IUVF.NPOKT. of Erie. Elootlon Hay, Nov. 10. The outcome of today's convention at Springfield will determine whether a good many Republicans will hazard the Inconveniences of a Journey to St. Louis or stay at home and read In the papers about McKlnley 's nomination by acclumatlon. . Jack Robinson's Latest. Congressman Robinson of Media It is much more natural to call him "Fighting Jack"-telegraphs to the Philadelphia Times, over his own sig nature, a denial of the published rumor that he hud entered Into a coalition with Senator Flinn and Senator-to-be Magee, of Allegheny county, to unhorse Senator Quay. He suys he has neither formed such an alliance nor had any Inclination to do so. "There are, however," he significantly adds, "certain fool friends of Quay who may drive me Into that position, as they seem to be satisfied with no support of Quuy which does not Involve absolute surrender of all self-respect and indi vidual Judgment as to presidential choice, after every manly effort for Quay Is expended. Some persons for get that sixty-five votes followed me In last week's convention, and forty six others, presumably with ub, lied the convention rather than goon rec ord. The only man who can down Quay In Pennsylvania Is Quay himself, end if he persists In repaying disin terested and loyal service to him by such brutal treatment as his fool claquers gave all those who dared to express an honest opinion In the con vention, and by his astonishingly un grateful treatment of Leach, he will very soon put the machinery In motion that will give him plenty of trouble to burn at every state convention.". We do not know to what particular friends of Senator Quay the Irascible Median refers. As for Leach, it Is pret ty well established that Senator Quay did him a positive kindness by Inter posing Just in the nick of time to spare Deputy Attorney General Elkin's friends the unpleasant necessity of wiping the floor with Leach In the con vention. On the other point, as to the convention's refusal to couple Quay in structions with McKlnley Instructions, we think Brother Robinson Is unduly agitated. The delegates from Pennsyl vania to the St. Louis convention, so far as we are acquainted with them, seem to be men pretty well capable of doing as they shall deem for theest Interests of the Republican party. They will not need hurrah instructions to cause them to make such a selection, in the event of the necessity arising for a second choice, as will reflect credit upon their Judgment and satisfy the in telligent sentiment of their constitu ents. Consequently, we are unable to per ceive wherein the militant member of the Sixth has provocation for his pres ent ebullition of temper. If It Is sim ply an outcropping of a shindy-loving disposition, we venture to suggest that . If ho will repress his bolHgert rency until after June 7 he may have five whole months of opportunity to exercise his voice and his muscle on the common nemy. We are willing to reward the man who can satisfactorily explain the Hon. William F. Harrity's continued hold upon the Pennsylvania Democracy. The Pattlson Boom. While from a practical standpoint it makes no particular difference what the Democrats of Pennsylvania do today at Allentown, there Is a certain sentiment al interest in the fact that they will more or less seriously offer a Pennsyl vanian for the leadership of their party in the approaching national campaign. Reports from tho field Indicate that however much the antl-Harrity minor ity may try to fight dWn the unit rule which ties the entire state delegation Into a personal property of the state bogs, It will offer no open opposition to the launching of the presidential boom of Robert Emory Pattison. Just why so amiable a gentleman as the Democratic ex-governor should care at this time for a presidential nom ination is far from clear. That even If he should get it, it would Involve simply an overwhelming defeat, he must fore see. Nor does the ultimate future of his party look so promising that there would seem to be Inducement, for him to make a present graceful sacrifice with an eye to a later recompense. When we consider, therefore, that his entry into the field as an active aspir ant lor tne empty nonor or the Chicago nomination has not the small advan tage of an unobstructed pathway, but on the contrary seems likely -to preclpl tU Mm into ths.thjok.ol juuu)j$a,te4 uniqni w t "ARrn competition complicated by Irreconcil able factional differences In connection with the money question, the wonder grows that he should seek the Indorse ment which is in reserve for him at Allentown. Be his motive what it may. the real isation of his ambition for a state In dorsement for the presidency will pre sent to the country a new source of speculation and curiosity, and thereby serve a harmless purpose. Mr. Paul son's chances of receiving the nomina tion at Chicago do not appear to be very