And to the election of them all, without

Nominating Candidates for Coroner.
"Nominations for coroner will now
be received," said Chairman Akerly,
and Thomas Shotten, of Providence, at
once claimed the attention of the con
vention, and, in a brief speech, placed
Dr. W. A. Donne's name before the con
vention. He said that gentleman was
the choice of the Republicans of the
Providence portion of the county, who,
he said, were deserving of representa
tion on the ticket. James E. Watklns
next took the floor and nominated Dr.
E. K. Weston, of Taylor, ns the choice
of the Republicans of the southern
part of the county, for coroner. Three
years ago, he said. Dr. W'eston was
given the Republican nomination, and
made a gallant fight, but was defeated.
He thought It would be only justice
and a s'irlct following of precedent to
give him another nomination.
"I want to occupy the time of the
convention for a few minutes while I
place In nomination the next coroner
of Lnckawanna county," wns the man
ner in which Alderman W. .S. Millar
prefaced his remurks In placing ' Dr.
S. P. 1ongstreet In nomination. Mr.
Millar said that It was 'highly desirable
that the coroner should be a resident
of this city that he may be m close
communication with all pnrts of the
county at all times. lie snld that Mr.
liongfitreet was a man with a host of
frlt?nds and Is moreover a resident of
the pivot of politics In Lackawanna
county, the Eighth ward of Scranton.
The roll wns called and the vote re
sulted as follows:
DR. S. V. LO?riSTREET..ir,7!4
I)'R. E. E. WESTON 2CVt
fit. W. A. DONNE 28
Dr. Longstrert wns declared the nom
inee of the convention amid loud ap
plause. The work of selecting a county
surveyor was next taken up, and Jo
seph Buumelster named Edmund A.
Bartl as a candidate for the nomina
'tlon after paying a splendid tribute to
his ability. Gwlym Jones placed In
nomination Richard Evans, of the
West Ride, and IM. E. Sanders nomi
nated George H. .Stevenson, of Waverly.
Permission was given to Attorney It.
II. Holgate, who was not a delegate,
to second the nomination of Mr. Steph
enson. Mr. Ilolgotc's Seconding Speech.
He said the convention had already
nominated a candidate for coroner who
Is a resident of Scrairton, and would
elect two delegates to the national con
vention who also reside here. He
thought It only Justice to the remainder
of the county, !artlculnrly the country
districts, to accord the nomination of
county surveyor to Waverly, which
put forward one of her ablest sons for

the honor. A ballot was taken which
resulted as follows:
EDMUND A. BARTL Iil7
GEORGE E. STEVENSON.. 4
RICHARD EVANS 20
Mr. Bartl having received a majority
of all votes cast, was declared elected.
Chairman Akerly announced that the
eleotton of national delegates was the
next business that would engage the
attention of the delegates. Attorney J.
J. H. Hamilton gained the recognition of
the chair and spoke as follows In nom
inating candidate 'for delegate:
Next summer und autumn the whole
America li .people will again exercise their
highest prerogative as uncrowned kings,
and select from umoug themselves one of
their number to assume for a time the
symbol of power as the ruler, or servant,
of a great people.
For the selection of a candidate to lead
the Republican hosts to victory ill lli.i
presidential campaign of 'Dti, we should
send as delegates to the national conven
tion men of wide exiierience in affairs,
men of such Integrity of character as
may depended upon to faithfully represent
the best Interests of Lackawanna county.
In view of the distressful financial de
pression incident to the surrender of the
government to the Democracy at the last
presidential election, und resultunt from
thut surrender, we should send to repre
sent us in the coming convention men
whose business experience Is the most ex
tended and who can und will secure such
nominations as will lie to the best Inter
ests of our county, our state and our na
tion. Such men we have: men whose busi
ness capacity has been proved by almost
unbounded success, und whoi charity
has called down upon their heads the
benedictions of men and angels. Men
whose characters are known and read of
nil, and who have the confidence, respect
and esteem of every man in the commun
ity without regard to race, to color, or to
creed. Such men we have; men who will
represent us with credit to themselves
and with honor to us.
Hie Delegates Nominated.
As such, I take pleasure In nominating
as delegates to the next national con
vention the sturdy and benevolent Will
iam Connell, and the honest und upright
John T. Williams; and ns alternates,
that honest and Jovial man of the people,
Conrad Schroeder, and that royal gen
tleman, James J. Williams.
on motion of W. S. i.MIHar the rules
were suspended and the gentlemen
named by Attorney Hamilton were
unanimously elected. There was a de
mand thut the national delegates and
candidates tumnlnated lie brought be
fore the convention and E. P. Kings
bury and W. S. Millar were deputized
to secure their presence. They appeared
first with Mr. Con mil and Mv. Will
lams, whose appearance on the stage
was the signal for an outburst of en
thusiasm. IMr. Council was llrst intro
duced and said:
"I am not hi re to make a speech or to
try to make one, but simply to thank
you for selecting me ns one of those
who will have u voice in naming your
next president. It will 'be my purpose
Bind duty 'to represent the wishes of the
Republicans of Lucka wanna county
and do thut which is best for the party.
I congratulate you on the harmony
and unity that now exists In the party
In this state. A few weeks ago the sky
was dark and It looked ns if our party
was to be rent in twain, but the good
sense of our leaders wisely ended the
strife and we are again a happy and
united party.
About Superior Court Judges.
"And now a word ns to the Superior
court Judges. 1 am, perhaps, a little
anxious about them, but I want to see
them get the vote of every Republican.
They were appointed by Governor
Hastings, endorsed by Senator Quay
and nominated by acclamation. That's
a pretty good record, I think. We want
to give every one of these Judges a big
vote, .particularly Judge Willard, for
this is his home."
John T. Williams also thanked the
delegates for the honor conferred upon
him, which he said was the greatest of
his life. Candidates Longstreet nnd
Bartl were Introduced and made short
addresses, .returning their thanks and
promising to give their best efforts to
the public service If elected.
Dr. S. P. Longstreet, the candidate
for coroner, has been practicing medi
cine In this city for ten years. He 1s
a graduate of Mansfield .State Normal
school and taught school In Wayne
county for a time before beginning the
study of rpetllclne. Hie has been a
successful practlcloner and enjoys the
