EUetloBPyLFeb.J8:
Tha call of certain state papers for
Senator Cameron to resign has not yet
tirouffht to our ears the sound of any
thing In the nature of a drop. After
all, lan't It somewhat foolish to kick ut
tho representative whom the common
wealth knowingly re-elected?
Can Elect tha Whole Ticket.
Colonel Ripple's election by a gener
ous margin Is conceded even by Dem
ocrats. The nature or the attack upon
him has caused a reaction among the
people. His campaign, as near as can
he known In politics, Is substantially
safe. His friends will, of course, fight
Until the polls close Just as If the result
were In Question, but there Is no pres
ent reason to doubt that he will be vic
torious, and there Is also no reason
why the public should not know it.
We believe that the same can with
qual truthfulness be said of the re
mainder of the ticket: but It Is upon it
that the hardest fighting will fall, and
therefore It Is in its behalf especially
that loyal Republicans should redouble
their energies. To be elected to the
mayoralty without the seating of ster
ling Daniel Williams In the treasurer's
office, and without the experienced and
trustworthy Wldmayer retained as city
controller, would be a scant victory for
Colonel Ripple. The city treasurer and
the city controller are, with the city
solicitor, the mayor's cablnot. What
satisfaction could Mayor Ripple have
if his cabinet were one-half opposed
to him. politically?
It has, of course, been maliciously
circulated thut Colonel Ripple has
worked In this fight for himself alone.
Buch charges occur In every campaign.
The present one Is utterly false. Col
onel Ripple has fought harder for his
colleagues than for himself, and has
asked his friends to do the same. Even
now. If it were a choice between their
victory and his defeat, he would cheer
fully choose the latter. But with proper
energy among Republicans, every can
didate on the Republican ticket can be
elected overwhelmingly on Tuesday
next: and it Is to this end ihat effort
should be directed.
One thing is sure. Donald Cameron
need never expect to be appointed min
ister to Spain,
Tha Quay Presidential Boom.
State Treasurer Haywood has for
mally launched a Quay presidential
boom and has Invited the various coun
ties and also the coming state conven
tion to pass resolutions urging the
Pennsylvania delegation at St. Louis
to present the Junior senator's name.
Mr. Haywood adds:
"The old political idea that the nomi
nee for the presidency must come from
a doubtful state is erroneous in princi
ple. There Is no good reason, political
or otherwise, why such a rule should
obtain. The fact that Pennsylvania
has stood In the very front rank of Re
publicanism, and has always given her
electoral vote to the candidate of the
party should be and Is an argument In
favor of naming her favorite son as a
candidate for president. It is all
wrong to think that the candidate
must be chosen from a doubtful state.
Such a theory places a premium on
wavering and uncertain Republicanism
and. discounts those stalwart states
which bear the brunt of the battle. No
maa would adopt such a rule in his
business affairs, and there is no greater
reason why it should be operative, in
political matters."
As to the desirability of the Pennsyl
vania delegation voluntarily acting
together at St. Louis as a unit In all
things reasonable and right there can
be no question. Senator Quay's own
declaration some weeks ago, that he
was "not fit to be president and could
not for thirty days survive the pres
sure of the ofllce" seemed then to put
his candidacy out of the question. At
that time, in recognition of the propri
ety of a Pennsylvania candidacy, many
Republicans' urged the claims of Gover
nor Hastings; but against this there
. seem since to have arisen difficulties
that appear to render It futile. Whether
th present announcement of llr. Hay
wood Is to be construed as mean
ing that Senator Quay has re
considered his original deliverance
and would under certain ' condi
tions become a receptive candidate,
or whether It la merely the voicing of a
personal tribute Is not yet disclosed.
The Important point is Its recognition
of the propriety of united action by the
Pennsylvania delegation at St. Louis;
and to this proposition there will be
general assent. ,
The cordial Indorsement, by Governor
Hastings of the movement In the sena
tor's behalf shows thai It would com
mand the unanimous support of the
party In this state and doubtless be a
desirable step toward obliterating the
lingering vestiges of fuctlnnul recent
want growing out of lust yeur'a ountest
foMhe state c tialrmaiihhly. .'
"Bat" Shea's electrocution was a

system of civic crimes.
Judge Hand's Letter.
Careful attention is invited to the
open letter from the pen of ex-Judge
Alfred Hand, on the opposite page. It
Is not a political document, bristling
with misrepresentations, Innuendos or
Incitements to prejudice or passion; It
Is a calm, judicial statement of facts
bearing upon the present canvass only
so far as factional malevolence ond In
dividual malice have sought to poison
the public mind against one of the
city's honorable and public-spirited
citizens. i
The policy of those who desire Dem
ocratic success next Tuesday covers
two and only two lines of attack one,
the raising of a false hubbub over al
leged Republican primary frauds, the
existence of which has been effectually
disproved; and the other, the bespat
tering with tilth of the name of a gen
tleman, who. although not a candidate
for office, has been made the target for
every defamer of reputable manhood,
every envler of deserved success und
every petty cavller at Indisputable emi
nence and demonstrated personal worth
In the whole list. To the latter clasHiil
cutlon belongs the onslaught' upon
"Connelllsm," as If for Wlllium Con
nell to be u leuder In channels which
his enterprise, his liberality und his
unfailing Hugarlty.as a business man
and as a citizen have enriched not only
for himself but for thin entire commun
ity, were in some sense a hiirh crime und
misdemeanor deserving of Incontinent
abuse.
