CANDIDATES
ARE NAMED
Democrats Place a County
Ticket in the Field.
Martin for Congress, Moore
for Treasurer, Holman for
Register, Schappert and
Finn for Commissioners.
The Democratic county convention at
Wllkesbarro yesterday nominated the
following ticket:
Congress—Thomas R. Martin, Esq.,
Wllkesbarre.
Treasurer—John J. Moore, Plymouth.
Register—James W. Holman, Hazle
ton.
Commissioners—Patrick J. Finn,
Miners Mills; Jacob Schappert, Wllkes
barre.
The first legislative district was given
two nominees, Martin and Schappert;
tho Third, one, Moore; the Fourth, one,
Holman, and tho Fifth, one, Finn.
Tho convention was one of tho most
exciting held by the Democrats In many
years. Tho factional fight between the
two leaders, John M. G&rman and John
T. Lenahan, broke out afrosh and every
point was hotly contested until the work
of the convention was concluded. Tho
slate arranged by tho Lenahanites was
successful.
The candidates for congress were
Thotras R. Martin, Esq., Wllkesbarre,
and ex-Congressman Stanley Davenport,
Plymouth. Tho vote was: Martin, 153;
Davenport, 142.
For treasurer John J. Moore, Ply
mouth, received the nomination without
opposition.
Jaines W. Holman, Ilazleton, and
James P. Brown, Plymouth, wore the
names presented for register of wills.
The vote was: Holman, 159; Brown,
138.
The contest for commissioners had
narrowed down to three In the conven
tion, the applicants for the nomination
being Commissioner Patrick J. Finn,
Minors Mills; Jacob Schappert, Wllkes
barre, and Michael Maycock, Wllkes
barre. The vote was: Finn, 174;
Schappert, 109; Maycock, 138.
The Fourth district was represented
on tho various committees by tho fol
lowing: Contested seats, John J. Mc-
Neils; resolutions, Joseph Boyle; organi
zation, John O'Hara.
The contest from the Fifth ward of
Freeland borough was decided In favor
of Daniel Slattery.
The resolutions adopted wore In ex
cellent spirit, denouncing corruption
and j< bbery in local as well as state and
national affairs; favored measures for
the amelioration of labor and such legis
lation as would bring capital and labor
In closer and more friendly relations,
because both are essential to the pros
perity of the country.
The amendments to the rulos, draft
ed by a special committee appointed
for that purpose last April, were read
and unanimously adopted. The amend
ments are of minor importance; chief of
which is one requring the registration of
all candidates for nomination five days
before tho county convention, such
candidates being required to pay as a
registration feo 1 per cent of the salary
of the office to which he aspires.
When the time came for tho Fourth
district delegates and politicians to
leave to catch the last regular train tho
convention had only begun its work.
Mr. Lenahan notified tho lower coders
that a special train for their accommo
dation would leave for Ilazleton after
the convention had adjourned and this
prevented a stampede.
The special train left Wllkesbarre at
9 o'clock and passed through town at
lip m. The majority of the Freeland
people at tho convention returned home
on this train.

When the meeting was over President

"Tho coal strike was informally discuss
ed. Reports from tho collieries show
that tho strike is generally disintegrat

ing the meeting with J. F. Morgan,
John Marklo made this statement: "I
do not think It necessary to repeat that
all talk of concessions on the part of the
operators is f lolisl;, and certainly with
out foundation. Our position now Is
tho samo as when Mitchell made his
original propositions, and no different
than when tho strike began. We have
defined our position and will maintain
It."

