Elsewhere in this Issue will bo found n report of tho pro ceedings of tho Executive Committee of the Republican party in Wnyno county, together with copies of tho resolutions adopted by tho com mittee naming congressional conferees and directing them to support Homer Greene ns Wnyno county's candidate for tho congressional nomina tion in tho Fourteenth District. By this action of the committee the clnlm of Wayne county to tho nomination Is put officially and strongly before the people of the district, Under tho party rules the chairman of the state committee will fix a time and place for the district conference at which tho candidate will be select ed. At this conference Bradford will ho entitled to four conferees, Susque hanna to three, Wayne two and Wyoming one. Tho Bradford county committee held its meeting nnd elected its conferees on August 21 and it is reported! that tho conferees are pledged to the support of W. 1). B. Alncy, Esq., of Susquehnnna county, ns u candi date for Congress. The Wyoming county committee held its meeting on August 10th nnd elected its conferee, and named Hon. William N. Reynolds of Wyoming county ns its candidate. While Snsquchanmi county has not , yet taken action, it is presumed that Capt. Aincy, who appears to have al ready obtained tho promised support of Bradford county, will receive tho endorsement of his party at home. On tho face of it, therefore, the alli ance between Bradford nnd Susquehanna will give Capt. Ainey seven out) of ten votes in the conference and secure for hun tho district nomination. It would nppar, under such circumstances, to bo somuwhnt surprising that Wnyno county shuld, in "the face of apparent defeat, enter so vigorously into the contest for tho nomination, or.tliat Mr. Greene shoHld ho willing to lead a forlorn hope with such zest and zenl as ho manifested nt the com mittee meeting on Monday afternoon. So far as Mr. Grecno is concerned; it may be said that' ho has not been a candidate for tho county nomination, that ho lias repeatedly and for a long timo urged his friends and the Ioad crs of his party to choose some one else ns their candidate, but as the sen timent of the entire party had so crystulizcd and centred upon him, tliatl any other candidate was not to bo thought of, he finally consented to 6tand as Wayne county's representative In tho contest, and ho has taken hold of the situation with n vigor and enthusiasm which nugurs well for success. For it does not necessarily follow that because a candidate goes Into the conference with a majority of tho conferees already pledged to him he will come out with tho district nomination. There aro other things, to be considered. The situation in tho Fourteenth District has reached a crisis. The party welfare is at stake. It Is a matter of vital importance to the Republican administration that a Republican should bo elected to succeed Hon. George W. Kipp. It is also important that there should bo a united party in the district, for it is only by working in harmony that re sults can be accomplished. And it is also of extreme importance that po litical fair play should bo adopted, so that whatever is done at a district conference shall meet with tho approval and have the endorsement of all tho RepiibUcuns of tho district. Tho Citizen hns already, in a recent issue, published data showing tho ridiculously meagre representation that Wayne county lias had in Congress during its entire history, nnd especially since the organization of tho pres ent congressional district; nnd the manner in which it has been overwhelm ed by tho representation from Bradford and Susquehanna acting in con-! cert. It requires no keenness of political vision to see thnt wiint now ap pears to be nn attempt on tho part of those two counties to again repeat this process, and again thrust tho Republicans of Wayne county into the background can be successful only at tho expense of party harmony in tho district and at tho risk of party defeat. For the body of Republican vo ters, not alone in AVuyne but in the other counties of tho district ns well, love to see tho political game played fairly, and will undoubtedly resent a m,unnnrn nt lm methods bv which Wayne has been kept out of how rights for nlrcady more thnn a quarter of a century. As for the Republicans of Wayne county they are awoke and they aro determined. They feel thnt no more opportune time hns come or will .nin for tiieni to Insist on long delayed justice to their county. They are united as never before. They have named as their candidate for Congress a man whoso quallllcatlons for tho position no one will pretend to dispute, who Is well known, not only in his county and district hut throughout tho State as well, who will make in every respect, an ideal candidate, and they intend to support 1dm with a vigor and enthusiasm which will count much nnd weigh large, whatever aspect may develop In tho situation. And it is not at all beyond our hope or expectation that our Republican brethren of the other counties in tho district, together with their leaders of party" thought and action, will ho so Impressed by lie absolute Justice and equity of our claim, that our right in the matter will ho conceded without even tho formality of a contest. Tills would not only bo good politics on their part, hut would substantiate tho claim so often made, that tho Republican party Is a party of principle as well as of action. BETHANY.
