SCRANTON, FEBRUARY 7, 1896. REPUBLICAN CITY TICKET. For Mayor E. II. RIPPLE. For Treasurer DANIEL WILLIAMS. For Controllar-F. J. W IDMAVER. For Aasaasora CHARLES FOWLER. CHRIST I ICIilS, WILLIAM UAWSOS. Fltctlon Day, Feb. 1 8. The public deserves to know that while the Democratic morning and evening; organs are raising the falHe cry of Republican "boodle," the Demo cratic city committee la expeditiously . t - . t I ih. tmrirv" Jfund lately contributed to It by cer- aln notorious "Republican" Reforni r. The Truth Set Forth. Attention is called to the straight thi Rpmibllran l VI n Ul VI Diunilini ---a t-lty executive committee, printed on he opposite page. It Is a citation of lstabllshd facts and an on-line of tarty duty to which every true Repub- Ican should give earnest heed. we need not sumarlze this address; It speaks for Itself. Fortunately, while It Is well that the exact meaning of the assault of a dis credited faction upon the present splendid Republican city ticket should authoritatively be made known, both to the citizens of Scranton and to the Republican press of the state-at-large, there. la no longer any apprehension that that assault will work serious In Jury to the party. Evidence is abun dant that by its very virulence, which bears upon Its face the stamp of per sonal malice and embittered Individual disappointment. It Is causing a reaction In public sentiment, the full effects of ' which will be better understood the day after the approaching election. Were th election held tomorrow, the Republican ticket would win by only normal pluralities; eleven days hence. It will be more likely to establish a new record In the way of high-water mark majorities. ;It Is not. however, to be Inferred from this that there Is no longer need of earnest and energetic work. While Republicans are fighting simply to hold thelrown.it should not be forgotten that the Democrats and their ex-Republican allies are fighting for their very lives. To the Democrats, defeat now means the surender, for years to a come, of all hope of their political restoration. To the allies, the failure of their treason means utter and per manent oblivion. They can never again be welcomed Into self-respecting party fellowship. ' They have by . their de liberate perfidy burned the bridges be hind them, and must abide the verdict of one week from Tuesday as the crim inal In the dock abides the sentence of jury and Judge. Hence they will fight doggedly, desperately and with the in sane energy of men on the final brink. Republicans, understanding this, will spare no energy and give no quarter. The tide has turned. There Is no better proof of It than the two dally Democratic organs' frantic predictions of election frauds. In Relation to Canada. The unsvnimous adoption by the Can adian Hauae of Commons on Wednes day of a resolution declaring Canada's "Inalienable loyalty to the British throne,, and her "willingness. In case of war, to make any sacrifice for the in tegrity of the empire" looks to the dis interested observer like a superfluous labor of love. There Is an adage that the woman who boasts of her virtue is to be regarded with suspicion; if this rule hold true In politics, the mother country will not be overly pleased with the action taken at Ottawa. -So far as we know, the loyalty of Canada's officials to Great Britain had - not been anywhere questioned, prior to this vociferous announcement of It. Whether that loyalty Is purely unsel fish or born of a "lively expectation of possible favors yet to come" is a sub ject for individual conjecture. At all events, the remark of Mr. McNeil, the author of the resolution, that "the people of the United States believed Canadians would seize the first oppor tunity of transferring their allegiance," has, to our knowledge, no foundation in fact.- ,The people of the United States, so far as we are aware of their thoughts in the premises, care not a rap for what Canadians think. With out malice or 111 will, they are profound ly Indifferent upon the subject of Can ada's relations with CJreat Britain; They only know that if war should come, they would meet It without hesi tation, Just as, In the softer competi tions of peace, they are holding their own against Canada and England com bined. . ; : :"' v The question of Canada's "manifest destiny" causes absolutely jio uneasi ness on' this side of the border. The American republic is not hungering for new dominion: It Is not anxious for the assumption of new, debts; (t has no particular anxiety to assume the rela tion of ringmaster to a territorial "white elephant" ; It is glad to know that Canada la happy under its present bonds; and It politely trusts that that rather