REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
To the Republican electors of Pennsylva
nia. , .
The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
their duly chosen representatives, will
meet In state convention ThurHilay, April
m, 1896. at 10 o'clock a. m , in the opei
house, city of Harrlwlnirg. for the pur
pose of .lomlniitlnv two candidates for
repiesentsuive-at-liirj-e In eonKres. nr
thirty-two candidates for presidnntlal
electors, the selection of eight di'li-galf"-at-Urge
to the Republican national con
vention, .and for the transaction of bulii
other business as may be presented.
By order of the state committee.
Attest: Chairman.
Jere B. Rex,
W. R. Andrews,
Secretaries.
It was Pattlson who made Cleveland
the Democratic nominee four years ago.
Now the question arises, Is Grover
grateful?
Municipal Changes. ,
At noon today the executive depart
ments of the city government will pass,
for the first time In ten years, from
Republican Into Democratic control.
The record which the Republican party
has made during this decade of munici
pal administration Is endurably written
In the city's magnificent development.
Waves of prejudice may from time to
time blind the electors' eyes to that rec
ord, but It will stand, for It is now his
tory. Of the out-going officials It can be
truthfully said that they have been
honorable, public-spirited and faithful
to their trusts. So far as the executive
branch of the city government is con
cerned, Its duties during the past three
years have been performed conscien
tiously and with ability. Had there
been equal conscience and equal ability
in the legislative department, the re
sults would have been even better than
they have been.
Th Ti-lhnnw nmnngpa in Trent Afflvnr
Bailey fairly. We shall not go out of
our way to criticize him because he Is
u. Democrat. We shall endeavor at all
times to remember that ho is the elected j
chief magistrate of tho whole city and j
fhall judge his official actions by. the ;
tandnrds expected to govern tho
mayor of a lai ue, liberal and enlight
ened city like Scran ton. We wish him
success. We trust that his adminis
tration may be clean, straightforward,
progressive and business-like. We are
ready to co-operate with him in all
broad measures for the common ' wel
fare. If Mr. Cleveland declines to be a can
didate it will probably not be because
of modesty but because of fear.
Treat All Alike.
Attention Is called to a letter on an
other page from Select Councilman
Chittenden, in which he presents the
arguments of those who oppose the con
struction of the Frothlngham band
stand portico. It will be seen that Mr.
Chittenden draws no distinction) be
tween a structure sheltering the entrance-way
to a public assemblage
room and at the same time supplying,
with reference to band concerts, a long
felt want, and the projections of pri
vate stores. There Is, however, in com
mon sense If not In law, both a distinc
tion and a difference. ;
The resolution Introduced last week
by Mr. Chittenden calling for the ar
rest of Mr. Frothlngham and the de
molition of his portico Is not only. In
conflict with common sense, but there
is also good reason to believe that It is
at wide variance from the law. No
where does the ordinance authorize the
street commissioner to tear down an
obstruction which Is a nuisance of the
third class, nor Is there a syllable of
legal warrant for the triple arrest. As
the case stands, the arresting of Mr.
Frothlngham would subject the city
to a suit for damages, In view of the ap
proval of his building plans by the
building Inspector, while the destrus
tlon of his portico by the street com
missioner would become an act of tres
pass. If the gentleman from the Ninth
Is sincere In his wish to enforce the law
on all alike, why does he not Introduce
a resolution calling for the arrest of ev
ery property-owner who has awnings,
cornices or other projections contrary
td law, as well as every one who has
dangerous vaults underneath the side
walk? Why single out Arthur Frothing,
ham? The Tribune will gladly remove
Its bulletin bead If that gives offense.
But if one man or one firm Is to be at
tacked', let all be treated alike. Then
there can be no suspicion of prejudice
or partiality.
A census in France was taken on
Saturday night last and one In London
on Sunday night, and the results, sn
far as the enumeration of the people
la concerned, will be known within a
week. The compilation of the vital
and social statistics will take a longer
time, but not, It Is said, more than a
month or two. In the United States a
decennial census Is begun at the be-
ginning of a decade and the last re
sults of t are seldom announced be
fore the decade Is half completed. If
we had a permanent census bureau
organized on expert lines, this frtos
waste of time would be obviated, and
our census statistics would be made
public almost as soon after each gen
eral enumeration as are the statistics
tf England end France.
