KEPI BLIC AN STATE CONVENTION.
To tha Republican elector of Pennsylv
iIh.
Tlia Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
tbelr duly choiien representatives, will
meet In state convention Thursday. April
la. 189, at II) o'clock a. m., In tha opera
house, city of Harrisburg, for the pur
pose of nominating two candidates for
representative-t-lurge In congress and
thirty-two candidate for presidential
elector, the selection or elgnt ueieu-ies-t.lm
to th Hxiiuhllcan national coil'
veirtlon, and for the tranaactlon of such
other business a may be presented.
By order of the state committee.

Secretaries.
A good idea to keep in mind in this
period of pre-conventlon roorbacks li
that tha man who gets nominated in
June will hava to get elected in No
vember.
Elect Quay Delegates.
The calls which have been Issued for
delegate elections in the First and
Fourth legislative districts will soon
bring before the Republicans of those
districts tha duty of electing; delegates
to the state convention which will as
semble at llarrtsburg on April 23. This
convention will nominate delegates- at
large to the St. Louis convention,
choose two candidates for congress
men-at-large, select presidential elect-ors-at-large
and perhaps designate a
state chairman to succeed Senator
Quay, although It is possible that he
may wish to be continued in that posl
tlon for another year.
In view of tha practical certainty
that Congressman-at-large- Grow will
lis unanimously accorded a renoinlna
tlon, the chief Interest of Lackawanna
Republicans in the April convention
'Will center in the selection of the eight
national delegates-at-lurge. This year,
for the first time since the birth of the
Republican party the banner Republl
can state of Pennsylvania, hitherto the
Willing supporter of presidential candi
dates from other states, has a serious
candidacy of its own. That candidate
may or may not win. But he at least
is entitled, as the leader of his party In
the commonwealth which holds the
record for great Republican majorities,
to the support of his state so long as
he Is a cundidate;. and it Is the duty
ns it will no doubt be the pleasure of
the Republican voters' of the First and
Fourth' legislative districts to choose
ns delegates to the forthcoming state
convention men who will favor the
election of national delegates-at-large
in the Interest of the presidential can
dldavy of Senator M. B. Quay.
In tha primary elections of one year
ago, in the thick of a factional fight
precipitated, so far as this county was
concerned, by men who thought more
of personal interests than they did of
Senator Quay, whose name they em
ployed when appealing for popular sup
port, it was shown that the senator
had a large and an enthusiastic follow
Ing. Today, with the party, through
out tha state re-unlted, and with Gov
ernor Hastings himself preparing to
make the speech nominating Senator
Quay at St. Louis, there will doubtless
be no serious dissent in Lackawanna
county, to the election of state dele
gates favorable to the senator's candi
dacy. Such a unanimity of support for
an eminent son of our great Republi
can state need not Imply a luck of con
fidence in any of the other cundidutes
fur presidential honors. There Is no
reason why it should excite opposition
from any who favor McKlnley, or Keed,
or Allison. The Republicans of Ohio,
of Maine and of Iowa are not divided In
their fealty. The fair principle of state
pride Is of itself a sufficient justifica
tion for the rallying of Pennsylvania
Republican around the standard of
Senator Quay, just as it has caused the
Republicans of these other states" to
Ink minor differences in behalf of
their respective favorites. The ques
tion of a second choice can be raised
When the necessity for such a choice
presents Itself. Until then, there ought
to be no division of opinion as to the
propriety of standing by Pennsylvania's
candidate boldly, fairly and without
reservation.
It would be proper, in our judgment,
to elect as state delegates from the
"Lackawanna districts men who will de
fer to Senator Quay's own preferences
for delegates-at-large to the St. Iiouis
convention. . As the person most inter-
sted in having loyal support at that
convention, has he not, In all equity,
right to be consulted as to the cont
ested in having loyal support at that
represent no narrow district but the
Whole commonwealth? This courtesy
baa been accorded to the candidates of
other states. It has been accorded by
Ohio Republicans to Major McKlnley,
by Iowa Republicans to Senator Alli
son, and ho one doubts that it will be
similarly accorded when the Republi
cans of the Pine Tree state meet on the
16th day of April next to Indorse Thorn
aa B. Reed." Pennsylvania Republl-
la - this reasonable ;. particular, I
may well initiate their brethren in the
faith.
On another page appears a very in
terestlng short -story from the fluent
pen of John .Courier' Morris. It was
one of the stories that came near win
nlng The Tribune prize at the recent
