I - - - - - - - - - Most any other roam than Cameron, feeing how cordially unpopular he Is, would take the hint and resign. donf to Pot. ' There probably never was a more dar ing achem of political ambition formu lated In the milnd of man than wa to be embodied in Sen ator Quay's programme, should be win his preeent contest In thin tate. The itak.es for which he Is play Inf are almost beyond adequate com prehension. They are Infinitely supe rior to the paltry honor of being state chairman in an off year; they reach Into the very topmost circles of government and ooatemplat, through the nomlna f Ion of Cameron as president, virtually the exclusive ownership of the political patronage of the United States. Rich elieu ruling Europe behind the gay scenes of the French court or Warwick manipulating at will the royal marlon ettes whom It suited his purpose to place on the English throne was not a circumstance to the role which Matthew Stanley Quay had planned to enact at "Washington In the event of Donald Cameron's election as president. . The audacity of the plan Is all the more conspicuous In view of the fact (that Cameron, running on his own ac count, could not carrry half a dozen counties In his home state. Knowing this fact full well, and knowing also that without Quay's support he would within twenty-four hours, be deader. politically, than an Egyptian mummy, Cameron, in the event of his election to the presidency, would w everything to Quay's erpert manipulation and would be, to an extent not hitherto ex emplMUd, Quay's personal chattel. Tims the senator who five years ago, in his anxletr .to "know how It felt to own a governor," staked all on Delamater and lost. Is now playing a game in which the risks are multiplied a hundred-fold, and of which the object is the owner ship, not roe rely of a paltry governor. but of a president of the United States. The stress of circumstances has forced Quay to disclaim any such purpose: and possibly It now Is all he can do to save his own, regardless) of Cameron. But anyone who has bad aoosss to inside in- formaslon knows full well that the bit nrnH wr r wnirm uuar. in nm ifljnoui speech In the senate, denounced his former lieutenant, David Martin, after the break over Penrose in Philadelphia arose, not from any anxiety as to Pen rose nor front genuine toorror at "cor poration dollar-marks,' tn which we are " told Quay had for years transacted a thriving business. It we are to believe those who are in a position to know, It had its origin In the fact that the defection of Martin meant the exposure of tiia Cameron programme and possi bly its defeati meant a light all along the line at time when Quay's desire was for peace. In order that he might better accomplish his purposes quietly and by stealth. With all hands work ing together In fiarmony, the Cameron Job eras at best a desperate and dan gerous one but with once trusted as sistants giving the whole scheme away, the gssne might be Irretrievably ruined. Hence he virulence toward Martin; the tight ea reapportionment and the later warfare on the arovarnor. '.trot now tain grana air casiie oi ao Bctace political dominion is tumbling to pieces these days! ' It Is amusing to star the Quay or gans eoflrplatn that their "matchless leader," their "Incomparable politi cian," was so foolish as to be "caught napping. A leader who keeps In touch with the people need not fear stolen marchts. Haw f a Han Dhm. The Philadelphia Inquirer; hitherto bellicose, now sings this tune! "The Republican party of the state Is in danger. This Internecine strife must be stopped or the most serious results will follow. Let us have peace." This key note It plaintively elaborates to the extent of nearly a column, made up partly of Innuendo and partly of ap peal . The Inquirer's peace recipe contem plate that Senator Quay shall get the oyster while Governor Hastings shall receive only the shell. In other words, Quay is to be chosen state Chairman, so that he can work the machinery of the party to save Cameron and punish those who have stood up . for the ad ministration; and Hastings' la to be un opposed for permanent chairman of the convention. - . A Much better tails of compromise Is suggested by the Tunkhannook Re publican. It reoommends that Quay run for chairman of the convention, and let Gllkeson be re-elected state chairman. If Quays purpose Is tnerely to get an honorary offloe, why should he ot be as willmg to tags the convent ton mtlam ll'iMsa ttaitil t a at. atti a mm ss"s4SFiBBar www suswuiuv -hw iirwi m exacting and burdensome duties , of tats chairman r We do not bsUevt that Governor Hastings would Inter pose objection to such an arrangement; on the contrary, we dare say he would willingly retire tn Colonel Quays favor, and thus both sides would be pacified. What