TWO OPINIONS , ARE FILED
Views of Judyes Kcyardinj Twentieth
Ward Muddle Set Forth.
JUDGE EDKAKDS DISSEEXTS
lie Docs Not Agree with the Conclusions
of Judges Arehbald and Gun-stor-lloth
Opinions Are
Given in Full.
Opinions were handed down yester
day by Judge R. VV. An hbald and
Judge H. M. Edwards In the matter of
exceptions to the certificates of nomi
nation filed by two sets of Twentieth
ward Democratic candidates. The mat
ter was disposed of on Monday by the
court and jesterday Juilse Arehbald
handed down his opinion which la con
curred In by Judge Gunster giving the
reasons why they believe both certifi
cates of nomination are Invalid.
Judge Edwards could not endorse
the conclusions of his brother Judgxs
and tiled a dissenting opinion in which
he lucidly sets forth his views concern
ing the matter. The opinion of the
court llled by Judge Arehbald Is as fol
lows: This was not a primary election, but a
ward convention or caucus held 'liy the
voters en masse, at which euch one cast
his vote for the candidates direct. Ths
act of June lm (P. I VM regulat
ing prlmury flections does not therefore
apply (compare comth, vs. Kldgewav 111
Phlla. ul!i) und it is Immaterial whether
the election board were sworn or not, or
did or did not subscribe to an oath. Now
assuming that this was intended In the
beginning as a lemocratlu caucus, have
any rules been shown us to reaulute its
conduct, although In that view the call
y tne city committeeman of the ward
under authority from the city party or
ganizatlon wuuld seem to be regular. The
mere circumstance also that the pulls
were not opened at the exact place des
ignuteil, would not seriously affect the
proceedings. By the common consent
of those present when the election board
was organized, a room in the front of the
hotel was used Instead of the hall In the
rear. The two places were In such close
proximity that no one coining to the polls
would tie iiKeiy, so long as but one of them
wus occupied, to be at all mislead. Later
on with both caucuses running, it might
be different.
Were this all there were to the case,
there would be no difficulty in disposing
of It. Notwithstanding the fact that
the call by the ward committeeman
did not designate It as a Democratic
caucus, if it was actually and honestly
understood and carried on as such, the
nominations would be entitled to stand
us they are certilled. But this far from
represents the result. Soon after the vot
lng began, well known members of the
Republican party presented themselves
at the window to vote, and a discussion
was hud between the members of the ele
tion board about allowing It. Two of
them favored and two were against It
one of the former being the Judge, The
ui'Ndinent was then advanced that it was
not a Democratic hut a cll.zeii s caucus,
und that If any one would sweur to sun
port tli nominees, he was entitled to vote
ut It. This seems to have prevailed, und
thereafter no one was rejected on account
of his political faith, although by a some
what peculiar construction Democrats
were at onco received without challenge,
while those of supposed Republican pro
cllvltes were required to take the oath
If It be conceded that ths caucus
started under Democratic auspices from
this point on It bore no such character,
The very basis of the admission of these
voters was that it was a general cau
cus of all citizens, and not those of any
particular party, and by that decision it
must stand. It needs no argument for the
position that a Democratic caucus or con
vention is one held by those who believe In
or adhere to the principles of that party.
Just as a Republican or Prohibition rou
ventlon Is one held by those who respect
ively advocate Republicanism and prohi
bition.
Not a Party Nomination'.
If Republican voters are run Into
Democratic caucus or Democrats into a
Republican, a nomination so seX-ured Is
not a party nomination, and has no right
to be palmed off as such. To sanction
It would be to permit of a fraud upon the
self-respecting members of both parties.
who are above such actions. If voters
may float In numbers suited to the occa
sion from one caucus to another: we shull
have the worst elements of both parties
directing and controlling the nominations
of each and the sooner this la recognized,
the better. The plain object in the use
of such means is to secure at all hazards
the influence 'and advantage ot the party
organization, the aegis of the party name,
Hut if the acquisition of this privilege,
however unwarrantably obtained is to
receive public sanction, it simply puts a
premium upon dishonesty and fraud. Such
masquerading under the parly colors.