Robert Morris Lodge eisteddfod so
near that the adjudicator long had dlf
llculty In reaching a final decision. Its
theme Is the more interesting in that
It is vouched for by the author as hav
Ing been taken from real life; and the
story Is therefore in a sense historical.
Its picturing of life in Old Gwalia will
bo recognized by all "Welshmen cs
faithful to the facts. Read it
The Candidacy of Thomas B. Reed
The formal Indorsement by the Re
publicans of Massachusetts of the
presidential candidacy of Thomas K
Reed calls renewed attention to one of
the stalwarts of modern Republicanism,
Mr. Reed has been of the dimensions of
presidential timber for at least eight
years, but was during Mr. Blaine's
lifetime necessarily pushed to one side,
The presentation of his name this year
by New Kngland may not be followed
by his nomination at St. Louis, but it
will come as a well-won honor, and It
will be a milestone in a great man's
steady growth in popularity and favor.
The qualities which have made Mr.
Reed one of the conspicuous leaders of
political activity in his generation are
qualities which command admiration
but do not Inspire fervent enthusiasm.
They rest, , not . so much on personal
magnetism and diplomacy as on sheer
firmness and abundant, fertile brain,
In a great emergency Reed would be us
a tower among men, and would exer
cise authority iy the very supremacy
of his militant and aggressive rharac
terlstlcs. But In an era of complacency
and calm, like the present, the angles
In his make-up lead men to give their
preference to some one else to some
one less positive, less dominant, less
given to the cracking of heads. The in
ferlor position which his presidential
candidacy has assumed as compared,
for example, with that of Major Mc
Klnley Is not due to any superiority on
the latter's part but in part to sheer
popular delusion as to the comparative
influence of the two men In securing the
enactment of certain protective legls
latlon, and 4n perhaps greater part to
the prevalent Idea that Mr. Reed is too
much of a political pugilist to make a
first-class president.
This later idea comes from the fact
that Mr. Reed's first rise to national
publicity and prominence was achieved
m connection with his famous battle
over the counting of quorums in the
house of representatives. That epl
sode was merely an Incident in his ca
reer and called into play only part of
his magnificent equipment for political
leadership, but it illustrated his daring,
his determination and his invincible
habit of keeping at a purpose until he
accomplishes It. In that protracted
and exciting contest for the expediting
of legislation by the candid recognition
of known facts without regard to ami
able tradition, it is well known that
Mr. Reed had to fight not only the
Democrats but also many of his own
following. There were times in the
struggle when it seemed as if the speak
er's defeat were inevitable. A man of
timid will would, in the first place.
never have undertaken such a courage
ous Initiative, and in the second place,
If we concede the possibility of his hav
ing ever taken such a step, would
speedily have been frightened Into in
continent and unconditional surrender.
The manner In which Thomas B. Reed
faced the odds, practically single
handed, and by sheer force of his in
trepid and masterful personality, drove
the opposition before him exhibited one
phase of his character his spunk, his
obstinacy, his self-assurance. But
there are other phases no less valuable
for being less generally understood.
In the popular acceptation of Mr. Reed
as a party fighter there Is likely to be
obscured or minimized the fact that
he a a constructive and an originating
statesman of the very first rank, in
two congresses as speaker he lias domi
nated the situation and practically
edited the work of the various commit
tees. His touch upon the details of
congressional work Is more direct than
that of any predecessor in the speaker's
chair. He enjoys the sense of power
and likewise the responsibility that goes
1th It. He la In an unusual degree the
whole of congress, centered In one man.
The qualification of such a man for the
exacting and wearing duties of the
presidency Is self-evident.
Mr. Reed may never be president. In
paint of actual, net fitness for it he is
probably so far above most of his com
petitors that this very superiority may
destroy his chances, as It destroyed the
hances of Clay and Webster and Sew-
rd and Blaine. But if he ever should
be elected, look out for an administra
tion which would move steadily to its
enua muugii me wuriu in arms were If
opposed. s
By the way, It seems to us that Orov
er's promised anti-third term letter is
long time In coming.
i
A Yawp from Santander.
No doubt the sentiment of the great;
majority of the people of Spain Is ac
curately voiced by the Santander pa
per, La Atallu, when it says: "Kx-
termlnalion is the only solution of the
war in Cuba. Let the romantic Nort
Americans, hypocrltlc defenders of t
Cuban Insurgents, say what they wis.
