F REEL AND TRIBUNE. VOL. VI. No. 19. A QUIET CONVENTION. DEMOCRATS FAIL TO EXHIBIT THE EXPECTED BATTLE. McGarry and Davenport Nominated for TreaHiirer and Register Without Oppo sition—Ruy for Controller, and Dullard and McGraw for Commissioner*. The Democratic convention at Wilkes- Barre on Tuesday was a very quiet gathering in comparison to the meetings held there in past years, and the harmo nious manner in yhich the business of the day was done was a disappointment to the people who went to the county seat expecting to see "war." It becauio apparent on Monday evening that Mc- Garry for treasurer would have from 15 to 20 of a majority over Alexander, and at the same time Brislin could be nom inated for register by at least 30 of a majority. With this state of affairs existing the leaders were in a plight. It would be committing suicide for the whole ticket to nominate both McGarry and Brislin, and after numerous conferences and efforts to bring enough strength to either Bide to put through the combination ticket Brislin concluded to withdraw. This move, which was made at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, also took Alexander from the field, and in the interest of harmony and to avoid dissensions at the general election the way was left clear tor the McGarry ticket. For the second time within three years Brislin sacrificed his ambitions for tho good of the party. A brief session of the convention was held in the forenoon when the various committees were appointed and prepar ations made for the afternoon session, which met at 2 o'clock with Hon. Asa li. Bruodage as chairman.. After a spirited address by the chairman the committees tendered their reports to the convention. A number of contested seats were amicably settled and a set of reso lutions adopted. Following are the resolutions: We, the representative* of the Democratic party of Luzerne county, renewing our pledges of loyalty to those well-known Democratic principles which assure the greatest liberty in local sell-government and the greatest free dom and success to individual effort In com merce and industry—principles without an ob servance of which no government of t lie peo ple and for the people can long endure hereby resolve: Fi.-st. At this time, when the soil, the mine and the workshop have given forth their pro duce plentifully to enrich all our people in every part of the laud, we see clearly in the clouds that threaten present broadcast linun cial disaster, the natural results often foretold by our party leaders, of that long-continued evil and corrupt legislation and extravagant administration of national ntliiirs accomplished by a congress ami an executive wholly repre sentation of the Republican party. That party has squandered hundreds of millions of dollars which a Democratic administration hud accu mulated iu the national treasury, as a surplus and an indication of prosperity, wealth and comfort in the country's business, and lias left on retiring from power 011 the fourth day of last March, as its legacy to the present iuiminis tration. a bankrupt treasury, disordered com merce ami a tinancial condition unsupported by the confidence of our own citizens or of other nations. Second. Tho people of the Unitcd Stat _'B look with unfaltering trust to the brave, urftiriug and conservative man who stands by tho vote of the Democratic masses at the head of the governmen . Grovcr Cleveland entering- upon office when the flood tide of our wealth had by bad laws and by a weak executive lor a long time been directed toward the shores of Europe, at a time, too, when the reserve in tho national treasury laid been so reduced that the coun try's credit seemed to be fatally impaired, in live months by wisdom, iirudenee ami by the strength of his leadership has reversed the cur rent of gold and hus restored the treasury to health. Third. We demand the immediate ami un conditional repeal <f the silver purchasing clause of the act of congress of IK9O known us the Sherman law; we demand legislation that will assure u safe. Hound and sullleient cur rency of gold and of silver and paper of equal exchangeable value with gold, and wo oom lucud the course of our representative iu con gress, Hon. W. H. Hines, upon this issue. Fourth. We c'cniund that reform of the tariff which without fear or favor shall place the industries of the land on a healthful and self-reliant basis remote from' Die dangers of political and partisuu interference and we con fide II mi I > in the charaeter am! conservatism of the president and congress to achieve this oft-repeated promise. Filth. We commend the faithful administra tion of the state affairs by the present gover nor of this commonweultli, Hon. Robert E. Puttisou ami his advisers. Sixth. We invite the attention of all the citi zens of Luzerne county to the character of the men whom we shall this day nominate and re commend them to the voters at the ensuing election as eapuble and worthy of confidence on tho part of our citizens. Resolved, That the Democracy of Luzerne county heartily endorse the candidacy of T. M. Conn iff, Esq., for the position of collector of internal revenue for the twelfth district of Pennsylvania and tliat we earnestly request President Cleveland to appoint him to that of fice. Luzerne county is the largest, most cen tral and most pop* lons county of tho district, paying nearly or quite one-half of Die revenue we submit in all candor that wo believe he is entitled to this appointmen . We present in our candidate, Mr. Conniff, a clean, tried and true Democrat, a man of edu cation and Integrity, sterling personal charac ter ami excellent business qualifications. He is in every way eminently capable of fulfilling the duties of the position. For treasurer Roger McGarry, of AVilkes-Barre, and W. Murray Alexan der, of Hanover township, were named, hut the latter was withdrawn and Mc- Garry's nomination made unanimous. Stanley W. Davenport, of Plymouth, was without opposition for register of wills and he was nominated by acclama tion upon a motion made by