Tlio Democratic organization find candidates In our county this year In dorse "fully and -without reserve" the 1 evolutionary Chicago platform, -with Hi 40-ccnt silver dollarH and all. Do you? If not, vote against them. Not a Year for Staying at Home, In a. current Intervlow State Chair man Elkln, while predicting a Kepubl enn plurality of 1SO.O00 In Pennsylvania, tills jear, sajs ho does not expect to poll more than CO per cent, of the vote cast one year ago. Wo date bay Mr. Elkin'sestlmato Is correct; but if voters everywhere would stop to think, there would be not month no 40 per cent, wtay-at-liomo element, and no 20 per cent. Now and then you hero a man say: "O, it's only a local fight, nothing na tional imolved. I guess I'll not both er about this off-year campaign." Lot us examine this statement. The plur alities for McKlnloy and sound money last year wete large, generally the lar gest on rccntd. The country accepted them as decisive. Confidence re turned. Mills reopened. Factoiies re sumed. Interest rates relaxed. Iiank clearings increased. All over the coun try, In every locality and throughout every Industry, times began to mend nnd the outlook to appear brighter. In short, the predicted results of Re publican restoration began to show themselves more quickly, plainly nnd generously even than Republicans themselves had dared to expect. How would it look, then, with McKlnloy In augurated only last March, to icturn In November a voto Indicative of non appreciation of his splendid work? In all fairness, would It bo decent? llut that Is not all. You don't hear nf th'o Bryanltcs threatening to staj away from the polls. Why? Because they dare not. It is life or death with the Bryan party now. Two consccutlv c defeats like that of a year ago would end Bryanism for all time. It could never survive tho shock. The sound money wing of tho Democratic party would resume control of the party or ganization and tho men like Fltzslm mons, Boland, Bailey, ct. al., In out own county, who wore Instrumental last year In switching the party over to the revolutionary leadership and purposes of tho Chicago convention would find themselves left in tho cold, baflled conspirators out of a job. Hence none of these men will abstain net month from voting. On tho contrary iry one of them will work from now on with desperation. They will poll as nearly as possible tho full Bryan stiength; and if any considerable num ber of anti-Bryan voters of last yeat fall to vote this year as they voted then, these Bryan lieutenants will par ade the fact as a Bryan victory and will use it aa a leverage In tho larger tlections to come. Moie than that; an apparent reduc tion next month of tho substantial sound money pluralities of one year ago would havo an Immediately liuit ful Influence upon business, Introduc ing again tho element of doubt ns to tho stability of our financial system which last year, under tho excitement of Bryan'T revolutionary canvass, op erated bo disastrously. Wo aro con vinced that the Intelligent voters of Lackawanna county do not wish to ap pear ungrateful for the good results already achieved as a consequence of tlio llcpubllcan victory of 1S9G, nor do they dealt o to embarrass the achieve ment ot still greater results; but so far us thalr influence goes they will do both unless they stmd by tho Republican party with the same decision nnd en ergy net month that they exhibited a twelve-month ago. This fall is the time to give Bryanism its death blow. TlicParty-Afrald-oMts-Platform. Attentive readers of the Scranton Times havo doubtless noticed that in Its Issues of the past few days allus ions to Bryan and the Chicago plat form, heretofore plentiful and ardent, have been carefully suppressed. In tho speech of Colonel ritzslmmons opening tho Schadt-IIorn campaign at Carbondalo tho other night the chair man of that campaign also took great pains to cork up his habitual enthusi asm for tho candidate and issues of his party last year, and made a strenu ous effort to Impress upon his hearers that tho present contest has to do v holly with local issues. Wo tjuoto from tho authorized text of his re marks as printed In last night's Times: This campaign Is purely local. No na tional governmental policy Is Involved. Tlio votcis of Lackawanna can neither Ktrongthcn tho arm a of Spanish troop nor satlBfy tho aplratlonn of Cuban In surgents. They cannot restoro tho dusky queen to tho Hawaiian tluono; change tho monotary system of tho nation; formulate a new tariff, nor abrldo or cnlargo tho provisions of tho Monroe doctrine, Tlio man or party that trios to conduct tho