In tho death of Hon. William L. Scott the Democratic party has lost one of Its most valuable members, aud Ex-President Clevoland his best friend. Mr. Scott was a self-made man, commencing life as a page in the United States Senate, and ending it when he was regarded as one of the shrewdest ard most enterprising bus iness men of tho country, and one of the wealthiest. His business enter prises were varied nnd extensive, and his reputation was that of one whose word was a bond. As a politician he was calculating, shrewd, liberal and audacious. Personally, he was greatly liked, not only for his social qualities, but for his many charitable deeds done in a most unostentatious man ner. Waters' Weiss boor is tho best.

ALL ARE ENLISTED FOR THE FIGHT Tho Old Soldlora Very Active -Ma- gee, Hustings, Roodor, Coopor and Othors Rospond Re publican Enthusiasm. Special OorrespondoncoJ PlllLAnEU-lIlA, Sept. 83. Wlh the formal opening of both state 'committee headquarters in this city last week, the campaign may be fairly said to be well under way. Of course, until about Oct. 1, the party inanacers will devote their attention mainly to organi zation. It i apparent that tho Ko publi cans are far in advance of the Demo crats in this preliminary work. While Chairman Kerr has but a single type writer and a couplo of usaistnnts en gaged at his South Penn square head quarters, Republican Field Marshal Watres finds plenty to do for a large corps of clerks and typewriters at the old stand, in the Continental hotel. Every mail brings in a big batch of let ters from every county in tho state. This correspondence for the last few days has beeu simply immense. It has been commented upon as significant that there should be such a widespread interest taken, m the canvass so early, Many of the letters are in reply to com munications sent out by Chairman Watres as soon as he took charge. He at once put himself in touch with tho organization in every county in the state, 'ihe county chairmen have al ready discovered that whenever ho wants any information he will not hesi tate to ask for it, however unimportant it may seem to bo. Home of them also realize the fact that if he don't Ket ex actly what he wants in their reply he jviu persist until ne aoes get it. WATRES WILUNO TO LIBTKN. Though he is raoidlv earninir a rerra- tation as a chairman with ulans and ideas of his own, Watres is breaking the record .as a caretui ana attentive listener. Ho seems determined to tret nil the sug gestions and udvico that can be had trom thinking Republicans in every sec tion. i It was generally conceded on his elec tion to the chairmanship that the lieu tenant L'overnor represented no faction or particular element in the party. This fact has been fully demonstrated since lie tooK cliarge of the campaign. The headauarters hare been visited bv Republicans of prominence and of every shade of opinion. Ho has solicited the opinions of all as to the situation in their respective counties and sought tueir uuvicu us tu wa conuuet or tne campaign. Chris Magee, General Has tings and ez-Chairman Cooper were among the first to call. Tho chairman had u long, private and evidently satis factory talk with each. MAQEK HAKES A PREDICTION. Magee assured him that Allegheny county was good for one of the old time majorities. Ho said the war veterans and business men of Pittsburg fully ap preciated the nomination ot Captain Morrison for state treasurer, and that an organization would be formed in western Pennsylvania which would bring out a larger Republican vote than has ever been polled in an off year. Bince Magee was here the ohalrman has received letters which show that one of strongest committees ever; gotten to gether in "t e state of Allegheny" has been organized, and the work of the campaign has begun in earnest. General Hastings has placed himself at the service of the state committee, and will promptly respond when called upon to take the stump. He has been doing good work already. His ringing Bpeech at the Lehigh county meeting, at Alleutown, recenty, struck the key note for an uncompromising and ag gressive campaign. Ex-Governor Beaver dropped in on Chairman Watres a night or two airo. on his way to a Grand Army reunion. j DEAVEB WAXES ELOQUENT. - "I tell you, chairman," said tho one legged veteran, enthusiastically, as he pounded the floor with one of his crutches, "I tell you, the old boys in blue are all up in arms for this ticket of ours. I find it wherever I go. It is a soldier ticket, top and bottom, and the brave veterans of Pennsylvania are or better cavalryman than General Gregg never straddled a horse. Captain Morrison, as an infantryman, has a record for patriotic service of which any man might well be proud. You would be amazed at the number of Democrats among the veterans who aro going to vote for botti Grrgc and Morrison." ,' Ex-Chairman Cessna, of Bedford, jwho managed the state campaign fwhen Garfield ran for