DEFEAT STARES REPUBLICANS Leaders Concede the County to the Democrats. Inner Circles of the Machine Have Abandoned All Hope of Electing Their Candi dates Next Tuesday. Defeat, hopeless defeat, stares the leaders of the Republican machine in Luzerne county, and the word lias gone out from Republican headquarter" that each candidate on the machine-made ticket Is to do what he pleases to save himself. In making this statement the Tribuno is not giving publicity t > any expression of opinion from some of the candidates' opponents to whom the wish would be father to the thought. We give it as an actual fact —a matter of news—after having had it verified through sources which permit of no further doubt of its reliability. In the inner circles of Luzerne Re publicans three of the county candi dates aro considered hopelessly defeated. These men are Mayor Nichols, candi date for judge; Arthur Dick, candidate for controller, and Jonathan Davis, can didate for sheriff. In the eyes of the loaders the battle to be fought next Tuesday Is over, so far as these men aro concerned, and the formality of rolling up and counting the majorities recorded against them Is now only a detail which the election officers will perform. The Republican leaders will not admit tin? defeat of Messrs. Ilolcomb and Blehl, as they hold in their sleeves a "last card'' which they propose playing in the interest of these two on Monday evening and Tuesday morning. This "winning card,'' as they term it, is one of the old-time roorbacks which none but the unscrupulous men who are backing Hoicouib and Hiehl would stoop to make use of, but, unless their man hood soon obtains control of their judg ment, they proposo to play the game to tho end, foolishly hugging the delusion that their schemes are fostered in secret and unknown to the Democrats and in dependent Republicans. However, the Democrats aro ready to meet any move which tho Luzerne machine dare make, and are prepared to counteract any reaction which "last cards" might produeo. Through their literary bureau at tho county seat, the county committee Is endeavoring to bolster up courago among the thick-and-Lhin party men, in the hope that something may yet happen to alter tho present condition of affairs. Their desperation is shown in the character of tho mattrr their organs are asked to publish. Feeling that tho fusion movement has sounded the death knoll of the state machine, they are ready to sacrifice all elso to save the county nominees from the onslaughts of au outraged public. Among the Democrats who are ac quainted with political conditions this year there is a feeling of confidence which is founded on bed-rock estimates. Private assurances from men who stand high in Republican circles and who here tofore have been the obedient servants of the courthouse clique give sufficient evidence of tho trend of public senti ment to show that one of tho greatest revolts in tho history of the county is duo on Tuesday. The Fusion candidates on tho stato ticket, Messrs. Coray and Yorkes, aro counted upon to sweep Luzerne by at least 8,000 majority. Some of their sup porters claim that 10,000 is a more rightful figure to give them. On the county ticket it is a question whether Freas for judge or McLean for controller will lead. There is a friend ly rivalry among them to see which can give his opponent the greater defeat. Jocobs for sheriff will surprise tho county and may lead all his colleagues. He will at least go into office witli tho largest majority given a sheriff in recent years. Barrett for recorder and Dr. Bergo for coroner aro safe beyond all doubt, in spite of the nefarious schemes which are being hatched to injure them on the eve of election. Both of their op ponents are pets of the Quay contingent in this county, and the "gang" lias Inti mated that their nominees will be elect ed if vote-buying, vote-stealing, trading and lying can accomplish their object. ANDREW M. FREAS. Of all tho members of the Luzerne county bar no man is better fitted for the office, of orphans' court judge than Andrew M. Freas. He Is in the prime ol lite, with an abundance ot health uud FREELAND, PA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1001. strength, mentally, morally and Intel lectually equipped to make an Ideal judge. He came to the bar a poor young man, without either wealth or influential friends. There is scarcely any branch of the law in which he has not had experience in the course of his very active practice, and no lawyer or jurist in this county has keener percep tion or more ready grasp of complicated legal points. He has resorted to nothing but what Is honorable in this tight, and if elect ed. as he will be, ho will give an honest administration. It is for the voters to choose between such a man and Mayor Nichols, who Is resorting to despicable means to win him votes. lie is sailing along under the Prohibition banner, hop ing to gain votes by hoodwinking the ignorant who