present campaign In this county on na tlonal Issues underrates tho intelligence and Intuitu tho manhood of tho voters of young, promising and majesllo Lacka wanna, This, mind you, notwithstanding the fact that at the very outset of the platform adopted last August, the De mocracy of Lackawanna, with Colonel Fltzsimmons presiding, raid conspicu ous and fulsome compliment to Bryan and Hryanlsm, and took especial pains to endorse "FULLY AND WITHOUT RESERVE" the erratic and dangcious Chicago platform. Then the free sll verltcs In tho convention whooped It up like fury; hut now, not two months later, poor Uryan Is abruptly thrust Into the background, the popullstlo ex uberance of our esteemed contempor aries, tho editors of tho Tlntcs and tho Sunday News, Is rudely choked off nnd word has been passed along tho line at tho comma'nd of Mr. Scliadt, tho man who pays tho freight, to say noth ing about national issues. Contrast this cowntillcc, voters of Locknwannn, with the attitude of the Itcpubllcatt candidates. Not a man of them Ib nslmmed of tho national prin ciples of his party ns enunciated at St. Louis and put into execution by "Wlt llam McKlnloy nnd a Republican house of representatives at Washington, There Isn't n. syllable In that platform which Isn't cood doctrlno to aflltm ccryvheto and always. No apolo gizing for, no hying- to get away from that declaiatlon of policy; no hiding behind manufactured local Issues that mean nothing except as pretexts for empty rhetoric! No twisting, no trim ming, no squirming; no carrying water on both shoulders! Ovcrconfldenco and Indifference when applied to Republicans are synonymous terms. True Republicans nro indiffer ent only when they mistakenly believe Hint they are going- to have a walk ocr. In the present campaign the free sller Democracy has banked Its hopes on catching tho Republicans nap ping. Tho latter should take warn ing In time. m A Call for Fair Play. Once In a whllo you come across a Republican who, when nsked concern ing his attitude in the present cam paign, will answer that while ho recog nizes tho peisonal woith of tho Repub lican candidates this fall and admits that no better ticket has ever Iveon nominated In Lackawanna county, ho dors not intend to support It because he Is opposed to some Individual not on the ticket but believed by him to have an Interest In its election. How unfair this is! Such Republi cans would punish Pryor, Jones, Cope land, Lnngstaff and tlw remainder of the paity candidates nnd would do what thev could to turn tho county government over to the Democracy, thus strengthening It for further mls-chlef-making In national campaigns, because of a personal antagonism to some poison not now a candidate and therefore not properly to bo considered at this time. They would lnjute the party, perhaps cripple It for years to come, In order to strike at a particular Individual. Such nn altitude Is not ci editable to those who assume It. If there Is any pei son connected with the Republican oi sranizatlon in Lackawanna against w horn nn element in the party has an especial bitterness, tho time to show this In when that person comes directly befoio th" peopl in his own name and right as a candidate for olllco. Then will bo the time to auneh him nnd pound him and maul h'im as much us It i an Such a process of direct attack, made openly nnd above board, would not cauj innocent men to suffer nor put in Jeopardy ths collective Interests ot tho Republican party. T.et Republicans 'n this matter play fair. And above all, If they be loyal to their party and solicitous for its welfare, let then not by tho gratifica tion of an untimely prejudice, put In peril the tntlro party's tuture. Henry George says the fight In New loik Is between him and Low. Henry G jorgo also said a year ago that Bryan would bo elected president. Piophecy is not Heniy's strong point. Sustain the Admin'stratlon ! The letter of Secretary Bliss indors ing unieservedly tho candidacy of Geneial Tracy In New York .shows officially tho wishes of the McKinley administration In that ns in other con tests directed by Democrats nnd inde pendents against the vitality of the Republican party. There aio paits of that letter us applicable to the fight In Lackawanna countv ns to tho cam paign In New York. Wo quote: 'Now, when the Republican party Is menaced by some of those who have heietoforo stood In tho front tanks, It heems piopcr that every voter who Is lojal to the principles of his party should let It be known In no uncertnln way where he stands. Tho contest of 1690 has been renewed all over the country, and It Is Inconceivable