POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Frank Willing Leach, who Is Just now
the subject Of state comment, made his
first appearance In the political arena in
1888 as secretary Of the state Independent
Republican campaign committee. 1t was
in this position that he attracted the atten-
tion OF Colonel Quay, who subsequently
made him his private secretary and after
ward secretary Of the state Republican
committee. Leach assisted Senator An
drews in the direction Of the Delamater
campaign five years ago. After the nom-
ination and defeat Of Delamater he UNDER
took to nominate Judge Henderson, Of
Crawford. for judge of the supreme court.
and was beaten by Judge Dean, Of Blair.
Two years ago Leach had charge of the
fight in the Legislature against the PhIla-
delphia public buildings commission and
won. After that he was dropped by Sena-
tor Quay because Of his unpopularity and
nothing was heard Of him until last sum-
mer when he tried to organize a movement
to defeat Governor Hastings nomination
by bringing together Congressman Stone.
of Warren, ex-Lieutenant Governor
Watres, Senator Goblin and other embryo
candidates for governor. He suggested
to them to make q contest and the candi-
date receiving the largest number Of dele
gates should be the cho ice Of the combi-
nation. Mr.. Watres refused to enter into
such a compact, Leach was compelled to
abandon the scheme and General Hastings
was nominated by acdlamation. After
this failure Leach retired to political ge-
clusion, meanwhile drawing 5000 a year,
and was not heard of until the present
quarrel. His appearance in state politics
means that II Quay Is elected chairman
Leach will be vice chairman.
Northwestern counties, which were neg
lected In making UP the governors assort-
ment of Judges, have n number of able
jurists whose names will be presented 10
the Republican state convention. Among
them are Judge Henderson. Of Crawford; !;
Samuel A. Davenport, of Erie. and George
A. Berry, of Mexican. The name Of Judge
Stewart, Of Franklin, will also be pre-
sented.
Among those who have been suggested
az the probable successor to Frank Willing
Leach IL Charles Il. Voorhees,, ex-chiof
clerk of the lower house at Harrisburg ahd
at present secretary Of the Philadelphia
Republican city committee Mr.. VOORHEES,,
although not member Of the bar, IL said
to possess O good knowledge Of law and
to be In every way competent TO NIL the po-
sition.

How TO Have pcace,

Pittsburg Times: Senator Quay will
have abundant opportunity during this trip
among the people to see the weakness and
folly Of persisting in his present course,
and let us all hope. for his own and the
party's sake. that no will see this clearly
enough to abandon It. No overtures Of
peace need be made. for nobody ie making
war on him or desires to do so. He has
only to permit peace in the Republican
party in order to have IT,"

Marred by Circ u instances.

Wilkes-Barre Record: ut is to be re-
gretted that Senator Quay's first visit to
Wilkes-Barre should be marred by cir
cumstances which prevented our people
from according him the hearty reception
his exceptional ability deserves. Under
other conditions he would command an
enthusiastic welcome from the Republi-
cans of Luzerne county. But he comes to
us, not as the great captain whose genius
has unified the party In Pennsylvania and
placed 1t in q commanding position, but as
candidate. making q personal appeal for
delegates pledged to overthrow the present
Republican administration. Under these
circumstances he should not expect that
open-hearted welcome which. he would
otherwise have received. and he must not
be disappointed II the men upon whom he
depends decline, even at bis request. 70
place themselves in opposition to the gov
ernor."

Friends Of Colonel e H. Ripple in the
Second Legislative district delegateship
light no doubt by this time realize that
all other issues have, temporarily at
least, given way to a vicious and des-
perate personal attack upon him. This
attack overlooks all that Colonel Ripple
has done for the Republican party, all
that he has done for the city Of scran-
ton and all the numerous Individual
kindnesses which he has at various
1xtsD9ea to, many Of the gentle
3ssr3 erly arrayed against him.
It bbject Is to punish him for
DT5page willard's request vol
80 % another kindness to a
a5y running as his candi5ite
gate; and in that punishment to
his intimate associates and
1n opposition cunningly masks itself
under the Quay banner; but there are
hundreds Of Quay men in Lackawanna
county who. did they but know 1t,
would scor4fully repudiate the personal
ingratitude.ispleen, jealousy and venom
which have entered into this concen-
trated attack on Colonel Ripple. Once
aware Of the facts. as they will be made
aware OF them before next Saturdays
primaries, they, with the coloners other
warm friends, will no doubt rally to his
standard and give the few d!sgruntled
soreheads who are the active agents in
this assault the kind Of trouncing which
- meet chastisement for overzealous
enmity.

Fair PLAY for the Governor.

