COLONEL STONE'S PLATFOBM.
It will be my purpose when rlocti'il to
BO ctmeluct nil'Si If as to win tho rej.i ':t
nnil uood will of thop who have opposed
me as well an t1iosi! who have Riven mo
their Huppoit. I Miull ho the governor
of the whole people of the Mate. AIiiixpm
have undoubtedly grown up In the legis
lature which are neither the fault of one
party nor the oilier, but rather the
crowth of custom. I'nneconMiry Invos-ti-KutlotiB
luie been nuthoilzed by commit
tees, resulting In unnecessary expense to
the state. It will be my caro nml pur
pose to correct these and other evils In to
far ns 1 have the power. It will be my
purpos-o while governor of Pennsylvania,
ns It lias bfen my purpose In the public.
Jiosltons that I lmve held, with Cod's
help, to dlscharpe my wholo duty. The
people) are smitcr than tho parties to
wh'eh they lielonir. 1 am only Jealous of
their faor. 1 shall only attempt to win
their npproval and my experience has
taught me that that can best he done by
tin hone.-t, modest, dally dlsehargo of
public duly.
If Mr. "Wannmakor loes not Unow
what Ills ncentii did with that money
In the senntorlnl fight of two years
ngo lie can 11 ml out by reading the
SchuylktU court records.
A Magnificent Reception.
In thlr. alleged hot bed of party revo
lution which street gwslp claims for
Dr. Swallow by all kinds and sizes of
majorities; here where the fighting par
son lived for a time and has many rela
tives and friends in addition to the
frantic hell) of certain disappointed
Republican otlice seekers now looking
for revenge, the welcome last night
given to Colonel Stone talcs tin un
aspect of significance. The K publican
nominee had no fierce leputation as n
lire-eater to help him draw a crowd:
tho people who went to hear him knew
In advance that they were not going
'to hear anybody personally assailed,
ridiculed or tlayed alive; on the con
trary the advance notices of this polit
ical engagement eschewed entirely ad
jectives In the superlative degree, ap
pealing simply to party loyalty and
plain common sense; yet the assem
blage that greeted him was one of the
most representative, intelligent and
cordial that we have, seen in Seranton,
nnd It was not disappointed.
Tho favorable impression created by
Colonel Stone upon the occasion of his
former brief visit was deepeneil and
strengthened. His frank, manly way;
Ills avoidance of any attempt to Juggle
with his audience or to affect qualities
nnd accomplishments which lie docs
not possess; In short, bis perfect can
dor gained recognition almost Imme
diately and commanded admiration
even from opponents. Ills abstention
from personalities; bis desire to treat
fairly all men, even those who speak
HI of him nnd raise malicious ques
tions as to his Independence and sin
cerity; his direct pledge to be an ex
ecutive who would strive to grow in
creasingly popular .and respected from
the moment of his Inauguration all
these features were perceived nnd ap
preciated by the Immense audience,
nnd the pith of a long story is thai
Colonel Stone this morning deim-ts
from Lackawanna county In far better
stnndlng among its citizens than he
hnd twenty-four hours ngo. because
they have seen tho kind of man that he
is and taken an honest measure.
As for the other speakers of the
evening who will soon forget the up
lifting eloquence and direct, convincing
logic of Dr. fleed: the stirring oratory
of Mr. Schaeffer: the brilliant word
palntitig of silver-tongued Tom Slew
art, and the mellow wit of Major Mc
Dowell? These have to be- heard to
bo appreciated: the woids them
selves. In the coldness of type, hick
fire and emphasis and outpouring per
sonallty. Altogether It was a revival
meeting of stalwart Republicanism
which stirred to the depths the spirit
of party loyalty and should bear good
fruit at the polls next Tuesday.
Secretary of the Commonwealth Da
vid Martin predicts that Colonel Stone
will have l.W.OOO plurality. Mr. Martin
Is not given to Inflated prophecies.
Afraid of Its Past.
