Few Bmoother running: conventions
havo been held In this county than
thnt of the Democrats In tho court
house yesterday. It was a convention
that was bossed In a thoroughly busl-ness-llltc
way. The delegates received
$1B apiece for expenses, a meal ticket
for dinner nnd a Blip of paper contain
ing the names of tho candidates agreed
upon by the slate-makers. These can-

Permanent Chairman of Democratic
County Convention.
didates were voted for by almost all
of the delegates. The candidates nom
inated were:
District Attorney-G. S. HORN, Scran
ton. Shcriff-C. II. SCHADT. Scranton.
Trcasurer-M. J. KELLY'. Scranton.
Prothonotary M. F. NORTON. Car
bondale. Clerk-M. II. GRIFFIN, Scranton.
Recorder-FRED. WARNICE, Scran
ton. Reglster-WILLIAM KOCH, Scranton.
Jury Commissioner FRANK DOUGH
ERTY, Dalcvllle.
Mr. Dougherty's name was not on the
slate, that office being left free for all.
It was the Intention of the slate-makers,
however, to nominate John E.
Flynn, of Archbald, for Jury commis
sioner, but ex-Sheriff John J. Fahey
Interested himself in Mr. Dough
crty'.s behalf and the latter won, much
to the chagrin of tho people of Arch
bald, who say they have been repeat
edly and persistently turned down In
Democratic conventions.
Early In the morning the delegates
were nstlr, particularly those who par
ticipated In Monday night's caucus.
.During the early morning most of them
were seen and brought Into line by the
workers for the slate and It was an
nounced to them that those who voted
for the slate would get $15 and dinner,
while those who voted against it need
expect nothing but hard knocks. The
argument was clinched by the assertion
that the slate would win, anyway, and
that no good would be accomplished by
kicking.
GOT INTO LINE.
This brought nearly all of the malcon
tents into line and the only ones who
caused any trouble In the convention
were W. J. Rurke and John J. McAn
drew. The former succeeded in get
ting a resolution adopted instructing
tho Lackawanna county delegates to
the state convention to vote for the
resolution that will be offered removing
"William F. Harrlty from the National
committee.
M. H. Griffin, who was nominated for
the office of clerk of the courts, refused
to accept the nomination and Matthew
F. Norton, it is said will also refuse to
run.
The convention was very orderly. It
was attended by few Republicans, but
many of the more prominent Demo
crats of the county were present.
At 10:45 County Chairman T. J. Jen
nings called the convention to order
and County Secretary D. J. needy read
the call. Joseph Brennan, of Carbon
dale.and M. J. Ruddy, of the Sixteenth
ward, were appointed assistant sec
retaries, and the work of receiving cre
dentials and preparing a roll of the
convention was begun. A number of
contests materialized and were referred
to committees.
After the roll call Chairman Jen
nings asked for nominations for tem
porary chairman, and Attorney Joseph
O'Brien nominated Colonel F. J. Fltz
slmmons. Mr. Jennings was also nom
inated, but declined to be a candidate
and Colonel Fltzslmmons was chosen
by acclamation. In accepting the posi
tion he made one of his eloquent and
forceful addresses. After paying trib
ute to Bryan and other shining lights
of Democracy, he said:
WHAT THEY MET FOn.
Wo meet today not to mourn over ISM
nor Inaugurate the campaign of 1900.
Wo assemble not to criticise tho Dlngley
bill nor to complain of Mark Hanna's
treatment of tho miners. Wo have como
together to name a ticket for tho voters
of this county to ratify at tho polls.
We hope to select clean, competent men.
Having alono that we then will ask tho
tax payers to comparo their tax receipts
of this year with those of last, and If nil
do not find a reabon for changing the
administration of county affairs It must
be admitted that partisanship runs high
In Lackawanna,
At tho conclusion of his address the
chairman appointed the following
committees.
Contested seats James F. Boylan, Car
bondalo; Miles Clark, Scranton; John F.
McDermott, Carbondale; J, S. Bachman,
Gouldsboro; Adelbert Carpenter, Scott.
Permanent organization Jos. O'Brien,

T!'.ls. one the invention adjourned
unti 1 1.30 p m. on motion of Delegate
Martin Cadden, of the Thirteenth ward.
The convention reconvened promptly
at that hour and the committee on
contested seats reported in favor of

and Philip Trelse, Third district of Fell
township, one half a vote each: John

Tho report was adopted.
THE nESOLUTIONS.
