench In the mwtrlls of decent men by
the very Indecency of the use to which
It has been put to the besrirwilns of its
career." Our contemporary, being In
dependent In politics, obviously cannot
have any (actional or partisan motive
In endeavoring o discredit this new
court almost In advance of its CT2am4za
Utan. It must, therefore, havs to Its
possession information concerning the
court not fjeuerally known. T.'e as
sume a much ibecause the general pub
11a Is not aware of any "stench" or "in
decency" to -the premises.
What uses are thoss which. In our
contemporary's Judgment, savor of In
decency? The court hus not yet h?M a
public session. As a tribunal, whils
formally organised. It has as yet no real
existence, and will not have for some
weeks to some. Hence no charge can
be brought against the court collective
ly. - As o tt Individual memlbers, we
would toe pleased to b'rve the Truth
specify which onea are supplying the
"stench." But two of them, to our
knowledge, have In amy manner partici
pated In politic since their appoint
ment; and the eztot of their participa
tion lay m a natural. nd we venture to
assert, an entirely "proper desire to be
.reseated In the next state conven-
y friendly andr-creiitable dele-
orn'TnE event of efforts to
k sectional or factional revenue,
could be depended upon to stand up for
their home candidates and their homo
Interests.
Si kmg as the Judiciary of thl9 state

narty primaries and eoroventlons, we
I in eee no wron In the natural wlih
I Judicial candidates to be treated

flcntnton Truth made no complain't
the. 'Why should It make one now,
when the facts are closely parallel?
The Truth should recollect that the
aspeiskn of next to the highest trl
ttisml vi the state Is a matter of some

Into position of opposition may be a
friend neeolessly alienated, perhaps
forever. The sentiment of ttw people li
growing stronger every day In behalf
- of fair play In politics, and In objection
, to further dictation by Pennsylvania's
long-dominant one-man power.
Senator Quay baa no one but himself
to blame for AMs increasing volume of
popular .opposition. He has) wilfully
tmgned bis back on those who have tried,
In the sincerity of disinterested friend
ship, to counsel him to prudence and
wisdom. He bam deliberately chosen
the society and the advice of such no
torious party wreckers as "Dill" An
drew and Frank Willing Leach, ob
livious to the fact that by so doing he
has forfeited much of the confidence
. formerly . tnantfestsd by (be Party at
large in his sagacLty and shrewdness.
And the one result of further oon
tihuanos In thai fatuous effort at fae-
. tkttaU revenge will be Increased hu
miliation and augmented weakness be

The Junior senator, at tills writing,
la unmistakably beaten; and beaten, In
our Judgment, beyond the possibility
of - recovery, - He 'is beaten without
. counting the vote of Philadelphia.

standard by means of a spurious appeal
to rural prejudice. Every day strength
ens the administration throughout the
eommonweakh, and correspondingly
weakens the senator. If Mr. Quay to
wise he will not risk the consequences
of an utter rout on the floor of the con
vention, but will call h!s foolish war off
and treasure the possibilities that yet
remain.
Otherwlre. he may ride to a doom not
generally anticipated nor desired.
The allegations In a rittsburg Quay
organ that the state administration to
using money to buy delegates come
with peculiar charm from the element In
Pennsylvania politics which has become
notorious for its generous use of carfl
In politics. .The plaint of Senator Quay
on this score, while undoubtedly with
out foundatkvn. Is Interesting In that it
shows the senator's desperation, end
probably pivrasos an early abandon
ment of his obviously hopeless fight.
-
Take Him at His Word.
The request of Senator Quay that a
rpeclal poll of Allegheny county Repub
licans be taken to ascertain their pref
erence for state chairman Is nn unusual
one to make, considering that In every
county which has hold primaries since
the senator declared his present 111
advlsed war upon the administration
of Governor Hastings he has been beat
en by from two to three to one. anJ has
not succeeded In electing a slncrlo dele
gate, while the administration's frienaa
have elected sixteen.
Rut under proper conditions the sen
ator's request might well be granted.
