BCRANTON, APRIL 4, 1896. The Tribune ia tho only Republican daily In Lackawanna County. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. To tho Republican electors of Pennsylva nia, . The Republlcani of Pennsylvania, by their duly chosen representatives, will meet tn state convention Thursday. April 13. 1896, at 10 o'clock a. m., In the opera house, city of Harrli.burs, for the pur pose of nominating two candidates for representative-at-large In consress ami thirty-two candidate for presidential electors, the selection of eight delegates-at-Wga to the Republican national con vention, and for the transaction of such other business as may be presented. By order of the state committee. M. 8. Quay, Atttat:- Chairman. Jere B. Rex, W. R. Andrews, Secretaries. Put your ear to the ground and you can hear a faint but growing Harrison ground-swell. Today's Primaries. Primary elections will be held this afternoon In the First and Fourth leg islative districts, In each case to elect two delegates to the approaching state convention. In the First district there Is a contest to determine whether the delegates shall be Quay men with or without strings; but It Is hardly prob able that the voters of that district will care to chose as their representatives at Harrisburg men whoso only purpose in entering the contest Is to promote the personal Interests of Joseph A. Scranton. In the Fourth district there was some talk, a week or two ago, of raising the McKInley Issue. This emanated from the faction which one year ago fought under the Quay banner, but afterward, It seemed, meditated desertion to the Ohtoan. This threatened snub of Penn sylvania's candidate has not, however, yet materialized, and It probably will not. The action of Mark Hanna, tho McKInley manager, in refusing to fight Alllfon In Iowa would apply as well to Quay In Pennsylvania and leave these self-assumed Carbondale cham pions' of McKInley discredited by Mc Klnley's own agent. It will be proper in both districts for Republican to elect delegates who will stand by Senator Quay as long as he is a candidate and' who,' at Harrisburg, will be guided largely by his judgment In thu choice of the eight delegates-at-large who are to present and in a special sense represent his candidacy before the St. Louts convention. The question of a second choice can wisely be deterred until a second choice shall become necessary. Again we learn that Carlisle Is to pro claim himself a presidential candidate. Well, the Democratic boom room is yet ample, Goldwln Smith on Cuba. A dignified but none the less severe reply to ex-Mlnlster Edward J. Phelp's characterization of the Cuban insur gents as "banditti" is made by Goldwln Smith, the eminent English historian and scholar, In a communication to the Philadelphia Press. Mr. Smith admits the contention of Mr. Phelps that a bandit has no right to recognition, but he does not concede that the Cuban revolter deserves so harsh a term. "A bandit," observes Mr. Smith, "Is a man fighting for plunder. It is not alleged that the Cubans are fighting for plund er or dented that they are fighting for political emancipation. Their present revolt is one of a series by which Its character is fixed. They may supply themselves by foraging or they may de stroy for military purposes; but it is not alleged that plunder Is the object of their rebellion. The war which they make is Irregular, perhaps highly ir regular, but it is war, not brigandage. They are, In short, guerrillas; a name .which recalls the struggle of the Span iards themselves against the foreign yoke of Napoleon, a port of her history of which Spain Is justly proud." Professor Smith adds to this oppor tune recollection some additional his torical parallels. "Three centuries ago," he remarks, "the patriots of the Netherlands took up arms for civil and religious liberty against the intrusive tyranny of their Spanish master. At first they made a war not unlike that which the Cubans are making now. They were called tn derision the 'beg gars' and themselves accepted the name. Teb history has recognized them not only as belligerents but as the no blest of belligerents, and the fruit of their warfare was free- Holland, with her republican institutions,' her relig- 'lous liberty, her commerce, her learn ing and all that she has done for hu manity." Again, "what was the war of the Mexicans against the satrap of the French Emperor but a guerrilla war? . Yet the American Republic recognised In It a legitimate struggle for freedom and as soon as Its own hands were free lent Mexico moral aid. The same char acter has probably been assumed more or less by every armed struggle for freedom In Its early stage. It Is not lUuhjr that aa oppressed people rising acting tha oppressor -would' at ones be able to put a regular army on foot or to command the appliances of form al war. The original 'Minute Men' of the American Revolution were not reg ulars, nor did they make war In regu lar style." Professor Smith does not ask, but his citation certainly suggests the question whether Mr. Phelps re gards the American fighters In the bat tles of Lexington and Bunker Hill as "banditti," deserving only of the con tempt of nations. With