Following this the resolutions were
rend by Attorney James J. O'Mnlley
and wero adopted. They aro an fol
lows: Tho Democratic party of Lackawanna
county assembled in convention on Tues
day, Aug. 21, 1897, presents as Its car
dinal principles tho enactment of legis
lation for tho equal rights of all tho
people, an economically administered
government, nnd an abiding faith In tho
teachings of Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Jackson and William Jennings Bryan.
Resolved, That the platform adopted
at tho National convention of Democ
racy In 1S96 bo endorsed fully nnd with
out reserve. That tho noble battle of
that magnificent leader, William Jen
nings Bryan, for tho interests of tho
common pcoplo bo fittingly recognized as
worthy of tho highest commendation that
can bo bestowed.
Resolved, That tho most cordial sym
pathy Is presented to tho cause of tho
striking miners of tho bituminous coal
fields of Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio and Illinois; and that tho Interfer
ence of tho Federal courts In lRSUtng In
junctions bo uncompromisingly de
nounced. Government by Injunction is a
tyrannical, usurping, and undemocratic
method of proceeding to adjust the dif
ferences between capital and labor, and
it should not bs tolerated In a country of
freedom.
Resolved, That the Pennsylvania state
legislature of 1S97 bo branded as the most
notoriously extravagant and wasteful In
tho history of our commonwealth; and
that tho offence Is all the more pro
nounced in view of the grntlutous prom
ises of reform mado before last election.
Tho waste of the peoplo's money has
been so lavish that tho schools, char
ities and benevolent Institutions of the
stato havo suffered largely In conse
quence. Tho extravagance of tho session
was so glaringly palpable that a Repub
lican governor could not dare approvo
of many of the appropriations.
Resolved, That tho Republican commis
sioners of Lackawanna county bo stig
matized as dishonestly extravagant In
contracting and approving bills for the
alterations nnd repairs to the court house.
Tho addition of a third story has cost
tho tax payers several thousand dollars
In excess of the amount that the struc
ture and foundation originally cost. Tho
attention of tho Judges of Lackawanna
county is called to tho cost of the court
houso repairs, and they are earnestly
besought to instruct tho next grand Jury
to order an Investigation.
MR. BURKE'S PROPOSITION.
As soon ns the report of the commit
tee on rcsoultlons wns disposed of, Del
egate W. J. Burke, of tho Ninth
ward, claimed .the attentions of the
convention. He read the following res
olutton, and moved its adoption:
Resolved, That tho several delegates
from this county to the coming stato
convention are Instructed to voto In favor
of all resolutions offered in said conven
tion for the purpose of purging tho
Democratic national committee of all per
sons, who do not affiliate with tho prln-'
clples set forth In tho Chicago platform
and particularly of those who were op
posed to the election of William J. Bry
an. When the yeas and nays were called
on the resolution thero seemed to be
more votes against than for it. It was
recognized as a direct slap at Harrlty
and several of the latter's friends re
quested tho chairman to rule on tho
voto. He was In doubt, however, and
said so. By this time several of the
delegates were demanding thnt tho
resolution be apaln read, nnd Mr.
Burko complied with the request.
The cheering and hand-clapplnp that
followed showed .that the sentiments
expressed in the resolution were popu
lar with a good many of the delegates.
Again a vote was taken, and this time
there was quite a storm of "yeas," and
only a few weak "nays." Chairman
Fltzslmmons declared that the resolu
tion had passed and said the conven
tion was ready to hear nominations for
county offices. Contrary to the usual
custom, a district attorney wns nomin
ated flrst and a sheriff second, this be
ing the order named in the new rules.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien mnde a vig
orous address in presenting the name
of George S. Horn as a candidate for
district attorney, and paid high trib
ute to Mr. Horn as a lawyer and man.
Paul Aten, of Newton, seconded the
nomination. W. J. Burlto wanted to
know If any one was authorized to
speak for Mr. Horn and say that he
will accept,
HORN NEVER REFUSED.
"George Horn has never refused to
answer the call of his party, and ho
will not refuse now," said Mr. O'Brien.
That seemed to satisfy the delegates,
and Mr. Horn was chosen by acclama
tion. Attorney M. J. Huddy made a neat
speech in nominating Charles H. Schadt
for sheriff. The nomination was mado
by ncclamatlon, as was that of M. J.
Kelly for county treasurer. Mr. Kelly
was nominated by M. J. Cadden, of the
Thirteenth ward,
"When the office of prothonotary was
reached came the first nnd practically
the only hitch. Matthew Norton, of
Carbondale, was the Blated candidate,
but evidently no one had been assign
ed the duty of nominating him. There
was a long pause and then Patrick
McDonnell, of Mlnookn. nominated
Martin McDonough, of the same place.
