A Confession of Defeat.
The Philadelphia 1'res-s estci lny
in luted n poll of the Mato which Kiive
Stono U.iiO pluiullty over JcnUs It
estimate- allows Stone HOfi.lOft, Jenks
"Sl.r.sO and Dr. Swallow lHO.OTS otes.
Inasmuch us the Pri'i-.s Im the chief or
pan of the Republican element which
is opposliiK Stone In this election Its
admission that lie Is likely to win Is
significant. Senator Kuuffinnn, Wurm
makex's light hand man, goes further
than the Press. He eMlnintes that
Stone will h.ne CO.UOO plarality.
The Press in Its table of county plur
alities makes some estimates which ate
nuloiloubly doUured. 1'or example, it
gives Stone only r.,000 plurality over
Jenks in Allegheny. Ewiyljody con-
errant with tho Bltmtlim in Alle
gheny, Stone's home county, knows
that his plurality is rea-onalily cer
tain not to fall below I'O.OOO and may
go to liO.OOO. At any event l.'.fiOO must
here be added to the Press' estimate of
Stone's vote In the state. Sitnllaily in
Philadelphia, the ote given to Stone
is nhsutdly low. The Press allows
Stone only Ku.iiOO plurality when it
knows that he is absolutely ceitaln of
f 0,000 and will be disappointed if he
does not gel 70,000. The Press' esti
mate of the Lackawanna oto is that
Stone and Swallow will each have S.000
with !i,f.00 for Jenks. Heie tin- Swal
low strength is put nt -.lie maximum
claim nfiMho Swallow letders; but '
Swallow gets C,mii) oles In this county
ho will do tar mote than any practical
obsmver now expects. The difference
between !.000 and fl.009 should be given
to Stone, who us the situation stands
today ought to have little dilllculty In
carrying Lackawanna by ,i)00 plural
ity at the very lowest.
The Puss table is full of similar in
aceuiaeies. Tor example, Luzeinc Is
given to Jenks by :',I00 and Schuylkill
to Jenks by 3,000, whin it Is patent to
oveiybody in these parts that Stone is
going to cany Luzerne and liu-ak al
most evin In Schulyklll. Again, the
Press gives Chester county to Swallow
by 1,500, when the Swallow managers
In Chester piaetleally concede It to
Stone. Its estimate that Stone will get
but 3,$00 votes In Blnlr against 4,700
for Jtnks and 0,500 for Swallow Is
manifestly absurd In view of the fact
that last iar, when Swallow carried
Rlulr. licacom, Rett., had n, lend of
nearly 1.D00 over Uiown. Deni., and
Stone Is fully ns strong today as Bea
com was then, If not stronger.
Reading between the lines of tho
Press' table it Is evident thnt the Wan
nmaUer people recognize the futility
of their attempt to destioy tho Repub
lican patty's ascendency in Pennsyl
vania und expect to see Stone ami tho
whole Republican ticket elected by
pluralities little If any smaller than
those of one year ago.
A vote for Judge Ounstcr hi a,ote
to icward ability, high eharncter and
absolute fairnc-s on the bench, ie
cardless of taction, creed or politics.
It Is u vote to lift tho bunch above
the turmoil of a partisan struggle for
fcpollK.
A High Dictate of Patriotism.
Wo reprint on this page today tw-o
stiong editorials, one from the Phila
delphia Ledger and tho other from tho
Philadelphia Press, hearing on the
commanding and urgent leusous why
the American people tomoirow should
uphold the government by rU cling u
safe Republican majority in cougtcss.
Thej Ledger nnd tho Press are leaders
among th state press In the light upon
Senator Quay, but unlike Mr. Wana
maker they regard It as practically lin
peiBtlvo that eveiy cltluen of Pennsyl.
vanlu who Is ttuo tn the uplcndld ad
ministration of William McKlnley mid
Intelligently loyal to the nation's high--nt
Interests durlntr the critical transi
tion period between war and peace
should vote the Republican ticket for
congressman ut least.
We reprint these strong cdltoilals nt
(his limn especially for tho benefit of
any reader of The Tribune who may
have decided ere this lo voto against
Ihe Republican candidate for governor.
Our own belief Is thut the same tea
souk which leqitlre n Republican niu
Joiity In eongtesH requhe also a Re
publican governor ami leglslnttiie, mid
that tho trui' fiiend of McKlnley will
not weaken him either at Washington

Intend to re-open the ciipo yuncernlng
the state ticket, let us Impiess upon
them that as Republicans and Amoti
on ns they do not forget both to vole
and to work for the preset vntlon of u
wot kins Republican majoilty In con
gress. It In important and essential
fat- above any question of personal likes
or dislikes; it Is. Indeed, a duty en
joined fo the highest patriotism.
Then Is no unceitulnty about what
Senator Vaughan ran do lor his dis
trict. Ho has demonstiateil his anil
ity nnd fidelity during four yeais of
admirable t.ervke. Ignore fitctloinil
bias and te-eleet him by n lousing
majotlty.
The Legislative Ticket.
The question ns to who "hall hi
elected nt Hanisburg this wlntir to
repiehent Pennsylvania In the United
States senate to succeed M. S. Quay
enteis Into the legislative light to this
extent. If by u-ason of Republican
defection to thlid parly nominees tho
liemocrats secure a majoilty on Joint
billed, Quay's stlcccsor will be a tiee
tiHer Demount. Rut If a safe Repub
lican majority is el?ctcd tomoriow, the
decision will ytlll be open between
Quay and some other Republican.
Theise Republicans who oppose Quav
can hardly want a free t liver Peinu
eiat to repieseiit Pennsylvania in the
senate. That would b" a most humil
iating spectacle. Think of the possi
bility! Two years ago Pennsylvania
ga'se SOO.OOO 'lipjoilly for McKlnley,
Piotecllon mid Sound Money. To turn
over In that bilef time and s"iid n
tree tllverlt to Vashlngtou would be
not only to shame the slate; It would
Inevitably iehe the slher movement
I'llu tlangcious itallty and Jeopaul
most unnecessaiily the piesldentlal
election In 1!M. If Pennsvlvatda, tho
back bone of Republicanism, could
thus iveirfj itselt, upon what states
could the Republican party depend"
Tl-e only way to aeit this misfor
tune is to elect the Republican legis
lative nominees. Make ceitaln, tomor
iow, that tl-e next leglslatuio will bj
Republican on Joint ballot, and the
name of its choice for senator can be
dolei mined nfteiwurd. Lackawuuu.i

