It Lb well to keep In mind the fact that
the Republican party will not be a paT
y to the doctoring of roll call or the
theft of omJvirtiaJs.
Quay's Confession of Defeat.
The managers of 'th flffht to over
throw popular government tn Pennsyl
vania anl to aubotltute om?-man power
are overplaying the same. Upon the
surface It wouM appear to observers
unacquainted with the arts of poll-tiles
tha ithvy have acquired the lead: but
,if.9 Impression peed!ly vanish:. te
.fcre the cfcvtous desperation of thMr
'tactics, -a desperation clearly born of
rear and not Inspired by the confidence
of real strength.
On the day following ithe primaries in
Philadelphia, wherein Senator Quay
won, at tha outside, only fifteen dele
Kdtto, Walter Lyon, nominee of the Re
publican sU'te convention of ISM for
li.mtei.uni Knvernlr, Amu H. "Mylin
the noniirae of that convention,
for auditor general, Theodore L. Flood,
permanent chairman of thait oonventloo
and Jaimed W. Latita, t nominee for
sewvUry of Internal affairs, united In
si'ikllng- to Hon. B. F. Ollkeson, chair
man of the Republican state committee,
a ktter of which this l the essential
part:
"The indications being- that there will be
-onteiits In the Republican state conven
ton. to be held on the ath Inst., for seats
a the convention, and at you are a candi
date for chairman ot the state committee,
we submit that 1t would be Indelicate and
improper for you to make up the roll of
delegates, and thut yourself decide the
contests In which you are Interested: and
we believe that a meeting of the state
commXtee should be held to act In this
matter. As no meeting of the state com
mittee has been held since its appointment
on May 23. ISM. we suggest that a meet
ing prior to the expiration of the time tor
which It was appointed would be alto
gether lit and proper. We therefore, be
ing a majority of the persons designated
under rule one of the Republican party,
adopted by tha state convention on May
23, ISM, who selected you as chairman,
respectfully request you to Issue a call for
a meeting of the state committee, to be
held In the city of Harrisburg on Aug. 2b.
1896. A prompt reply la earnestly desired.
We contend that an analysis of this
etter, In Ithe light of certain other
facta, will convince any fair-minded
man that Senator Quay in real truth,
regards himself as beaten. Saying
nothing of the self-stultlflcatlon of the
men who, having made Mr. Ollkeson
'chairman, now announce in effect, thait
their creation is unfit to exercise the
customary' duties" of hltf office; we de
sire to call attention, first, to the fact
that outside of Philadelphia there are
only three contests as to delegates
one In Elk and two 1n Schuylkill and
secondly to the signed assertion of
Senator Quay, made In a telegram to
the editor of the Truth, of this cMy,
that he had a majority of the conven
tion without needing a vote in Phila
delphia. Now, if he has a majority re
gardless -of Philadelphia and hi eon
ceded 14 or 13 votes In Philadelphia,
Why should he or his friends worry
over the making up of the conversion
roll call? They could lose the three
contests In the state-at-Iarge and still,
with their '14 or 13 superfluous Phila
delphia delegates, remain away ahead
next Wednesday.
Does any man suppose that if the
Quay side had as many pledged dele
gates as the senator repeatedly says
he has, or anywhere near as many,
four of the men who last year picked
Mr. Ollkeson out from among a score,
or more of eminent Republicans as the
man best fitted to direct the party or
ganization, and who, when as a result
of that direction the party last Novem
ber rolled up the largest plurality in
its history, personally complimented
htm In terms- of extravagant praise,
would today strive to blacken their
rfwn handiwork by reflecting upon
Chairman Ollkeson' honesty to no
needful purpose of their own? The
very Idea is palpably absurd; so absurd
as at onoe to give aubstance to the
suspicion that the objective point in
this unprecedented action is the forci
ble prostitution of the machinery of
the party to a contemplated revolution
of the party's -will. - .
Quay, seeing that he Is beaten, sim
ply proposes to steal a Victory. But
we suspect that the manhood of the
party will have a word to say about
that. ' '
Any query as to tha course of the
Scranton Republican . Is regarded as
"Impertinent" by that organ. It seams
to ttithk It Is still the mouthpiece of a
political Great I Am. '
. A Word to a False Prophet.
The Philadelphia Times evidently re-
rards Its readers as rooking to common
eense or else it indulges in irony when
It says: ."Upon more careful reflection
we are incline a to tne opinion tcai ine

The readers ot the Times have been
told by the Times that the seven dele

port to Governor mstings anu nw ad
ministration until tiwe laat lamp burn
out. Why. then, should the Times Insult
their Intelligence and Impugn the hon
esty of these delegate by such arrant
bombast as that Just quoted?
