(Pjwlal Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Oot. 24. The withdraw
al of Joalah It. Ailanis from the Hepuri
Ucan stute ticket and the nomination
of former United StntoH Senator James
I. Mill hell to succeed him aa the candi
date for Justice of the superior ronrt
was. of course, the political sensation
of the past week. The retirement of
Mr. Adams was awalnst the Judgment
and advice of many who have taken an
active part in the present canvass, hut
Mr. Adams etermined to adhere to his
conclusion to get off the ticket. His
action wns the outcome of criticism of
his business and professional relations
with the American Investors' com
pany, an enterprise which proved a
failure, and In which Mr. Adams wns a
loser with many others. Alleged ques
tionable transactions on the part of
certain agents of the company, for
which Mr Adams was In no wise re
sponsible, led to partisan attacks upon
him. Mr. Adams, who was not ac
cused of any personal wrong dolus. In
a manly, straightforward statement,
fully explained his connection with the
company, his own losses and his ulti
mate retirement from the concern.
MR, ADAMS' WITHDRAWAL.
Mr. Adams, who is a man of line sen
tlhlllties and who has felt keenly the
attack made upon him. wrcte a letter
to Chairman Ueeder, of the Republican
Btate committee, in which he said:
"The honor of the nomination for su
perior court Judge came to me, aa you
know, unsought and unexpected.
"I accepted that nomination with the
greatest pride. The emoluments of the
office were no Inducement to me, hut
the opportunity of single devotion to a
beloved profession and the honor of
high office wore extremely alluring. I
have beeu attacked by political oppo
nents and have answered the attack In
the only way that the best friendly,
professional and political, advisers
deemed adequate. I can, before elec
tion day, In no further way diminish
the effect of that attack, which must,
therefore, influence voters adversely to
the party ticket If I remain thereon.
"I have no right to let my own ambi
tion Impede my party's success, and
while I have no doubt of election If I
stand. I should not enjoy victory hy a
lessened party vote, nor could I endure
a Judicial seat In any court whose
humblest suitor at the bar doubted my
Integrity.
"I. therefore, decline the nomination
for Judge of the superior court."
Recognising the Importance of filling
the vacancy on the ticket without de
lay, as yesterday was the last day
upon which a certificate of nomination
for filling a vacancy could be filed at
Harrishurg. Chairman Reoder called
the Republican state committee to
gether by telegraph. There was a re
markably large attendance at the meet
ing, which was held on Saturday last.
big field of aspirants for the superior
dourt sprung up from different coun
ties, hut when the comralttemen got to
gether It soon developed that former
Senator Mitchell, at present a Judge of
the common pleas court of Tioga coun
ty, was loo'-ed upon as the strongest
and most available man that could be
chosen, and his nomination followed.
STATE COMMITTEE MEETS.
"The call for this meeting is an un
nsunl one, and you meet under unusual
circumstances," said General Reeder,
In opening the meeting of the stato
committee. "Less than two months ago
a convention of our party, coraposod
of delegates regularly elected by tne
people in the various districts of the
state, met and nominated for the suf
frages of the people of the state candi
dates for the offices to be filled at the
coning election. For the office of Judge
of the superior court they nominated
a member of the Philadelphia bar of
estensivo practice and large profes
sional attainments. Since his nomi
nation he has been made the subject
of crlllclsm in partisan newspapers,
and out of regard for his associates
upon i lie ticket. In deference to what
he believod to be the best interests of
the party, and with an unselfish and
self-sacrificing consideration for the
Interests of others, he haa withdrawn
from the ticket, thereby causing a va
cancy. "I hope I may be pardoned," he con.
finned, "if I suggest a single thought
before proceeding to the business of
the committee. The election is now
but two weeks distant; we hare only
two weeks In which to complete our
campaign. In the filling of this vacan
cy, therefore, it becomes important that
the gentleman nominated shall be one
whose qualifications and claims are in
atantly obvious aa soon aa hia name is
mentioned. His reputation. If possi
ble, should be statewide; he should be
known either for hia Judicial attain
ments or hit professlonsl qualifications.