Says the Pittsburg Times: The very
fact that the Demncruts of Pennsyl
vania desire to Ignore National Issues
in this campaign ought to count agnlnn
them. It shows that they are ashamed
and afraid of their doctrines and want
to keep them In the background, while
nppeallng to the intelligent people of
Pennsylvania, who have so emphati
cally repudiated their heresies. "Oh!
no," they say, "no National Issues;
keep them In the background." That
will be the cry up to the day of the
election; but should the people of tho
state be foolish enough to listen to
such arguments and by reason thereof
Intrust them with power, the result, tho
morning after election, would become
the biggest kind of a National Istme. It
would be shouted froni Mulno to Call-
fornla tbnt the great Republican
Htrongliolrt of Pcnnnylvanla lind falter
ed In her nlleglnnce and hnd Joined
the Democratic column. Kvery Jackrab
,blt Btntestnnn In the wild and woolly
West would throw up his lint and pitch
In with renewed sent to whoop up the
free silver campaign of 1P00.
The cute Democratic (JrcekH who are
trying to nneak Into the Republican
Troy, concealed In the wooden horse of
statu Ismies, would drop that ut once
nnd shout themselves hoarse over the
great victory for cheap money. It
would have such an effect tbnt we
would In nil probability have to fight
tbnt light over again, to the great detri
ment of business and destruction of
conlldcnee. The moment It was an
nounced that Pennsylvania bad falter
ed In her allegiance on every market In
the world there would be a depreciation
of American securities.
National lssmes are ulso stnte Issues
nnd local Issues. Is not the question
whether our mills and factories shall
run or remain Idle n local Issue, and
it big and vital one? Isn't It it local
Issue whether our mechanics shall
pturve by the thousands or have full
employment and good wages? AVns It
state legislation tbnt produced the for
mer stnte of affairs in 1893, nnd was
It state legislation that reversed that
and gave us our present prosperity?
Are our memories so short that we can
not recall thew locnl Issues, which were
produced at Washington and not at
Ilnrrlsburg? In ignoring what they call
National Issues, the Democrats puss by
and attempt to cover up the stute is
sues which arc of the suprcmest Im
portance t the people of this common
wealth This is a nation: its life is a
national life, nnd the vital questions
which concern us nie not stopped by the
Imaginary lines which enclose the
states.
There are none to whom political cor
ruption appears so glaring as to the
man who has failed to get an oince.
The Challenge Accepted.
The effort of Mr. Wnnnmaker to
convey the Impression that he was an
invited guest of the city of Scranton
and that the propitetles of hospitality
wers outraged when this paper in
courteous terms expressed Its opinions
of his political policy, deceived no one.
Mr. Wanumaker Invited himself to
Scranton. The flrs-l Intimation of his
visit was embodied In n dispatch from
him to n local lieutenant Instructing
the latter to make arrangements for a
meeting. As early as last Friday It
was known to Wnnamaki r's local Inti
mates that the Philadelphia!! Wfis com
ing here to attack the Republlcnn nom
inee for congress; The Tribune edi
torial In Monday's K-siie was used by
him merely as a pretext.
Now that the leader of the revolu
tionary forces in Pennsylvania has
thrown aside the mask and declared
war as well upon the congressional as
upon tho state ticket, It behooves Re
publicans who are Republicans in
spirit and in principle; who believe In
sustaining the Republlcnn president in
his wai and reconstruction policies by
means of a Republican congress and
who arc not ready to sacrifice every
thing to an individual grievance, to
stand up and assert themselves. Such
nvn can enio nothing about Mr. Wan
nmnker's personalities. lie Is at lib
erty to hold what opinions he pleases
of Senator Quay, Mr. Council, Colonel
Stuie or any other Republican in pub
lic life, Hut it is now j-quurelv before
the voters of this congressional dis
trict whether they are willing to let
one man's bile cause the los of a Re
publican vote in congress.
The Issue thus raised Is plain, spe
cific nnd unavoidable. Mr. Wana-
maker by his course has forced a
show of hands. lie has put himself
against the Republican ticket from
top to bottom; against the piesldenl
through the eongres-smair against the
slate ticket, the legislative ticket and
the local ticket. He has challenged
friends and foes of the Republican
party alike to line up and lijtht tc a
decision. W bellow we can say for
the lo.nl Kcpuhll'Mns of this county,
anil for all citizens In svmpathy with
the present national administration,
that the challenge thus offered will bo
enthusiastically n'cepted.
Mr. .lenks says that If elected gover
nor he will "try to prevent" the use of
that Dpmncrnllc victory as a stimulus
to Democratic exertion In the presiden
tial contest two yeats hence. Wo can
not Imagine him trying bard enough
to sprain many tendons,
The Philippines.
it Is worthy of note that the proposi
tion to pay Spain a sum of money for
the Philippine islands has received us
yet no official indorsement. It has not
been udopted as the policy of the Mc
Klnley administration; It Is merely
newspaper guess-work.
