The circumstance related in the i'm.
terview with Captain John G. Delaney,
published this morning on our seventh
page, has not to our knowledge, prev.
1ously appeared in print. In brief il
is that at critical period in the cam.
paign of 1888, when money at national
headquarters was scarce, and party
prospects low, ex-senator William
Window, then enjoying a foremost
position in the financial life of the
metropolis, refused to lend his aid ia
the candidacy of General Harrison,
pleading prior pleasure engagement
in Europe. He went abroad, leaving
a discouraged party behind him; and
after his return, when the private gen.
erosity of Senator Quay and ex-senator
Platt had jointly bridged the chasm,
he was prevailed upon to deliver one
speech, only by the offer of large
sum of money and other liberal atten-
tions.
Yet when General Harrison was
elected, thanks very largely to the at
tentive personal energies and sacri-
fees of Senators Quay and Platt, ex-
Senator Window was selected as Gen
eral Harrison's secretary of the treas
ury, and ex-senator Platt, who was a
candidate for the same position, was
ignored altogether. This, in brief, is
the story that Captain Delaney tells.
He tells 1t, we are informed, upon good
authority; and it is at least sufficiently
plausible to explain many curious
subsequent facts concerning the hos
tile attitude of both Platt and Quay
toward the man whom they so sue
cessfully championed six years ago.
That this hostility, at times openly
otter, should have had no foundation

Some Eloquent Facts.

We Gull from Que copy of daily
paper two extracts which we deem
worthy of reproduction, One is taken
from an extended report of riot at
Duryea. 1t reads as follows:
There were hundred drunken men in
the street, everyone OF whom carried II
pick handle, base ball bat or shot gun. A
Polan1er was seen dragging his wife out of
the house. He threw her into the road
and kicked her. He was laid low by q
blow from a club. About fifty shots were
fred while the chief and constable were
there, but fortunately nobody was hit.
The other extract refers to one An
tonic Russian, arrested in Pittston for
beating his wife. 1t says:
Mr.. Langan said the neighbors were
aroused by the cries Of Hussian's wife, as
he chased her about the house, beating
her. Finally she ran out doors. When
Russian saw the officers coming, he
quenched the light. The officers rushed
In and nabbed him. He fousht like q
demon. He was struck over the ,head with
club and the wound inflicted bled for
several hours. He had on white shirt,
which was covered with blood, and he pre-
sented horrible sight, when brought be-

would be an uncommon circumstance
and one almost beyond belief 1t is
obvious from the surface of the situa-
ton that both these eminent party
leaders have felt slighted, rebuffed and
humiliated. Whether they were the
victims of misunderstanding, or
whether General Harrison was never
sufficiently informed of their earnest
work in his behalf, will doubtless re-
main unknown to the lay public.
Enough is known, however, to indi-
cate unerringly that Senators Quay
and Platt are no fair-weather partisans,
good for service only when the skies
are bright. They belong to the cate
CORY of veteran and seasoned stalwarts,
who deserve better Of the party that
they serve so faithfully than the cheap
derision and lack of confidence which
are often their only reward.

Each election district should elect at the

The representation of delegates to the
County Convention is based upon the vote

Under this rule the several election districts

The COLUMNS of a good newspaper
of general circulation afford the best
possible means of communicating be-
tween reader and advertiser. This
fact is admitted and acted upon by the
ordinary advertiser; and there is no
reason why it should be ignored by
the candidates for Office who wish to
exhibit their records before their fellow
citizens. The duty of a party news
paper to candidates does not begin
until the convention selects its nomi
nees; but in the meantime it is proper
for asplrants to advertise in dignified
manner, and to pay for that adver-
tising as becomes honest men. The
advertising columns of newspaper
are open to the public; and the public
is at liberty to use them within rea-
sonable restrictions, upon the same
basis that 1t uses street cars, hotels,
railway trains or dry goods stores.
This is the common sense of very
simple business subject, and it is as fair
for one as it is for another.

fore the burgess. He was fined $40, which
his wife borrowed from Polander, and
paid,
1t is difficult to believe that scenes
like this are really visible in civilized
portion of the second greatest state in
the American Union, within six years
of the beginning of the twentieth CEN
tury. And yet these things are not
uncommon. What are we doing to
check and to cure them? Are the in
fluences of religion, Of education and OF
law as powerfully turned on them,
with view to their elimination, as
could be wished?
There are other standpoints from
which this subject might be viewed.
For instance, we might inquire, ap-
ropos of the wife-beater, Russian,
whether the policeman's pounding Of
him into ajelly with u club, without u
warrant for the mans arrest, supplied
u good example of law enforcement,
But we shall not pause to debate that
point now. We wish merely to call
public attention to the facts them
selves. They are eloquent enough to
point their own moral.

to insist upon it in the other case. The

Gorman's Terrific Arrangement.


