Get Together for Victory.
There is no denial of the fact that
Fred J. Wtdinayer has made a good
city oflicial. There can be nun1. Ills
record ahowa too plainly the stamp of
honesty, efficiency and constant atten
tion to duty. Th only argument ad
vanced why he ahould be defeated for
city controller la that another gentle
man, a Democrat, Mr. Edmund Robin
son, who has never had experience in
the poBitlou and whose fitness for it Is
a matter aa yet undetermined, wants
Mr. Widmayer's place, lie does not
need It. Financially Its salary is of no
concern to Mr. Koblnson, who could
make dollars out of office where he
could only make cents In office. His
only motive in seeklne the place is to
llgure In politics: and while this is his
right as an American citizen, beyond
question or cavil, it Htlll Is the right of
the voters of the city to consider
whether they care to gratify Mr. Rob
inson's personal ambition ut the ex
pense of one who during three yeura
of unusual responsibility has served
them with signal fidelity and ability.
The voters may conclude, and we hope,
in fairness to Mr. "Wldmayer, that they
Will decide, to let Mr. Robinson wait
until he can be elected to nn office with
out displacing a public Bervant already
tried and true.
For the office of city treasurer, a
position of great responsibility, a posi
tion which should command the very
best business ability and Integrity in
the city, a position whose occupant
should be an example to young men
just starting out in life, teaching them
the value of honesty, accuracy and
fidelity to trusts, the Republican party
present the name of Daniel Williams,
a respected and upright business man
of Hyde Park, a representative of the
sturdy Welsh-Americans of our mu
nicipality, who contribute largely to
the city's taxes and are therefore en
titled to a voice in the executive admin
istration of its affairs.' Mr. Williams,
during a.successf ul business career, lins
proved his ability, his sagacity and his
personal honor. That in his hands the
finances of the city would be safe has
not been and cannot be questioned.
There In no Intimation from any quar
ter that Mr. Williams presents. In IiIb
candidacy, less than the highest fitness,
the most Indubitable personal trust
worthiness. It should be a pleasure for
his friends and neighbors on the West
Side, the men who have known him In
timately during many years, the men
whose countryman he Is. to rally to his
support, both because he Is a Republi
can, representing those principles
which every Republican holds dear,
and because he la, moreover, a man In
dividually worthy of the entire support
of his party. If they do this, his elec
tion will Burely follow. - i
We regard the fight for Colonel Rlp-i
pie as wtn. The batter'es of detrac
tion have exhausted their ammunition.
His friends are now comlnu to the
front, and their name is legion. The
next mayor of this city will be a Repub
lican, and his plurality will astound
the doubters. But in the gratification
over this happy assurance let no Re
publican forget for an instant his duty
to the remainder of the ticket.
The victory next Tuesday can and must
be won without the loss of a man. All
that is necessary to this desirable end
Is for Republicans everywhere, sinking
personal soreness, personal disappoint
ment, personal disaffection of any and
every kind, to remember their party,
its obligations and its duties. While
the leaders In the state are burying
the hatchet of factionalism, under the
joint personal command of Senator
Quay and Governor Hastings, the real
Republicans of Scranton, whatever
their past feeling- of division, certainly
can, in the Interval between this and
next Tuesday, get together like men
for their party's excellent ticket, pre
paratory to winning at the presidential
- fall election the biggest victory on
record. . ',; - :
The presidential contest, so far as Re
publicans are concerned, seems to be
already a case'of anything to beat Mc
Klnley. - - .
How to Carry ths Viaduct.
At the very utmost, the proposed
West Lackawanna avenue viaduct will
I not cost the Individual' voter of Reran
ton more than,- the -price of a glass of
soda-water or. an Indifferent cigar. It
will facilitate travel of alt kinds be
tween 30,000 people on the one hand
and 80.000 on the other; it will save
. . time, money" and lives and 'finally. It
.-' will be an Important .link In (he evolu
tion of the united Scranton which, day
by day: la peine built tip upon the old
' .;,;-V:,-": - v
sectional foundations soon doomed to
merge Into a compact metropolitan
city.
- The .viaduct does not detract from. It
Will supplement the bridges. We tuke
back nothing ever said In this paper In
favor of the bridges. They were neces
sary. They will, in due season, abun
dantly repay their cost. It Is not re
quired of us or of you to weigh them
agalnBt the viaduct or to take them into
the present account at all. The fuct
which needs to be kept in view is that
under present conditions the travel and
traffic of 30,000 taxpaylng citizens of
Scranton are impeded and their lives
and our lives endangered by the lack
of an qverhcad crossing at the network
of Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern railway tracks at the western end
pf the city's main-traveled thorough
farea condition as intolerable, unpro
gresslve and dangerous as any one can
imagine.
Had the viaduct project earlier
reached Its present practical and defi
nite basis, it would never have met
with postponement. The fairniinded
citizenship of this liberal city enn see
for itRelf that a viaduct Is necessary.
