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.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1893.
RAILROAD RIOT.
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.
