Election Day, Fob. 18.
The Tribune Is a Republican paper ev
ery day In the year. It supports Re
publican candidates and does not al
low personal disappointment to swerve
It from the path of duly. The Tribune
Is the only Republican daily published
in Lackawanna county.
The Logical Sequence.
The action ot a large majority of
tliOKe delegates to the city convention
elected In the Interest of Cnptaln Molr
and his colleagues. In bolting from that
convention when they found themselves
In a minority, was the natural and logi
cal outcome of the teachings of the
Scranton Republican. Weeks ago that
paper, at the direction of Congressman
Scranton, Its proprietor, placed at the
head of Its editorial column the names
of Captain Molr and Messrs. Westpfahl
and Davles, under the caption of "In
dependent Republican Ticket." From
the day that ticket appeured the belief
prevailed that it was the purpose of
Joseph A. Scranton nnd his adherents
to refuse to submit to the decision of
the city convention unless that decision
was favorable to their candidates. On
the eve of the delegate election the edi
tor of the Republican explained, in Ins
own characteristically Inconclusive nnd
Insincere way, what lie meant by the
term "Independent," but very few Re
publicans then believed him. It Is now
clearly enough apparent that Scranton
nnd Fellows, nnd those whom they saw
fit to admit to their conlldence, had
their plan of campaign laid out weeks
ago.
The appearance of the names of Molr,
Westufahl and Davles In the columns
of the Republican, ns "Independent Re
publican candidates." was the first
move In the game. The next was to go
before the Republican people at the pri
mary electlpns and endeavor to capture
a majority of the delegates. If they
succeeded they would claim to be
straight party men and as Bitch de
mand the support of all Republicans.
If they failed to secure control of the
convention they would create a pretext
for a bolt, meet separately and nomi
nate their "independent Republican
ticket," as Indicated and foreshadowed
by the Scranton Republican. The pre
text for the bolt, of which the Scranton
Republican apparently approves, was
that Democrats had voted for Ripple
delegates at the primaries. This an
swered the purpose as well, probably,
ns any other would. The scheme for
springing contests by wholesale upon
the convention was batched at the
secret meeting Monday night, and sav
ors more of a dark lantern conspiracy
than honest Republican methods to
fight a real or fancied grievance. No
one possessed of even the most ordinary
sagacity now doubts that the entire
proceeding was In conformity with a
deliberately laid plot of Scranton. Fel
lows and a few others to ulsrunt the
city convention and demoralize the Re
publican party if they failed In their
plan to capture the convention.
It is not believed that -lther Captain
Molr, Mr. Davles or Mr. Westpfahl was
cognizant of the general details of the
Pcranton-Fellows conspiracy. The
manifest reluctance of these gentlemen
to go to the extremes mapped out by
Scranton and Fellows leads Inevitably
to the conclusion that they had not been
fully consulted, and had not In advance
assented to this wretched attempt to
ruin their party If they failed to rule
It. These would-be leaders of Republi
canism in this city and county have
more than once before this misappre
hended and misunderstood the temper
of the Republican masses. Once more
they are over-estimating their own im
portance and permitting vaulting am
bition to o'erleap Itself. They will not
be permitted to rule the Republican
party and they do not possess the power
to ruin it. .They have tried this be
fore and wretchedly failed. Joseph A.
Scranton and John H. Fellows may be
able to delude a small number of un
thinking Republicans and lead them
Into wrong ways, but more than nine
tenths of the men who constitute the
Republicanism of this city nnd county
are true to themselves and loyal to their
party, and cannot be led astray by self
constituted leaders whose only pre
dominant characteristic is selfishness,
and whose political acTs are more fre
quently dictated by petty Jealousy and
personal hatred than by political prln
etple or by considerations of loyalty to
the party to which they profess adher
ence, -
Whether the gentlemen who are the
first choice of the bolters' convention,
or others, shall In the ensuing' cam
palgn constitute an Independent Re
XjajftUcan ticket, Is of comparatively lit
tie consequence. No matter how such
a ticket shall be constituted it cannot
command enough votes -to encompass
the defeat of the regular Republican
ticket nominated by the regular Re
publican convention at Music hall.
If there ure abuses within the Repub
lican party In Philadelphia, the
party itself can no doubt right
them without aid from the Democracy.
Democratic anxiety for municipal re
form in that city is-Am palpably self-Interested.
The Chicago rtanncr.
"We have been looking with horror at
the deliberate attempt to exterminate a
peaceful and historic people, the Ar
menians. The policy and traditions of
our people are against our Interference
by force of arms. We, citizens of Chl
cugo, in mnss meeting assembled, as
fellow Christians with a common an
cestry, appeal to you to stop this con
tinued wholesale slaughter. If circum
stances which your government cannot
control render this impossible at this
time In Turkey, we respectfully suggest
thut you. with or without the co-operation
of other powers, endeavor to ar
range for the bringing of the Armeni
ans to the coast and thence to pome
country where their lives will be spared.
We pledge you the co-operation of our
people In this undertaking In every pos
sible way. We are sure such hardy, in
dustrious and fruijnl tillers of the soil,
if caved for until they become accus
tomed to their new environment, would
be gladly welcomed by the people of the
I'nlted States or other countries."
