First District Primaries.
A LI, OP Till-: contestant." for the
Republican legislative noniliiu-
tlon In the First district were
bright and capable men, either
of whom, at Ilarrisliuru, would relied
credit on tho district and city. The
fact that the vote was so evenly div
ided jnovoi that each was popular and
establishes a potency In vote-jjeltlns
likely lo have future tests. lint we
think li Is tho judgment of tin.' ioiti-
inunlty. as It was of a majority of thf"
voteis of the district, that la Select
Councilman Oliver the most experienced
and the best fiualillcd man wa3 chosen.
Mr. Oliver understands parliamentary
practice, is familiar with how tilings
are done In legislative assemblies and
lias a Milllclont amount of natural
shrewdness nnd nulckness of wit to
gain a speedy insight into tho ways and
mean 4 uf successful representation of
his district and cty at Hanisburcy. The
fact that he was nominated without
pledges, is known to be personally Inde
pendent and not easily iniluenced
against the course of action thai he
believes is right and has the icspect
and. confidence of his nelghbois of all
parties assures Ills election by an old
time majority.
It Is pleasing to nottj that ilils spliited
canvass was fought out without per
sonal bitterness and thai it leaves no
ugly sores to heal. If this same spirit
sliull prevail during the convass for
comity nominations, there Is no reason
to doubt that with u popular nomina
tion at Ilarrisburg for the head of the
Ftato ticket the Republicans of I,ackn
wanna can iceover trom the iovei.se of
last fall and score another victory. It
has been plainly demonstrated in tho
past two years that it is easier for Re
publicans to fall asunder than to har
monize; but that only makes the need
of harmony the greater. Ve are en
couraged by the First district primar
ies to believe that in spite of natural
differences in preferences for the vari
ous nominations there is a growing wil
lingness to lot the feuds and differences
end when the piltnaries close. This Is
as It should be.
Thu riiiladelphla Press predicts that
fcHirhuni will throw the Philadelphia
.'"clegation to Judge Pennypacker,
piay's cousin. Why shouldn't Durham
.hrow it to himself'.'
Respectfully Dedicated to the
Philadelphia Press.
TUK KSTKI2.MKU Philadelphia
Prc-s is mistaken in t-nylng
that The Tribune expects
t'ongressiniin Sibley lo ic
celvc the Democratic nomination for
Rovernor. The problem of preventing a
denial of the right of the P.epublicau
jieoplp of Pennsylvania to name the Re
publican candidate for this oflico Is suf
Jlelently momentous Just now to leave
to us very little tlnio for Idle specula
tion as to what our Democratic friends
may do. The last thing we heard about
Congressman Sibley was that the Oli
vers of Pittslhivg weie trying to enlist
his Influence and means In a campaign
to head off the Increasing popularity of
John P. Klkln's candidacy in the north
western counties. The story went that
lip was lo lie one of a number of stool
pigeon candidates set up In various
localities throughout the state for tho
purpose of decoying delegates away
J'rVim the one candidate now In tho field
who lias any real hold upon party sen
tljnent. At the proper tlmo these decoy
candidates would bo withdrawn and
their hoaxed delegates turned over to
the boss. to do with as ho shall please.
s to the truth of this report in re
lation to Mr, Sibley we have no specific
hijowledBo of our own. Wo have reason
tojbellevo that It is, true as to a number
oPother artificial booms just now uhoot
ing up Into diminutive prominence in
counties where KlUln sentiment among
thp ,rapU anil Jlle causes the federal
nflJcfUiolding brigade seriously to con
nldet means of rlrcumventtntr It and
clljichlntr. their jobs. Mr, Sibley may be
anjl )ye truBt Is above Huch peanut poli
tics.' The frequent mention of his namo
as a possible or prospective candldato
in tlils capacity may be without ills
authority? A's we Uil at the beginning,
wo.Jip not profess to be able lo follow
with", any degree of accuracy the
peculiar 'political windings of the gentle
ronrf;fi'on Venango. They are In u class
apart. His changes are much too speedy
and bewildering to bo observed without
a sensation akin to dizziness, It would
constitute nq .ylqlfl't ?fral, ,unon; Bib
ley precedents were he onco more to
seek on tho Democratic Uckp .the full
lllment of ambitions not likely to bo
Kiatillcd on the Jtepubrfeau. itut as to
Si &;'-. .-. ih'V
this wo have neither prophesied nor
speculated. W'v have other aiut more
Impnrtnnt niatleis to enlist our Interest.