John J. Brislin. The first fight of the convention was for controller, and tlio result was a sur prise. The candidates were Sam W. Boyd, of AVilkes-Barre, and James AV. Ray, of AA'hite Haven, tho latter polling 139 votes to Boyd'B 95. Nine Democrats aspired to the office of commissioner. Their names and resi dences and the votes received on first ballot were; Thomas M. Dullard, Wilkcs-Barro 156 Thomas MoGraw. lteach Haven 104 Edward Burke, Pittstoti 94 John Helferty, Hazleton 37 Daniel Mulligan, Laurel Run 29J JacobGuttendorf, vVilkcs-Barre 20i Joseph Rittmyer, Wilkos-Barre YA John J. Curry, Plains 10 James Farroll, Wilkea-Barre 3 Dullard, having received a majority of the votes cast, was declared one of the nominees, and after dropping tho three lowest candidates the second bal lot began. It had proceeded but a short while when Ilelferty's name was with drawn and McGraw commenced forging ahead to such an extent tliat his nomi nation was agreed to by acclamation by the delegates. For county auditors several names were offered, and the selection of the convention was John F. Neary, of Fitts ton, and W. E. Bennett; of Wilkes- Barre. The ticket in this section is considered strong, both individually and as a whole, and the candidates are eminently quali fied for the offices to which they will be elected. Mr. McGarry is a gentlemen who has the confidence of the people of all parties where he is best known—at his homo, and his work in the past will insure him the united support of the Democratic party. Mr. Davenport is a rising young attorney in whose hands the registership will be carefully and properly attended to. His profession as an experienced accountant and book keeper makes Mr. Kay an excellent candidate for the office of controller and and he will be the first man in Luzerne county to fill tho position. The commissioners, Dullard and Mc- Graw, are well-known to the majority of tho voters. The former, during his past term in that office, has worked earnestly and faithfully for the interests of the whole people, and his efforts and suc cess in reducing the miners'and labor ers' taxes will be rewarded by returning him with a good majority. With the farming element Mr, McGraw isexceed ingly popular and no better companion could be selected to run with Mr. Dul lard. Both men deserve the vote of every Democrat in order to place the commissioners' office in control of the leading party of the county. The audi tors, Messrs. Neary and Bennett, are first-class men and will go through on election day with the rest of the ticket. The manly action of John Brislin in the convention after his withdrawal as a candidate captured the admiration of the candidates. Mr. Brislin was un questionably the strongest man witli the delegates but his combination with Alex ander was not approved by them. When Brislin discovered he could not carry Alexander with him he manfully refused to go on the ticket without him. —Newmlealer. Sons of America Officers.

Traction Company and Cltlzous Quarrel and Two Men Arc Killed. The little town of Gilberton, a few miles north of Pottsville, was the Bcene of fatal rioting Tuesday night, in which two people were killed and several wounded. The killed are: James Parfitt, of Gilberton, miner, aged 25. William Holland, of Gilberton, aged 19. The wounded are: ltichard Amour, Shenandoah, aged -12, wounded in left breast and left thigh; believed to be fatally injured. Evan Davis, Gilberton, shot through right leg. William Connors, Gilberton, aged 19, shot in body and foot. John J. Briggs, Girardville, special officer, Bhot in leg and head. James Holihan, Gilberton, wounded on forehead by stone. The riot occurred where tho electric road turns into the main street. The Schuylkill Traction Company had se cured the right of way through Gilber ton, but they were to go up Gilbert street. The company took its own way and ran the line out Main street. The street was left in a very bad condition, the space between the tracks being filled in with large stones and the edges on each side were dangerous to wagons. The council repeatedly notified the com pany to put their road-bed in good con dition, but no heed was taken of the notices. Finally, council decided to give one more notice and warn the company that if the tracks were not put in good condition they would bo torn up. Tho company paid no attention to this and council put a force at work and 200 feet of track were torn up. In tho meantime word had reached the head quarters of the company at Ashland. Officer Amour, who gathered a posse of men from along the valley, Superinten dent Jones and Attorney Wilheltn accompanied the special officers, who were on the car following the construc tion car, which contained employes of the company who were to relay tho track. When Gilberton was reached Burgess Holihan was on duty to see that no attempt was made by the company to replace the track. The burgess stood firm and refused to permit the company's men to go to work. A crowd of boys had gathered around the car and as it was about to move off began to taunt the officers. John Briggs, formerly a motorman, but then acting as a special, rushed out of the car with a rifle and revolver and fired into tho crowd. James Parfitt, who was an onlooker, was seen to drop on the road. Evan Davis and ltichard Connors were also shot. T. Mahoney, a barber, grabbed the barrel of Briggs' gun and held it. It is supposed that at this time Arthur Whewell, of Girardville, a special officer, also shot and that it was his bullet which entered the body of William Holland, who wnß sitting on the steps of a hotel. Holland was picked up and carried to his home and died shortly after. Parfitt was carried to his home and died within an hour. After the riot subsided warrants were Hworn out for the arrest of Briggs and Whewell, two of the specials, on the charge of murder, and also for the arrest of Amour, Superintendent Jones, of the Traction Company, and Macllenry Wilheltn, counsel for the company, who accompanied Jones and the employes of the company to Gilberton.