Joseph Brennan, of Carbondale, nom
inated Matthew Norton. P. J. Mul
herln, of Taylor, said he did not think
Mr. Donough would consent to the use
of his name and though it ought to bo
withdrawn. Mr. McDonnell thereupon
told tho convenelon thnt he had been
told by Mr. McDonough that he would
accept the nomination if It was tender
ed to him.
That being the casp Mr. Mulherln
said he was for Mr. McDonough, and
made a speech seconding the nomina
tion. On motion of Joseph O'Brien,
John J. Corbett, of this city and Mich
ael McDonnell, of Dickson, were named
tellers. The vote resulted as follows:
NOnTON 147
M'DONOUGH 15
W. J. Durke cast one of the votes
for McDonough. On motion of P. J.
Mulheiln the nomination wns made
unanimous. For clerk of the courts
John E. negan, common councilman
of the Sixth ward, was nominated by
John M. Moran, of tho Eighteenth
ward. At tho same time Mr. Moran
presented a letter to the chairman from
M. H. Griffin, announcing that he would
not bo a candidate 'for tho office. The
contents of the letter were not mado
known, although John J. McAndrew
and Mr. Moran asked that It be rend.
John Taylor, of Dunmore, nominated
M. H. Griffin. When this was done
Mr. McAndrew called .the attention of
tho committee to the fact that Mr.
Grlflln said he would not accept. Chair
man Fltzslmmons said that Mr. Grlf
lln would accept if nominated,
QUESTION OF VEHACITY.
"We only have Mr. Fltzslmmons'
word for that," said Mr. McAndrew,
"and on tho other hand Mr. Griffin as
sures us that ho will not accept." About
this tlmo Joseph O'Brien walked over
Lto Delegato Moran nnd the two had a
short conversation. At Its conclusion
Mr. Moran withdrew tho name of Mr.
Itegan and the nomination waa mado
by ncclamatlon.
Four candidates were named for re
corder of deeds. Attorney P. E. Tim
lin, of Jermyn, named Frederick Warn,
ke, of the West Side; John J. McAn
drew named Benson Davis, of tho West
Side; Attorney James E. O'Malley, of
Olyphant placed tho name of P. J,
Honan In nomination, and John Mc
Namara did the same service for II.
E. O'Malley, of tho North End. While
tho balloting was In progress Mr. Hon
an requested that his namo be with
drawn. The vote resulted as follows:
WARNKE 141
O'MALLEY 19
DAVIS A
On motion of Mr. McAndrew tho
nomination of Mr. Warnke was mado
unanimous. William Koch, of South
Scranton, had no opposition for register
of wills. Ho was nominated by Peter
Hobllng, Jr.
The contest of the day was for tho
office of Jury commissioner. The slate
makers did not name any one for that
ofllce, but nevertheless their sympa
thies were with John E. Flynn, of
Archbald. The following were nomi
nated: Thomas W. Kelly, of North
Scranton; Thomas II. Kelly, of South
Scranton; Edward Connor, of Bellevue;
Thomas Price, of Archbald; John T.
Flaherty, of South Scranton; Frank
Dougherty, of Moscow; John E, Flynn,
of Archbald. A. F. McAnulty made a
stirring speech seconding tho nomina
tion of Mr. Flynn. He spoke of Mr.
Flynn's services for the party, the glori
ous majorities that have been rolled up
for Democratic candidates by Arch
bald, which he termed the Gibraltar
of Democracy He said that In all fair
ness Archbald was entitled to the nomi
nation. W. J. Burke also seconded the
nomination.
DOUGHERTY'S CHAMPION.
Ex-Sheriff John J. Fahey mado a
speech seconding the nomination of Mr.
Dougherty. He said the Democratic
voters of the entire Third legislative
district asked for Mr. Dougherty's
nomination and It ought to be granted.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
FRANK DOUGHERTY 60
JOHN E. FLYNN 4G
THOMAS W. KELLY 15VJ
THOMAS H. KELLY 21
EDWARD CONNOR 0
THOMAS PRICE 5
JOHN FLAHERTY 7
JAMES P. FOLEY 13
There was no choice and a second
ballot was ordered. On motion of A.
F. McNulty It was decided to drop the
three lowest candidates after the sec
ond ballot. The names of Thomas W.