Mr. Quay. In his letter to the chairman
of the Allegheny county Republican
committee. Intimates that the Issue now
agttat'nsr the state Is one of personal
comparison between himself and Mr.
Gilkeson: but be very well knows bet
ter. At any rate, the people do. They
know that It Is not In any sense a mat
ter of mere personal choice, but Instead
a vital publio principle. They realise
that Senator Quay stand In the atti
tude of having deliberately begun a
campaign of revenge upon the governor
for falling to sanction the senator's sud
den flop on the question of reapportion
ment: and that he has made this cam
paign a pretext for grasping after an
absolute mastery of the party machin
ery, in the Interests of Senator Cameron
and Messrs. Andrews, Penrose and
Frank Willing Leach. They perceive
with growing clearness as, In his des
peration, the senator lets mask after
mask fall from In front of his real pur
poses, that Ms success In this fight for
control of the party organization would
signify an era of personal dictation and
overbearing one-man power In excess
of all precedents and In utter disregard
of the party's own future welfare.
If the question at Issue were nothing
more than a choice between Senator
Quay and Chairman Gilkeson. the party
might well ask why the latter's posi
tion, In view of the satisfactory man
ner In which Its duties have hitherto
been performed, should be desired, in
a minor campaign, by a man who has
been regarded as worthy of far larger
and more Important executive party
trusts. Though, In such a case, it
would probably prefer Mr. Quay be
cause It knows more of him, It would
marvel much at his condescension,
which Is a practice to which he Is not
often given. But any thinking Repub
lican can by this time see that the
Issue ha9 gone way beyond personal
preference, and has ecome one vital
to the party's well-being. Such a Re
publican, whether he live In Allegheny
county or elsewhere, can appreciate
the need of fair play In state politics,
and would, In our Judgment, so vote at
a special primary were one called as
Mr. Quay requests.
Senator Quay's cause must be Indeed
hmpeiless when the auburn-locked and
hopeful Thomas V. Cooper cam figure
out a Quay plurality of only 42.
Those Jennings Case Charges.
It H to be hoped it hat Attorney I. H.
Rums will carry out his determination
to give Attorney Cornelius Smith a
chance to substantiate his standing
charges growing out of the now-celebrated
Jennings case. ' As Mr. Burns
io'jiis out, (the enltering of these charges
on tihe records of the Supreme, court
constitutes, If they are untrue, a gross
'injustice to the memory of Judge Con
nolly, ss well ae to the character of
men' yet alive.
In view of the forbearance of the
Tj&ckawamva Ttor association In this
moitter, it may be that Mr. Burns' sug
gestion of an action for libel offers the
only remaining method of putting, an
fn.d to Attorney Smith's intermittent
accuanitlone. It would at least bring
the subject to a definite issue, and ren
der possible an authoritative answer
to h question whether ithe obligations
of counsel to client Justify the period
ical aperslrn of 'the living, as well as
the malicious maligning of the dead.

' For a Short Campaign.
The proposition to shorten nextj year's
presidential campaign to not more than
two months, beginning not earlier than
the fore part of September, Is one which
will have the cordial support of oil
business men. It would be a distinct
sain for general business, which In
variably suffers during the excitement
and distracting Influences of a presi
dential canvass. It would also satisfy
the writers and speakers of campaign
literature, to whom the prospect of hav
ing to chew a set of facts or fictions
3ver ami over again, during five or sis
weary months, some of them In the
sliding mid-summer, Is anything but
Inviting.
There hi no good reason why (he busi
ness Interests of the country should not
be spared at least 50 per cent, of the
turmoil and disturbance common to our
quadrennial political contests,; .Every
material argument necessary to the for
mation of an Intelligent popular Ter
jlet can be advanced wMh better effect
In two montfrf campaign than In
campaign twice or thrice as tons;. A
mutual agreement between tha leaden
it the two chief parties to limit the
popular discussion to the oool months
cf September and October would satis
fy every partisan requirement and be a
welcome relief to a long-suffering public
Such an agreement ougnt o oe nraue;
and it can be made. If public sentiment
will Insist upon It
Tha Quay leaders are hypocritically
pretending that they are anxious for an
honorable compromise. Their proposi
tion im ta divide the honors by giving
Hastings the chairmanship of the state
convention and making Quay chairman
of the state committee. This is the
raricot thfv are essaying in Susque
hanna county, hoping to deceive and
delude the farmers by the shallow tncK.
