Elcetlon Day. Fcb.8.
Moat of the disaffection In the Repub
lican ranks In Scranton seems to exist
mainly In the sanctum of the Indepen
dent Republican.
The Sober Second Thought.
The now rapidly dlnlnteBratlng bolt
Of fairly-beaten Republicans against
the excellent ticket which leads this
column has performed two services of
real benefit to the party. It has dem
onstrated to Republicans who are Re
publicans from principle that constant
vigilance and unremitted activity are
the price of party supremacy; ana It
has also revealed to the party following
In this city those so-called Republican
leaders who are loaders for personal
profit only, and put that following
henceforth on Its guard.
The tide has turned. If there ever
was a time when the .ostentatious at
tempt of a few malcontents to stam
pede Republican voters Into the Demo
cratic column looked as If It might
prove Injurious to the ticket, that time
has passed. Republicanism In this city
is taking Its sober second thought. The
claims of the party in a year which will
determine for a generation to come the
economic policy of the nation are re
ceiving at last that thoughtful consid
eration which temporarily was imper
illed by the artificial hue and cry ' of
the professional disturbers; and from
this moment onward until election day
the support nccordcd to the irreproach
able Republican city ticket will grow
steadily In both numbers and enthusi
asm. This is not mere assertion. It is a
statement bnsed on a careful canvass.
This canvass shows that what onco
looked as if It might prove a serious
hindrance to party victory has become
the uneonselouB Instrument of a wide
spread and determined revival of party
fidelity. Party loyalty has responded
to the challenge of those who have
threatened It with undisguised treach
ery; party pride has risen to the need
. of a vigorous reassertion; party Jus
tice has begun' to voice Its verdict
touching the unmasked plot of con
templated party betrayal.
From now on It will be simply a
question of majorities.
The people of Scranton don't want
any WJ'i national experiments repeated
this year in their municipal govern
, ment. In other words, they don't want
a second Democratic change.
In a Nutshell.
It has been figured out that the pro
posed viaduct would cost each Scran
tonlan only twopents. At this price.
Who can say that It Is too expensive?
The resident of Hyde Park, In com
ing to the central city, or the resident
of the central rltv or of the South Side
who goes to Hyde Park has to cross
eleven railroad tracks in all, the most
of 'which would be removed from hs
pathway by the viaduct. Whether he
walks, rides or drives, these tracks are
a constant menace to life and limb, a
hindrance to travel, an eyesore and a
vexation. It Isn't feasible to remove
the tracks, but the present disadvant
ages growing out of them can be obvi
ated. .by a viaduct. Such a viaduct
would benefit every Scrantonian.
An Improvement so urgently neces
sary deserves to be supported by ev
ery voter. It Is not a question of one
locality against another; It Is a ques
tion of progress for all the city, In
which all the city will share. '
A few words from Gladstone In dem
olition of the cynical Salisbury would,
be appreciated.
General Harrison's Retirement.
The formal announcement by Gen
eral Harrison that he Is not to be con
sidered as a candidate for another
presidential nomination and that not
with his consent will his name be used
at St. Louis has been for some time ex
pected by his close friends. The senti
uNioNt diDSHD
ment In his letter to Chairman Gowdy,
of the Indiana Republican committee,
that "there never has been an hour
' since he left the white house that he
-has felt a wish to return to It" is fa
miliar to those who have enjoyed Gen-
ral Harrison's confidence; and nothing
In the man's character or record In
duces the suspicion-that In this senti
ment he has been otherwise than sin
cere. Indeed such a sentiment Is nat
ural, for many reasons. Apart from
his personal bereavement while presi
dent, which alone would suffice to in
vest the executive mansion with the
sombre air of tragedy, there needs to
be, noted the fact that after giving to
' the country; during his four years' ser
vice, the best energies of his life and
i the ripest powers of perhaps the ablest
''; Intellect among American statesmen of
our generation; and after achieving a
, success In all. honorable public dlrec-
tlons such as has not been known since
th administration of Abraham Lln-
coin, his good, clean and conscientious
work was rewarded by the country
with a slap In the face as cruel and
cowardly and boorish. as It vas wholly
unwarranted.
DlsguiNe It how we may by
reference to the "exigencies of poli
tics." the fart of Cleveland's
election over Harrison In 1S9-J by
a majority hitherto unprecedented in
a time of peace can, under the circum
stances, be excused only upon the sup
position that republics, at times, are
not only ungrateful but also Irrational.