As a friend and as a citizen, Julgff
Hand gives reasons why this reckless
policy should not be permitted to pre
vail. It Is not that Mr. Connell indi
vidually would suffer through such
abuse his position lit the community,
his standing among discerning men,
even his power for good In politics are
beyond serious curtailment by the ad
verse result of a single local election.
It is that the unrebuked loosening of
malicious tongues upon such a man as
he may deal a blow both to the welfare
of the city at home and to Its credit
and good name abroad. It Is the city
which suffers when men of liberal ten
dencies are hounded for their gener
osity and when the reward of publlo
spirit is public vilification and calumny.
The trouble with Seranton Is not
"Connelllsni" but the lack of more men
like William Connell to use their for
tunes as a public resource held In trust
for the public benefit.
We congratulate the Seranton Times
upon having secured In the so-called
"Republican" simply a tame and In
nocuous echo.
Honey In Campaigns.
Senator Oarfleld, Ron of the martyr
president, has Introduced Into the Ohio
senate an elaborate bill designed to
overcome, to a large degree, the Im
proper use of money at elections. It
provides, in brief, thnt every candidate
and every political committee shall
publish within a stated time after elec
tion an Itemized report of the umounts
of money by them expended for the
purpose of the campaign In which they
were engaged. These expenses are to
be reported not only for the election,
but for the contests in which the nomi
nations for those offices are won. All
reports are to be made under oath.
The amounts that candidates may ex
pand and not be ineligible for the office
to which they are elected are set forth
upon a graded scule, according to popu
lation. The principal merit of such a corrupt
practices act, as demonstrated in states
where the experiment has for some
time been on trial, Is In the opportunity
which It extends to candidates of re
lease from the badgering of partisan
"suckers" who make a practice of prey
ing upon every man who aspires to of
fice. A goodly share of the money
spent nowadays In politics Is known at
the time of its expenditure to be, in all
probability, money wasted on chronic
leeches who, by one pretext or another,
bother their victim until, to free himself
from their pertinacious appeals, he buys
Immunity by the proffer of cash. This
money does not go to the corruption of
voters; It simply feeds a corruption
which already exists, under circum
stances making It difficult for the can
didate to refuse to be bled.
Where there Is a deliberately vicious
determination on the part of the candi
date to spend money for culpable pur
poses, -It Is doubtful If any law, how
ever skillfully worded,, or any system,
however carefully devised, can Inter
pose an effective barrier. Indeed, the
amount of money so spent bears only a
small relationship to the amount which
Is expended for purposes In themselves
Innocent but vicious In their general
trend, such as the courting of popular
favor at picnics, fairs, and the like,
and the employing of deputy boomers
to emphasize their hired laudation with
"treats" of various kinds. A stringent
corrupt practices act would give the
decent candidate an excuse behind
which to shelter himself from monetary
drains of this character; and to thin
extent would doubtless work desirable
reforms..
Good judgment, personal honesty and
ajlpe knowledge of city affairs are
qualities essential to the duties of the
city assessorshlp. These qualities are
found In the deserving candidacies of

Eilltor of The Tribune.
Kir: Mitch as I dislike appearing In
public print it seems tile rlKht tliln,-?
that I should, as requested, write you,
giving my views upon tho most Important
qurstlon now before the electors of oar
rlty the West Lacknwann.t avenue via
duct. 1 am Impelled to this more es
pecially on account of wrong Impressions
entertained by some citizens In regard to
my attitude toward the briiges lately
built. Hence the following statement.
When the Linden street brldio was first
talked of I was one of a committee vlHlted
by our late public spirited townsman. Col
onel J. A. Price, to confer in regard to
the bridge project. Mr. Price pUred tho
plans he had drawn up before our commit
tee and asked for opinions us to wht-thr
they would pass as proposed. 1 tli-n de
clared I way in favor of tho lirldsvs. und
huve been ho ever since; but sutd i did not
believe the ordinance aa propuird would
pass and guve us u reason for my opin
ion thut the most naeilod Improvement,
the viaduct, was left out. I lien inter
ceded for the lives of the poop!!, hun
dreds of whom liuve lnci coinn wilhln
a hulrsurt-ajth of being alauislitervd, anil
which might huve cost the dry mott thuti
the price of two viaducts. I also raised
the point thut those who opposed such u
heeded safeguard would be morally re
sponsible lor any accident that might oc
cur at the crossing thereafter. I said 1
could not favor un ordinance for bti'.Ues
tttu did not Include the viaduct, it ft as
not Included, una the people voted the
ordinance down not because they Were
opposed to the bridges, but because thi.v
desired the viaduct more; In other v. orcls,
because they thought thut the most need
ed Improvement Hhotlld not bi tho lubt
to have attention.