regard to the legal lsaue as to Cuba's belligerency, the Anglo-Canadian scholar does not attempt to meas ure swords with Mr. Phelps. He con tents himself with the remark that "if the Cuban insurgents have not a gov ernment It would seem they have a ter ritory; for the Spanish victories appear to be gained at no great distance from Havana." If the Democratic ex-minister to England has a reply to offer to this defense by an- Englishman of a people struggling for freedom, or if he wisheB to make another effort to steady the arm of European tyranny on soil only eighty miles distant from free America, the lists are open. We will back Goldwln Smith against htm at any time and In any place. A good mind reader might get a Job trying to find out whether Rev. Mr. Hogan or the conference took water. The Portico Issue. It Is by this time pretty clearly ap parent, we think, that the hostile atti tude of councils to the Frothlngham band stand portico Is largely personal In its origin. We do not doubt that if any other property owner on Wyoming ave nue sought for the privilege which Mr. Frothlngham has endeavored to secure. It would cheerfully be granted. But councils, we understand, have never hud a friendly feeling for Mr. Frothlng ham since some of its members unsuc cessfully tried to get their names placed on tho free list of his theater. Legally, we have no doubt that if Mr. Frothlngham Is arrested in accordance with the Chittenden resolution and his portico torn down by the street commis sioner, the city will render Itself liable to damages. The plans of the new ar cade were approved by the building In spector, and If that does not exonerate Mr. Frothlngham it will be In order to ascertain what a building inspector is for. It Is certainly true that If the por tico be condemned, half the business buildings In the city will be subject to equal legal objection, and to avoid the appearance of discrimination It will be necessary for the city to proceed against all offenders alike. So far as public sentiment is con cerned, it is entirely on Mr. Frothlng ham's side. We have not heard a single dissent to the proposition that his band stand would be a public advantage. More than that, the opinion Is general that the theater entrance should be pro tected by an archway, as In other enter prising cities. There are many persons who would like to see in councils a larger number of men who can rise above personal prejudices in their treat ment of public Issues. Senator Chandler made a nasty fight. Now that he has got the worst of it, few persons will shed tears. McKInley and Reciprocity. One of the charges which has long been held over the head of Major Mc KInley in that he was a determined foe of the Blaine doctrine of reciprocity when that Idea was first presented for Incorporation in the McKInley tariff bill. Relying upon reiterated news paper statements heretofore never de nied, we have ourselves, in times past,' laid, this charge against McKlnley's door. It Is no more than Just, there fore, to give him at this time, the bene fit of a conclusive defense, voluntarily rendered by William E. Curtis, who was one of Mr. Blaine's most intimate and trusted assistants in the prepara tion of the reciprocal trade treaties of 1890 and '91. Says Mr. Curtis: "The international American confer ence which was In session in Washing ton during the winter of 1889-90, had un der consideration the subject of estab lishing a customs union under which It was proposed to have a complete In terchange of products among all the nations of the American hemisphere, without import duties, similar to the German sollvereln and the free trade that exists between our states. This was declared impossible so far as it in cluded articles of luxury, for the reason that the other American republics are entirely dependent upon import duties for revenue; but it was agreed and recommended that a series of reci procity treaties might be negotiated be tween them for the free interchange of food products and other necessaries of life. "While the discussion was going on the foreign delegates observed with great solicitude the progress of the preparation of the McKInley law. The conflicting reports In the newspapers of what had been or would be done with the tariff schedules In which were In cluded the staple products and chief exports of the country from which they came afforded a topic of more interest ing discussion than the questions under discussion in their own councils. To allay their apprehensions concerning the proposed changes In the duties up on sugar, hides, carpet wools and some other articles, the secretary of state asked the committee of ways and means not to disturb the existing tariff schedules so far as those articles were concerned. He assured them of his confidence that valuable concessions might be obtained by diplomatic ne gotiations from the other American re publics In favor of the agricultural and mechanical products of the United States, which would be impossible if the duties on hides and sugar were re moved and the duties upon carpet wools and other articles Increased as was then proposed. In lieu of such ac tion he suggested an amendment to the bill carrying out the recommendations of the conference and embracing his own Ideas as to what might be done by the United States. "One morning In February, 1890, I think it was the 7th or 8th, Mr. Blaine asked me to take that amendment' to the capttoland hand It to Representa tive McKInley, with a request that It be added to the tariff bill. I knocked at the door of the room of ways and means and found the committee in ses sion. Mr. McKInley came out Into the corridor, where I handed him the amendment, explained to him what It was. told him of Mr. Blaine's wishes and the action of the international con ference on the same subject. He read the typewritten manuscript and said: 'Tell Mr. Blaine that I will submit this to the committee." 