THE SLATE NOMINATED.
REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION
NAMES ITS CANDIDATES.
Fell Renominated for District Attorney,
Llewellyn Renominated for I'rothono
tary, Boons Again for Clerk of Court*'
Office, Moore for Jury CouimiMHloner.
The Republican county convention
was hold at Wilkesbarre on Tuesday.
Tho following ticket was nominated:
District attorney, Daniel A. Fell,Wilkcs
barrc; prothonotary, George J. Llewel
lyn, Plymouth; clerk of courts, Walter
B. Koons, Wilkesbarre; jury commis
sioner, James W. Moore, Slocum town
ship.
The convention was the most harmoni
ous held by the party for some years
past. The ticket nominated was slated
by the leaders, and though strong efforts
were made to break the combination the
attempt failed. A stiff light was waged
against the nominees on the ground
that a ticket composed of office-holders
would be a weak one to place before the
voters, but this argument failed to In
fluence the delegates. Fell and Llewel
lyn are at present occupying the offices
for which they are nominated, while
Koons was until recently chief clerk of
the office to which he aspires.
After the convention organized with
C. L Wilde as chairman, the contest
from the third district of Freeland bor
ough was considered. It was decided in
favor of (ienero Bononio, who was given
the seat claimed by A. L. Riley.
When the preliminary business of the
convention was disposed of, the nomina
tions for district attorney were received.
George Urquhart named I). A. Fell and
Daniel Kline placed J. M. Carr's name
before the delegates. Both speeches
were very good. Charles E. Keck, who I
had been a candidate until Tuesday
morning, occupied some time explaining
why lie withdrew. When the balloting
began the tendency appeared to be
towards Fell, and before tho roll-call
was completed Mr. Carr withdrew and
Fell was given tho nomination by accla
mation.
For prothonotary there were three
names presented, as follows: George J.
Llewellyn, of Plymouth; E. (). Kom
inorer, of Wilkesbarre, and William P.
.lames, of llazlcton. Llewellyn won on
the first ballot by the following vote:
Llewellyn 217
James 42
Kom merer 31
The next office, that of clerk of courts,
was easily filled. The present incum
bent. J. L. Wagner, decided not to enter
the race, and Walter B. Koons was
nominated by acclamation.
The usual scramble for jury commis
sioner ensued when the nominations
were opened for that officii. The follow
ing entered the race: James W. Moore,
Slocum township; Harrison Nesbitt.
Larksvillo; William Millham, Wilkes
barre; Thomas Carter, Plymouth; Law
son Colman, Wilkesbarre; Thomas G.
Lloyd, Edwardsvillo; A. C. Watson, Dur
yea; W. L. lliggs, Wilkesbarre; Daniel
W. Reese, Plymouth; 1). W. Shafer,
Laurel Run; Carlisle Brown, Yatesville;
Charles Arvidson, Parsons; E. A. Mor
gan, Wilkesbarre. Four ballots were
necessary before a choice was made.
The vote ou each was as follows:
Moore 77 74 107 127
Carter .42 55 77 105
lliggs 58 61 02
Arvidson 14 14
Morgan 17 10
Shaffer 14 10
Watson 9 7
Lloyd 14 4
Reese 10 4
Millham 4 4
Nesbitt 9
Brown 7
Colman 7
The resolutions adopted endorse the
St. Louis platform, as well as the plat
form adopted at llarrisburg. denounce
President Cleveland for the abuse of the
civil service law and endorse the ad
ministration of President. McKinley.
Thanks are extended to Congressman
Williams for the interest shown in the
welfare of his constiutents. Senators
Quay and Penrose are extended thanks
for the interest they have taken to se
cure a public building for Wilkesbarre.
The actions of State Senators Scott and
Vaughn and Representatives Roberts,
Coray, Miller, Powell and Riley in the
last legislature were indorsed.
The support of the party was pledged
to tho state ticket and the county candi
dates, and Hon. John Leisenring's can
didacy for governor received a hearty
endorsement. The resolutions deplore
the present conflict between labor and
capital in various parts of the state and
hope that some plan may be adopted to
speedily adjust all trouble.
Arrangements were made to fill vacan
cies that may occur on the ticked, and
to establish permanent headquarters for
the party at tho county scat.