As will be seen from tho eittotatlon In
another column, the Philadelphia Press
illcclalms participation with the Oli
vets, Quay and others In the attempt to
name a high elective omclnl of Penn
sylvania without preliminary reference
to tho people. Tho Press Very disin
genuously, It pccins to us, says that this
cannot bo done. Yet wo have only to
turn to the files of tho Presn to discover
on thnt Journal's repealed testimony
that It lain been done and that the al
leged doing of It by the very politicians
with whom tho Press Is apparently now
In cordial fellowship constituted tho
chief reason why, for a season, tho
Press chose toovetstep tho lino of party
regularity In state nfl'alis and become
an "Insurgent" nnd a bolter.
Our contemporary, feigning Ignor
ance, wants to know what the present
fuss Is about, adding: "Arc not the
primaries going on just as they alwayn
lm'"',' Cannot the 'leading candidate'
win delegates Just as he has done'.'
Cannot the 'party preference' be ex
pressed, Just an It has boon?" It would
bo an affront to, the Press' intelligence
lo assume that it requires Information
mi theso points'. Its news columns
have answered every one of Its In
iiulrlca more eloquently than wo could
hope to. Hut for clearness' sake, and
In the Interest of public Instruction,
wc shall endeavor to set forth what wo
conceive lo be the exact facts In this
case, and rc-slutc candidly our own
opinion of them.
Tho russ Is about the cold-blooded at
tempt of Senator Quay lo put John I'.
Ulkln out of the race for governor,
after Mr. Klkiu had won delegates,
both by tho convention system and In
open primaries, In seventeen out of the
nineteen counties which had spoken up
to that time. Had Quay, at the be
ginning, given notice that he would op
pose Klkiu's candidacy, Instead of en
couraging It, Quay's subsequent action
would have afforded to Klkln's friends
no giound for complaint. They might
have thought 11 scant gratitude, In
view of what Klkln had done for Quay,
but It would at least have evoked no
fair charge of cruelty or uncalled-for
dissimulation. Quay, the samp as any
other Republican, bus thu right to
iavor or oppose any candidacy for pub
lic oflico. Unlike the Press in years
gone by, wo do not dispute that. Our ob
Jfction to Quay's course toward Klkln
Is, in the first place, thai under the cir
cumstances it is inhuman; and, second
ly, that, as we view the outlook, it is
politically uncalled for and full of
grave menace to the party's future.
Yes, indeed, the primaries arc going
on, and, as tho Luzerne re.uilt showed,
the people aic still with Klkln; but the
Philadelphia Press is not so Ignorant
of lite power of a federal ofliee-holding
machine a1 to believe that, with Quay
fighting Klkln and tying up delegates
by means of "favorite son" booms, used
wholly for local effrct. there is lieie
after to hr u fair and untranuneled ex
pression of party preference. If the
Press believes tills today, It has unbe
lieved wluu it used to proclaim. All
that the friends of John P. Klkln want,
and till.-; they have a right to demand,
is a free field and no faors; a fair
chance to let tho majority will of tho
Republican people of Pennsylvania
bring itself Into play by the open vot
ing of instructions' lo tho selected stale
delegates. If then their man Is out
voted, and It Is shown thai he Is not
tho people's choice, their acquiescence
will be Immediate and cheerful, and tho
effect upon the party will be without a
trace of injuriousness. Hut If the op
posite plan is persisted in; if a few
men, owning delegatus as trading
properties, under Instructions or mani
pulations of a dictatorial power, shall
force upon the Republican ticket a
nominee for governor whose creden
tials lack popular indoisemenl and rep
resent it stilling of the popular choice,
It will not matter that this man may,
in his personal record and public ante
cedents, bo above repioaeh; though he
were Charles Kmory Smith himself
and, as our readers know, there is no
man In Pennsylvania whom The
Tribune icspeels or admires more
highly yet would his certificate of
nomination hear the ineffaceable
atainp of an odious derivation and
there would, we believe, once moie
arise the danger which twice In lecent
years has swept this stalwart Repub
lican commonwealth away from her
traditional moorings.