'Will you support it?' I asked. 'Yes.' was his reply. 'I am In favor of the proposition.' I found out afterward that within a very few moments In fact, as soon as the question under discussion was disposed of Mr. McKInley submitted the Blaine amendment to the committee. It was discussed for a few moments and a vote was taken, Mr. McKInley alone voting In the affirmative. From that time and all through the discussion that followed Mr. McKInley consist ently supported the plan of reciprocity, and he was the only member of the committee on -ways and means who did. The other Republican members were finally and reluctantly forced to sup port it by public opinion." This explanation is as timely as it Is complete. It disposes of one serious obstacle to Major McKlnley's nomina tion and will go far tq reconcile to his candidacy, should he be named at St. Louis, that considerable commercial and manufacturing element in the Re publican party which has regarded the Blaine safety valve of reciprocal possi bilities as the one reassuring part of the mechanism of high protection. We are glad to be able to give the Ohio aspirant credit for larger prescience than he has heretofore been credited with by unbiased and unemotional ob servers. Mrs. Craigle, the English novelist, gives the American people an unex pectedly good character. First, we are, as a class, deeply but not obtrusively religious; next, we have a general desire to succeed on individual merit; third, we are whole-hearted, generous and pa triotic; and lastly comes this remark able assertion: "I don't recollect having heard during my recent visit one woman say an unkind word about another. Un gracious personalities didn't find a place in the conversation; there was no retailing of scandal, no ungenerous ex change of tittle-tattle.". We wonder, is Mrs. Craigle Jesting? John Sherman puts the whole subject In a paragraph when, in the April Forum, he calls attention to the fact that under the McKInley bill the . re ceipts of the government from Octo ber, 1890, to October. 1892, were $759. 456,825. The expenditures during the same time were $731,211,184, leaving a surplus in the treasury of $28,245,641. Under the Wilson bill the receipts from September, 1894, to December, 1895, were $444,290,692, leaving a deficiency of $70,500,044. This is Republicanism vs. Democracy reduced from a theory to a condition. It will pain the flon. E. J. Phelps to learn that the president of Mexico ap proves of the Monroe doctrine and wants It made the International law of the western hemisphere. Indeed, General Diaz goes further, and declares his be lief that Uncle Sam ought to help all brother republics In distress. The clam Idea of diplomacy seems to be popular only among hucksters and mugwumps. The story that Tom Reed will retire from public life unless nominated for president is very thin. The man who believes it has yet to comprehend Tom Reed. The effort to draw Are on McKInley by representing him as friendly to sli ver will simply make him all the strong er among the people. roLmcir points. General Reeder's colleague-as national delegate from the Eighth Congressional district will be J. M. Drelsbach, of Car bon. Carbon gets this favor because it has not had the honor of a national dele gate for many years. In addition to that It has a larger Republican vote than both Pike and Monroe combined. Whatever the Issue at St. Louis, Mark Hanna will come out of It a famous char acter. Colleague or opponent must like Hanna. No one can help admiring the man's cheerfulness, loyalty, generosity and nerve. A politician tor pure love of it, he is exhibiting a mastery of the game equalled by few professionals, and the latter are bound to feel for such a man a genuine respect. If McKInley wins, Han na ought certainly to be made national chairman, end afterward, if he wants it, consul general to London. Ail applications for press tickets to the St. Louis convention should be directed to M. T. Ryrnes, serjeant-at-arms, Minne apolis, Minn. All applications for scats to be distributed to distinguished guescs throughout tho country should also be made to Mr. Bryne at 'Minneapolis. Each delegate will be allowed three tickets in addition to his own. The tickets for members of the Grand Army of the Re public will be given to the national coun cil of administration, and distributed by their direction. All tickets to the con vention will be issued Monday, June 15, by the sergeant-ut-arms at the convention building. " The