know but little of the cilibre of the man who Is asking their support for orphans' court judge. Von who want reform in politics, vote for Andrew M. Froas for judge, as against the practical politician. AI.IIKKT 11. JACOBS. CANDIDATE FOB SHERIFF. Albert 11. Jacobs, the candidate for sheriff, Is one of the foremost young Germans In Hazleton. The working men in tho Fourth district are almost solidly united in his favor, and he will carry this district by not less than 2,000 majority. He Is a business man of good standing in Ilazleton, where he was born and raised, and no man enjoys tho conlidonco and esteem of the people In the same degree that he does. He possesses the business quaillications, and intelligence, necessary for the suc cessful conduct of that ollice, and his administration of affairs will bo noted for skill and ability. Mr. Jacobs possesses a very large ac quaintance in the vicinity of his home, and is universally liked and esteemed. As a neighbor and good citi/.en he is in the first rank, and the vote he will re ceive in the Fourth district will attest his standing and popularity. Mr. Jacobs has tho support of tho conservative business men of tho county. Republicans as well as Democrats, and the friends of Mr. Coray, Fusion candi date for state treasurer, will also give him their votes. Ilis opponent, Mr. Davis, is handicapped in being the can didate of the courthouse ring, a small clique who are running politics after j the fashion of Quay iu the state. GEORGE R. M'r.KAN. There is no partisan politics in elect- 1 ing a man who Is honest and upright to I the controller's ollice. The exposes that j have been made connecting the com missioners 1 and controller's ollice with payment of excessive and questionable bills, both of which ollicesaro controlled by the Republicans, has satisfied voters and taxpayers of the importance of having a man with an honest backbone in that ollice. Farty lines are wiped out so far as tin; controller light goes, and tho people are earnest in supporting and demanding the election of an honest man, one who wlil not bo bribed, who will not bo sub missive, who will not violate his oath of ollice. This man Is George McLean, and he is supported not only by his own party, but by thousands of zealous Republi cans, who believe Implicitly that he will be the honest guardian of tho taxpayers' interest if elected to that ofiieo. The Republican who votes for Coray because ho represents honesty and in tegrity, and they are legion, will vote for George McLean on precisely the same grounds. On the other hand there Is not a single Democratic business man giving bis support to Dick. His nomination was the result of fraud conceived by the machine, and no solid business in terests anywhere are given him their support, lie is owned by the machine and his election would mean pillage for the "gang." DR. \V. 11. BERGE. Dr. VV. H. lierge, the Democratic can didate for coroner, Is a self made man. lie is ol German parentage aud in his early life worked in the mines in Lacka wanna county. He became a nurse in the Lackawanna county hospital, and by his industry and frugality saved enough out of his earnings to carry him through college, lie graduated from the Haiti more Medical college and is now a resi dent of Avoea. Tho pleasing personality of Dr. Rergo ought to make him the greatest of vote getters. His frank, open manner, to gether with his high standing, both as a man and physician, cannot fail to have a good effect. His appearance in dicates the honest, upright man, and it is safe to set down that IT he is success ful at the polls the office will be ably and honestly managed by him. .JAMES BARItBTT. James Barrett, the candidate for re corder, was born and raised in this county, in the township of Newport, where lie now resides. His entire life has been one of labor in and about the mines since his childhood. In the com munity where ho lives and Is best known there is no one but speaks in the high est terms of ins honesty and manliness. Newport township, one of the largest and most populous in this county, will cast almost a solid vote in favor of Mr. Barrett. Mr. Barrett has always been the steadfast friend of the miner. Being one of their number and sharing with them the dangerous toil of tho mine lie always felt that tho workman should at all times be encouraged in his efforts to better his condition. He is a self educated man who lias by his energy, industry und hcrfiesty worked himself into the good will und favor of liis fel low citizens irrespective of party. In his tour throughout the county with liis fellow candidates on the ticket, ho has been warmly received and will beyond question be successful at the polls. Every workingman in the county should vote for .lames Barrett. His election will elevate to office a man who will give his whole time and attention to the duties required of him, and he will be a credit to the brawn and muscle of tho county. RELIGIOUS.
