The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-10-03

Scranton, and we cordially endorse the
action Of our county convention in placing
him in nomination to succeed himself in
the next congress. The people of Lacka-
wanna, we are sure, will rally around his
candidacy this year as never before.
Fouth-We step aside from purely po-
litical discussion to pay our tribute OF re-
spect and admiration to the sterling
worth, the unswerving honesty, the ju-
dicial acumen and marked ability OF the
president of our court, the Hon. r. w.
Archibald. Although in politics Repub-
liCan, in the administration Of the law he
has never shown the least trace of parti-
sanship. He has filled his great Office in a
way to merit the appreciation of all OF his fell
low citizens, and we call npon them in the
interest of a vigorous and pure judiciary,
regardless of party ties, to assist in re-
electing him to the bench he so consplcu-
ously honors and adorns.
Fifth-0ur county nominees-the clean
hearted, honest and able Clemens, who
has battled for the party in so many cam
palgns, Pryor and Thomas. faithful offl-
cials, true servants of the people; Davis, a
conspicuously upright and leading citizen
of the West Side friend of every man
aud every mans friend; the genial hearted
Hester, of the South Side; Jones,
the brilliant and aggressive lawyer;
the old soldier and veteran, Hop
kins; Matthews, the respected and es-
teemed farmer-our senatorial candidate,
Captain j. G. Vaughan, the man Of the
people and from the people, who viii be
true to the people. The legislative nomi-
nees-the earnest and able Farr, the true
and tried Council, the enterprising and
wide awake Grover and the young, bright
and ambitious UMalley-we endorse them,
one and all, and we pledge to them our
best efforts to secure their triumphant
election and the maintenance Of Republic
can supremacy in Lackawanna.
ORATOR oRLADY INTRODUCED.
After the assemblage had quieted
down again Mr. Kingsbury said he re-
gretted to announce that Linn Hart.
ranft had found it impossible to be
present. He then introduced Hon.
George B. Orlady as the first speaker
OF the evening, He described him as
one of the best-known and bestin.
formed orators in the state. AS Mr..
Orlady advanced to the speakers table
he was greeted by hearty applause. In
part he spoke as follows:
am not an offlce.seeker, but | am a
Republican, and stand before you as such
tonight for two particular reasons-I want
to give reasons for my faith in the princi-
pies of Republicanism and to see what you
voters Of Lackawanna county look like.
II the normal vote of this county depends
upon the personality of its Republicans
am satisfied that expectations will be more
than realized.
Before contininR my remarks to state or
national topics l want to remind you of
the support you are bound to give county
nominations. There has been heap Of
political sickness and disordered organic
trouble at Washington during the last
year and many Republican political sur
geons are demanded to set things right.
Scranton must do her share by sending
Scranton to the scene of sickness. or
your judicial nominee Judge r. W. Arch
bald, feel / am safe in saying
that his opinions compare favorably with
those of the supreme bench and no ADLER
man could have been selected. These are
the two chief officers you are asked to
eject but even with their capability the
balance Of your local ticket presents a
favorable comparison. Be true to your
principles and vote for and elect them.
ISSUES ARE CLEAN CUT.
Never in the history of state politics
have the issues at stake been so clean-cut
and defined as now; never has the state
ticket from geographical and personal
standpoint been so happily blended; you
have candidates of all ages, from all sec.
tion of the state and they are men who
have sprung from various walks of life, the
farmer, the business man, the soldier and
he of the professional world. From all
these conditions it does not seem possible
that fault can be found with the Repub.
lean ticket on general principles alone.
In 1890 the same issues were hurled by
he Democracy through magazine and

ound ready for a change. Alasl The
ouse, the senate, the executive all Demo-
ratio, were elected, and they proceeded

WHAT WE HAVE PASSED THROUGH.
We have passed through period o
financial depression and chaos, featured b,

Democrats were tinkering; seeking away