So long as the plans for one left the
question of dumages open, there was
reluctance In yielding assent; now
however, that the whole subject hns
reached an exact understanding, the
measure's success Is easily assured if
every believer In municipal progress,
on the West Side and In the remainder
of the city, will go to the polls on
Tuesday and do a citizen's whole duty
In the meantime, the Turk has his
own bloody way, just as If nothing un
usual had happened.
In the Interest of Harmony. .
Senator Quay personally disclaims
having had any part (in it lie latest
launching of 'his candidacy for the
presidency. Nevertheless the roove
ment begun by State Treasurer-elect
Haywood will not be barren of good
results. It has already sufficed to In
dicate the willingness of the vast ma
jority of those lately In arms against
Colonel Quay to accept with manly
trraee the fortunes of war and to ac
cord' to his superior leadership the ac
quiescence which It merits. This, In
Itself. Is a harbinger of restored party
harmony and a notification to the com
man enemy that it, had better beware.
Tin? cordial expression of Clovernor
Hasting- In behalf of reconciliation
coupled with his voluntary proffer of
support. Is peculiarly grateful and op
portune. That In the late division of
party sentiment In thla state there
were needless misunderstandings on
both sides has been amply shown In
the Interval of mutual investigation
which has followed the Quay triumph
of last August. Throughout the state
the conditions during that light were
In many respects not unlike those In
this county, where clashing local In
terests fought for or against Quay not
nearly so much out of veal friendship
for or antipathy against the Junior
senator as out of circumstances In the
shaping of which the senator had no
conscious part. In the excitement of
spirited contention things were un
doubtedly said and done on both sides
which may well be mutually consigned
to forgetf illness In the common In ter
ests of party unity; and with a presi
dential election less than nine months
distant, the example of the hartnon
Ized leaders of the party in the state
will surely not be lost on the honest
Republican rank-and-file.
If the presentation of Senator Quay's
name ob a presidential candidate be
fore the St. Louis convention will tend
tocompletethe-cementing of former dis
pensions and lead to a better recognl
tlon of the claims of Pennsylvania as
the banner champion of aggressive
Republicanism umong the American
states, it . should be cheerfully made
and sustained by the entire party.
While there need not be any fostering
of delusive hopes as to the probabilities
of securing for Colonel Quay the conr
vention's nomination, such a rallying
of the Pennsylvania delegation about
a Pennsylvania candidate would not be
without future usefulness, both' with
reference to political alms connected
with the next administration and like
wise In the larger sense of a precedent
for the coming years which must sooner
ov later bring with them a national
acknowledgement of the political de
mands of the Keystone stats.
The Weyler programme in Cuba Is
to be a reproduction of the Indlan-and-Tory
assassination tactics once tried
by England on the united colonies. It
will be remembered that the British
programme failed.
An Expensive Luxury.
It Is worth remembering that the re
cent "popular" loan was the fourth
brought out while John O. Carlisle has
been secretary of the treasury. The
first one,ln January, 1S94 was on $.',0,000.-
000, five per cent, ten year bonds, which
were sold at 117.2-3, or on a throe per
cent, basis. The second loan of $50.-
000,000, five per cent., ten year bonds of
the same issue, . which were sold In
November, 1S94, went for 117.077, or on
a 2 per cent, basis. The third which
was made last February; was of $62.-
3 1 5,400 four per cent, thirty year bonds
at 104.496, or on a 3 per cent, basis.
On the first issue the Interest to ma
turity will aggregate $2f,O00,000. On
the second, deducting one coupon, the
lnterest.wlll be $22,500,000. On the third
the Interest for thirty years will be
about $74,500,000, while on the present
Issue of $100,000,000 the Interest for
twenty-nine years will amount to $110,
000.000, making a total of about $2n8,-
000,000 In interest alone, which the ob
ligations created during Secretary Car
lisle's term of office will cost the coun
try. Added to the principal of these
four Issues, which amount to $262,000,
000, the total obligations amount to
$4!7.000,0OO.
The four years of Cleveland's admin
istration have cost the country.in direct
money losses, more than twice the cost
of the civil w;ar. Democratic suprem
acy Is an expensive luxury.
Those supporters of Governor Mor
ton for the presidency who try to Im
press upon the people of other states
that they are serious in their allegiance
are having, very naturally, a hard road
to travel. . While everybody respects
Governor Morton personally and con
cedes his entire amiability, there is a
widespread Impression that the presi
dency of the United States Is a posi
tion calling for sterner and more com
manding qualities than mere good na
ture. The figurehead Idea Is less popu
lar today than ever before In connec
tion wltlv an office fraught with the
grave responsibilities, of the presidency.
The report of the special commission
appointed to Investigate the Nlcarugua
canal project Is to the effect that the
canal would cost double Jlrst expecta
tions. That, however, la not necessar
ily decisive until It be known whether
It would not also be worth double.
As the leader of his party In the state,
proved such by the walloping he gave
us "Combiners" last year, Senntor
Quay Is entitled to the support of the
state delegation at St. Louts; and If
he wants It, he ought to have It.