Is the matter with this peace programmer As a partial atonement for their party's attempted crab of the local Ju diciary, the Wilkes -Carre Leader in geniously advises Luserne Democrats to vots for Superior judge Rice, next fall. The advice Is excellent, but the Implied atonement is not sufficient. Nothing can Justify a vote, under the circumstances, for Air. iBfoLean, DclamaterUm. Easily the most infelicitous remark of the present campaign 4s the Plttston Qaielte'a assertion that "the Hastings contingent is in need of vindication for electing a Democratic governor in 1890. They should be very mum about 'Del omaterlsm.' " It would seem that about the last subject to which a Quay organ would wish to allude Is this same sub ject of "DelamaU'rism;" while as for vindication, the "Hastings people," who last November were about 200,000 In th majority, mid not look for one further back than the last-eleetkin. If we co.-rectly apprehend our con temporary's ;('nt In Its not overly-lmid allusion, it seeks to Imply that tlmxo Republicans who, five years ago, de clined to peimlt iMr. Quay and his clique of sub-bosses to ram Senator r-plamater down their throats, regard loss of lh- unmistakable sentiment of the party, ate In some manner open to c-nsurc. Kiorr. the Quay standpoint, they may be. In fact we have observed that whenever a free-born American refuses tc cringe to Quay or his lieu tenant, he immediately becomes a "traitor," an "lngrate," an "assassin" o- a "hog." ' No doubt, to the mind of Mr. Quay, the men whom he could not bulldoze in 1890 the men who went to tho polls like men, and while electing a fairly nominated candidate like Col onel Watrea, courageously declined to ratify the blistering Infamy of George Wallace Delamater's foisting upon the party ticket are reprobates. But Quay's opinion on this point is not the opinion of the party masses. Although the men who defeated Del amater Ave years ago were not all "Hastings people." we know of one Hastings man who, after unprecedent ed provocation to lukewarmness, in stead of sulking in his tent threw off his coat and stumped the state from center to circumference for the Meadvllle can dldate. That man is now governor of Pennsylvania, called to that high office by a popular voice which Quay, with all his audacity, did not dare ignore a second time. To be sure, "Delamater Ism," as the sequel proved, was in Ha ultimate effects beneficial; but it is not the kind of game that the Republican masses want repeated; and if we were conducting a Quay organ, we should studiously avoid any allusion to it. The general Improvement noted In the current trade reports Is no doubt Intensified iby the certainty of Republi can ytctory next year. Republicanism is a great trade tonlo. Hit 5ecretaryfhls of State. An interesting rumor emanates from St. Paul, Minn., to the effect that Sena tor Cushman K. Davis, while not re garding himself as a serious presiden tial probability before the next Repub lican national convention, would re ceive with pleasure from Mr. Cleve land's Republican successor an Invi tation to become secretary of state. The press dispatch from which this infor mation la gleaned immediately adds: Senator Davis' tastes and talents are in that direction and he would fill the place well. He is a stalwart American In his Ideas of foreign policy. There Isn't a particle of fear In his composi tion. He despises trimming, and is always ready with a frank opinion on' any publla question that comes up. He believes In upholding the Monroe doc trine. In the extension of the Influence and trade of the United States in the two Americas, in the acquisition of the Sandwich Islands, and generally in a bold and expansive foreign policy. He does not figure in the maneuvers or In trigues of national politics. He was not a good office seeker when Harrison was president. He is more a man of thought than a man of action, but he is capable, when stirred up, of doing bold and earnest things. If he were secre tary of state no foreign nation would tread on our Uncle Sam's coat talis." The choice of the next secretary of state will devolve upon a president not yet even nominated, hence it would be premature to speculate seriously on this subject. It Is not too early to remark, however, that the successor of Secre tary Olney will be expected to be a man of unquestioned patriotism, of great firmness of character, and one sufficiently versed In International law and In the game of statecraft to cope With the wily fellows who are constant ly endeavoring to get the better of your Uncle Samuel In diplomacy. Unless present signs deceive, the most Impor tant work to be done by the next ad ministration will be work that will fall upon the shoulders of the secretary of state. No commonplace man will be big enough