"The blKRost political meeting Arch
lidlil ever lind" 1 the way everyone
referred to the RtltliorltiR which Inst
night greeted the llopubllcnn candi
dates nnil speakers nt I.tnde's hall.
Extra chairs were placed In the front
of the hall and in the aisles ami mam
lng up In the rear and along the walls
were fully four hundred who could not
he prolded with seatn. The attend
ance was far more than any one an
ticipated and what was still more sur
prising In the face of the fact that
Archbald Is the home of one of the
Dcmoetntlc candidates, a bib' percent
age of those present were men who are
generally Identified with the Demo
emtio party.
12ven Democratic otllce-holders and
cx-olllelals of that falthwcre not want
ing in the throng and their Joining in
the applauding of Republican speeches
betokened thnt they were not there
simply as curious spectators. The re
ception given Tommy Daniels was
another pleasant surprise, and if signs
nre not amiss his opponent is count-
. ing too much on his Archbald ncigh
V bors.
"n The meeting wns presided over by
' r-chbald's popular young citizen, At
torney C A. lintteiilierg, and he made
a model chairman, his prefatory speech
nnil introductions being very timely
and well put. The speakers were Hon.
John 11. Fair, District Attorney John
It. Jones, John 11. Hnrrls and Fred.
W. Fleitz. Hon. J. J. Snyder, of Le
high, who was expected to bo present,
telegraphed that he could not make
comu" tions, hut would be on hand to
morrow .
FAHIl SPOKK FIIlST.
Mr Farr was the first speaker nnd
for nearly an hour held the closest at
tention of his auditors, evoking at fre
quent Intervals ringing applause as lie
told In his convincing, argumentative
style of the proud history of the party
that saved the nation, then made It the
grandest country on the face of the
globe, and is now engaged in removing
from Its path of progress the obstacles
placed there by a blundering Democ
racy, w hlch a wise people In a moment
of thoughtlessnes permitted Itself to
experiment with. Ills sketch of the
Itepubllcan paity In the state of Penn
sylvania nnd his enumeration of the
deeds it has done in placing the grand
old Keystone commonwealth at the
head of the sisterhood of states were
among the best received things of the
evening.
In closing, JIr. Farr referred to the
local ticket, and addressing himself to
Republicans and the new and welcome
allies of the party of protection and
sound money, said: "Individually they
nre worthy of your support; the prin
ciples they represent command your
support." Tliis clever presentation of
the whole issue In a nutshell was re
ceived with evidences of the warmest
appreciation.
John It. Jones wns born In Archbald.
If anybody thought that his native
heath was not proud of him that body
should have been anywhere within a
quarter of a mile of Llnde's hall last
night when the popular son of the
upper valley made his appearance on
the platform. It was simply another
link In the chain of wildly enthusiastic
ovations that he has been meeting with
since he went out on the stump. Not
sntlsflcd with showing him by npplauso
of the most emphatic kind' that the
mudslinging of his opponents is hav
ing the opposite to its intended effect,
ninny of the audience, ns has been the
experience at all tho meetings, gives
more direct and unmistakable evidence
of its sentiments In this regard by
shouting out sueli exclamations as:
"Leave it to us, John;" "They can't
bent you," and the like.
Mr. Jones' manly refutation of the
base libels that his political enemies
have sijzcd upon ns tho only possible
means of defeating him was hardly
necessary in that meetingjudging from
tho demonstrations of confidence in Mr.
Jones and disgust nt the despicable
methods of his enemies.
ATTORNEY HARRIS' ADDRESS.
Attorney John M. Harris made his
first appearance as n speaker in tho
present campaign and as is his wont
he said some things nnd said them
well. "If there is a man with a griev
ance ncalnst any particular candidate
or some lender or some particular ac
tion of your pnrty you should not
throw away your party convictions to
satisfy that grievance. Men have come
to me and have said: 'John, get out
of the ranks; they have not treated
you right." They meant well, but they
simply don't understand. A man who
will sacrifice his party convictions to
vent some individual spite, falls short
of being wise. He hurts his party hut
little; ho Injures himself, If only In his
own self-regard, much. The man who
Is a partisan from selfish motives Is a
poor kind of a party man."
In speaking in a general way Mr.
