Even the most sanguine promoters
of Saturday night's mass meeting were

of an assemblage to be attracted or
enthused to any great degree by such
a means. It was a sensible, sober
thinking collection of Htiswns who
came to be convinced of what they
already believed or to lend cni-inirage-meiit
by their presence to the men of
the party who hail planned the gath
ering. It was an extraordinary, political
meeting in one respect. That M, that

of the Democratic candidates!, and
they were not even mentioned
deiogiitlvely, except in fair i-omparl-suns
made to show the superior fitness
of the Kcpubllcun candiduteH. The

iinpressintr this fact upon their hearers
was evidenced by the sympathy of the
audience, which found frequent vent
In cheers, ejaculations of endorsement
and other like manifestations of ap

to abuse anyone, not to throw mud, not
to reply to falsehoods in ungenerous
terms, but to discuss in a fair, open
manner the Issues of the municipal

This announcement was greeted with
vociferous and continued applause and
It was some moments before he could
make himself heard in introducing the

ance was the signal for another burst
of apnlause. When it had subsided he
launched forth In his usual stralght-frotn-the-shoulder
fashion Into one of
the most en est speeches that he has
probably eviV delivered from a Scran

"Our chairman has told you truly,"
sold he, "that we are not here to throw

about myself.

'I am a Republican because ltls the
better party of the two. I do not suy
that It Is the best party we coukj nave,
but it la the best party for Northeast
ern Pennsylvania. I tried awfully
hard to be a Democrat, but I coulcln t
continue to tote one 'way and think
another. That's why I am a liepubll
can. 'I am charged with having bcen a
Democrat, with having been a tem-
ocratlc muyor. I was elected mayor In
opposition to thp Democrats for two
successive terms by the Labor Oreen
bock party of this city und the last
time I ran for mayor It was on a .Dem
ocratic nomination. Before six months
of that term rolled round I saw my
mistake. I could not agree with the
leaders of that Darty: they could not
agree with me: they themselves said I
was not a Democrat, nnd I agreed with
them In that. If In nothing else.
Hut after two years of Democracy
I vowed I would not accept another
nomination from them and I did not.
By consulting the newspaper files of
Aug. 3, 1S72, you will find my name en
rolled as a member of the flrant and
Wilson Republican club. I was a lie-
puhlican then and I have believed In
Uepub icanism ever since, ir i was not
the son of an Irishman no man would
class me as n Democrat.
I have cnrel'ully read the constitu

and fall to find that they contain any
provision that gives the Democratic
party a claim on an Irishman. We
will be told tomorrow, as we havo br-en
told every Sunday of late, and in fact
every other day, that Irishmen have
been debauched because they have been
asked to vote for Republican candi

with a committee and prove it. Two
men were a his office Just before he
left, he said, and they told him with
out reserve that they had been told to
vote for Bailey by the Brlsgs' shaft
foreman.
Then referring to the Music hall con
vention and particularly the Incident
following John II. Fellows' mandate
"Follow me." Mr. Powderly said. "That
I wus the most servile manifestation of
bossism I ever witnessed. It was a
prearranged plan or it could nut have
carried out so mechanically. There is
not one man, to speak honestly, who is
opposed to a political boss, except the
man who would bo a politician boss
himself. Note the men who are shout
lug 'bossjsui' and you will find them to
be those who want to be leaders them
selves. "I had the pleasure of sitting n the

uuswer you. from Appamatox.' This
Hume question applies In the present
occasion. If you usk "Whence comes
our candidate for mayor?' I answer,
'from beyond the dead line of Ander
Fonvlllo prison pen.'
Come to llnrv Bnllev,
"lie Is a mun who has spent his whole
life among you. He is not an Importa
tion simply bn i'ght here to he voted
for. We are not In favor of the Imported
article. I did not come here to say any
thing against Mr. Bailey. Nor will I
praise him. 1 came to bury Bailey, not
to praise him. 1 ask you now to help
nie dig the grave and on next Tuesday
to throw u shovel full of earth on the
corpse.
"I am wealing the Connell ' collar
around my neck tonight, and I ask you
to weur it also." Mr. Fowderly ut this
point read an extract from a letter
written by him In 1SD0, six years ago,
In which he said that worklngmen em
ployed by Mr. Connel! told him they
did not want for anything, even though
the times were nurd, because Mr. Con
nell hud given orders ut his stoles that
none of his workmen should be refused
provisions or necessaries during the
hurd times whether they were working
or Idle.
"Personully 1 owe Mr. Connell nothing
but my good will, but every Scranton
lun must respect and honor the mun
who has done bo much to promote home
industries and Scran ton prosperity He
did not take his money to New York,
to Boston or to Philadelphia, he did not
build a paluce ut Newport. No. he