for this position, No tern- porlser or time-server will do. The place requires the very best brain and the very cleanest charaoter that the nation can supply. In Importance, under a proper conception of Its duties, k Is not inferior to the presidency Itself. The ambition of Senator Davis to oc cupy this commanding cabinet office Is thoroughly commendable. From what the east knows him, we should Judge that he would come pretty close to filling the bill. He demonstrated, la the Debs insurrection, that he was a firm bellever'ln the majesty of the law and that he was not afraid to speak as duty prompted, whether It suited tho momentary temper of the time or not. This, of Itself, Is a strong recommenda tion, so far as it goes; and If Senator Davll has the further qualification of familiarity with diplomats laws and usages, which, by reason of his posi tion as senator, be could easily acquire, his candidacy for the portfolio of state would deserve careful consideration. Our own belief has been that K Gen eral Harrison it not re-elected next year he should be proffered the secre taryship of state. .. But It Is by no means dear chat be will et beooms president, instead. The patriotic refusal of the sisters of St Joseph to participate in a test viola tion of the religious ganb law, upon the ground that laws, whether good or bad. are to be obeyed by Uw-sbldlnc em sens so long as they remain on the statute book, Is a splendid object lesson in intelligent cltlsenship. It will do much to disarm fanaticism. Some persons object to having our principal streets littered over with the evidences of new building operations; but we are glad to note that these fas tidious ones ara few. Nothing ought to be objectionable that honestly points to a greater Scranton. APPEALING TO EKASON. From the Philadelphia Press. It behooves the plain, sensible, ear nest Republicans of Pennsylvania, who are more devoted to the party than to any faction, to take counsel together as to the present situation and what it Involves. We have to consider not merely this year, but next year and the year beyond. We have to study not merely. Individual wishes, but party wel fare and political safety. If we go back to early June we find no sign of contest over the coming state conven tion. There had been a rupture between Senator Quay and the Philadelphia po litical forces, but that was local. There was no indication that It would affect the contention. The action of that body was foreshadowed end accepted by common consent. The state treasurer hnd been slated; the Judges appointed by the governor wre to be nominated and the state organization was to be continued as it existed last yenr, with Mr. Gllkeson at its bend. It was ac ecitabU then and It was acceptablo now. This was uho outlook as all Re publicans understood It. There was no dltsent. So far as the state convention was concerned, there was no storm sig nal What, then, brought the change and force.! the contest? Not any struggle over the treasurer: not any conflict over the judges; Ibut simply and solely the sudden proclamation of a purpose to overthrow the iparty organization as made iby Republicans last year and de pose Mr. Ollke-on from the chairman snip. Had there Ibeen no fight opened on iMr. Gllkeson there would have 'been no contest over the convention. So much Is filaln 'to every Intelligent and reasoning Republican. Differences had developed, ibut not relating to the ac tion of 'the convention. The sudden shot at Gllkeson, like the fire on Sum' ter, was the signal of war. Why was It fired? What reaion was there ifor deposing him? Simply because he be' longed to the administration and sus tained Governor Hastings' effort for aip' portlonment. No other reason has ever been given. We have challenged the production of any other. We challenge It again. (Not another pretense of rea son can be named. Now -what was Governor Hasting to do? 'Bear in mind that the scheme was to throw Gllkeson overboard sole ly because he was member of the governor's cabinet and had loyally and honorably sustained the governor's state policy. In other word, the blow struck at him was aimed at the gover nor himself. It -was meant to punish and humiliate the chief through the representative. It was meant to cripple and enfeeble his administration for the remainder of its four years. Under such circumstances whait was the gov ernor to do but to stand by his own associate? We put the question In all candor and all reason to every man who has a spark of manhood In his own breast. Wouldn't the governor have been less than a man If he had cowed and failed to .stand up In self defense? Hadn't he a right to sustain his own cabinet officer? In sustaining him was he waging war against any body else? In upholding his assailed annulate was it he or