Pcranlon as Its nbidlnrr place for Tues
day. Wednesday and u p.tit of Thurs
clay. Wc ask thia for 11 number of ieaoiiH.
The chief one Is that United States
Henator John M. Thurston, of Nebi.is-
ha," w ho has consented to deliver a
'eulORy of ricsldent William McKIn

u(viirtorful ability ns an orator and tho
excellence of his theme, lo ho heard

. of his voice. Sciunton has hcaid with
VAjmpathotlo Interest and pleasure
pome of her dlHtlnqulshed local oratois

afford a chance to hear one of tho
finest and most effective oratois In the
world j a man who piesldcd over tlie
.national convention at which William
MoKlnley was first nominated for
president; who throughout Mr. Me
Klnley's tcun In the White Houso was
his fctauiit'h and zealous supporter;
nnd whoso fame ns an eloquent
Fpeakrr Is not Burpnssod by that of
any contemporary American.
Another leason why our citUens
should turn out Is that Scranton's nor
pltftllty Is at stake. This Is a state
convention comlnr; hero upon tlic rep
resentation that our city Is pic-cmlu-cut