In demanding the Philippines wu
have agreed to assume Mich part of
the debt as bus been contracted and
expended for honest Internal Improve
ment. This Is In accordance both with
precedent nnd with common fairness.
The man who deeds a, farm to a neigh
bor because he cannot manage it Is
entitled to receive credit for the Im
provements actually made by him. We
would Incur the charge of highway
robbery If we should take from Spain
without compensation not only what
she has forfeited by mlsgovernment
but also what she has accomplished
In the direction of civilization. It is
her civil work, not her good work,
which we must punish and rectify.
Whether there should also be pay
ment to Spain of an additional sum,
as a kind of penr offering, to partly
restore her good humor nnd poultice
the rough edges of her war wounds, Is
another matter, as yet held In abey
ance. Such a payment would be wholly
a matter of expodlency. Spain has no
right to demand It or expect It. It
would be merely n gratuity on the part
of t'nele Sam, to show that while he
fought with severity when goaded to
wnr In the Interest of humanity, ho
had no HI feelings afterward. This
matter, being largely sentimental, will
doubtless be decided by the president
In urcordnnce with the sentiment of
the country ns It shall hereafter be
made known to him.
There Is absolutely no occasion for
the scnsatlontM cry of protest which Is
being raised against "McKlnley's In
tending to buy Islands already ours by
right of conquest." McKlnley has not
announced any such purpose. Ills com
missioners nt Paris have not announced
such a purpose. It has been announced
only by the enemies of his administra
tion who seek to emburrass him by
electing a Democratic congress. Mc
Klnley will do what the sober nnd
thoughtful judgment of a majority of
his countrymen finally prompts him
to do. In other words, In the future
oh In the past he will do his duty.
It would be to Mr. 'Wanauiakcr's
credit If he would come out like a
mnn and say whom he Is for for gover
nor. The negative position Is not pop
ular with positive men.
Roosevelt Hakes Progret
Kncouraglng news comes from New
Yoik state. Everywhere within Its
borders Republicans are lining up.
Each day adds to Roosevelt's strength.
While 200 Republican orators are
aroiiFlng the people dally nnd nightly,
the organization, too, Is doing its part.
Warrants have been Issued for the ar
lest of 20,000 men fraudulently reclEt
eied by Tammany nnd these will be
served If the men show their faces at
the polls. Preparations of an effective
nature are being mnde to keep a watch
on Tammany election ofllcers nnd
especially upon the tally sheet. There
doubtless will bo much fraud at best,
but If reports can be trusted, perpetra
tion of It Is this year to be made un
usually dllllcult.
As the case stands, the best and
worst elements In our civil life are
now arrayed against each other In the
Empire state In practically unbroken
columns. Tammany Is fighting not so
much to save what she now possesses
as to gain the chance to rule nnd loot
a state. On the other hand, the sup
porters of Roosevelt are fighting not
only In behalf of clean Ideals and in
telligent government but ulso for self
preservation. They recognize that the
election of Van Wyck would anchor
Tammany Invulnerably In power for
years to come and they know that this
would mean favoritism in contracts,
franchise huckstering and the purchase
and sale of legislation nnd immunity
from prosecution to an unparalleled
degree. Knowing this, they are throw
ing themselves into the struggle with
an ardor hitherto undeveloped.
We do not minimize the difficulties
in front of Colonel Roosevelt when we
say that the chances are becoming
brighter for him to win another char
acteristic victory. He has to fear not
only Tammany hut every other polit
ical and commercial Influence which
would be inconvenienced by the pres
ence of an uncompromisingly honest
and courageous man In the executive
chair at Albany: yet the pluck, daring
and steadiness of his leadership are
Inspiring among the pt-uple the kind of
enthusiasm that wins; and If we re
sided in New York we should think
twice before wagering on Van Wyck.
Oovernor ltlatk. of New Yoik, has put
alde personal feeling and come out
in u manly fashion for his late com
petitor. Colonel Roosevelt. Uluik no
doubt has personal scores to settle with
some of the leaders of the Republican
party In New Yoik state; hut he recog
nizes that with the control of the next
eongiess u entitling In the balance it
Is no time for sulking over dhtippoint
ments. The spirit displayed by Uluel;
Is worthy of emulation In Pennsyl
vania. The English government lias evident
ly taken a hint from the example of
PieKdent McKlnley a few months ago.
