Look Out for Fraud!

The Democrats have grown desper-
ate. 1t has been discovered that a
plan has been conceived by them to
erase the voters marks from Republi-
can ballots and substitute marks of
their own. Overseers and watchers of
elections are therefore cautioned to see
that this is not attempted or consum-
mated.
There is reason to fear that many
such fraudulent devices will be attempt
ed today. In the vocabulary of the
men who are directing the Democratic
local fight there is no such word as
conscience. They have resorted to lies
and libels during the forepart of the
campaign, and it is no stretching of
credulity to suspect that they will, If
they see the chance, connive at open
fraud at the polls. o.
But the Republican county commit
tee has not forgotten to take precau-
tions. Every election officer should
understand the magnitude of the pen
atty against ballot frauds. Those who
are in completely need not expect that
they can evade the law.

Following the Smutty Path.

We regret that not one of the Demo-
cratic local candidates has had the
courage or the manliness to repudiate
the abusive course of the Scranton
Times in it's effort to blackguard him
into office by circulating wilful and
bare-faced lies about his Republican
opponents. The failure of these men to
disconnect themselves from this vitu-
perative policy is equivalent to its in
dorsement and to that extent sullies
every candidates fame, from Edward
Merrifleld down, with something of the
smut-mills own smut.
For, when these candidates sub
scribed money to circulate the Times,
they became directly responsible, not
only morally but also legally, for its
scurrilous utterances. If, after elec-
tion, 1t should be decided that the titu-
lar lessees Of that unfortunate news
paper were accountable before the law
for its erratic conduct and of enough
consequence to be prosecuted, the men
who have had completely in this nasty
conspiracy of character defamation
would also come within the scope of
the statute against libel and could be
mulcted for exemplary as well as COM
pensatory damages.
1t is therefore far from creditable to
either Edward Merriheld, P. p. Smith,
James g. Bailey or Charles Schadt that
by their silence they should indicate a
willingness to see personal abuse super
sede argument, and calumny substituted
for courteous discussion. Had the tables
been turned; that is to say, had the Re-
publican newspapers chosen to enter
into competition with the Oakford
alley sheets nauseating filth and slime,
is there in Lackawanna county one per-
son who believes that Judge Archibald,

Support Republican Congressman.

"The one thing needful for the res
toration of at least moderate perman-
ent business prosperity" says the
Pittsburg Times, "is the absolute as
surance that there shall be no further
tinkering with the tariff in a direction
prejudicial to great American interests.
Whatever revival of business there has
been during the past two months has
been due largely to the belief that, not
withstanding the foolish threats of
President Cleveland and Chairman
Wilson to the contrary the end of that
sort of tariff tinkering was reached
belief, however, becomes a certainty,
millions Of dollars will be withheld
from expenditure in all branches of
business and industry and hundreds of
thousands of work people will as a con-
sequence remain out of regular en-
ployment. There is but one sure and
certain way in which to put these mil
lions Of money pulsing through all the
arteries of business life and to give
these multitudes of idle men steady
work, and that is to put it beyond the
power of the Clevelands, Wilson's and
Singerlys to do any further mischief.
The only effectual method of achieving
this will be to place the control of the
next house Of representatives safely in
fhn hands of thn pantth1iponG
is done by the voters of the nation next
Tuesday, foolish and damaging tariff
tinkering will be ended, for backed by
the unmistakable sentiment of the peo-
pie Of the country, the Republicans and
conservative Democrats in the present
congress will be able to prevent the
passage of any legislation inimical to
American industry during the coming
short session.
For these reasons it is most highly
important that the Republican candi-
dates for congress, both at large and in
the respective districts, shall receive
the active support Of every citizen who
desires to see a return of better times
as speedily as possible. There is not
the slightest excuse for any Republi-
can refusing to cast his vote for any
| congressional candidate of the party at
| this grave crisis. The best interests,
not of the party alone, but also of the
whole nation, demand a Republican
house of representatives in the next
congress. 1t is possible for the con-
troll of that body to depend upon the
vote of single member and for that
member to be chosen by a majority of
but one vote at the polls. The whole
| question of whether the industries of
this country shall be allowed peace and
chance to recover some measure Of
permanent prosperity, or be doomed
to months and years of further turmoil
and uncertainty, may be decided by the
action or indifference of some indi-
vidual Republican voter. In districts
where a large Republican majority is
assured the obligation of every advo-
cate of a change for the better to SUD-
port the Republican congressional can
didate is equally strong, so that they
can help to swell the grand total of the
| protection vote of the country and
thereby increase the moral force of the
verdict to be registered next Tuesday"
This means you.