In Harrison the country had a presi
dent whose only faults were a con
scientiousness of action and a stubborn
loyalty to hlghcRt Ideals which, when
they brought him Into conllict with less
unselfish political advisers, would not
lower the etandurd of duty to pleaBe
the appetite of partisan greed. In all
other respects his record was without
flaw or blemish; and had he, in this di
rection, been more of a politician and
less of a man, the very ones who
dogged him to defeat would have been
the first to toss high their caps In
riotous acclaim. That upon so flimsy a
charge as that he preferred the Inter
ests of the whole people to the pur
chasable friendship of the spoilsmen,
Ben jam I n Harrison, after his splendid
administration, with prosperity never
mora manifest nor the public credit
never higher, should have been
overwhelmingly defeated, to make way
for the prosperity-wrecking, debt-creating
contingent of Incompetents which
followed with such disastrous conse
quences, will In future years give mar
vel to hlstoriuns and confusion to men
who hold the people capable of self
government. It Is not egotism, it Is
not pride, It Is not vanity In General
Harrison which renders hlin reluctant
to strive for a second opportunity of
being kicked and bruised and punished
for serving his country well; it Is a
natural Instinct of self-defense, which
Cues credit to his sagacity and honor
to his common sense.
At the same time, It is the simple
truth to say that the great majority of
tile plain people are sincerely repentant
of their Ingratitude, and that if th;y
could, they would undo the Injustice
of four years ago by giving to General
Harrison a larger testimonial of their
leasserted confidence and regard than
was ever the gift of a presidential can
didate before, In peace or war. We
thoroughly agree with thut observant
and , fair-minded Democrat, Colonel
Henry Wutterson, that General Hani
son is not only the ablest living man
in either party, but that, by reason of
his demonstrated sagacity, prudence,
conscientiousness and dignilled patriot
ism, he would be many thousand votes
stronger than any other Republican
whom the St. Louis convention could
name. The business men, the arti
sans, the workers of all degree except
those who "work" In politics realize
now. If they did not In ISA:', that Ben
jamin Harrison Is one man in ten thou
sand, that he Is a man who has the
breadth, the acumen, the loyalty and
the backbone of which great states
manship Is constructed, coupled with
ripe experience and a reputation al
ready achieved. The subtraction of
such a man from the list of presiden
tial possibilities Is nothing less than a
public misfortune.
The tide has turned. The Republican
ticket Is pafe. But while the light is
on Republicans might as well make It
a mod one.
Ignorant Criticism.
Some characteristically unfair and
undignifled comments are being made
Just now by a number of excitable
newspapers concerning the "monopo
listic coal barons" who, in "audacious
greed" have recently, after two years
or more of doing business at a net loss,
had the effrontery to make an effort to
get for their limited and rapidly ex
hauBtlng product a price that will re
imburse them for the time, labor and
money spent In mining anthracite coal.
From a mass of such careless com
ment we pick this excerpt from the
editorial page of the Lebanon Report
and present it as a fair sample:
Let us see the process. The coal klntfs
fiKree to restrlet the production of an
thracite coul to U.ouU.OOO tons yearly. This
artificial restriction upon the product Is
ut once followed by a rise In price an
nounced by 'the deulers. An artilielul tin.
der-supply and an arbitrary increase cf
cost to the consumer have been effected
at the nod of a few capitalist. It Is the
consumer who pays the cont. To him
It mny mean discomfort or oickness and
death; to the greedy combine of capital,
ists it means about $40,00t.ooo Increase to
their annual income. To men already
Wealthy i,t means more weulth and Mi-eater
ease; to the hard-working liuluxtriil
class It means harder work, more grinding
oppression. The coal pool Is an ontraKe.
an extortion, a deliberate robbery, yet
no one expects anything else, nml all will
sit supinely and tolerate It. The courts
of justice are helpless. The capitalists
whose word hus done the deed hold their
heads as high and claim as great virtue
ns their neighbors. They are In it for
business.