While talking peace our English cous
ins are cleaning their big guns and
buying all the ammunition In sight.
It has been Intimated that it Is use
less to look for fair weather until the
peace Jubilee season Is over.

FIRELESS OAR STOVES.
Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Why I It that with millions of tons
of the finest coal In the world lying
around loose In this Wyoming valley, tlia
electric cars should be run with tireless
stoves In them? Are these lines of city
and HUliurbun cr.rs In league with the
doctors to suffuse the risk of pneumonia?
Having occuslon tu. go to some of tho
suburban towns last Friday nnd Saturday
and today I was obliged to ride In cars
In Scranton which went north and south
that were as chilly as refrigerator. Re
turning from these hips it was a positive
luxury and relief to take the steam rail
way trains. It Is a convenience often to
take un electric car but often a trip to
Plttston or to Jetmyn by trolley has to be
made In cars where tho coal stoves
are n delusion arid a snare. The
public cannot be blamed for pre
ferring the eteam cars so long us the
electrlo cars aro so wretchedly uncom
fortable. Tho scenery of this lovely Wy
oming valley ran best bo enjoyed by trol
ley, but one la sometimes obliged to
forego pleasure for rafety.

Pennsylvania Nou)
the Piuofal State.
From the Pittsburg ConimeivlaMlazctt?.
flN 1812 and again in ISM the Republicans
of Pennsylvania through apathy una
experiments vlth Democratic prom
ises permitted the stnte to go Demo
cratic and by po doing. In each in
stance, they encouraged the forces op
posed to Republicanism throughout tho
country to rally for tho presidential cam
palgn two years later. They did rally,
and they won In both Instances. Penn
sylvania did not lino up with them when
tho presidential contests came, hut by
going Democratic In the preceding state
campaigns It had placed every doubtful
state In tho Democratic column, und Its
own return to Its senses was too lntc to
counteract tho effect It had produced by
seeming to have turned Its back upon Re
publican principles,
It counted for nothing that It had not
done so, but had made tho mistake of
accepting the explanation that those
statu campaigns hnd no relation to na
tional affairs, and of Indulging In off-year
apathy and experiments. What was tho
result to the nation of the political chang
es for which Pennsylvania was thus so
responsible? Certainly the last period of
comnrclul nnd Industrial depression
closed manufacturing plants and general
cries of distress uro not so far back that
the memory of it nerds any refreshing.
Not until the election of a Republican ad
ministration and the beginning of the res
toration of Republican policies were as
sured did the country begin to emerge
from that period of depression. Arc there
any voters In Pennsylvania whose memo
lles are so short tbnt they do not confirm
tlieso statements?
;o'
Are any of them so shortsighted they
do not appreciate that the policies which
have been promoting the better conditions
should not bo handicapped, but should bo
strengthened and expanded? We do not
bellevo thero are. Those who need to
have their memories refreshed aro tho
ones who are. disposed to accept the argu
ment that these policies are not Involved
In the prcent campaign. They arc. It
Is the same free trade, cheap money De
mocracy that Is offering tills urgument
now that offered it with unfortunute
effectiveness In 1SS2 nnd In 1MI, and the
majority for the Republican ticket should
be large enough to demonstrate to tho
country that the voters of Pennsylvania
have lcarn-d enough from experience to
havo the right appreciation of that fact.
CtaSHJL AND WANAMAKER.
From the Scranton Truth.
The much-heralded John W.inamauer
unpacked his heart of bitterness at tli
Scranton armory last evening, making
our esteemed townsman. Hon. William
Council, the principal subject of ids at
tack. When it ci-ines to a question be
tween William Council and John Wnnn
maker the people of Lackawanna county
have no dltliculty in dec Ming wheie tliev
should stand. 1'ider the pretext that he
had been alms hI by Air. Conuell's news

ci.cked and primed for the occasion, ami
even if the Scianton Tiihuue had not
criticised lilm he would have cloaked his
assault under some equally plaiiidnle
pretext. It was Ingenious to pretend that
the attack on Mr. Council wan in the line
of a public duty, but It was notliiim of
tin sort.

When Mr. AVanninal er's ng-nt l.er

Stone or Jeliks will lie elected governor
