History of the Republican Primary .Elections and of the City Convention Con
clusive Reasons Why Loyal Republicans Should Support
the Ticket of Their Party.
Te the Republican Voter ei the City ol Scranton.
It is due to the electors of this city, and more especially to those who adhere to the
Heuubllcan Dartv. that they should fully and clearly understand the present political
situation In this city, and be made conversant with the clrcuntBtancesand conditions
leading up to the factional discord in the Republican party, which threatens to di
vert a portion of the Republlcun vote rtom the duly nominated cundldate of that
party. It is proposed here to present a concise and accurate history of the prelimi
nary campaign for the purpose of demonstrating to thoughtful and conscienUou men
where the responsibility for factional discord Justly belongs.
Several months ago. when the question of candidates for the mayoralty and other
city offices began to attraet attention, and became the subject of discussion among
Republicans, the suggestion of the name of Colonel Ezra H. Ripple for mayor was re
ceived with great favor in every section of the city. He had filled that office before
with signal ability and with such marked baneflt to the municipality and advantage
to the taxpayers by his honest and Judicious administration, that, coupled with his
admitted personal popularity, It was almost universally conceded that he was, above
all othern, the best and strongest man to lead the party successfully through the en
suing campaign, and assure to the municipality three years more of honest, Judic
ious and progressive government and clean administration. Vp to thlB time there wag
no expectation that petty factional malevolence would be Injected Into tbe campaign.
No. sooner, however, did it become apparent that a wave of popular sentiment in the
Republican party was rising In behalf of Colonel Ripple than an "alarm was sound
ed" through the columns of the "Republican." The black flag of factionalism, dis
cord, Jealousy and mean elllshneas, was unfurled. A small but noisy coterie of pro
fessional malcontents and party-wreckers behind locked doors, mapped out a plan of
campaign, which for recklessness and disloyalty to party has never been equalled In
this county.
The Plot' Purpose Disclosed.
What that scheme contemplated subsequent events have made perfectly plain. The
first move was to pluce Into the Held an opposition ticket. If that had been done in
good faith and on the basl of honest Republican methods and purposes, no Repub
lican could have found opportunity for adverse criticism, but even in this the con
spirators were dishonest and acted In bad faith. Captain James Molr consented to
stand as their candidate for mayor, and others were willing to accept places on
their ticket In the belief that the tender to them of support was made In good faith.
Later events demonstrate conclusively that with characteristic treachery and deceit
tllese political conspirator did not even take their chosen standard-bearer Into
heir confidence, but made them, at least to a certain extent, their victims, by with
holding from them the full moasure of their proposed treachery te the party.
The conapirators knew that they could not win In the delegate elections, and from
the very Inception of their conspiracy they contemplated the disruption of the Re
publican party and the restoration of the Democracy to power In the olty govern
ment. 'This purpose wus not confided to their dupe. Convinced, weeks before the
delegate elections, that they could not capture the city convention, they carefully
laid their plan to break up that convention and by loud cries of "fraud," "corrup
tion," "ballot-box stuffing," "Democratic voting," etc., to create a pretext for a
rump convention, thus placing a second Republican ticket in the Held, thereby in
creasing the prospects of a Democratic restoration in the city government.
Hunting for a Pretext.
These plans were carried out to the letter and In the spirit, and made clear the
real purpose of J. A. Scranton, when he placed the Molr-Davls-Westpfahl tioket
at the head of hi newspaper, labeled "Independent Republican." As these con
spirators and purty-wreckers did not expect to secure control of the regularly con
stituted convention they laid all their plans In advance for a bolt and a rump con
vention. All they needed and wanted was a plausible pretext, which was easily ar
ranged. The scheme agreed upon, after the result of the delegate elections was
known, was to spring contests against nearly all the delegates In the city conven
tion who had been elected In the interest of Ripple, Williams and Wldmayer, and
when their outrageous, unjust and unparliamentary demands were denied recogni
tion In the convention, they raised the cry of "Injustice" and bolted. That action
bad all been planned and determined upon before the convention assembled.
The pretext for the wholesale contests In the convention was that "Democrats
had voted for Ripple delegates at the primaries." It 1 a notorious fact that in a
majority of these cases the defeated candidate for delegate In wheee name the
contest were made had not even been consulted and were Ignorant of what
being done In their name. In mot of these cases, too, there was not even the sem
blance of reason or cause for contest, und nobody residing in the districts Interest
ed had so much as Intimated that there had been unrairne or fraud in the elec
tion of the delegates.
But what cared the party-wreckers and their followers? Their purpose wa to cre
ate some kind of a pretext for a bolt and the nomination of a second ticket. Know
ing In advance that they could not prevent the nomination of Ripple, Williams
anJ Wldmayer they, also In advance, resolved and laid their plan for an attempt
to defeat the Republican party at the election In February, and that is what thty
are now striving to accomplish.
Encountered u Snag.
In one particular the plans of the party-wreckers have miscarried. The scheme to
bolt from tho regular convention was carried out; a rump convention was organ
ized and a ticket nominated; but here a snug was encountered: Captain Molr,
who, up to this time, had been their dupe, when brought face to face with the real
purpose of the conspirators, shrank from the disloyal .and treacherous role which
they had assigned to him. He would not accept the nomination from the rump con
vention, and the scheme for a second ticket had to be abandoned. This .was a
great disappointment to the consplrutors, and from thnt time on the Scranton Re
publican has been belching forth Its venom at Captain Molr.

