Mr. Scranton, who first dragged the
Sreen Ridge Methodist church Into uni
ties, now "deprecates" Ms work, lie
night to.
Captain Hoir's Letter.
Captain Molr, In his letter, printed
laewhere, denies that he was In the
Wanton-Fellows conspiracy to wreck
he Republican party, and says his
ondldacy for mayor stood on Its own
ootlnR. We have not Intimated other
vise; the plotters are too old in their
ricks to let too many Into a knowledge
if their real plans. Molr was their llg
irehead. The real animus lurked be
lind him.
The captain Intimates that he has
leen Ill-treated In some way. Does he
orget that In his name, months before
lie primaries, the Scranton Itepubll
nn, under Its "Independent Republican
an, under Its "Independent Republi
can" caption, threw down a chullenge
o the regular party organization and
orced a light of which, as it since ad
nits, Mnir was only un incident? The
:aptain had a perfect right to aspire to
he mayoralty; that right has never
leen questioned. Rut he had no right
o expect that those whom Scranton
ibusively attacked under cover of his
iandlducy should sit patient under the
irdeul and turn the other check, lie
otercised his right to be a candidate;
te made his fight for the nomination;
le was fairly) beaten. Does that justi
y hint or his Republican supporters in
rying to turn the government of the
ilty over Into Democratic hands?
Captain Molr wastes his loyalty on
Ur. Scranton. It will not be appre
ciated. No man ever got true gratitude
'rom Scranton for fealty rendered or
'avors done. To be sure, this is his
iwn look-out. We are merely throw
UK this bit of advice in, us an evidence
f good will. If Captuin Molr hud re
!ued to be a party to- any bolt; If he
lad squureii bravely up to his duty
ioward his party, he might have risen
from momentary defeat to almost any
leslred victory In the future. That he
las fallen between two buttle-llnes
without good standing in either is u
nlsfortune which points anew to the
langerous consequences of evil polltl
lal companionship.
In the Scranton Republican's opinion
R'e presume it Is all right for Mr.
Scranton to enter into alliances with
Democratic candidates, hold secret
inferences with them behind screened
windows and give and exact pledges
if support. lie, no doubt, is a privi
leged character.
A Word in Review.
The Scranton Republican is becom
Jig comical. When it says The Tri
sune "has not disproved a single one
if the many specific charges of cor
ruption that have been boldly made"
try it in pursuance cf its proprietor's
premeditated plot to wreck the party to
shose coat-tails he has been clinging
tor support ever since he became of
ige, it states what it knows and what
its readers know to be untrue.
The Republican specifically made
four charges, and only four. The first
was that in the Twelfth ward Kmll
Bonn and others had to open a new
polling place." We have shown the
reason for this action, which was be
:aune the owner of tht original polling
place would not admit one of the regu
lar vigilances, but tried to turn it .Into
a rump mucus, contrary to all party
rules. The second was that in the
first district of . the Nineteenth the
ballots were not counted, but that the
return was arbitrarily fixed by the vig
ilance. Our reply to this charge was
presented yesterday lA the" form of affl
Javlts by Charles Hamm and Joseph
Bchrelber, the vigilances, denying: the
charge completely. The third was that
In the Fourth district of the. Nine
teenth Committeeman Wolf threw the
Molr tickets on the floor, placing Ripple
tickets 'in tho box This charge Mr.
Wolf denies under oath and cor
roborated by on uflldavit from his fel
low vigilance. Mr. Wolf also swears
that the Molr delegate hlmt-elf tried to
stuff the ballot Iiok, also, his brother-in-law-.
Tin- fourth und last specific
charge related to the Pirst district of
the Fifteenth, ward, and again we met
tho Republican's charge- with two affi
davits und u signed letter, to which
has since been added an affidavit from
tho Republican's own witness admit
ting that the count was fair.
Of the Republican's hearsay rumors
we have taken no notice and shall not
until the organ of the wreckers puts
Its charges into specific and detailed
form. Then we will meet every charge
fairly and frankly, with legal evidence
In rebuttal. As to the general charge
that Democrats voted at the primaries
on January 4. we have only to say that
for every vote thus cast for Kipl: we
can point to one cast also for Molr.
The Republicans of this city will re
spectfully decline to pull Seranton
Fellows chestnuts out of the fire.
Slandering the City.
There Is one aspect of the present
fight of the Republican party in this
city against the vultures who have
plotted to pick it to pieces to which we
now refer for the llrst time. It is the
effect of the kickers' calumnies upon
the city's reputation throughout the
state. At home, the falsity of their
hue-and-cry Is known and understood.
Here, their slanders are effectually dis
counted; first, by reason of the lack of
character of the men who are foremost
In uttering them, and secondly because
it Is understood that the present fusil
lade of falsillcatlon Is part of a precon
ceived plot hatched months ago with a
view to J. A. Scranton's political resur
rection. Rut at a distance it Is not so easy
for spectators to grasp these details.
Some who read only Mr. Scranton's pa
per, which they recognize as having
been the first Republican organ to be
established In the city, have no alterna
tive than to believe that, the Republi
cans of Scranton who supported Col
onel Ripple, Mr. Williams and Mr. Wld
mayer at the recent primaries were
mainly thugs, cut-throats and corrup
tlonlsts; und that the party leadership
In Scranton Is held by men of satanlc
characteristics 'against the protests of
dove-like purists and unwinged angels
such as Mr. Scranton, Mr. Fellows and
Mr. Dale now represent themselves to
be. More than that, they are liable to
form the Impression that the municipal
government of Scranton Is a sink of
corruption, and that every other citizen
In those parts Is ready either to buy or
to sell his vote to the highest bidder.
In other words, the work which the
Scranton Republican is doing these
days Is not only hurtful to Republican
Ism at home but injurious to the city
ubroud, carrying where they cannot
easily be met and refuted Impressions
as false ns they are damaging.
Among the Republicans who support
ed Captain Molr ut the recent primaries
there ought to be very few who can view
with equanimity 'such a wanton black
ening of the city's reputation. A fair
and manly light for a party honor Is
one thing; but the cowardly work or
the sneak and of the Mar Is quite an
other. Legitimate difference of person
al preference at political primaries is
no excuse for deliberate personal vilill-
cutlon and the wholesale slander of
city und of party. Kven the despera
tion of a trickster ut the end of his
lust halter does not cancel party obli
gations covering a lifetime of mainten
ance In profitable political olllce nor
Justify the attempt to taint a whole city
with the virus of his Individual venom.
After Molr who will be the next one
for Scranton to throw over us no longer
of any use?
The Reformers' Purity fund.
We have received Information from
what we deem to be a trustworthy
source that on Tuesday morning last,
In the private office of Mr. Scranton In
the Republican building, a fund of $!,H0
was made up by prominent Republi
cans for use In the campaign in un at
tempt f6 elect Bailey, Roland and Rob
inson, the Democratic nominees. The
names of these contributors ure known
to us, but are for the present with
held.
It might be asked what reformers of
the Scrunton-Fellows-Dale type could
possibly want to do with $9,0W or any
other large sum of money In a city
campaign, since they are all so violent
ly opposed to what the Republican
state platform calls "the corrupt use
of" money at elections." If It were a
convention Instead of a general elec
tion, Mr. Fellows might remember
what he unsuccessfully tried to get A.
B. Stevens to do for him "with the
delegates;" but as it Is, the putpos-.e
of the latest fund can only be con
jectured.
Is there any connection between the
raising of this big sum of money by-
Republicans in aid of Democratic can
didates, and the remark of the Demo
cratic candidate who recently told a
friend that he "didn't intend to put a
cent into the canvass, he would be
taken care of anyhow?" Can It be
that the present Democratic candidates
were Induced to run by the assurance
of financial support from the bolting
Republican coterie? This matter would
repay investigation.
It Is for Hyde Park to say whether
Johnny Fellows Is to gather another
Welsh scalp.
The opinion of Judge Edwards In the
Twentieth ward case is receiving com
pliments on every hand for Its clear
ness, its logic and, above all, its com
mon sense. The opinion from which
it dissents Is a long and rambling docu
ment, the general application of which
would tend to do away with party
nominations and land nearly every
ticket in the Citizen's column. Judge
Kd wards makes no mistake In caring
more for the Justice of a case than
for Us unimportant technicalities.
Taking its cue from Scranton's morn
ing Democratic organ, miscalled the
Republican, the Democratic Philadel
phia Record says of the local fight that
"the penitentiary yawns for some of
the - Republican adepts in election
frauds." It is a pity it does not yawn
for the plotters who deliberately and
maliciously slander the Republican
party In Scranton.

