SCttANTON DECEMBER 2, 1S95. , The Suranton Trlbunu Is a ltepubll i can paper and it will support the I nominees of the next Republican city ; convention. Daro tho Seranton lie. !." publican say as much? An Interesting; Interview. A really important contribution to the literature of the canvas3 for the Republican mayoralty nomination was mode by the stsemed Times Saturday when it secured from General Mine Superintendent Benjamin Hughes, of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern company, an unequivocal denial of the persistently circulated rumor that the employes cf that company had been requested to work for tho nomina tlon of Thomas D. Davics, the "Inde pendent Rotnib'.ieun" candidate for city treasurer, end for his colleagues on the Seranton Mugwump slate, Cap tain James Molr and C. W. Westpfahl Not only does Mr. Hughes repudiate the idea that the oflleers of his com. pany are Interforlns with tho prefer ences of their men in this particular canvass, but ho adds that they have never done this and do not pronose to do it in the future. The candidacies of Messrs. Molr and Westpfahl munt, he intimates, stand, so far as the West Side is concerned, on their own merits w hile as for Mr. Pavles. Mr. Hughes Is quoted as snylncr that he is not a can didate. Just what this means will per haps be more apparent later on; but there are many persona who see in it the realization of their prediction thnt the Seranton "Independent Republi can" mayoralty movement would not survive until the day of the conven tion, much loss prove a disturbing fac tor in that convention. The frank and manly statement of Mr. Hughes will doubtless prove an embarrassment to the coterio of !'In dependent Republican" politicians who have for several weeks busily circulat ed the story that the Delaware, Lack awanna and Western company would do its utmoBt to pul! their chestnuU out of the fire. It leaves these gentlemen In a somewhat humiliating position. But so far as the general public Is con cerned, it will be accepted as an honest and straightforward enunciation of policy (loins credit to the man who made it and to the company for which he Bpeaks. Major McDowell will make an affable apd amiable clerk, but Pennsylvania's cup of joy will not be filled until Penn ylvania also gets the presidency. , To Prevent Gerrymandering. Congressman Burton, of Ohio, has gone to Washington with a bill In his vest pocket which strikes at a serious nuisance, It Is a bill to prevent gerry manderingthat agreeable pastime of partisan legislative majorities In states where congressmen can be gained by dishonest reapportionments. Mr. Bur ton expects to make this bill his special hobby in the coming congress and has hope that it will yet become a law. His bill provides that after congress has apportioned the number of mem bers to which ach state is entitled, tho governor of each state shall op point a board of four men, two from each of tho principal parties In the state, to divide the state into congres sional dls'iicts. If this board cannot agrre, It shall certify up the points In controversy to a national boarl of four members, which shall be appointed at Washington, two from each party. If this board is unable to agree a fifth member shall be selected who has been a judge of the United States Supreme court for at least ten years. It is thought that such a balancing o parti san Interests In the preparation of a state reapportionment would obviate the gross one-sidedneas nt present of ten witnessed and secure an equitable and symmetrical division. The principal fault with the forego ing proposition is that it If) too idyllic. A body of practical politicians like con gress will be likely to hesitate long before assenting to a measuro which would probably mean tbe defeat of a considerable precentago of Its member ship. The bill's purpose cannot be too highly commended, but wo are not optimistic enough to' believe that the state of political morals Is yet high enough In this country to permit It to become a law. - After today, toncresa will have thn president en its hands. A Philadelphia dispatch to the Chica go Times-Herald says: "Senator Quay ' has been urged by his Pennsylvania, lieutenants to be a candidate for presi dent It Is conoeded that, he will con trol, at the very least, a. majority of Pennsylvania' delegates. Ho con trolled forty-five In the last national convention. The friends of Governor - Hastings want complimentary vote given to him as a favorite son of his state. ' Mr. Quay Is against him, and to hesJ off that scheme Will have as much of