In constructing for the good of all was,

grateful or base enough to reward such
by mud slinging and dagger thrusts?
Is it not our duty to resent the Insults
heaped upon two of our foremost citi
zens by heaping a pile of ballots upon
their representatives next Tuesday.
"A year ago Mr. Bailey was not a
cttlten of Hcranton. I do not know that
he is such now, we do know that Col
onel Rliple is a part and panel of
Scran ton itself, his Interests and ours
are identical
"Think well on the merits and claims
of the two men who were presented to
you as candidates for mayor. On the
one hand Is a man tried and true, on the
other hand who was imported from the
country to run. Vote as you think best
but if you vote as I think you will vote
for Colonel Ella H. Ripple."
The next speaker was District Attor
ney John R. Jones. He said that he
knew he was addressing an assemblage
of the representative citizens of Scran
ton, Interested In good government and
anxious that the men elected to oflice
shall possess all the qualifications ne
cessary to give the people a pure, hon
est and uncorrupt government. In this
country and In this state It makes no
difference how poor a man may be. If
he have ambition, true manhood, perse
verance and a desire to succeed in life,
he can mount the ladder of fume
whether it leads to wealth or high of
ficial position. He cited the Immortal
Lincoln as an Illustration. In the pres
ent city campaign the Republican tick
et. Ripple, Williams, Widmayer, Fow
ler, Flckus and Dawson, represents all
the qualifications of sterling worth and
honesty, and Mr. Jones predicted they
would be elected by triumphant majori
ties. In concluding Mr. Jones proposed
three cheers for Ripple and the ticket,
and they were given with a will.
1 he Ut'-er Speeches Vsde.
While Mr. Jones was talking Major
Everett Warren and A. J. Colborn ar
rived in the hall from the meeting on
the South Hide, where euch of them
had made a speech. Major Warren, In
a short but telling address, said among
other things: "They say Colonel Rip
ple was nominated not by the Republi
cans, but by Republicans and Dem
ocrats. Well. then, let us elect him as
the nominee of both oartles. Mr. Bai
ley Is no more fitted to be mayor than
I am. He has never been even a mem
ber of the common council. If he was
elected he wouldn't know the way into
the mayor's office. His short residence
here does not Justify turning down Col
onel Ripple for htm. This great and
growing city needs a man In the execu
tive cliulr who. If he has not been there
before, should at least be equipped for
the oflice."
Ater speaking briefly of each of the
Republican candidates In turn. Major
Warren made nn appeal for unity and
personal work and prophesied a glori
ous victory.
Mr. Colborn also made a strong pli
for unity. "This Is a year," he said,
"when we want no discord. In the
coming full elections we want this
county to roll up a big majority. It
takes successful district to make suc
cessful townships and boroughs and
cities, and these must give victory If
we want a victorious county; counties
must be carried If we want to carry
states, and carrying the states we carry
the nation. We do not want four more
years of innocuous desuetude. Let the
Republican banner float triumphantly
on next Wednesday morning. Let the
world know that Scranton has gone Re
publican once more. The world will be
Interested, for Hcranton is a great part

