THE BARGAIN IS PURSUANCE OF wHIcu ORR WAS
ApPoINrED-sCRANroN's VOTE FOR KEIFER.
The Wilkesbarr, Record prints the follow
ing editorial ON the removal of Postmaster
Smith and the appointment of Albert }. Orr
as part of the bargain which induced Con-
gresham Scranton TO vote for Kcifcr for
speaker Of the ITousci
Whether the post Office Of Wilkcsbarrc
was filed by man who had no substantial
recommendation to the place except that
Mr.. Scranton, the congressman from this
district, was for him, or by one who was
efficient, capable, respectable and backed
by the petition of the community, is not
perhaps question of State or national sig
nificancc. The political scheme or system
that made the appointment OF Albert j. Orr
in the place OF Douglass smith possible
against the earnest and repeated protests of
those who had right to be consulted is the
thing to be condemned, that needs the
attention of the people of the State and
nation, and this attention has been aroused
none to soon. The citizens of Wilkesbarre
will survive the insult indgnity and out
rage of this appointment. The governor of
the State will lose nothing in the estimation
of his constituents because of the failure
to obtain for the people of his own town a
respectable and acccptablc Office. Int Re
publican government will be found a de.
iusion and a sham. and 90 down TO irrctri.
evable ruin if the system that made Orr's
appointment possible is not DESTROYED root
and branch
