BUNCOEKS ABROAD: BEWARE I
It Is tho trick of the Bryanlzed De
mocracy this fall to mako lalso
charges asalnst Republican methods,
raise a big dust, hlro Republican mal
contents to organize Republican bolts
nnd then coax Individual Republicans
to desert their party on tho represen
tation that "party ties needn't count
for anything In nn off year." By this
trick, If it shall -work, tho Bryanltcs
will get a foothold for a hopeful fight
In national campaigns, and mako just
bo much more, troublo for McKlnley,
tho Republican congress and tho causa
of Found money.
You now boo through this trick. Arc
you going to let It work?
The Paramount Issue.
Wo repeat that the paramount Issue
of this campaign, so far ns Republi
cans are concerned, Is whether they
will stand by McKlnley and the Re
publican administration or by apathy,
carelessness or open revolt, contribute
to tho encouragement of Bryan and the
cohorts of free silver.
In politics ns In war It Is not Gettys
burg alone that count. If It had not
been for the many minor battles In
which organization of force?, strength
of unity under fire and confidence In
leadership were first made effective,
the embattled hosts of the Blue who
fought Leo to rebellion's turning point
at Cemetery Ridge in 'G3 would not
have crowned with gladness that soul
stlrrlng and forever memorable Fourth
of July. If it had not been for tho
same contributing elements or small
victories earned between his monu
mental achievements Grant at Vlcks
burg would not have had tho honor
almost simultaneously to chronicle se
cession's second death blow.
It is only a county ticket which Re
publicans are asked to elect next
month; yet it is a ticket whoso elec
tion or defeat will strengthen or
weaken the party's battle line. The
enemy are on the alert to seize the
smallest opportunity. A sheriff's ofllce
captured now means a congressman
to bo won next year; a congressman
won then would mean strength for
Bryan in his presidential campaign
two years later. There is no delimi
tation of the consequences. The one
result moans tho other, say what you
will.
Republicans have a majority in this
county nnd they can win if they will
try. Some may think it not worth
while to try this year; but those who
Bay this Ignore tho future. Party su
premacy is not a thing which can be
built up one day to. bo kicked over tho
next. Tho structure or party success
is not so elastic that it can be expanded
or contracted at will. Vantage ground
won must bo defended. Otherwise,
when greatly wanted, it cannot be had.
AVe appeal to loyal Republicans to
give more thoucht to party interests
and party welfare than to tho selfishly-prompted
misrepresentatlonsof mal
contents in the enemy's livery.
Does Mr. Schadt Indorse tho Chicago
platform or does he not? If elected
sheriff, would he use his office to help
on Bryanlsm in 1S9S and 1900 or would
lie not? This is tho paramount issue.
If Schadt were a manly candidate ho
would at once speak out.
Charles A. Dana,
It Is a coincidence that the two great
rst journalists of modern times, Gree
ley and Dana, were reared to fame in
one office. Tho former made history;
the latter moulded thought. Greeley's
grip was on politics. Polities was
Dana's weakest hold; but into most
of the other activities of his time ho
projected ideas which vitalized and in
some degree reconstructs American
progress.
There were few occasions when the
founder of tho Sun stood in touch with
his political surroundings; and a
curious intensity of personal prejudice
biased much of h'is discussion of his
contemporaries. But on tho other hand
nn other influence was half bo vital,
half so courageous, half so imperial
as his for Americanism, for optimism
in estimating Ameriean tendencies, and
for directness in processes of expres
sion. If Greeley dominated congresses
and cxpcutlves, then Dana surely dom
inated tho Journalism of his day, gave
principle and Impulse to its ways and
means, and reflected himself through
conscious or unconscious pupils upon
tho wholo circle of American thought.
A sen3j of loss at this man's death
will ba keenly experienced by millions
who wouU be perplexed if asked to give
specific reasons for It. Tim man him
nelf, as a man, was littlo known to
tho multitude. The man as reflected in
tho Sun was seldom winsome or ten
der, and was almost always hitting a
head or bruising a. folbte. And yet this
virile and uncompromising, this pug
nacious man is mourned, not laast by
many who had suffered under his ac
tive club.
Was it because he was undevlating
ly honest? Not alt will admit that.
Vib It becauso of suspected kindness
of heart beneath the oxUrior of wrath?
