Close of the Campaign Finds .Chair man Taylor and His Committee men Satisfied That There Is No Possibility of a Republican Candi date Being Defeated Two Meet ings on tho South Side and One at Archbnld Mines Tonight Meetings at Dunmore and North End. Probably never before In the history of tho county did the IleptihllciiiiH ap IHoni'lt mi election with tho assurance of victory tlml lllls the managers ot tho campaign which closes today. County Chairman Taylor said yesterday that there Is no possibility of any Republi can being defeated, and In this ho voiced the sentiment of eveiy man on the committee. The half-hearted, un oi'Ranliicd campaign of the Democrats, while largely responsible for the con ditions of which tills assurance Is borne, Is not wholly tosponslble. Tho well-directed, hard, earnest work of tho Republican managers and candidates pt oved simply Irresistible. Success hud to result. Tomorrow will rceoul a big, well-earned victory. The good woik Is to be kept up until the very lasl minute. It Is not proposed to allow over-conlldence to produce lax ity. There Is to be no taking anything for granted. Tonight meetings me to be held In South Kcrnnton and at the Arehbald mines. One of the South Seruntou meetings will be at AVurklngmen's hull and the other at Athletic hail. M. . Lowry, R. A. Zimmerman and Hon. John R. Farr will address tho former meeting, and Hon. James Moir, John M. Harris and John F. Scrags, the lat ter. The Arehbald mines meeting will bo addressed at Jayne's hall by District Attorney 'W. R. Lewis, Deputy Attor ney General Frederic "W. Fleltz and John Fein. . Meeting at Dunmoie. A very successful Republican mass meeting, attended by fully COO voters, was held in Odd Fellows' hull, Dun more, Saturday night. Addresues were made by ex-Speaker of the House of Representatives John R. Fair, John M. Harris nnd Hon. Jerry Snyder, of Al lcntown. Seated on the platform in ndditloa to the speakers were Attorney II. ('. Hub lcr, who presided; Judge A. A. Vos burg, H. AV. Bishop, Dr. J. C. R.iteson, James H. Young, Dan Powell and V. S. Jones. In Introducing the speakers, Chairman Hubler urged upon the vot eis tho need of electing a Republican congress, that the hands of President Roosevelt may be supported in carry ing out the great principles of the Re publican party. Mr. Farr, the llrst speaker, raised the enthusiasm to the highest pilch by his earnest words in showing the utter fallacy of the claims of the Democrats. Mr. Paulson's regard for the wage earner was clearly shown by his veto of the mechanics' lien bill, introduced by Mr. Farr, which was intended to give the mechanic tho same piotection in securing his pay for work done as is now enjoyed by the contractor. Narrow Guaged Statesman. i-Mr, Farr gave It as his opinion, an opinion formed after several yeais of active contact, that Robert K. Pattison Is tho most iijrrow-gunged statesman before tho public today. As an in stance of this he referred to his twice vetoing the compulsory education bill introduced by Mr. Fair in both ses sions of the legislatuie held during Mr. Paulson's term as governor. The re sults following the enactment of that law under the Republican administra tion have certainly shown it to have been a measure much to be desired and aptly Illustrates the general policy of the Democratic party of standing still and finding fault, with those who be lieve things and do things for the good of the citizens of this commonwealth. Mr. Fair said that in spite ot the noise and wlld talk of the , stand-still party, Pennsylvania Is the best gov erned state In the Union today, and ho gave facts and figures vto support his claim. He closed with an earnest ap peal to those present to vote the straight Republican ticket on Tuesday and show to the world that the Key stone state Is still the glbraltar of Re publicanism nnd was not unnppreclat Ive of the great work recently done by Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Harris' Address. John M. Harris was next Introduced and made one of his characteristic speeches, lu which he severely arraigned the policies and general do-nothlngnefs of the Democratic party. He lefeired to the tariff question now being review ed by the false prophet, Orover Cleve land, and urged his hearers not to for got the panics and depression that have always followed In the foot step ot Democratic meddling with the tariff question, or Indeed any matter with which they meddle. Ho leferrod to the settlement of the coal stilko now so happily ended through the strenuous labors of Presi dent Roosevelt and the matchless abll Ity of the miners' leader, John Mitchell to whom he referred In most glowing terms. Such an ending could only have come about In Republican times, when labor In employed, the dinner pall full and help In abundance, en mo from nil parts of this great country. Ho paid glowing tt Unites to the can didates representing Republican prin ciples flnd urged his hearers to com pare the tickets fiom top to bottom nnd thorn would bo no question as to the choice, Hon. Jerry Snyder, of Allentown, was tho last speaker. He, at once, gained tho friendship i( his heaters by his many witty sallies at the expense ot the Democrats. Owing to the lateness of the hour he did not speak at length, having addressed another meeting earlier In the evening. Tho piesenca of the American band and tho North Had Oleo club added much to the enjoyment of the evening, the several selections being repeatedly encored. I'nless all signs fall this bor ough will give a surprisingly large vote for the party of peace, plenty and pros perity, North Scranton Meeting. Another big nnd enthusiastic meeting was held In the Auditorium In North Scranton, Saturday night. The speak ers were Hon. Jerry Snyder, of Alleiir town; Assistant District Attorney W. Gaylord Thomas, and Hon. John R. Farr. Mr. Snyder was substituted for Hon, Robert S. Murphy, of Johnstown, who telegraphed he was too III to keep his engagement. Mr. Snyder and Mr. I J.

