Tti Demoonatlo leaders are count
Ins upon cutting he Republican plur
ality to Pennsylvania down so low
tomorrow, that t will, by contrast with
last fall's vote, look 11k a pemocratlc
victory. They cannot fulfltl this ex
pectation unless Republicans them
selves render It possible by their own
indifference. Let very Republican re
member this far tomorrow, and do
the rlg-ht thine; by voting promptly.
.
Republicans Are Harmonious.
As a delicate way of telling the Demo
cratic voters of Lackawanna county to
vote for Judge Smith alone among the
Democratic candidates for' Superior
court judge, the Scranton Times writes
an Ingenious letter to Itself, purporting
to come from a "Disgusted Kepuuil
can,", and asking its advice how to vote.
In view of the fact that It wouldn't look
well for the Times, a Democratic paper,
to tell Democrats, to their face, to cut
the names of candidates tferkes, Moore
head, Noyes, Bechtal and Magee, ac
cordingly it rigs up a "Republican"
dummy and speaks its piece to it, In
tones loud enough for the Democrats
to hear.
We would not allude to this, because
It primarily Is a matter for our Demo
cratic friends to settle among them
selves, were It not that our Democratic
afternoon contemporary, In Its fake
letter, alleges that there are a number
of Republicans in this county who, like
the alleged writer of that Imaginary
letter, are "disgusted" with their state
ticket and are anxious to avoid voting
for it. This statement we desire flatly
to challenge. It Is not true, and we
suspect our contemporary knows that
It Is not. Every man on the Republican
ticket, state and local, was nominated
without a symptom of unfairness, and
Is, therefore, entitled to the support of
those who assert their Republican al
legiance. In addition, some of the men
on that ticket, notably Judge Wlllard,
are entitled, because of geographical
and personal reasons, to the votes of
many who ordinarily do not vote the
Republican ticket
No, dear Times, you err when you say
that there are any "disgusted Repub
licans" this year. The feeling of dis
gust will, after to-morrow, be a Demo
cratic monopoly.
e ' '
The Republican plurality -tomorrow
cannot be made too high. Every gain
achieved now means Just so much
toward carrying the presidency one
year hence.
Holmes' Found aulfty.
' It te possible that tihe verdict of
in (be Holme, case, Saturday, is the 1
correct one. The verdict certailnly re
ceives) pufbuVo approval, upon what !s
somewhat vaguely called "general
principles." Here was a man accused
of not simply one horrible crime, but
of a doxen, each Involving circum
stances of flendfatmess rarely equalled
In criminal annals. The narration of
these crimes, with elaboration and em
bellishment, bos occupied the attention
of the press of the country for months;
and quite witihout (exception It has
been assumed that the prisoner com
mitted all of them, and probably more
besides. The adjectives used to un
folding these dally tales of perfidy and
assassination (have been seasoned to
the full limit of journalistic sensa
tionalism; the resources of art have
been added until pictures of grim
fcouses with blood-smeared walls, wind
ing subterranean passages and trap
doors, appear In one's mental perspec
tive at the very mention of Holmes'
name; and the imagination of a con
tinent has been Oiled with a ferment
of horror. "
'It was at the Height' of thHi ferment
that Holmes was rushed to trial. He
bad, almost alone, to face the resources
of one of tihe most perfect court me
chanisms fai the country a mechanism
so unerring that it has often been re
marked, although we dare say extrav
agantly, that the prisoner whom the
District Attorney of. Philadelphia
county wishes to convict Is as good as
sentenced In advance'; tie had to stand
up, Uke a wild animal at bay, against
an , on-rushing mass - of excited pur
suers which had long previously lost
whatever of the Judicial quality tt had
orltinally ooaseaaad: and MrnHv. ml.
though not least among the ooiuridre
CteMteadtotr to prejudice has cbanoe of
fair trial, he labored under the dis
advantage of - record confessedly
"crooked" In financial matters and
therefore . presumptively bad all
through. Under these circumstances,
and wholly without reference to sueh
minor matters as facts and testimony.