Not everylHidy ivv that Wo ciispect
that more th'an all else It was because
of his unquenchable Amerlcanlsm.hold
Ing always the (las the highest; and
then his quaint, nnd wh'olly Individual
sense of humor, that caused one often
to imagine tho sound of a chucklo back
of tho 'bitterest roast.
Tills murh at least Is certain; he
was tho most resourceful, tho most pe
culiar and yet withal th; most ndmlr
ablo and lnllttuntlal Journalist of his
age.
Let tis see, wasn't It this same Schadt
whom Kitzslmmons once scored so
viciously for his Ineffectual attempt to
stab Judgo Smith at tho AVIlllnmsport
convention in '93?
Fearless nnd Undismayed.
The Ingenious gentleman who con
tributes to tho fiction department of a
local contemporary over tho signature,
"Roderick Random," seeks la his latest
Imagining to make It appear that The
Tribune In tho present campaign Is
evading an Issue. Tho Issue which this
amiable romancer has in mind Is the
alleged corruption of Republican local
politics, a condition of such fancied
depravity that even his experienced
olfactories, seasoned to tho odor of
political rottenness In nn cnt when it
was no uncommon thing for ballot
boxes to bo stolen In dead ot night
from vaults In tho court house and re
turns altered to suit tho exigencies of
Democratic campaigning, now affect to
rebel in virtuous horror. Becauso wo
urge upon Republicans tho importance
of standing by their party while it is
under fire, Brother Random affects to
believe that we are affrighted nt his
phantom of the night and afraid to
call it down.
It is not so. The Republican party.wo
would have him to realize, Is In a posi
tion to take the aggressive on every
issue he may wish to Invoke. If ho
will present In specific form one fact
to uphold his resounding but empty
accusntlons touching tho methods of
the present Republican management in
Lackawanna we will agree to set be
side it two facts of equal deflnlteness
In specification arraigning those who
now cry corruption ns themselves
guilty or conniption twice ns foul as
any which they vaguely allege. More
than that, for every spot that ho can
show on tho record of Republican as
cendancy In Lackawanna county wo
hereby nsreo to disclose ten spots to
tho discredit of the domination which
preceded nnd which Random now seeks
to re-impose. We recognize that two
wrongs do not make one right; but wo
submit to practical men familiar with
the ways of the world that when in
politics nn absolutely vicious era is
replaced by one In which nominees are
worthy, methods fair and results hon
est and progressive, a gain is made for
good government not to be obscured
by the artful slanders of corruptionlsts
determined by any means to regain
power.
Tho Republican party docs not seek
to hide an act In its past actions or
a word In its present declaration of In
tentions. It Is not perfect nnd it does
not pretend to be; but in practical re
sults honestly won for good govern
ment in city, county, state and nation
It Is ready to stand comparison with
any party that ever lived; and it con
siders the calumnies of the enemy
In the present critical moment as most
gratifying evidence of its strength In
open battle and of its hold upon tho
public's confidence.
When Schadt declined to lift h'is hand
to help ex-Senator McDonald In the
city sollcltorship light, little did he re
alize what a barrier it would place in
his own race for tho sheriff's office.
A Question and an Answer.
A candid question merits a. candid an
swer. Saturday's Issue of tho daily
oracle of Bryanlsm In this city pro
pounded the following innulrv. to
which we hasten to app;nd our reply:
Does Tho Tribune consider tho gold
Democrats nrvl tho honest Republican
in Jiacicawannu county to bo fools and
foes of good government?
Most emphatically we do not, al
though If wo h'ad believed what tho
Scranton Times said about them in
the campaign of last fall and for
months subsequently wo should now
consider them even worse than fools
and foes; we should oven have to
consider them traitors. That paper,
during the period to which wo refer,
poured out upon the advocafs of
sound money In this county, Democrat
ic and Republican, the most vicious
and intemperate dally volleys of abuse
and vituperation ever put into tho
types of a political Journal edited with
a pretence to some lingering remnants
of decency and fairness. We hesitate
even now. when the passions of that
bitter canvass are in some degree abat
ed, to risk the revival of them which
would be assured were we to republish
our collection of tho epithets then em
ployed by the Times in characterizing
the patriotic citizens of this commu
nity who, stepping over party lines un
der the Impulse of a Mupcndous na
tional danger, cast their ballots for
McKlnley and honest money.
