The riiilailelj.hla Kvcnlng TVlPffraph
Is moved by Governor Hastings' In
dorsement of Senator Quay's presiden
tial candidacy to Indulge itself In a
column of gross abuse nnd vitupera
tion. The .Telegraph, It U believed,
speaks only for Itself. It has always
had a sour stomach.
Vote the Straight Ticket.
With election day only four days off,
the tide toward Republican victory,
which began to rise about a fortnight
ago, gives every evidence of becoming,
nt the last, a tidal wave. It has al
reayd carried the candidacy of the head
of the ticket so far beyond the reach
of those who would pocrlllce him on
the altar of their factional grudges
that his election Is everywhere con
ceded, nnd the only remaining doubt
Is whether his plurality will equal or
exceed that oast for the present mayor,
three years ago.
Foreseeing that they cannot hope to
stop or retard the rush of fair-minded
electors toward Colonel Ripple, the
Democratic leaders and their Republi
can allies have sent out word to con
centrate the energies of the opposition
on Messrs. Boland and Hcblnson.
There is little reason to doubt that
every reserve force In the Democratic
camp. Including the small contingent
of Republican helpers, will from now
on be massed against Daniel Williams
and Fred J. Wldmoyer, the object being
to effect If losslbl9 their defeat up '.
then charge bad faith on the part of
their more successful colleague, thus
stimulating Republican dissension and
making easy another Democratic tri
umph next fall. This has been the plan
of the Democratic campaign from the
very first, but It was not brought Into
play until the drift of public sentiment
pointed unerringly to Colonel Ripple's
election. It can prevail only with help
from Republicans themselves. It will
completely fall If Republicans who
value party supremacy and have a
mind for their party's welfare do their
whole duty to the entire ticket.
With a wholesome and Inspiring vic
tory for that ticket In Its entirety
within easy grasp a. victory .not only
of value to the taxpayers of the city
through Its assurance that the honesty,
fidelity and enterprise which have al
ready characterized the Republican
party's control of municipal affairs In
Bcranton will be continued, but also
useful in the local Impetus which It
will give to Republican prospects In the
coming presidential election the ques
tion for every sincere Republican to
consider Is whether he can now afford
to falter. Let him remember that Tues
day's battle Is the skirmish line of con
test which w-ill determine for a gen
eration at least whether Republican
prosperity or Democratic hard times
shall prevail in this country; whether
there shall be profitable industry with
living wages or stagnant mills with idle
workers, despondent wives and
mothers, and unfed children.
The Democratic anxiety for at least
partial victory on Tuesday does not
arise from nor end with simply the
wish for two local offices. To capture
these offices would undoubtedly prove
gratifying to the political appetites of
the affected Democratic candidates;
but that Is not the sole nor the main
purpose In Democracy's desperate fight
for those offices. The real aim of the
Democratic managers, and the aim of
their present Republican coadjutors, is
to claim In Ripple's election, should he
win- and his colleagues lose, the proof
of Republican treachery, thus feeding
the fires of Republican factionalism so
as to Inure to future Democratic profit.
Republicans can rebuke this artful
scheme by voting their party ticket
straight, and the Republican who, on
Tuesday, shall vote otherwise than a
straight ticket will, consciously or un
consciously, play directly into Demo
cratic hands.
. -
Don't make the mistake of supposing
that loyal Republicans are going to
tab their party in February with the
hope of seeing It rise, to victory in No
vember. A Model Platform.
A perusal of the official report of the
proceedings of the National Association
of Manufacturers at Chicago strength
ens the earlier Impression that this new
organization Is destined to play a large
part In the sagacious shaping of nation
al opinion and legislation. Especially
apt. In substance and In form, Is Its
concise yet powerful platform, which
without waste of words seta forth:
"To the largest possible extent our'
home market should be retained and
supplied by oar own producers, and
our foreign trade relations should be ex
tended in every direction and manner
not Inconsistent therewith. The prin-
clple of reciprocity should be em
bodied In national legislation. In arroril
uni'i' with the require i::t nt: of equity,
so that reciii! o trade relation be
tween the I'nUed States unl foreign
countries may be developed ami extend
ed as far as practicable, relieving that
ships sailing under the flag cf the Unit
ed States should carry our entire mari
time commerce, and In view of the in
Jury thereto by subsidized foreign ship
ping, we declare n favor of a Judicious
system of subsidies as a means to the
complete restoration and extension of
our merchant marine. The Nicaragua
Canal being essential to the commerce
of the United States and of national Im
portance, we favor Its construction and
operation under the control of the fed
eral government. Our natural and arti
ficial water ways should be improved
and extended by the federal government
to the full needs of commerce, connect
ing the great lakes with the rivers of
the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic
seaboard."
