Tins want of enthusiasm nt tlio Demo
cratic county convention, upon thu adoption
of tlio free silver platform, was a noticeable
fenturo of that withering.
Tin: campaign of education in the Hist
Legislative district will miss tho silver voice
of Mr. Powers, who npirid to tho Demo
cratic nomination in this district.
Is Candidate Shepherd writing a letter of
acceptance 1 Tho votcis of tho county,
especially those of tlio fit o silver idea, are
anxious to know if he will accept tho muni
tion. It is tlio Western and Southern hobo, says
tlio Philadelphia Press, that is agitating free
silver. And it is the Northern mid ll'istcni
miner and mechanic who aro alroady be
ginning to feel tho result.
Till: Allcntnvvn platform and thu Chicago
platform and ticket can never bo reconciled.
on must bo for ono and against tho other,
but it appears that tho average, Schuylkill
Democrat can accept both for ollice.
It is ii significant fact that tho four states
whoso delegutes bolted the Republican con
vention at fjt. Louis represented $."i!l,0Ufl,O0U of
tho 00,000,000 tot-ul silver production or tLo
country, according to the mint statistics of
lhlll.
DuuiNo tho civil war, when we had u
depreciated currency, tlio prices of the
necessaries of life advanced '.'00 per cent,
while wagos advanced only 110 per cent.
The vvorkiincinau was a losor, therefore, to
tho extent of SI per cent.; and a similar
icsult would cnsiio under tho free silver
policy.
WilliN the five coiners talk about tho
necessity of restoring silver to tlio position
that It occupied prior to 187!1, they ignore tl o
fact that tho Government has dono that very
thing fifty times over by tho coinage of more
than fifty times as many silver dollars as
wcro coined in the wholo previous history of
the country
Mr.. Uitv.is, candidate for President, lias
two running mates. Ono of them, Mr.
hewull, was at tho notification meeting in
.New York last night, while Tom Watson was
allowed to remain at homo. The latter, how
ever, will have ids innings when Mr. Ilryan
ft tendstho Populists' notification pew-wow,
and then Mr. Sewull cun look in from the
outside.
OxM of the famous Altgeld leases has been
pbotographod and piovos that tho Anaichlst,
Freo Silver Governor of Illinois, was not
slandeied when it was alleged that in his
contracts Allgold explicitly stipulates for the
payment of principal and intciest in gold
coin. This only piovos that ho is a consum
mate hypocrite and demagogue. lie provide
for his own prutcition against the evils of
free silver coinage and a depreciated and
debased curicncy.
TilK Republican candidates will meet in
Pottsville on Saturday for tho purpose of
selecting n county chairman and attending to
other preliuilnniles of thu campaign. The
candidate are perfectly ablu to mako 1 1 1
selection, and they no doubt fully realize the
importance of naming a man for the position
who can unite, fur the time being, at least,
the lilll'uient factious of thu party. If that
is done there is no doubt of Republican
succotw tills fall.
"I AM NOT A DEM0CP.AT."
On March 17, lSlit), the Hon. William
Jennings llryau declared at Mount Vernon,
111. : "1 am not a Democrat."
What havo Democrats to do with a man
who lias proclaimed that he is not a Demo
crat; Who repeatedly boasted of bis in tint inn
not to support a gold candidato or a gold
jilatform ; and who is now, after two yearsor
more of intriguing with thu Populists, tlio
Populist cuiididato on a Pupulist platfouu?
Gov. John W. Hhhhih, of New Jcn.cy,
liko evory other clour-headed Republican,
grasps tho extent to which tho financial
question has elfacud all other issues, and ho
lias tho eotimgo to set forth tho domliianco of
this question in a pointed and emphatic way.
"I believe lu n prutoctlvo turilf," be says,
"but I would sooner a thousand timos livo
Hiidorn sound-money free-trado administra
tion thau under a free-silver administration
that favored protection." This is tlio senti
ment of n majority ot tho Republicans who
understand tho finance question, but not all
of them would havo tho spunk to tell it so
squarely and forcibly. It is a sentiment, too,
which will grow as tho canvass progresses.
i j . i - -
Tub voters of tho county well remember
tho position assumed by the Lvenlng Chron
uli, published at Pottsville us the ollb ial
oigauuf the Democratic party tu tlib ounty
when the Chicago platform was adopted. It
Is of so roccnt occimcncc that it is hardly
necessary to say that the Chroniclo repudiated
that platform lu strong words, and avowed
its Intention of opposing tho election of tlio
party nominees for l'rosldent and Vleo l'rosU
dent. In fact, in almost every issue of tho
paper sinco then our contemporary has
opposed the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and showed the dangers to be feared In
the election of Jlryan. Thocounty conven
tion on Monday endorsed tlio Chicago plat
form and tho candidacy of Itryan, and tho
Chronicle, like tho Democratic leaders in this
county, has proved itsolf an adept as a
financial coutuitiouist. Our contemporary is
nnything hut consistent, and friend Major
should keep in lino with tho previous editorial
utterances of the Chroniclo.
Co.NTitOLLKl: Lloyd, of Luzerne county,
has started out well, and if he continues in
tlio same direction tlio county will save many
times ids salary. Tor years past it has been
the custom of justices to discharge litigants
and place the costs on the county. Indeed, it
is openly nsserted by thoso in iKisition to
know (hat many justices of easy consciences
have been wont to cnato lawsuits in their
neighborhood for no other loason than to
mako costs, which they placed upon the
county. Thoso the Controller will look into
carefully, and wherever ho finds an illegal
claim that has been paid, he will surchargo
tho amount to tho officer issuing tho order.
In tho samo way constables havo llceced tho
county for years, hut Controller Lloyd will
prevent it in tlio futuio. lie intends to cut
down tho expenditures of the county to tho
actual legal feus. Tho samo stato of all'airs
oxist in tills county, and tlio Controller of
Schuylkill has tho kudo authority as Mr.
L oyd, but we iuestlou tlio legal right of
the Contioller to surchargo tho Justices,
although ho may have that authority
so far as constables aro concerned
Xow that all legal doubt in rcferenco
to tho position has been set at rest by tho
.Supreme Court, wo may expect to hear from
Mr. Severn in tlio samo vigorous manner as
has marked tho introduction of Controller
Lloyd into ollice. At least that is what the
taxpayers expect and have a right to demand.