Harris made a trite, comparison of the
Republican and Democratic parties) by
calling attention to the fnt that only
two important measures, -idvanoid by
Democracy, liavo ever been made a
part of our national policy the lessen
ing of the period of residence for nat
uralization from fourteen to five years
nnd the establishment of sub-treasuries.
The record of thr Republican
party, on the other hand, is a text
book of American history.
Mr. Fl'-ltz made tho closing speech
uimmlng up the local situation a-id
presenting each of the vaiinuj candi
dates In a brief personal e'khcc-Ii. The
cheering that followed tho mention if
Tommy Daniels' name wus second oniv
to that which the nudlenc gave- when
Mr. Jones' name was presented,
Mr. Fleltz told a good story lilustrn
tlvo if tho local Democrmy In this
campaign ns regards their action In the
matter of platform. It was about the
farmer who when ho saw his bull
tackling a railroad train shouted
''You'ns all right, Nero, I admire your
courage but your Judgment Isn't worth
a cues."
A DISPLAY OF KERVn.
Tho nerve of tho Dom w-ati in reiter
ating Its devotion to tho Chicago plat
form "fully and without reserve" was,
o Mr, Fleltz' way of thinking, cour
ageous to say the least, In face of tho
bu-ial which that' erf ed of "Ruin, Rev
olution and' Repudiation" received In
this county only InBt fall. That In one
of tho peculiar characteristics of the
Democratic party, he went on to nay.
Tho more they nro licked tho harder
they will light. Wie thought wo had
burled them beyond resurrection but
hero they nre up again like Danquo's
ghost. The next time we'll bury them
face downward and If they do dig their
way out they will land on the other
Aide of tho earth arid we, at least, will
be rid of them.
Mr. Fleltz .took occasion during bin
tcmarks to refer to the announcement
of n Democratic paper that ho had en
ilotsed one of the Democratic candi
dates nt a Republican meeting. "I
might have paid he was a good fellow"
snid Mr. Fleltz. "And possibly be Is
a good fellow ns the saying gotos.
There are a good mnny good fellows
In tho Democratic party. I ny this
'fully and without reserve' yet I hardly
think anyone will accuse me of endors
ing Democracy."
Another very successful meeting wns
held In Updike's hnll nt Simpson,
whero tho principal spenker wns K. E.
Robnlnnn. The ball was filled to over
flowing and tho audience whooped It
up In tho most enthusiastic manner
for the whole Republican ticket from
McCauley to "Wiggins. Joseph "Wcltz
was chairman of the evening.
RALLY IN MUDTOWN.
Spodlfnr Address n Gathering Large
ly of Foreign-Horn Element.
At no time or place during the pres
ent campaign have the orators of eith
er party faced a more orderly or Inter
ested audience than that which greet
ed W. Gaylord Thomas, John F.
Scraps, Milton W. Ixnvry nnd Joseph
Ortilno, an Italian, last night in Col
umbia, hall at "Mudtnvn." Old Forge.
For two hours over 200 laboring men
listened attentively to the speakers
with the plain purpose of obtaining
light on the main Issues of the present
canvass.
When It Is stnted that the foreign
element In the hnll Included Italians,
Hungarians, Polandcrs and AVelsh,
Irish nnd English born, nnd that the
meeting was described by those In a
position to know as being the most or
derly ever held in "Mudtown," the sat
isfaction with which the meeting was
reported to tho party managers mny
be appreciated. The gathering was
arranged by Executive Committeeman
Samuel Uroadhead, Jr., and the follow
ing district committeemen: William
Davis. First district: James Salmon,
Second district, and William Flaherty,
Foutth district.
Mr. Ilroadhead called the meeting to
order and Thomas Jones was chosen
permanent chairman.
CUE OF THE SPEAKERS.
It had been staled that tho men pres
ent, all citizens nnd voters, but many
not yet thoroughly familiar with the
principles and work of the two big par
tics, wanted to be informed particu
larly on Republicanism and Democra
cy. This desire wns tho cue of the
spaikers and when the meeting ended
tho three rousing cheers given for tho
Republican ticket from top to bottom
left no doubt In the minds of those
present that tho returns next Tuesday
night would show a big Republican
gain In that locality.
