convention was very turbulent ana tne
absence of the secretary of the county
committee delayed the work of the con-

Delegates to the convention began to
make their appearance on the streets
early in the morning and sought the
ht adquarters of Mr. Fahey at the Nt.
Charles, or of County Chairman Roche
at the Scranton House, the latter hav
ing charge of the light In Mr. l.ynett s
Interest. In- accordance with) the re
quest expressed by Chairman Roche,
many of the delegates went to parlor 6
of the Scranton House to enrol with
Secretary Sahdo. Lieutenant of Mr.
Fahey were on duty at the Scranton
House to look nfter his interests and
many of the delegates proceeded direct
to the St. Charles after having enrolled.
At 1.45 p. m. the Faheyltes moved from
the St. Charles to the armory prepan d
for the fray. They announced that
they would have eighty-two delegates
In the convention.
Found the Armory l ocked.
When the party reached the armory
they found the doors locked, and Jani
tor Watkins explained that they would
not be opened until the nrrlval "f
Chairman Roche. At 2.1U that gentle
man put In an appearance and there
upon the door of the convention hall
swung open and the delegates and spec
tators who had been knocking their
heels together on the sidewalk were a)
loweJ to enter.
Then the work of "seeing" delegates
began and well-known party workers
could be seen In all parts of the build
ing using their Influence on the repre
sentative of the Democrats of the
county wl'th a view to swaying them
irom tneir "convictions."
M. F. .Sando, secretary of the countv
committee, who had the roll of dele

was not present and messengers were
dispatched In haste for him. He could
not be found. After the convention had
got down to work he arrived, but took
no part whatever In the business of the
convention.
Many of the old war-horses of the
party were ei'ther delegates or specta
tors at t'he convention. Owen Con
nolly, of Mlnooka. the venera'ble fa'ther
of the late Judge Connolly, occupied
a front seat with James Pldgeon, of
Carbondale, Editor K. J. Lynett and
John Oaffne.y, of the West Side, ns
neighbors. Across the aisle Detective
Moran, of Carbondale. smoked a Fahev
ekiar and exchanged views on the sil

Dunn, of the annex district, who wore
a sombrero and carried a cane. Ex-
Mayor w. f. Loftus and Colonel F. .1.

F. Scanlon were present to watch the
struggle of their brother physicians for
supremacy.
Some ef the Other Notables.
Representative Charles O'Malley had
a station In the rear of the room, and
watched, with' evident Interest, the
manner In which his political oppon
ents conduct the affair. Other well

At 2.30 Chairman John E. Roche, of
the county committee, stepped to ths
front of the platform, which was orna
mented by the American flag, and
called the convention to order. He said
the delay In calling the convention was
occasioned by the absence of secretary
M. F. Fando, who had promised to be
present, but had, up to that moment,
nct put In an appearance. In his ab
sence he named M. F. Gllroy as secre
tary. Mr. Orffney .Made Objection.
"I will appoint James J. Ffeley, of
Ardhbald, assistant to the secretary,"
said Chairman Koche, as the secretary
took his seat on the platform.
"Oh, give us a representative, Joihn."

"I did m,t know there was any dif

"Well, there Is a good deal," retorted
Mr. Gaffney.
"Have you any one to suggest?"
queried the chairman.
"I name John J. Durkln. ot the West

Durkln was appointed.

nounced that he was ready tn receive
nomlnatl ns for temporary chairman.
T. P. Dully was the first person to gain
recognition of the chair. He placed the
name of 01 r .Fahey before tin? conven
tion, and In doing o spoke as follows:
In the h'story of men and nnt!ons suc
cess has kirgely depended upou the skill
and ability of a leader and Invurlably th s
leader ha arisen from the ranks of the
people. In order to wrest victory from an
active nnd weil organized opposition he
must be ot a fearless and .Indomitable d's
poidtion. He must be familiar with the
methods likely to be adopted by the
enemy in order to successfully combat

