Klcctlon Day. Leb. 18.
Reiiutor Quay's) expectation of a 2.000
plurullty for Itliiplu Tuesday Is prob
ably under the truth.
- -
The Common Sense Test.
The present municipal contest In this
city has attracted attention tliroiiKh
Mt the entire Htnte. Polll iclnns In ev
ery locality have expressed an Interest
In Its outcome rarely aroused by purely
local fights. The reason for this Inter
est, however, Is apparent. In a politi
cal sense the result of Tuesday's poll
Inu will transcend In Importance purely
municipal bounds and have a deckled
bearing upon the county and national
election next fall. The recent growth
of Republicanism Into popular favor
In Lackawanna county, as shown by
the steadily Increasing average plu
ralities cast for Republican nominees,
bus Invested a Lackawanna contest
with a unique significance, and made
it valuable as Indicating to the com
inon wealth In general how the political
tide Is flowing.
The Republican leaders of the state,
headed by Senator Quay, expect a He
publican victory on Tuesday, and will
be disappointed If every man on the
excellent Republican ticket Is not elect
ed by a generous margin. Such a vie
tory will give) them assurance that
Lackawanna Republicanism will be all
right for the larger battle next Novem
ber, the battle which will decide
whether Democratic panics, debts and
deficits shall continue to be the rule in
the land, or whether there shall lie a
return to wholesome Republican prin
ciples, under which the nation had Its
irramlest period of prosperity. On the
other hand, any faltering1 now would
be accepted by the Democracy as an en
couragemeni to renewed activity, and
would to this extent embarrass the
cause of Republicanism throughout the
state. We mention these obvious facts
Hlmply to show that there Is a duty
which Republicans owe to their party,
independent of factional feeling or per-
aortal prejudices, and that that duty is
conspicuously Involved in the present
campaign. - -
But even among men who care noth
ing for parties the Republican city
ticket eloquently invites support. In
Individual merit, in fitness for the pub
lic service, in that representative qual
ity which appeals to municipal pride,
It is by far the strongest ticket in the
field. Its personnel, it Is everywhere
conceded, could not be Improved. It
Ktands for and fittingly typifies the
liberal, progressive "plrlt of our city.
It is a worthy exponent of this aggres
sive and diversified community. No
citlaen need fear that by its election
the welfare of the city would suffer.
No taxpayer need feel apprehension
that under its administration of mu
nicipal affairs there would be careless
ness, Incompetency or scandal. As a
business proposition, its election would
bring ten-fold more real profit to the
community and produce corresponding
ly better results than would be true of
either the Democratic or the Prohibition
tickets. Judged either by political or
by business standards, it is pre-eminently
worthy of success.
In view of these facts it behooves the
conscientious elector to be prepared on
Tuesday to vote intelligently. It be
hooves him to lay aside personal bias or
factional misapprehension and look at
the real facts in the light of common
sense. As a taxpayer he is in the posi
tion of ths purchaser at the store who
wants the best return for his money.
Aa a Republican, sincere in his belief
In Republican principles and earnest in
his loyalty to Republican policies. It is
his duty to consider how his party may
best be served. If his party's nominees
be, as they admittedly are in this in
stance, true and worthy men, then his
duty to it coincides with his duty to
himself as a taxpayer and citizen, and
he should vote his party ticket straight.
Compare the official and private rec
ords of Colonel Ripple and Mr. Bailey,
anil then vote for the better man. Jf
this rule ba followed, no Republican
need fear tht result.
Slain by Its Friends.
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, is a
friend of sliver, but not a crank. He
haa no wish to injure one section of the
country at the expense of another sec
tion, nor is he so wedded to the white
metal idol that he axalta it above all
other considerations. Speaking upon
this subject at Chicago Wednesday he
aald:
"The course which the silver senators
have recently pursued haa a direct ten
dency to discourage every real friend
ot American' silver, and, in my judg
ment, if this country ever comes to a
permanent gold basis it will b because
of the extraordinary and unparalleled
policy which the so-called allvermen
have pursued in needlessly blocking
measuie. I believe that ull illKlltU't
matters of legislation shoulil stand on
their own merits. The free coinage
men hud a perfect right to propose their
own legislation, to debate it. and to
bring it to a vote in the senate: but It
was not American: it was not republi
can; it was not patriotic, to insist that
every bill, that every measure of relief
should be ridden to its legislative death
by a free and unlimited silver coimiire
amendment; and the men who ptand
as obstructionists in the remedial legis
lation of our country must answer to
the country for the disastrous results."