The Republican Ticket.
From the Wilkesbarre Newsdealer.
The ticket nominated by the Luzerne
county Republicans on Tuesday is not
a strong one by any means. Three
years ago when the first touch of the
hard times was felt in tho valley 1). A.
Fell was elected district attorney over
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1897.
that popular barrister, P. A. O'Boylo.
Everybody conceded that Mr. O'Boylo
was tho man for the place, hut lie was
carried down to defeat by the swift cur
rent which was then running against
tho Democratic party. Under the cir
cumstances it made no difference who
his opponent was, lie was bound to be
elected. Mr. Fell was fortunate enough
to secure the Republican nomination
and his election followed, lie was the
creature of good luck, as it were.
But, like most men, Mr. Fell loves
power. A taste of public office has fill
ed him with a desire for more, and more
lie will have if it is in the wood. But
he is not going to have the free, sailing
he had in the campaign of 1894. Then
lie was on the defensive. Now lie will
have to assume an aggressive position.
He will have to give tho voters an
account of his stewardship for the past
three years and toll them on what
ground lie expects another lease of of
ficial life. Will he be able to convince
the voters of Luzerne county that IK; IS
entitled to a second term? We think
not. He has been tried and found want
ing. The next district attorney will be
a Democrat.
George Llewellyn, tho nominee for
prothonotary, was swept into office with
Fell on the Republican tidal wave throe
years ago. lie lias not given satisfac
tion in his office. Charges have been
repeatedly made, and not contradicted,
that the office is run in a slipshod man
ner. Controller Lloyd is now supposed
to be at work investigating some of the
charges made. As weak as Fell is,
Llewellyn is still weaker.
The throw down of Wagner for Koons
will bo resented by the former's friends.
If Fell and Llewellyn were entitled to a
renomination, so was Wagner. The
latter administered tho affairs of his
office witli ability and good judgment.
If merit counted for anything, then Mr.
Wagner was deserving of better treat
ment at tlie hands of the convention.
One of tho strongest men who could
have been named for jury commissioner
—Ed. A. Morgan—was ignored. That
will not help tlie ticket, either.
On the whole we think the ticket is
a weak one and if tlie Democrats nomi
nate fairly strong men at their conven
tion on Tuesday next they ought not to
have tlie least trouble in defeating it.
Democratic Statu Convention.
The Democratic state convention was
hold at Reading on Tuesday. By a vote
of 290 to 124 W. F. Ilarrity was deposed
from the national committee, and Colo
nel Jrtmes M. (ItilTey, of Pittsburg, was
selected to fill the vacancy. The con
vention was a spirited one at tho morn
ing session and turbulence and disorder
was tlie rule.
The trouble in the morning grew out
of an attempt made by tlie Ilarrity fol
lowers, led by John T. Lcnalian, to
wrest control of tlie convention from the
legally-elected officers. An organized
raid was made on the platform and
several free fights ensued. The Read
ing police finally quelled the disturbers
and most of tho rioters were hustled out.
The Philadelphia gold bugs aro credit
ed with sending tlie turbulent element
to tlie convention, in order to disrupt
the party. Democrats everywhere are
olated at tlie signal failure of the Phila
delphia gang to control the proceedings.
W. E. Ritter, of Lycoming county,
was nominated for auditor general, and
M. E. Brown, of Indiana county, for
state treasurer. The ticket is consider
ed a strong one, and stands squarely
upon the Chicago platform, with state,
issues added.
Tho only flutter of the proceedings in
the afternoon was tlie report of the com
mittee on resolutions, in which was a
plank affirming tlie action of tlie execu
tive committee and the statu central
committee in deposing Ilarrity. A
Philadelphia!! offered a minority report
which created much disorder and confu
sion. After order was restored it was
agreed between both sides to take a vote
on the substitution of the minority re
port, the vote to settle tho adoption of
the resolutions or their rejection. It
was beaten, 290 to 124.
The Harrityites accepted their defeat
sullenly. They were fooled on the vote
in Philadelphia and Allegheny. In tint
former city 23 delegates out of 04 voted
against the deposed loader and in Alle
gheny 18 out of 28. They had figurod
on solid delegations for Ilarrity from
both. The Luzerne delegates voted 10
for Ilarrity and 7 against.
