An Appeal for Fair Play.
Jly Iiepubllcans among whom party
loyalty rises suiterior to personal preju
dlre, the present attempt of certain
men, hitherto RepubllrunH, to disrupt
the party because of the 111 will whleh
they bear to the dominant party lender
nhi Is regarded with prowiiiK aversion.
Had It been established that Captain
Molr and his colleagues on the so-called
'Independent Republican" ticket, were
defeated unfairly at the recent pri
maries, thus .millifyliiK the honest party
will, the duty of the party would huve
been clear. Under such circumstances
tho purty would have owed It to Its
self-respect to refuse, ut whatever cost,
to permit candidates, thus unfairly
nominated to be foisted u;on It. Upon
this point there can be no division of
honest opinion, since, the very life of
Republicanism Is sustained by the
vital principle of fair und reputable ma
jority rule.
It Is in one sense a compliment to the
professions of thu party that the
men who have since confessed that
they used Captain Molr und his asso
ciates merely as "Incidents" in a pre
conceived plan of party betrayal for
personal advantage, should have made
their appeal upon the false ground of
fraud In tho nominations. ThoiiKh
their own motives in the presentation
of such an appeal were base, though
they were, ns most Republicans now
know, simply "wolves masquerading in
sheep's clothing," yet they paid trib
ute to the party's Inherent love-of fair
ness when they thought to enlist that
feeling In their behalf by a misrepre
sentation of the facts. Fortunately, the
great mass of the Republicans of Scran
ton are judicial In temperament, and
do not reach a conclusion nfter hear
ln only one side. They have suspend
ed judgment until the side which was
ffilsHy arraigned could enter Its de
fense, and the unequivocal complete
ness of that defense has won Instant
anil general favor. ,
We are repeating what is already
known to most of our regular readers
when' we say that every specific. charge
of fraud at the primaries brought by
the bolters against the Republican city
ticket has been met and refuted by
cumulative sworn testimony, the tenor
of which was that the caucuses of Jan.
4 were fairly and squarely conducted,
with not more than the usual number
of minor Irregularities common to both
sides In a spirited factional contest;
that the counting was occurate and
straightforward, and that the nomina
tion of Slessrs. Ripple, Williams and
Wldmayer was In obedience to an hon
est expression of a majority .preference
by the duly qualified Republican elec
tors of Scranton. This being conceded,
what becomes of those who are asking
Republicans, in this Important presi
dential year, to forget their party and
Its principles 'and to turn the govern
ment of the city over to the Dem
ocracy? Are they revealed as true Re
publicans and as safe councilors or as
false Republicans and as plotters for
their party's undoing?
To Republicans who are yet confused
by the false clamor of the men who
have waged war on the party which
has hitherto sustained them In posi
tions of honor and of profit, we sug
gest that the political records of these
men be studiously compared with the
records of those of whose success as
party leaders they are now envious.
Let the comparison be made from any
standpoint whether from that of per
sonal Integrity, party loyalty or pub
lic generonlty and llberal-mlndedness.
It Is proper to do this; and the men
who ask Republicans to desert the
party of their choice and to enter upon
an experiment of coalition with the
Democrats should be willing to submit
their characters for such an Inspection.
If they are unselfish and disinterested
in "their motives; If their pas't Is clean
enough to give the color of sincerity and
broad-mindedness to their 'present pre
tensions, .then a comparison of. this
kind ought to be most welcome to them,
as It Is to their opponents. But if It
appears that these men who now ac
buse the Republican party leadership
In this city of unsubstantiated offenses
have themselves. In the past, been fre
quently and notoriously guilty; If they
who decry the corrupt use of money
and shout fraud are men who are
known to , have been, in-their day,
irross polluters-of -.the, franchise and
unhesitating manipulators of false bal
lot counts and fraudulent election re
turns, then will decent Republicans be
fully justified jih refusing to take such
'men for their guMes of poilUcal action
anil in declining to be "parties to their
attempt to betray Scranton Republican
ism into the enemy's hands.
But the case does not rest here. There
is In the present 'conspiracy against
reputable and progressive party leader
ship an element of meanness and of
maliciousness which commands the
reprobation of high-minded and hon
orable citizens regardless of party. We
have too- much respect for the fair
ness of our Democratic fellow-cl'.lzens
to believe that any considerable number
of them wish for the acquisition by
their party of Republican Jlenedlct Ar
nolds; or that they are so anxious for
the success of their own present local
candidates that they care to see them
elevated to ofllce by the aid of Republi
can traitors who would appropriate the
credit and try hard to steal the spoils
of such a victory, should Ripple and his
colleagues be beaten two weeks hence.