It was apparent from the beginning of
the trial that the hue and cry against,
him would not stop short of securing
tils condemnation to death.
It is improbable, however, that
twelve men chosen, say, from some in
terlace point In England which the
furor concerning Holmes had not ef
fected, listening Judicially to the testi
mony actually aklduced against the
Philadelphia prisoner, would have come
to the opinion, on the first ballot, that
Holmes was guilty of first degree mur
der. On the other hand. It strikes us
as probable Uhat the jury which did
reach suoh a verdict would have ar
rived at the eame conclusion, even
had the commonwealth offered no tes
timony whatever. It seems from all
accounts to 'hove 'been a kind of Im
mense man-bunt, achieved under the
sanction and within the forms of law.
As audi It l?'Untere3ting, even thril
ling. As such, tt must be declared a
rcimairkable success, deserving the gen
eral applause ' which will, for a few
days, be bestowed upon it. But in any
other aspect U occurs to us that the
Holmes trial will. In calmer moments,
be deemed rather a humiliation than
a triumph of deliberative, unbiased
and impartial justice.
The ibest antidote for the Democratic
'till hunt" plan of campaign will be
for every Republican to come out and
vote.
Other Interesting Elections.
Apart from Its consequences In the
campaign in Pennsylvania tomorrow's
balloting will be watched with eager
ness because of notable contests in four
other states. Probably the most Im
porta nt Issue of all is that which dl
vides the citizens of the Empire state,
city and rural. In ultimate conse
quences this Issue may be most lasting
and the most far-reaching of those now
before the American people. It Is gen
erally conceded that the political field
has for some time lain fallow with re
spect to what are called moral issues.
The tariff question Involves, to be sure,
the moral principle of looking after
one's own household, and we have
Scriptural sanction for saying that he
who neglects this Is worse than an In'
fide!; but It Is alreariv practically de
elded in favor of protection. The cur
rency question also touches morals.
yet each Interprets It rather accord
lng to the profit and loss account. But
the question of an American versus an
"European" Sunday; ine question of
whether the saloons and the saloon
vote or the churches and the church
vote shall have supremacy In this coun
try Is a live one, cardinally moral and
potentially commanding. It will prob
ably not be settled finally by tomop
row's elections, even though the Fu
sionists should carry New York city, a
possibility in our Judgment remote.
Perhaps the next contest in the order
of their Importance is that which has
extraordinarily stirred the people of
Kentucky. As a matter of fact, the
governor of Kentucky has no more to
do with the enactment of currency leg
islation than has a naturalized. Wahoo
Indian; but because Wat Hardin, the
Democratic nominee for that position,
was a fre sllverlte when nominated on
a gold standard platform, and because
following his then expressed Intention,
he has since refused to stand on the
monetary plank In the Kentucky Dem
ocratlc platform, a contingent of the
Bourbons la fighting him, tooth and
nail, anil there Is said to be a fair pros
pect of electing the Republican candl
date, Colonel W. O. Bradley. We ques
tlon the accuracy of the prediction that
Bradley will win easily. We doubt if he
will win at all. When It comes right
down to the point of voting, it is likely
true that the Kent ucky Democrat, whose
Democracy is Inherited, will hesitate to
desert a regularly nominated Demo
cratic candidate for a Republican, cur
rency question or no currency question
The success of Bradley would, however,
be a negative victory at best. What
is needed In the south Is the kind of
Republican victory which represents
the actual supremacy of Republican
doctrines and Republican principles.
A lively fight has been waged in
Maryland, by Republicans and anti
Gorman Democrats, against the auto-
cratio Democrato machine which has
long governed that state. The Repub
ltcans appear to have a jackass for state
chairman. At all events, they have as
chairman a man .who, at a time when
he ought to be tending strictly to bust-
MM- u"er B,"jr1 char?8
against the Republican chairman In
another state. This Is one evidence of
weakness. Another Is the fact that
most of the Democrats who are fighting
Senator Gorman are tarred off the
same stick but are this time In revolt
through envy, pique or overmastering
ambition. That kind of company Isn't
much to the Republicans' credit, but It
is doubtless one of the vicissitudes of
war. Such Information as we can get,
outside the party newspaper organs,
which do not always tell the whole
truth as to the other side's chances,
is to the effect that Gorman, although
hard pressed, will likely win. This
would be an unfortunate outcome; but
Republicans may as well look the situa
tion In the face. .