Messrs. Quay and IMatt have simul
taneously gone to Florida, "for their
health." This docs not necessarily
mean, however, that they are as sick'
as the McKlnley bureau reports would
indicate. 1
Inexorable Alternatives.
While it would obviously be out of
place for The Tribune to offer to the
new mayor advice from a party stand
point. It Is proper enough to say that
the politician? who ere Importuning
Mr. Hallcy for favors bear only a small
proportion to the number of citizens who
simply and unselfishly wish his ad
ministration to dignified, business
like and helpful to the best interests
of the city. It is possible that the que'
tlon will more than once present Itself
to him for official answer whether the
active party workers or the people gen
erally shall be accorded his preference.
In such a contingency we believe that
the new executive will find It to the
ultimate advantage of his administra
tion to act broadly and firmly from
the standpoint of the non-office-seeking
public, without much reference to the
effect of such action upon the distinc
tively partisan element immediately
surrounding him. ,
The circumstances of Mr. Bailey's
election are certainly favorable to the
adoption of a policy of Independence.
His debt to the workers of his own
party, no matter how they may strive
to magnify It, Is small. He manifestly
owes his election to no one man and
to no one faction. The power conferred
upon him by that election could, there
fore, with propriety, be reserved for
use toward purely public ends. The
opportunity before him to consider
questions of appointment and removal
solely with reference to the best In
terests of the city Irrespective of fac
tion, personal claim or party pull. Is
one such as rarely comes to a mayor
elected nominally on a party ticket.
He could, with exceptional justification,
say to his advisers: "Gentlemen, I con
sider that I have been called to the ex
ecutive chair of a large corporation,
and that it is my duty to administer
that trust on strictly business prin
ciples, neither discharging nor employ
ing a man except for business, rather
than political, causes." While such a
declaration, rigidly adhered to, would
probably cause disaffection among the
small circle of active politicians who
have none but selfish Interests in view,
it would win and retain the confidence
of the immeasurably larger and more
important class who regard municipal
office as a thing unsulted to low parti
san manipulation.
Between these two elements In the
community there Is no durable middle
ground. The official who attempts to
face both ways Is lost. Either the
politicians or the people must eventual
ly predominate. Neither class will long
rest satisfied with a compromise. It
is the unvaried history of municipal
government In this country that the
men who achieve distinction ore pos
itive and uncompromising men, who
rspotiso one or the other of these alter
natives find thenceforth proceed uiulf
vinttngly. Mayor-elect Bailey will to
day find himself confronted with the
duty of making choice between these
inexorable conditions of oilietiil policy
mid it is our Inmost advice to him, of
fered in the friendliest possible spirit,
that the prospect of greatest success
lies in the direction of unswerving In
dependence. The Chicago Times-Herald Is' va
liantly essaying the task of trying to
shame the New York Sunday World,
Journal and Recorder out of their min
gled frothtness and nastiness. It calls
them exemplars of "muck-rake jour
nalism," and expresses the hope that
the public intelligence In and near the
metropolis will yet make such cater
ing to pruriency -and sensationalism
unprofitable. We wish we had tne
Times-Herald's faith.
Sunday Newspapers and Sermons.
A short time ago the Newspaper Ser
mon association of Boston, having un
dertaken to publish sermons in the
Sunday newspapers, offered $500 in
prizes for the best four sermon's sub
mitted to its committee. Nearly 300
sermons were received from writers of
nearly every denomination. A circu
lar has lately appeared announcing the
awards. Thirty-three were considered
deserving of special mention, nine of
which, ' It is stated, were written by
clergymen of the Episcopal church. A
final group of twelve from which the
four prize winners should be selected,
was determined upon. Of the four who
received the cash prize of $125 each,
three were Episcopalians. The com
mittee of award can hardly be accused
of partiality since It was made up as
follows: A Unitarian minister, a Con
gregational minister, two editors and
proprietors of Boston papers,: and one,
a clergyman of the Episcopal church.
Contests of this kind can hardly fall
to cause preachefs of the gospel, of
every .denomination, to bestow addi
tional care In the preparation of their
sermons. While, of' course, the main
object of going to church is not to hear
sermons, but to worship God, it Is, nev
ertheless, quite true that Intellectual
men and women of this day and genera
tion will not often listen tb; ill-prepared
discourses. The man who enjoys and
appreciates a good sermon and knows
such a treat is' awaiting him, or who
conceives It to be his duty to go to
church for the purpose of Worship, will
not be detained at home by the Sunday
newspaper though It be ever so inter
esting. At the same time, since the
Sunday paper ia an. unalterable fact,
would It- not be well for religious peo
ple to exert their influence toward mak
ing It clean and elevating?