president; General Willium Lilly, of Carbon; ex Lieutenuut Governor Diviea, of Brad ford; General Reoder, cf Northampton; Major E. K. Martin, of Lancaster; ex Senator Hood, of Indiana: State Com mitteeman McCarrell. of Dauphin: ex- .Chairman Phillips, of Schuylkill; Rep resentative mint, o' .uercer; ti. J. Culbertson, of Mlfllin, Everett Warren, of Lackawanna, and scores of other active men from different counties have (also given the chairman their opinions on the situation aid advice, as to the proper method onr which to conduct the canvass. Thus tftkeu into the confidence of th head of j tho orcauization. Re publicans generally are snowing an un usual interest in tlie campaign. URUGXl AND MORRISON UAl'PY. I Chairman Watres lias had two con ference with Candidates Gregg Hiid Olorrison. They teem to be very linuch pleased with tho outlook in tho -itate. General Gregg and Captain Morrison have had an opportunity to judge from personal observation as to the feeling iu a number of the counties. The general was delighted with tho ovation tendered him at the granger's picnic at Williams' Grove, lie deliv ered a taking speech to the farmers, and made a very favorable impression. At rjrana Ariny reunions in the northwest ern counties and at several points nearer his home, at which he came in contact with former members of his cavalry command, he was moat enthusiastically received. Captain Morrison has scarcely had a day to himself sinco lie was nominated. He is in great demand. Invitations to Grand Army and regimental reunions are pouring in -on him from every quar ter. He got one last week from an old comrade, who was a member of his own company during the war. asking him to meet him at a soldiers gathcriug in Ohio. What was no doubt a very hppy occasion for the brave little cap tain was the reunion of the survivors of the famous old "Roundheads" recently. This is the regiment iu which young Morrison enlisted after leaving his father's farm in Mercer county at the very breaking out of the rebellion. He got a great ovation from his old com panions. He was met at the station by a committee and escorted in a carriage to the home of a prominent citizen, where he was royally entertained. Sub sequently, at Mount Carmel, North umberland county, ho met many of the veterans of eastern Pennsylvania, and received many encouraging words aud assurances of support from Democrats and Republicans alike, as ho did at Coatesvillo. Chester county, last week. Avery gratifying incident noted at the Republican headquarters last week was tne calling on Chairman Watres of both of the prominent candidates for the presidency of the Stato League of Republican clubs. Dalzell, of Pittsburg, and Robinson, of Media, were there on the same day, though they did not meet, Both assured the state chairman that whatever would be tho result of the Scranton convention, they and their friends would he found working loyally and earnostly in the interest of Gregg and Morrison until the polls closo on election day. Robinson and Dalzell both promise to take the stump for the state ticket. Though their respective supporters wagou a lively battle in the league, Robinson und Dalzell have been personally friendly since ther were college mates. A promised pioture of harmony is their appearanoe on the same platform oloquontly championing the cause of the Republican party and its nominees. Chairmen Watres and Kerr get along very nicely together. They havo had a couple of conferences in arranging for a uniform plan for printing the state tickets. Watres first called on Kerr and thon the Democrafio chairman visited the Repulican field marshal, and they finally parted on very friendly terms Jim SniiTn.

Clubs will be trump at Scranton this week. Ex ConRrossman Scott is dead, no was tho wealthiest man in the state. McGlnnUs is making a thorough coo l canvass and as ho makes himself known secures now friends. Next year thoro will bo lots of good offices to go around and it won't bo tho sluggard who'll get there. A. il. High, of Heading, is tho first delegato oloclod to tbo next National Ito publican convention. Just what the Press and Journal will do after tbo Scranton convention is over is being debated. Whether it bo Robinson or Dalzell tho Kepublican ticket will receive tho united support of the party. O, yee, Kobineon will bo snowed undor, but tho figures in tho Press does not look that way. A member of the Exocutivo Committee wanted to be electod a delegate to tho League Convention, but he wasn't. Now the club does not legally exist according to his opinion, Had ho boon electod, he would have thought otherwise. Shenandoah has a number of Blowbards in both political parties who nevor con tribute a cent towards tho expenses of the party but who claim all tho omolumonU. Tboy also want to dictato which way tho cat is to jump and will not vote thoir ticket if their wishes aro not gratified. Out with those barnaclos ; they aro no use to any body.