The Real Issue Defined.

The campaign of character assassina-
tion waged by the Democrats of Lacka
wanna county through the medium of
an imported campaign sewer will today
come before the voters of this county
for approval or censure. The broad
principles of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties were clearly defined
weeks ago. 1t is not necessary, at this
late time, to repeat the familiar fact
that Republicanism stands, in a ma
tional sense, for protection and honest
government, whereas Democracy
stands, in the words of its highest ex-
ponent, for "perfidy and dishonor"-for
mongrel tariff tinkering which is
neither the free trade that the masses
Of the Democratic party have in ma
tional convention declared for, nor the
protection which Samuel ]. Randall as
serted to be inseparable from true
Americanism. The last two years have
afforded vivid contrasts between Re-
publicanism, as typified in thirty years
of unexampled prosperity and Democ-
racy, made costly to every citizen
through blight upon trade and labor
unexampled in the history of our coun-
try. Upon these points we may fairly
assume that every rejecting voter has
already arrived at a decision which
will be expressed in the ballot that he
will cast today for governor and con-
gressmen.
The immediate issue which yet calls
for thoughtful decision, an issue less
general but not less significant than
any other question involved in today's
election, Is the problem whether a ma
jority of the voters of this county will
knowingly give their sanction to the
villainous lies and bold, blushing SLAM
ders upon which the Democratic county
campaign management has based it's
| hopes of party success. 1t will become
| the duty of individual voters today to
decide whether a reputable and faithful
| judge, after q decades brilliant service
| upon the BENCH is to be showed ignom-
inously aside in Difference to the unre-
strained abuse of a lying campaign
| journal, and in furtherance of the in
satiable personal ambition of a once-re-
| jected judicial office seeker. 1t will be-
come the duty of individual voters also
| to decide whether clean and capable
young Republican businessman, who
has served this city most efficiently in
both branches of it's municipal legisla-
ture shall be lied out of the sheriff's
office through the venomous abuse of
unprincipled adventurers who scent in
the election of Mr.. Clemons' opponent a
chance to get their filth-covered fingers
upon new source of pecuniary
"spoils."
4 This, in plain words, is the local issue.
1t is battle to decide whether repu-
table men who become candidates for
office are to be lied about, slandered
and villifled as IL they were pickpockets
or criminals in the dock. 1t Is battle
to decide whether politics is any excuse
for brazen Justification and the defiant
libeling Of mans good name. 1t is a
battle to decide whether the self-re-
spect of the Democratic masses In this
county is to be offended with the filth
and slime of two rowing newspaper bug
yards from the big cities who have
picked out Scranton as a suitable place
and the Lackawanna Democracy as a

THE ISSUE OF TODAY.
From the Philadelphia Press.


The question at stake is as simnle and
direct as was ever presented to intelli-
gent men. They were well: they imap-
ined they could be better: they took phy-
sic, and here they lie. They know that
the unsettlement and uncertainty which
followed Democratic success with the
threat of tariff revolution brought general
paralysis and prostration. They know
that the threat has been realized in the
enactment of the destructive Wilson Cor
man law. They know that the only hone
of recovery is n return to the protec-
tive system which has been partially
overthrown, or at least peace from fur
ther agitation and security against fur
ther assaults. And they know that the
supreme issue of this contest is peace and
recovery on the one hand, or renewed
warfare and calamity on the other.
President Cleveland declared that the
Wilson-Gorman law was only a vantage
ground for further attack on protection.
Mr.. Wilson proclaimed that his bill was
only the bebinning of the revolution. No
Democrat of authority pretends to dis
pute that, In the event of Democratic
success, the crusade will go on. If the
American people by their votes approve
and sustain Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. VIII
son, tHese eneIHieS OF protection Will
claim, and will be justified in claiming,
that 1t is n popular mandate to reopen
their warfare with fresh vigor. The is
sue then is so plain that no rational man
can misunderstood it. Every Democratic
vote is vote to raise the black flag and
renew the assault upon American indus
tries. 1t Is vote to continue the agita-
ton, to strike fresh blows at the econo-
mic system which has bulk up our pros
perity, and to give the business of the
country no peace and no revival.
Do business men want rest from de-
structive agitation? DO manufacturers
want stability and security? Do work
ingmen want the wheels.to start and the
fires to be kindled which will give them
employment and save them from further
reduction of wages? Then elect Repub-
lican house of representatives.

THE SONG | NEVER SING.