It la to be hoped the members of this
committee will rise above all personal
considerations, all local claims, and
will regard only the paramount duty
they owe fe their party organisation,
In the selection of the name which Is
to fill the vacancy upon our ticket I
trust that all other thoughts will be
last alght of In the regard which tne
members of this committee will give
to the selection af a candidate whs will
tend strength to the ticket and com
Band the confidence of all the people."
BINGHAM'S ABLE SPEECH.
Piecing Jmdge Mitchell In aoaalaa-
Uon. Gtaanl H. H. Bingham, member
of 'ingress from the First Pennsylva
nia district, made an eloquent address.
"I concur heartily la the suggestion
of the chairman," said General Bing
ham, "that we ahould encourage a
spirit of self-abnegation aa to the
claims of candidates put forward In our
various localities for this nomination.
The purpose of convening a convention
months before the date of the election
Is In order that the character, the at
tainments and the record of the candi
date presented for the suffrages of the
people may be thoroughly and fully
exploited before the people of a great
state and, In view of the near approach
of election day and the difficulty of
promptly placing our nomination be
fore the people, because of their num
ber and the vastness of our territory,
you will appreciate the necessity of
naming a candidate whose name and
whose record are already well known
to the people of the state.
"Our magnificent state, with its In
telllrent ritlxenshlp. is rockribbed lc
its fidelity to the principles and poli
cies of the Republican party. (Ap
plause.) Within a generation the pol
icies of that party have made our do
main the richest of any la the com
monwealths of the nations of the.
world. Her Industries unexampled I
her wealth unparalleled, she demands
of you today, snd has a right to exact
from this committee the highest meas
ure of patriotic expression in the pre
sentation of a man fur the office of
justice of the superior court a man
untranimeled by obligations, trained
to the lew, familiar with the great
work demanded by the trust imposed,
whose life work is without a blemish,
whose integrity Is unquestioned, whose
record is so clean and clear that he
who runneth may read It. and who is
known to the people of the state.
"If I can submit such a character
ami such a life to this gathering I will
feel satisfied. With you rests the
responsibility of approval nnd con
clusion. It has been my privilege to
sit as a representative in many city,
statu and national convoutlons. I
have been Instructed, edified and enter
tained by the eloquent orations to
which I have listened when the uames
of candidates have been presented by
advocates and friends. The present
occasion requires for me no oratorical
encomiums. If I can present to you
the name of a man who will fill the
measure that I have suggested 1 feel
that we will be drifting In the right
current by giving to the people of the
state a justification for the 100,000 ma
jority that they will give the Republi
can tic ket In November.
NOMINATES JUDGE MITCHELL.
"I nominate for justice of the su
perior court of the stato of Pennsyl
vania' the Hon. John I. Mitchell, of
Tioga county. It has been my honor
as well as my pleasure to serve with
him as a colleague in the Forty-sixth
congress, and to have been associated
with him during his six years of ser
vice as a distinguished representative
of this state in the United States sen
ate, lie Is my personal friend, and as
such I admire him. He has been an
efficient representative of this state,
and as such I honor him. His life has
been one of untiring labor and indus
try to fit him for his public work and
civic responsibilities. Laboring aa a
young man upon his father's farm, his
savings went to his education. He
taught school another contribution to
the development of his manhood. He
entered the army as a youth at the
breaking out of the rebellion, assist
ed in the raising of a company, and re
ceived his commissions aa lieutenant
and captain.
"Four years after his admission te
the bar he was elected district attor
ney in his native county, filling the
office with credit and ability. He was
then elected to the state house of repre
sentatives, in which he served flvs
years, and was easily the intellectual
ieader in that body, serving aa chair
man of the judiciary general and the
ways and means committees. He was
elected to the Forty-fifth and Forty
sixth congresses, and by the legisla
ture of this state to the senate of the
United States for the term beginning
In 1881 and expiring In 1187. Return
ing Immediately to his home con
stituency, he was elected to the bench
of his district, serving hia ten years
commission with honor, probity and
the constant approbation of his peo
ple. One year ago he was placed In
nomination by his party, and in ac
cordance with a practice Inaugurated
more than 20 years ago by the Phila
delphia metropolitan journals to con
tinue on the bench Judges of long ei
perlence, John I. Mitchell was re
elected, without partisan antagonism,
upon another commission of ten years.
