While nothing can he said at this late moment which Ik likely to change u vole it is not out of place to mmr every Re publican before whom there words may ionic to so lo the polls to-day and vote the Republican ticket. This applies an well to Republicans who me unfriendly to M. S. Quay as to those who rue ttdinlteis of him. The Interests of the Uepublicun party are Miperlor to the inteieiUs of any Individual. A ote lor the Republican ticket Is n vote for the Republican party, which as u patty, lesarclless of any indhldual, is worthy of confidence and continued suppotl. Quarrels with Individuals should not be fought at the expense of the party. Time will bring- abundant oppoitunltv to settle such quarrels without Injury to the party as a whole. The Republican stale and county ticket contains no unworthy names. All the men on it aio good Republicans and good men. They have conducted a lean nnd honmable campaign: they have not ic".oited to personal abuse or to ml.srepiesentntlon or false state ment. Fiom Colonel Stone down, each candidate on the Republican ticket has behaved as a coiuUentlous and self tespecting gentleman. Whatever abus ing has been done, whatever misiepro sentatlon unci fain- statement has been made, has come from othets. The Re publican nominees cmerjro from an actld contest absolutely unspotted. The Republican state ticket wilt be elected. Even Its opponents concede this. It will be elected legatdless of the ote cut in Lackawanna county. The Republican In this county who votes against It will accomplish noth ing, so tar af tlie state at huge is con cerned. He will simply weaken his patty loeallv and make more difficult the election In thefutuicof local tickets. Is it vvoith while to do iliis? Is theio any possible gain sufficient to counter balance such a loss? A vote, nhould not be tin own awuy because of per sonal feellns. Tt should be cast for party supremacy, for the supremacy of party principles: time and place will oifer for the administration of discip line to Individuals, Let leji'on and good Judgment pie- all to-day; let them bo a uniform Republican victory. m - .

This In the lino of tactics they are puisulng now with legal d to Pennsylvania. They uay: "Sec: here, dear, good Republl ana, we know that Pennsylvania la ti very important n-tnte and a strong hold of Republicanism, but observe that wo are talking' about local Issues only; we aio making no attack on the grc-at principles ot Republicanism.

Whut would be thought of tt gennnl ttho would hand over the Htrongest position on his lino of defenses to the etiomy mi their promise that they only wanted It temponully; Unlosi he could successfully plead Insanity ho would be shot or hanged for tieason. Are Republicans goltii to be io callow minded us to take stock In any such gold brick promises by the Deniociats'' Uo they ically believe that they have laid aside all guile, that they ate not wotklng for the national control, and that this sudden mealy-mouthed ot tempt to persuade Republicans that Republicanism nnd the national wel fare have nothing to do with thH bat tle nil arises finm pure goodness of heurt? If the Times knows the Re publicans of this slate, and it thinks It does, they will talco no slock In such transparent nonsense, but will stand to their guns and meet the enemy whenever and wherever he appears Pittsburg Times. And It is piobabio that "hi;? majori ties" Chow will be hoard from tivday also. Treaty-Making Takes Time. The complaint which Is heaid In some quarters because peace negotiations at Paris cue not terminated off-hand rests upon Ignorance of historical precedents as well as upon ttnfninlllatlty with diplomatic Hadltlons, which we as well as Spain ate bound to observe. It Is iccalled by the Philadelphia Press that Yoiktown hui rendered in our Revolutionary war Oct, 17, 17S1, and with this defeat both sides accepted peace as ccitnln., Just ns both parties to the ptesent war accepted the sur lender of Santiago as of like signifi cance, yet the prellminailes ot the tieuty of pence, ot ptotocol, weie not signed until Nov. SO, 1 7S2, and the treaty Itself was not ratllled until Apiil fi, 17S!, a lapse of eighteen months tiom the deciding defeat. In the war of 1812 the Uiumble came into Annapolis with peace ovosluies Jan. C, 1S1I, the peace commissioners met at Ghent Aug.