ostentatiously proclaimed hap piness may Indefinitely continue. - . The chairman of the house commit tee on territories, whose absence from duty at the bcglnnlniir of the session seriously embarrassed Speaker Heed and led to the placing of the commit tee In an obscure room in the basement of the rapitol, has? it seems, again de serted his post of duty nt Wushlngton. to lead In person his Hsht on his party at home. No wonder Mr. IJeed regrets that he gave this man a chairmanship. Anniversary, of Kosciusko's Birth. The history of patriots contains no more illustrious name, and none more worthy of honor by all men who ad mire bravery, appreciate devotion to country and anplaud personal manli ness, than that of Thadtleus Kosciusko, whose one hundred and fiftieth anni versary will be celebrated on Wednes day next. To Americans the memory of this heroic man moans something more than a mere historical recollec tion. They do not forget that at a time when his only possible motives were unselfish ones, and his only possible Incentive a true love for liberty, this brave and chivalrous Pole volunteered his sword to the cause of American freedom and by brilliant service In the Revolutionary army won his way to a brigadier generalship. It. therefore. Is most fitting that In many of ouridtles the American patri otic societies should on Wednesday next unite with the Polish societies in commemoration of Kosciusko's birth. Though he fought while he could for the land of his birth and endeavored with unsurpassed valor to avert the evil day which saw Poland partitioned among the surrounding powers, Kosci usko's career Is an inspiration to all mankind, and his memory, an univer sal heritage. The teaching of his heroism to the roles of our own land will be a decided Btep toward that sympathy with American Institutions which Is necessary to their ultimate adoption and adaptation. While It seems to be McKInley's vic tory now,-we must remember that a presidential nomination Is a mighty elusive thlng Hoist with Its Own Petard. The Democratic editor of the Scran ton Anti-Republican is again indulg ing In falsehoods as to' the condition of the Republican rampaien. Those false hoods are of the character to foe ex pected from a traitor to" the party and a deserter to the enemy. Benedict Ar nold talked the same way after he joined the King's army. He said our revolutionary fathers could not succeed and he looked forward to Washington's capture In a few month. Arnold died a miserable wretch, respected by no body, mourned by none. What is the pretended excuse for the bolt by the present Republican con gressman? Not- the defeat of his friends, but the fraud at the primaries. This, he declares, was horrible. To prove It he causes the arrest of Messrs. Slmrell and Jones, claiming the First district of the Twentieth ward, Mr. Connell's former home and Colonel Ripple's stronghold, was improperly carried. In other words, the Dutch took Holland, and It must have been by fraud. A young fellow by the name of Schlentz Is prevailed upon to make an Information against the vlgllants, charging them with violations of the party rules although there 'are no such rules of the party and he knew It when he made the affidavit and with taking ballots out of the box although he cannot tell whose ballots they were and says he did not even ask at the time. The ballots were two In num ber, and Schlentz was beaten by twenty-one voteB. Schlentz further charges the vlgllants with taking the box out of the room for three minutes, as he says. After the polls closed he was Invited Inside and there watched the count, said It was fair, shook hands with his successful opponent and went home. Afterwards he is prevailed upon by the bolters and kickers to try to raise a row. He could find only one other person out of seventy persons who saw anything wrong- and he had a grievance of years' standing against the vlgllants. Wasn't it horrible? Fraud at the primaries! Schlentz, 29; Cooper, CO; 2 ballots drawn out of the box. This, denied by everybody but Schlentz and his man, Aspenschlager. We were promised great and im portant disclosures all over the city. Where are they? Does the treacher ous Scranton Anti-Republican sup pose that anybody will believe its charges, unsupported and untrue as they are? Will the people be gulled by Its malicious tongue? If it had any shame it would hide Its head and muz- Ele Its hiss. The bond matter Is simply a new proof that the plain people may be trusted. The Recognition of Cuba. In view of the reported reluctance of the president, who alone can grant formal recognition of bellleerent rights, to take the action In regard to Cuba which Is demanded by on over whelming majority