Tho vies presidents of the meeting
were: T. J. Stewait, John A. Wood,
Thomas Pickerel, William Menitt,
John Faraday, fir., George Jones,
James Calvert, Reese Willis Reese.John
Cooke, James Iell, Anson Van Cam
pen, Louis Clmlno, Anthony Ilurnetto,
James A. Salmon.
Mr. Thomas In tho course of his
speech related something told him
Tuesday night by a man 'at. one of the
Dellevuo Heights meeting. The man
worked In the mines and had been a
Democrat but said he proposed to vote
the straight Republlcnn ticket. Ho
wns asked his reasons nnd i plied:
"Hecauso It gives employment to my
three girls. They could never find
stendy work under a Democratic na
tional administration, but McKlnley,
protection and Republicanism liave
kept the silk mills and other factories
running over time, the mines have a
market for their conl and I'm going
to support tho party that .supports
me."
Tho weight of the argument, thought
Mr. Thomas, was partlculatly appli
cable to Scranton where there are 3,000
wotni'n steadily employed In mills and
factories according to figures obtained
from tho secretary of .the board of
trade.
A CLEAN CUT FIGHT.
Mr. Scragg convinced his hearers that
It was a clear cut fight between Re
publicans and Democrats, a thorough
ly partisan light, political principles
against political principles anil-riot, us
tho Democrats say, one set of indi
viduals against another set. Thd
nmuence, the speaker thought con
tained many men who chose the Unit
ed States as their jiresent homo bo
cause they could hero have a voice
In tho government. Naturally, they
would want to cast their Influence with
the better of the two parties strue-
gllng for control. Ho then cave a
truthful outlino of what Republican
ism has done toward good government
nnd prosperous times and pointed out
the wild theories of Clevelandlsm nnd
failures of tin Democracy.
He called tho attention of his bear
ers to the fact that tho recent con
vention which nominated the Demo
cratic county ticket had endoised the
St. Louis platform"fuIly and without
reserve" but realizing the mistake In
having done so, the Democratic orators
and candidates were now instructed to
say that national or party Issues cut
no figuro In the campaign.
Mr. Lowry Impressed tho gathering
with the truth that local politics cut
a momentus figure in state nnd natlon
nl nfi'ulrs. He cited Sherlft-aovernor-7'resldent
Cleveland ns nn example.
Schadt, the Democratic nominee for
sheriff, was through' the indifference
of his Republican opponent in a doubt
ful ward elected to common council,
and was elected county treasurer by
accident. Hla pressnt candidacy Is
directly traceable to his election to a
petty ward olllce. Vo'ers mlsht cast
a ballot hero and there out of compli
ment to a Democratic candidate or
through the solicitation of personal
friends and without thinking that
mnny other votes so cast could have
an effect on future state and national
administrations,
If the peopla wanted a continuation
of th9 prosperity boom of Republican
Ism, no carslesoness should bo shown
In supporting Republicans for the of
fices Identified with tho foundations of
state and national politics.
SPOKE OF THE CANDIDATES.
Each of tho speakers made reference
to tho Republican candidates and pre
sented their personal qualifications and
fitness for ofllce.
Joseph Ornlno, the Italian speaker,
talked In the mother tongue and dwelt
particularly on the principles of the
two big parties. Republicanism had
done evarthing to encourage the con
fidence and support of men who have
to do manual work for a llvlnr
Democracy had left undona a great
many thing, and that which it had
undertaken had failed.

'Aldcrmnn Kelly's Statement.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: On Oct. 1G last a warrant was Is
sued by mo on Information furnished by
John llarcen or (llartczln) for tho appre
hension ot John Duditch, whom, com
plainant states, left his house In tho night
time without paying his board bill or no
tifying him of his Intention to leave.
Prior to this, on Sept. 15, tho caso was
before me, when tho amount of Judgment
which I rendered wns paid over to com
plalnant, but he returned later and de
manded more, which I flatly refused and
consequently he Bworo out a warrant for
my arrest boforo AMerman John Howe,
requiring mo to appear at his olllco on tho
evening of Oct. 2. Ilusiiiuss of Impor
tance dctnlned mo until late. However,
when I reached Mr. Howe's office ho had
gone, but Constable Penman said the case
was postponed until tho following even
ing between fl and 7 o'clock.