McKInley tables all claim the dele gates from Louisiana and Mississippi. There Is good authority for saying that in neither case is this claim true, or any where near the truth. There are other places than this where the McKInley col umn could bo riddled if it were deemed wise to disclose the plans of the opposi tion. Whoever thinks that the so-called antl-McKinley "ringsters" are asleep these days is self-deceived. The chances that McKInley will win at St. Louis are really less today than they were threa weeks axo, and knowing ones say they will steadily decrease from this time for ward. When Ell Perkins the other day asked Senator Cullom If he really had, as re ported, said mean things of McKInley, the senator made this 'reply: "Pshaw, no! I admire and respect McKInley too much for that. The Democratic boys made that up. But," continued the senator, "I should like to say one thing about Gover nor McKInley. I like to Bay that. In my opinion, If you should take the smallest hair on McKlnley's head, punch the pith out of it with the little end of nothing, and then ram into it all the brains of Grover Cleveland and his entire cabinet, throwing out Olney, and the brains of all the Democratic candidates in sight, ex cepting Whitney, Cal Brlce and Gorman, and then shake that hair, it would rat tle." ' ' The Magee crowd have formulated their programme for tho coming state conven tion. It is proposed to defeat Senator Cameron for national delegate-at-large, If possible. If Senator Penrose l a candi date the combine will also try to beat him. There will, of course, be a resolu tion offered to Instruct the national dele-gates-at-large for Quay for president. This will call forth the hottest kind of opposition from such leaders as C. L. Ma gna and Attorney General McCormlck. Senator FUnn says Quay told him his campaign last summer cost $200,000. Ma gee declared that he saved Congressman W. A. Stone financially. With such bit ter personalities already flying about, the outlook Is favorable to a breezy time. An effort may be made to stampede the con vention for McKInley and to Instruct tho delegates-at-large for him. II In view of the effort which Is to be put forth by the silver men at the Chicago convention to rescind the rule which re quires a two-thirds vote to nominate a Democratic presidential candidate, the following history of that rule, reprinted from the Washington Star, will have In terest. "This history of the two-thirds rule," It says, "dates back to the first - ' .''.''.'.':- '".;- , .' ' i convention ever hkl by he Democratic party. It was called to meet In Baltimore on the 21st of May. 1U2. Jackson had previously been put out as the Democratic ntmlnee by the New York legislature, but New Hampshire, which Is tbe originator of national conventions, called for tha convention which was held. It was for the purpose of nominating a candidate for vice-president. Calhoun having quarrel I with Jackson. The presiding officer of this first Democratic convention was Gen eral Robert Lucas, of Ohio, and the reso lution requiring a two-thirds vote to nom inate was Introduced by Delegate Saun ders, of North Carolina. Tha object of the resolution was to give the southern men something of a veto power In the fu ture conventions. The rule, as adopted by the convention, and which has stoo. In part, to thla day, was as follows: 'Re solved. That each state be entitled, in the nomination to be made of a candidate for the vice-presidency, to a number of votes equal to the number that they will be entitled to In the electoral colleges un der the new appointment In voting for president and vice-president, and that two-thirds of the whole - number of votes in the convention shall be necessary to constitute a choice. At the Democratic convention at Balti more In May. 1844. when Polk was nomi nated, a strong effort was made to kill the rule, but by a vote of 148 to 118 It was allowed to stand. That was the origin cf a rule which some' historians claim has killed oft many of the best men the party ever had. Following the adoption of the rule the next Democratic convention was held In Baltimore In 1835, and there thj first candidate for president was nomi nated. Van Buren was the nominee and twenty-two states were represented. After that conventions were considered regular Institutions. It was not until 1852 that the rule allowing twice the number of delegates In the electoral college was adopted. That rule did not apply until the Cincinnati convention in 185S. ' A FEASIBLE PKOPOSITION. From the Carbcnualo Leader. The proposition to build a cinder path for tilcycles between Honesdale, Carbon dale and Scrantcn Is entirely feasible and Its consummation would be the MIrht of thousands of wheelmen. The cost, of a cinder path of sufflcletvt width Is said to be less than $100 per mile, making the proba ble total cost of the proposed wheelway not over $3,500. In tho territory to be In cluded there are not less than 8,5uO riders of the wheel, so that an average of a dol Ir from each would build the cinder path and furnish one of the linest runs for the cycle to be found In America If put into Iho proper hsnds the project can be real Used this summer with ease.