Dcafncs* Cannot bo Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach tho diseased portion of the ear.
There is only ono wu v to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of tlie mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have n rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is I lie result, and un
less the inflamation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrah, which is nothing hut an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot he cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Kend for circulars, free.

Tiofao- y?
School Hoard Meeting-
The borough school board met last
evening with Messrs.McCarthy,Sweeney,
Tirnony .Johnson and Ferry present,
•fohn M. Carr, Esq., on behalf of the
Iluiumelstown Hrownstone Company,
notified the board that Contractor Hlebo
owed SI,OOO on account of the stone
which was furnished for the Daniel
Coxe school. President McCarthy claim
ed that the part of the contract relating
to the stone work was not fulfilled by
Mr. Itiobe and advised that at least 15
per cent of the amount due on stone
work be retained. The board adopted
the suggestion.
The following bills were ordered paid:
THIBUNK, printing notices, 50c; William
Birkbeck, supplies, 00c; John Murrin,
labor, 81. A bill from the Kress Station
ary Company was laid over.
Messrs. Sweeney and Ferry were ap
pointed a committee to purchase a llag
for the Danfel Coxe school.
It was decided to purchase two acad
emic and eight high school Webster
dictionaries at $1.20 and 78c each from
the American Hook Co. Ha/en readers
and Hull arithmetics (J. 11. Butler & Co.)
were ordered for South Heberton school.
Sanders readers are to be used in the
old borough as supplementary reading.
One dozen each of Washington Irving's
classical books and Oliver Coldstuitlfs
poems, to cost slo'.oß (Leach, Shewed Sc
Sanborn Co.), were ordered for the
highest grade.
The board decided to meet the teach-
I ers Friday evening, when copybooks
and spellers will bo submitted for exami
nation and arrangements made for the
classification of the pupils.
The board will moot again on Monday
evening.
A large number of sample books left
in the Eckley B. Coxe school by several
book agents recently have disappeared.
The building can be entered through
the windows, and it Is thought the
thieves secured ontranco in that man
ner, as the doors did not appear to have
been touched.
StatUH of tlio Strike.
The striking employes of VanWickle
fc Co., at Coloraine, are still out. They
have refused to accept tho proposition
submitted to them by Superintendent
Roderick and are determined that opera
tions shall not be resumed until all their
grievances are adjusted. At Milncsville
the men agreed last night to go to work,
a compromise having been effected by
the officials and the men. An advance
in wages was granted to laborers and
breaker hands, and the company butcher
and company store questions were laid
over until the head of the firm roturns
home. It is believed tho Coloraine men
will march again on Milnesvillo and
shut it down.
On account of the slowness of the Lu
ll igh and Wilkesbarre officials in investi
gating the complaints of the employes,
the men became suspicious, and on
Monday work was stopped again at all
of the company's South Side collieries.
Several conferences have been held
since, but a settlement has not yet been
reached. The situation is becoming
serious for this company, as the men
are gradually growing bitter against
the officials for their apparent laxity in
considering the grievances.
There is some talk that the strike
may spread to this side in a short while,
but nothing definite can bo given.
Alien Tax Law Muddle.
The Philadelphia llccord on Tuesday
contained the following: "Tho Lehigh
Valley Coal Company has taken the
initiative stops under the decision of
Judge Ac boson, and today it posted at
all Its collieries notice to the effect that
it will discontinue making alien tax law
collections from its employes. The
notices add that at tin* next pay day the
company will refund deductions that
were made from wages of the taxable
employes for July .and the first half of
August."
In reply to a correspondent, the Phila
delphia Times states that "Judge Ache
son's decision that the alien tax law is
unconstitutional does not affect any
case except the one in which the decision
was rendered. The law will be enforced
until the supreme court of the state
decides it unconstitutional "
Temperance Parade Declared Oil'.
At a meeting of the board of govern
ment of the Scranton C. T. A. Union
this week, it was agreed to declare the
annual parade off this year. The union
had decided to parade at Ilazlcton on
Father Mathew Day, October in, but
owing to tho board of government being
unable to arrange satisfactory rates for
the societies over the Lehigh Valley
Railroad there will be no parade.
