JUST BEFORE THE
? 'GREAT BATTLE
Way the Chairmen of the Camps irn
Committees View the Situation.
MR. THOMAS TALKS ABOUT RESULT
No Doubt About a Victory, and if the
Republicans Do Their Dutr Lacka
wanna Count? Will Establish a New
Record with Reference to Republi
can .Majorities--What Democratic
Chairman Jennings lias to Say.
This long to be remembered cam
paign is drawing to a close, for tomor
row will take place the battle of the
ballots, which will result In the elec
tion of Major McKlnley to the presi
dency and the inauguration on March
4 of a season of progresslveness and
prosperity that will bring comfort and
cheer to many a desolate fireside.
The national victory will be decisive,
but not more so than that in Lacka
wanna. For two months a clean, digni
fied campaign has been conducted by
the Republican county committee,
whose effort It has been to bring the
fullest Information with reference to
the questions at issue, home to every
voter of the county.
The good effects of this earnest work
will be manifest tomorrow.
From tigures compiled from conserva
tive estimates received from every part
of the county It is evident that this
county will go Republican by at least
8.000 majority and that the four Repub
lican candidates for legislature will be
elected. Chairman Thomas, of the Re
publican county committee, when seen
by a Tribune reporter last night, said
concerning the situation:
"We will win, certainly, but we want
every Republican In the county to use
his best efforts to get out the vote. The
bigger the vote the bigger the major
ities, and Lackawanna owes it to her
self to roll up a handsome Republican
vote Tuesday.
"This has been a remarkable cam
paign. Never before have I seen such
earnestness and determination to do
something for the success of the great
principles for which the Republican
party has been fighting this fall. Many
proffers of assistance have also come
from men who have been life-long
Democrats nnd the number of votes
McKlnley will get from that class of
men promises to be very large. As 1
view the situation, all of the Republi
can candidates In the county will be
elected and by good majorities, too.
This Is a Republican year; Republican
ism Is In the air. Let every member of
the party do his utmost Tuesday to
bring out the vote and Lackawanna
will give Republican majorities that
will surpass all past records."
MR. JENNINGS' OPINION.
"Claim everything" was the motto
at Democratic headquarters. Chair
man T. J. Jennings and Secretary D.
J. Reedy were pUidding away at poll
books and the like in a back room of
the headquarters over lilume's carriage
repository on Spruce street, when a
representative of the Tribune called
last evening. Mr. Jennings when asked
for a statement at first declined to be
interviewed, but after some parleying
among the faithful who were present
nt the time the following was agreed
upon as the Democratic view of the
local situation:
"We nre confident the county will go
for Hryan nnd Merrifield and all the
rest of the ticket; and we expect to
carry all four legislative districts. A
careful poll of the county warrants us
in mukins these claims."
Mr. Jennings was pressed to give
some figures or facts upon whic h this
estimate- was based, but he suld he
preferred not to be quoted further on
the subject. "We are honest, though,
in these claims," he averred, with an
nir which evidenced that he fully ap
preciated ho had left room for Just
the semblance of a doubt as to his
seriousness.
RECEIVING THE RETURNS.
Never before did this city witness
such extensive arrangements for the
receipt of election returns. Clubs,
stores, hotels nnd many other places
are having telegraph wires strung and
by tomorrow night there will be dozens
of instruments rendy to click forth the
anxiously awaited news.
The Republican county committee
will receive returns In the armory
which will be open to the general pub
lie. The Democratic committee will
hold forth at Music hall. The Central
Republican club have made elaborate
preparations for hearing the news nt
their rooms in the Price building. Ad
mittance here will be by card. The
Young Men's Republican club will have
nn instrument In a room on the second
floor of the Price building. The Young
Men's Christian association will fur
nish returns in their hnll and fill In th
waits with music and various other
kinds of entertainment, all of which the
general public can avail itself of at
twenty-five cents n head. The Young
Men's Institute of the Central City will
receive returns at their rooms on Lack
awanna avenue. The Scranton Ath
letic club will hear the news at their
hall on Cedar avenue.