If the Report had cared to be accu
rate It would have investigated this
subject before delivering Its Impas
sioned verdict, in which case It would
have found that the proposed restric
tion not to 6,500,000 tons but to about
40,000,000 tons yearly was ordered sole
ly for the reason which keeps the Re
port from printing more papers each
day than It has subscribers or pur
chasers, in other words, because of the
fact that the market will not buy as
much anthracite coal, even at the for
mer cut prices, as has lately been
mined. If the business managers of
the Report and of the Daily News, of
Lebanon, after a time of useless com
petition during which both offices
wasted papers and lost money, should
get together, figure out the total num
ber of newspaper readers of Lebanon
and agree to print only enough papers
to supply regular customers and to
charge for those papers enough to pay
for the labor of printing them, for the
wear and tear of machinery, for Inter
est on the capital Invested and a little
beside, for profit. It would be neither
an "outrage," an "extortion" nor "a
deliberate robbery," but simply an ac
tion of equitable business prudence.
This Is what the producers and ship
pers of anthracite coal have done,
nothing less and nothing more.
We guess that when the Scranton
Republican says Ripple is a weak can
didate It knows better.
Prepare for Emergencies.
The remarks of Admiral Walker on
Monday before the house committee on
coast defenses were sensible and to the
point. While he would strengthen the
navy sufficiently to make It thoroughly
effective. In either war otj peace, he ex
pr""th belief that finder present 1
conditions our seaports could only be
defended by land defenses, to perfect
which would cost from $70,000,000 to
$100,000,000 and tequlre a period of years,
not under five at the very least.
The bill of Senator Squire appropri
ates for this purpose $87,000,000, -which
is a small premium to pay for insuring
the more than $87,000,000,000 of American
property now Jeapoided through the
absence of adequate coast fortifications.
The expenditure of tl;ta amount would
not fall all within one year, but would
be so distributed as to amount, at any
one time, comparatively to a mure
bagatelle. When It is remembered that
the wars of tue past thirty years havo
cost $00,000,000,000, not to Bay anything
of the 2,500,000 sacrlliced lives, the pru
dence of spending less than one three
hundredth of that sum in a safeguard
against war becomes at once apparent.
Under present conditions the United
States Is practically defenseless. The
logic of that circumstance is that It Is
dependent upon the good nature of oth
er nations for the recognition of rights
which a self-respecting nation ought to
be able at all times to command. While
we havo not yet been snubbed In conse
quence of our weakness, there Is no tell
ing how soon we may bo. Should ffng
land, for lnstunce, take It Into her head
to Ignore the Monroe doctrine and mock
at our protests, a contingency perhaps
Improbable but certainly not Impos
sible what could we do, with Knsllsli
warships menacing out const cities and
extorting millions of tribute from our
exposed seaboard?
An interesting eisteddfod will be held
In Pottsville on St. David's day, at
which ix-l'oslmaster General Thomas
L. James and Mr. H. J. Edwards, better
known perhaps as "Holland," the New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, will preside. Mr. James, In ad
dition to being one of the busiest bank
ers and :ublic men In Gotham, is an
enthusiastic Cambrian. Perhaps that
fact accounts for not a little of his suc
cess. Knoxville vigilantes have Just discov
ered that ten years ago they lynched
an Innocent man. As an atonement
they will probably set to work to lynch
the person now supposed to be guilty,
trusting to luck to vlndlcute their
Judgment.
Bayard's denial of the report that ho
had threatened to resign shows that
the deficiency In his sense of otllcial
propriety Is even worse than had been
feared,

ttonists to use them as tools will please

KEPI BLICANS AM) THEIR DUTY.
From the Providence Star.
The true, earnest mid faithful Repub
licans of the city of Hcramon were never
conronted in a municipal contest by a
stronger incentive than they are ut this
lime to be true to themselves, to their
pariy and to the best interests of the
cliy. Thoughtful and Intelligent Repub
licans will not be deceived nur led ustruy
by the hue and cry now raised about
"corruption, irregularities, fraud ami bai-lol-stiutlng"
at the late delegate elections.
As our readers know, for some time there
have been factional diversions among thu
Republicans. This resulted in two tickets
fur municipal olllces being slated, tint
one headed by Colonel Kara it. Hippie,
the other by Captain James Molr. Mow
let us brielly note the ditlereiice in tho
conditions under which these two tickets
entered the field.
" " I!
