THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION.
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.

Candidate for Prothonotary
TO THE REPUBLICANS OF WAYNE COUNTY.
Pursuant to the requests of my many friends in the county and
tho general understanding three years ago that I should again offer
myself as a candidate for the nomination for Prothonotary at tho com
ing primaries, Sept. 30th, I would
state that after a short start by
way of an education In tho public
schools of Wayne county, I com
pleted a course at the A. M. Chls
bro Seminary In Monroe county, N.
Y. My post-graduate course was
about thirty years in the school
of hard knocks as a farmer and
lumberman In Wayne county.
Have met many people in the var
ied relations of a business man
and this long experience has en
abled me to meet many whom I
esteem as friends and gain at
least enough knowledge to appre
ciate the needs and requirements
of my fellow man.
My aim has steadily been to
deal honestly, frankly and fairly
with all and to dearly cherish all
of our country's institutions, and
to encourage and assist every
true effort to maintain and ad
vance them. I invite the fullest
Investigation of my record and
with pleasure refer you to tho ex
pression given at the polls by my WALLACE J. BARNES,
home district three years ago as indicative of the feelings of those who
knew me best. Although always a resident and large taxpayer in
Wayne county, I never asked for office except on the aforementioned
occasion when I was defeated by M. J. Hanlan who, though opposed to
me, never, to my knowledge, said or did anything detrimental to me.
"I therefore earnestly request your support and promise If nominated
and elected to faithfully perform the duties of the office to the very
host of my ability and in all things observe the spirit of the Golden
Rule.
Faithfully Yours,
WALLACE J. BARNES.
