In that district, refusing the nomina

Knowing the Republican party to be the
greatest, grandest and most glorious po
litical party that ever went on record, I
believe It bigger than any one mnn or
clique of men. Also, I have faith in lis
virtue and vivifying power, expecting It
to rid itself of all death-dealing parasites.
And to you, my friends, who love law
find order and believe our government
should be of the people, by the people and
for tho people, and not of monev, by
money and for money, I will say that ns I
have tried to be a consistent Republican
pince I cast my first vote, and believing
these great wrongs, unjust Imputations
false accusations and the Improper use of
money will be righted in some other way,
I will tlmnk you for the honor offered
and beg to be excused from accepting tho

FIRE AT MIDNIGHT.
Famished Facitemcut in the Cpper
End of Raymond Court.
What might have been a serious and
wide swufi) of flame last night In the
district populated by itussian Jews on
the upper end of Raymond court, was
prevented by the absence of any breexe
and the quick discovery of smoke. Soon
ufter midnight a late pedestrian dis
covered smoke issuing from the rag
and junk storage building, two stories
high, at No. 4t anil reporteti It to fa-
trolinan Hart on Penn avenue.
The policeman experienced some dif
ficulty In opening the alarm, box No. 16,
at the Dickson works, and the building
was wrapped in flames by the time box
24, at the City hall, was pulled by Pa
trolman Moir, who saw the llames from
that-vicinity, and an alarm was sent In
by telephone from the Dickson works
office.
In the rear part of the structure were
horse and cow which were saved
from Injury. Across the court is a row
of small double houses, anil separated
from thetiurnlng Junk building by but
a few reet Is the House or iMatnan
Huravlts, owner of the two places. The
burning rags which were packed In
huge bales and the frame work of the
building furnished rare food for the
llames which shot high into the air.
The district fire companies soon had
the lire in subjection, but It was nearly
an hour before the last embers in the
big bales were entirely extinguished.
Kuravitz said he hud no insurance ami
that his loss would lie ubotit C'.uuO. He
bought the pronei'ty early in the yeur
from J. S. Miller.

in the list mailed they will be ul lowed
to assist this popular feature of the con
vention by sending their name ac
cording to the tenor of the letter, to
Attorney J. W. Browning, 414 Spruce

with the temporal side of the conven

vertise the city as this excursion.
Business men especially are enthu
siastic over the plan. Many of the most
prominent men of this city have not
only volunteered the services of their
tennis for the occasion but will drive
them in person. It promises to lie one
of the most beautiful and inspiring