This was the message sent simul
taneously on last Sunday nirht to
Queen Victoria and the czur of Russia,
by a committee acting In behalf of one
of the largest mass meetings of citi
zens ever assembled In Chicago. It
was a meeting representing all races,
creeds and classes and attended by
some of the most representative men In
the city. Mayor Swirt presided, and
umong the speakers were ex-Congressman
Qeorge E. Adams, Cleneral O. O.
Howard, Rev. P. S. lienson and Clara
Barton, of the Red Cross society. Com
plete reports of the speecfies printed
by the Times-Herald show that not one
voice was sparing in its denunciation of
the Jealous apathy with which Chris
tian Kurope has permitted the awful
atrocities in Armenia to proceed with
out Interruption, and of the almost
etiuul apathy evinced by the govern
ment of the I'nlted States, which, so
far as Is known, has not even protested
aguIiiHt the hellish work of the Turk,
except In so far as it has jeaporded
American property.
Commenting upon this fact, the
Times-Herald remarks:
The time for diplomacy has passed; the
mailed hum! must strike. What power
sliull level the blow? Not Great Britain.
The KiiKllsh conscience la dulled by the
jingle of the xiilneu. .Moreover, with the
recollection ot Kgypt In mind, Knuland
would not be permitted to exact Hinn
nuiry redress from the porte. Not Rus
sia, nor Gci'niuny, nor France. The dis
trustful powers must look to America to
bring "the shadow of Clod upon earth" to
book for the sins of his subjects. We
want no part of Huropeun or Asiatic soil.
We have no dreams of territorial agrand
izement. We do not measure Justice lo
our people with the yard stick. It is
enotttili thut American citizens have been
wronged, nnd the time Is at hand to dem
onstrate thut no sovereign Is so powerful
or reigns over a bind so remote that he
run unjustly deprive un American of his
life or bis goods nnd not pay hard for il.
Civilization will hull the appearance of
America us a stern mediator in behalf
of the Armenians and foreign residents
of Asia .Minor. Here is a cause In which
not alone this country, but all the Chris
tian world, will follow the president.
This will fullll requirements so far
as relates to Americans in Asia Minor,
but It will not help the Armenians.
They are bereft, deserted and starving.
Their only hope is in private American
generosity as shown in quick cash con
tributions. If that fails, they are lost.
The WIlkes-Barre Leader has added
a special supplement to the Philadel
phia Record's very complete almanac
for 18!)B and the consolidated product
Is an eye-opener in the way of first-class
calendars.
The Sober Second Thought.
Next to the dispatches of Mr. Henry
Norman to the London Chronicle, which
have been models of accuracy, enter
prise and sound judgment, and which
represent a type of journalism which
might well be more widely imitated in
America, the most Intelligent individual
expression yet made from an English
source concerning the Venezuelan af
fair Is that of Rev. W. Hudson Shaw,
when Interviewed In Philadelphia. Mr.
Shaw is well known to many Scran
tonluns by reason of his recent Uni
versity extension lectures in this city,
and his remurks upon this present
subject will therefore have additional
interest. After explaining that his
mission as a lecturer brought htm Into
touch with all classes of his country
men, among whom he found only the
friendliest feelings for Americans, he
continued:
"There is no single Englishman that does
not accept the .Monroe doctrine as laid
down by President Monroe, and whnt
might be called the extension to it which
holds that no European power should en
croach an Inch on this continent. The
peoplo say they do not want to encroach.
This Is, of course, what the Englishmen
as a people think. It is not what the poli
ticians say. The Venezuelan affair Is en
tirely a government matter. XTntll a few
weeks ugo but one out of every 10.U0O Eng
lishmen scarcely knew there was such a
country as Venezuela. The universal
opinion nt first was thut President
Cleveland's message was gent out
for political purposes. Now we be
lieve thut the Ilrltlsh government was
wrong and drew down President Cleve
land's anger Justly. We also think that
perhaps his letter could have been couched
In more diplomatic language. Hut we ac
cept the Justice of Mr. Cleveland's claim.
Lord Salisbury's action In refusing arbi
tration Is regarded as a political blunder
and I may say crime, by many right-thinking
Englishmen. In a mutter that lias
been under dispute for seventy years, ns
this has been, there must be something
wrong, and the difference should be set
tled by arbitration. I believe a great deal
of good will come out of this trouble. I
think It will be the cause of the formation
of a permanent arbitration court, that
can settle all such dltiputes between na
tions. I.t England and America keep the
peace for thirty years longer and they
can dominate the whole civilized world,
forcing them to remain peaceful. A wnr
would be ruinous lo both and only result
In benefit to othrr nations."
That Mr. Shaw voices the sentiment
of the Christian masses of England is
proved to our mind very conclusively
by the recent editorial of the London
Times conceding that Lord Salisbury's
refusal to refer the boundary dispute
to arbitration was a mistake; and (hat
this should yet be Jiis disposition of
the. whole matter. When this remark
able concession of the stlffest and most
truculent of Tory organs Is contrasted
with Its warlike tone immediately fol
lowing the first reading- of President
Cleveland' message, It becomes appar
ent that there has ttecn a noteworthy
reaction in British popular opinion.
The air of flippancy and sarcasm- 1
gone; the subject is being cons.uered
seriously and under a sense of its tre
mendous possible significance not only
to England and to the United States,
but also to civilization. That this pre