to one absent from the scene of contest that thero can be even a suspicion that a majority of tho three million and more inhabitants of tho New York-that-ls-to-be can, with tho George and Tam many parties, each, in its own way, stihlng for tho teversal of tho ver dict given by New York on the great Issues then presented to the American people, dellberntely sut render, upon tho specious plea of non-partisanship, all that was then gained. It Is Im possible that tho people of New York havo so soon forgotten the danger that menaced them only a shoit year ago, and aro now ptepared to make such surrender chiellv to gratify tho am bitions of a few men, who are irrecon cilably opposed to the Republican party, whatever its position, and to send out to tho states that are fight ing again tho same battle which they waged a year ago, tho message that New York has no further Interest lr. tho cause which was gained by such a magnificent concerted effort. If, after tho -lctory of Gettysburg, the Union army had Incontinently taken to Its heels and left tho remnants of tho Confederate army 'a freo road to Washington, It would have been a parallel case." Substitute In the foregoing the words "Lackawanna county" in place of "New York," and In tho place of tho Georgo and Tammany parties say tho Schadt-IIorn freo silver party and tho small party of local bolters who aro In tho field Jn tho former's Inter est, and the language used by Presi dent McKlnley.s secretary of tho In terior will fit exactly tho situation now presented In the present campaign Jn this countv. True, tho consequences of a Republican reverse in Lackawan na next month would not be so far reaching as would those of a similar reverse In greater New York; but the;r would helo In their smaller way to swell the hopes of llryan and tho Bry nnltcs, and be part of the lost ground wMch Republicanism In Its futuro bat. tics would havo to rccapturo or else go down In national defeat. There Is ono clear duty resting upon tho shoulders of nil true friends of good government, hero and elsewhere, and thnt Is to stand by tho cntlro Ho publican ticket and thus voto to sus tain the national administration. Suppo- that If, during the late war, every oltlcer who didn't get promoted when ho wanted to had bolted tho regular army and set up ti guerilla dynasty of his own, where would the Union cause have landcd7 Th'o princi ple Is the same In politics. Politics Is war. The Last Legislature. Attention Is Invited to an article on pnqe 2 reviewing in part tho record of the recent legislature and exposing tho falsity of much of tlio accusation which has been put before tho public ntjnlnst that session. Tho facts thero presented speak for themselves and require no additional comment. They show that In what the legislature did for tho l'ibor Interests of tho com monwealth It went far beyond the rec ord of preceding sessions and fairly cained the gratitude of every working man within the limits of Its Jur'sdic tlon. That the legislature was unfortunate In many of its characteristics wo do not assume to deny. Tho factional spirit engendeied by the bcnatorial contrt remained to plngue it through out the whole subsequent course of its deliberations; subjects which should have been approached solely on their meilts were viewed suspiciously as it containing political dynamite, and as a relief fiom tho strain of watchlinr evorv move of the different factional lenders In tlu cxpctatlon that some eve was about to be blackened, the leg islature during the forepart of Its ses sion frittered away much valuable time. These things aro not disputed. They Indicate a condition which was d plorable, but natural; a condition which would, however, have ptevalled und r any state leadership, and under any patty control. The legislature may fairly bo ciittcised for Its sklttlshness, for its restlessness, for its unrespon siveness to wise and prudent counsel nnd for Its rebelliousness against lead ership; but wh'en these things are s-aid of It, Justice demands, that they shall not bo followed up with a miscellan eous lot of false accusations put out for unworthy purposes. Its faults wero not the faults of deliberate unscrupu lousness; they were not the faults of thieves and boodlers and robbers; they wcio tho faults of a collectively hon est and high-minded body of men who simply had the misfortune to do busi ness under circumstances which in the main weio sadly against them. Wo make bold to assert that the same men it called into session at a different time, when they should not be put by clicumstances oer tlu crat er of a oleano of factionalism threat