Justice Is administered.
Specimensof Fraud.
The throwing down of party dlstln?
Hons In the present Instance, produced
its natural result. Not only were Re
publicans admitted, but little if any re
straint was in the end put upon anybody.
Mr. iltbbons, one of the clerks, testifies
that after night closed In, no attempt
was made to Identify those who appeared
at the window but their Votes were taken
In, without knowing whether they were
residents of the ward, or citizens or what
not, und at times they were received so
fast that he could not write down their
numes. One man Is proved to have voted
three times, and another man twice. How
many more Indulged in these high politics,
we do not know. To let this puss as a
Democratic caucus woulj be a libel on
the party. x
It is said, however, that not enough
votes of this kind are shown, to affect the
result; but that Is not to the point, nor Is
it even so. It is conceded that sixty-live
of seventv Republicans voted, but it Is
claimed that there were twice that num
ber and a list of ISO was In fact produced
before us. The truth is that the way
things were conducted, no one can say
just how many there were. And how shall
we number or purge the poll of those who
voted a second or a third time? While
Mr. Gibbons for school controller had a
majority of 130. the candidates for -the
other offices had much less, McGrall for
councilman having 1:51. McMurray for
constable W. Cahllln for assessor 78. while
Ruddv for alderman had but 8. How are
we going to work with these varying fig
ures? Can we sustain the nomination of
some on this paper and reject others ac
cording as they might or might not have
been selected by other than a party vote?
It seems to us not. They are one and all
returned on the same certificate as nomi
nated at a caucus of voters representing
the Democratic party or policy of the
state of Pennsylvania. The proofs are
that they were nominated at a caucus of
at which sav the best of It every one
of whatever party was admitted, i nis
very course being advocated. It was a
caucus of citizens Irrespective of party.
If this be so. the nominations, sustained
by however many or few votes they mny
he. and whatever be the political faith
of those nominated, do not represent the
Democratic party or policy and are not
entitled to come under that name and
the certificates which so designate them,
are Invalid.
, dominations of llannlck nnJ Others
We have little to say of the second set
of nominations. No more right to stand
as the nominees of the Democrats of the
ward exists In their case than In the oth
ers. They were tne outcome oi a wiung
convention, set up In the hall instead ot
the parlor of the hotel, and many, proba
bly the most, of those who voted there,
some forty-seven In all, had already vot
ed at the other place. We have no doubt
of the right of those who withdrew from
the first caucus, to do so, ami muse to oe
bound by Its action In admitting any and
everybody to vote. But this was all they
could do ror tne Time, iney coum not
straightway organise another caucus, for
they had no basis to begin on. The mere
occupation of the hall, the place named;
In the call of the word committee man
could not supply this, after a caucus In
recognized pursuance of that call had been
organized in the hotel parlor. The only
way was to start anew after due notice
under unother call from the committee,
man, or if he would not act from a suit
able number of Democrato voters who
would. As u protest asrialnst the validity
of the prlnctpae caucus:, the second is not
without effect. But as a. body entitled to
make Democratic nominations, we can
not sustain it any more than the other.
H. W. Arehbald. P. J.
Gunster J. concurs, dwards J, dis
sents. Judge Edward's Opinion.
The opinion In which Judge Edwards
dissents is aa follows:
The content in this case Is as to the val
idity or reKularity of two certificates of
nomination for ward offices in the Twenti
eth ward of the city ot Scrunton.
1. The caucus of Jan. 10 was culled by
Timothy Lavelle, a member of the Demo
cratic vlty committee. It was called by
him because- the rules of the Democratic
party In this city require that a member
for ward ottlces in iiiy particular ward
shall be called by the member of the
city committee representing that ward.