great; they rest largely upon the contingency that nobody else will have much anxiety to head the Bourbon col umn. . Yet should he be nominated, he would no doubt :!! as large a vote as could bo polled for any Democrat In the near view of Democracy's demonstrat ed unlitncss for national responsibility. He could pose well and he could deftly straddle; and what more does the mi nority party want? Let us frankly suppose that Major McKlnley Is friendly to sliver and that he would like to see it more freely used for coinage purposes under conditions assuring safety. Is that to his dis credit? , Reed for Second Place. Among the journals which regard the nomination of William McKlnley for president as a foregone conclusion, a cry is again raised for the placing on the ticket of Thomas B. Reed as the Republican candidate for vice-president. It Is argued that the peculiar conditions which now obtain and which threaten to continue in the United States senate by reason of the suprem acy of a radical free silver and Topu listlc coalition make it obligatory upon tho Republican party, If it would after next Murch possess the power to exe cute its policy of tariff restoration, to place In the chair of the senate a man with Mr. Reed's courage, audacity, par liamentary experience and resolution In favor of the reformation of the an tiquated rules which govern that notor iously unsatisfactory body. It is point ed out that Mr. Reed has often ex pressed a wish to hold the reins over the senate, and it will not be doubted that if any Republican now In public life could by sheer force of will' power and dominating personality achieve the wlBhed for transfiguration of the senate as a parliamentary body, he could. Again, the vice presidency would In Mr. Reed's hands be lifted up from the obacure and deteriorating position into which it lias In late years fallen, and restored to Its original rank as the second greatest office In tho nation, and a stepping stone to the presidency It self. There can be little doubt that were Mr. Reed to conquer the senate as he conquered the Fifty-first congress, the people of this nation, at the expira tion, of the McKlnley administration, would turn to him with substantial unanimity and Invite him to be Mc Klnley's successor. Mr. Reed, It should be remembered, Is still comparatively new to the people in the sense of a man aspiring to the first place within the nation's gift. Until the death of Blaine he was necessarily obscured from the view of the great bulk of his party outside of New England. His popularity now In the country generally rests mainly upon his one achievement of introducing business-like methods Into the parliamentary government of the house of representatives. Though his Immediate friends and neighbors have for more than a decade recognized him as the peer of any living statesman, It cannot be said that he has been re vealed In such an aspect to the entire country for a longer period than four or five years. It follows, therefore, that the nomina tion at St. Louis of another than he for president could not be fairly inter preted as implying that he may not yet, in due season, be called to the chief magistracy of the republic. It Is to be remembered that McKlnley has been- twice previously a convention favorite, whereas the vote for Reed next June, will be his first entry as a presidential possibility. Rarely has it happened that the highest nomination has been won at the first attempt by men of prominence In the nation. In cases which seem to disprove this as sertion It will be found that the success ful candidates were almost invariably of the dark horse variety, the case of General Harrison in 1881 being the only exception that we now recall. If Mr. Heed would consent to accept the nom ination for vice president in the event of his failure to secure the nomination for the presidency, it would bring into the ensuing campaign every element of the party's strength; it would assure an overwhelming triumph at the No vember polls; and It would very likely bo tho moann of innurlng to the present speaker a still further promotion in the fulness of time, besides again elevating the vice presidency to a dignity becom ing to the second highest post in the greatest government on earth. Referring to President Eliot's recent speech at the Washington arbitration conference, wherein he roundly rated Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney for their robust course in connection with the Venezuelan boundary dispute, the Chi cago Timea-Herald says "It ought to be Impossible for an American scholar to assail the constitutional head of the nation and one of his trusted advisers in language more commonly heard from the IIpb of 'political buccaneers." Our Chicago contemporary should make more generous allowance for President Eliot's sore liver. '" - If there Is any purpose for which Scrantonlans can stand it to have, their