Many Cellars rilled with Water-In
the Suburbs tho Worst Con
dition of Affair Exists..
Scrantonlans who thought them
selves inconvenienced by yesterday's
storm were in reality lucky, consider
ing the havoc wrought by the flood of
water In nearby localities. This sec
tion was fortunate In escaping what
will cause many thousand dollar of
damage to railroads, street car lines,
nilllB and other interests less than a
hundred miles distant, especially in a
southerly and southeasterly direction.
Up to a late hour last night Tribune
reporters were unable to obtain accu
rate Information of what the storm ha
done, and the extent of the damage wilt
not be known until at least this after
noon, a last night the press wire
would not convey a message until after
10 o'clock and then the dispatches were
transmitted only with great difficulty.
The washout or slide on the Lacka
wanna road at Bridgevllle, and which
Is reported more fully In another col
umn, prevented the trains due here at
12.05 and 1.04 p. m. o'clock from arriv-
Ing until 6 o'clock In the evening. The
train due at fj.50 o'clock did not rench
here until a little after nine, nnd It was
10 o'clock before the arrival of the 8.u0
train.
There was comparatively little trouble
on the Lavkawanna roud north nf
Scranton, but travelers going south
were informed when they bought tick
ets that the company could not guaran
tee their transportation below Strouds
burg. On theBloomsburg division there was
a washout somewhere below Kingston
and a special car and an engine had to
be sent from this city to bring to Scran
ton the belated passengers at Kingston
and Intermediate points.
traction Company Hl Trouble
The Scranton Traction company was
not. exempt from considerable trouble
and delay. At Moosic the water over
flowed the tracks where they run un
der the Delaware and Hudson road to
a depth of five feet and the satnethlng
occurred on the Peckville line at the
culvert near the Marvlne shaft. At each
of these points It was necessary to
transfer passengers to a car waiting on
the opposite side: On the Kellevue line
the water overflowed the rails In the
Sixth ward. The car were kept run
ning at the point arretted, the storm
abating last evening just In time to
prevent a blockade. On all the lines
travel was more or less delayed, t
In and about the city the rain began
to fall about 1 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Its great volume together with
the one or more inches of snow which
lay on the ground made a greater
amount of flow .than the capacity of
the sewer wa equal to. The conse
quence wa that hundred of cellars
were Inundated, sewer and water bas
ins were clogged and street intersec
tion were plastered with aea of mud.

On the South Side the effect of the
Sturm was particularly notlceahU'. At
several ioliits along Elm street the
water was a foot or more in depth.
The cellars of the houses along this
thoroughfare were Hooded. Plttston
avenue at many points was almost Im
passable. The Flood on the West Sido.
At the corner of South Main avenue
and Eynon street on the West Side the
water was' about four feet deep at one
spot nnd filled the cellar of the store
of John T. Williams & company. A
woman who refused to give her name
stepped off the sidewalk at this place
but did not comprehend the depth of
the muddy fluid. She sank in it up to
her waist. Borne pedestrians helped
her out and she continued on her way
after announcing her determination to
sue the city.

by the grent downpour of rain, but by
the bursting of tine of the dama ton

flowed nnd the damage to thoj houses
and contents in th Immediate Vicinity
of the stream was) great. The water
was higher than eVr before at that
place.