compete with Cioker and Guffey and

An addiess has been Issued to tho
oters of Pennsylvania over the signa
tures of several hundred leading busi
ness men of Philadelphia and imme
diate Iclnlty which cuts to the heart
of the Issue to be decided tomotrow at
the polls. The address says:
"The undersigned Arms and business
men of Philadelphia and vicinity view
with grao nppiehension the mixed
condition of polities existing within tin
state and the thieatened danger to
their business Intel ests glowing out of
tho possibility of the elee Hon of a
Democratic governor (and through that
the control of the leglsla'.uie, thereby
leading to the election of a Domociatle
United States senator), together with
gain;; of Dumocr. tie congressmen in
thib and other states, thus jenp.ndlz
Ing the continued control of the house
of lepresentatlves by the Republicans,
and theieby threatening a leveisal of
Republican policy as to the taillf and
curiency questions, the mete agitation
of which would lead to the supcn
slon of business ielul for which the
whole countiy has been anxiously look
ing and hoping I'jr over live years
past. Recognizing the necessity tor
the control ot theso questions In the
hands of the Republican patty u
hereby announce our heaity allegiance
to the Republican state ticket, headed
by Colonel William A. Stone for gov
ernor, and declaie our Intention to sup
port him by our votes and Inlluencc,
and call upon our fellow business men
lu all parts of the state to use their
influence In the same dliection, thus
assutlng the concentration of the- Re
publican vote, the sure election of thut
ticket and the con-ervlng of our busi
ness intciests loi the futuie, by a con
tinuation of ''ie Republican policy as
expressed In Hie admlnlsttnllon ot
President Me K-nlev."
The toiegoii.g does not oveistato tho
gravity of the interests nt stake; and
Ub aiguinents apply with redouble"!
force to the i lection In this dlslilet ot

Roosevelt's Chances.
Th moat Interesting political battlo
of iccciit yems will tome to an end
in New oik .slate today and -he re.
suit bo known juobably by h o'clock
toinonnw evening, it Is a light veiy
lurgely of organlzuion igalnst senti
ment and of money against piniclple,
and Its ouUDiue is bound to exerchio
an Impoitant Influence upon tho future
ot Ameilcan politics for many yeais
to conic.
Theodore Roosevelt, repiesenting'
nbnolute honesty and fearlessness in
public life, was nominated on the Re
publican ticket tor f.overnor of New
York against the opposition or Hie
present slcto administration und
without sincere support by the party
organization. Ho has against him not
only the open antagonism of Tam
many, now In undisputed control of
fireatcr New Yc-ik, with unlimited
campaign money und almost unlimited
power to corrupt electhm noauls and
falsify tetuins; but also the sectet
opjiosllion 0 inrBH interest.! which
recognize that they could not "handl"
him. It is on off year, Republicans
were upathctle, the peoplo were angry
over alleged mismanagement In the
war department and disposed to pullt,
nnd niaiij of the nioto prominent Mug
wumps, Ji-nlotin of RooHovelt'a popular
ity, nominated n ticket aralnst him,
yet Roosevelt plunged Into the canvasp
nnd by sheer foico of will and power
ful persoiialltv haii aroused the whole
coitnti b.v his Mondcrfttl fight.
The mills nppaiontly are against
him. Not counting the abnormal elec
tions of 1MJ nnd it9(!, New- York stnte
In the past font teen years on state
elections has been Democratic by 40,000
on the uverage; even In presidential
yeaiu it luui been cairled an equal
number of times by each party. This
year, too, In addition to the powerful
opposition of Tammany, Roosevelt is
eonftonte-d by a sraiulal In tho man
agement of Hie cat-als which grves
treacherous Republicans mi excui'e to
make- deals with CroUer and timid
ones a thane e to go Into hiding. Ho
linn had to make Ids campaign almost
ulone; the loyalty ot tho Republican
organization to him has been question
ed anel It does not frceni to bo doing
a gu-.it deal to checkmate Tammany.
Yet In spite of all these obstacles and
ciub.Miassments the conviction Is
growing that Roosevelt Is to ho elected
tomorrow by virtue of nn uprising ot
honorable and decent men v Ithout re
gal d to polities.
It should be so.
Let no Republican tomorrow vote in
n way that would gratify Spain.

Stone, 450000.

The Democrat who fays tlvire are
no national Issues Involved In thU
election knows that he says what Is
not so. lie knows that Jenku was
nominated at Altoona because he was
a Bryan man white Judge Ooidon was
licked because he- wouldn't tell how
he voted In '96. Ho knows that Jenks'
election would be followed by shouts
of gie.it joy in eveiy Bryan camp In
tho country mid that the Scranton

would be the Hist to claim Jenks' elec
tion a national 'vicloty for free sliver.