"As hia friend, in submitting his
name to you, 1 will briefly summarize
his record. It is as follows: Three
years a district attorney of his county,
one year a soldier In the war of the
rebellion, live years a member of the
state house of representatives, four
years a member of the national house
of representatives, six years a United
States senator, ll years on the bench
of his district a public service of SO
years. In all of this period his life
has been open to public criticism and
commendation. Sixty years of age, he
lives today In the home community
in which he was born, surrounded by
people who knew him in his boyhood
days, with a character unsullied, unat
tacked and unlmpeached. He is the
embodiment of - integrity, of Judicial
purity, and his record as a statesman,
a civilian and a soldier is unsurpassed.
I submit his name for your consider
ation today, and will only add to what
I have said in his behalf, and I say
It In all sincerity, 'Match him If yoa
can.' " (Long continued applauae.)
Former Congressman Drumm, of
Schuylkill county, made a stirring
speech in seconding the nomination of
Judge Mitchell.
FORMER FIELD MARSHAL COOPER.
Than former Republican State Chair
man Thomas V. Cooper, of Delaware
county, got the door. He aald:
"On behalf of the Delaware county
delegation It was my purpose to preaeat
the name of V. Gilpin Robinson, one of
the leading attorneys of our bar, but
since our arrival here we have received
a letter of declination from Mr. Robin
son. The letter is as follows:
To the Members of the Stat Com
mittee: I am informed that there Is aa
overwhelming aentlment In favor
of the nomination of Judge Mlteh
aU. and thai, under the dm
genejaee, the vote for ma by row
delegation might be regarded aa in
dicating dissatisfaction In Del.? ware
eounty. I feel, as every good Re
publican should feel, that It la of
drat Importance, under the circum
stances, that the nominee shall re
ceive the unanimous Indorsement
and cordial support of every district
In the state. You therefore have my
full permission to withdraw my
name and to let the nomination he
made unanimously. With my sin
cere thanks for your interest, I am,
very truly yours.
V. OILPIN R0BIN8OI.
Continuing, Senator Cooper added:
"Now, I would like to be a second
seconder of the nomination of Judge
John I. Mitchell. I served for many
years with him in a co-ordinate branch
of the legislature. He was easily the
leader of the house at Harrlsburg. I
was chalrmanof the REGULAR branch
of the committee which nominated him
for the United States senate, and which
was composed of twelve REGULARS
and twelve INDEPENDENTS, who
were chosen to agree upon a candidate.
"Although John I. Mitchell had al
ways been known as a 'regular,' and
was never anything else, either when
leader of the house, when a candidate
for the senate, or when elected to the
judgeship, yet he was so free from of
fensive factional feelings that after
weeks of weary balloting the 'Inde
pendents' suggested his name to the
Joint committee, and that committee
unanimously accepted him. The pres
ent is evidently another stage In the
life of a man who, always a straight
and a regular Republican, has com
manded the approval of all classes of
Republicans, and such a candidate It Is
wisdom to nominate today."
Mr. Mitchell's nomination was then
made unani' ously.
Since the nomination of Judge Mitch
ell there have been evidences from all
over the state that his selection has
met with the approval of the people,
irrespective of party, and that the
prospects of largo majorities for the
Republican candidates have improved
wonderfully.

Brer since the Wild West show ap
peared In Buda-Pesth the citizens be
lieve that every American carriea a re
volver. Not long ago three Americana
were aittlng at a table in a music hall,
taking such refreshments aa may be
obtained at such a place. One of the
Americana finally called for his check.
The waiter performed a feat in mathe
matics and learned that three times
three made 17. The American found
fault with this system of multiplica
tion and stood up to protest. Instant
ly the girl who sold programmes threw
herself in front of him, and seized hia
arm. "Please don't," ahe pleaded. "He
la a poor man; he haa a wife and fam
ily." The manager came running
"Walt, wait," he entreated. "Please
do not make any trouble. I ask that
you do not shoot" Yielding to these
entreaties, the American (who carried
nothing more deadly than a penknife)
spared the life of the trembling waiter,
who had made a run for'the stairway.
There was another computation, and
it waa decided that three times three
made nine, and then the ferocious
Americans departed, to the great relief
of the natives.