taxes raised, it is . for the purpose of bettering the public schools. The schools of Scranton are steadily Im proving in the quality of work per formed by them, and it therefore is al together fitting that there should be a corresponding enlargement of the funds devoted to their maintenance. Every dollar put In free schools is a dol lar loaned at compound Interest, with every citizen as a coupon-holder. The Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer has read The Tribune to poor advan tage if it believes that this journal's friendliness for silver goes to the ex tent of supporting free and unrestricted sliver coinage, or that it would make acceptable to it the admlsston into this Union " of such unpopulated cow patches as Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma . territories. Whether silver shall be used or abandoned as redemp tion money is a question not to be an swered by the manufacture to order of unfit states. Mr. Kohlsaat announces over his sig nature that the first year of his owner ship of the Chicago Tlir.es-Herald has been, from a business standpoint, the most prosperous year in the paper's history, either before or since Its con solidation. It certainly has been the must brilliant year from a news stand point The success of this clean paper Is an Inspiration to decent Journalism everywhere. It is well to remember that however sincere or insincere the leaders of the Republican party in Pennsylvania may be iu their new professions of Bolicttude for political and legislative reftnn, the people themselves can. If they care to, keep these leaders to their word. It will be the public's own fault If it gets buncoed. Senator Quay no doubt believes, as do most sensible persons, in arbitra tion; but we note that he has just se cured an increase of $150,000 in the sum appropriated for the equipment of ocean steamers as auxiliary cruisers of the United States navy. It Is a safe guess that if McKlnley Is elected president he will be too much of a man to turn the loaves and fishes over to the fellows who simply donned his colors to accomplish factional pur poses of their own. - - David Martin is evidently not yet reconciled to the dollar brand. HOW L0A "MIST CtBA WAIT? From the New York Sun. If the resolutions adopted by congress hail been Joint Instead of concurrent in form, they would ere this have been ap proved by Mr. Oevelund. or have been puKsed over his veto. In either case, our recognition of the Cubans as belligerents would have become u fact. For every additional day thut such recognition ia de layed there is a grievous addition to the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Spaniards, nor cull the responsibility for the toleration of their savagvy be permanently pluoed upon the prtdent. The responnlbilliy will be shared by both houses of congress, if they connive ut a long continued disregard by the executive of the convictions and wlshis of the Amer ican people. When it lill' seem certnln that the president Is drmlned to frus Irate the Intentions of the federul legis lature, no senator ami no representative who voted for the resolution can with uny show of consistency refuse to reafllrm them In a peremptory form. It is already evident that Mr. Cleveland does not mean to heed the gist of the reso lutions. Their primary utiii was not tho proffer of a friendly suggestion on the part of the president, that If Spuln would otter the Cubans home rule, he would urge them to accept it. That was merely u. supple mental and secondary purpose, and no substantial results could be expected from the overture by any one familiar with the history of Spain's relations with her Amer ican dependencies. Their capital object was the immediate recognition of the revo lutionists as belligerents, so that, when made prisoner, they might no longer be deprived of the merciful treatment pre scribed by tile usages of civilized warfare. Hui'h recognition is for the moment all thut Cubans themselves request, and It Is the least thut they have a right to ask of a humane und enlightened people. It is as clearly the duty of the United States to prevent the prosecution of a programme of extermination in Cuba, as It is the duty of Russia to avert a renewal of the Armenian atrocities. Our duty Is much more easily discharged. To rescue the Christians In Armenia the cxar might have o Interpose by force. But a mere declar ation on our part would give the Cuban combatants for liberty the status which they desire and deserve under the law of nations. To postpone or evade, on the pretext of .doing something else, the con cession of a status which would enable the Cubans to liberate themselves, is a re version to the policy of the Grant admin istration, which had a disastrous eueot upon the outcome of the ten years' war for independence. Those who voted for .the concurrent res olutions never supposed that they were weakening the