SOME SIDE ISSUES. From tho Philadelphia Press. In nearly every election there are u number ot side Issues, Impoitnnt locally In themselves, but which are lost fight of In tho wlili 1 und clatter of the enm P.ilgn, Most ol them nro in tho shape ol constitutional amendments which nre to be submitted lo a. vote of the people, but concerning which not ono man In tin knows anything ubout before he goes to tho pullr. Public attention la usually eente.ril on some leading issue, rt'itu or national, ai.d everything else is pu!icd to the tear. -O' This yeat thcto are a Uriyo number of fuch questions to bo voted on nnd their adoption or rejection Is a matter ot local Interest For initanco: Rhode Island will voto on the udoptlon ot nn entirely row constitution which hnti been framed for that state unci which makes Important changes In Its fundamental law. It abolishes annual elections, sub stituting biennial elections, does away with doublo legislative sessions, estab lishes an educational qualification for voters, gives tho governor tho veto power nnd makes a mujotlty of the votes police! Miftlclmt for tho adoption of a new con stitution or nn amendment, tho require ment now being a three-fifths vote, tt will be seen thnt the new constitution Is a modern Instrument differing In many Wavs from the present antiquated consti tution. And yet notwithstanding the Im portant changes that will be made If the vote is approve, the matter Is receiving loss attention than the election of a town constable usually docs. - -o: Rut the most interesting eouslltuiloli.il amendments to be voted on are pi ndliig In western states. In two of them. South Dakota and Washington, tiniale ruffiago propositions aro before the peo ple for adoption or rejection. Woman suffrage prevailed for somo years :n Washington when It was n. terrltoty, but when lis stato constitution was voted on a separate proposition giving the b'lllot to women whs submitted and rejected. The prT-pect of tho present amendment tie not vr iv clcir. In South Dakota, however, the udoptlon of the amendment appears probable. This state will iln vole on an amendment ropeallng the clause in tic constitution prohibiting the pinr.ul.ie tin. ..ml sale of Intoxicants and stihstlttitln , in lis plueo a sjstem much on the dlspens.ii plan no.y In force in Sotrh Carolina. An other proposed ami ndnn nt In the same stato provides that v hen 5 t r nut. of the votcis petltlor lor a law on any subject tho legislature shall frame surii a law und submit It to the velers ,u the next election. :o- In Not tli Dakota the voters win sti what they think of an amendment es tabllshhif. nn celucntlon il qualification for voting and whether the legislituro shall prcsciibe penalties lor lalln-j, neglecting or lefuMiig to vote at any gonci al election. The Minnesota, bal lots will decide whether a pioposul amendment mrst have only a m.ijoilf of tlm voto east for that ainenelnicnt or a majority of nil the votes cast at that election, and In Iowe the question of an Increase In the size of the Uglslature Is before tho pecple. Calltornl.i, how ever, has the largest number of consti tutional amendnierts pioposed of 'iny slate. Thero nio seven of them, but onir one Is of general intcieM it s designed to prevent hasty legislation nnd divides tho session Into two periods, the first of which lasts fir twenty-live days and durirg which new- bills can bo Introduced. Then a rtccss of from thlity to thirty-six days is taken when the legislature comes togethei again and votes on tho bills. Rut duung tins latter session no new bills can be in troduced without tho cons, nt of thiec fourths of the mcmbeis. .0. Tho single tax question will lome be fore the pcoplo of Washington and Cali fornia but in el-fforent wavs. In the termer state a ce nstltutlon il aiiiendmtiit will bei submitted permitting municipali ties to decide by vote what class or class es of property shall be taxed lor munici pal purposes. Hut In California the qucs tlon of a single tax Is presented in the ic'coid of the Democratic candidate foi governor, who is nn advocate of that form of taxation and has made speeches in congress and at home in Its favor. It will need much studv and attention on the pnrt of the voters of all these slates to decide tho many questions submitted to them Intelligently. AS TO NATIONAL ISSUES. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. " Tho Denioc ints of Pennsylvania, to serve their own purposes, have rclruinl Horn talking upon national Issues, but tho fact that they have done so for tho mere sake of misleading Is no proof that these issues ate not paramount. If onlv loeal question me at stake, then why did tho Deinoci.itl lonventien .it Altounn refuse to accept a candidate In tho person of Judge' Ciorelcn. who could not or v.oulJ not say that he hnd voted lor liryan.' Why was it necis,uy to leject him ami name as a candidate a rank disciple ot Wllllim Jennings Rrjan, who, In the tie, son of Mr. Jenks, stumped tho woit tor Uryanlsm In Its moat pronounced toim? and why did they find It necessary, ur thcrmore, to place in their platform the plank which fully ipdorsul the platform upon which Bryan stood? LOOK AETEK CONGRESS. From tho Philadelphia Inquirer. Only twenty-eight cl anges are neces sarv to kivo tho house ol lepiCM'iitntlves to the Democrats. Ir party strife, such as we havo going through, the danger Is not conincil solely to the governorship, but uffee ts the party all jjoi.r the llne jii is1), when l'uttlson was elected governor, ten eongieslonal districts weie given to the Demouats.