of the American people, the senate committee on for eign affairs has undoubtedly done well to put Into a Joint resolution an ex pression of sympathy with the Cuban insurgents which, while not amount ing to technical recognition, is In effect equivalent to that. The senate resolu tion is Ingeniously worded. It follows: Resolved. Ily the sennte ilho nntiBff of representatives concurring, lhat in ih. opinion of congress a condition of ptiblln war exists between the government of Spuln anil the government proclaimed, and for some time maintained by force of urms, oy me people or i'iuiu, and that the I'nlted States of America should main tain a strict neutrality between the c-o'i- tenuing powers ana accord to each all the rights bf belligerents in the ports and lerruory 01 ine united mates. Thus Is the sentiment of the Ameri can people put Into official. If not technically final, language. The presi dent, by a proclamation, can give it ultimate force, or he can Ignore it; but In either case the world at large will know how the representative branch of the American government feels toward Cuba and how it despises the arrogant rule which Spain, like some great ' vampire, seeks to perpetuate upon a reluctant people. The force of such a notification may not be very great among European nations, all of whom se tarred with the same kind of pltcl thai blackens Spain's, stick; but ampng the lesser American repub- I lies and In Ou'..u it will be calculated to I work to the uVcliltd ticnellt of the he ! ric revolutionist. I j It la com-ollnsr t know that none rf ' the outspoken Republican candidates j for the presidency Is unworthy of that trust. Success of the Popular Loan. The fact that the Morgan syndicate, which last year offered $l04'.i for 4 per cent, government bonds, hns new of fered JltU.es for more bonds of the same character except that they have one year less to run, condemns with an emphasis r-ot to be increased by fur ther words, the secret d'?al of last February. The further fact that an appeal to the people directly has in this latest instance brought bona-flde offers, in excess of the Morgan terms of last year, amounting to more than five and one-half times the total Issue leaves the administration's earlier course without a leg to stand on. Secretary Carlisle is reported to have admitted his astonishment at the great success of this bond issue. It is esti mated by prominent financiers that had the loan been a truly popular one that is, one reaching the great mass of people through the postofllces and not simply through the banks the total bids would have been twice or thrice $".00,000,008. Even as It was, however the loan affords a magnificent demon stration of the continued confidence of thM American piaople In the solvency of their government and Is a most em phatic refutation of the clamor of the president and the treasury officials that the nation's credit Is In Jeopordy. If at a time when Democratic in competency has been busy augmenting the national debt and creating injuri ous deficits, the people nevertheless have such fundamental confidence In their government's promise to pay us Is shown In this popular bid for federal bonds, what will be the limit of that confidence when Republicanism, with Its well-known surplus-accumulating and debt-reducing habits, shall again be restored to 'complete control of the executive and legislative branches of the government? There Is reason to believe that. In its present campaign of contemplated par ty betrayal, the Scranton Republican put its lie machine at work Just about two weeks too early for effectiveness The people somehow refused to stay fooled. ' The West Side editorial writer of the esteemed Times Is trying hard to round up the Welsh-American viters of Hyde Park In the Democratic circle. Kvtdently he would like to take Daniel Williams' sculp. One of the lessons taught by the sue cess of the so-called popular loan is that the United States one of these tine days will also declure Its flnunclul in dependence. tleneral Harrison's retirement has caused a call for a letter defining the attitude of Mr. Cleveland, but like oth er popular calls to duty. It will be lg nored. The man who has visited both sides of Niagara river at the falls needs no explanation why the United States is indifferent concerning Canada. Spain's bad habit of trying to edit the Cuban war correspondence Is con vlncing proof that the Cubans are get ting the best of the fight. If Cashier Stone was "not guilty" why should he "pay the costs"? THE REAL AM. MI'S OF IT. From the Oll'Dhatit Record. Of all quarrels, that of a family is the most unnatural.. When members of the same household throw mud. It sticks most