force of their demand for the acknowledgment of Cuba's belliger ency when they appended the expression of opinion that the president should en deavor to bring about a termination of the war. Had the friends of Cuba, who constitute nine-tenths of both houses, Imagined for a moment that Mr. Cleveland would make his acceptance of their advice In a matter of secondary concern an ex cuse for rejecting It in a matter of para mount importance, they would have con fined themselves to a short but sufficient declaration that the Cu'bans are in point of fact belligerents, like that set forth in the joint resolution introduced by Sen ator Morgan. We have no doubt, in spite of the dilatory tactics to which the few enemies of Cuba In the senate might recur, that the Morgan resolution could be speed ilvpassed. We believe that the senator from Alabama will call up and press his res olution, now that the president has given unmistakable proofs of his intention to dis regard a wish expressed by the people's representatives with an impressive ap proach to unanimity. ' MAKING A H ECO HI). From the Philadelphia Times. Congressman Joe Scranton has engaged In a new occupation 'that of divdlng the western territories into a convenient num ber of states and this peculiar departure by way of activity ana energy now sur rounding the movements of the Lacka wanna statesman must be regarded as a very clever employment, for since his engagement as a creator of an assortment of commonwealths the warring factions in the Lackuwanna Valley have simmered down almost to a condition of peace and good will, Mr. Scranton's aptitude and ability as on organizer of stutes suitable to follow Utah in the procession Is suggestive of a talent none expected him to possess. Bills for the admission of Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and another bill running Alaska in as a territory, shot' how in- diistrlotis Mr. acrnnton nag neen lately tn attempts to auu to inc i.mon, u,r.-i nis in- dustry only terminated, it will be noted, when opportunities to increase the stars in the nag Rave out. It is hardly likely that Mr, Scranton's zeal and diligence as a statesman emi nently proper as they appear to be will avail the sections that have been the ob jects of his favor. But It must be remem bered that Mr. Scranton Is really In earn est in this latest celerity to prove himself a member of the house. Never before In all his previous terms has he ap peared to such signal advantage. And this patriotic exhibition, coupled with a unique If unrewarded industry, must have its effect 111 the Lackawanna country. TOM REED'4 CHANCE. From the Chicago Times-Herald. Of courao Mr. Reed could not reform the senate all by himself. The senate Is the senate, and the vice-president of the Unttd States Is not a member of it. He is supposed to be a mere figurehead, a moderator, an automatic gavel. There are many men In Washington who say neither Mr. Heed nor any other presiding ofllccr of the senate could exercise the smallest Influence upon that body or Its nvthods; that If by? attempted leadership or change the moss-grown traditionalists would run all over him and make him wish he hud ne'er 'been born. When the Moment come In which it is necessary to make the senate correspond more closely to the genius of our Institu tions by decapitation of its ancient and wormy traillliiln. Tom Reed, with a lie. publican majority at his back, is just the man to do It. He has the nerve, the ex perience, the force of will. He would find the way to put a' motion to adopt a rule providing for limitation of debate, no matter how many Populltes, silver ex tremists or Democrats were on their feet exercising their voual organs anil eryins "czar" and "tyrant." Mr, Heed has had some experience In thut line and Is just the man for the Job. Though It cannot be said he has any ambition to be vlna president) It Is snfe to say he would keenly relish tho prospect of smashing the sen atorial fudge and fustian behind which small men make ithemselvss great in de feating the will of the people. In no other way could he render belter srvlc to a coun try which admires him, AN OITSIUF. VIEW. ., From the Philadelphia North American. Congressman Bcranton Is also troubled with tho gubernatorial bee but he has no longer any claim upon Senator Quav, or, for that matter, upon the Republican party. There was a time when Mr. Scran ton wielded great power in northeastern Pennsylvania, but that time 1 past. His bolt of the regular Republican nominees for city offices in the town of Scranton last spring has eliminated Mr. Scranton from tit-publican politics. He can never expect to be further honored by that party, and thin In hla trnt In rnnmjim aa a Republican. He may make a deal with the lH-mccrata whereby he may be their can didate for congress, but he win never again secure the regular Republican nonit- uauvn. Why Be the Effect of the Meats.