We are aware ot the fact that our
nkii.oiniiiK contemporary Is notor
iously untrustworthy in Its political pre
dictions; yet duly allowing ror its nat
ural proneness to err, we still cannot
see how It can expect Its readers
to believe that Senator Quay
win have more than a minority in
next Wednesday's convention. They
have eyes to see, and .pencils to figure.
"Boodle and Intimidation!" shrieks
the hypocritical old Quay organ, nearly
a month after Its local walloping; and
next Thursday It will bo In luck If It
can find breath to whine even that.
Justice Strong.
The recent deaith of this eminent
Jurist has let loose a flood of newspa
Der reminiscences, In which the circum
stances of his appointment o the
bench have been variously set form.
Ono of the fairest statements of the
facts that we have een is made by
the Chicago Times-Herald, which says:
There was considerable scandal cur
rent when iMr. Strong was appointed.
to tho supreme bench, and, like all suon
.ib- n-ithni snv foundation. He
and Joseph P. Bradley were appointed
to the bench at the same time by presi
dent Grant, their names being sent to
the senate together without specifying
lr which particular vacancy each was
Intended. At that time the court had
already decided the legal tender cases
adversely to the government, but other
eases Involving 'the aame point were
pending.
"When these appointments were
made a great outcry was raised that
t,he President was packing the court in
he Interests of those who desired to
see the legal tender law sustained.
An unlmpassioned examination of the
facts and circumstances will show that
this charge cannot 'be sustained, but the
fact that both Bradley and Strong sus
tained the legal tender law when the
ouestion came tip a second time for
hearing, and thus reversed the former
decision of the court, gave popular
foundation for the charge.
"In the final decision of the legal
tender cases Justice Strong delivered
the opinion of the majority of the court.
Justice Strong was a great lawyer and
a great Judge. He retired from the
bench at the age of 72, when he was
still in the maturity of his powers. He
was a man of profound learning, ot ripe
wisdom, of rigid Impartiality and ab
solute Independence. His opinions de
livered from the bench exhibit great
power of etatement, as well as being
analytical and logical In the marshal
ing of authorities. He was a member
of the great electoral commission that
decided the presidency In favor of
Hayes, and 'he sustained -his views on
the Questions raised before 'that tri
bunal with Immense logical force. He
was a great American, end his name
is deserving of honor."
The point Is opportunely made by the
Philadelphia Bulletin In connection
with lu advocacy of short presidential
campaigns that the .recent contests in
which the people of Great Britain and
Ireland transferred ithtiir government
from the Liiberata to the Conservative's
'Vted not occupy more than three weeks;
there, as here, the people are largely
prepared, througih the continuous dla-
cuaijoiw ami agitation n the pre ror
months, and even a year or two ahead
of the actual opening of the contest, to
pans jiromf-lt. Judgment on public men
and pai r.y piCnxtiples, and no one who Is
familiar with ith'e modern facilities for
cnnductiing a oawsno and talcing tho
sense of th country con doubt that a
prudential campaign tn the ' United
E'UJics couM be as tntellfgently omd
promi.it.ly dwlded as the election of a
British parliament."
" As Viewed from Outside.
It is well sometimes to listen to what
one's neighbors say about one. After
quoting ex-Senator Thomas C. Piatt's
characterization of Matthew Stanley
Quay as a "mighty slick coon," the
New York CommerclaPAdvertlser, a
Republican paper not unfriendly to
Mr. Quay, adds, under the mistaken
Impression that he has won his fight
In this state:
"The Pennsylvania senator, having
routed his enemies, Is now, the undis
puted master of 'Pennsylvania state
politics. Quay's victory Is of more
than state Importance. It means the
death of Governor Hastings politically
and the certainty that the Pennsylva
nia delegation to the national conven
tion will be against Benjamin Harri
son to man. Quay Is In a most envi
able position. He can now make all
the deals and dickers he may care to
for patronage. The people of Pennsyl
vania are under his thumb. He Is In
deed a 'mighty slick, coon. "
This unconsciously reveals one or
two things that Senator Quay prob
ably would not care to have disclosed
Just yet. One Is that, If successful, he
will use the party machinery to kill off
every man. Including) the governor,
who has dared to exercise the constitu
tional prerogative ot differing political
ly from the senator. The other Is that
part of. Quay's programme is to keep a
knife up his sleeve for ell friends and
admirers of the. Indiana ex-presldent,
of whom, by the way, there are several
hundred thousand tn Pennsylvania.
In view of the fact that General Har
rison has given no sign of a desire to
be renominated ntfxt year, It would
obviously be unfair to him to introduce
his name Into the present state ftght.
But we may without breach of pro
priety hasard the opinion that if he
should deolde to permit the use of hie
name before the next national oonven
tion, General Harrison would not need
to, fear that Senator Quay or any other
man could prevent a fair expression of
party sentiment. The faot that men
like .Quay are embittered against Aim,
because ot tola refusal, lust as Gover
nor Hastings has refused, tw oe bullied
Into sacrificing his conscience to boss
Ism'e arrogant dictation. Is one of the
potent reasons why many persons are
already predicting General Harrison's
renomlnatlon.
