A dispatch from the Windy City gives
a glowing account of the organization of
a new political band, modelled somewhat
after the style of the Known Nothing
party. The following is some of the in
formation which the leaders have given
to the public. They state that reciproci-
ty is its platform and Blaine is its chief
1t is combination of laboring men in
the protected trades, farmers who are
not in or are weary of the Alliance and
Democrats and Republicans generally
who believe in Blaine and a protective
tariff. The organization is secret and
oath-bound. Each member must sub
scribe to ritual that fixes his opinions
on certain questions in black and white
1t claims 5000 members in Chicago
Outside of Chicago the organization, it is
said, has $1,000 members. Encamp-
ments or lodges are to be organized in
every city in the land Old time politi-
cal associations will be laid aside. Its
scope is immense. 1t lakes in half a
dozen great interests. In the West and
southwest 1t embraces every one who is
partial to Blaine and reciprocity, and it
IS organized under the general name Of
the knights of Reciprocity" Ex-
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson
is said to have conceived the idea of the
organization, and Patrick Ford, editor
of the Irish Wor2d, of New York, is
credited with assisting him in working
out its details. Democrats and Republi.
cans will march in its ranks and all
members are under oath not to reveal
! the secrets Of the organization under anv
consideration. To become member
one must be citizen of the United States
and firm believer in the constitution
and civil rights.

1t has been the usual custom to refer
to the Democratic party as the friend of
the liquor element, but the Mountain
Sunbeam, edited by Rev. J. w. Bedford,
of Freeland, in an article upon the Re
publican party's attitude towards prohi-
bition, gives the party of immaculate
morality some home thrusts when it
says:
The last national convention of the
party was presided over by wine deal
er, the President they elected is a wine
drinker and recently received a barrel
OF liquor as present; the Vice President
is the owner of the Shoreham, licensed
liquor shop in Washington; the Secretary
OF State has used the department of State
to drum up trade in South America for
the brewers of this country; and with
seven-eights of all the liquor papers now
in the ranks of that party; with saloon
keepers on their tickets at the recent
elections; with an increase of over 60, 600
liquor dealers during the present Repub-
llcan administration; with / ,335 brewer
les in Republican States, out of a total of
l,5lO in the entire nation, and the party
| pledged to license, we do not see how Il
is possible to get less prohibition in its
] politics.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-01-14

General VIM. Lilly, of Mauch Chunk,
| has been prominently mentioned as a
candidate for the Republican nomination
| of Congressman-at-larg He is known
to the party leaders in this State as one
of the old warehouses who is ready in
every campaign with a check of no small
amount, and his friends base his claim
for recognition on that ground. Indeed,
had it not been for General Lilly's gen
erosity in 1888 Harrison might yet be
| figuring as a third-rate lawyer in Indi-
ana. When Matt Quay was running
the campaign his plans were badly han
dicapped for the want of funds during
the latter part of the contest. The Sen
ator conceived the idea of placing anoth-
er assessment upon the faithful, and
! thirty millionaires of Pennsylvania were
notified to put up the necessary cash.
General Lilly happened to be one of the
number, and like true Republican he
asked no questions but sent his check
for the largest amount ever subscribed
in any political campaign by an individ-
ual, with the probable exception of John
Wanamakers famous donation. With
the money thus obtained Quay was en-
abled to buy the Presidency.
The Junior Senator is not ungrateful
to all his friends and it is announced
that he has given his endorsement to
Lillys canvas in return for the favor
rendered him in 1885, This, of course, is
equivalent to the nomination, for the
rank and file of the Republican party
are never consulted in matters of any
great importance. The nomination
means positive election, and according
to political prophets it may be set down
as an assured fact that Lilly is the man
for the position. His colleague on the |
ticket will be Major Mcdowell, of Wes- |
tern Pennsylvania, subject to Quay's APP
proval. Mr.. Lilly states he will accept |
the nomination provided it comes to him
with any degree of unanimity. His only |
opponent is Geo. A. Castor, Philadel- |
phia business man, whose candidacy is |
in the hands of the local politicians in
that city.
General Lilly is typical Republican,
not one Of the rabid stripe, however, but
man who seems intensely anxious for
the success of his party at all times, as
his heavy contributions during cam
paigns show. Although he is not the
man whom the TRIBUNE would wish to
see representing this State in Congress,
he is far more preferable to many of his
party who would like to aspire to the
office, and since he is almost certain of
success we are pleased to know that,
while Democrat cannot be elected, the
Republicans are going to give us the best
man in bad party. Next to his Repub-
licanism General Lilly's greatest fault is
being coal operator-a rime most men
would be guilty of had they the oppor-
tunity.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-01-14

