FREELAND, DECEMBER 10, 1895. Dr. Thos. M. Powell lias announced liis withdrawal from the contest for the nomination of poor director on the Re publican ticket. There was nothing the matter with the doctor's boom. lie withdrew in the interest of harmony in liis party. It is about time that the list of names iti the Luzerne jury wheel bo given a thorough revision. Men who have been dead for y< ars, and others who have re moved from the county, are drawn tim< after time with a regularity that shows carelessness somewhere. The movement for late national conventions of the leading political parties next year, which gave so much promise of success, lias fallen flat. The Republicans have decided to meet on June 10 at St. Louis and the Prohibi tionists on May 27 at Pittsburg. The tide is turning. The conservative old city of Boston, which followed tin* crowd into the Republican camp, lias tired of such company and last week it signified its desire to come back to the fold by electing that sterling Demo crat, Josiah Quincy, as its mayor by a handsome majority. Speaker Reed is aiming for the presi dency with all the skill that an astute politician possesses. In tho matter of precedents, history cites two to one against his chances. Polk was the only speaker of the house who became presi dent, while Clay and Blaine were de feated after being nominal" L The :> niiexafcioe -f, \\ or a part <f S ut !i d: v ■ ligation I > ho Board "i 1 rado. j here are some good arguments on both sides and tho THIMM: will cloerfulA giv< space to coiuniuiiicati n> from those wh wisii to give publicity to their opinion? Tom Carter, >f the Republican na tional executive committee, is out with a warning that Republicans must not count too much on a "walk-over" in the next presidential election. It docs look as though they are claiming for theli own a lot of unhatched chickens, espe cially in tho South, hut when the eggs are broken next November the birds will wear Democratic feathers, and Ton Carter knows it. The whirligig of time brings about some queer changes. Ex-Senator Dela mater, whom Paulson defeated for gov ernor in 1890 and who had to leave the state as a bankrupt shortly after, may be the next United States senator from Washington. Ho has made himself popular in his new field, and is spoken of as one of the leading men of Taeoina. Truly this is a great and remarkable country, and no man need give up hope of becoming famous while he resides un der the stars and stripes. Congress, with its tremendous Repub lican majority, has been in session two whole weeks, yet there lias been nothing done to electrify or startle the country in the line of making everybody happy and prosperous, as was claimed would bo done soon as IB publicans took the legislative reins in their hands again. Braggarts know that talk is cheap when votes are wanted, but when it comes i" actions Republican congressmen hav not got the courage to oppose, will, thoir isms, fads and hobbies, the policy laid down for the country by the sturdy occupant of the presidential chair. The man who is willing to make a monkey of himself can always start a sensation in congress that will bring him temporary notoriety. The first to do so this session was Representative Barrett, of Boston, who offered a resolu tion impeaching Ainbas-adr Bayard he cause he had dared to exercise the right of free speech and to criticise the doc trine of protection. The resolution was a new congressman's bid for noto riety pure and simple, and it will never bo reported bad. to the bouse by the committee to which it was referred. In the, short debate which preceded tho reference of the resolution, < x-Speakcr Crisp show *d himself to be in good fight ing trim, liis taunting the Republicans with being afraid to put a protective tarilT bill through the house, notwith standing their immense majority, was a hit and no Republican dared to reply.