SATURDAY NIGHT'S MEETINGS.
Carbondnle hnd another rousing Re
publican rally Saturday night. Despite
the fact that the Democrats wcrp hold
ing a meeting In the Academy of Music,
to which their best speakers hod been
summoned and which had been widely
ndertised, the opera house, vhr.? the
Republicans held forth was packed t
the doors and many people were turned
away, although the meeting had been
announced only n few dnvs In advance.
lion. Charles P. O'Malley, Attorney
R. A. Zimmerman and Major Everett
Warren were the speakers. John Dlm
mick presided.
Mr. O'Malley was the first to speak.
He was given a warm reception and
during his address of three-quarters of
nn hour, was frequently Interrupted
with applause. After expressing thunks
for the ovation tendered him nnd the
hearty support accorded him In his fight
for the legislature two years ago, he
proceeded to discuss In a plain, con
vincing manner the principal issues of
the enmpalgn,
He dwelt upon the fact that this elec
tion Is to be settled by the Independent
voter who prir.es his own welfare nbove
blind partisanship and counseled his
hearprs. particularly the young men
who had their whole life before them,
to think well before casting their votes
In this momentous battle. Four months
ago. he went on to say, the great men
of the Republican party were striving
In get the presidential nomination.
The Democrats were stlrlvlng to get
a man to take the nomination.
For twenty years the Democrats have
cried for an opportunity to apply their
free trade doctrine. Two years ago,
when they had the onportunlty. they
proved that individually they realized
thr fallacy of their faith, for whpn the
bill was under discussion every Demo
crat was found endeavoring to protect
the particular Industry that was fore
most In his own locality. The question
of free trnde Is forever settled In Ameri
can politics. The people demand and
must have protection.
SEIZED A NEW ISSUE.
Their old Issue being dead, the Demo
crats were glad to seise upon any oppor
tunity to start In a new course of de
lusion and deception nnd when the free
sllverltes. who had campaigned quietly
but steadily and forcefully for three
years through the medium of the bi
metallic league, offered them this op
portunity they fell in with it.
At another place In his speech he
called the attention of the railroad men
to this salient fact: In eighteen states
of the Union railroad traffic Is regu
lated by statute. Under inflated money.
the railroads In these states would be
unable to increase their rates to com
pare with the Increase In the cost of
maintenance, which the Riyanites
claim will ensue, and the result would
be the bankruptcy of every railroad si
affected. The cost of railroading would
Increase, while tho revenue could not.
The employes, to say the least, would
have no chance for a raise In wages.
Bryan admits that the cost of living
would increase. Where would this
leave the railroad men? Following the
election of 1892 there was a railroad
panic which caused the laying off of
43,000 railroaders and there h-is been a
depression ever since. Bryan's election
means a railroad panic compared with
which that of 1893 is as nothing.
MR. ZIMMERMAN'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Zimmerman followed with a force
ful and eloquent speech, which he pre
faced with a message that the signs of
victory were most favorable: that Mc
Klnley could not be defeated. He pic
tured a likely Bryan cabinet as consist
ing of Tom Watson, Altgeld, Debs. Till
man, Coxey and Mary Ellen I.oase, and
asked the audience If they wanted to
exchange for this the government of
Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Qarfleld,
Blaine, Harrison and McKlnley. There
were cries of "No! no!" from all over
the house. He closed with an eloquent
plea to tho people of Carbondale to
stand by McKlnley, one of America's
foremost statesmen. He stands as the
enbodlment of all that means prosper
ity, peace and happiness among the
people, said Mr. Zimmerman. He Is the
home builder and the home protector.
He is the boy soldier, the man states
man and will be the next president of
the United States.
Major Warren brought the meeting
church, West Slde.Thursday afternoon,
to a close with one of his practical conviction-carrying
speeches that roused
the audience to the highest point of en
thusiasm. He fairly riddled Mr. Merrl
fleld's letter of acceptance, paying par
ticular attention to the wild claim that
Blaine was a free silverlte and took oc
casion to remark. In this connection,
that In these troublesome times one
blast from Blaine's trumpet would be
enough to silence 10,000 Brynns.
