The Test of rIanIy Republicans m.

AT the risk of repetition we again
call the attention of the Republicans OF
Lackawanna county to the fact that
the peculiar conditions Of the present
campaign make doubly necessary the
polling by them, on Tuesday next. OF
every possible vote, and the bringing
into camp, also, OF every available con-
vert One reason for this necessity
may be cited in the circumstance that
both the local and the state Republi-
can tickets are creditable and deserv-
ing; the local ticket in that
it contains the names of two
young men whose success in pri-
vate life, fairly won by hard and hon
est work, ought to be a convincing
guarantee of their fitness for county
office; and the state ticket, partly be-
cause each man on 1t has come through
a fierce factional battle bearing, at
Its close. the unanimous Endorsement Of
both factions; but more especially be-
cause one Of the men on that ticket Is
an eminent fellc'w-resident Of this
county, lifelong Republican whose
bounteous past services to the party
have never. until now, come up for
substantial recognition, and jurist
who brings to the bench of which he is.
by appointment, a member both the
merit of expedient location and the
quality Of ripened practical knowledge.
But there is also another reason--a
reason more delicate, perhaps, but not
less important; and we shall here speak
OF it with the utmost candor. 1t Is no
new truth that Lackawanna county
Republicans were very recently The
actors In one of the most exciting
contests Of the late factional battle in
this state; that they were then, as now.
watched closely by the Republicans of
the whole commonwealth; and that
falling off in the Republican plurality
next week, II not common to all the
counties of Pennsylvania. would be in
terpreted, by some maliciJusly, as
consequence of that regrettable but
We wish to say to the Republicans of
this county, both to the Quay men Of
few weeks ago and to the anti-Quay
men in that fight, that 1t would be ruin
Gus politics as we'll as bad party faith
and the proof Of mean spirit to carry
the honest differences OF that fair and
frank battle into the present endeavor
of reunited Republicanism to square
Itself for the presidential contest Of the
ensuing year. The ticket before us at
this time is a ticket which bears the
stamp Of approval of both Of the re-
cent factions. 1t Is a Hastings ticket
and 1t Is a. Quay ticket. but chief Of all,
1t IS a Republican ticket. fairly nomi-
mated and therefore fairly deserving Of
the united party support. The faith
Of every principal in the recent un-
pleasantness is solemnly pledged to 1t;
and Its election by q sweeping plural
ity would be the fitting token Of an
honest reconciliation among the rank
and-file as well.
Lackawanna Republicanism, which
has already proved its ability to fight.
should now also prove its willingness
to accept the fortunes Of war in
manly spirit and demonstrate. by an
old-time victory, that It is too magnan-
imous to sulk.

Prove Il or Retract.

The charge of the chairman of the
Maryland Republican committee, Con-
gresham George l.. Wellington, that
Senator Quay is helping Senator Cor
man, the Democratic leader in Mary
land, Is denied by Senator Quay, as is
natural. 1t will not receive credence
until thoroughly supported by proof
This Is the language of Chairman
Welllngtons accusation: There is no
doubt about 1t. We know 1t to be a
fact. Quay Is helping German with
all his skill and ability. German and
Quay, although Of different political
parties, are known to be closely allied
in many matters before congress. and
1t is perfectly natural that they should
help each other in fights like the one 60
ing on here, and we know that Quay
is now aiding German in every way he
can. I intend to expose the whole
scheme, and show Quay up before the
country in his true light, and before his
party for just what he is. 1t Is our
intention to let the people know just
WHdL SuTl VI HleH tileSe Two DOSSeS are,
and how they work together. the one as
a Republican and the other as a DEM
ocrat. 1t will be part of my duty to
show Quay up to the Republicans in
his true light. and shall certainly do
1t before 1 am through with him."
1t Is matter of simple Justice to
Senator Quay to say that while there
has at various times been opposition to
his leadership within the Republican
party of Pennsylvania, the charge of
party treason has never even been
whispered. Senator Quay is a man
whose activity in public affairs extends
over more than quarter of a century
and who has. in that time incurred in
veterate enmities; yet never once until
this moment has ne been charged with
recreancy to Republican principles or
Republican candidates. If Chairman
Wellington. Of Maryland. is correctly
quoted he should prove his accusations
or be forced to utter an equally public
apology.

For g Short Campaign.

The Scranton board of trade will
the action of the Cleveland, o., board
in adopting resolutions favoring q short
presidential campaign. Upon this point
the business interests of the country
are practicany unanimous. Long cam
paigns no longer are necessary; but If
they were it would be questionable If
they should be worth their cost to the
business of the nation--a cost which is
measured in disarranged trade. general
distraction from ordinary duties and
lowered profits
The adoption Of resolutions by inhu-
entail boards or trade urging upon the
various national committeeman to vote
in favor of brlefer than usual can
vass next year is timely and desirable.
There is especial need of such action in
this state, where both the national
committeeman, David Martin, and the
foremost Republican leader, Senator
Quay, are on record as opposing the
shortening of the battle. Mr.. Martin
declares very positively that long
campaign is needed to educate the peo-
pie. This, however, does not appear
to be the sense of the people themselves,
If one may judge by the various express
sions of their opinion which are made
by the press of the country. Nine
tenths of the leading newspapers, both
nj fo 1n 90 cy, WI
presidential campaigns. This has al
ready been ascertained by direct cam
vass; and inasmuch as the newspapers
would themselves profit by long fight,
with its sustained excitement and its
consequently increased demand for
news and party literature, 1t would
seem to be a fair conjecture that the
advocacy Of short campaigns by the
press is governed by popular sentiment
rather than by commercial interest.
In any event, 1t Is to be expected that
the professional politicians would, un-
less guided by judgment other than
their own, favor n policy which would
keep them before the public as much
and as long time as possible. This is
on the same principle which influences
actors to want every town to have a
number of theaters and every physician
to wish for sickness and epidemics. 1t
rests with the merchants and the busi-
ness men of the country to decide
whether or not in the matter of deter
mining the length and conditions of the
next presidential canvass the profess
sional politicians shall have things their
own way.

railroads? 1t would be little way sta
tion on the old Erie and Pittsburg
canal-a village of perhaps 500 or GOO
Inhabitants"
This no doubt Is true: 1t certainly is
true that much OF the current prejudice
against railroads originates in ignor-
arce of their real value to the commun-
ity and tends to no good ends. At the
same time 1t should be borne in mind
that IL railroads aid in the develop
ment of towns along their line the pro-
cess has a reactlonary value to the
railroads themselves, which. under
prudent and honest management, are
thereby made more profitable as in
vestments.
There are two sides to the question,
and Judge Miller appears to have con-
fined his vision to the side represent
ing the railroads. A better attitude
would be to deal fairly with both sides,
which, if oftener done in courts of JUS
tice, would quickly tend to allay much
Of the feeling which exists against rail-
way corporations as a class.

San Juan county, which is saying
considerable, and is happily located;
being easy of access from all parts of the
county. The grounds, proper, are
covered with grass and mosS. with just
enough shade trees for comfort. In
front is fine gravel beach and nice
little bay. A dancing pavilion will be
erected, as will also IL building suitable
for cooking and other necessary work
1t is proposed to hold the next picnic
about the 10th of August, when We can