BANNER UNFURLED
TO THE BREEZE
An Evening of Enthusiasm at the Cen
tral Republican Club Rooms.
STREET WAS LINED WITH PEOPLE
Open Air Addresses Delivered by
Hon. A. J. Colborn, jr., and Major
Everett Wnrrcu-.Willlnm Council
NpoLc in the Club ltooms Aftcrwnrd.
His Candidacy Has tiaincd the
Hearts of the Pcople--IIou. W. W.
Watson, Chairman of tho Evening.
Exercises Preceded by u Parade.
Thousands were present last night at
the exercises attending the banner
raising In front of the Central Repub
lican club rooms on Washington ave
nue. The handsome emblem was
placed in position above the center of
the street, after the members of the
various Republican dubs of the city had
terminated a short purude, led by the
Luwretice band, uml had assembled to
hear the speakers.
It was an occasion of much enthusi
asm, uml the men who euine out were
from the shops and mills and mines.
The cordial greeting which they gave
to the mention of the mimes of Mujor
McKlriley. Mr. Holiurt. William Connell
and all the candidates In the Republi
can column attested the feeling of
earnest intention to go to the polls on
election day and win a victory that
will entitle Lackawanna county to a
proud position among her sister coun
ties of the state.
Attorney Fred. W. Fleltz was chair
man of the committee that had in hand
the aiTuiigeinentM for the occasion: It
was till under the auspices of the Cen
tral Republican club. Assurances hud
been received from the various clubs
of the city thut they would be proud
to co-operate in making It a splendid
success; and at 7 o'clock the members
of the central club were out with the
Lawrence band receiving the oth
clubs as they came to the central citj.
A II.' of march was formed or? lower
Lackawanna avenue, where the Sound
Money League of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western car shops with 500
members fell In behind the Central club
and after them came the Junior Re
publican club, the McKInley club, of
Hell. vue, the William Connell club of
the Kleventh ward, and the Colonel E.
11. Ripple club of the Twentieth ward.
The parade turned to Spruce street and
up thut thoroughfare to Washington
avenue, taking a stand In front of the
rooms. The first column of the parade
can led .Chinese lanterns. Mr. Fleltz
was grand niarshiil and Colonel Ripple,
president of the club, marched by his
side. Torches were liberally supplied
to the ranks.
A FINE BANNER.
Over the front of the building patri
otic colors were draped and Chinese
lanterns were suspended. As tho ban
ner was drawn out through the front
windows on the third story nnd was
guyed to its overhead position there
was a mighty cheer from the multitude
below. Large bust portraits of the
presidential candidates appear near the
top of the banner and between the por
traits Is a shield on which Is seen the
inscription: "Protection, Prosperity,
and Sound Money." The names of the
state and county oflicers are written
below.
From u ledge over the entrance to the
building the sneechmaklng was made.
Hon. v . w. Watson was chairman and
was introduced by Mr. Fleltz. The ap
pearance of Mr. Connell was the signal
lor great uppluuse. Hon. A. T. Connell,
candidate in the Second Legislative
district, was present also, and was
loudly cheered. in his opening re
murks Mr. Watson said that it was an
evidence that there Is an intention on
the pnrt of the voters to rally with
their might to tho defense of the Re
publican standard when they come out
In such lnrge numbers to see a banner
raised. The Democrats four years ago
told the people they were too heavily
taxed and G rover Cleveland came Into
ofllce. We can see now what hns been
the result of his election. Mr. Watson
urged upon every man to put forth his
greatest effort.
"We are irolng to elect two Williams
this time. William McKInley nnd Will
lam Connell, aren't we?" said Mr. Wat
son. "You bet we are." came In a solid
chorus from the street.
MR. COLBORN INTRODUCED.
Hon. A. J. Colborn, jr., was Intro
duced ns the speaker of tho evening.
His address was given In a clear ring
ing style and not a single word of his
eloquence was indistinct. He was fre
quently Interrupted by applause when
lie referred to Mujor McKInley and Mr.
Connell. In concluding his address,
speaking of the latter he said that his
success in this valley stands as the best
testimonial of his worth. He began
life as a toller and step by step, by his
own exertion and ability, has risen un
aided to the position lie now occupies.
In substance Mr. Colborn's speech was
ns follows:
Tonight we unfurl our banner to the
breeze and with enthusiasm unrestrained
we cheer our chosen leuders, not so much
for themselves, but more especially for
the principles tney represent.
The good people of this country cannot
find words to express their gratitude to
our gallant chieftain for the service
which, ns a modest, self-respecting Amer
ican citizen, splendidly gifted in nil that
constitutes a leader of men, he Is dally
rendering at his hime In Canton. It is
a spectuele which has not been witnessed
before. Knch day the throngs appear,
representing nil phirses nnd grades of
American life, and for each he hns a fit
ting word. Always manly and dignified,
always appealing to the noblest, most up
lifting nnd patriotic motives, never at a
loss for a pithy statement of the truths
upon which intelligent nnd patriotic ac
tion must depend, no other living man
leuds the nation s thought and reeling to
day more truly than William McKInley.
PROTECTION TO AMKRICA.
The platform upon which he stands em
braces protection to Amerlilin Indus
tries, the maintenance Intact of Amerlcun
good faith, the upholding of the American
Hag, the giinrilliig of American soil from
foreign Invasion, of occupancy, the In
violability of the civil rights of every
American citizen, the protection of Ameri
can labor against injurious foreign com
petition, and the preservation of every
American dollar as good as gold and no
lowering of the standard of American
honor, it means Amerlcun manhood. It
appeals to no classes and It needs not the
arts ot tne iiemngogiies to interpret it.
It means that the policy which Washing
ton anil Hamilton inaugurated, which
Cblv. Lincoln und Hlalne advocated, shall
aguln be ntlirmed In American legisla
tion. It means mat tne i niteii states will
take care of all her citizens, before she
studies the Interests of foreign merchants,
manufacturers and nations, or announces
the reign In commerce of the brotherhood
of num. le tneuns that charity begins nt
home. It means that our furnace tires
shall he kindled, or spindles shall whirl,