JUDGE VOSBURG REPLIES v I TO SKULKING ASSAILANTS ; Kdltor of The Tribune Sir: A man who masks himself behind a signature ot a "Lawyer," or "I'ltlzen," nnd who docs not dare to sign his name Is like a snake In the grass, which strikes unseen; and usually such an attack would be entirely Ignored. I feel, however, that It Is due to myself, and to the honorable position In which I have been placed by appointment, to reply In a very few words to the malicious and unwarranted n Uncle which has been made upon me. Taking these matters up In detail, I speak, first, of the amount of the viewers' bills against the city. As these bills wcio all approved by the court, and by the joint auditing committees of tho councils, before the suits upon them were referred, no possible defence could have been made against them As to the honesty unit Integrity of tho viewers, which Is called Into question by these conuntilcatlons, such men as D. J. Campbell, Robert J, Murray, esq,, James J. Mauley, and others, are fully nble to defend themselves. .Second As to the lefcree. I never suggested tho name or the rerereo .J. In any of these cases; and I see no reason why, as tho representative of the city, I should object to Mr. Dawson. He was not the only attorney to whom cases were referred, and I did not object to others being named. Third As to the necessity for a. reference. There was no npptoprl- ation available to pay these bills; they were upon interest; they weie valid claims, having been approved by the court. Yet 1 was informed by counsel that the banks Would not purchase them unless judgment was obtained, and was asked to icfer them for the purpose of making them non-contestlble, and, therefore, negotiable. To this I assented as a matter of courtesy, and also of duty to the claimants, knowing that the city could not possibly be Injured thereby. Fourth As to the authority given me by the council's to confess judgment. This only applied to suits brought to recover the share of .. the city ot the cost ot sewer construction, and not to viewers' bills. I did confess judgment to A. II. Coons it Son, and to every other such claimant who was willing to take a judgment by confession; but At tor- ney M. F. Donohoe asked me to refer the eases of Donohoe & O' Boyle against city, sitnting that the parties whom he lepresented were not satisfied that a judgment by confession would be valid. To meet this objection, and in compliance with this request, I agreed to refer these cases. Fifth As to the effect of the references upon the city. The city was saved cost by there references in evry case, as the cost of an arbitration, or of a trial In court, which would be taxed ngalnst the city, would far exceed the cost taxed in the case of a reference. Sixth As to tltb effect upon tho county. It ls cheaper for the county to pay the referee, than to pay the jurors, and the other expenses inci dent to a trial in court. No case can be referred without the consent of the court, and such consent was secured in every one of these cases. Many cases are referred at every term of court. Seventh As to the amount of the bills of the referee. These bills were approved by the attorneys on both sides, by the county solicitor In most cases, and by one of the judges of case. Tt can hardly be claimed that t, make a raid upon the county treasury. ,, This is the whole matter in a Farr followed the same lines they pur sued In their addresses at the Dunmore meeting. Mr. Thomas exptessed the belief free silver to a certain degree and tailff revision almost assuredly would be issues In the lflOl campaign. If there should be a falling off in the Repub lican representation in congress now, it would lend encouragement to the Democrats to make a vigorous light on these Issues, which, as experience has shown, would mean unrest generally and Industrial depression, paitlculmly. With the Republicans victorious now, tho Democrats will be likely to leave these disturbing Issues alone, and the country will rest easy knowing that If the tariff is to be revised it will b revised liy its friends. Mr. Thomas spoke of the candidates on the Republican ticket and paid a particularly high tribute to tho worth and ability of Judge Vosburg. whose neighbois cheered him to the echo. SELECTIONS MADE BY TWO CONTESTANTS Mr. Rodriguez and Mr. Sherwood Have Chosen Bucknell and Syra