The meeting concluded with three
rousing cheers for McKlnley, Connell
and the whole ticket.
MEETING AT OLYPHANT.
Samuel J. Matthews presided over a
very enthusiastic and largely attended
meeting In the Olyphnnt Opera house
Saturday night. Speeches were deliv
ered by A. J. Col born, Jr., George M.
Watson and H. C. Reynolds, of Car
bondale, the candidate for the legisla
ture In the Fourth district.
Cundidate Reynolds, although In the
home of his opponent, was give a rous
ing reception. The fact thut many of
those present were Democrats made
the ovation a matter of great moment
to the Republicans.
MR. CONNELL WELL RECEIVED.
There was an enthusiastic meeting
of citizens at No. 3 school house, Ml
nooka, Saturday night nt which Will
iam Connell was received with great
cheering. Mr. Connell was at one time
a resident of tho place, and though the
district contains but few Republicans
the meeetlng at the school house was a
large one, uud from the sentiment ex
pressed he is sure to get a big vote to
morrow. VOTE FOR ALEX. T. CONNELL
To the Voters of the Second Legislative
District:
Fearful that In the excitement tncl
cidental to a fiercely contested presi
dential election, matters of local im
portance may be forgotten, we take
this means of calling your attention to
the necessity of re-electing Hon. Alex.
T. Connell as representative from this
legislative district. Two years ago Mr.
Connell yielded to the pressure brought
to bear upon him by influential citizens
who were nnNlous to advance the In
terests of this district, and accepted
the nomination In the face of what
looked like a hopeless contest.
liy his Indefatigable etTorts and per
sonal popularity he was successful at
the polls. Although a new member he
entered vigorously Into the work of
law-making at Harrisburg, and suc
ceeded in securing more nnd better leg
islation for this dlctrlct tlimt we have
been able to procure for years.
He Introduced the bill known ns the
"Connell bill." und by his persistent ef
forts and Influence secured Its passage.
This bill provides that where a poor
district tukes care of Its own indigent
Insane, it shiill receive from the state
$2.25 per week for each such insane per
son. Uy this bill the tnxpuyers of this
district alone ore saved about SIS.O11O
annually. He was also Instrumental In
passing the present Mechanic's Lien
law, which prevents the laborer from
being defrauded of his wages by dis
honest contractors: the Plumbers' bill,
the Superior Court bill, and many
other Important laws.
Notwithstanding the unusual de
mand for appropriations. Mr. Connell
succeeded in securing $2",(KiO for the
I.ai kawanna hospital; he alno led the
fight ngalnst reducing the appropria
tion for the public schools of this state,
and this, notwithstanding tiiat it was
his first term at Harrisburg. In view
of this we believe that we arc justified
in asking you as voters and taxpayers
to promote your own interests and the
Interest of the district, by Riving to Mr.
Connell your hearty and earnest sup
port ut the polls on November 3.
This Is the most important district in
Lackawanna county, and Northeastern
Pennsylvania, comprising ns It does ths
larger part of the city of Scranton,
which Includes nearly oil the public and
charitable Institutions, which must re
ceive state uld. If Mr. Connell Is re
turned ns an old member, he will with
out doubt be accorded n place on the
appropriation committee, which will
put hitl In a position to look after end
secure aid for such Important local In
stitutions ns the Lackawanna hosplt.il,
the ural school, and the Home for the
Friendless, without which assistance
the work of these institutions must bo
greatly handicapped.
We believe, thtreforo. that it Is the
duty of every voter in this district, Ir
respective of past party nfllllatlon, to
vote for Mr. Connell's re-elction.
Fred. W. Fleitz,
Chairman Second Legislative district.

MANY MINISTERS
PREACHED POLITICS
Scranton Divines A'e Surely Stirred
About Tcui-t.ow's Election.
VARIETY CF PULPIT UTTERANCES
In but One Otlicr National Campaign
Have .Ministers Been Mo Kraptiutie
in Political Pulpit Utterances.