R:ieh a compromise would be giving
Quay everything he asks. The chair
manship of the state committee is ino
only Issue In this contest. Give Quay
tho chairmanship oyster and he does
not care a continental who gets the
shell. .
The Harrlsburg correspondent of the
NnnlFtown Herald, who is a clerk In
tho state department, writes to his
per; "Everybody knows Cameron
and Quay are working together. Their
Interest political! and financially, are
one awl the snme, and lhave been in tne
past. Cameron stood by Quay when the
latter was In trouble: now the senior
senator expects a return when the Junior
senator Is uppermost. If you don t be
lieve the Oameronltes are for Quay ana
tlw Quayltts for Cameron, Just come to
Harrlsburg, Cameron's home. You will
see evidences on every hand." The
Cameron handicap Is tlwre to stay.
It is nn lntereptlng fact that Scran
ton wa never honored with the pres
ence of either of our United States
senators until one of them wanted
something of Lackawanna county and
came here to try to get It. After the
present cruel war Is over, we trust
thtfse twin worthies will evince a live
lier interest in their constituents.
In private talk, about the only reason
one now hears expressed why Quay may
win is tho alleged potency of Don Cam
eron's money. For our pant, we decline
to believe that in an Issue of vital prin
ciple the Republican manhood of Penn
sylvania can be bougiht by any "barl."
Secretary Wheelock. of the Wyoming
county Republlcan,commlttee, may pos
sibly discover that his refusal to sign
the credentlafls of Dekgate Northrop
because the latter (has a mind of his
own will not cause an abrupt suspension
of the movements of the spheres.
The half-dozen Susquehanna county
politicians who recently contracted with
Senator Quay to swing that county Into
his column, for a consideration, are
already finding it aharder Job than they
anticipated, and the fun len't half begun
jet.
Each ex-speaker of the English house
of commons receives an annual pension
of $25,000. But It Is almost worth that
sum to be so powerless a figure-head as
ha has to 'be when in active service as
speaker.
A man la known by the company he
keeps. Such constant hangers-on as
Leach and Andrews do not strengthen
Senator Quay's cause.
It will be observed that Senator Quay
doe&rt dny drawing on Cameron's
(bank account.
SENATOR QUAY ANSWERED.
Concerning Benator Quay's request
that the Republican rank and file in
Allegheny county be permitted to choose
by popular vote between his candidacy
and that of Mr. Gilkeson, the Pittsburg
Times of yesterday says: "The most
striking feature of Senator Quay's raid
on the state administration has been
his apparent confidence In his ability to
mislead the Republicans of the state
concerning the cause end the responsi
bility for the contest which he has pro
uia flntf tnnv m In proclaim
that men whose political fortunes he had
made were engaged in a conspiracy
against htm. After it became evident
that the conspiracy cry did not arouse
a wave of indignation It was droped,
va vamnnlt'n of assassination'
phrase was adopted. As this did not
turn, tha tide or sympainy irom uovern
i., iii.tinf. and as it had been made
clear to the thinking Republicans of
the state that tne interests oi uenawr
Cameron were united with those of &en-otn-
n.iov Ma next move was to write
a letter Intended to convey the Impres
sion that he was not In sympathy with
Cameron. The insincerity of this effort
was so apparent that its only erred
was to cause a laugh at Its author's
expense.
