Woodward FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 15, 1891. j THE rumors that John J. Brislin is j skulking because of his defeat for the | nomination of Clerk of Courts is in dignantly denied by that gentleman's friends. * The fact that the report was started by a Republican organ is enough to stamp it, ; a falsehood. It is not likely th ; L'ri !in or his friends would resort to such childish work as that. They are Democrats, and the Democratic future in Luzerne is too bright for any one to commit political suicide. IT is stated that Lyman H. Ben nett, who aspires to a position on the bench, has never, during his twenty | years' practice as a crumb-catching | lawyer, pleaded a case in the Court of Quarter Sessions in this county. Grauted that members of the bar possess more tlian the average amount of human gall, Bennett must be awarded the medal for downright audacity. The election of such a man to succeed John Lynch would be the grandest misfit of the season. IT is an indisputable fact that Matt Quay is to-day as much of a leader of the ltepublican party as he ever was. Though he and his man Delamator were routed last fall the party lacked the power to dethrone him. The res pectable element of the organization, and there are a few of that class yet in it, would willingly witness the over throw of this scoundrel, but the main body of the party is too corrupt or cowardly to assist those who have, the independence to rebel against boss rule. They are his slaves and they dance to whatever tune he may play. REI UNUCAX editors and orators are clinging to the tariff with a grip that is impossible to shake off. In their fright they have climed to the top of the old fossil and invite their Demo cratic brethren to follow. Under no consideration will tboy allow them selves to become involved in a discus sion of State affairs. They are mak ing a ridiculous spectacle of the party I by their daily sing-song praises of protection. In the meantime the j Democrats are covering the State j with the records of Republican thiev ing officials and letting national af fairs alone. AVe will give the G. O. I', all the tariff talk it wants in 1892. THE prospects of a Constitutional j Convention are growing smaller as ' election day approaches. Leading 1 organs of both parties are arrayed j against the movement, and if it car- [ ries it will be on account of the indif-1 ference of the general public. The question is one of importance and j should be voted upon by every citizen. The constitution needs revision anil the apathy so noticeable everywhere j is deplorable. No one is more res-1 ponsible for this careless feeling than j the men who clamored the most for a J convention. Powderly and his set, bv their actions and intrigues, have thrown a suspicion on the movement which will certainly defeat it. Judge Lynch. Judge Lynch began the struggle of life as a slate picker. He drove a mule in the mines. He worked during the day at the coal breaker, and studied his book at night. 11l this way, he began to get an education. Then he taught school. All the while he was stuyding law. After years of hard work, he became a lawyer. He was stout and hardy in body, and was full of energy and he suc ceeded as a lawyer from the very first. He has defended scores of men and women in court, and his clients have time after time been rescued from unjust accusations. He has brought and tried in court, scores of cases for workingmen against the corporations, and lie has rarely failed to win his case. Governor Pattison, knowing well John Lynch's ability and integrity appointed him Judge last spring, and the confidence of the Governor iias been justified. John Lynch lias been a good Judge. He lias met every duty and obligation of bis high office, lie knows what the law is, and he has the courage to administer it. His party has now named him for a full term of ten years. He will receive the votes of hundreds of Republicans and independent electors, who know him to he exceptionally competent, and because his integrity and impartiality on the bench have been already abundantly proven. Judge Lynch will bo here all this week, anil his host of friends are cordially invited to meet him. lie is coming here to see and meet with, the people, as is his right and privilege. It is the business of the people, and not of the corporations, to elect the Judge and we believe the people mean to give this business careful attention. In plain, unassuming John Lynch, the learned lawyer, and the honest Judge, they have a candidate that meets and supplies their very need. He is competent, he is honest, he is faithful to the constitution and the laws, and we predict his triumphant election. He will serve the people well—he will be the people's Judge.— Speaker, From an Independent Standpoint. The Democracy of Luzerne County should be happy. The reasons for the party's happines are manifold. First of all the party this year has nominated for the offices of Judge, Prothonotary, I District Attorney, Clerk of the Courts and Jury Commissioner, the strongest and cleanest ticket that could be named. Secondly, the Republicans are fighting among themselves because the will of the people was sneered at and trampled upon by the machine politicians, who so manipulated the convention and nominated men who could be used to best advantage to hangers on around the court house and who are continually looking for good, fat jobs. For the important position of Addi tional Law Judge L. 11. Bennett was nominated—not because lie was the choice of the Republican voters of the county. Oh, no! The rank and file of the party knew him as little as he is know to practice in the open courts of the county. Last year when Edwin short/, was nominated by the Democrats : for President Judge the Republicans had 1 i no campaign card—and that was his I inexperience as a practitioner before the I courts. Mr. Short/, was well-known throughout the county and State as a lawyer of much ability, yet he was defeated because he did not have the experience before the courts. What now, in Heaven's name, will they do to blindfold the people in Bennett's case? Who in this lower end ever heard tell of Bennett, the lawyer, before he sought the important office of Additional Law Judge? Take on the other hand the ability and reputation of Judge Lynch as a lawyer and jurist. That is the man the Republicans are endeavoring to de feat because he is Irish. Christopher Wren was nominated be cause the ollice did not pay him as well as it might, ow ing to a threatened con test with .1. H. Jacobs, fearing to face investigation lest the questionable ma jority he wiped out ami Mr. Jacobs de clared the 1 rothonotary. Mr. Wren, during the lltree years he held the office, has enjoyed a yearly income of at least jti.UOO, and yet the Republicans want to re-eie . him because his office did not : ■ ,:m. Tlie next Prothonotary, let us hope and work for his election, our young townsman, J. C. Wiegand, will receive only about one-half of what Mr. Wren received, and will be well satis fied with this remuneration. Mr. Schwartz, also a townsman, who was given the Hepublican nomination for Clerk of the Courts because the Ben nett faction hoped to get the German vote by giving him a place on the ticket. | If all reports from the upper end be true, Mr. Schwartz and the Germans he will 1 attract to the Republican side of the ! house this year, will be sacrificed to fur ! ther the ends of the party by trading to make sure the election of two of the nominees 011 his ticket. Mr. Schwartz is to be pitied for his folly in allowing his name to be used after once declining to be a candidate for Prothonotary. If he could not be elected Prothonotary he certainly cannot expect to be elected Clerk of the Courts over Lee Stanton, the strongest and most popular Democrat in upper Luzerne. Mr. Stanton, although a staunch Democrat, was twice elected ! Burgess of West l'ittston, the greatest j Republican stronghold in the county. I Mr. Garman, the Democratic nominee j for District Attorney, is meeting with new friends every day. His opponent, W. H. McCartney, is unpopular in his I own party and his nomination, like the I others, will be resented by overwhelm- I ing defeat on Novembers. Mr.Garman, j "red-headed and hopeful," is making ! friends whereever he goes and, though j not making any noise, is doing good work I for the whole ticket, j 111 the face of the excellent candidates on the Democratic ticket, and the slash : ing and discontent in the Republican j ranks, it behooves every Democrat to turn out 011 election day and cast his | vote for the whole ticket, and further, to j see that his neighbor does likewise.— j Hazleton Standard, Jliifterworth ated on Centre Street, above Chestnut, is offered for sale.