Luvelle was) the only ierson having au
thority to call a ruiii'UB. In making the
call he did not use the words "Democratic
caucus." It was not necessary, although
It would have been bet.tt r If he had. He
hud no authority to call any other than
a Democratic caucus. That it wus a call
for a Democratic caucus was well under
stood as thi result shows.
2. Before the polls were opened the con
tending parties selected a board of four
persons to conduct tlif- caucus. The vot
ers present acquiesced in the selection.
Two of the board represented one act
of candidates, the oilier two represent
ing their opponents. The board made an
attempt to be sworn. Jt wus not a very
successful one. They tried to conform in
this respect with the rofjulreiiienis of the
act of 1SX1. But 'the law does not re
quire thut they should Lie sworn. A cau
cus for. the nomination of ward officers is
not a primary election, it Is u ward
convention una beura the same character
in the eye of the law um a city or county
convention. Alter the polls were opened
the contending partiesi uud their friends
participated in the voting.
3. The caucus was c-alled to meet at
Corcorun's hall. The voting took place
in the parlor of Corcorun's hotel, the hull
being a part ot the hotel. The voting was
done through a window- from the outside.
This was done because it was more con
venient. Tlie candidates! and voters un
derstood this. There M no evidence that
anybody failed to vote on this account.
Total Number of Votes Cast.
4. A large number of votes were cast,
the total list being tin. A list or the vot
ers was preserved uml 1st before the court.
Due set of candidate were successful.
The majority for the ortlce of school con
troller was over 'Juu.
5. Soon ufter tim polls) were opened a
contention arose as to the right of Repub
licans to vote at a democratic caucus.
Challenges were made upon this ground.
It wus contended by a putt of the board
that the Republicans of the ward, being
largely In the minority, hud u right to
vote ut the caucus bcoause they would
have no caucus or candidates of Ihcir
own, und thut they otinht to have u voice
In the selection of the nominees. Several
such votes were taken tinder a challenge
und subsequently without chullenge. The
nilinb-.- of these votes was llxed by one
witness at -"!, and estimated by another
at Im. These votes did not change the re
sult. However pluuslhle the contention.
It was u mistake lor Itepubllcuns to vote
at this Democratic caucus, i'nder no cir
cumstances can a Republican vote at a
Democratic caucus, or a Democrat ut a.
Republican caucus. Trie board hud no
right to receive such votes even If the
voters were willing to swear that they
would support the nominees of the caucus.
I think I tie board and the voters were hon
est in their action, but they were mls
tuken. Nevertheless 1 am clearly of the
opinion thut the character of the caucus
was nut changed. It was and remained
a Democratic caucus.
il. After ti o'clock several of the voter,
dissatisfied with the net I on of the beard,
agreed upon, went upstairs to the hnll,
selected another board, and voted for
their nominees. Forty-seven votes were
cast. Most. If not alt. of the persons
casting these voles haci already voted at
the other caucus. There is no possible
way In which the certificate of Nomina
tion of the nominees ot this second cau
cus ormeetliiK can have any standing un
der the law on tho official ballot.
Salient Fact tn the Case.
The salient fact In this case Is, thut over
600 Democrats met In trie Twentieth wunl
to select their nominees for ward otllces.
The record of their aetion Is before us.
Shall we nullify their action and set their
will aside on mere technicalities? The
tendency of Judicial conn t ruction is to give
efTect to and not to frustrate the will of
the voters. Our court tias already taken
a decided stand In this direction. In the
marking of ballots, w e- have held that
where the intention of the voter can be
cleat ly guthered from trie ballot we count
it, although It Is not marked according to
the technical requirements of -the Raker
bullot luw. And the courts have gone so
far as to hold that an election without a
proclamation 'will be sustained If it ap
pear thut -the electors hud a general
knowledge of It. When the member of the
Democratic committee called the caucus
of Jan. 10, did not the democrats of the
Twentieth ward know that It was to be a
Democratic caucus. The result shows
they did, because they attended in unu
sually large numbers. If votes were Im
properly and illegally received they should
be thrown out. This is the law governliiK
general elections. We have no rlirit t.i
disfranchise several hundred voter be
cause twenty-nine or sixty-five persons
oted. who hail no rljtht to vot, whiih-r
tr-ev vi.'ed mistakenly or nit. If such
iiilion I correct, the recslvin r of one
vote Improperly und under tho circum
stances detailed would destroy the general
charcter of the caucus).
