HON. W. NJ. DENNY.
williamsburg Waterman.

=
Hon. Walter NJ. Denny, of Scranton,
candidate for Congress from this dis
trict, addressed the people at the
court house Saturday. As there had
been no previous announcement of the
occasion, not as many were out as
would have otherwise been, but quite
a goodly number were out to greet
him. Mr.. Denny's speech was neces.
sarily brief, as lie told his hearers
that the Masonic lodge would convene
at 2 p. m.
Mr.. Denny briefly stated that there
were four aspirants in the field for
this position; that he could say no.
thing against any of his opponents,
they were heightened and true Demo-
Gratis that after the convention there
would be only one of them in the field !:
that he hoped to be that one. :
He then briefly defined his views
upon the tariff and silver questions.
He said the tariff question, to his
mind, was the issue to the American
people, more especially to this people,
who were an agricultural people
with nothing protected and every.
thing they bought covered by the
tariff.
or the silver question he said the
Chicago Democratic platform de-
manded the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman bill. That
Congress had done this, but he
thought 1t should not have been
stopped here. However, he yet be-
lieves that Congress would yet carry
out the platform. The Democrats
might differ as to the policy and yet be
true as to principle. He said that in
the absence Of his opponents he would
not attempt to make an extended
talk, but planted himself squarcly on
the Chicago platform, and was making
the race as a Democrat, and hoped to
get there and II SO lucky, promised
to use all his ability and energy in the
interest of his constituents. Mr.,
Denny was warmly and roundly
cheered ut the conclusion.

Gov. Stone last Saturday pardoned
ex-State Treasurer Colonel Wilson L.
Hemingway, who was only short in
settlement with his successor in the
sun of S3l5,62l. 10, for which crime
he has only served four years in the
State pcnitentiary. But the Governor
says $1,000 citizens of the State asked
him to turn the old fellow out, and.
perhaps, he would reform and be a
better man in future. The readers of
the DEMOCRAT-STAR know that all
along we have opposed the pardoning
or Hemingway, because we believe that
the sentence of five years for misap-
pr0priating or making away with that
large amount of the States money. he
ought to serve out his term to the
finish. The petition business, all
know, is a superb humbug. Men sign
them who know nothing of their con-
tents-just to please IL friend. We
believe to-day that if petitions were
circulated over the State 30 900 names
could be procured to Il petition con-
demning the Governor for pardoning
Hemingway. We think our Governor
has made a very, very bad break.