It would be difficult, with as many
words, to say more than is said in this
enunciation of sensible national policy.
Hitch of the subjects advocated is sure
so to Impress Itself upon public favor
as to render its adoption Into law in
evitable. The Scranton Times yesterday gath
ered together a lot of Joseph A. Scran
tun's burnt powder und tried to set It
ablaze again, but the result proved dis
appointing. This is a Republican year.
Cameron on Cuba.
At a tlmt when most of the public
actions of Senator Cameron subject him
to sharp censure, It Is Interesting, as a
matter of vurlety. to discover one thing
which elicits compliment. The Wash
ington Post, discussing the minority re
port of the senate committee on foreign
affairs In relation to the situation of
affairs in Cuba, pronounces it the "best,
the most expeditious, and the most in
telligent solution of the problem that
has yet been offered. Mr. Cameron puts
aside the question of recognizing the
belligerency of the Cubans, for that, as
he very properly says, has been In fact
recognized by Spain already. What
Mr. Cameron urges Is that the president
shall "Interpose his friendly offices with
the Spanish government for the recog
nition of the Independence of Cuba.'
He sees nothing but fruitless delusion
for the Cubans, and unnecessary nnd
embarrassing complications for our
selves in a mere recognition of bellig
erency the formal acknowledgement
of something that exists with or with
out our recognition he asks for meas
ures that will lead to a cessation of
the barbarities which now prevail In
one of the fairest districts of the globe."
The Post summarizes this minority
report of Mr. Cameron by noting that
It "gives a brief but succinct and graph
ic history of the disturbances in Cuba
during the pust twenty-five years a
history which cannot be truthfully de
scribed except by saying that It Is one
unbroken chronicle of cruelty, oppres
sion, and infamous bad faith upon the
part of Spain. He shows by the testi
mony of such eminent Spaniards as
Martinez de Campos and Kmllio Cas
tclar, by the statements of Spanish
newspapers, and by the concurrent tes
timony of every envoy of the United
Slates who served at Madrid during
the period mentioned, that the Cubans
have been, the victims of such persecu
tion, such brutal tyranny, such spolia
tion, rapine, deceit, and heartless
treachery as would have disgraced the
corrupt and bloody reign of Nero or
Com mud us. Mr. Cameron Is right when
he declares that the existing situation
in Cuba Is a reproach to modern civil
ization and a menace to our own honor
and safety. He is right when he says
that we should offer to the Cubans,
struggling for their manhood and their
liberty, not an empty and delusive rec
ognition of belligerency, but an earnest
and determined Intervention in behalf
of their independence."
In the event of Cuba becoming a free
nation, we nominate Mr. Cameron as
our minister to Havana.
Fred J. Widmayer will be re-elected
city controller because by his good
record he has earned that compliment,
and because the voters of Scranton will
not write themselves down as being
Indifferent to conscientious and faith
ful service.
It Comes Too Late.
A gentleman who, although a native
of Philadelphia, had, until recently,
lived for twenty years in England,
where he was, regarded as British-born,
writes to the Record, apropos of the
present largely sentimental talk In fa
vor of an Anglo-American alliance:
"My business has led me into all classes
of English society, from high to low;
and I must Bay that the consensus of
English opinion Is anything but favor
able to America and the Americans.
In society I have hoard Americans
called rogues and scoundrels.. In the
lower walks of life, when an Impossible
tale is told the Englishman calls it 'an
American' which is equivalent to say
ing that it is a lie! The average Eng
lishman believes that Americans are a
lot of sharpers; and It has often amused
me to hear tradesmen say so when they
were willing to trust me an American
to any amount To sum up, I know
that the feeling of the majority of Eng
lishmen for Americans is one of sus
picion." It doubtless la true that we are partly
to blame for. this state of British opin
ion. If the grade of Americans who
comprise the bulk of trans-Atlantic
tourists would cease to toady to the
titular aristocracy of Albion and show
less appearance of a desire to "culti
vate" the favor of foreigners not bet
ter than themselves; In other words, If
the Yunkee abroad could divest him
self more thoroughly of the awkward
idea that there Is some fundamental
difference between Americans and ev
ery' other class of human beings, we
should probably soon grow In foreign
grace, and cease to be a target of for
eign quip and sarcasm. So long as we
are willing to make a Bhow of our
selves, we ought not to wonder at the
snickering of the spectators.