Toes of good government? When
everywhere among Judicious Americans
the action ot these Democratic patriots
of 1S9G Is yet receiving applauso and
Flncere3t commendation? What a fat
uous.what a supremely ridiculous ques
tion! But wo tan tell you what would
expose these pound money Democrats
to a chargj of folly. If, permitting
themselves In 1S97 to bo stampeded by
a "stop thief" cry set up by their un
scrupulous assailants of 1S9C, they
should now piny Into hands ever ready
to stab, vilify and betray them, thus
giving encouragement to the promised
renewal ot last year's battle against the
good faith nnd tho honesty or tho gov
ernment, then Indeed might these men
bo considered ns deficient In foresight,
unsophisticated, easily docrived and in
this sense foolish.
But we decline to lbellevo that these
friends of good government of a year
ngo will line up this year with those
whom thsy know by very recent nnd
painful experience to bo good govern
ment's most mendacious foes.
Says the Times: "Mr. Schadt -does
not buy his nominations." And
yet tho organ of the present Demo
cratic county chairman admitted tho
Sunday following tin Schadt conven
tion that the delegates who voted for
tho Schadt Plate were paid $15 apleca.
And yet It Is currently rumored that
Sohudt ha rteclarod his wllllngnMn to
spend halt ot Ills revenura aa county
treasurer; that Is to say, halt of moro
thnn $30,000, in his present campaign
for sheriff. This ta certainly a queer
kind of "purity In politics."
Tho Tl.,cs has no fear of what It has
wild within the pnst year about gold or ell'
ver, or about tho Democrats or Republi
cans who voted for McKlnley. It has
nothing to regret nnd nothing to tAko
back. Scranton Times.
Then you still consider every sound
money Democrat a "traitor," do you,
a "tool ot Wall street," a "minion of
tho sharks and shylocks of the relent
less money power"? You are yet of
tho opinion that they should be
"drummed out of tho Democratic
camp" nnd forced to mako their per
manent abode with tho "hirelings of
monopoly," aro you? You continue, do
you, to sanction tho knock down nnd
drag out discipline administered by
Gnrman nnd his Ilk at tho recent Bry
anlto stato convention at Reading?
Wo must confess, neighbor, that In
view of your presumption in assuming
to deliver these sound money Demo
crats over to Bailey, Boland nnd
Schadt, you havo a fine supply of
nerve.
Those who read the editorials In the
Scranton Times will observe that that
paper's anxiety Is directed chiefly to
tho election of Schadt for sheriff. Rea
son: Schadt has promised if elected to
give to the Times the pap of the sher
iff's office so that It may hereafter have
additional incentive to blackguard Re
publican candidates nnd preach tho In
sidious and dangerous demagoglsm ad
vocated by Bryan nnd the Chicago
platform. Sound money Democrats
who want to strengthen Bryanlsm nnd
generate now nbuso of themselves) in
the Bryanlte organ will therefore pro
ceed at onco to lino up for Sch'adt.
We are glad to hear that tho advance
sale of tickets to the concert to be
given in this city on Thursday evening
ns a testimonial to John T. Watklns,
tho popular baritone, has been encour
aging. For at least two reasons tho
attendance at this concert should bo
largo. Tho programme to be followed
Is nn Inviting one, both us to num
bers and as to interpreters. But more
than that, Mr. Watklns Is an nrtlst to
whom Scrnntonlans aro much indebted
and of whom they should be proud.
We wish him abundant success.
Saturday evenlng'senthuslastlc meet
ing at Carbondale, fully reported else
where, establishes the fact that tho
voters of the upper end are Interested
and alert. All that Is needed to insuro
two weeks from tomorrow a sweeping
Republican victory is to get tho people
fairly to understand the insidious pur
poses of the local agents of Bryanlsm
and free silver, who hope to steal a
victory behind tho cover of false rep
resentations and pretences.
Wo notice that several moro or less
esteemed contemporaries up and down
the valley have temporarily abandoned
tholr subsidized championship of th'o
Brynnlte county ticket to pitch into
Tho Tribune. They are welcome to do
this; it doesn't in tho least hurt The
Tribune. But will the cashier of tho
Sohadt campaign pay them their price
for such a begging of tie real Issue?
When In a city like New York on a
Saturday night, with the public up to
Its neck In business and politics, an
audience of 50,000 persons can bo gath
eied together on short notice to wel
come to liberty a Cuban refugee, es
caped from a Spanish prison, it indi
cates something which both at Wash
ington and Madrid had better be noted
with care.