The v6te at Saturday's primaries In
dicates that the delegates from the First
and Fourth legislative districts of
Lackawanna county will be for Sena
tor Quay for president, honestly' and
without reservation. The Republicans
of those districts have properly -inter
preted the Issue placed before them,
and are to be congratulated upon their
wise judgment. '
If the Philadelphia Press Is sincere
In it dally reiterated assertion that
the whole country, from Maine to Cali
fornia. Is frantically "solid for honest
money." why does, it waste double
leaded space each morning to say so?
The last Issue of the Providence
Register announces that John V. Hope
well has become sole editor and pro
prietor of that interesting weekly jour
nal. We congratulate Mr. Hopewell and
wish for him abundant success.
According to the programme, the
amended Cuban resolutions are to reach
a vote In the house today. The house
knows Its- duty. Let It perform that
duty honestly and fearlessly.
Notwithstanding that Mr. Magce
dally denounces Senator Quay as a bold.

WITHOUT PRECEDENT.
"Penn," In Philadelphia Bulletin.
There are some conditions of the presi
dential campaign this year which mark
an almost complete, abandonment of pre
cedents in both parties. The Republican
washouts of the past three years have
indeed, destroyed entirely some pf the
old political landmarks. For the flirt
time since the war the candidates have ull
been brought Into the Held without any
regard to their states or to their "avail
ability" in carrying this or that state.
Some of the best men, among both the
Republicans and Democrats, were long
practically ruled out of consideration be
cause they were not satisfactory to one
or two localities. Hut this year, there
has been an entire letting down of the
brs the country over to all candidates
who could show a reasonable claim to
the nomination, through their personal
merit or their national popularity.
II II II
In every campaign In the past twenty
years, or stnre the White leagues In. the
south compelled tho KcptiMlcun party to
put up Its ehutters In flint section, Now
York. New Jersey, Connecticut and Indi
ana formed a quartette which had to lie
deferred to In conventions, and which had
to be "carried" at elections. They were
the four states of tho north in which
neither party could ever count safely and
surely on a large mujorlty, and In which
the fluctuations of public opinion were
generally felt more markedly than else
where. This year they will stand on the
same level as other commonwealths In
both the conventions and at the polls.
The disintegration of the solid south, the
shitting conditions of the west and the
sweeping Republican advance since 1892
have lessened their Importance and .de
prived them altogether of that dispro
portionate preponderance which enabled
them to dominate conventions, and which
made them tho chief battle grounds of the
soap collectors and the fat fryers.
If the Democratic party of New York
was such un essential that ever since the
time of McClellan we have had the singu
lar spectacle of every one of its candi
datesSeymour, Orecley, Tllden, Han
cock and then Cleveland three times
tnken tram that state. Hancock Is not
properly an exception, for he had lived
little. In Pennsylvania, was practically a
New Yorker when his nomination enme
to him, and his affinities to New York
were of far more consequence than any
which ho born to his native state. This
year no special consideration Is given to
It by either side. Governor Morton, for
example, old as he Is, would be an im
mense formidable candidate if New York
were now "doubtful" as It used to be In
advance of a presidential election. But no
politician thinks of regarding It any more
us a "pivot." So far as the Democracy
are concerned the old combination of New
York and the solid south has ceased to
be a winner and has passed away for
ever. H II II
Moreover, the horror over the Idea of
putting a southern man on a presidential
ticket has pretty nearly died out. The
mention of Carlisle Is no longer an occa
sion for pulling out the map and showing
that he Uvea on the lower side of the
Ohio river. The Mason nnd Dixon line
has been effaced as a political boundary.
Six or seven of the states below it cer
tainly Maryland, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Ker-tucky, Tennessee and Mis
rottrl nrn more or lea doubtful, nnd the
inopt conspicuous Pnd dangerous of nil
the landmarks id national polities In tho
tiiwt quarter of a century is gradually
Kinking out of i-i;;hl.
