publican speakers' committee, re
ceived word yesterday morning from

cure Hugh Gordon Miller, the wonder
ful young Vliglnla political orator, to
speak last night In Weit Scranton.
It was explained that he had en
gagements to make four speeches In
West Virginia this week, but Major
Penman says the real reason was th'i
fact that the state conimitte wanted
him to speak last night in Philadel
phia. Atter a deal of hustling, h"
managed to secure Hon. Gnlusha. A.
Grow to address the meeting.

Another rousing: demonstration and
mass meeting was held In West Scran

The parade was somewhat curtailed

WHY HE WILL VOTE FOR McKlNLEY.

4- B. T. Jnyne, president of Scranton board of control, a leader
"" nmogn the young Republicans of the county, 'whose conscientious
T and non-partisan work on the board of control has won for him the
4. confidence of all our citizens gives the following reasons why he will
-4- vote for McKinley:
4- "The founders of this republic expected that there would always
be selected for the presidency the man best qualified for that office
. and for the vice presidency the man next best qualified. In my
judgment William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt are the two
citizens of the United States who best meet the test of superior qual-
ifications.
"In addition to their personal merit they are the unanimous
4- choice of the great Republican party and stand squarely on the
4- party plaform which declares for protection to American industries,
honest money and national honor. For the same reasons I heartily
. support our nominee for congress, Hon William Connell.
"Four years ago many men who disagreed with the po-
- litical views of Mr. Bryan gave him credit with being sincere in
" his convictions. Now as he goes about over this prosperous country
T with his gospel of hate and envy, arraying neighbor against neigh
.4. bor, the workman against his employer, the loafers against the in-
dustrious, and artfully dodging every issue of national importance,
I cannot see how he can be considered other than a demagogue and
as such would be least dangerous in private life."
to an audience that filled the hall to
the doors.
The parade formed at Main and Di
vision street and t'he line of march wns
up Main avenue to Jackson street, to
Hyde P.tik avenue, to Division street,
to Main avenue, to West Lackawanna

Chief Marshal Frank B. Reese headed
the procession, mounted on a hand
some horse, and following- him were the
Nay Aug drum corps.
The West Side Central Republican
club, attlied in their Rough Rider unl-
iorms and carrying red, white and
blue globed lanterns came next, and
they marched with soldierly bearing
and precision of step. The Swedish
Citizens' club followed in large num
bers, carrying torches and transpar
encies, svenner's band headed a dele
gation from the Union league and tho
T. J. Reynolds Republican club of the
Fifteenth ward. The latter were at

Mr. Thomas then Introduced Hon.

candidate for nny office In nny stale of tlieso
United Stale.s nnd I wish j on would remember
that one faior desert pi another. ,
Theio are three siibjrcti whleli In the admin
istration of government are constantly leglslit'.d
upon more or lesj by the party In power and
the modo In ttlilcli Ihesp subjects are to be legis
lated upon Is nltta.ts laid down In the plait 11 in
of each pollllial parly. The questions I rei'e.1
to are inonpj, the tailll and tcullorlal expan
sion. It matters not what Indltlduils sty, the
pollllcnt paity in power It bound In honor to
act upon thi'iic questions In the manner deter
mined lu its platform.
I shall take but little time with the money
4- 44- f f
question. The Democratic platform dcclaies fo."
fiee siher, but I saj to joii that the Ameilcan
people would netei hate IipjmI of free silver as
an Ksiie if then- were no siller mines. The
ownns of the -ilier mines oiiginated the fi o
silier idea and the -.wnlk.ite of -liter mine
owners is the biggest tm-t In these Culled
States except the .Standanl Oil and the Sugar
trusts.
Wl1.1l is money? Money is si.iucthin; which is
Usui to faiilitate the etclnnge of commodities.
It may be gold, siher 01 paper. Paper, h.iw

ledinipiion is what the papei piomi-e i)s it
shall be.
This 'SJO gold piece which I hold in my hand
is good for 4jo the woild oier. If I should take
this silver dollar ninth I hold in my other hand
and go into N'eiv Mexico tilth it I could buy 11
dollai's worth of goods and leceite 51) cents
change. Why is this? It's because this couutiy
his pa id .1 law that that dnll.u is ledeeinahle
in gold. That's the gold standanl. It's the
pledge of the nation to icdcem cieiv cloll.11 in
gold.
The Mexican gowmuieiit doesn't pledge itself
to iidciin its ilollais in gold. 11 allows it to
stum! on its 01111 matkei: talue aud that's about

take away this pledge and leave it alone to
ttand on Its own market talue? It's ttoilh
about 43 cents and it has on one side, "In tlod
We Tui-r." If this pledge were taken away we
would ceilainly hate to tiust in (iod for the