England's decision to lay her case be
fore the American Venezuelan com
mission Is In the nature of a, back
down for Lord Salisbury, but that can
not be called unexpected.
Don't forget the Republican candi
dates for city assessors. Messrs. Fowl
er, Flckus and Dawson are practical,
experienced men, who can safely be
trusted.
The best plan when you have good
city government, as we admittedly have
In St-ranton, is to take no unnecessary
chances.

State Trcnsurer Men Huywoud was here
the other day ami after xeveral confer
ences Willi guay lie gave out whul lie
desired understood to be un authorized In
terview from the Junior senator. In this
interview .Mr. Haywood stated mot ein
ppnileally tliut Senator Quay was a i:un
di'late for the Republican presidential
nomination, and that the solid delegation
to -the .St. l.ouis convention would be u
unit tor him. Doubting the veracity of
Mr. Haywood's interview 1 calletl on Sen
ator tjuuy today ami asked him If he hud
authorized the statement. Senator Quay
saiil:
"I did not authorize Mr. Haywood to
make any such stulenient."
"Hut are you u cttitdldute?" I asked,
"No," replied the senator.
"If the Pennsylvania ileleKatlon pre
sents your name to the convention will
you decline to accept Its vote?"
"Well, now. that Is a different proposi
tion," said the senutor smiling. "If my
friends think they can eeetire a solid del
enutlou from Pennsylvania for me let
them go ahead. In my opinion, however,
they will be unable to accomplish .such
u thing."
"Vou will he able to control a majority
of the delegates, will you not?" I asked.
"Oh, yen; there Is no question about
that, hut I have my doubts about being
able to control a solid deleKatlon."
The report of his i-anlida-y was dis
cussed by the members of I'oitKress from
Pennsylvania. A majority of the members
were not incllneii to believe the story, but
were of the opinion that if Senator Quay
were a candidate the solid deleKatlon
onaht -to vote for him.
It Is understood that the combine will
not oppose Quay If he Is a candidate him
self, but they will not allow him to hand
the solid vote of Pennsylvania over to
anybody he may choose unless hU candi

My old friend, ex-Lieutenant Governor
Ohatincey V. BInck. the same of York, is
In town. He is opposed to the nomination
of ex-Oovernor Pattlnon for president.
Governor Black Is also opposed to Boss
Harrity's pernicious unit role system, and
says an effort will be made at the state
convention to knock It out. If they fall
there, a liaht atrainst it will be made on
the floor of the national convention.
"It Is not fnlr to comoel a deleKate to
vote nealnat his own wishes or those of
his constituents," said the ex-lieutenant
Bnvernor rather hotly. "Under Mr.- Hdr
rlty's wig rule one man controls the entire
vote of the solid delegation. The Indi
vidual delegate Is like a 'bound boy at a

Governor Black voices 'the sentiment

WORI14 OF TM TII ANnJTSTICE.
Prom the Scranton Truth.
The sentiment of this entire community
Is felicitously expressed toward Mr. Wil
liam Connell In the admirable, letter of
Justice Hand, which we copy elsewhere
from this morning's Tribune. Mr. Connell
needs no defense from any source, but
when his enemies are stirring up the em
bers of falsehood with hell's pitchforks
and trying to fill the air with the pestilent
vapors of their lies, his friends, too, have
a right. to speak nnd tell how warmly he
Is regarded by thousands of his fellow
citizens.
Even when no defense of a man or a
cause Is necessary,' tt Is permissible ami
even desirable to meet the envenomed at
tacks of petty slander with the words of
truth. The world too often falls to ap
preciate Its best men until after their
death. Ve have had examples of it right
here In Scranton, In the cose of some pub
lic spirited men whose unselfish efforts for
the community were not appreciated till
after they died, and when we heard the
postmortem laudations which assailed their
unheeding ears we nave felt now much
better tt would have 'been had some of
that appreciation found expression before
Death came to destroy its savor. In this
enlightened day and generation when the
diffusion of lluellln.-nce la so general we
hoiild not stone our prophets to death
ami then build monuments to thrlr mem
oiy. We should know tnoc.ih to know
them In their life time mid to appreciate
them while they are with us.
The words of Justice Hand deserve to
he pondered carefully and seriously by
every thinking man In Scranton. be hn
Democrat. Republican or Prohibitionist.
If a political campalun may be made
the pretext for vilifying every public
itpirlted citizen of character und Integrity
who muy sec tit to Interest himself In
it, then Indeed Is -'Justice lied to brutish
beasts", and our politics lit only for the
unclean.
But we have hope of much better things
even In Scranton, and we believe there
Is a sufficient number of self-respecting
voters In this city to vindicate with their
ballots the Interarlty of true and aterlins
manhood. Such letters as that of Justice
Hand, and that of Mr. J. A. Lansing,
printed In yesterday's Truth, nro on in
centlve to the formation of honest Judg
mcnts upon honorable men, and we sin'
rereiy trust there may be more of them
during the campaign. The little polltl
clans and peddlers of falsehood should
not be permjltted to have a monopoly of
public attention even in "these piping
times of peace."
