Ouinnan's Sympathy Dodge.

A determined effort is being made by
the friends of John p. Quinnah, the
Democratic legislative candidate on the
South Side, to convey the impression
that when Mr.. Quinnan lost in his recent
election contest he was cheated out of
his pay as legislator. Assertions to
this effect have recently been made in
public meetings, the obvious purpose of
them being to create sympathy for Mr..
Qninnan and thus, if possible, effect his
reelection.
The falsity of this charge is easily
demonstrated. Act, No. 1865, on page
400 of the Laws of Pennsylvania, ses-
sion of 1893, made an appropriation to
Mr.. Quinnan of $2,720: of which $1,5OO
was for salary in full for the entire
session; $40 for mileage; $1OO for post
age; $50 for stationery; $500 for counsel
fees in the contested election case of
okell vs. Quinnan; and $500 for personal
expenses incurred during the contest.

Why to Vote for Vaughan.

1t is not merely a guess, it is almost
mathematical certainty that the next
governor of Pennsylvania will be
executive of all the people in this state,
and will honestly and honorably full
fiji the oath and obligations of his high
office, yet it is simply human that he
will select his confdants and advisers
from among the members of his own
political household; and will not go to
the political enemy either with or for
| favors
Thus it is apparent that Demo-
cratic state senator, for instance, no
matter what his character, ability or
Tuesday in next January, command the
same influence over legislation per-
tanning to his district that will be
welded by Republican senator. In
stead of being, as at present, one of the
few who have ready access to the gu
bernatorial ear he will be one Of the
few who will, in any legislation of
political nature at least, be the last to
be consulted. The Importance of this
plain fact to a county with the varied
and numerous interests of Lackawanna
county and to a city like our own,
which has during the past few years,
sprung up into state and even national
reputation, will be apparent to all who
shall take the occasion to think just
what the "ear of the governor signi-
fies.
The gentleman who now represents
the Twentieth district in the state sem
ate has been unconsciously fortunate
in having been the political beneficiary
of an accident that gave Republican
Pennsylvania a Democratic executive.
| Even with this almost Invaluable pres
tige at his command he has not as yet
astonished the senate by the magnitude
of his achievements. But with this
prestige gone; with a Republican gov
ernor occupying the position now occu-
pied by Robert r. Pattison, what could
Senator Mcdonald do though he had
the voice not Of men but of angels?
The people of Lackawanna county, as
a business investment, wouldlose money
by his re-election; they would lose
money through the lack of aggressive
forward legislation which Republi-
can senator could carry through to
victory and which a Democratic sena-
tor very probably could not carry
through to victory; they would lose
money by losing influence, prominence
and prestige.
While this matter-of-fact argument
applies with particular force to the VIM
ming candidacy of James c. Vaughan,
. it is equally applicable to the candida
lcies of Alexander T. Connell and
Charles p. O'Malley, the other Repub-
licans on the legislative ticket who are
seeking election in Democratic dis
tricts: and it likewise adds strength to
the candidates. Of Representative John
r Farr and Candidate Frank j.
Grover. who would be at once in politi-
cal touch with the incoming state ad-
ministration. A vote for each Of these
men is vote that will tell perceptibly
in the upbuilding of Scranton and In
the progress of the county as affected by
c+o 20 LEGISLATION.

Judge Smith could never have had
any expectation Of an election except
one based on the alienation of Repub-
lican votes from Judge Archibald by
Misrepresentation lof some kind or
other. On these he has banked all his
hopes. The facts are now coming to
the surface; Misrepresentation are of
no avail; political cunning has done
all it can and is powerless. to stem the
tide now setting in toward our honored
president judge-a tide that will sweep
him into office by an overwhelming
majority. Judge Smith Of a day or two
is not preferred by the people Of this
county to Judge Archibald of a life time.
Ten years of faithful service on the
bench is better than less than one years S
service by appointment.

They're on the Run.

Despite all the simulated confidence
and fiatulent brag of the local DEM
ocracy, 1t Is on the run, and every hour
adds to the panic Of its flight. Already
the fight has been abandoned except in
spots; and the fighting in one of these
spots-the judgeship-is conducted by
friends of the Democratic candidate
upon the principle of anything to beat
Archibald. Offers to trade three votes
for one are as plentiful as fallen leaves,
but the very eagerness of these politi-
cal brokers to go back on their other
candidates at once gives their case
away, and we are happy to say that
few genuine Republicans are entering
into any such deals.
Another element of disappointment to
the Democrats has been the utter col
lapse of the much-talked-of bolt on the
part of certain Republicans who, hav-
ing been fairly defeated in the conven-
tion of their own party, have volun-
teered their services to the political
enemy and sought to carry over a per-
sonal following with them. 1t deserves
to be said in grateful recognition of the
sterling loyalty of the Republican
masses that this conspiracy of enyen-
omed pique has signally failed Of its
purpose. Not corporaps guard of
malcontents remain on the outskirts;
and these will be less than a drop in
the bucket compared to the new con-
verts who have been literally driven out
of the Democratic party by the in
sufferable filth and nastiness of the i'm
ported Bourbon organ-grinders in their
campaign of mud-throwing and uncon-
scionable lying.
The situation today is full Of hope for
honest and reputable Republicanism in
this county. Spurred by Democratic
desperation to the necessity of har.
monious and centralized work, the
party Of clean principles and clean can
didates has begun to put forth it's best
efforts; and the momentum of its for.
ward progress will literally sweep the
field on Tuesday next. Let no faint.
hearted Protectionist be deceived by the
profuse brag and bluster Of the paid
clackers of the opposition. The Re.
publican ticket in this county is going
to win. 1t is going to win from con.
gresham down to jury commissioner
1t is going to win by majorities reaching
up to the unprecedented vote for Ga.
lusha A. Grow; and in its victory there
will be no hint of treason nor scent Of
treachery.

This is what William M. Singerly,
Democratic candidate for governor OF
Pennsylvania, said on Oct. 6, before the
Southwestern Democratic association
Of Philadelphia: "Our Republican
friends are campaigning the state en-
tirely as a lot of mourners at funeral
procession, weeping over the death of
the Mckinley law. Protection as a
principle / do not believe will ever
again be a battle-cry for either party in
this country. Protection as principle
is dead. 1t is damned, and the damna-
ton of it's taking off was the Mckinley
law" Do the voters OF Lackawanna
county agree with this?

This act was introduced by Republi-
can member of the last house of repre-
sentatives, passed both branches of the
Republican legislature without amend
ment and was approved by Governor
Pattison June 80, 1898
Thus whatever claim Mr.. Quinnan
may have had upon the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania has been fully and hon
orably cancelled; and cancelled in nc
mean or beggarly spirit, but generously
and with a free hand. Mr.. Quinnan
needs nobody's sympathy He was paid
every cent that was due him for wages
was abundantly compensated for the
expenses incident to the litigation over
his seat in the house; and in addition
was presented with farewell remem
brance of $500 in crisp, clean cash
The South Slider who shall this year re-
fuse to vote for Alexander T. Connel
because of sympathy for Mr.. Connelr'
antagonist will simply be deluded by al
unfair representation of facts.