Mr. Pryor has not yet denied tho charge
of attempted blackmail preferred by Mr.
Campbell. Scranton Times.
Mr. Lowry disposed of that in his
speech at Cnrbondalo Saturday night,
elsewhere reported. And that reminds
us that nothing has been heard In tho
way of denial from Mayor Bailey.
In the opinion of Tho Tribune tho presi
dent judge of Lackawanna county has no
regard for his integrity and Is an abettor
In a scheme to embarrass a Republican
candidate. Roland's Sunday World.
If you can show when and where The
Tribune said that, it will pay all your
debts.
If any expert ward worker doubts
tho statement of the Times that "this
Is a fight for honest methods," let him
proceed at onco to tho Schadt head
quarters and sample the contents of
the Bryanlto "bad." There's said to
bo upward of $23,000 on tap.
In Now York one of the Democratic
candidates is going about shouting:
"To hell with reform!" In Lackawan
na the Bryanlte bosses will not say
this until after election.
Duggan himself may bo lined up, for
policy's sake; but do you suppose Dug
gan's friends are going to wreck their
constitutions working for Mr. No-use-for-the-Irlsh
Schadt?
KIcct Pryor sheriff nnd he will not
feel too big to speak to you ns ho meets
you on tho street, after election.
A POLITICAL POINTER
If you Indorso tho frco trado and free
sllvcr Chicago platform a3 tho Lacka
wanna Democracy does, "fully and
without reserve," then work and vote
for Schadt, Horn, et. nl. If you be

Republicans Miisf
Btiry Bryanism
From tho Philadelphia Press.
Tho campaign In Pennsylvania is not a
very fast ono tils year. This Is largely
accounted for, doubtless, by tho fact that
It is conceded by tho opposition that tho
Republican candidates for auditor general
nnd stato ttcosurer will bo elected. Thero
is no real pretenso that any other result
Is possible. It Is only a question ot major
ity. Rut It Is worth whilo to sco that tho
majority is a declslvo one. There aro Re
publicans of tho most uncompromising
character who think tho majorities tho
party 1ms been getting for several years
nro much too large, belloving that tho
party management would bo of a higher
order and tho party greatly benefited In
many ways if success for tho ticket hod
to bo fought for with moro care. Thero
Is forco In this reasoning, nnd thero aro
very fow who do not regret that tho Dem
ocratic pnrty by utter lock of piinclplo
nnd steadfastness has got Itself Into such
a condition of demoralization that It Is
no longer a respectnblo opposition. It is
hardly to be tcgarded as a factor in tho
campaign, and thero is less interest in
tho movement of Us candidates than at
taches to tho dally goings on of tho sev
eral independent candidates.
Notwithstanding nil this tho attltudo ef
tho Pennsylvania Democrats a3 declared
by tho Reading convention Imposes upon
every Republican tho duty to do his port
In making tho Republican majority this
year as large as can be. Tho proceedings
of tho Reading convention aro notice thnt
Bryan Is Just as much a candidate for
president this year as ho was Inst, and
that Bryanlsm Is just ns much tho'issue.
Tho fact that Democrats1 very generally
nro now trying to run away from that is
sue doca not change tno fact. They load
ed tho platform with ail that was In
iquitous and they emphasized their pur
poso to tolerate nothing but Bryanlsm by
evicting 'Mr. Ilarrlty becauso ho would
not consent to charge tho principles ho
had held all his life. The test of Democ
racy In Pennsylvania U fidelity to Bry
anlsm, and that is all there Is to that.
o
It is ns desirable to bury this out ot
sight this year as It was last, ond wo
haven't tho least doubt It will bo so
burled. Much, rowever, is going to de
pend upon tho per cent, ot the total vote
polled.

UOJ1KZ O.V AUTONOJlt.
From His Latest Proclamation.
Wo offer to Cuba tho splendid spectacle
ot our unconquerable determination to
free her or die. Tho Spaniards are pre
paring thomsolvej for tho winter cum
palgn, and so arc we. Wo Jeslro to prove
that a political chango of cabinet in
Spam Is nothing to us, becauso we aro
not llqhtlng for Spanish political parties,
but for Cuba against Spain, Roforms,
autonomy, and all other shameful ar
rangements concoc ted among a dozen Cu
ban poltroons In Havana and tho now
Spanish cabinet will not inlluenco us In
tho least. Tho Spaniards may reward tho
treachery of a few Cubans with offices
and allego that tho Autonomists represent
tho Cuban people, but they know that
they aro lying. This revolution was not
mado by tho Autonomists of Havana, but
against their will. Therefore, what theso
allies of Spain may do now docs not
change tho situation In Cuba.