My ruling in this case Is in the same
line with my ruling in -the Sixth ward
case, and 111 the Seven 111 ward case, heard
ubout a year ago. Two cnucuses were
held in each of these cases. There were Ir
regularities in the call for the caucus In
euch case, but the principle on which both
cases was decided Is tlie same principle
on which I decide the present contention,
that If the will of th muiorltv of Hie
voters can be ascertained it must stand.
For these reasons 1 dissent from tne
judgment of the court entered In this
case. 1 consider the certificate of nomi
nation s Inn ed bv Judge, millions und
Mueller valid and that fhe candidates
named therein should be placed on the
ofliclal ballot in the Democratic column.
The other certificate of nomination 1 con

in a recent Interview by a Now Or

certain extent my characters nre drawn
from life, though never exact lHirtralts.
My favorite heroine Is Mam'sclle In my
oi..v in a Aiottern Heathen. No. .
rarely urge aspirants to take up a lit
erury career. .Success Is obtained only
i me price ot tne most exhausting- la
bor." Although Mrs. Collins' writing has
always been a labor of love, yet such
Incessant mental exertion could not fall
to nuve its eliect on her nervous sys
tem. At onetime 8he found herself tired
out and weak from her uninterrupted
work; she became nervous and Incap
able of work; she even saw nervous
prostration staring her In tne face. The
general toning up that her system
needed so badly she found in l'aine's
celery compound. Today she Is per
fectly well and xtroug again, busy us
ever with her brain and pen, and grate
ful to Pulne's celery compound for the
timely help when failure and trouble
and despulr seemed about to close
round her and shut her off from every
thing that was dear.
"Your constant brain work must tell
on your strength," observed the repor
ter. "Yes; you have no Idea how much.
I am at my desk for nine or ten hours
a tluy," she replied. "I am careful to
obey the laws of health, and I am never
without a supply of l'aine's celery
compound. When I feel weak and ner
vous and there Is a heaviness in my
brain or a shooting pain over the eyes,
which warns me that my energy is
tiugging.I take a little of the compound,
and I nin strong nnd froo from pain at
once. I never enjoyed Hitch buoyancy
of spirits and soundness of body before
I made the acquaintance of Falne's
celery compound. Hcarcely a day pass
es that I do not urge some friend to
take It. For neuralgia, indigestion,
nervous prostration and blood disor
ders, I am convinced that there Is noth
ing like Paine's celery compound. I
am not -surprised that physicians use
it In difficult cases."
Paine's celery compound Is found to
best supply the great need ot studios,
sedentary people. Its extensive use by
brain workers, both men and women,
suffering from sleeplessness, Indiges
tion or other effects of a deficient nerve
force, shows Its ability to feed tired,
emaciated, nervous tissues. Nothing
else has ever possessed anything like
the power of Paine's celery compound
to restore a healthy nervous tone to
the entire body, nndi to thoroughly
cleanse the blood. School teachers.pro
fessiunal men. newspaper men, minis
ters, nubile officials, men whose dally
outlay of vitality, because of hard,
trying, anxious work, is excessive, find
renewed strength, not only of the
nerves, but through their healthy ac
tion, of the entire body. In Paine's
celery compound. Its use shortly dis
r.els headaches, rheumatic pains, dys
pepsia, heart trouble, general debility
and languor, und all other outward
signs of the grave mischief that comes
from disordered nerves and Impure
blood.
