The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-08-16

The Democratic convention is yet "tc
take place in the near future" No
steps have been taken even to call
meeting Of the county committee, al
though it was expected that this would
be done during the fore part of the
present week None are more anxious
for the fixing of tho date than one or
two Of the candidates, as upon the fix
ing Of the date depends tho fixing OF
the slate.
II the convention ia held after the
Republicans have made nominations,
as 1t now undoubtedly will be, there
will be no time lost by the Democratic
machine in filing up the ticket, which
will be attended with considerable ease
on account of the determination to do
certain things II the Republicans do
certain other things. One OF these ear
tain things is the placing of J. G.
Bailey in the shrievalty column il any
man but Mr. Clemons is nominated
on the Republican ticket. Mr.. Bailey
will not run against MIR. Clemons Oh
account OF certain social relations ex-
isting between the two and IL Glenn
ons is nominated Mr.. Bailey wants
to run for clerk OF the courts John
Durkin does not intend to peacefully
make way for Mr.. Bailey. He has his
mind set upon defeating John Thomas
and no other. "They can't force mt
up against Clarence Pryor." said Mr..
Durkin yesterday. Il want clerk Of
the'courts or nothing"
sCHADT DOESN'T WANT MUCH.
In case Mr.. Bailey declines to seek
the nomination for sheriff the slate
makers would have Charles Schadt take
it, but Charley says II want county
treasurer or nothing" The aforesaid
slate makers are anxious to have all
these men on the ticket, but they are
sorely troubled as to how they shall be
disposed Of. Here 10 the way they
would like to see the county slate
printed.

They do not know as yet just how
they wonld like to fill up the treasurer
column, but as there is plenty of will
ing victims no trouble would be expert
enced in securing one.
THE HAPPY. HAPPY FAMILY.
Mr.. Gearhart will accept, ex-JudgC
Smith was reported yesterday as favor.
ably disposed toward acceptance, Mr.
Schadt won't have any sheriff in his,
Mr.. Durkin won't accept, Mr.. Bailey
doesn't know what he wants but will
be able to tell after the Republican
convention, Mr.. Kelly won't have to
DO coerced into acceptance, Mr.. Hea-
ley and Mr., KOehler are fixtures.
From this it is quite evident that th,
Democratic engineers don't know jus
where they are at. and they don't wan
to make a move toward convocatiol
Of Democracy until they know wha
purpose the calling together is for
The Democratic managers, generally
do not give show until the differen
parts are we'll rehearsed. Until tn
leading man get over their kicking
about the assignment Of parts. the pro
duction will not be billed.
A strong effort Is being made t
satisfy the malcontents, and it woul'
not be surprising il the dead wall
Fshould be covered with their pape
within few days.