ceived tlio snmo amount of stock for using
his Influenco fo pass the ordinance.
Mr. Mnrtln was accompanied by his
eonnsel, A. S. L. Shields. The committee
Announced that under the net by which it
was created an inquiry was being mado
Into tho nlloged nbtises that hnvo crept
into tho citv's charter nnd not to try Indi
viduals. Tho ronimlttco, it was doclded,
simply sat like n grand Jury, nnd under
thoso circumstances It was deomod ndvls
nblo to nllovv no counsol to represent wit
nesses. Mr. Martin's counsel thereupon
nrose nnd nppcilod to tho commlttco to
nfford Mr. Martin tho samo privileges It
had afforded Itself tho ndvlco.nnd assist
ance of counsel. Mr. Mnrtln, liolns un
trained In tho lnw nnd tho examination of
witnesses, wns entitled, ho thonctht, to tho
same privilege. Counsel for tho commit
tee thought othorwlso nnd ndvisod tho
committee to stand by Its orlglnnl posi

commlttco around him, nnd after a fovv
minutes' prlvnto consultation nnnounced
that Mr. Mnrtln would bo nffordod ft full
henrlng, but ho could not bo represented
by rounel.
Mr. Martin, who hurt been quietly lis
tening to tho proceedings, then nrose nnd
In n husky volco denounced thocomiiiitteo
for Its notion. Hosuid: "I consider It nn
ontrago that this conimtttoo does not give
mo the same opportunity to bo heard as It
did my .accusers. I will bo guided entirely
by my counsel." Ho nnd counsel con

would lio Issued for Mr. Martin.
Yesterday ho was present by his own vo
lition. Senntor Porter was then cnllod several
times, but did not rospond. It wns testi
fied that a subpnum had been served on
him. Counsel for tho commlttco nn
nounced that ho purposed bringing this
witness bv process of law if ho would not
come otherwise, and nlso sovernl othors
who could not bo found. These latter
wore John V. Verseh nnd Thomas Stack
house, oillcialsnf tho telephono company.
Vv'lllinm ,T. Honey, receiver of tnxos of
this eity.nnd brother-in-law of Mr. Martin,
was then culled. He snld that ho had seen
tho original of the powc of attorney al
leged to havo been given by Mr. Mnrtln to
John P. Perfcli to vote 1,523 shares of

where nnd tinder wlmt circumstances, or
to answer any further questions until ho
had consulted eouii.se! This was accorded

Charles fj. A. Furbush, ono of tho in

satisfactory witness. Ho said ho met John
Persch in Trenton ceveral times during
the councilninnlc investigation lust fall a
year, nud talked about tho telephone com
pany's nlTiilrs, but did not remember what
lio snld or what Persch said. Tho rest of
Mr. Fnrlmsh's testimony amounted to
practically little because of his poor inom