Under our glorious free Institutions
It atanda wlthm the privilege of the
Philadelphia organs of Senator Quay to
make as loud claims as they see fit
But It's another thing to back them up
with delegates.
The Disappearing Middleman.
A convention of representatives of
leading mecantUe 'houses tn Ohio, In
diana and Michigan was held at Mans
field recently for the purpose of organ
ising a mutual purchasing syndicate,
the object being to purchase large quan
tities direct from the producers and
thus save for themselves Che profits of
the eastern Jobber. The organization
will be known as the National Whole
sale Buyers' association. A regular
corps of executive officers was selected
and arrangements are being made for
an early Incorporation.
The foregoing 4s the substance of a
dispatch noticed In a western paper. It
suggests a line of co-operation wholly
outside the scope of the various anti
trust laws and yet to all appearances
desirable to alt concerned, If we except
the Jobber, or middleman. Indeed, It
ceem9 to be well within the limits, of
probability that an early feature of fu
ture commercial operations In almost
all branches of trade will foe the grad
ual disappearance of tha middleman.
Whll tn times past be undoubtedly
served a useful purpose, the general
complaint, preferred' at either end, that
he absorbs the bulk of the proats with
out shairing the risks, added to the
largely Increased modern facilities for
the rapid distribution of goods from
factories directly among the local
wholesalers and retailers, renders it
morally certain that he will frave to go.
What effect his disappearance will
have upon consumers Is problematical,
but for a time at least It ought to have
the effect cf cheapening prices. Ati ait
Illustration of this may be cited In the
case of the sewing machine, now cost
ing less tha.n half Its former cost, and
mainly because competition Jiaa led1 to
the sale of many machines at first
hand from the plaoe of manufacture. It
will no doubt be the same way with bi
cycles, and K already Is largely true
of books, clothing end a great many
other articles of common use. Of
course, all this te rough on the middle
man; but at the sarnie time. It's the life
of trade.
Some of the middlemen In the coal
trade will do well to study the signs of
the times.
In Saturday's Tribune will appear a
striking and timely contribution to the
discussion of .municipal reforms, in the
guise of an Interview with Hon. John
Stewart, president Judge of the iFrank
lln county courts. Judge Stewart, in
this Interview, recalls attention to his
mnch-diacufwd plan for the purlflea'
tlon and popularization of the party
primaries, and re-lrrfo:ces his original
contention wMh new and striking argu
nucts. The article If well worthy of
attentive perusal by every man Inter
ested 1n clean politics.
A feature of Saturday's Tribune that
will be read with Interest comprises a
caireful review of the bridge question by
Select Councilman John E. Roche, who
has thoroughly Investigated the subjeot
in all tta aspects.
As we expected, the morning Quay
organ flatly refuses to pledge Itself to
toe the mark without whining In case
Quay Is licked. Why, It Isn't yet over
the spanking It got three .weeks ago!
Bearing In mind that the Philadel
phia Times claims a Quay majority of
eighty, we feel doubly safe tn re-assert
ing that Senator Quay Is beaten.
COMMENT OF THE PBESS.
Are Ready for the Test.
Phlladeluhla Press: "The result In Phil
adelphia establishes the Hastings major
ity In the state convention. Ten days ago
the Hast nss leaders counted up UK) uele
gates on their side, without including le
high, whoRe election Is not yet held. That
table estimated 60 from Philadelphia. The
only variation since It was made Is the
change from CO to 58 In this Mty. If I,e
high should sustain the administration the
Hit uren would be restored to luu: If not,
they would remain at 100. leaving 133 for
the opposition. It Is true that Mr. Quay's
friends profess also to have an assured
majority in the convention.- Both sides
are claiming the same men to the number
of 15 or 211. But when the Hastings lead
ers say that they have 1IXI pledged, with
the prospect of others, they feel sure of
their ground. The friends of Governor
Hastings are ready for the test.
Rollcs on Fake Contests.
Philadelphia Press: "If Senator Quay
had the number of delegates In the Interior
of the state which he and his friends have
been boasting they would not havo held
bottlnK conventions In the First and Fifth
districts of this city. The Quay people did
not carry either of these districts, arid any
attempted contest In them is so prepooter
ous as to be a confession before the whole
state that Mr. Quay has not the. dele.
gates he claims and not enough to
win. The fact Is that on Mr. Quay's own
ngures he had to nave twiee as many dele
gates from this city as ne got to give him
a majority or the convention. As the oeo
pie refused to e'.wt nil the dolepatos he
neeneci it is propnseo i0 satire tnem r.y

All this was Dianned n advance of Tucr-
day nlghtls primaries, but it cannot be
made to succeeu.
