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.