In New Jersey the campaign has
been in all respects more aggressive,
dignified and fairly divided than In
either Kentucky or Maryland. The
Republican oandldate for governor, Mr.
Griggs, Is a popular and promising
young leader, bold, energetic and per
sonally lrrepros enable. His opponent Is
chancellor of the commonwealth, and is
personally held In the highest repute.
Senator Origgs has conducted a man
ly and straightforward canvass, while
his opponent, because of his connec
tion with the bench, has left to others
the work of campaign-making. It
seems to be the consensus of opinion
that Origgs will win, but the battle Is
close and the margin on either side will.
It Is thought, not be large. A fifth
campaign, that In ' Ohio, has been In
teresting Ohio campaigns always are.
But there does not appear to be any
real reason to doubt the success of
General Bushnell, the Republican can
didate for governor to succeed Mc
Klnlery by from M.000 to (0,000 plurality.
and the election of a legislature hostile;
I
to the re-election of Senator Calvin 8.
Brie.
Star chamber proceedings are not to
the liking of Judge Archbald, who did
.wl 0 . . . ,,,,
the correct thing Saturday In refusing
to exclude newspaper men from the
Wilson habeas corpus hearing. Detec
tive McPweeney and his attorney de
sired that the hearing should be held
behind closed doors, but the Judge
pointedly told them that no Judge
would be justified In taking such a step.
It was a public matter and should be
conducted In an open manner. The de
tective. In explanation of his unique
request and of his conduct In keeping
the prisoner chained In his office for
four days, said that the "Interests of
Justice demanded tt" Judge Archbald's
decision refusing to tolerate a star
chamber proceeding might be studied
with profit by Colonel Colquitt.
The Republican who neglects to vote
tomorrow will neglect an Important
duty. Don't let the Democratic expec
tation of a small Republican vote be
'realised.
Vote for Edmund A. Baril for county
eurveyor and rebuke the smallness
which would debar a capable and trust
worthy candidate on account of race.
The present county surveyor has al
ready had two terms. Why not give
somebody else a Chance?
In order to prevent your forgetting
about It, tomorrow, go to the polls and
vote, early.
Vote for Dr. Longstreet for coroner,
He will make a first-rate official.

The figures of the wags loss of employes
does not represent their entire loss, for It
does not inciuae i,twj,n( paid by labor
organizations tor assistance 10 tne am
era. The lockouts In these twenty-six
cities numbered 244, affecting 2,970 estab
lishments and throwing out of employ
ment 140,135 employes, with a wage loss of
$12,108,463 and payments for assistance of
$671,818 and a loss to employers or $6,764,280.
The causes of the strikes of the seven
and a half yeara covered by the present
report, and the object sought, were as fol
lows: Increase of wages, 12,041 establish
ments or 25.69 per cent, of the whole num
ber Involved; reduction of hours, 6,199 or
13.23 per cent.; against reouction or wages,
3.830 of 8.17 per cent.; In sympathy with
strikes elsewhere, 36.20 or 7.73 per cent.;
Increase of wages and reduction of hours,
8,095 or 6.60 per oent. The minor cause?
Included the dismissal of union men and
other familiar causes of difference be
tween employers and employes. The num
ber of cases In which the employes were
successful In gaining their demands dur
ing the entire period of thirteen and a
half years was 30.772, the number In which
th-y were partlal'y successful was 779 and
tha number In which they failed was SO..
697. The showing- la not so favorable, how.
ever, for the Individual employes Involved
for only 22 per cent, succeeded completely
In the object they sourht, 12.46 per cent
partly succeeded and 65.6 per cent, en
