The Hastings Reception.

Seldom has our city had the oppor-
tunity to welcome such distinguished
company of Republicans as are to be
its guests today. The list includes al
most score of men of national promi-
nence. Among them are Hon. John
Russell Young, president of the Union
league, Philadelphia, and minister to
China under the Grant administration;
Hon. William Potter, ex-minister to
Italy; Hon. Charles Emory Smith, ex-
minister to Russia; Hon. John Wana-
maker, ex-postmaster general and
Philadelphia's foremost merchant; Con-
gresham Charles w. Stone, ex-secre-
tary Of the commonwealth and ex-lieu-
tenant governor; Hon. Charles +. War
wick, city solicitor of Philadelphia;
Hon. George B. Orlady, the silver
tongued orator Of Huntingdon; Colonel
b. Frank Eshelman, of Lancaster;
George N. Mccain, managing editor of
the Philadelphia Press; District Attor-
ney William I. Shaffer, of Delaware
county; General James w. Latta, can
didate for secretary of internal affairs,
and Hon. George f. Huff, candidate for
congressman at large. These, in addi-
tion to General Hastings himself, will
reach the city at o'clock this after
noon and remain until tomorrow at
tending five rousing meetings between
noon and midnight.
General Hastings will speak tonight
first at the armory, to which every citi-
zen is most cordially invited. Major
Everett Warren, president of the Penn
| sylvania league Of Republican clubs,
| will preside at this meeting; and Lieu
tenant Governor Watres will ofIiciate in
a similar capacity at the rockingham
theater, where Hon. Charles Emory
Smith will be the first speaker. When
General Hastings has concluded his ad-
dress at the armory, he will be con-
veyed to the rockingham, changing
places with Mr.. Smith, who will then
| speak at the armory while General
Hastings addresses the audience in the
theater. A pressing invitation is ex.
tended to all citizens to attend either
gathering.
This is an occasion when party lines
may be generally forgotten in the hos
pitable desire to fittingly welcome very
distinguished visitors. Let every Scran
tonlan, subordinating politics to civit
pride, do honor to the next governor
and to the eminent men who, in shor
time, will be his associates in the gov
ernment of the commonwealth.

That DoIlar-a.Dav Lie.

The meanness Of a party which de-
liberately bases its prospect of political
success upon the energy, perslstency
and unblushing effrontery with which
it can lie about the other side is well re-
buked by the Elmira Telegram's Scran-
ton department when 1t says in yes
terday's issue:
The only mean feature about this cam
paign is a story put in circulation by
some defamer to the effect that once upon
time Mr.. Clemons, the Republican cam
didate for sheriff. said 81 day was suf-
ficient for the workingman. This story is
UNANIMOUSLY false, and the Telegram would
not interfere were 1t not that 1t desires to
live up to its policy In defending those
unjustly accused. Mr.. Clemons is gen.
tleman who himself rose from the ranks
of labor and who for many years has en-
ployed men. A man who secures posi-
ton under Mr.. Clemons Is always open TO
congratulation from his fellow workmen,
because 1t is position where the la
borer is not only accorded fair treatment
but where his salary is far above the aver
age and where the money comes every
pay day on time. Mr.. Clemons has been