His magnetic qualities should be such as

The n .1
isity of such a man at this tine'
to lead tl 1 Democratic hosts of this coun
ty to V'li t t y 's apparent to every one and
I tulte pi isure ill presenting such a per
son to ; .l In the person of John J.
Fahey, v 10m I Humiliate for the positloa
of eliaiT 1. 111 of th's convention. .Mr.
Fahey n Is no introduet on to the Dem
ocrats ol his county. He hus been a life
long lii i. " i at and has been tried and not
found w. it.ng. , He '.s familiar to you nil
nod you (re famll'ar w th the fact that
he has f t years labored earnestly In the
cause of Democracy and aided very ma
terially In a truly generous manner by be
stowing his time, talents nd money In
the stru'.'tfles of the pust for the success
of Demi i raey. Its success has been ac
complisli.ii largely through his efforts;
Its reverse can lie uttributed to a com
bination of circumstances which '.t Is to
be hopei! will no arise again.
The outlook for the future of the Demo
cratic p;irty of this county with John J.
Ftihey .tl the helm 'is favorable. His
knowlcKe of men and the voting districts
of this ci iirity is unsurpassed. It was ac
quired In' years of experience and will be
Invaluabr? In conducting this campaign
for the s i.'cess of the whole ticket.
He is 10 tyro or novice In politics. He
possesses the distinguished traits of a
Krn leaner of men. He rould rally to his
sildo all the di'sronlant and turbulent ele
ments in the party and blend them in
perfect harmony and I feel confident
that if h' is elected by you as ehalrman
today the result w ll be a decided victory
for the hole ticket 'In Nocember.
F.ditur II. J. l.ynett Nominated.
Colonel F. J. Fllzslmmons was the
next speaker, and he tduced Editor E.
J. Lynett in nomination. In doing so
he said:

W. .1 Burke seconded the nomination
of Mir Faihey. and in dolnig so deplored
what 1 e described aft the "cheek" of the
edktor if Democratic paper In coming
befon the convention and asking them
to ele. ; a chairman who would be neti
tra.l. 'Elect Joihn J. Fahey and you
won't -rave a 'neutral.' 1ut a man who
will g, -e his best efforts to flghtthecom
mon nemy," snld Mr. Burke, with a
can-. tie wave of Ills 'hand. That end
ed th oroitory, and t'he roll was called,
Jame .1. Coleman,' John J. Durkln and
M. F. Uilroy acting as tellers.
Sccno of Grent Disorder.
When the Second district of the Thir
teenth ward of this city was reached
the name of W. J. Burke was called as
the substitute for 'M. F. Cadden.
Chairman Koche objected to allowing
him to vote and said he would first
have to get the consent of the conven
tion. Ile held that It was Irregular for
Mr. Turke. a resident of the Ninth
ward, to be a substitute from the Thlr
teentl .
"Th -n. let the convention decide,"
said Vr. Burke. "I claim the privilege
of voting In this convention, but if the
delegates say nn. I nm content."
"They're dying hard" yelled one dele
gate, and at the same time a number
of oil ers were on the floor Insisting
that they be recognized. All spoke at
once awl the greatest disorder pre
vailed. Finally T. P. Duffy made him
self heard above the din, and moved
that Mr. Burke be allowed a vote.
Chairman Hoche vetoed that proposi
tion, nnd emphatically declared that he
would not entertain such a motion until
after the ndl cnll was completed. This
decision w;t greeted with hisses and
shouti of ji-i'islnn. and Mr. Burke
ngaln forged to the front, nnd declared
that no delegate had nbjedted to allow
him t vote and thnt It came with bad
grace for the chalrmnn to raise objec
tion. "I object to allovinir that man to
vote," yellid a .delegate to the left cf
the platform. "If he does not reside In
the ward he has no right to vote."
Cries of "sit down" and "shut up"
greeted this spi c'h, ami the motion to
allow Mr. Burke to vote was renewed
and ngaln refused.
"This substitution Is not right or
Just." said the chairman. "There Is ho
nacd of Importing o delegate from tho
Ninth ward while there are plenty of
good men In the Thirteenth."
Attorney llnylor's Little Speech.
"A Bttnorat of t'he county Is a
Democrat of any dlr.trlct In H." was
the convincing bit of logic that Attor
ney W. W. Baylor hurled at the chair
man. ,
"Mr. Baylor Is not a delegate In this
convention and has no voice In It,"
pa VI the chahman.
"I'm a Democrat, and have a right to
be heard." Nevertheless lie wa not.
This running fire of conversation was
punctnhited "by Mssfs and exclamations
of all klmls, but Mr. Ilonhe remained
firm In the face of the rtorm and ulti
mately It mrJjslded and the roll call
proceeded until the Fourteenth ward
was reached, jwhen another scene was
created because the regularly elected
delegate was (debarred from voting by
reason of a contest Instituted by a