tha delegation as he controls In trusted for himself.' There Is good, reason to believe that the above is un true in every essential particular. In reply to the question "who is to be our next president?" Governor Hast ings writes to a New York paper: "Mc Kinley and Reed are both very popu lar in Pennsylvania, but the Republi cans of the arand old Keystone state may bo counted upon to roll up a mag nificent majority for any candidate that may be chosen as the standard bearer of the Republican party in the presidential race of 1896, whether those candidates be prominent favorites or some as yet unthought-of dark horses." Pennsylvania's best energies would be elicited by the candidacy of her gal lant irovernor, and he could be elected president with the utmost ease. Speaker Reed's Speech. The speech of Mr. Reed, when called before the Republican caucus on Sat urday after his unanimous nomina tion for the speakership of the house, will place him higher than ever in the estimation of his fellow-citizens. It was an even-tempered, conservative and wise outlining of the policy and duty of the Republican majority of the house. Brief na were his remarks they contain volumes for the reflection and consideration of the Republican repre sentative!'. Mr. Reed is the natural leader of the house, and in hl3' brief remarks to his follow members of tho majority he only emphasized his su perior qualities of leadership. If the house adopts tho policy outlined by Mr. Reed it will speedily pass wcll- consldered legislation for the increase of the revenues of tho treasury to a sunicient volume to meet the expendi tures of tho government; it will Inau gurate a foreign policy that "shall mnintaiu our position with firmness and self-respect." In short, the Re publican majority lit the house, if gov erned by Speaker Reed's wise counsel, will advance a revenue nnd a foreign policy which the senate and the Demo crat 1c administration cannot reject without incurring the condemnation of tho American people. That is what Mr. Reed means when he enys: "In this I trust the whole government. In all its branches, will be in accord with each other and with the people." Mr. Reed, like other thoughtful Re publicans, does not look forward to a complete restoration of prosperity in the nation until after the people shall have had the opportunity to complete the work of ousting tho Democratic party from power, but he very clearly recognizes the fact that upon the Re publican house devolves a grave and Important duty. That duty is to in dicate such a policy as will convince the American people that their pro test against Democratic incompetency and misrule will be respected' by the Republicans. Mr. Reed would place upon tho senate and the president the full responsibility of rejecting- wise and patriotic legislation enacted by the Re publican house. This Is in exact ac cord With the policy The Tribune has from time to time urged upon the Re publican representatives in congress. Revenue legislation that will bring moro money into the treasury in a le gitimate way is an imperative neces sity. The house must originate such measures, as Mr. Reed points out. The house must pass the necessary bills and leave to the senate and the presi dent tho alternatives of accepting or rejecting them. ' No patriotic Ameri can can road the brief address of Speaker Reed without being convinced that his follow Republican representa tives have acted wisely In again plac ing him In the speaker's chair. He will direct tho majority wisely, patriotically and conservatively. The success of the venture of the management of the Frothlngham the ater in securing for this city three per formances of Sardou's "Gismonda" as Interpreted by Miss Fanny Davenport is a gratifying proof that Intelligence and discernment are on tho increase in Sernnton. The original enterprise dictating such an experiment and its prompt and thorough appreciation by tho public both deserve grateful rec ognition. Meet the Issue Manfully. Tho persistent clamor of the Phila delphia Times that Judge Smith or soma friend representing him should impugn the honor of tho voters vho elected him by instituting a contest against himself must' appear to men without bias as ridiculous to the point of monotony. If the Times does not believe that there were Democratic votes cast in this and other counties for Smith alone, it can, by acting promptly, havo Its skepticism re moved by securing a recount of the ballots; but In the absence of such ef fort on Its part or on tho part of those whose chagrin It doubtless voices, It ought