I tlon's nominations ha not a'.layed the
the party that has in the past honored them. They started out on their crusade
to disrupt and defeat the party and enthrone the Democracy In power In this city.
Having failed In their scheme for a second Republican ticket, they have now en
tered Into an "unholy alliance" with the Democratic leaders, ami have even as.
sisted In rulslng a large campaign fund to be used in their desperate attempt to de
feat the Republican party. They have burned their bridges behind them and are
today In the ranks of the Democratic party lighting the battle of that party.
The Tactics ot the Cuerrlllu.
In order to keep up the pretence of a grievance on which to excuse and Justify
their treachery to their own political household theae party-wreckers have thrown
aside all regard for the methods of legitimate political warfare and adopted those
of the guerillu and bush-whacker. One of their methods Is to make a pretense if
sincerity and political morality In the course they are puraulng by trumping up
villainous charges agaltiBt committeemen who conducted the delegate elections and
causing their arrest on allegations of fraud and various violation of the election
laws. In not a single Instance have these charge been sustained, for the very sub
stantial reason that they are unfounded. Petty Irregularities, such as occur at
every primary of all political parties, have been magnified by disappointment, rage
and malice Into the most aerlous offences. Every charge of fraud at the late dele
gate elections has been met by the most emphatic aftidavits of reputable men, and
fully refuted.
And now, what is the real unlmus of the small coterie of discredited and repudi
ated Republican would-be leudeis and ex-bosses who have enterefl Into this consplr.
acy to encompass the defeat of the Republican party? Any thoughtful and intelli
gent observer of pusslng events, politically, in this city and county during the pu.nt
few years, can readily answer that question. The Republican masses have become
heartily tired of the greedy, selfish and treacherous leadership of former years, a
leadership as unscrupulous, aj corrupting, as treacherous and as demoralizing as
it was seiflsh. This leadership the party determined to cast off and free Itself
from. Repudiated as leaders and political tyrants by the Republican party, they
are 'today In the harness of the Democracy. They carry with them Into the Demo
cratic ranks a small coterie of adherents, principally men who have themselves un.
successfully aspired to leadership, and who are nursing personal or political dis
appointment, or seek this means of revenging some hate or fancied grievance.
Republicans' Plain Duty.
What is the plain duty of the loyal Republicans of this city? Hy "loyal Republi
cans" is meant that great body of thinking, reading and reflecting citizens who ad
her to tbe Republican party because In national, state and municipal government It
ha demonstrated a greater measure of wisdom. Integrity, ability and progresslve
ness than any other political party that ever existed. To this class or Republicans
common-sense appeals can always be made with confidence. Nine-tenths of the
men who constitute the Republicanism of the city of Scranton belong to that
class.' Messrs. Ripple, Williams, Wldmayer and their colleagues on the Republi
can ticket are that kind of party men. They went before their fellow Republi
cans at the primaries asking their support, openly declaring their purpose to abide by
the verdict of the popular vote of the party whatever It might be. Had they failed
to secure a majority In the convention there would have been no belt, no rump
convention, no "unholy alliance" with the Democratic party to defeat the suc
cessful Republican nominees. It Is clearly the duty af all loyal Republicans to
support such candidates. t
The Music Hall ticket, composed of Ezra H. Ripple Daniel Williams. F. J.
Wldmayer, Charlea Fowler, Christ. Flckus and William Dawon, was fairly
and honestly nominated. That ticket Is the result of the fairly expressed choice
of the Republican party of this city. The primaries at which the Music Hall con.
ventlon delegates were elected were as honestly conducted and as free from fraud
as such elections ever have been In this or any other city.
For the Safety of the Party.
The hue and cry raised against this ticket is the direct result of the disap
pointed and reckless rage of less than a dozen men, who care no more for Cap
tain Molr than they do for Colonel Ripple, but who used the former In as far as
they could as a tool In a last desperate struggle to regain their own lost prestige
and fallen political leadership. The battle remaining to be fought on Feb. 1$ is
not between factions of the Republican party; it will be a contest between the
Republican and Democratic parties, and the stake Is control of tho municipal
government for the next three years. The battle of the Republican factions
was determined und ended at the delegate elections.
The pending contest at the battle-bux Involves no question of a personal vic
tory for any man, nor does any Issue of facttonul supremacy enter Into It. The
ticket placed In nomination by tbe Music Hull convention U the ticket of the Re
publican party of the city of Scrunton. The defeat of that ticket would be the
defeat of the Republican party and Its overthrow not merely in this city, but
possible In tho county as well.
The situation is such as to demand the most serious and conscientious consider
ation and reflection from sincere and loyal party men. This Is a time for true
and faithful Republicans to cut loose f rom treacherous and self-necking and am
bitious would-be leader", who, in their disappointment and desperation, would
ruin a great party when they can no longer dominate It with their arrogant tyran
ny. This Is the time for loyal Republicans to rally around the standard
bearers of their party. It Is alio a time to relegate betrayers of the party to the
rear and see that tlicy remain there.
