POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Democratic vigilant committees
of the borough met on Saturday even
ing at the TRIBUNE office and organized
by electing d. j. Boyle chairman and
John McCole secretary. They discussed
the different methods of making nomi-
nations, and it was agreed that three
delegates be elected from each district
on Saturday evening next between
4 and o'clock. The delegates elected
will meet at the opera house on Monday
evening next at o'clock. After the
delegate elections in each district candi-
dates for Judge of election, inspector
and register will be nominated. The
delegates elected are to meet and pre-
pare a code of rules to govern future
Democratic conventions in the borough
District committeeman to conduct the
campaign will be selected by the candi-
dates nominated at the convention
The following were selected to act as
viglants at the coming delegate cleo
tons:
First district-Patrick DOORS, Manus
d. Mclaughlin, John d. Heron.
Second district-Alex. Mulhearn, Pat
rick McGeehan, Anthony Gallagher.
Third district-Manus Conaghan. John
Rogan, Condy Gaffney.
Fourth district-D. J. Boyle, James
Dennion, Condy Gallagher
Pittston Democrats have nominated
the following ticket: For mayor, Thos
Maloney; treasurer, E. j. McDonnell:
controller, George Hagadorn The Re-
publican ticket Isl Mayor, DR.. c. j.
Barrett; treasurer, William Abbott; con-
troller, John Lowell.
John j. German requests the TRIBUNE
to state that under no circumstances
will he be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination of school director,
and the use of his name in connection
with the office has been without au-
thority.
Quay's name attached to the new
county plan has acted like wet blanket
on North Side enthusiasm. Shake off
such degrading title. No respectable
would call even a dog by the name of
Quay.
The poor directorship is not exciting
much interest in this part of the district.
| The nominee will be chosen from the
| Weatherly or middle division this year.

BRANDING A CLAIM FALSE.
Worlds Fair officials Expose n Pre-
tender to an Award.

A most discreditable result OF the
late Chicago Worlds Fair is the frau
dulent advertising of awards never
received, by a Chicago baking powder
firm. Officials of the Exposition are
much incensed, and have notified the
offending parties that the mis- state
ments must cease. They are defied,
however. by the Chicago concern, who
continue to advertise the false state
ment that they received the highest
award for strength, purity and excel
lence. Mr.. Thatcher, chief Of Agricul-
tural Awards. shows in his letter that
the awards granted were for an ex-
hibit of baking powder" merely, not
for superiority; while the Judge OF
Awards on Baking Powders writes a
letter saying that mo such award was
given to the Chicago company" as the
company claims and advertises.
Another fact in connection with the
baking powder business at the Chica-
60 Fair has come to light. The iden-
teal baking powder made by the Chi
cagO concern. and S 70 brazenly adver-
tised as having received the highest
award for purity and excellence, 1t

FLIGHT OF THE MUSIC.

Dawn is breaking to the eastward,
Paler grows the gem-decked skies;
Days great king in royal Splendor
From his couch now soon will rise.
Little stars, in seeming terror,
Trembling disappear from sight;
Larger planets, more courageous,
Linger ere they take their flight.
Fen the moon, low in the westward,
Shows less refulgent hue,
And beyond the far horizon
Gracefully retires from view.
Say, this strain is too exalted,
We must rein Pegasus down;
We don't want to pose, doggone it,
AS the greatest bard in town.