Not since the exciting days of ante
bellum discussion has the staid senate
of the United States heard such q
broadside of denunciation as that
which Arthur Pue German, the Mary
land Warwick, yesterday poured into
the ponderous political entity called
Grover Cleveland. Arising from an
uninterrupted reading of the complete
text of this memorable debate, the
conclusion is irresistible that the pres
ident has been left, in the words of the
street, without leg to stand on.
The dignity of the senate and the
formulae ofparliamentary allusion did
not permit the application by Mr.,
Gorman to the Presidents conduct of
the short and emphatic Anglo-Saxon
words which readily suggest them
selves after an attentive study Of the
strong evidence yesterday adduced of
Grover Cleveland's duplicity. But it
was enough in Mr.. Gorman's behalf to
present the facts. They speak out,
more emphatically than could any
words Of indignant Characterization in
rebuke of all executive whose accusa-
tions of "pertidy" and "party dis
honor" directed against others, should
rightly have been directed against
himself, since the testimony presented
by Mr.. German leaves the president
convicted Of false witness, delusive
promises and an attitude in the tariff
discussion deceptive in the extreme.
To Republicans the spectacle is en-
durable only as it indicates an increas- s.
ing possibility Of the realization, by
them, of the patriotic hope that in
dustry-smashing under free trade
auspices may yet be postponed in
definitely in time to spare the country
further havoc and depression. That
apart, the episode is humiliating be-
yond precedent, revealing in both par
ties to the factional wrangle a sense of
indifference to the public good that
might better characterize bandits and
outlaws than American statesmen en-
trusted with the responsibilities of
federal government.

THE ESTEEMED Scranton Truth will

and we do have a distinct recollection
of having repeatedly said to the con-
traTV.

This morning, in pursuance of its
uniform custom of according to all
persons fair hearing, THE TRIBUNE
prints statement from Rev. f. A.
Dony defining his position, past and
present, toward the local movement
for better observance of Sunday.
There are several assertions in Mr..
Dony's article with which we do not
agree, and one or two which we dis
pute in toto. But we are disposed ia
let the gentleman's personal signature
carry its own load of responsibility
therefor, judging this to be the fair and
proper course to be pursued.
In the case, for example, of the
mayor of this city we suspect that the
secretary Of the American Sabbath
union makes charges which he cannot
sustain. Wedo not believe that Mayor
Connell is by training, instincts, in
tention or effect an ally Of lawless ele-
ments, nor that he has sought, as a
public official, to shirk or shun his full
duty as it is defined in the statutes and
by common consent. The secretary of
the American Sabbath union will not
gain credence for his accusations
against the mayor upon the mere
weight of his own ipse diXit; nor do we
believe that he can advance evidence
adequate to sustain them. Neither
are we convinced that the common
pleas courts of this county have yet
failed to interpret the law correctly.
AS able constitutional lawyers as Mr..
Dony have sustained the position that
the penalty clause in the Sunday law
of 1894 is farcical in its effect, lacking
provision for the punishment of the
laws contempt and virtually opening
the door to its own systematic viola
ton.
AS to the secretary's expressed hope
that Sunday law-breaking may cease,
this journal heartily shares it, and
can say SO in the utmost frankness
without in the slightest committing
itself to the proposition that Rev.
Mr.. Dony's methods, taken col
lectively, were the wisest and
and most effective methods to be
pursued. We do not believe that there
is one honest and thoughtful citizen in
Lackawanna county who, after due
consideration, would wish to see the
legal restraints to wanton Sabbath
desecration disappear. This point is
not in question. The question is
whether policy which seeks the no.
toriety of its salaried instrument quite
as much as the moral triumph of its
ostensible purpose is the best policy to
employ. Our opinion, very frankly, is
a negative one,

The ASSERTION, before a hearing of
the Pittston council, of one Furman,
representing the Barber Asphalt Pave
company, that "the papers will say
anything, if they are paid enough for

not not know who this man Furman
is, but we will wager that he will not
bear too close an inspection by the
newspapers. The men who talk like
that seldom will