"Realizing the necessity for yet-kin-other
move, the senator on Monday de
termined to try ami create the Impres
sion that the state delegates elected
prior to June 1, who have declared their
Intention to vote for Governor Hastings
and Chairman Gilkeson, do not repre
sent Rtpubllcah sentiment. A letter to
Chalrmart Gripp, asking that primaries
be held In Allegheny county to deter
mine whether the Republicans favor
Quay or Ollkeson for chairman, fol
lowed. The exercise of such tactics as
these hardly earned for Senator Quay
'the matchless leader' title which his
admirers like) to use In referring to him
It has been so clear from the beginning
that his plan has been to pull the wool
over the eyes of the Republicans of the
state it bat it 'has become a matter of
wonder that he should persist In It.
"Nothing he can do or say can pre
vent these facts from standing out no
clearly ithnt they cannot be hidden, that
Senator Quay, with the aid of Demo
cratic -members of the legislature, de
feated the passage of apportionment
bills to which the party was pledged;
that because State Chairman Gilkeson
upheld the Governor In his demand
that party pledges should he redeemed
Senator Quay ordered that he be de
posed and that Benator Andrews be
mode state chairman; that when It
became evident that neither Andrews
nor any of Ma creatures could be elected
Senator Quay gave notice that he
wanted the place for himself, and would
'mention' the reasons for his candidacy
on the floor of the convention; that,
whenever reasons may be mentioned,
the real purpose of Senator Quay Is to
humiliate the governor, who bad respect
tor hla oath of office and ante-elect Ion
promisee; to punish ithe most successful
tote chairman the patty has ever had
because he was loyal to the administra
tion of which he M a member, and to
secure such control of the party organ
i cation as will enable him to further
the presidential ambitions of. Senator
Cameron, or, If these be etaelved, to
make smcott the way for another term
In the United States senate for Cam
eron. .
"This ta mil so well understood, and
the Repubttcaas of the northeast, the
southeast and the center of the state
who have voted since Senator Quay's
raid has begun, have expressed their
condemnation so emphatically that not
a single Quay delegate has been elected.
With this record it would seem that the
senator would not be seeking more pri
maries. And tt la safe to say he la not.
It la equally safe to say that hie request
for a test in Allegheny county will fall
as far short of Hs desired effect as his
other attempts to conceal the Issue."
COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Wanted to Owa a Governor.
Phlladephla Letter In the Pittsburg
Chronlcle-Telograph: "I would like to
know how It feels to own a governor."
Such was the remark credited to Senator
Quay just before Delamater'a nomination,
and it baa gone down In political history
as one of the Junior senator s worst
breaks. People who are well acquainted
with tho present contest In Pennsylvania
say that Quay's famous expression ex
plains the whole course of the fight. A
well known Philadelphia gentleman, who
has held some places of honor In the state.
In speaking on this subject said:. "Sena
tor Quay discovered that he could not
own Uovernor Hastings. He knew that he
would be recognised like any other lead
ing Republican, but this did not satisfy
the 'old man.' Re knew time was fleet
ing, that he was getting old, and that If
he wanted to own a governor he would
have to hurry up. Then he sent an emis
sary to the governor with such a demand
that If It was granted It meant that the
governor would really be owned by Quay,
Of course, the governor refused the de
mand, and Quay then started on his fight
of extermination. The Republican work
ers who hud gone along with Quay for
so long, decided that It was time to serve
notion on the 'old man' that he could not
use the Republican party to vent his per
sonal spite, and, as a result, the active
Republicans all over the stats have turned
against Quay and he Is defeatod. He Is
even worse defeated than even hla oppo
nents think he Is. This man Quuy was
defeated the day tha people In Lacka
wanna county voted for state delegates.
Senator Quay ehoso hla own battle ground.
He chose Lackawanna and his opponents
decided to fight him on the ground of his
own choosing. They fought, and the Quay
flag was hauled down. From that minute
Quay was defeated. He may try to 'Sven
gnlizo' these delegates, but It Is no uae.
All the junior senator noeds Is a few
more Lackawan!s and he will withdraw
from the fight."
II II II
Good Advice to Mr. Qnsy.
