The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-08-03
FOREST CITY.

We had expected an attempt would
have been made to deny some Of the
facts given In our former articles, but
presume self-styled Fair Play" will
wait until too late for US to show up
in its true light what he has to say.
But 1t will not avail. The voters of
Forest City cannot be duped and will
show tonight that neither abuse nor the
sweet persuasions of Tommy Kilrow,
the failing courage Of his helpers. will
prevent them from voting according to
their own free will.
The Hastings men In this borough
have no Doodle to spend. no beer to
fling, nor do they canvass the town
with a box Of cigars under their arm.
They depend solely on the fact that
they are fighting for the right and for
a principle vital to our form of govern
ment. Namely, that no man shall be
allowed to override the constitution of
our state, and they propose, by their
votes, to support Governor Hastings
in his noble stand against political tyr
amy and dictation and for government
for, by and Of the people.
It's dollars to doughnuts that the
Second ward goes for Hastings two to
one, and that the Fhst follows suit with
a clear majority.
A vote for Frank Hollenback and
Lew Jones in the First ward, and DIR.
Blakeslee and Benjamin Maxey in the
10 fnr nd
against bosses at home, as we'll as
throughout the state.
The fact that one Of the Hastings
delegates holds an honored position un-
der the Hudson Canal and Iron COM
pany has been used by the Quay sup
pOrters as the basis for q most base
and detestable charge against all four
candidates. They want the voters
to forget that one of the Hastings dele
gates is a professional man, and two
of them are miners. one working here
the other at Vandling, and that all Of
them are eminently respected and hon
ored citizens Of our town. The time
has not yet come. unfair Play" when
the fact that a man who by many years
of faithful service has been raised to a
superior position cannot conscientious
ly be the recipient Of any honors the
people wish to bestow on him, and as
has been assured us by number of our
citizens. your methods will recoil on
your own head at the polls.
A vote for Hollenback. Jones, Blakes-
lee and Mackey Is for the searchlight
on the school board records.
How about our Second ward Justice
Of the peace?
It's Clifford's new trestle against a
toothpick that DR.. Blakeslee will be
delegate this time.
Wonder how much was made of that
postoffice deal with the Democrats.
Could you guess where the political
lightning will strike after Hastings
wins?
The Quay men. after having been con-
fronted with the proof that George Es-
may was elected county committeeman
In place Of L. p. Wedeman, who had
removed from that ward, which was
published in the News at that time,
and since c. 8. Alexander has made
the statement that he made out Mr.,
Esmay's credentials and gave them to
W. Fl. Wildenberger to file with the
county chairman. are loudly claiming
that his election was Illegal that coun-
ty committeeman cannot be elected at
the winter caucuses. What seems to
be illegal in the Second ward was per-
fectly legal In the First ward. Harry
Joseph. one Of the committeeman in
that ward, moved In the Second ward,
and W. U. Lott was elected to fill the
vacancy: Notwithstanding that Mr..
Lott is at the present time resident OF
the Second ward. his name is on the
caucus notices In the First ward. Do
not the same rules apply to both
wards? or course It does. and the yot-
ers know It. NH