The bid eas'tern'nn'i middle state's never
had Much u! a show in llepubliean con
ventions. The west, with Its boundless
jiride nnd ambition and aggressiveness.
lias come to assume pretty niueii tno
same relation to the Republicans that the
south in the slave days did to the Dem
ocrats. Since 1S.VS all but one of the Re
publican candidates after Fremont, who
was a nomad Lincoln twice, Grant twice,
Hayes, Garfield, Harrison have hailed
from beyond the Alleghenles. Blaine was
tho one exception. The west, indeed, has
held the presidency a Rood deal as the
south did when from Washington to
Pierce, or In a period of sixty-three years,
the two Adamses and Van Bitten, with
the elder Harrison for thirty days, were
tho only northern men who were permit
ted to get into the white house. There is
no sltrn viaiblo that the west will not con
trol the St. Louis convention this year, if
not absolutely dominate the situation,
li II II
Again there are no "barrel" candidates
In the field. Such a spectacle as Alger, of
Michigan,, presented In 1S92 a good-natured,
commonplace man, who would never
have been thought of for the nresldency
ordinarily, but whose checkbook with Its
retinue or agents, puners, BUbsldizeu
newspaper men, and all the maln-chanee
crowd who hover around conventions like
birds of prey Bcenting carrion, enabled
him to get more than 1U0 votes at Chicago
In 1SSS Is not likely to be repeated. Til
den was liberal In this respect, but he was
the ablest millionaire that ever aspired to
the presidency, and he spent his money
with discretion and without serious per
sonal scandal. No such candidates as
Flower, who in 1884 opened a headquarters
at Chicago and obtained four votes after
tho expenditure of thousands of dollars
on heelers nnd rounders with railroad
bills and rum bills have thus far been visi
ble. There has never been a rich man
elected to the presidency with the excep
tion of Wsshlrigton; there has never been
a rich n:an even nominated in modern"
times by any party with the exception of
Tllden. and notwithstanding all the clat
ter about "plutocracy," tho chances that
a millionaire can get Into the white house
nre. after all, as remote as they ever
were.
Again, it Is questionable whether the
country has not grown so big and with
"politics" taking so vital a hold on the
nlaln Deople that It is not becoming morn
tllfflcult for syndicates or combinations of
munagers to nave their own way. For
years ago the smashing of the Quuy-Platt-Clarkson
combination at Minne
apolis and the Hlll-Ilrlie-Uorman alliance
at Chicago was unprecedented. Up to
that time no candidate who did not have
the good will ami support of the party
managers in the chief states or in the
national organization hail ever been able
to do what Cleveland did and Harrison
also, although In a mjnor degree, agalnnt
their bitter, strenuous opposition. The
newspapers, which everywhere today give
five times as much attention to every de
tail and ramification of politics, natlonul,
state or local, as they did fifteen or twen
ty yeats ago, hnve tnodn It more dllllciilt
to set up a machine that may control a
party throughout the country as the Vir
ginia Influence and tho Albany regency
did In earlier days, or as the ConklinB-Cumeron-Iignn
cabal In our own times
In two. If not three, national conventions.
They nominated Grant and suppressed
Liberalism In 1872 with the popular tide
running (heir direction, or, rather, they
running with It; In 1876 and 1E90 they head
ed off Iilalne with .ho popular tide run
ning dead against them. The Impulse
which In 1892 arrested the progress of Da
vid B. Hill and rut him completely out
of a game which Recording to all the rule
of Hoyle rn politics, he was sure to win
when he had accomplished the feat of
securing seventy-dwo. delegates from New
York unanl.'iious, was communicated to
the Democratic party by the New York
World In a series of editorial phlllpplea
that were unanswerable. The only big
syndicate in s'ght this year la tho one,
which has laid out for Itself the contest
of preventing the nomination of anybody
else at St. Louis than William McICInlev,
and there is no longer much room for
doubt that It has turned out to be a mora
formidable undertaking than seemed pos
sible when the word was passed around
In the junta that the Buckeye statesman
was io nave nla comb clipped. . ,
ll ii ii -
Most remarkable, perhaps, ot all the
anomalies or new conditions of this praai-
it-iiiini year ia mat a great party virtual
ly confesaca lta defeat In advance and
mat not one active candidate for Us
preaidentlal nomination has made his ap
pearance. There U absolutely no prece-
ittiii iur mm ln me wnoie nistory or tn
IVmoeratle uarlv. If thia rnn.lillon of
things thall continue the campaiga of 'W
will be the dullest since the time of Mon
rce. and there will be Hue need of huge
campaign funds. But a split In the Dem
ocratic .party on the money question Is
more than possible, and If It aha 11 hap
pen. It will add more to the conditions of
a unmue year in presidential politics, ,