Philadelphia Bulletin: "The campaign
which the organs of Mr. Quay have made
for him as a candidate for state chair
man seems to be Inrgely based on the as
sumption that no Republican has a right
to differ from him. Their arguments and
their language are like those of the fol
lowers of a feudal chief. Absolute obed
ience to Mr. Quay as the head of the ma
chine and fountain of party power and
honors Is the principal theory on which all
their diatribes against his opponents rest.
Thus it is that their vocabulary has be
come prolific of such terms as Mngrates,'
'traitors,' 'corruptlonlsts' and 'assassins.'
Their campaign has been marked by viru
lence and abuse, which the Democratic
newspapers have been quick to take up
and Improve upon In mendacity and reck
lessness with a stock of their own choice
epithets, and all this for the sin that somo
Republicans dare to ask their fellow Re
publicans to see that fair play In the man
agement of the party Is accorded to them
and that Mr. Quay shall not be permitted
to enjoy the privileges of a dictatorship.
Borne of the Quay organs are talking of
'compromise.' Whether this Is In accord
with Mr. Quay's wishes Is not known. If
It is, he should first caution his support
ers to stop their senseless vllliflcatlon of
Governor Hastings and his friends. Mr.
Quay himself has been used fairly and de
cently In the discussion, and whether he
wants compromise or a fight to the end,
let him call off the mud-sllngers and
slang-whangers, who are working them
selves Into a ridiculous frenzy, and draw
ing on the lexicon of the alums for their
arguments."
II II II
Why Qnsy Is Opposed.
Pittsburg Times: "In a time of pro
found peace Benator Quay declared , war
without warning or cause upon the Repub
lican leaders of Philadelphia becauss they
had refused to abdicate In his favor the
privilege of home rule and accept at his
hands a nominee tor mayor, who would
have Invited defeat. The fact that their
action was Indorsed by an unparalleled
majority at the mayoralty election made
no difference In staying the warfare com
menced upon them by Benator Quay.
Again, suddenly and without warning, and
with the aid of Democratic legislators, he
Inaugurated successful war against Gov
ernor Hastings and a large majority of the
Republican members of the legislature
upon the apportionment question, Finally
he started out to replace the most suc
cessful state chairman the party has ev?r
had with the most unpopular and unsuc
cessful one, end, finding this Impossible,
he announced himself as a candidate In
place of Mr. Andrews, In order to assure
the latter the position and authority of
chairman. If not the name. It was not un
til he had made all these aggressive moves,
the last of which meant the humiliation
of Governor Hastings, If successful, that
the friends of the latter took up arms to
defend him and the party,"
II II II
The Troth About Lackawanna.
Philadelphia Press: "The logic of one of
our Democratic Quay contemporaries In
this city la that because tha Quay candi
dates for delegates In Lackawanna county
wore defeated, therefore the anti-Quay
delegates that were elected are Quay
delegates! Nothing has been more ridicu
lous among all the absurd things of the
war which Is being made on the adminis
tration than the attempt of the Democratic-Quay
organs to get some comfort
out of Senator Quay's total defeat In
Lackawanna county. The facts are simple
and Indisputable. Quay candidates for
dolegates were run In every district and
thousands of dollars In money were put
out In their behalf, and In every Instance
they were defeated. In at least one case
when Senator Quay's friends attempted
to Instruct the delegates by resolution It
was overwhelmingly voted down. If the
Lackawanna Republicans had wanted
their delegates to be for Mr. Quay un
doubtedly they would have elected the
candidates run In Mr. Quay's Interest.
Rut they didn't do that; they elected the
others."
fl II II
Ta Making a Great Mistake.
Hatteton Sentinel! "The fight for the
chairmanship Is a mistake on the part
of Quay, He claims that he made Gilke
son, but that ha nothing to do with the
question. Other men made Quay In poli
tic. What Quay has not told I why
should he want to be chairman In an oft
year? Why did he not tell Gilkeson who
had been acting a a Quay lieutenant at
Harrlsburg before Andrews announced
himself T Why did he not tall the people
that Andrews would not be the actual
chairman f The mistake that made two
Democratic governors and would have
made a Democratic mayor for Philadel
phia ehow that Quay la far from being In
fallible and in this case It seams to ua that
ha has made a mistake more eerlous than
that of Oelamatar m that if he is defeated
It means his final downfall."