the assailant that gave the provocation? The Questions osrry their own answers to every man wno s aapaoie or reasoning. Let us next look at the other side with the same spirit of fairness. If Gov ernor Hastings was acting In self-defence, as we have shown, what was Senator Quay's course? Was' he right In disturbing the party peace by start ing out to depose Gllkeson, first with Andrews and then with himself? This Is the fight, and didn't he begin It? Why does he want to put Gllkeson out and put himself In? What is the meaning of It? The honor of the state chair manship hi nothing to him. The drudg ery of It would be a burden which he would turn over to Andrews. There Is no need of his skill In the chairman ship so far as this state Is concerned. What then Is his object? Is it not aa plain as the- sun at noon-day that he seeks the chairmanship In order to re strict the state administration for its Independence of Judgment on appor tionment, and for the further purpose of getting the party machinery entire ly Into his own hands so as to control the national delegation and to aid the re-election of Senator Cameron? If there Is any other explanation what Is It? There are thousands of Republicans In litis state who are friendly to Senator Quay and who would support him In any reasonable measure. But they will halt when they are vailed (to Join In crucifying the state administration and in preparing the way for Mr. Cam ctuu re-eiwiion, iwr, yuay nas no right to asx mem to follow him In such work. It is not service for himself it is simply servility for the boned t of others who are obnoxious. He h) senator. He is secure In that position for fours, years. Let him be content that Republicans should accept him at senator within his legitimate sphere, and leave them free to support their state administration and elect another senator In place of Mr. Cameron. . COMMENT OF MB PUSS. The Wyoming Delegate. TunkhaiMtock Republican: "Sins ih present light In the Republican ranks was inaugurated every conceivable plan has been put In operation to either force the Wyoming county delegate to the state convention to resign or declare for Quay. One of the questions ralssd was as to the regularity of his election, which occurred In the convention held Jan, It ef this year. The claim was that he could not hold because sleeted so long before the meeting of the state convention. Now suppose we look back a few years and learn the custom of the Republican party, In this county, in order to more fully .un derstand the fairness of Quay's followers on this question. Away back la ISM the delegate to the state convention was elect ed on Oct, t; In MM, on Sept. m, m ijff and 1181 the delegates wsre elected the same year the state convention was held; in last, on Sept, Hi In ilea, i Aug. ft; m 1191. on Sept It; is list, on Ail, i in IM. on sept 11. Thus It will be seen that sut of ten delegates to the stats convention seven of thsm were elected the year before the sseetlng of that convention, and only three of them-ene of whom Is tna present delegate were elected the same year." II II I! ' Bight Ktad of Indsseadeace. Philadelphia Bulletin: "The primary and essential Issue before the party in the election of a chairman ef the stats com. mitte is whether Its organisation shall be manipulated by one man In accordance with the well-known methods of the Cam-eron-Quay dynasty, or whether there shall be something like equal participation in Us management by Republicans who have enough ability and character to be some thing more than snare dependents or ser vitors. This is by no means a new Issue, It Is an old. but oft suppressed on, This, however. Is the Brut time when It has been clearly set before the party. It Governor Hastings were the original a gressor. as the Quay adherents are so studious in trying to show, that fact will not lessen DODUlar respect for him or weaken his cause. In the sight of the Quay organs it seems to be a hlKh crime and misdemeanor; but In the sight of the plain people (t Is a refreshing evidence of the right kind of Independence wrthln the lines of the party."

Donald Camoron's present term in the United States senate shall bo his lust one. (6) That tho convention (n August ahull prounouce emphatically against free sliver or bogus bimetallism, If the will of the party on these questions Is to be eari'.od out, It can only bi by le tenting Senator Quuy for chairman of the state committee. " - ' II II II Can This lie True t Philadelphia Dispatch In the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph: "A story Is In circu lation that several months, ago Senator Quay wrote to a number of southern Re publicans with whom he. becume ac qualnted while he was national chairman, asking them to do what they could for Cameron for the presidency.