The first work Mr. Fahey did after re
questing the secretaries to continue to
serve until the organization was made
permanent was to appoint the following
committees:

Chairman. John J. Fahey; secretaries.
Joseph Brennan. of Carbondale, and
Fred Klrchoff. of this city. The report
was unanimously adopted. Mr. Klr
choff was not In the hall at the time
and to expedite matters tlhe convention
was asked to name his successor. John
flnffney, John J. Buddy and M. J.
Walsh, of this city, nnd M. Q. Cuslck,
of Mlnooka, were nominated, nnd that
no time might bo lost In balloting for
them, the chairman dlrectad all of them
to serve. They did.
ChBlrman John E. Roche presented
the report. of the committee on resolu
tions, which was as follows:
The Resolutions as Head.
The Democrats of Lackawanna county,
in eunvenUon assembled, hereby reuttlim
the.r alieg.uiice to the doctrines of the
fathers ot the party and heartily indorse
tho wise, sagacious and statesmanlike ad
mlii'.Ftratioii of President Urover Cleve
land. We congratulate the business man, the
mechanic, the farmer and the tollers of
'our eplcndal and thrifty county on the re
turn of prosper.ty under the careful, Ju
dicious and magnificent management of
a Democratic policy 'inaugurated under
tne solemn pledge or the national platform
of lssi.
We look with mistrust und disfavor on
the municlpul police force and otllee
holders, together with the corporate whip
of mine bosses, being used to manipulate
the result of primaries and general elec
tions In our midst. Tho recent use of
lurge sums of money enieiily and defiantly
siiunt In tho corrupt practice of purchas
ing both voters and delegates In the
Quay-Hastings contest, we unqualifiedly
condemn as being vicious and repugnant
and entirely contrary to the teachings and
morals of our democral.c 'institutions.
We desire, to record our unanimous at'
testation to the hearty and vigorous ef
forts and sacrifices now being made by
tho Cuban iwtrlots for liberty on their
iKianu, ana pray ror me r uenvery from
the cruel and barbarous bondage of Span
ish inhumanilty and brlganduge, and to the
sons of uoor Erin, we wish them Godspeed
In their sod endeavors to procure thoir
nights on their beloved isle.
We .indorse In toto every word and sen
tence of th Democratic state platform
adopted at Will'amsport nnd pledge our
heartiest and most loyal support to tho
nominees of that convention, but to that
conspicuously able nd distinguished son
of Icka wanna Hon. Peter P. Smith-
nominee for Suoenlor court Judge, we vow
Increased and renewed energies to ecl'.pse
ourselves at the polls by legitimately in
creasing any vote nereioiore given n:m.
We iiistlv and ftpnronn'ately point w'th
pride to the splendid record made by Cor

Colonel F. J. Kltzslmmons nominated
Dr. J. A. Ke'ley. and M. F. Gllroy did
Kvrvl.te for Dr. P. .11. McAndrew. After
the first thirty-nine delegates 'had vot
ed llroy wk'hdrew the name of Mc
Andrew, as he had received but three
votes. Ills friends were greatly dis
pleased at this action. Archbald,
Bl'akely and Carbondnle were the dele
gates who had voted, and these places
were the acknowledged Kelley strong
holds. They Wero Not Pleased.
The withdrawal of Dr. McAndrews'
name at the moment when the places
he expected to develop strength In
were reached vn looked upon ns a
piece of unpardonable blundering by
many of the doctor's frhnds, as they
(aid It put film In a false and unen
viable position before the public. Ills
name should cither not have been pre
sented cr allowed to remuln until his
full etrength wr.s shown, was their
opinion with regard to the matter very
openly expressed.
Dr. Kelley s nomination was made by
accl'iimatlon, and then the convention
adjourned.