II II II
The Prluelpie Involved.
Lancaster Examiner: "By virtue of his
position and popularity, and In considera
tion of the fact that the fight in question
la a direct one against , him, Governor
Hastings Is the natural leader In the op
position to the autooratlo rule of Senators
Quay and Cameron. There la ecaroeiy a
governor of note la the land who has not
done th same thing General Hastings Is
doing. Did not Governor McKlnley pre
Ida over the last Ohio ooavsatioa! To
say there Is 'no principle Involved Is all
moonshine. This I the Initial fight against
Benator Cameron's re-election. If Mr.
Quay should win this fight, stand at th
head of the party as chairman and thus
bo enabled to name in largo part the dele
gation to the next national convention
and the representatives In the legislature,
there would be aome hope for Senator
Cameron. To prevent thia is the 'princi
ple' Involved, and no cillsen should blind
his eyes to the fact."
II II II
I'nwUe Campaigning.
Harrlsburg correspondence In the Nor
rlstown Herald: "Tho managers of Sena
tor Quay's canvass are making one mis
take after another in putting up delegates
In the counties which have candldatea for
Judges of the Superior court, and are
meeting with defeat after defeat, as was
shown in Lackawanna county and will be
demonstrated In the Luzerne county pri
maries. These delegates now can vote for
whom thoy pleaso for state chairman,
whereas it the Quayites won they would
hava the rAniUdntpn nt thplr mi-rcv In tho
convention. It looks like a losing lame
all around, and, notwithstanding the cry Is
made that tho senator has tho people with
him, it has not been shown yet at the pri
mary elections."
II II It
Could Not Go with lllro, This Time.
Gaston Free Press: "Senator Quay had
170 warm supporters In the Northampton
county convention, but two-thirds of them
differed from him In the flht he Is now
waging. They simply look at It from a
different standpoint."
II II II
Bluffing IHiottn't Work.
Wllkes-Rarre News-Dealer: "The Quay
men are finding out that bluff doesn't cut
any figure In the light now on."
THE COST OF LIVING.
Prom tho Cleveland World.
Th present administration was given
control of tho government under a self
imposed pledge to reduce the cost of liv
ing. It Is only fair to say that It is the
only policy which Is successfully carried
out. It did n-duce the cost of living in
thousands of homes. It hnd hardly been
In power three months when manufac
tories were closing, railroad business fell
off, thousands of Industries employing
large numbers of men at high waves
either closed entirely or dismissed a largo
percentage of those already employed.
These persons without revenues had to
"reduce tho cost of living." Where they
had meat every day they wcro lucky to
get twice or even once a week. Those
v ho kept servants reduced the number,
cut their wages or dismissed them.
Economy was the order of tha day. It
was so marked that the garbage com
panies In some cities where they had con
tracts were unablo to make a profit on
account of tha leanness of the garbage
pall In which what could not be used by
the family was deposited. Mnny found
use for the scraps they had thrown away
or people poorer than themselves were
glad to get the refuse for food Instead of
Its going Into tho refining mill.
This was only one of tho many ways
that the "cost of living was reduced" by
the policy of the administration. It has
not yet been brought back to the old scale
of living and Is not likely to be until tho
policy which generated the former gener
ous habit is re-established. In two years
more the Republican party will return to
Its successful Idea of first providing the
living and then reducing the cost.
Somewhat Rattled.
From the Carbondale Herald.
The Leader undertook to tell the Scran
ton Tribune in an Ironical way thut but
one county officer was to be elected next
fall. The Tribune this morning says:
"The Carbondale Leader le respectfully
Informed that a county surveyor and a
coroner are to be elected next fall. The
Leader should study up on local politics."
The Leader might study up on a few other
things, too, without hurting itself any.
It hits no wider of tho mark on politics
than on many other subjeots.