ening at any moment to burst forth liuo eruptions of "caudal, innuendo and vlttipeiation, would gle tho state an avetago of service sueh as would cause their session to hi referred to as a model legislatuic. This assertion Is bas.ed on the testimony of fair-minded observers of all party and factional atllllatlons who sav that in point of honesty conscientiousness and ability the personnel of the latJ session stood far above the average, and would have so appeared to tho people but for the ieason3 which wo havo pointed out. Wo don't know that so far ns tho futuro Is concerned It makes much difference whether this legislature Is defended or ni't. It has passed into history and its successor will bo elect ed ot new issues. But it Is well as a matter of disinterested fairness that the public should bo put In possession of the real truth In tho premises, and wo believe that we have stated It above. Hero Is n bit of solid truth from one of General Tiacy's speeches In New York that should be studied carefully by eveiy Republican voter: "Organi zation Is just as essential to a political paity as It is to an army. You can no more fight a i olitlcal battle with free men arrayed against each other, with out organization, w Ithout discipline, than you can fight a battle; and you might Just as well think of appoint ing a committee of citizens to com mand nn army or to run ono of the great steamhlps across th'o ocean as to appoint a committee to organlzo and run a. political campaign. Discip line nnd association, acquaintance, trust In each other, confidence In each other, are essential to all great move ments. You must Know and trust your comrades, and that comes from asso ciation In political organizations." This is a tlmo for loyal Republicanism 'everywhere to assert lt3elf. We wonder If Dr. Hugh Pltcalrn, now holding a consulship in Germany through appointment by President Mc Kinley, agrees with tho Altoona Trib une, of which paper he is part propri etor, in Its belief that to seek federal office except tluough the channels of the civil seivlco commission Is a crime, that the office seeker Is natural ly a "spoilsman," nnd therefore no pa triot. What a pity It was that th'o Now Yoik Journal didn't think early enough In tho game to kidnap Weylor.

Few peoplo will bcllova that Republi canism has sunk to low In Lackawanna that moro than four-fifths of tho delegates in -a county convention yloW to bribery and corruption. It Is assumed that tho object of theso charges la to damago tho prospects of John R. Jones, the nomlnoo for district attorney, by tho3o who foiled to defeat him In tho convention. If that bo tho echemo It will not bo likely to suc ceed. Ha Is now filling that olllco ami Is admittedly the most efficient district at torney Lackawanna, county has over had. Three years ago Mr. Jones defeated Mr, WnUon by only a few votes In tho con vention; this year ho defeated b,lm by a voto of moro than ton to one. And yet Mr, "Watson Is not satisfied. President's UieW of the Low Campaign Prom tho Washington Star. It is understood that tho nttltudo of tho administration toward tho Now York city campaign Jias ohnnged elnco tho lines havo been sharply drawn. At tho outset tho administration declined to toko sides, and Mr. McKlnloy entertained a feeling per sonally friendly to Mr. Low, bo much so that ho would have felt tho nomination of Mr. Low by tho regular Republlcun or ganization to bo entirely Justified on tho grounds of Jils Republicanism. As tho situation has developed now, it is fuly understood that tho president regards It as tho duty of lov al Republicans to support tho regular Republican nominee. Tho ut tltmloof Mr. Low and hit frlciuH Is looKcd upon as hostile to tlio llcpubllcan party nnd directly to tho advantage of Tam many or Henry Gcoigelsm. o Wlhllo tho president wl!l contlnuo silent on tho subject, ways will bo found to show whero the sympathy of tho admin istration rest;, Tho prcsenco of Senators Thurston nnd Poraker In Now York, speaking for General Tracy, may, fairly be Interpreted as an expression on tho part of tho administration which tho New York Republicans nro expected, to under stand, and other evidences of sympathy with Mr, Tracy's candidacy will bo given as tho campaign progresses. Both Sena tor Poraker nnd Senator Thurston had a long tnlk with tho president beforo going to Now York, and tho vigorous manner In which they addri6jcd tho Now York Re publicans may bo regarded as significant. Tho direct attacks of tho Piatt people on Low aro significant, too, of tho fact that It hns been determined to lino Republicans up for tho regular