It is our observation that Democrats
are not different from Republicans In
admiring fair play; and however they
may enjoy a manly fight with an open
foe, they will. In our opinion, be this
time fully warranted In temporarily
laying aside the distinctions of party In
a manly resentment of the obvious and
premeditated political treason which
seeks to utilize Democratic candidates
In the working out of a contemptible
plot of Republican factional Jealousy
and revenge.
Will self-respecting Democrats take
pride in their new allies? Will they
care to be beholden to them?
- -
An Urgent Necessity.
Joseph Medlll, the noted editor of the
Chicago Tribune, while In Washington
lust week, took opportunity to remark
within the henring of u Tost reporter,
that of all the great problems now
pressing upon the American people for
solution the paramount one. in his
Judgment, was the question of defend
ing our coaHt and lake fronts from
possible Invasion by a foreign foe. I
am amazed1." said he, "ut the aputhy
und seeming Indifference of congress In
neglecting a mutter that concerns the
temporal welfare of millions of people,
theli property and their lives. In
stant authority should bo given the
president to Issue $1(10,1)110,01)0 of long
time bonds, bearing S per cent Inter
est, with which to fortify our seaboard
from Portland to (lalveston ami from
Sun Diego to Seattle, and to put every
town und city on the Great Lakes in a
condition of defense. The yearly In
terest on this would be only J3.000.000.
What a small sum for national Insur
ance! The total lire Insurance of tho
United States amounts to JiW.OOO.OOO
annually, and yet congress sleeps us
serenely as old Rip Van Winkle umoug
the highlands of the Hudson as though
a guaranty had been given by all the
nations that America Hliould be sucred
from assault.
"What la there," Mr. Medlll asked,
"to defend the capital Itself should
British ships of war steam tip the Po
tomac? What Is there to keep Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore from de
struction, by their modern long-range
guns; nnd what Is to save New York
from having to pay a ransom of mill
ions should the tlylng squadron de
mand the money us an alternative of
pillage, lire und devastation? We ure
totally at the mercy, so far as our coast
Is concerned, of any great power. We
know our helplessness and the strong
governments across the water know
that we must be cognizant of their ap
preciation of our Impotency. Yet we
go on from year to year taking no
steps for self-preservation. These de
fenses cannot be improvised; they
are not the work of a week, a month, or
a year. AVar may come in a moment
and find us totally without equipment.
Then the nation would touch the bitter
depths of humiliation; then the masses
would curse the legislators, who, with
blind folly refused to expend a few
millions for life and homes and honor;
then history would record the greatest
disgrace that ever befell a people."
The opinions of Chicago's veteran
journalist upon this subject are shured
by millions of his countrymen. Only
the other day we received from a Chi
cago publishing house. Way & Will
lams, the advance sheets of a little
pamphlet soon to be issued with a view
to exciting congress to a realization of
Its duty In these premises. It Is a re
print of the once celebrated tract,
"The Battle of Dorking," which pur
ports to describe how a German ar
mada bore down upon England and cut
through the channel fleet; how the Ger
man forces, after landing, won a de
cisive battle against poorly equipped
English voluntee'rs who were rushed
to the front in defense of the Island;
how London fell and how, at last, the
whole British empire disintegrated, all
because English statesmen, regardless
of repeated warnings,- had failed to
provide adequately for the national de
fence. "The Battle of Dorking," re
mark the Chicago publishers, In an In
troductory note, "would be possible
today only on American soil."
How long shall such a possibility be
permitted to remain?
Senator Gorman's getting nut of na
tional politics reminds us of 'the boy
who got out of the farmer's orchard.
He retired voluntarily, because of the
farmer's boots.
A New Presidential Candidate.
The formal entry of Senator Cullom,
of Illinois, Into the race for the presi
dency is a fact of national Interest.
Senator Cullom is C7 years of age, and
his public career has been practically
co-extenslve with that of the Republi
can party. He was u presidential elec
tor on the Fillmore ticket lit 1M5C. In
the same year he was chosen a member
of the Illinois legislature, serving four
terms In all, during two of which he
officiated as speaker. He was a mem
ber of the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth nnd
Forty-first congresses; was twice
elected governor of Illinois and Is now
serving his third term In the United
States senate.