the first time that ever aught has been

was not a relapse from some balloon en-
terprises that we had entered into. We
have had such panics as that In this coun-
try, and they were always characterized
by great deal Of litigation In our courts.
In the panic of '73-'4 the courts of our
counties were crowded with collection
suits. Men were being sued on notes and
mortgages were being foreclosed. That
state of things has not characterized this
panic which We have just gone through.
when this panic began we had more
money in circulation per capita than we
have had for many years. The amount
OF money In circulation was SO large that
1t could not have been lack OF money
that brought that panic on. 1t was not
any lack of confidence on the part of the
people in the money that was in circula-
tion. 1t was not because they doubted the
value of the bills or the coin they had in
their pockets. 1t was one OF the curious
features of that panic that men who mad
money and went to the bank TO get II did
not care much what kind OF money was
paid them-whether Is was silver certif-
Gates or what. They did not stop to look
at 1t, but just wrapped II up In neWSpa-
per and took it home and hid 1t under the
bed, or took 1t to saving deposit COM
pany, hired box and stuck 1t in there.
1.-THE result was a great scarcity OF
money, but presently the people got over
their fear of the banks and they brought
the money back. Yet the banks could not
make any use of 1t. NOBODY wanted IL.
There was no business being done; there
were no solvent borrowers who could use
the money and from that time to this that
has been the situation of this country. All
of our banks have been filled with money
belonging to people who did not want to
seit. What was this expectation of evil,
| this dread of q catastrophe, which came
upon the peple of this country and which
| Is still more or less upon them? 1t was
| the uncertainty that the Democratic sue
cess of 1892 introduced. The Democrats
said they were going to destroy this pro-
| tective system. They were going to tear
down this house that had sheltered us.
| From that time to this the people have just
stood wondering, fearing, dreading what
| might be DONE"

next governor, General Daniel H. Hast
ings; Pennsylvania next lieutenant
governor, Walter Lyon, and the re-
mainder of the excellent state ticket,
which will be overwhelmingly elected
next month, will address two immense

Smith, ex-Minister to Russia, editor Of
the Philadelphia Press, and one Of the
most effective political speakers in the
United States. Every protectionist

Reeds Rude Rebuff.

The free trade organette in this coun-
against Thomas B. Reed. Just when
Its esteemed Philadelphia editor had,
with much labor, built up pretty
structure of sarcasm and ridicule with
which, at one blow, to crush the spirit
of the "monopolistic protection press"
by throwing into its plutocratic face
the Ann Arbor interview which cred
tied Mr.. Reed with incontinently
abandoning protection to American in
dustries; at the very moment, indeed,
when this able journalist had climbed
to his house top, focused field glass
upon the sanctums of his Republican
contemporaries and braced himself for
the shock which his irony was bound
to impart, we contend that it was real
mean In the ex-speaker metaphorically
to knock out his underpinning and
bury him, bruised and bleeding, in the
ruins by refusing to father that free
trade fake.
If the esteemed Philadelphia edi-
tor of the local free trade organette
does not seek balm for these wounds
by suit for damages, he will lack the
spirit for which he was once so noted.
The speaker Of the Fifty-first congress,
albeit he did as much to frame and pass
the Mckinley bill as any other man,
clearly had no right, in view of this
Democratic jubllation, to deny the
newspaper fiction which charged him
with having repudiated his own econ
omic work. He should have reflected
what the effect of his denial would
be upon such able editors as the presid.
ing genius of the Scranton Times; he
should have considered their feelings

of being hoist with their own petard

terview and taken the consequences.