My words aro supported by tho example
of my wholo life. I havo devoted all my
exlstenco to tho freedom of Cuba, and I
havo never yielded to tho Spanish. Tho
eamo record Is that of all tho major g2n
crals in tho Culban army. On what can
bo grounded tho belief that, after twclvo
years of struggling against SpMn in tho
Held, and after our lifelong hatred of her,
wo aro going, at tho end of tho record of
which wo aro so proud, to enter upon das
tardly negotiations with our enemies? If
my history la not enough to convince all
that I will scornfully reject any propos
als which do not mean the freedom of
Cuba, I swear on tho sacred memory of
my son, assassinated by tho Spaniards
at Punta Brava, that I will dlo berore I
will surrender to Spain. My son's last
words wero for frco Cuba. I will not
cover my name with shamo after tho no
bio example ho has bequeathed to me.
Cubans! Hopo and courage! Spain rep
resents injustice and crime. If tho wholo
world conspires to help Spain, tho wholo
world will not win Cuba, Tho caus,o cf
Cuba Is tho causo of justlco and honor,
and God is with us!
A .MAN OF Till: PEOPLE.
Railway Employes' Journal.
Among tho many excellent candidates
nominated this year, thero Is non upon
either ticket who stands closer to tho peo
plo than does Ckirenco 13. Pryor, tho Re
publican candldato for sheriff. In spirit
ond In thought ho Is with, of and for the
people. Ho was born in Hanover town
ship, Luzerne county, April 1, IS 15. Ho be
gan llfo by running a mino engine, and
from his wages saved enough money to
pay for a courso at Lowell's Commercial
collcgo in Blnghamton, N. Y. Ho gradu
ated In ISOl and camo to Scranton, where
ho has resided for tho last thlrty-thieo
years. Mr. Pryor is tho present prothono
tary, and his record in that oilleo is ono
to bo proud of. A careful, courteous,
painstaking official, ho has given tho otllco
his personal attention, nnd by his kind
ness and readiness to do favors for oil
has won a warm spot In tho hearts of all
who havo had dealings with him. Never
rising abovo his position and always re
membering that tho people elect him, ho
is the ramo after election as before; t:o
matter when you meet him, ho is always
tho same. A good fellow by nature, It is
no effort for him to bo agreeable. Ho
stands beforo tho people asi righteous
citizen and an upright servant, against
whom even his political opponents can
say nothing. Never forgetting a friend,
forgiving his enemies, faithful in offlco
and upright in character, he asks your
support today for tho offlco of sheriff, nn
ofllco that iho possesses tho qualifications
to fill In every respect. Our odvlco to the
voters of Lackawanna county Is to vote
for Clarcnco E. Pryor.
A SPLENDID ItncOKI).
Hyde Park Courlcr-Progrcs3.
Tho stato of Pennsylvania has not l03t a
dollar since 1810 by reason of tho defnuit
or mismanagement of a state treasurer.
In the fifty-six years finco 1S10 tho state
has received in revenues $110,07i,9G1.73. and
has paid out In tho same period J107.1S1,
131.CS, without loss in tho treasury depart
ment. Total losses from nil sources since
1S10, $9,432.Cl-or tho twenty-threo ten
thousandths ot ono per centum. This loss
was occasioned by tho failure of a bank
mado a special depository under act
of assembly.
What financial Institution In this or any
other stato or country can show such n
minimum of loss In tho handling of such
a maximum sum of money? Is not this a
groat record? Is anything moro needed to
Inspire confidence in tho Republican par
ty? Tho stato nominees of the Republi
cans will continue this good work.
THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
Tho Democrats fc'japped tho wholo sound
money sentiment of tho party squarely
In tho faco at Reading, rejected all meth
oda looking to unity, and cannot now
command anything like harmonious ac
tion for tholr 'ticket. A largo number of
Democrats who usually voto at all elec
tions, will either refuso to voto at all, or
cast their ballot for Dr. Swallow by way
of general protest against the existing
rulo of tho party.
WHY, INDEED?
Hydo Park Courier-Progress.
It Is n notoworthy fact that tho Repub
lican officials of this county, finco Its cre