und comfort and plenty abide In American
houses ami prosperity be ordained once
more throughout the length und breudth
of our land.
In the years when Mr. Bryan was In con
gress there was plenty or money in the
country, but there was no wuy of getting
It into circulation. In the proper sense
money was not plenty, been use work was
not plenty, and work was not plenty be
cause Mr, Hryan and his party hud closed
the American mills and opened the mills
of foreign countries, ulues have shrunk
faster and farther than wages, and the
classes arid the masses are In the same
boat. Free trade has smitten wltji Impar
tial hand both employers und working
men, yet Mr. llrywn when asked about
the tariff, sneerlngly said: "oh, the tariff
Is not an Issue this year." Let him ex
plain why the so-called crime of 1S73
which he denounces In unmeasured terms,
the demonstration of silver which he
now bewails, never hurt anybody while a
protective tariff was In force.
Why' .did this "great crime" slumber
peacefully for over twenty years during
nepuuiivun ruie anu omy uwase to ruin
ous activity, when the Democratic party
cume into power? Where was It hiding in
sy, und where did It appear us a holy
terror In 1M ufter Mr. llryan und his
Surty had tlxed their free trude bomb to
low our Industries Into the air? It l- so
clear that "a way-furlng man though a
fool need not err therein" that II Is not
the crime of 1&73, but the crime of IStl'J
which is the cause of all our woes.
Not daring to make a campaign on tho
tariff, the shrewd politicians of the Dem
ocratic party assisted by the i'npuilsts,
put out the silver question, thinking that
the people would La so Interested in It
thut they would forget their blighted in
dustries anil lost and impoverished homes.
Hut in this they have boon mistaken,
their frenzied ravings nt the srturt scared
the whole country. But sanity soon re
turned und In thundering tunea Vermont
and Maine have spoken and told the
world that the lessons of the lust three
yeurs huve not lieen forgotten, and their
tones have found Hn echo In every stute.
where love of country, the ocean-tide of
patriotism Hows deep and strong, und
on the third day of November next, the
people will proclaim what they want and
will have, is an honest dollar, protection
and prosperity and William McKInley for
president of the United States.
Major Everett Warren wss the next
speaker, and lie was forced to wait a
few minutes before beginning to allow
the applause to die away. In part he
spoke us follows:
"What a splendid trlbue this Is by the
people of the city of i'.cranton to the
candidates of the Republican party In
the cltv. state and nation. We are to
be congratulated on the distinctness of
the issues by which in this campaign
the two great political parties are di
vided. The Republican party met ut
St. Louis and declared for protection,
for sound money and for justice to the
union soldier. It said the way to -recover
our lost prosperity Is to return
to the wise economical policy by which,
tinder Republican rule, our national
prosperity hud been achieved.
THE POPI'LIST-DEMOCRATS.
"It nominated a candidate who epi
tomizes In bis career the highest hopes
and aspirations of the Amerlcun
people. The Populist-Democratic aggre
gation met at Chicago und declared for
tariff reform, a nick name for five
trade, for the free colnnge of silver at
the arbltniry ratio of 1G to 1. They, too,
nominated u candidate, a sliver plated
candidate, upon whom either then or
since, bus been carved every danger
ous inscription known to complex so
ciety. The two issues then are pro
tection and sound money.
"As to the Hist, our experience of
four years ought to make our duty
clear. What do the candidates Kay?
Mr. Hryun says: 'The duty on coal Is
Indesponsllile. I believe In free Iron ore.
it is easy to Justjfy a bounty as a pro
tective tariff, und it Is Impossible to Jus
tify either.
"Listen to our candidate: 'It Is bet
ter to open the mills of the United
States to the labor of the American
people, than to open the mints of this
country to the sliver of the world.
"Ah to the other Issue the present
Democratic secretary of the treasury
advanced a year airo live propositions
and they have never been answered. He
said: "(1) There Is no silver standard
country thut is not on a silver basis.
(2) There is no silver standard country
that uses gold. CD There Is no pold
standard country but that uses silver
alotiK with gold. (4) There Is no silver
standard country where one-third us
much per capita Is in circulation us in
the United States. (5) There Is no sil
ver standard country where the la
boring man gets fair pay for a fair
day's work."
Mujor Warren concluded his speech
by referring to the various candidates
locally und he announced that there will
be a grand mass meeting at the Frotii
liighain theatre on Thursday evening,
October 15. at which the issues will be
ably explained by such speakers as
Charles Emory Smith, editor of the
Philadelphia Press, and ex-minister to
Russiu; James H. Hoyt, of Cleveland;
and D. D. Woodmancee, of the State
League of Republican clubs.
MR. CONNELL SPOKE.
This ended the open-air speech mak
ing. As many as could get in flocked
to the club rooms and listened to Mr.
Connell. He spoke briefly but to the
point. He has respect for the old
Democratic party, he said, but the
Republican party has led us into times
of prosperity through the last thirty
years and we will stick to it. He is in
favor of the use of gold and sliver as
money, but the silver must be worth
as much as the gold and every dollar
must be worth a dollar.
There Is little left of the Democratic
party now. The party that assembled
ut Chicago nnd Is represented by such
men as Tillman Is not the Democratic
party. What do you think, he said, of
a man who In a speech In Schuylkill
county advised his hearers, If their em
ployers should ask them to vote the
Republican ticket, to tell them to go to
hell; and If they Insisted to send them
to hell? Hut to the credit of the peo
ple of Schuylkill, they drove him out.
Tillman may have thought he was
speaking to an untutored and Ignorant
nudience of negroes In South Carolina,
but he was mistaken In thinking- he
could use such language In Schuylkill.
Mr. Connell said he has the utmost
conlideiice in the intelligence of the
American people and is willing to let
them decide the question. They will
decide it right, ho said. When he fin
ished he stood near the entrance and
shook hands with his hearers as they
passed out. He could not foil to have
been well pleased with the kindly as
surances he received from everybody.
