HAD IT NOT been for Hon. Allen Craig,
of Mauch Chunk, the Democrats OF
Carbon would experience another split
in their ranks during the present
campaign. Among the large array OF
leaders, representing both factions, he
was the only person who seemed to
have any influence over the audience at
at Mondays meeting Although not
an EssER fighter he was nominated by
that faction for temporary chairman
and would undoubtedly have been
elected without question had he been
nominated by an uninterested party.
When Mondays battle was at its high
est pitch and indications pointed to
another disunion he brought peace and
unity when all others failed, As
matters now stand the party is ONE
Hazleton Sentinel.

THE CARBON ADVOCATE all along pre-
dicted that harmonious unity would
come out of Democratic discord. There
was nothing whatever to be gained by
factional fighting and the rank and
file forced the leaders to a unity that
has all the indications of perfect har-
monY. The county meeting was the
first step, followed by the county com
mittee on last Monday re -electing Hon.
Michael Cassidy 10 the chairmanship
and then the convention recognizing
the great merit of Hon Allen Craig
give him Carbon's conferees for Con
gress; re-nominates District Attorney
Joseph Fisher and named Weissport's
popular, honest, energetic druggist, w.
+. Biery, for Assembly. Everybody is
satisfied with the work Of the conven-
tion. Craig is thoroughly the choice
Of our people for Congress-he is a
brainy, brilliant, capable man; District
Attorney Fisher has made clean,
faithful record for official integrity
and has no opposition in the Republi-
eau ticket; W. F. Biery, for Assembly,
is a poor, hard-working, self-made,
honest Democrat with host of friends
won through genial, joyial disposi-
tion and a straight out character. We
believe there is no question Of the
election of this ticket-the party is
once more united, while in the Repub-
ican ranks there is very noticeable
split on the Quay Senator question.
Mr.. Kuntz, the Republican candidate,
must support Quay if elected through
the deal that made Gen. Lilly the can
didate for Congressman at Large on
the Republican ticket. Between Biery
aud kuntz the former is the most de-
serving and will poll large vote all
over the county and will be elected
Biery must be the next member ofAs-
sembly from Carbon county.

WHENEVER AND and wherever work
ing men have resorted to violence it
has been in despite of the counsels of
the leaders of their organizations, not
because of their organization. In every
case hot-headed men casting aside the
counsels of prudent leadership have
resorted to violence, giving the oppor-
tunity to a corrupt and venal press to
ascribe the work of the lawless mem
bers to the organization itself, until in
the public mind, which is biased by
the reports in the daily press, labor
organizations have been placed in the
same category with anarchist organi-
cations, and this cruel impression is
embittering the minds of the men and
helping to bring about the very condi-
ton of affairs which the press repre-
sents as already existing

MEMBERS OF the Grand Army of the
Republic are looking forward with
eagerness to the coming national en-
campment which will be held at Wash
ington in September 1t is expected
that it will be the greatest reunion of
veterans held since the close of the
war. 1t is thought that 100000 people
will visit Washington, many of whom
have not been there since the war, aid
at least 10000 of those will be battle
worn veterans who will fall into line
and march past the grand stand and
be reviewed by the president The
spectacle will probably almost match
in interest the grand review of the
armies of the union which was held in
the national capital at the close of the
rebellion. The posts in Pennsylvania
are making preparations to have this
state represented in manner worthy
of its part in the great struggle.

VALUABLE RECRUITS.

H. Il. Jane, a well known
lawyer, Of Philadelphia, and
a life long republican, reprdi-
ates his party and will sup
port Cleveland. He gives his
explicit reasons, and is for a
"tariff for revenue only"-a
constitutional tariff tax. All
over the country able and
hitherto true republicans are
trying to help elect Mr.. Cleve
land. Gen. RUFUS Barriuger,
the gallant Confederate cav
alryman. and prominent law
yer, OF our State, is doingex.
cellent service in behalf OF re-
form. He has published a
good, strong, article on the
tariff in the Charlotte Obser-
yer, Our own columns are
constantly so much burdened
or we would be glad to pub
lish it in full. Then there is
Judge Albrison, OF Elizabeth
City, a republican ever since
the war, who Is out for Cleve-
land and reform. Maj. Guth
sic, OF Durham, has also pub
lished a letter setting forth
his reasons for supporting
Clevelvn1. He and Judge AL
brison are men of ability aud
good name in their former
party, as was OF course the
brave Barringer. There j s
still roomSand a hospitable
home in the democratic par
ty for all patriots and free
men who seek TO save genu-
inc republican democratic in

His befeat Certain.

The battle will be decided
by New York and Indiana.
There should be no doubt as
to the result in New York.
The State is naturally demo
cratic. The canvass is under
full headway. The party was
never more united. The ma
chinery by which it is work
ed was never in better hands
or in better working order.
Tammany is pulling as one
man, and this means every
thing for the city, where a
full vote will be polled. The
only thing needed to insure
success, is to get out the la.
tent vote in the country, ayG
this will be done.
Indiana can be easily CAR
ried for Cleveland. At t Ii e
worst the democrats h av e
only a plurality ofsome over
1000 votes to overcome.
But the condition of par
ties in the State has changed
since 1888, and the change
has been to Mr.. Harrison's
disadvantage. Everywhere he
he has not only lost friends,
but he has made enemies No
where is this more true than
in Indiana. Among those
who are his most bitter enc
mics there are his fellow citi-
zens, In 1883 the colored
vote OF the State exceeded
10000. By November next
it will probably reach twelve
thousand. Ii d third OF this
number vote against him, or
even if they refrain from vo-
ting, if the ratio voting is the
same in November next as it
was in 1888, the electoral
vote of the State is lost to
him without the assistance
of the increased democratic
vote which will surely bepoll-
ed, and if New York gees a.
gainst him also, his defeat is
certain.--N. Y. SIN.