The supporters and promoters of the
Ripple ticket from the very beginning ot
the contest took the broad ground of Ken
nine, loyal Hepubllcatilsm. They said:
"We will go before the masses of the
purly, make 'the strongest light we can
for success, ami If we are beaten, we
will loyally support the victors." With
tills declaration the Ripple-Willlums-Wld-niayer
supporters went Into the delegate
elections. Sow note the contract. The
champions of the Alolr-Uavies-Westpfulil
ticket took no such broad ground. Their
organ, the Scranton Republican, holsied
this ticket to lis editorial head labeled
"Independent Republican!" J. A. Scran
ton John H. Fellows and other leaders
of that faction openly declared weeks be.
fore the delegate elections that If Colonel
Hippie won lu the nominating convention
they "would light him to the bitter end."
They went Into the battle for the nomi
nation with tne openly declared purpose
not to submit to the decision of the pri
mary elections If they were beaten. Their
plan of campaign had been pre-arranged
weeks In advance and was lu the nature
of a conspiracy to disrupt the Republican
pat ty If ithey could not have their own
way. That this is true is tuny mannesieu
in the proceedings, of the numerous fe
ci et meetings, held both before and im
mediately after the delegate elections,
their next move was to break up tho
convention in a row; or, falling In that,
to bolt, organize a rump convention and
place an Independent Republican ticket
In the field. The feheme to disrupt tho
Republican party and restore 'the Dem
ocratic party to power In this city was
carried out to the extent of a minority
bolt and the nomination of a second
ticket. The scheme only collapsed whan
Captain Molr refused to accept the rump
convention's nomination for mayor, ami
no Republican of charcter was willing
to accept.
H " . .
The next move of the conspirators was
to enter Into an alliance with the Iemo
crats for the defeat of the duly nominat
ed Republican ticket. And what Is the
pretext by which these malcontent con
spirators attempt to Justify their bsae
treachery to the uarty that has hon
ored 'them In the past? Let lis see! Tliey
allege In a number of districts that
elected Ripple delegates frauds were per
petrated, and numbers of Democrats were
permitted to vote. Weeks have utterly
failed to produce evidence to establish
fraud In even a slnsle Instance. As to
the allegation that Democrats voted at
the delegate elections there may be more
or less foundation for the charge, us there
has been In every delegate election held In
this and other cities and counties at
every such election for a dozen years. It
Is a noticeable fact t!t In not a single
instance have the party-wreckers given
a list of Democrats alleged to have voted
in any one district of the city. The truth
Is that all these charges are a mere pre
text on which to Justify and bolster up
their base treachery to the Republican
party.
I! II II
There are hundreds. If not thousands of
men In this city and county who are popu
larly regarded ns adherents of the Demo
cratic party, but who voted for Harrison,
for Joseph A. Scranton, for Hastings,
and other Republican candidate at each
recurring election, swelling the Repub
lican vote In Ihe city and county to such
proportions that the Iemocratic party
has been almost disintegrated. Large
numbers of t!it class of "Democrats"
have come to regard themselves as Re
publicans. Under our party rules the
man who voted for the head of the Re
publican ticket at the preceding general
election has a right to participate In the
pnrty's primaries. The lines cannot be
drawn with rigidity art such elections.
Does any sane man believe that the ma
jorities rolled up in this city and county
for Republican ''Udates like General
Harrison, for prt.'til; General Hast
ings for governor; Calusha A. Grow, for
congressman-at-large, were due to the
votes exclusively of actual, stralght-from-th-shoulder
Republicans? That
a number of this class of Democrats voted
at the recent delegate election Is possible;
and It Is only the truth to say that many
of them have a better right to be called
Republicans than such political free-boot'
ers ax derunion ami rellow.
h l II .
The condition now confronting the P.e
publicau of this cfty can be easily com
prelieiidej by tlio'Jghiriil, honest and
loyal party men. The ticket headed by
Colonel ttzra II. Kinrrte was honestiy
nominated. Thai ticket Is composed nf
true and honest Republicans entirely
worthy of the ronftdence and support of
every citsen who desires capaBle ana lion
est municipal government. Every can
dlilate on that ticket is a citizen of the
highest churacter. The charges or cor.
ruptlon and fraud at the delegate elcc
tlons have fallen to the around uikuk
mined, and In most ease havp been
proven absolutely unfounded. Malcontent
leaders may affect the vote for the Re
publican candidates, but they cannot de
feat them. Tliee men Rre rendered des
perate by defeat and reckless by disap
pointment ami rage. They would destroy
the nartv now that the narty has reiiiidl.
tiled their leadership. The time has come
for honest and loyal Republicans in this
city to assert themselves, to tnae a pro
nounced and emphatic stand against dis
appointed uiaorgamxnra and malcontents.