What would this nie.iu to the merchant in this

Chauncey pepevv once intercd an liuaue asy
lum and saw .1 lunatic pounding away on a
bed aa It hu was riding a horse. "Tint's a line
liorsu .sou've. got," said thauncet, "Tliai'a not
a horse," f.dd ilia lunatic, "that's a hobby."
"Well, what's tlio eminences" said Ml. D
pew, "Will," icplled the lunatic, "If .1 man Is
lidiiur a horse he can get otf." That's the way
ttllh Mr. Hijan If he 1'ved to I13 as old us
Melhusaleh he would still be tiding Ids fiee

will liatu all (he leisure time he winN to ilde
it till iluonisdav.
At this point Mr. Groiv gav a brief
resume ' of tho Republican policy of
protection and high tariff, exploding
logically tho Democratic thoury of free
trade nnd direct taxation. 'The
Democratic party," said h, "stands
for freo trade, free silver and free
soup." Ho" then took up tho question
of expansion and said:
You I1.1t a now the question of lculinrl.il ex
pansion before )oii. We. liavn extended our (er,
litory into far-off Asia as thu tesult of a, jut

Who will tell 1119 that the question of llheity
aud humanity is a question of latitude and lon

GRIEVANCES TO
BE DISCUSSED
OTHER GENERAL DEMANDS THE
MINERS PROPOSE TO MAKE.
Will Ask for Semt-Monthly Pays
and Permission to Maintain a
Check Docking Boss at Each Col

Resume Local Difficulties at Arch

Not Yet Adjusted Mitchell in
Archbftld nnd Carbondale.
Much speculation Is rife as to what
the miners propose to demand fur
ther from the operators when they
come to present the "minor griev
ances" which the operators agreed to
take up after the men returned to
work.
District President T. D. Nichols was
Interviewed on the matter yesterday
and stated that as far ns this district
Is concerned only two additional gen
eral demands are to lie made, a com
pliance with the semi-monthly pay
law and the malntalnance of it check
Welshman or check docking boss at
each colliery. Some other local de
mands may ho mndo by men at dif
ferent collieries, but what these nro
Mr. Nichols had no opportunity as
yet to learn.
Tho miners themselves will pay the
wages of the chock Welshman or
check docking boss. The former Is to
be stationed at collieries which pay
by the ion and the latter where pay
ment Is made by the car. His duty
will he to see to It that the minor
gets a just allowance for the coal sent
up. At present the miner has rto pro
tection against Injustice that might
be practiced by a docking boss who Is
dishonest or over-zealous In the com
pany's interests. Hy having a repre
sjntatlvo of the miners present at tho
weighing or dumping of the coal this
Injustice would be checked.
TIIR CHECKMAN.
What the operators will do about
the checkman xenialns to be seen, but
in the matter of semi-monthly pays
they have no choice but to accede If
the men make the demand. One oper
ator who was spoken to yesterday said
the only objection the operators will
have to the semi-monthly pay Is that
It means two periods of past-pay-day-ldleness
a month Instead of one.
It also causes inconvenience by rea
son of the fact that some of the men
do not want their pay oftener than
once a month and do not come In foi
It except on the first pay-day. At one
of his collieries some years ago the
men went on strike for the restoration
of the monthly pay-day, he said.
All the Ontario and Western col
lieries, Including the Mt. Pleasant,
started up yesterday, and now the only
mines remaining idle are the two of
the Forest Mining company at Arch
bald, the Green Ridge Coal company's
slope, at Johnson's Patch, and the
Clark Tunnel company's small opening
at the "Notch."
Negotiations for a settlement of the
difficulties which prevent a resumption
of work at these places are going on
nnd It Is confidently expected that by
the first of the month the men will
be once more at work.
AT GREEN RIDGE.
At the Gteen Ridge colliery the
tiouble grows out of the enmloves In
sisting upon having the company make
the advance in wages by reducing
powder to $1.."0 per keg and adding two
and one-half cents to the car. The com
pany did not Join with the other oper
ators In reaching this agreement and
does not propose to be bound by It. The
company is willing to pay a ten per
cent, advance in wages, as the miners'
convention demanded, but it Is opposed
to paving it on 7','-2Vi basis.
At the Clark Tunnel the men object
to working under a boss named George
Speeder, who they claim does not deal
fairly with them.
The trouble at Archbald is that the
company has failed to adjust the griev
ance which was mainly the cause of
their going on strike originally, seven
months ago. This grievance Is the
measurement of the ton. For years it
has been fixed at 3,240 Bounds. The
men want It cut down to 2.800 pounds.
The company claims It can not get a
ton of coal out of 2,800 pounds of the
material the miners send up, and re
fuses to make the cut.
Tho men also object to the company
giving one man or firm a general con
tract for all pillar robbing, and want
that this work should be divided among
the regular force of miners. A check
wctghman is also Insisted upon.
HAD A CONFERENCE.
Yesterday morning Superintendent
Edward Jones had a conference with
a committee of the men nnd nt Its con
clusion asked them to put their de
mands In writing. It is understood he
will take them up with the company
and give the men nn answer In tho
course of a day or two,