Senator Cullom Is one of the clean
handed, hard-headed, sagacious men
of the senate, In whom the party has
complete confidence and In whom it
takes honest pride. His position upon
every grave public; question since his
entry Into the Held of national legis
lation has; been 'in accord with the
solid Bense of the party masses, and
has been announced courageously and
held firmly, so that thercShas never
been any doubt about it. In foreign
affairs especially, he divides with Sena
tors Davis and Lodge the leadership
of the senate; and In his treatment of
the Armenian question, or the Cuban
question and of thu complication con
cerning Venesuelu he has sounded no
false note nor lowered by one lota the
honor of his country. Personally
even-tempered and democratic, he rep
resents, very much as Lincoln did, the
plain jieople; and should he become the
standard-bearer of his party In the en
suing campaign, there would be a rally
ing of the plain people to his support
such as has not been witnessed in a
presidential canvass since the war.
When asked, the other day, whether
he was a candidate for the presidency.
Senator Cullom made this dignllled and
manly reply:
"Tho olnee of president should not be
sought Htur by any man simply with a
feeling of anibifjon to secure the highest
ortlce In the gift of the American ptople.
While I have been in hlgli oilUial posi
tions for many years, as u representative
in congress, as governor of the state twice
elected ami having been three times elect
ed senator, yet with all my experience t
would feel greul luck or conildence In
my own titness anil qualification to be
president of the Untied States. Thu
i'nlted States Is beeomiiiH more and more
a controlling power In tho movements ot
the world, and only men of great presence
and statesmanship should be trusted to
guide us. The expression of friendship
tor me of late In connection with this is
gratifying to me, and I am frank to say
that 1 should ileini it thu greatest honor
of my life if the good people of my state,
In which 1 have lived nearly all my days,
whom 1 huve known bo well and whom I
have served so long, should honor me by
their support ut the national KepublU-iu
convention at St. Louis. 1 trust the lie.
publicans will see to-It that no cause
lor bitterness ill the party shall arise,
either In our state or nation, so tliut whfii
the campaign iigalnst the common enemy
begins the party will sland its a solid
phulunx for the m-n selected and the
principle declared until victory shall
crown Its efforts. The people of the Unti
ed Slates are anxious for Die day to come
when they cun lid themselves of Demo
cratic rule ami live ugain under a policy
which will bring buck better times to
all."
Of the men whose names are likely
to be presented to the St. Louis conven
tion, none will represent a higher meas
ure of fitness or a broader and cleaner
range of experience thun that of Shelby
M. Cullom, or Illinois. Should he be
nominated and considering how many
candidates are already In the field such
u compromise selection in the interest
of harmony Ik not Impossible the
party need not feel uncertain either us
to his election or to his ubllity to serve
us president with distinction und suc
cess. -
The fight of Major Penman against
Colonel Ripple for the mayoralty nom
ination, ten years ngo, was not ns spir
ited as was the battle waged by Cap
tain Molr last month; but the primar
ies were every whit us fulr last month
as they were ten years ago, when the
Scranton Republican found no fault.
But the Scranton Republican, In those
duys, wus u Republican puper.
So far as the press of Scrunton is
concerned, there Is entire unanimity In
favor of the vluduct. It Is to be hoped
thut the vote, two weeks from today,
will be similarly favorable; but the
work of uroiislnK Interest In this pru
dent und necessary public Improvement
should be pushed with as much vigor as
If the result were In doubt.
It Is easier to tear a party down than
to build it up. Republicans who take
pride in the party's recent successes in
this county und city will not cure,
upon the strength of fnlse repre
sentations by jealous fuctlonlsts. to re
tire the leudershlp tinder which this
progress hus been effected.
The manly course, after a fair fight
at the party primaries. Is to support the
successful ticket. The Republican who
Is unwilling to do this but who sets his
personal wish above the party law and
afterward works for his party's defeat,
is.'after all, better lost than kept.
Bayard's threat to resign should con
gress censure him suggests the thought
that Bayard should have carried out
that threat before givlngeongress cause
for its censure. ' '
The "almiglity dollar," of course,
never had any charm for Mr. Scranton
and was never used by him In politics.
The probability is that Bayard's res
ignation will not cause the president
any loss of sleep.
Wise Republicans will let the few
malcontents do their own bolting.