Any una can see from the above a 'id
from the general trend of my life that
1 nut only do not oppose, but am lit favor
of all bridges and uny other Itnpr ivonients
that may be or any benetlt to the city.
At the same time J must suy 1 coiil.l not
support thiucs thut appeared I IK- pitting
a carl before u horse. All cu:i now m-b
that the Linden street bridge is not used
one-tenth as much as It will be u.'ler
the viaduct la built und Six'h strict
graded.
The second time the bridge ordinance
came up no viaduct was Included, bet
the people wera u.ssuied thut they should
huve one if they would puss the bridge
ordinance. Nearly all hud faith in the
premise and while yet believing thut the
viaduct should have come first or ut least
at the tame time as the bridges tney
turned out and, as is well known, paused
it as It was, and all who are familiar with
my efforts on that occasion know tr.u. 1
put in my mite to help It ulotig.
The viaduct ordinance us promise 1 Is
now before our citizens for action -and
us I urged before the committee ten years
ut;o, I now pleud with the people for such
a vote us will give protection to tha liven
of those who huve to puss that dangerous
crossing. This applies not only to those,
living on the West Side, but to all who
huve to come anil go thut way.
The cost will be but trifling compare. 1
with the convenience the viaduct will af
ford. The committee have calculated that
it will increase the annual tux of & laoorer
only 2 cents; the miner, 3 rents, and prop
erty owners from l.'i to M cents apiece.
Whut a trifle! The whole cost will lie
saved in a few years by the caving of
time which Is now lost In waiting fot cars
to puss. 1 would also suggest In this con
nection that Inasmuch as no serious acci
dent has occurred, the delay in bullilinir
this viaduct has seemingly been fo. the
best, as the plan of placing the su.ne on
one side of the street, as proposed by
Councilman Oliver, is, in my opinion, the
best of any thut has been thought of und
will eventually be the cheapest, us much
of the space covered by the viaduct ci.n be
utilized by the city und thus a saving of
much money now being paid aa rents will
bs effected.
Finally, let me say that I consider there
Is a grave responsibility attached to the
action of each voter on this question. In
It Is not only the question of great im
provement anil convenience to the whole
city, but also the greater question of lite
and death, and In case of accident Hie con
sequent expense to the city. I cannot
help feeling that should there be any who
would prevent our people from having tbe
safeguard asked for they will be morally
responsible for any calamity urlslng front
the need thereof.
Very respectfully,
11. O. Morgan.

Till: KIND OI' MAYOR TO ELECT.
From the Seranton Truth.
The man who la chosen mayor of this
energetic city of muenlllcent possibilities
and splendid opportunities should be no
mere amateur in public affairs. He should
be every Inch a man In his inalte-ttp. In
his Integrity and In municipal experience.
The city of Seranton has now reached a
point In Its history when It is of the high
est Importance to its people that It shall
be governed with wisdom and wltii a
broadminded view directed iovrJ Its
future welfare. It Is no disparagement of
any one else to say 'that we know of no
man seeking for the ofllce of mayor, or for
any other office In this tow-i who mis th
bill better in every respe.-t than Colonel
Kzra II. Ripple. Ha unlo -stands the
city's needs and how tj advance Its In
terests, and he Is no IcggsrJ when hard
work Is to be done fur uny deserving
cause. Not only this but Colonel Kii.pl.i
stands high In the estimation cf the tu
ple ut home and at a lisiunce. His ram
Is synonymous with solvvmy as vll r..
with ability, and he Is in all respects u
progressive citizen of the highest type.
The Truth cures not what party pre
sents such a man for Its appronl it wlil
feel In duty bound to ulvocaio his elec
tion In the Interest of the city.
We take no stock In the small-liter clam
or that has been rulsed about the Re
publican primaries. It Is well under
stood that this phase of the ilt;nt Is but
an Ingenious political diversion for the
purpose of preventing, if possible, the
election of Colonel Ripple. There Is room
for Improvement at the primaries all
around, as there Is In ot!i?r features of
our political machinery, and the candi
dacy of Colonel Hippie neds no dfeKo
In thut direction. The next few years w ill
be years of great importance for the i it y
of Seranton, and it is, therefore, most es
sential that the people of this pla-:e el.vt
to the mayoralty a man of Colon-1 Ji-p-pie's
eminent qualifications for the of
fice. ti:sEKVi:n thanks.
To the Editor of the Truth.
Pear Sir: Allow me to thank you und
your paper for your manly dofcr.se of
Colonel E. H. Ripple. In these days when
private reputation and public service seem
to be special objects for attack; when
motives are misconstrued, men slandered
and maligned, it is refreshing to ce an
independent; journal step out' Into 'he
whirl of politics and defend the rood name
of our citizens.- ,
In the years that Colonel Ripple has lived
among us we have always found him In
the frdnt rank as a champion of Chils
tlanlty, morality and progress, evadmg
none of the duties of citizenship.' Me
has carried every responsibility laJdhipon
him with credit to himself and bono and
standing to the good name of ourVi'y.