This Is the voice of plnin common
sense, as distinguished from the eso
teric fervor of the one-Idea zealots.
The truth of the matter seems to be
that silver is being done to death as a
redemption metal, not by its enemies
but by its fool friends.
A vote for Messrs. Fowler, Flckus
and Dawson, the Republican candi
dates for assessors, will be a vote for
continued fairness and intelligence In
the making of the city's assessments.
Republicanism Ably Defined.
When it comes to putting political
principles Into language that the veriest
tyro can understand, there are few pub
lic men more uifted than ex-(lovernor
McKlnley. Kor example, take the defi
nition of Republicanism which he out
lined in his speech on Lincoln's birth
day before the Marquette club of Chl
cugo. What could be simpler, plainer
or more to the point?
"No one," said he, "need be In any
doubt ubout whut Hi Republican
party stand for. Its own history
makes that too palpuble und clear to
admit of doubt. It stands for a reunit
ed and recreated nation, bused upon
free und honest elections In every town
ship, county, city, district, and state
In this great American union. It stands
for the American farm, the American
factory, mid the prosperity of all the
American people. It stands for a reci
procity that reciprocates and which
does not yield up to another country
a single duy'a labor that belongs to the
American workingmun. It stands for
International agreements which get
us much as they give. uwm terms of
mutual advnntnge. It stands for an
exchange of our surplus home products
for such foreign products as we con
sume but do not produce. It stands
for the reciprocity of lilalne; for the
reciprocity of Harrison; for the res
toration and extension of the principle
embodied In the reciprocity provision of
the Republican tariff of 1890.
It stands for a foreign policy dic
tated by and imbued with a spirit that
Is genuinely American; for a policy
that will revive the national traditions,
and restore the national spirit which
carried us proudly through the earlier
years of the century. It stands for
such a policy with all foreign nations
as will insure both to us and them
Justice, Impartiality, fairness, good
faith, dignity and honor. It stands for
the Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself
proclaimed It, about which there Is no
division whatever among the American
people. It stands now, as ever, for
honest money, and a chance to eurn it
by honest toll. It stands for a currency
of gold, silver, and paper with which
to measure our exchanges that shall
be as sound as the government and as
untarnished as Its honor. It stands for
a commercial policy that will whiten
every sea with the sails of American
vessels, flying wherever It flouts. H
stands for a system which will give to
the t'nlted States the balance of trade
with every competing nation In the
world. It Is for a fiscal policy opposed
to. debts and deficiencies in time of
peace and favors the return of the
government to a debt-paying basis and
opposes the continuance of a debt-mak
Ing policy."
Can these words be mistaken?
Mr. Robinson, the Democratic can
didate for city controller, ought to be
among the first to admit that Fred J.
Widmayer has done so well during his
first term that he deserves another.
Why should Mr. Robinson want the
taxpayers of Scrnnton to punish Mr.
Widmayer's faithful service? He does
not need Mr. Widmayer's place.
A Neighborly View of Quay.
In connection with the announcement I
of Senator Quay's presidential candi
dacy the Elmira Advertiser, ex-Senator
J. Sloat Fassett's paper, pays to
the Beaver statesman a tribute in
which all Pennsylvanlans will be Inter
ested. "Senator Quay," it remarks.
'has suffered more from the abuse and
wilful misrepresentations and the ma
licious falsehoods of the Democratic
press than any other prominent Re
publican now living. It has always
been dangerous for a public man to be
a successful Republican leader and or
ganizer. Zach Chandler was sent to
his grave covered with whatever oppro
brium a mendacious and unscrupulous
Democratic press was able to fasten
upon him; at the same time he led the
Republican party while he was chair
man of the national committee to sev
eral victories. Senator Quay won the
great campaign of 1888, for If ever a
rctory was snatched from the Jaws of
defeat, such was the result In that fa
mous campaign.