AS when in dreams we sometimes hear
A melody SO faint and fine
And musically sweet and clear,
1t flavors all the atmosphere
With harmony divine
So, often in my waking dreams,
Like fairy voices whispering
hear the song never sing.
Sometimes when broodlng DER the years
My lavish youth has thrown away
When all the glowing past appears
But as mirage that my tears
Have crumbled to decay
] thrill to find the ache and pain
OF my remorse is stilled again,
As, forward bent and listening,
| hear the song ] never sing.
A murmuring Of rythmlc words,
Adrift on tunes whose currents flow
Melodious with the trill of birds,
And far-off lowing of the herds
In lands Of long-ago;
And every sound the truant loves
Comes to me like the coo of doves
When first in blooming fields Of
Spring
] heard the song | never sing.
The echoes of old voices, wound
In limpid' streams Of laughter where
The river Time runs bubble-crowned,
And giddy eddies ripple round
The lilies growing there;
When roses, bending DER the brink,
Drain their own kisses as they drink,
And ivies climb and twine and cling
About the song l never sing.
An ocean surge of sound that falls
AS though tide of Heavenly art
Had tempested the cleaning halls
And crested DER the golden walls
In showers of my heart.
Thus-thus, with open arms and eyes
Uplifted toward the alien skies,
Forgetting every earthly thing,
l hear the song | never sing.

The Penitentiary Yawns.

Large sums Of Democratic money
were taken to Hyde Park last night for
use in the attempted corrupting of Re-
publican wards.
The sums, their bearers and their CIV
ers are known; and also the candidates
in whose interest this money is to be
used. Every detail Of the project, with
authentic names and figures, is in the
possession of Republicans who will not
hesitate to act promptly at the first in
dication of an attempt to carry out the
deal.

Lackawanna for the ballot-fiXer and the
boodle-user The penitentiary yawns

DECENCY ALWAYS PAYS.

From the Carbondale Herald
There Is noticeable Improvement Of
late in the manner Of conducting political
campaigns. Partisan newspapers and
partisan orators no longer indulge in
throwing mud at the personnel of the op-
posing ticket. Our campaigns are more
and more becoming ones of education and
less of ribald abuse. An illustration of
this was given in Thursdays Scranton
Tribune which, although an able and
earnest protectionist paper pays the fol-
lowing compliment to Candidate Singerly.
There is one thing to be said of Will
lam M. Slngerly, politics or no politics,
and 1t is considerable tribute to q man
with his partisan Affiliations. He is sin
cere in his beliefs and uncommonly
frank In their expression. Should he, by
any chance, be elected governor, this
commonwealth would have nothing to
apologize for in the direction OF his per-
sonal characteristics His election, in a
political sense, would be great misfor-

From the Philadelphia Press.
The expression of 1890 was a fitful and
unrehecting outburst of passion; that of
1892 wayward and insensate freak of de-
lusion; that of 1894 will be the deliberate
and conclusive dictate of Illuminating ex-
perience and irresistible reason. With the
vivid object lessons of the past months
blighting their homes and opening their
eyes, the American people will do all in
their power to check the flood of disaster
which they blndly and madly let loose
two years ago. Then they took wild
leap in the dark. They rashly and impul-
sively plunged upon an untried and un-
known experiment. Now they know the
direful consequences they called down
upon themselves by their colossal folly,
and their overmastering purpose will be
to do what they can to rectify the awful
mistake

Chairman Stranahan as a prophet is
far from being conspicuous success.
He talks of Hines election in Luzerne
today as a sure thing, when every per-
son knows-even Democrats-that
Hines hasn't the ghost of show. There
is an equal amount of incandescent
moonshine in Brother Stranahan's airy
assertion the Merrifeld is quite GER
tain to redeem Lackawanna." If all
the Democratic claims in this county
are constructed on the Stranahan basis,
Wednesdays returns will be too one
sided to be even interesting. Get out

tune; in an economic sense it would be
signal to the tariff wreckers at Wash
ington to proceed with the ruinous agi-
taton and panic-breeding demolition of
American industries; but in a personal
sense 1t would escape even the most viru-
lent criticism of opposing partisan ex-
tremsts."
This Is the proper spirit and the more
OF 1t that is shown the less will our pull
tics be open to the charges that have had
such a tendency to deter able men from
mingling in the affairs of government.

gurs well for the future of the country.

William r. Leeds dropped out of
politics very suddenly for man of his
former prominence. Only last spring,

was nominated, Mr.. Leeds had de-

had been, only four years before, in

Fashions change, in politics as well as
in dress. The forward march of young
er blood seems gradually to have left
the deacon in the rear; and now
death has come and removed him for
ever. His career supplies much that
is suggestive, but the world is probably
good deal too busy to stop long enough

downright indecency nor clear the