By all the rules of political conduct
which it lias championed hi the past,
the Philadelphia Press, If sincere then,
ought now to be with The Tribune in
its tight for fair play in the Republican
canvass for governor. AVo regret that
It Is not. Nevertheless, tho fight will
go on. It is a light for principle, and,
while wu expect and Intend to win, wo
had rather bo defeated and go down
with uplifted colois, than to sen that
principle lull Into oblivion in Penn
sylvania. AVo trust that this makes our attl
tudo plain,
The president, mi AVubhlngton advices
Indicate, Intends to urge early consider
ation by thu senato of the Ihthmlan
canal question, Ho docs not believe that
tho difference between the Panama and
Nlcaiagua, routes is of enough Import
ance to warrant long delay in starting
the canal. This is emphatically the
opinion of tho country.
In the face of such winds as that of
yesterday It Is binall wonder that forest

of our wooded areas. Yet It would
seem that much more ought to be done
than has been done In Northeastern
Pennsylvania to check u wasto which
each year grows more appalling,
Mr. (U'vuii opposes tho acceptance by
the Nebraska stuto university of a gift
from Andrew Carnegie, claiming that it
is u attempt of the moneyed men to
control tho educational Institutions of
the country. AVe suppose that Mr.
Bryan's Commoner accepts no subscrip
tions from moneyed men.
Tho meat trust expresses, willingness
and pleasure to have tho government
investigate thoioughly before a com
petent tribunal the various charges and
countercharges concerning Its methods
of doing business. On the other hand,
the government Is reported lo have re
ceived new evidence greatly strength
onlng Its claim that the alleged combin
ation of packers exists and Is In dally
violation of tho Federal statute. In
such n situation there Is nothing for
the fnlr-mlnded ninii lo do but to await
tho open hearing. May It come soon
and be unsparing.

CHARLES EMOBY SMITH'S POSITION.
Prom the Philadelphia Pres.
The Ecranton Tribune ought not to mbutidcr
slanil the Press. There Is no ground for Ktylng
that this paper "may now be willing to dele
gate to Senator Quay, tho Olivers and tlie beads
of a few laige corpoulloiw the naming of the
next governor ot Pennsylvania."
The l'res Is not so foolish. It Is not "willing-,"
and, even It It were, It could not "dele
gate" that Job to anybody, Nobody can "dele
gate" it. The people will imino the next gov
ernor of I'eniisjlvanhi; that l, lliey will If they
ran get a fair election. If tlie politicians give
them an acceptable candid its they will name
him. If not they will take their own course.
That is the whole case. Its ruling principle
applies to Sir. (Juay ami to evcrjbody else. The
Hcranton Tribune lias already found that It ap
plies to Mr. i:il,in, So fr as delegates ,cre
concerned, lie was going on Mvlnmilnitlv mi long
us lie was' understood to be the slated candidate.
The moment that illusion was dispelled his ap
plecart was dumped. Wc are told that lie is
the "leading candldale" ami tlic "party prefei
ence." Well, if tli.it be so, what Is the fuss
about It? Are not (he primaries going on just
as tliey alwajs have? Can not the "leading can
didate" win delegates, just us lie has done?
Cannot the "party preference" he expressed, just
as It lias been?
1'or our part, we hive never thought much of
the primaries or of (lie election of delegates, but
the Scranton Tribune ha. I'p to two weeks ago
il was happy. The only chance we discover Is
that up to that time Mr. Ell.ln was riding the
nest ot the wave as the supposed stated candl
dato and was getting the delegates, and now lie
is in tho trough of the sea as the unstated can
dldale, and Isn't getting the delegates. That
makes, a great deal of difference lo Mr. r.lkln,
but we don't .sec tint exactly the same thing is
"free expression of party preference" when It
fclatcs him and "brutal" bos rule when It un
stales 1dm, nor do we quite understand how an
intelligent Journal can think the same tiling U
right in tlic one case anil all wrong in tho other.
The attitude of tlie Press in the matter is very
simple. It doesn't "delegate" the naming of the
governor to Senator (Juay, the Olivers or anyhody
eli. It couldn't if it would, and it wouldn't If
it could. But it commends Senator Quay for
having the good sense to declare himself against
the policy of nominating Mr. Klkln, because that
nomination would have been ill-jitious, and for
tlie rest tho l'rc-s proposes to await the state
convention and its results. If that convention,
under whatever influence and through whatever
motive, shall nominate an acceptable candidate
for governor, wiiov.- name will be a giuiantee
of honest government, why rhoiildii I he be lie
(cpted? If it shall not nominate Midi a candi
date, then tlio-u who arc responsible inu-t take