"Quay has been pursued by many
enemies. They have lied about him;
they have tortured facts into strange
and ominous shapes for the purpose of
doing him harm and bringing him to
disaster. But thus far he has risen
above all the attempts of his enemies
to Injure him. His last fight in the
state of Pennsylvania was one of the
most marvelous political struggles ever
known In this country. The genius of
the man showed Itself In the way he
used his victory. Ho used It to con
ciliate those who had opposed him. He
at once entered into more cordial rela
tions with Governor Hastings than
ever before; offered him his support In
case Hastings desired to be a presiden
tial candidate; allowed Hastings to
utilize for his own benefit and the bene
fit of his administration the victory
which Quay had achieved In spite of
Hastings. His greatness of spirit and
his sweetness of disposition added
largely to the number of his friends in
the state of Pennsylvania.
"Senator Quay. Is a most interesting
and fascinating character. He Is known
as the silent man.' He says little but
what he says is always to the point..
He is a great reader and a profound
abuse of bis enemies tha. ht is g-jer
ally dismissed by the opposition news
papers with u sneer us being nieieiv
practical machine politician. He Is far
more than that. He is a great pollti
cal general. Few men are so well
versed In the history of this country
rind In the history of European nations
an .Senator Quay."
There is very little doubt that Mr,
Fassett's view of Quay is the view held
by most men who have been active In
politics and who know bow easy it I
for honest purposes to be misconstrued
and honorable motives dlstorted-by the
hands of malice. It Is this admiration
of the so-called practical politicians,
that is to say, the politicians who ac
cept conditions as they exist and do
their best to bring good out of them
through the medium or political organl
zatlon, which makes Senator Quay's
candidacy strong In Its own behalf. As
for the charges which have been made
against him hitherto, the fact that he
has survived them politically and
gained strength among the people in
spite of them, would seem to Indicate
that they would be Ineffectual to en
compass bis defeat should the St. Louis
nomination fall on his Shoulders
In view of the faut that the presen
city treasurer is a Welshmun. could the
defeat of Daniel Wlllluinu by the votes
of his own countrymen be Interpreted
otherwise than us a lack of confidence
by Welshmen in the fitness .of Welsh
men for the city trasurershlp? Let
every Kepublicun vote for Williams,
The Viaduct's Cost.
The fear that the viaduct would cost
In excess of $150,000 overlooks the fact
that optlonB have already been secured
upon all the property proposed to be
bought, and that these leave no doubt
as to the city's ability to construct the
Improvement within the limit tlxed In
the Oliver ordinance.
The vlad.net Is worth, to the city, In
Its ultimate benefits, probably ten times
ll'iO.miO; but there need bo no appre
henslon that the net cost to the tax
payers will exceed present representa
tions. At that price It is the best nui-'
nicipul bargain that could be secured
Vote for the viaduct!
A vote for the vluduct will be a vote
for justice for 30,000 taxpayers of this
city whose business Is Impeded, nnd
whose lives are now endangered by the
present perilous state of West Lacka
wanna avenue. It will also be u vote
of Invitation to the Greater, because
united, Si ran ton that Is to be.
A vote for Daniel Williams for city
treasurer will be a Vote of recogni
tlon of private business honesty. In
tegrity and enterprise, coupled with a
reasonable acknowledgment of the
clulms of Hyde Park, with its more
than 30,000 population, to a voice in the
city government.
.A vote for Colonel Ezra H. Ripple for
mayor will be a vote of censure upon
wunton abuse of respected and gen
erous citizens, upon party treachery
and upon hack-stabbing and hypocrisy.
It will be a vote of confidence in tried
tnd tested manhood.
A vote for Fred J. Widmayer for city
controller will be a vote to reward good
service already rendered to the taxpay
ers of Hcranton. Jt will be a vote
against public ingratitude.