Doesn't Hani Down Its Flag.
Wilkes-Rarre ' Record: "The Record
went Into this fight for Hastings and
Qilkeson because It believed that the men
elected by the people should govern this
state, and not a party hots, who never
came directly before the people in his
life. We held from the beginning, and
hold now, that no outside Influence should
come between the voters of this state and
the regularly elected officials, and that
any man who endeavored to make the gov
ernor or any other official subservient to
tils personal will deserved to be renudlated.
We fought on that line to the best of our
anility, and we shall continue to tight on
that line until the Inst vote If polled In the
state convention, we ao not asg tor quar
ter." ' .
It Is Magnlfleent Victory.
ILancaater Examiner: "Governor Hast
Inge has made a gallant light against the
most acute political marager In the state
a man ofvatt desperation and resources:
one who will doubtless be to the forefront
In national politics in next year's cam
paign and who carries about- him the
promise sad potency of coming federal
spoils. This, backed by railway and other
corporate influence, has made him strong.
To beat him by even a small majority Is
a victory larger and more significant than

FOR CHRISTIAN POLITICS.
From tha Times-Herald.
Mayor Swift's recent statement, that
"there ought to be no need or a Civic Fed
eration in Chicago; the city ought to be
kit own civic federation, ' empnaaises ine
needj of a line of work being done by an
other organisation, the National Cltlaen-
snip League, wleh bad its linn in uni
cago, and which has become national In
Its organisation and Influence. The exist
ence ot the Civic Federation, the pretence
of Its men and wagons upon our streets,
may be tn some reaperts a reflection upon
official municipal methods, but it it also
an honor to the private cltlaen whom) ef
forts and gifts have made the federation's
work what it Is. It oucht to be unneces
sary for private citlsent to clean our
streets and enforce our laws. The fact
that It Is necessary shows a very low state
of clvlq patriotism. It reveals tho fact
inn ine c;i.senMnip ok vniraaw i l-ui-cisb
aa to the importance of electing honest
men to office, and that booillers and ring
stars have readily commanded the suit
port of reputable cltlseiis. simply becauso
they, Dy nooK or crook, secured ine nomi
nation on their party ticket.
Our el t lions have toasted their thins at
home or t the club, while the gang has
run the' caucus and primaries. This has
been true In both the lending parties.
Vt hat is true of Chlcaito is largely true of
the whole country, for the same causes
produce like effects In our legislatures,
congress and the senate. The reproof for
these things should not be luld alone at the
door of the corrupt politician or boodler.
He is greutly In the minority, n neaut
were counted, and buys the public virtue
simply because It Is for sale cheap, or
steals It because tho public Is too luzy to
prevent It. The blame rests clearly and
unmistakably upon the so-called better
clnssof citisens, who claim a high rexpect
ability, but whoee apathy In publio affairs
Is a leading cause or puiillc corruption.
Particularly la this true of the Christian
men of this city and nation whose stand
ard of profession is so high that It should
be ImpoHS'hlo thnt their cittxenshlp be
either careless or corrupt.
The National Christian Cltltenshlp
League Is laboring to correct the preva
lent evils by going to the root of the mat-
tor and combinlnx the forces of righteous
ness against the forces of evil. It leaches
a patriotism which Is loyal first to that
rlghteonnness which "exalteth a nation."
It urges all honest men to the' discharge of
their citizenship duties at the caucus and
primary, the "sources of power" In our
government. It Is organising local leagues
in all parts of this and other states, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. The work of
these auxiliary leagues Is locally to pre
vent tho nomination and election of cor
rupt officials, and to secure fvlcllty on the
part of otlln-rs Intrusted with the execu
tion of tho luwn. Co-operating In state
and national matter, they are already
doing effect'vo work on legislation and In
arousing public sentiment.
The work Is prlninrlly upon Christian
men men who profess 'to desire to see the
will of Ood done on earth but church
membership is not a condition of member
ship in the league. The headquarters of
the national body is at K3 I,nSalle street,
Chicaeo. from whence It sends out lame
amountsof literature and numerous sneak
ers and organizers. There are 5,0(K).(100
Christian voters In this country. Allied
to them are at least 3,cvM),noo voters of high
,tr!r.vle. though nut church members.
The balance of power Is, therefore. In
Chrlstinn hanils. In their opposition to
evil thoiM forces have been united and ag
gressive, ns are the saloon and other In
terests. To secure this unity of purpose
and actlom Is the aim of the national
league. The success already attained
gives promise of Inrge efficiency In the fu
ture. The plans of the league are every
where received with enthusiastic Indorse
ment and co-operation. It Is not an effort
to combine stn-te and churc h, or to govern
the state through the church, but to make
Christian principles Instead of greed for
gain or office the ruling motive In public
affairs.