In a comprehensive review of the
Presidential situation the New York
Times surveys the field and comes to the
conclusion that Cleveland is the recog-
nized leader of his party and that the
people are for him. 1t says;
Although there has not been a time
since the November elections of 1890
when it could not be said that Mr. Cleve-
land was the recognized leader of his
party and its choice for its Presidential
candidate in 1892, there can be no denial
of the proposition that since the elections
of last fall there has been a great
strengthening of the conviction that he
is the man to lead the fight for tariff re-
form that is so soon to open. 1t is moi
an overstatement to say that no othel
man is seriously thought of as the proper
person to head the Democratic ticket
The results of the elections held in No.
vember have been everywhere consid.
cred as indicating that the Democratic
party has but one duty to perform at the
present time, and that it should perform
that duty under the guidance of Grover
Cleveland.
The people believe in the man; they
trust in his integrity and in his great ca
pacity as well; they have the most impli
cit confidence that, nominated, he will
be elected by grand vote On the Other
hand, what opposes him? A small clique
of peanut politicians, spoilsmen, sore,
headed and revengeful fellows Not
one of them has reputation for states
manship, every one of them is dead
weight on his party, inasmuch as the
knowledge that he is prominent
Democrat" deters many men from attach
ing themselves to the party with which
they would gladly cooperate in the work
of reforming and ultimately abolishinl
the tariff.

The Philadelphia Press, in summing
up the political complexion Of the
next State Senate, announces that
this district, the Twenty-frst, is de-
batable and really ought to be re-
deemed by tue Republicans. There
are no reasons given why the voters
of the Twenty first should disgrace
themselves by sending a Republican
to Harrisburg as the successor of
Senator Hines. As the latter is a
candidate for Congressional houors
the Democrats will have to move very
carefully in making a selection, not
from fear of defeat, but to maintain
the high standard Luzernes present
member has made for the county.
That this will be done we have no
reasons to doubt, but the proposition
to elect Republican who will help to
re-elect Matt Quay is simply prepos.

belongs to the Democrats, and Re

BECAUSE the TRIBUNE does not
support Reynolds in his efforts to un-
seat Congressman Shonk the White
Haven Jourl1dl thinks the millennium
is near at hand. 1t also incidentally
remarks that other Democratic news
papers have expressed similar opin-
ions to ours, "thus indicating that
Mr.. Reynolds is not in harmony with
the organs of his party, for reasons
which are variously explained" The
Tribune does not know OF care much
for what reasons other newspapers
are against Reynolds contest. II
believes he was not elected, and We
are merely following the principles ot
this paper in refusing to boost his
claim. Millennium or no millennium
we will not lend our aid toan attemp
to overthrow the will of the people
and anyone who counts upon us to dc
so, whether they be Democrats or not
will be sadly left Democratic prin
ciples call for fair play, and that il
what we want Shonk or any othel
man to get. This is no mans organ
and Democratic usurpers are given
the same medicine as Republican
thieves.

REPRESENTATIVES, of the National Or
ganization Of Broom Manufacturers,
in session at Chicago, have announced
an advanced of 25 cents dozen, to
take effect Immediately. Previous to
the passage Of the Mckinley bill
brooms were admitted under duty
Of % per cent, and even that rate en-
abled the manufacturers to form q
combine and keep up the price of this
household article to the highest posi-
ble figure. The last Republican Con-
gress, however, true to its principles
and its blind allegiance to monopoly,
advanced the tariff to 40 per cent,
and the broom trust now comes for
ward and demands additional tribute
to correspond with the increased duty.
The advance Of price on each separate
broom is very little, but taken in the
aggregate amounts to a large sum in
the course of a year. 1t also shows
plainly the logical results of protec-
tion, which is the very foundation of
trusts and combines.