NEW CHURCH IN SCRANTON
Differs from Ail Christian and Other
I'orms of Worship.
ITS VEKY LIlinKAL HELIEF
Heaven in a Material Sense Is Like This
World but Perfect- llcll Is Not
u Place of I tcrnul
Torment.
There Is to be a new church In Scran
ton, not a new temple, but a new faith,
for the first time presented publicly In
our i Ity, n new Christianity, which
claims to be as different from all other
forms of belief. Christian or other
wise, as the Christian church itself
was different from the religions of Jews
und (entiles in ancient times.
For inuny years there has existed In
Hcranton a small circle of persons who
accept the doctrines revealed through
Kmunut-l Swedenborg, the famous
Swedish philosopher and theologian.
No efforts huve been made, however, to
meet for public worship or pronounce
the teachings of "the new church" in
a general way. until yesterdsy. when
Rev. C. Theodore Odhner, of Philadel
phia, conducted divine services and
preached on the sublect of the Incar
nation in the cheerful school room at
411' Adams uvenue. In the evening Pro
fessor id liner delivered a lecture on
the "Life and Character of Kinanuel
Swedenborg," and the leading doc
trines of The New Church, contrasting
these with the general teuchliigs of the
"old church," Protestant us Well us
Catholic.
iCmanuel Swedenborg was born on
Jan. !. MM, und died on Dec; 29, 1772.
He was the son of u fumous Swedish
bishop, Jesper Swedenborg, who Is
known in the history of America us the
bishop over the old Swedish churches
In Delawure und Pennsylvania. F.nian
Uel received an excellent education and
soon achieved fume, first hs ii writer of
Lutln poetry, then as a brilliant mathe
matician, nuval engineer, metallurgist,
geologist, astronomer and nalural
philosopher, whose works and discov
eries rivalled those of Newton.
lie Was In High Favor.
By the great wur lord, Charles XII,
"the madman of the North," Sweden
borg was uppninted assessor in the
Royul College of Nurles, and con
tinued In hl?h favor with this mon
arch. In 1719 Swedenborg was en
nobled by Queen Ulrica Kleonora, the
sister and successor of Charles XII.
Being a man of fortune, he made fre
quent foreign Journeys, publishing
abroad the great scientific works which
soon placed him in the front rank of
European learning. His one great aim
was to find a scientific road to the
knowledge of the human soul, and In
this pursuit his attention was more and
more drawn to the study of the human
body, on which subject he published a
number of volumes, which to this day
stand unrivalled in penetration und ra
tional deduction.
While thus engaged he began, about
the year 1736, to have peculiar spiritual
experiences which culminated In 174:1,
when, as he solemnly declared, the
Lord himself appeared to him In per
son, calling him to the office of reveal
ing to mankind the doctrines of the
New Jerusalem, which. In the form of
a new, spiritual church, was about to
descend to earth. From that hour
Swedenborg gave up an worldly pur
suits and devoted himself to the ex
ploration of the mysteries of the Word
of God and of the splrittiul world,
which now were onened before his
eyes. I'ntil the day of his death he
continued to have open and conscious
communications with the Inhabitants
of the other world, and to write and
publish the many and wonderful writ
ings in which the doctrines of the New
Jerusalem were revealed by the direct
Inspiration and dictation of God hlm
Belf. I ndcrstood It in Its Spiritual Sense.
These doctrines he based upon the
Word of Hod. ns understood In its In
ternal or spiritual sense, which Is with
in the "Bible" or the literal sense, ns
the soul Is within the body, nnd with
out which the Bible cannot be under
stood. The fundamental doctrine of the
New Church Is this: There Is only one
Cod, in one Divine person, the Lord
Jesus Christ, while nil other churches
hold that there are three persons In
the God-head, each of whom Is Ood
by himself, and yet only one God. This
Swedenborg declared to be un-Biblical
and irratlo'ial. He admits a Divine
Trinity, but holds thai this exists in the
one Divine person, as there is a trinity
of soul, body and operations In each
man.
Starting from this point, the New
Church denies the vlcai ions atonement,
the bloody .sacrifice of Christ, and the
sulvatiou by faith alone, and holds thut
the Father hlmsel'euine down to earth,
took upon himself human nature, made
this divine by victory over ull evils in
festing man, thus bnaking the power
of hell nnd redeeming mankind. The
blood of Christ Is the divine truth,
which He revealed to men. mid men
are saved by this, not merely by believ
ing In it. but by obeying it and living it.
The New Church, among other
things, denies the resurrection of the
body, and holds that man arises, three
days after death, In a spiritual body,
which has a perfectly human form. The
other wot Id is a real world. Including
all real things, to which man is accus
tomed ih this life. At first he woken
up in a world. Ititer-iiiedlat 'd between
heaven and hell, and here he is pre
pared for heaven or judged to hell. The
latter is not a sea of material lire, but
the grand society of all evil persons,
who continually burn In the fire of evil
lusts. The worst punishment nnd tor
ture In hell Is that the devils are
forced to abstain from evil-doing and
compelled to work and be of use to the
neighbors.
What They Believe Heaven !.
Heaven Is not a cloudland. where the
angels forever fly about with wings on
their backs, praying und shouting and
"loafing 'round the throne." but heaven
Is a kingdom of uses, a world of love to
God and love toward the neighbor,
which Is expressed by the performance
of good works and uses. Hence the
angels find their highest happiness in
the various occupations of their call
ings. There are three distinct heavens,
one above the other, and Innumerable
societies.
The angels have nil been men on
earth, and they lead perfect human
lives, have cities and temples and man
sions, garments and real food, all of
varying magnificence and splendor. All
children who die on earth are educated
by the angels until they grow up. All
the angels are married and remain t
I'RKD. J. WIOMAYKU.
eternity with one partner, for whom
they huve been created. Old men and
women become young and beautiful
aguiu in heaven, und find ever-increasing
happiness in married love.
Such are some of the leading princi
ples of the New Church, to which must
be added, that Swedenborg declares
thut the lust judgment and the second
advent uf thu Lord have ulreudy taken
place, the former In the spiritual world.
In the year 1757. and the latter in the
new divine levelatl of truth, which
was brought down to men In the In
spired wrtilnga of the New Jerusalem.
The New Church Is the distinctive or
ganization of those who have accented
these now doctrines, and its members
believe thut this church will, though
very slowly, be spread in all lands,
cover the earth and remain to eternity.
Swedeuburg's writings ure now trans

Kuropeun und some Asiatic languages,
and societies und general organizations
huve been established, especially in
KngUnd and America, hut also In Swe
den. Germany, Switzerland. Italy,

The effort now begun In Scranton
will be continued by public worship, to
be conducted by ministers from Phila
delphia on the third Sunday of every
month, ut 412 Adums uvenue. Here,