cuse, Respectively. Two more selections have been ma.de by the successful contestants in The Tribune's Kducational Contest, Will iam T. S. Rodriguez was particularly anxious to enter Bucknell university, but owing to his age and not being suf ficiently advanced in his studies, It was necessary to communicate with tho uni versity olllelals tn ascertain If they would be willing to extend the time of entering. The president was out of town and considerable delay was caused, as the question could not be ' decided until his return, Yesterday, I however, tho following telegiam was received: I.ewl.sbuig, P,i Nov. 1, 190.', Tilbuue, Sciauton: You may awtud scholaishlp to party named In your letter of Wednesday. W. C. OreUliiger. There was a similar circumstance In connection with William Sherwood's selection. Ho selected Syracuse, but would be unable to enter next fall, and a letter was written Dr. James R. Day, chancellor of tho university, explaining the situation and requesting a. tele graphic reply. Dr. Day promptly re plied ns follows: 1 Scranton Tiibuno, Scranton.

James R, Day, This brings the selection down to tho young man In eighth place, Albeit Freedmnn, ot Hellenic, who will prob ably make a selection today.

I MARY HUNT OF BOSTON, Strict Enforcement of Compulsory Educational Laws Needed, nnd a Discontinuance of tho Landing of Immigrants Until Thoso Now in This Country Ate Educated nnd Americanized Predicts That tho Saloon Must Perish or tho Republic Will Saloon Tho Greatest Evil. An exceptionally large audience greet ed Mrs. Mary II. Hunt, of Roston, at tho Klin Park M. 10. church, last even ing to hear her speak on the subject, "Tho Future of Our Republic." She Is the world and national superinten dent ot Scientific Instruction of tho Women's Christian Temperance Union nnd delivered several lectures before tho county teachers' institute In this city last week. "One of the greatest enemies ot self government Is the saloon and all that It represents, and either t lie saloon must perish or the republic will perish," she said. "The perpetuity of our government de pends upon the character of our people and there Is 110 influence which destroys more rapidly than the alcohol influence. It Is n narcotic poison, which, taken In small parts, has power to create a disease for more, and thus destroys and deadens the brain power. "There is a marked lneiease, how ever, in flip number of temperate work men, and this can be attributed to tho Inlluonce of the public schools on them. There Is also n marked Increase ot the habits of other nations on us. and while this Is truly a land of liberty and a home of the oppressed, we are the oppressed by reason of the habits of others who come to our shores. "The hour hns come when we should say It is time to educate and Aineil canlze those who are now among us before others are allowed to come. We a1o need a. more careful observance of the temperance educational laws, because the alcoholic habit is the most dangerous element to our republic. "God has given us abundant resources and there is no other nation which has such a future or so much wealth as ours, but we ought to shut our gates for awhile and educate the people In this country now before permitting others to land." Mrs. Hunt believes the saloon will perish through the enactment and en forcement of temperance educational laws, and petitioned her hearers to ex ercise the power of the ballot In select ing men who will represent this idea and enact such legislation as will bring about such results. She reiterated her belief that the saloon must pcrlslr or the republic will perish, MINE WORKERS. Vote for Joseph Oliver. Th" Republican candidate for Repre sentative to the Legislature lu the First district. As a delegate from his local union at the International convention of printers In Cincinnati, last Augurt, he seemed, by an unanimous rising vote, 1111 iippiopil.itlon of S2.000 from the burial fund (there being no money In the general fund) to aid the .striking miners In their recent struggle. He Is an active union man of many years' standing, and will stand by the mining class lu the Legislatuie as he has stood by them In the councils of labor at I home and abroad. Judge the calibre of I the candidates by their actions gather than by their talk. VOMAN IS MISSING. Forest City IIuTband Thinks His Wife Has Mot with Foul Play.