Philadelphia Press: "Governor Hastings
has not engaged In any factional contest.
Any charge that he has perverts and mis-
represents the facts. He has labored pa
tiently and faithfully from the beginning
Of his administration to avert any such
struggle. He has in repeated cases waived
his own preferences and sacrificed his per-
sonal wishes for the sake Of avoiding diff
ferences. But he found by experience as
he advanced that the only way in which
he could have peace was to abdicate his
functions as governor and to surrender
all independence Of Judgment. All this is
clear to every right-minded man. 1t is
making It's impression through the state.
Republicans are recognizing that the gov.
ernor Is only doing what he has been
driven to do in self-defenss and self-re-
spect. The people like fair play and they
believe the governor ought to have fair
play In his administration"

SCRANTON. JULY 10. 1895.

call For . state convention to meet at
Harrisburg Wednesday. Aug. %. at Il
o'clock q. m, for the nomination of one
candidate for state treasurer, six candi-
dates for judges Of the Superior court,

AS Senator Quay considers the large

now alternating. perhaps permanently.
all because Of a foolish wish to bend
the governor Of this great common
wealth to his wishes as he would bend
clerk or minor servant, we wonder II
he is not sometimes moved to doubt the
wisdom of his gratuitous war. Fight

administration. he possesses q more
sansuine temperament. both politically
and economically. than IL possessed by
the writer Of these lines.

Says the Philadelphia Inquirer:
"The attempt now being made inside
and outside Of Laekawanna county to
array Judge wilisrd's delegates
against Senator Quay shows that there
are in the state some novices In poll
tics. whose services Judge Willard may
not altogether appreciate. who desire
to beat Quay first and let Willard take
his chances. These persons will bear
watching by Wizards real friends"
The attempt Of the Quay crowd in
Lackawanna county to ignore Judge
Wizards claim in grand scramble for
self advancement under cover Of the
Quay banner threatened at one time
to meet with some success: but fortu-
nately that danger is now over.

We notice In q Pittsburg dispatch
that there Is renewed talk Of compro-
missing the state 6ght by the with
drawal OF both Quay and Gilkeson and
the substitution Of Colonel Watres.
WhkI chance there Is Of achieving such
a truce We do not pretend to know: but
If the party at large wants to escape a
good deal Of unnecessary bitterness and
strife, 1t may ere long have to take a
stand. regardless of the fighting chief
tains, in self-preservation. Colonel
Watres, in such case, would certainly
make an ideal chairman.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.
Luserus II for Hastings.


wilkes-Bar Times: "Luxerne county
constitution to two state senators and
eight representatives In the Legislature.
Under the present apportionment laws
Luxerne has one senator and six repre-
sentatives. Governor Hastings. sensitive
to this outrageous injustice. did every
thing In his power to prevail on the lexis-
lature to enact new ana just apportionment
bills. He would have succeeded had not
Senator Quay set up headquarters at Har-
risburg and. with threats Of applying the
lash to every Republican who refused to
obey his orders. and with the aid OF all the
Democratic members present. proceeded to
defeat apportionment. To the everlasting
disgrace Of the Luxerne members OF the
legislature be II said that majority of
them obeyed the orders Of Quay and as
sisted him In depriving the people OF Lu-
zerne Of the representation they are en-
titled to under the constitution. But Tor
Governor Hastings the county OF Luzerne
would also today be in process OF dis
memberment. But for Quay and Quayism
the bill dismembering Luzerne would never
have passed the legislature. Hastings
saved the integrity OF the county. Hast
ings would have given the county the two
senators and eight representatives to
which It is entitled; Quay said no, and
applied the lash Of Quayism to defraud
and deprive the county Of the representa-
ton to which 1t Is entitled. And yet there
are Republicans In Luzerne who are toe
cowardly, or too thoroughly under the
dominance Of Quayism. TO take a manly
stand by the side of the independent. fear
less and Just Republican governor who
would strike tho shackles from Pennsyl-
vania Republlcanism and restore to ind!'
vidual Republicans of this state the sense
of political manhood to which too many
of them have been strangers for years.

Cannot Follow Him.

Pittsburg Times: when Senator Quay
declared open war on the administration
Of Governor Hastings and demanded the
head of a member Of his cabinet as tho
price Of peace, ne said he, would mention
the reasons for this on the floor OF the
state conventiOn'-which will be after ev-
cry delegate has been elected and the con-
test decided. In the meantime, SO long as
the principles are being hsld In which tho
Republicans Of the state can make their
opinions felt. he demands deaf, dumb and
blind obedlence from all who wish to be
considered his friend. To such a demand
for servitude In the miscalled name or
friendship. men with the spirit OF man
hood In them can give but one answer.
and SO 1t has come about that one after
another Of the well-known Republicans
who have been the SENATOR'S strong friends
In all his past contests have declined to
follow him in this cruel and undeserved
Campaign Of assassination against q
worthy Republican leader. Such crea-
lures as Andrews and Leach, and the
venomous little coterie Of reckless mer-
cenaries who engineered the Delamater
abomination five years ago, are as Jealous
as ever for any battle that promises them
power and plunder, but they make ignoble
substitutes for the strong men who would
still be his friends II he would but permit
them to be so with decent self-respect."