not to expect the victor himself to question the validity of his own election simply because some other fel low did not win instead. Concerning the Times' charge that Judge Smith or his friends "deliberate ly planned the systematic betrayal of all Judge Smith's associates on the judicial ticket In order to elect him" it need be said that a similar accusa tion would doubtless in some quarter have been raised had any other of the six Democratic candidates received a larger vote than his five colleagues. It was, from the nature of the case, a race to the swiftest; each candidate know ingly took his chances and la therefore In honor bound to abido the result without whine or whimper. To work for his .own election did not involve Judge Smith In any plan of betrayal unless it be deemed treachery In a candidate to strive by fair means to reach the objective goal. The people of Lackawanna county. of both parties, are satisfied as to the fairness of the late election in this county. That there was collusion be tween Republican and Democratic election officers to falsify the count In Judge Smith's behalf Is a preposterous supposition In view of the fact that tha campaign was devoid of excite ment, the Issue one almost wholly of personal compliment and the general. drift favorable to a large compliment ary vote for both W'lllard and Smith. If the Philadelphia Times or any other distant observer can point to a single evidence of fraud In the local return It will do more than anybody here abouts can do; and until It can put Its finger upon a specific Irregularity it ought to have the fairness to with hold Its slanderous Imj-utaUcns and. take Its disappointment philosophic ally. The Tribune has not recommended the abolition of the board of pardons, although If it had done so the position could bo strongly fortified by sound arguments. It has no objection to the continuance of the board as an orna mental feature of our judicial system; but when It begins to use ltsfiuthority arbitrarily for the purpose of promot ing partiality and Inequality in the operation of punishments, It deserves to bu brought to book. That It Is doing this now few men will care to ques tion. The esteemed Free Press Is rapidly redeeming its recent promises of Im provement. Its issue of yesterday in troduced neat new headlines and sev eral bright new literary features. The Free Press Is now as good-looking a paper as there Is printed In Pennsyl vania, which, added to its -invariably good contents, makes it a bargain worth havinp. Mr. Reed has made an admirable se lection for the chairmanship of the in valid pensions committee If he has, as reported, chosen Representative Pick ler, of South Dakota. Mr. Pickler. Is one of tho brightest and cleanest men In the house, and he is a firm friend of the deserving Union veteran. A pool among the big steamship com panies to raise to an almost prohibi tive degree the cost of steerage trans portation Is among the latest "com bines." If it will restrict immigration it will be welcome. It appears now that John Dalzell will not be the chairman of the ways and means committee: but this trilling fact will not interfere with his being the real leader of his party on the floor of the house. From Washington comes the story thnt Colonel William A. Stone, of Pitts burg, is to be Pennsylvania's next gov ernor. It is possible that this selec tion is a trifle premature. Incidentally, Mr. Reed intimates that tho president will avoid trouble by keeping within his place. In other words, the new speaker pro poses to sit down heavily on the ilro alarmlsts. Mr. Reed's speech Is an excellent ex ample of radicalism well curbed. roLiTicAfroixTs. The Republicans In tho United States senate will have a caucus some day this week to consider the question of organiz ing tho sonHte. If they uan muster forty four senators they will proceed, otherwise the present organization will not be ills turbed. There are forty-two fit-publicans In the senate, not counting Stewart and Jones, of Nevuila, who have not an nounced where they stand. There beln one vacancy In the senute (from Dela ware) forty-four Is a majority. There hus been some Intimation that Senator Pef fer, of Kunsas, who was elected as a Populist, felt Inclined to net with the Re publicans, and Jones, of Nevada, is not iuite so extreme In his silver views as he was u year niro. The Democrats nnd Populists combined can control the sen ate, but nn ulllunce may not be possible between them. The New York Herald continues to plead for a third term for G rover Cleveland, and even compares him