mite cause and stick to it; and which,
therefore, blows alternately hot and
cold, first on one side and then on
tother.
We have In mind number Of these
able neuters which, as the days glide
by, supply us with unfailing merri-
ment. The nicely Of their praise and the
ease, precision and regularity Of their
veers and turns, comprise a constant
theme for wonder. We open their
pages each day with a fascinated sense
of expectancy and close them with a
new comprehension of the boundless re-
sources of the human intellect. In the
desert sands of journalistic routine
they are the bright, particular oases
where the tired traveller rests himself
and receives refreshment. But for them
the advocacy Of political causes would
be one vast stretch of homely sincerity
and one long, dry reach of ordinary,
consistent belief.
We dislike to particularize, but 1t
occurs to us that one illustration would
not come in amiss. We therefore,
pick up, at random, the Washington
Post, an able paper under the "inde-
pendent" handicap, and find this is
how it comments for the delectation Of
its Democratic friends, having imme-
diate reference to a recent speech by
William NJ. Slngerly:
The object of the speaker was evidently
to rid the minds of those who have hith-
erto been deceived on this question of the
extraordinary delusion that it is to the
interest of Democratic leaders, Of Demo-
cratic statesmen, Of Democratic citizens
generally, to urge upon the country a
policy which shall deal n death blow to
its Industrial welfare. There is no such
warfare in progress. The American peo-
pie to the number of millions at every
election are not voting to degrade and
humiliate themselves to lower levels.
They are not voting to oppress but to re-
lieve; not to destroy, but to upbuild; and
until it can be shown that tariff reform
signifies ruin and disaster and enforced
idleness, It's opponents should suspend
their condemnatory judgment.
Four or five days later, with its eye
on the Ann Arbor fake interview with
ex-Speaker Reed, it exuded the follow
ing sentences of Republican belief:
The country is weary of financial dis
turbance, Of tariff agitation, and of in
dustrial paralysis. Men with interests at
stake have been alarmed by the utter
ances of Democratic leaders, by their
threats of further and still more radical
changes in the revenue arrangement, and
by the evident lack Of harmony and in
stability of purpose in the party councils
They have become disheartened, and in
their longing for an interlude of security
and order are ready to accept almost any
leadership that offers them the prospect
of protection. The country can afford nc
more experiments; 1t is fainting under
blind and foolish agitation, 1t wants rest
| and peace, and hope.
To an independent" paper these two
utterances may involve no inconsist
| ency; but think of the labor that II
takes to maintain the parity!

Maintaining a Parity.

These are the days when to conduct
an independent" paper requires ad-
mirable tact and superb discretion.
When the editorial page tits up little
too high on the Republican side one
day. 1t is no small task to lower 1t cor
respondingly into the Democratic do
main the day following, in such man
ner as to give at least superficial
semblance of consistency. Yet this
must be done; for parity of partisan
taffy is the life essence of that partic-
ular brand Of journalistic "independ-
ence" which is afraid to espouse def

Hugh ]. Grant is fitting exponent
Of Tammany politics. His nomination

The principle of reciprocity is that we
say to foreign countries, IF you will
sell to us at first cost, we will let you
come into our market" That was the
great idea that sprang from the brain
Of James G. Blaine. All that is gone
now. I'll give you an illustration Of
how reciprocity worked, and how the
new bill works. Cuba uses a great
deal of coal, and she has not ton of
her own. Formerly she bought it all
from Wales, but under the reciprocity
treaty more than 92 per cent. of the coal
used there came from the United States.
1t was only the third day after the pas
sage of the Wilson bill when the Span
ish government Cancelled the reciproc-
ity provisions and now the United
States can hardly pay to get ton OF
coal into Cuba. This country cannot
stand such sudden changes in the tariff

which came into existence the moment
that Democrats came into power.

said against his good name. 1t is very
creditable on the part of Clerk Lavelle, a
staunch Democrat to publicly deny In
print that Mr.. Clemons ever made such a
remark while a member of select council.
Because Mr. Clemons, prominent ana IN
fiuential business man, has been honored
with nomination for an Office by his par
ty, Is no reason why his good name should
be sullied by an infamous libel In the
whole makeup of Frank III. Clemons
there is not an ingredient that Is opposed
to the working classes. On the contrary,
If all employers were like him, the days
of strikes, low wages, and troubles would
be over. l say this much in defense OF
man wrongfully and maliciously ac-
cused. AS American citizens let us, in
days of political excitement, do unto 9TH
ers as we would have them do unto us.
There is no time when the golden rule can
be applied with more honor than in polit-
ical campaigns.
The time has passed by, in this coun-
ty, when party of fraud and false pre-
tense such as the Democratic organiza-
ton has proved Itself to be under its
present leadership, can with impunity
lie away a Republican candidates
character and defeat him at the polls.
If there is anything truthfully in the
record of Mr.. Clemons which should
defeat him for election as sheriff, let
us have it made public without delay;
but do not libel a man for the simple
reason that he differs from you in poli~
tics. The voters of Lackawanna county
will know how to resent this line of at
tack; even lifelong Democrats will re-
buie this despicable maneuver of the
free trade bosses by voting for Mr..
Clemons and clean campaign.