ticket, nnd to regard as enemies to the Republican party all who support Mr, Low's candidacy. Tho statement by Mr. Trnoy, In his speech In Brooklyn that Mr. Low was responslblo for tho defeat of James G. Blalno by Mr. Cleveland In 185-1, by his falluio to uso his Intluenco as a clllrun In Brooklyn for tho Republican presidential candidate. Is In line with the policy of impeaching Mr. Low's Republicanism. No excuso is to bo left for Republicans to givo their support to Mr. Low on tho ground that Tio Is "as good a Republican as Mr. Tracy." o-i-Llttlo doubt Is left that tho administra tion ls1n sympathy with this idea of draw. Ing party lines tightly, and that men who support Sir. Low will thereby forfeit all claims upon tho Republican party. Strong Republican partisans of national reputa tatlon will como to Mr. Trucy's support, and Mr. Low Is expected to ba attacked as great an enemy of tho Republican p-irty ns is Mr. Crokcr. Tho position Is taken by tho Republican national leaders that Mr Low's candidacy Is n survival and nn attempt at tho rehabilitation of tho old mugwump movement, which was respon sible for tho regime of Clevelandlsm. A WORD OF ADVICE Republicans who aro faithful In co called oft years aro tho ones whoso fealty to party counts. Let all such bestir themselves now. A LIVELY TOWN. Trom tho Chicago Record. Thero aio more than 1,000 porsons run ning for clectlvo otllces in Ui eater Now Yoik. In tho 1,622 election districts thero aro probably 2;,000 men who aro devoting their tlmo exclusively to politics. If eaon party that Is In tho field had a candidate for each otllco to bo filled there would bo almost 1.C00 candidates running, but as tomo parties Indorso tho candidates of other parties tho total number cannot bo computed at present. So far thero aro heven candidates lot first mar of Great er New York. Tho Republican party, Tamany Hall, Mo Demociatle party, tho Citizens' union, tho Prohibitionists, the Socialist labor party and tho "no ten, no tiger" paity has each its candidate. Theio would be eight candidates, but tho Popu lists havo Indorsed Henry Georgo. Kach of these pit ties, too, has candidates for the municipal council, tho board of alder men, assembly, for Justices of municipal dlstilct courts and ot tho Supremo court, for comptroller, for sheriffs, county clerks, registers, district attorneys', coroners In four counties nnd borough presidents In each of the fivo boroughs. Thero are twen-ty-nlno councllmen to bo elected, Includ ing tho president of tho council, and an average of tcven candidates for cada place. Thero aro tho avcrago of candi dates for tho slxty-ono aldermanlc berths and tho fifty-nine assembly Jobs. Thero aro seven candidates for comptroller, thir ty candidates for sheriff, county clerk, icglster and district attorney, about as many men running for justices of tho Su pruiio'couit, and thero aro seventy or soventy-llvo men who aro trying to get themselves elected justices of the munici pal district courts. Thero aro somo eighty candidates for coroner in tho greater city and about thlrty-fivo candidates for bor ough presidents. AN KXCULLr.NT CANDIDATE. rrom tho Catbondalo Leader. Tho position ot treasurer of such a populous county as Lackawanna is ono of tho most important and responsible with in tho gift of ths people. In the past tho office In this county has been most ad mirably filled by men of highest standing In tho community and tho tax payers aro to bo congratulated on the excellent material they havo placed in tho othce. Again this fall docs tho Republican party placo beforo tho people for their suffrages a man without a blemish and who In busi ness and personal Integrity is a worthy successor to Hon. J. H. Van Bergen and tho other well known personages upon whom tho incumbency of tho office has devolved. Thero aro many good and sufficient rea-f-ons why Wlillom S. Langstaff should ho elected county treasurer and on the evening of Nov. 2 It will, without doubt, bo found that ho lias received a largo majority of tho otcs cast. Ho has had a goodly experlenco In public affairs and In w natever capacity placed has shown him self an ablo administrator. As member nt various times ot tho school and poor boards of Scranton lio has distinguished himself by his executive ability and pro gressiva spirit. Mr. EangstafC's natural qualities well fit him for tho otllco for which ho has been nominated by tho Re publican party this fall, and tho tax pay ers will do credit to themselves by honor ing him with their votes on election day for county treasurer. lUi:SU.MTUOUS AND KIDICULOUS Wllkes-Barro News-Dealer (Dem ).