Mnuy of Yesterday's Sermons Had
to Do with the Great Dattle of the
Unllots.
There were but few ministers who
yesterday failed M include In telr ser
mons or lectures something pertaining
to the great battle of the ballots to
morrow. There was an ulmost unani
mous resort to sermons pertaining
wholly to Christian politics, the purity
of the ballot and te like, or else the
discourses contained subject-matter of
greater or less extent merely suggested
by the election.
In past years the election has been
preceded by political utterances upon It,
liut never, excepting the Lincoln cam
paign, have ministers been so emphatic
In the mattsr as now. It Is their be
lief, evidently, that this Is the eve tf
a crisis. Ceitalnly the divines are
stirred ns seldom before to pi each c.m
clllatlun, forbearance, thoughtful voting
nnd the necessity of voting. In most
cases the preaching Is u general appeal
concerning every voter's duty In helping
make politics clean, but there have
been a few instances whence the ser
mons have pluinly Indicated which
party the speakers believed to be the
most deserving of support.
DR. DIXON'S DISCOURSE.
A pronounced gold nnd McKlnley
ring wns contained In the prelude to
the regular sermon by Rev. lr. Joseph
K. Dixon in tho Penn Avenue Ihiptist
church In tho evening. Its subject was
"On the Eve of Rattle." He said:
"The Issues which are to be decided
next Tuesduy by the American people
pierce to the very core and genius of
our Institutions.- The devil does not
own this world and Cod has not gone
off on a vacation. Right, truth, in
tegrity, freedom, will prevail on Tues
duy next. But I would hove every
man who henrs me this nii,!it. and I
would I could trumpet my words to the
remotest corns of this great lard real
ize in his deepest soul that God has
given him the divine rlsht of citizen
ship to exercise that right is beyond
the privilege of angels In the glorious
hours of tuls closing century not to
exercise It or to misuse It, Is to betray
a holy trust.
"The man who can vote and don't
vote In this critical hour of the nation's
history becomes a traitor to the flag.
The man who votes against conscience
and reason, for repudiation and anar
chy, and the destruction of the Su
preme court of the United States, allies
himself and his vote with the enemies
of good citizenship and good govern
ment. He sets himself in deadly an
tagonism to God in history. The cross
was planted on these shores und the
seeing eyes of the great Columbus dis
covered our coasts amid the singing of
a Christian hymn. The exile has here
found a place of refuge the poor and
downtrodden have here found a haven.
The man who votes for a dishonest nnd
dirty dollar lifts the bayonet against
nil this. He plants his feet on soil
with those men who the other day tore
the Hag from Its staff in one of our
greut cities, spat upon It. trampled It
beneath their feet. I exhort every man
here to stay out of the ranks of these
modern Iconoclasts who would shatter
every Idol of freedom, patriotism and
progress.
' CAUGHT A RUN EEAM.
"Frances Ramee, In one of her novels
tells how when the Lord of life made
the nations of the, earth He caught a
sun beam, tied It with 'a bow of blood
red ribbon nnd canting It down to earth
It been me the French nation. He took
a heart of pure gold In a lump of lend
and sent it rolling and humping down
wards nnd it became the English na
tion. Then he took a mask of velvet,
a spray of (lowers, a burst of song and
a dagger and tossed It to the earth and
It became the Italian people. Frances
Ramee halts Just here but the march
of civilization does not stop here; tho
poetry and flowers do not slop here.
When the Lord of life made this earth
He took a si retch of Infinite blue from
the unuullled sky, a bar of red from the
crimson west. He took the pure earth
mists that were growing up us morning
Incense from the meadows ami gardens
of the month of June and when the
evening lumps were lighted, He culled
the brightest stars from the galaxy of
he night. He bade the angels weave
them ir.to the grandest banner that
llculn on buul i.r sea the glorious stars
and stripes it floated down and down,
on and on it came until America, the
child of the skies, was born.