tenaciously to the hands of the ningers; when brothers slander each other, hurl vile epithets and open old sores, the stench clinics to their garments for many days. A family is destined by all the laws of decency and honor, to live at peace and if they occasionally fall out, I lie hard words and wry races .should not pass beyond the home circle. The sight noej presented" to the world by the Itepubllcan family of the city t,f Scranton is a deplorable one. ilonuiulile man are slandered. .Names chut me synonymous with the prosperity ami en terprise of the Electric City are traduced and maligned. Men who have done more than any others to build uo the county seat, are today objects of calumny of the lilacKest kind und spleen the most virulent. A few years ago, those who now defame the names of I'oniiHlI, Klpple, Williams, et ul., were loudest In their blandishments. Then they burnt incense to their names, now they lumtiooti them with the vilest scurrility. In days of yore thee Kemlcmen called the above parties tneir menus and "tneir adoption tried, but they grappled them not to their "soul with hooks of steel." They used them for seltlsli ends, and now, when their will Is thwarted and their selfishness rebuked, they fling them away as one does a sucked orange. And what is the guilt of these men? Well, they have dared to differ from the autocrat. .No other offence Is theirs, than the unpardonable one of thinking for themselves and worklnir for the best Interests of the prosperous city of Scran- ton. i: ii are the days Indeed, when one who differ from another in a free and popular government, becomes the object of obloquy the vilest and calumny the most wicked. The electors of the munlcinnllty of Scranton will not be hood-winked by these degrading methods of wsrfare. The rov ernment of the Electric Citv In the hands of Republicans has been progressive and prosperous, it should be continued. A change will do no Kood. hut It may b fraught with untold harm. The kickers are playing Into the hiimls of the enemv. and their sole desire now Is, to d-feat their quondam friends and tut the Democrats in oower. And it Is all du to the fact, that the czar's will ws hnlked. Some wish to piny the emperor: and if thnt Is not conceded them, they stnnd reody, us far as they ran, to smph and ruthlessly ruin the party. Tlenuhllcnns will under stand IhK Thev will rnlly around the Klpple-Willlnms-Wldmfjyer flag, nnd see that the nnrty of their eholeo will come forth triumphantly on the 18th Inst, THE NEXT SFNAT0RS1IIP. Stackpole, In Rlmlra Advertiser. When Senator Quay won the chair manship lust summer he won a great victory against odds that seemed over whelming, but his dunyer seems to some people as Imminent now as It was a tew months ago. He Is in dunger from a sourer that he probably little suspectn. Around him and in close touch with him are several men who are believed to be grinding their own axes without much reference to the effect It muy have upon the senator. They are Interfering in the county nominations for the legislature and doing other things which will re turn to pliifcue them. This Interference Is already beginning to show in murmur lugs of dissatisfaction end appeuls to Senator Quay will be madft unless those to whom he has entrusted the legislative campaign ore pulled off. It le under stood that the purpose of the hired hands Is to -make the culling and election of Senator Penrose sure as the successor of Senator Cameron. Hut these are reck oning without their hosts, as most poli ticians now believe that Senator Cameron will be a candidate to succeed himself unless he lands in the cabinet of the next president or Is sent abroad as ambassador to England, Russia or France. He would prefer a foreign portfolio, but If he doesn't get It he will again knock at the floors of the legislature for his present place.

Scranton hns bad a chance to do a neat thing by Wllkcs-Harre several times at the armory fair: the band fair: the ktr mesi. etc., etc.. but she hns not grasped the opportunity. When the local col lege alumni asosiclation need to include Scranton. that town would send down one or two to Wllkes-Harre. while Wilkes Barre woiid semi a I'or.en to Scranton. Much the Hume proportion holds about all public utTuira In which Wllkes-Barre and Scranton have had a chance to rub against each, other. To sum It up. Scranton has always wanted everything for the price of nothing. And yet a bl crowd ought to so from here for several reasons; first, because the S ronton klrmes Is well worth polng to sec; second, because the objeet Is a most worthy one; third, be cause it's Mwav u KW'd thing o make ftcrantnn '! ashamed of its littleness In reciprocity.