I was on hand, a3 were all other partios
concerned, but notwithstanding tho fact
that I have documentary evidence to off
set tho charges prcfoired, Mr. Hotvo took
tho evldenco of tho complainant under
oath, but refused absolutely to hear my
evidence or even havo mo sworn, and
placed mo under J300 bail to appear before
criminal court, John J. Fahey, ex-sheriff,
qualifying ns my bondsman.
Ab I stated before, I have nmplo verbal
and documentary evidence to jiroVo my
self guiltless of tho charges brought
against me, nnd when Mr. Howe under
takes to deurlvo mo of my rights ns a
citizen (apurt from my official stunning
altogether) by refusing to have me swo,n,
and In spite of tho earnest appeal of my
attorney, W. W. Raylor, nnd of my own
earnest protestations, ho holds mo over
for a higher court, I think, and In fact I
know, It Is an act of Injustice, all tho
more so, emanating1 from a court of Jus
tice. John P. Kelly.
EXTENSIVE CAVE-IN
UP IN PROVIDENCE
All of (be Tuesday's Filling Settles Ten
Feet.
CAR TRACKS WERE UNDERMINED
And it Wns Necessary Last Night to
Transfer Passengers for Several
Hours nt Wood Struct-llrcul
Caused in tho Wntcr Mnln--Fouii-dnttons
ot Several Houses Wcro
Disturbed Cnpiug Hole 00 liy no
1'cct.
During yesterday there was more
caving on North Main avenue, nenr
Wood street. Enrly last evening tho
filling performed by tho street depart
ment on Tuesday had settled nnd there
appeared a huge hole sixty feet long by
thirty wide and ten deep. Street ear
trullle was impeded for several hours.
It being necessary to transfer passen
gers around the scene of tho trouble.
The wall In front ot Thomns Green's
bouse on North Main uvenue wns dis
turbed, nH were tho foundntlona of
Green's house nnd those of Peter
Serenl, John Tnfe nnd John Kurlluh.
Tho cave, which on Tuesday extended
to within two yards of tho street car
trnck.undermlned the track nt 7 o'clock
last eveninc and prevented tho pass
age of enrs.
A lnrgo force of laborers wns hurried
to the snot nnd ufter four hours of
filling nnd propping, succeeded in mak
ing tho track secure and nt 11.15 o'clock
tho enrs begun running. Mennwhlle,
passengers wore transferred afoot for
a hnlf block nt that point.
Tho settling of the eatth from be
neath the water main of the Provi
dence Gas and Wntcr company caused
a break In one ot tho Joints. There
was a big flow of water until a gate
above the break wns closed.
Lnto last night the "squeezing" had
nlmost censed. There was nn occa
sional evidence ot disturbance below
the surface and It Is not Improbable
thnt further trouble will be experi
enced in that vicinity today. The
"squeezing" is In the abandoned Rock
vein of the Von Storch mine.
STREET COMMISSIONER'S DUTY.
Ho Will Supervise tho Work or Re
pairing Asphalt Pavo.
There was lecentlv a difference of
opinion among city ofllclals as to
whether the street commissioner or the
city engineer should have supervision
of the Earlier company's work in re
iniring tho elly's asphnlt pavements,
according to the recent contract award
by councils. The point was sub
mitted to the city solicitor for an opin
ion and ho has replied us follows:
Mr. Joseph P. Phillips, City Engineer,
Scranton, Pa.
Dear fr'lr: Replying to your note of the
11th itutiint regarding repairs to asphalt
pave, would say that in my opinion tho
supervision ot this work Is within the de
partment ot the street commissioner and
should bo performed by him.
Yours vchy respectfully,
M. A. McGlnley, City Solicitor.
Street Commissioner Dunning pro
poses a reform In tho manner of super
vising the repair work. Heretofore It
has been customary for the repair con
tractors to relay certain Indicated
spots nnd to receive pay according to
measurements made aftfr tho work
was finished. In future the exact
yardage of repairs will be indicated
by the street commissioner for certain
locnllties before ,the work begins, nnd
for only thnt yardage will payment be
made.
Tho contract with tho Barber people,
while authorized by councils, has not
been signed, but this will probably bo
done today.
BOARD OF CHARITIES BENEFIT.