Federation of Labor, reached Wllkes
barro yesterday and shortly thereafter

ticipate with President Mitchell, Secre

COMMUNICATED.
Freeland, Fa., September 15.
Editor Tribune. —In your issues of
the 3d and Bth Inst, there appeared
communications concerning the action
of Mr. Anton Ambrozl, president of tho
National Slavonic Society of America,
in protesting to the secretary of the
treasury, against admitting free of duty
the national flag of Austro-Hungary,
which was bought by the officials of
said government. The last letter of the
reverend gentlemen, Messrs. Pajdusak
and Housor in conjunction with Mr.
Krcmery, I have no wish to criticize,
as it expressed tho views of nearly all
tho Slavonians in this country, but I do
take exceptions to the first letter
penned by one who signs himself Joseph
Uhlar and who takes the responsibility
of being the first defender of the action
of tho Austro-Hungary diplomats who
are trying to estrange tho Slovak citi
zens of the United States from that
erab em of liberty, the stars and stripes.
In reading Mr. Uhlar's letter 1 was
led to infer that he is no American citi,
zen, although he enjoys blessings under
the stars and stripes such as he nevor
enjoyed under tho flag of Austro-llun
gary, and as lie says there is nothing for
a Magyar to protest against tho admitt
ance of the llag without duty.
To the European it is a well known
fact, often demonstrated, that the Mag
yar is the wiliost of all diplomats, and
the present move in presenting tho cost
ly flag to the Hungarian race In this
country at tho present time is a move
where they will extract money from tho
Slavonians by the wiley Magyars who
are at tho head of tho National Loaguo
of Hungary, an organization that every
adopted or naturalized Hungarian knows
that its preamble to be foreign to Ameri
can institutions.
Mr. Uhlar also states, and he is
authority (?) that Mr. Ambrozi has for
feited tho honor of his native country,
and I would like to ask If every foreigner
who lived In a country governed by a
king or queen didn't lose the respect of
the said kings and queens whon he took
the oath of ailegienco to the United
States?
He also states that "Mr. Ambrozi
doesn't respect any flag" and to that I
take exceptions and only ask any Ameri
can citizon if he considers Mr. Ambrozi
a good citizen or not, and tho answer
will be yes, unless ho wan to ask a Mag
yar of Mr. Uhlar's mold.
Mr. Uhlar not only forfeits the opin
ion of the Slavonians and tho majority
of the Magyars, but the respect as well.
Mr. Ambrozi proves by his action in
protesting against tho flag, and in plac
ing in tho hands of tho officials of the
United States a secret document men
tioned in today's Tribune written by the
same Magyars, that ho is not only a
citizen to be proud of but a patriot as
well.
In closing I would like to suggest to
Mr. Uhlar to read history and not re
peat the fireside yarn about Svatupluk
trading Slovak territory for a nice white
horse with a rod bridle, as he did in his
letter of the 3d inst.
Thanking you kindly in advance for
the valuable space that this will take in
your paper, I am, respectfully,
George Iludack.
New Trial Is Awarded.
Judge Archbald, of Lackawanna
county, has made absoluto the rule
asked by tho defense in tho famous case
of F. M. Thornton, of Wllkesbarre, vs. a
fire insurance company, and awarded a
new trial. Tho opinion was brief and
emphasized particularly the duties of
the insured regarding the saving of pro
perty during the fire. Follcies invari
ably stipulate that reasonablo effort
must bo made to save undamaged prop
erty, and in tho ruling of Judgo Arch
baid, whore it is shown that the proper
ty owner made littlo or no effort to
separate damaged goods from undamag
ed, tho owner is guilty of a breach of
contract.
The hearing in the case will occur in
the federal court on the third Monday
In October. Damages to tlie amount of
$4,500 were awarded by the jury at the
last session of court. Thornton,
through his attornoys, sued for SO,OOO
for the destruction of his library and
furniture. The opinion of the judge iu
awarding a new trial is in part as
follows:
It was provided by tho policy in suit
that "If fire occurs tho insured shall
protect tho property from further dam
age and forthwith separato tho dam
aged from the undamaged personal
property and put it in the best possible
order." There was evidence from which
the jury might havo found 'that this
was not observed by tho plaintiff in the
present instance, and the court was,
therefore, requested to chargo in the
defendant's third point that if he had
failed in his duty lie was not entitled to
recover. The court affirmed the duty
but deuiod the result claimed.