favorably with Abra ham Lincoln. This is the same Herald that raised the cry of "classlsm" against (Ji-neral Grant, when H was proposed to give the great commander a third term. It Is hoped tho Herald will succeed In su eurinir another nomination, for the fat In cumbent of the white house. Seven figures would be required to express the major ity by which his opponent would be elect- 6 " , II II II A prominent Democrat of Seranton on Saturday stated to the writer that an ef fort would be mudn to induce Hon. John K. Barrett, editor of 'the Truth, to run tor mayor as a citizens' candidate, nnd that if he consented the Democrats would en dorse hlin. Without any knowledge of what Mr. Barrett would do under such circumstances our own opinion Is that he will not consent to make the run for mayor on any conditions. Ex-Senator IneausJ'the brilliant Kansas statesman, does himself credit in the de fense he makes of the dead President Gar Held. It becomes every day more clearly apparent 'that Senator Shormnn's book was not sulllclently blue-nenolled. Sena tor Ingalls Indignantly repels the sugges tion that Garlield ever acted In bad faith toward Sherman or anybody else. The Wllkes-Barre rtecord has a deeldel S reference for Editor Charles Emory milh for United States senator, provided a Luzerne county man cannot make It. According to tho Record Luzerne has twt aspirants for the fonatorshlp Hon. Henry W. Palmer and Henry M. Fuller. Messrs. Palmer and Fuller ought to pool their in. terests. IL 11.11 Governor-elect Bradley, of Kentucky, announces that having be?n elected chief magistrate of his staLt he Intends to serve the full term, if he live;, and consequently must not be regarded as a candidate for vice-president. Tho ftoverncrship of Ken tucky is a good enough for Colonel Brad ley. Anyway, he can wan until 190V for promotion. The Philadelphia Inquirer, a frequently eciscntrln J Mima, has discovered a gentle man Damed Garret A. Hobart, somewhere In New Jersey, and is booming him for the vlce-presidentlnl nomination on tho Re publican ticket. Mr. Hobart may be a very excellent man, but he is scarcely well enough known for a place on the national ticket. Tt was eminently fitting that the vener able ex-Speaker Grow should present the name of Thomas B. Reed to the caucus for the speakership nominntlon. At the time Grow was speaker, Heed was little moro than on overgrown schoolboy. Speaker Reed should confer the chairmanship of an important commltteeon the ex-speake.-. II II II Thn Seranton Times expresses tho opin ion that Speaker Heed should give Con grereman Seranton special recognition when he comes to make up tho commit tees of the house. Mr. Reed, it is hoped, will not call to mind a certain ancient pro verb In which pearls and swine figure conspicuously. All over the stnte the Republican papers are cautioning their party not to take any stock in the unauthorized announcement hy a Harrlsburg Democratic paper that Senator Don Cameron will not be a candi date for another term. That ancient trick won't work again in fact. It is played out. For the second time the national house of representatives will have a chaplain who Is blind. He was the only man nomi nated by the caucus who was not on the slate of the combine. The blind man who broke the slate is Rov. H. W. Conden, of Michigan. Congressman-at-large HufT, of this state, announces thnt he will be a candi date for a second term. He la an advocate of the two term principle now, but he was not when he ousted Major McDowell after the latter's first term. There Is a suspicion that those who have been booming Charles A. Dana, of the New York Sun, for the Democratic nomi nation for president are actuated by no higher motive than to annoy antLexasper ate Grover Cleveland. Ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, claims to be In a position to make the announce ment that Mr. Cleveland Is not and will not be a candidate for another term. For some reason -Mr. Cleveland himself makes no Such declaration. - , Thomas B. Reed, on and after today, will be in a position to again attract the atten tion of the Democratic press. Once more they will probably dub him "Czar." U II II The Cushman Ye. Davis boom Is moving eastward from Minneeota. It will encoun ter snags before It reaches Ohio. Very Remarkable.

It is said of him that he will draw the line on llrltlsu ag gression in Venezuela, advocate a recogni tion of the Cuban revolutionists as bel ligerents, and otherwise, and in every ef fective way, restore the United States to the category of vertebrate and virile na tions.