lei America uo as it likes, the moment
has arrived for showing ourselves cruel
and inflexible and bloody, If necessary.
Let it cost what it may, public inIon
In the whole country demands te' re
bellion should he drowned in lilies nf
blood. Do not let one suspect Jive; let
them know that the country belongs to
us, and If we require for the founda
tion of future peace heaps ofsnciiflced
flesh, let us build those fundatlons
quick."
This sounds Spanish In 4 ery syllable.
It Is In keeping wltTine annals of
Spanish history; It fits Up a nicety the
temper and the genius fot tho Spanish
race, it is what Weylir thinks In his
heart and what. If heiad his way, he
would carry into rufthlcss and even
fiendish execution. No one who has
taken pains to gainso much as the
slightest familiarity, with the record of
Spanish administration In Cuba can
doubt for a moment the authenticity of
4
this translation or question the sincer
ity of the opinion which it phraxea. If
Cuba's cause is lost now it will be lost
for years If not forever. No Cuban who
has this time lifted his hand for lib
erty would be spared. The very sus
picion of complicity with the campaign
for freedom would. In the event of
Spain's regaining the mastery In Cuba,
be the signal for the lash, the bullet or
the Innermost dungeon.
It fortunately happens, however, that
there are quite enough "romantic North
Americans" to invest with serious
doubt the triumph of Spanish butchery
in Cuba. These "hypocritical defend
ers of Cuba" may for the moment be
misrepresented by senatorial turn
coats, willing publicly to cat - their
words; but they will not fail to find a
way of expressing their feelinjrs in
these premises should it appear at any
future time that the cause of the native
Cubans lacked substantial support.
And just such blabber as that of the
Santander Atalia Is what will make the
Impertinent Yankees more determined
than ever to Insist upon fair play.
The story that Piatt. Quay and
friends are going to rob McKlnley of
the presidency by manufacturing bogus
contests and seating the contestants at
St. Louis would, in the telling, sound
bettor from Democrats than from Re
publicans. Those boomers of Major
McKlnley who think his cause can be
helped by the circulation of that kind
of gammon must be young In politics.
The height of picturesque Idiocy has
been reached by the Pittsburg McKlnley
organ which predicts that the Ohio
candidate will deliver a speech at
Philadelphia, appealing for Pennsylva
nia delegates. Fortunately. William
McKlnley has a better sense of the
proprieties of the situation.
For the benefit of those whom it may
concern we once more call attention to
the fact that the writer who wishes to
get a communication of a contentious
nature printed In The Scranton Trlb
une must sign his true name, for publl
cation. Let every tub stand on Its own
bottom.
One can at least admire Frank Will
ing Leach's grit.
CAN M'KIMEY WIN?
"Penn." in Philadelphia Bulletin.
If William McKlnley should carry off
the nomination at St. Louis directly on
the lirst ballot he would do something
timt has never before been done in a
contented national convention In the past
forty years, unless the nomination of Me
ridian in 1SG4 may be excepted. That la
the only occasion in the political history
of two generations when the winner has
come out of the rivalries and struggles of
a preliminary canvass with a clear ma
jority on the opening showing; of hands.
me claims to enough strength to sweep
the convention of next June at the very
start which the McKlnleyltea have be.-n
making In view of the developments of
ine jiasi two or inree weens may possi
bly lie realized. They are not altogether
extravagant in consideration of the re
markably strong canvass which his man
agers have thus fur maile for him. Hut
It' they should be realized, the result would
upset all of the convention nrecedents of
the Kepiiblicuus. and nearly all of those
ot the Democrats.
Moreover, the occasion is an exceptional
one, when a candidate who at this staia
of the canvass preceding the convention
has taken the lead or who has had the
general sentiment of the rank and tile be.
hind him In a conte.it, has emerged the
winner. Tildeii In ISiti anil Cleveland n
J8S4 are Democratic exceptions, and Blaine
In mi and Harrison in 18i2 are Republl

candidate since 185U In a convention strug
gle has been spawned from a compromise,
or at least has not -been the popular fa
vorite in the preliminary running. Nor.
with the exceptions of both conventions
In !?, has there been a candidate who se
cured the nomination directly in face rf
the opposition of the combination of polltl-

while Tllden, who was undoubtedly the
real choice of the party ut larxr, was
forced to retire before the burking of the

dite availuble man to carry New York; but
the powerful arm of Daniel Manning did

in thp canvass of IMC, Cleveland seemed

The history of that convention, or rather
of the canvass .preceding it, completely

the old stagers, and is not likely to be re.