nation of the difference is practically
certain. The Christian Intelligence of
this age and day would permit no other
outcome.
Senator Quay has gone to the trouble
of denying that he and Dave Martin
have become reconciled. The senator
evidently thinks that even the virtue
of magnanimity has its limits.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The conservative Philadelphia Ledger Is
disgusted with the United States senate,
but It Is tin lust and unfair when it lays
the responsibility for the "cussedness"
of thi, HcniLle nn the Iteollbllcatlri. 1 hat

The Indications all point to a solid Reed
delegation from the New England slates.
The sentiment Is not only solid but ap

ritory outside of New England, New York

nomination Is not yet settled.
The next poll I leal con tests In Pennsylva

national conventions. This will be a great
year for politics and politicians will nave
their hands full from now on until next
November. The fact is thut all public
orllcers from president down to ward con

four years, and all elected at tho same

The Republicans of Nebraska have a

The Republican .nurty has been growing
very rapidly In Scranton and Lackawanna
county of late years, but it is not yet
too large to be contained In one party.
A few Scranton Republicans seem to
think there ought to be two Kepuoncnn
parties here, but there will not be not
this year.
The Kentucky legislature Is divided, the
Republicans controlling the house and the
Democrats the senate. On Joint ballot the
two Populists hold the balance ot power,
which Is a trifle awkward for both Dem

lists are fully aware ot tneir importance,

CANNOT BE BEATEN.
From the Scranton Truth.
In accordance with this well-established
usage Colonel Ripple comes before his
fellow-citizens with an unclouded title
as the Republican candidate for mayor of
Scranton, the lawfully chosen delegates of
his party having, by the voice or the ma
jority, made hiin their choice with a de
gree of heartiness and sincerity that could
not be mistaken. That a minority of the
delegates elected, and who were pledged to
the support ot Captain Mjoir, saw tit to
withdraw from the regular party conven
tlon anil nominate a ticket of their own,
which had been previously agreed upon,
does not alter this fact. The minority
withdrew because it was a minority, und
in doing so It unconsciously paid the ma
jority the tribute of possessing the power
to dominate the lawful action of the con
vention. This movement, evidently, was not In
accordance with the views expressed by
Captain .Molr nt the meeting of his friends
in Fuller's hall, on the evening before
the convention, where he put the stamp
of his disapproval on bolters, Independ
ents and kickers, for whom he avowed
a pronounced dislike. This declaration
discounted In advance the action of his
zealous supporters, und virtually left them
without recognized leadership In their
revolt, because if he who had made the
fight showed no disposition to carry it for
ward on Independent lines, those less con
cerned In the outcome could hardly be ex
pected to march forward with his griev
ance, leaving himself behind. Captain
Molr is a man of undoubted courage as
well as common sense, und, before the con
vention which his In nomination yester
day, he defined his position with manifest
candor. It Is evident from his remarks
that he wilt not be an independent can
didate for mayor, and the contest will
eventually settle down between Colonel
Ripple and the nominee of the Democratic
party, whoever that gentleman may 6ei
