ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATS.
Addresses Made by State and County
Candidates at HazIeton

The people of Hazleton and vicinity
gave hearty welcome to the Democratic
cratic candidates on Tuesday evening.
Halle Hall was crowded to the doors
and with music and cheers the voters
greeted the leaders of the party which is
eudeavoring to redeem PENNSYLVANIA
from its present depths of degradation.
The meeting was the largest held there
for number of years, and the interest
manifested in the addresses of the
speakers was extraordinary. Those who
feared that the voters of lower Luzerne
were not up with the questions of the
day were treated to a surprise. The
audience proved itself to be familiar
with every topic discussed, as was evil
denced by its keen appreciation of the
numerous local and general hits made
by the orators.
A. l.. Tilden, of Erie, candidate for
State Treasurer, was the first speaker,
and was followed by Robert E. Wright,
of Allentown, candidate for Auditor
General. Both gentlemen confined
themselves to discussion of State is
sues. The address of Mr.. Wright was
an exceptionally strong one. After him
came George III. Hoffman, of Philadel-
phia, who spoke in English and German.
The introduction of State Chairman
Kerr was the signal for an outburst of
applause which lasted several minutes
His address was one of the best of the
evening, and in every sentence he de-
livered home thrust to the party of
corruption against which he is making a
fearless stand. When Mr.. Kerr con-
cluded the county questions were taken
up and handled by Treasurer John S.
McGroarty, Judge Lynch, John M. Gar
man, Lee Stanton, J. G. Wiegand and
John D. Hayes The latter spoke prin-
cipally upon the necessity of a Constitu-
tional Convention, giving ample illus
trations to show that the present instru-
ment needs amending.
After the meeting the State Chairman
stated he was more than pleased with
the reception accorded the party, and
said he is more confident of victory than
he was last year. Mr.. Kerr has soft
place in his heart for the mining regions
and the miners. He remembers who it
was that turned the tide of battle at II
O'Clock on the night of November 4,
1890, when the indications were favor
able to Delamater's election and the Re-
publicans were parading in great glee
through the streets of Philadelphia At
that hour the returns from the anthra-
cite counties were announced, and, al
though incomplete then, they gave ma
jority of over IL 900 for Robert f. Patti
son, making his election an assured fact.
As the tidings flashed out from one
bulletin to another along Chestnut Street
the thousands of anxious voters who
were waiting for decisive report sent
up shout of joy that resembled peals
of thunder. "The miners did it p was
the cry for the remainder of that night,
and the miners will do it again. They
were true to their grand old common
wealth last November and will not turn
traitors in the present battle.

simmons Way of Playing Ball.

Jeanesville Club played at Catasauqua
on the Sd inst, and here is what the
Valley Record says of them, which is q
repetition of what occurred in Freeland
on September 5: The game was one of the
meanest that has been played here this
season. Simmons, the catcher of the
visiting team, is kicker from the word
go, and his conduct was anything but
gentlemanly. In the seventh inning the
home team began to brace up and made
some telling plays, and it was evident
that the game would end in their favor
This was too much for Simmons to
swollow, and he foolishly began to waste
all the time possible as darkness was
rapidly approaching, and in that way
thought sure to win the game, and
Furthermore refused to play out the
inning. But the home team was on to
his tricks and would not stand any such
nonsense, and the game was called and
declared in favor of Catasauqua by a
score of to 0. Simmons was hissed by
the audience for his unmanly conduct
The rest of the club, however, behaved
like gentlemen and urged Simmons to
play out the inning, but it was no go,
and the result was the club lost their
guarantee money, as Manager Albert,
under circumstances, positively refused
to pay the same.
Lehighton and Catasauqua Clubs play
ed at the former place on Saturday. The
batteries were: Lehighton, Freeman
and Cellar, of Wilkes-Barre; Catasauqua,

of Catasauqua at the end of the seventh
inning Stivetts refused to play, claiming
darkness. and the game was awarded to

DRAMATIC COMPANY.
Freeland Amateurs to Appear at the
Opera House on November IL.

The movement to organize a dramatic
company composed of local talent has
been successful, and the organization has
commenced rehearsing for its first public
appearance, which will be at the Free
land Opera House on the evening of No.
vember IL. The members of the COM
pany have been selected by Rev. F. P.
McNally, through whose efforts it was
organized, and who is also acting as in
structor. The latter states that the COM
pany has already attained degree of
proficiency that is surprising, consider
ing the short time since rehearsing be-
gan, and confidently expects to present
before the people of Freeland company
of well-trained actors on the opening
night. "The Danger Signal" two-act
drama by T. S. Denison, of Chicago, will
be the first production, and is to be given
for the benefit of the st. Patrick's Bene-
fetal Society. The following is brief
synopsis of the play:
Mr.. Norman had in early life succeed
ed by questionable means in obtaining a
colonelcy which Enfield would otherwise
have obtained. To make amends Nor
man afterward has Williamson, alias
Enfield, appointed captain of the steamer
Northern Belle" which is wrecked.
Norman, who thinks Williamson wreck
ed the vessel Intentionally, had him ar
rested, and Williamson fees from Justice.
he had at the time of the wreck rescued
Stella, who is really Norman's daughter,
and left her at an obscure place on the
Great Lakes. He afterward takes her
with him to Bald Point, where he makes
a living by keeping summer boarders,
fishing, etc. The wreck of the vessel
and loss of many lives, together with his
wrongs, gradually prey upon Enfield S
mind till Stella fears insanity. Mother
Foresight knows his secret. Chester
Norman is on the Lake Survey and be-
comes acquainted with the Enfields
Charles Norman, his foster father, calls
to see him and is recognized by Enfield.
He and DR.. Valerian, who is pretty
thorough knave, allow Norman to depart
in a small boat with squall coming on.
Mother Foresight gives the alarm and
Norman is saved.
In the second act Enfield plots to
throw Norman over a cliff with the tacit
acquiescence of Valerian. Mother Fore
sight again illustrates their plan and the
whole denouement is precipitated. En-
fields whole soul is now possessed by
the desire for revenge. In the scene
where he meditates for brief time, al
lowing Stella to marry Chester Norman,
her own brother, as he supposes him,
the opportunity for acting is very fine.
Persimmon and Pat afford unlimited
fun. The characters are very evenly
balanced, and, it is stated, there is not
an unimportant part in the play.