"That flag was llred upon at Sttmpter
and the shot went round the world; It
will It? fired upon next Tuesday; I t
every patriot do his duty, his whnl:;
duty nno with n new bum hwtre, born
of i hiimol'.nshl'i for the rl:M;t It folds,

mun-Mufr is a senree commodity. The
divines! safeguard to the v.-enl of this
proud land we call our home is the
sa redness and puritv of the ballot.
How any man can stain this white bal
lot is bevond comprehension: how nny
innn can write a scar of hell upon his
soul either by tho sale of his vote or
the prostitution of his ballot to unholy
ends is sadder than cypresn and crape.
Then, too, every mnn who votes hold.s

loyalty to our rommerc lal interests,
loyalty to home and church, loyalty to
tho land which hns been deluged n 1th
the best blood of fathers and brothers
demands our fidelity on Tuesday.
STORY A ROUT PETII GREEN.
Professor Balrd. the great fish com
missioner, tells how Seth Green, who
knew almost more than nny other man
the nation through about fish, tried to
induce the New York legislature to
pass a law by which one day In the
week the ntls of Ihe Hudson river
migh! be lifted In order that the shad
would not become exterminated, as
they were In danger of being, and In
order that some few of them might
have a chance to reach the had waters
of the Hudson and deposit their eggs.
He could not induce the legislature to
adopt his suggestion. Every represen
tative was afraid of his constituents
along the river, most of whom were In
the fish business. He finally said to
the legislature: "Sturgeons pre worth
five dollars a piece. It me deposit
otne sturgeon eggs up the head waters
of the Hudson." They took the bait,
as a good many legislators do. Green
deposited the eggs. Let these stur
geon, he quietly said, go down the river
and they will take care of the nets.
Votes are not worth five dollars a piece
they are above price they measure
the value of manhood they measure
on next Tuesday the vulue of patriot
ismthe value of Integrity the value
of an honest dollar. They measure the
credit of this nation In the markets of
the world: they measure the downfall
of anarchy; they measure the crushing
out of state rights against the Supreme
court; your place at the polls with a
pure ballot will be the sturgeon eggs
that are to cut the nets and let the shad
of commerce un. the firosperity for
which we pray. If the nets are not cut
and the honor of the nation preserved
blame ourselves. It is a crac thing to
get in line with the footstep of Je
hovah, to march along the lines of his
purpose.

DR. ROBINSON'S SERMON.
No more emphatic sermon .taa bce.i
delivered In this city than that of Rev.
IT. C'liuries E. Ro'uitison in the. ec(.ml
Pi'csbyteiiun church In the evenins.
It was a plain uud unmistakable at
tack on the Democratic platform and
the Democratic silver policy. Stripped
of its Biblical verbiage, the sermon
might have been delivered before any
gutlnring of voteis and termed a gcod
sound money ioiei ch. Tins wad Indi
cated when Dr. Robinson announced
his several texts;
Leviticus xlx:5, "And If ye iffcr a
sacrifice of pence o;terlngs unto ttr?
Lord, ye shall offer It at your own
will 33th, 31:111. 37th verses, ye shall do
no unrighteousness in Judgment, in
metyard, in weight or in measure; Just
balances, just weights, a Just ephat.
and u just kin shut! ye have. 1 am the
I Juord your Ood, which brought you out
! of the land of Egypt; therefore shall
ye observe all my statutes, and all my
Judgments, and do them. I hui the
Lord;" Deuteronomy, lv:S. C. "Behold
j 1 have taught you statutes nnd Judg
, mcnts, even as tho Lord, my Uud com
j manded me. that yu nhuuld do so In
i the land whither ve go to possess It:
I keep, therefore, and do litem, f-r this
I is your wisdom and understanding In
the hiirht of the tuitions which shall
hear all these statutes and say. Surely
this great nation Is a wise and under
standing people."
Dr. Robinson recalled the Inference?
of the prophets of old In the scheming.?
and machinations which kings and
princes considered only their own pre
rogative and which had called the rul
ers to visit dire punishment on those
priests who would not preach deceit.
To-duy the prophets under the rule of
the Shah or Sultan would under similar
circumstances meet the same treat
ment. American preachers, too, might