Kelly, Thomas II. Kelly and Thomas
Price were withdrawn. The second bal
lot was as follows:
FRANK DOUGHERTY 75
JOHN E. FLYNN 65
EDWARD CONNOR 3
JAMES P. FOLEY 14
The names of Flaherty, Connor and
Foley were dropped. Mr. Fahey said
there had been some dissatisfaction ex
pressed by delegates over the manner
In which the last ballot had been con
ducted and he moved that on the next
ballot each delegate stand up before
voting, so that those who were not dele
gates could not vote without being de
tected. On the third ballot the vote
was:
JOHN E. FLYNN GOV-
FRANK DOUGHERTY ....99 "
On motion of Joseph O'Brien the con
vention permanently adjourned.
GRIFFIN INTERVIEWED.
After the convention M. H. Grlflln
was seen by a Tribune reporter and
said that he would not bo a candidate.
That, he said, was final. Ho had made
up his mind to that effect, had so noti
fied the officers of the convention, and
was therefore not to be considered in
connection with the nomination. Tho
vacancy will bo filled by the county
committee, under the following provis
ion of the party rules:
Unfilled nominations shall' be made by
a two-thirds vote of tho entire county
committee; If tho candidate shall fall In
receiving two-thirds of tho commltteo
then tho convention shall bo re-assem-blcd
for tho purpose of making such
nominations.
Hon. Frank n. Coyne, of Old Forge,
is spoken of ns Mr. Griffin's possible
successor on the ticket.
Matthew Norton, of Carbondale, will
also refuse to run for prothonotary,
It Is said. The men who were manag
ing his campaign for him yesterday
refused to contribute anything towards
defraying the convention expenses and
Intimated that he would have nothing
to do with the nomination. None of
tho candidates were brouglit. before
tho convention yesterday.
The state delegates from this county
refuse to be bound by the resolution.
They say that they were elected by
legislative conventions and that a
county convention has no right what
ever to try and Instruct them.

SAYS IT WAS A ''QROQ" BILL.
Urynn Collins Seeks to Escnpo a
Nolo on That I'lcn.
A very unusual defence was offered
by Bryan Collins, of tho Twelfth ward,
yesterday to a suit brought by Store
keeper Henry Coyle, of the same ward,
to collect from Collins $135 and ten
years' Interest on a Judgment note
given In payment of his mother's store
bill.
In his answer, mado tnrough Attor
neys Qulnnan & Donahoe, he says that
at the time of the signing of the note,
June 7, 18S8, he was unfit to transact
business because of his being Intoxi
cated, and while in this condition was
taken advantage of by Coyle, in the
respect that he said tho debt was for
groceries and provisions, while In truth
It was for whisky, beer, ale and porter,
as his mother's pass-books, which have
since come Into his possession, will
show. He also alleges that he was
fraudulently induced to enter into an
amicable renewal of the note.
Judge Archbald granted a rule to
show cause why Judgment should not
be opened and the defendants let Into
a defense. It wns made returnablo at
next argument court and the sheriff
was directed to stay the sale set down
for today.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
tUndcr this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompi
nled, for publication, by the writer's
name. Tho Tribune will not bo held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed.
Shull This Decision Stand
Editor Tribune.
Sir Tho arrest of Mahon and Llttlo by
Chief Robling and their subsequent dis
charge by Alderman Millar, as recorded
In Monday and Tuesday's Tribune, In
volves a principle that deserves more
than a passing notice. They wero ar
rested for "a breach of tho peace." Their
discharge Implies that they had not
broken the peace. Shall this decision
stand? If It Is right for Mahon and Llt
tlo to sell and deliver their papers on
Sunday, then It is equally tho privilege
of every merchant in Scranton to sell
and deliver his goods on tho Lord's day.
Tho delivery of Sunday newspapers Is
certainly as clear a violation of the Sun
day laws of our stato as tho delivery of
dry goods or groceries. Now that which
would bo construed as "a breach of the
peace" on a week day and on a Sunday
aro two very different things. Boys and
men delivering and selling papers on
Sunday, however quietly done, aro a
great annoyance to quiet, Sabbath-loving
people. Robllng found men breaking the
laws of the state, which strictly pro
hibits tho performing of "any worldly
employment or business whatsoever on
tho Lord's day (work of necessity and
charity only excepted)." Theso men, In
dellvlng their papers, were also doing
that which la a great annoyance to every
true American citizen and a real dis
turbance In a Sabbath-keeping commun.
Ity. In nil theso things wero they not
committing "a breach of tho peace?" and
was It not the plain duty of Robllng to
arrest them? And should not tho alder
man havo Imposed tho fine upon theso
Sabbath-desecrators, provided by stat
uto? This Is tho way It looks to ono who
Is nn entire stranger to all the parties
concerned. W. A. Beecher.