The election of delegates to the R;-jcih
Ucan national convention from the Dis
trict of Columbia took place Tuesday.
The contest was quite spirited, but ni
blood was shed, allhouuh a good ileal of
It was spilled during the campaign. Vic
peatlng was Indulged In freely. There
were twenty-two voting district, and
many colored residents of the lir.ltlct
who hail never before had the privileg e of
casting n ballot voted at all the prdlln
places. As a result of this promiscuous
and liberal balloting nearly S.'i.OOO votes
were polled. There were a dozen or more
candidates, black and while, and tin
rivalry was very spirited. The success
ful candidates wore An'iy Cleesoti, an
irishman, und Perry Carson, a tiegrj.
This pair has represented the District
of Columbia In all the Republican national
conventions since the citizens of the Dis
trict were disfranchised many years :u:o.
Heretofore CHeeson and Carson wi-
friendly, but they had a fulling out time
ytars ago, and euch one had new running
mates this trip. A singular fact of the
result wus that both Oleeson and Carson
the successful candidates, had nearly Hi,
same Mite, tlie former beating the latir
only twenty-nine out of a total of nearly
:i.'i,ln) votes cast.
Andy (Uceson Is a strong Heed man,

the speaker and assured him that h
would have at least one vote for prsi

which the "supe" receives ere small
while the gibes and kicks evt n from those

In which he figured at tne recent primary
elections In the Fifte-.-ntS ward. The In-
pu-ui Kins riven to mm on tna-. o.-essiou

stf-neh and smoke, hoping thus to hide the
true cause of their hostility to the Repub