At the same time, there Is less excuse
for a misunderstanding of Americans
by Englishmen than by any other Euro
pean people. This fact condemns Eng
lishmen as Insular and narrow. That
the pride of maternity should be lost
sight of In a clumsy attempt to misin
terpret and belittle the offspring Is not
pur fault, but Mother England's shame.
It Is a serious bar to permanent re-
cim-llUtlo!!. The United Ptutis has
g'.t uloiit; pretty well f.ir more than
-urx tthhi.tit Knxlish appreciation.
English sympathy .r English io-opcra-tli.n;
unil It is r.ither lute in the day
for American Ansluinaniacs to enter
the idea that we ought new to begin
to defer ti su:-h a .parent. The whole
amount of It Is that Mr. l.aifour's
fancy of an Anglo-Saxon union Is a bit
of British hindsight which comes fully
fifty years too lute. Jonathan cun now

From the Olyphant Record.
Colonel Itlpple, ex-rnayor of the city of
Scranton and the present Uepiibllcan can
didate for that olflce, needs no letter ot
commendation to the electors of the Klec
trle City, lie hits been before the people
for many years both in the capacity of
a public olilclal and a private citizen, and
those who know him best bear unequivo
cal testimony to his Integrity und up
rlghtness. lie fulfilled the oftlce of mayor
with marked ability and unreserved de
votion. Tho duties devolving upon him
were faithfully discharged, and many
Scrantonlans today remember with grati
tude the courtesy of .Mr. Itlpple when
chief executive of their cliy. Jn all pub
lic enterprises and charitable movements
he is ever eo-operallntr, and whenever it
is in his power to confer a favor on the
humblest citizen, it is his pleasure to do
so. These are fads well known to all
who have had dealings with the colonel,
ile is a man with a great heart and a
ready hand.
All attempts to disparage such a man
will and must fall. No mud thrown at
111 in under cover of nepotism will stick.
His public life and private character are a
bullet-proof garb, that can never be
plercod by Parthian arrows of the guer
rlllas. The people delight In such a man
and upon his shoulders they will gladly
put the government of their city. All
the clamor of the disgruntled will nut
divert the attention of tlie Intelligent and
sober-minded electors from the man thuj
tested and 'tried, and supported by this
class, the linger of destiny points to Kzra
Kipple as the future mayor of the city of
.Scranton.
Kx-Mayor Hippie Is charged with being
tainted with "Connellism." That Is a se
rious crime indeed! Must canddates for
political olflce forswear friendly inter
course with honorable and prosperous citi
zens? Is It a crime to be on friendly
terms with successful business men? The
Idea of such a puerile charge is pre
posterous. Colonel Kipplu is no pup
pet. J lis record proves him to be a man
of strong character, with a. will of hts
own und capablo cf independent action.
No clique will rule him, and should be
asain called to preside over the destinies
of Scranton for another term, he will
never run the city In the Interest or class
or party.
The 1.1th Inst. Is the day of conflict.
All Republicans should go to tile polls
and loyally eland by the regular ticket
of the parly, and at tlm close of the day
the names of ltlpple-'llllam3-V.'tdmayer
et al. will ring victoriously through the
streets of the Klectrlc City.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: After a lengthy war of words dur
ing which period both armies have been
making great preparation for the conflict
which is to decide a question of great Im
portance on Tuesday next, 'the time is now
at hand when something besides talk
should be dune. The winning army must
now prepare itself In order that they may
be able to enter the great battle without
any prejudice, and record their vote with
out any hesitation, bearing In mind that
a warrior never hesitated to do straight,
forwurd shooting In a battle, as he would
be only throwing away his chance, and
placing himself a target for the enemy.
But unfortunately there seem to be
wolves in the camp this time In sheep
skins, and they never appear but for de
vouring purposes. Therefore watch tho
wolves closer even than you watch the di
rect enemy, as they are nearer to you,
and could play greater havoc among you
than the opposing army.
It is the important duty of every Welsh
voter to consider two things before re
cording his vote on Tuesday next.
First, whether his conscience allows or
directs him to throw away his vote for
spiteful purposes without proving him
self at the same time to be unworthy of
the franchise.
Second, does he lift himself to a higher
standard in the estimation of these hand
ful of revolters by throwing away his
vote, or is he, after careful consideration,
not placed on the same level as the par
rot, which simply repeats what It Is
told?
