THIRD LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT.

In pursuance of a resolution Of the
standing committee Of the Third legisla-
tive district Of Lackawanna county, no.
tce Is hereby given of a convention to be

tration room of the court house, Scranton,
at p. M, for the purpose of electing a
delegate to represent said district in the
state convention to be held at Harrisburg
on Aug. 2S. 1895, and for the transaction of
such other business as may properly come
before 1t.
The primaries for the election Of dele
gates will be held at the several regular
polling places on Saturday, Aug. 3, 1895,

the vote of the Pike delegate and that
of both the Carbon representatives
were credited to Gllkesoh. Later In

is more than offset by the addition Of
one Tioga and one Blair delegate to the
Gilkeson column. leaving the admins
tration still sixty-one votes ahead. This
is estimate that errs. e az all. upon
the conservative side. Senator Quay Is
beaten.

Roosevelt to His Critics.


Roosevelt to His Critics:
At as matter Of cold Tact. Police Com
missioner Roosevelt has his critics we'll
on the hip when he says: III 1t 10 right
t. violate this excise law because a
large number Of people want to violate
II, then 1t Is right to violate any law
for the same reason. II II IL right for
the poor man or for any other man to
violate the law In order to get beer on
Sundays. then It IL right for him to
violate the law In order to get bread
OH any other day. It is more important
for him to get food than It Is for him
. get drink and there is much more to
be said In favor Of the relaxing OF law
for the sake of the hungry thief who
would steal bread than there Is to be
said in favor OF the man who Is not
hungry at all. but who chooses to spend
on liquor the money he ought to keep
for his wife and children. The people
police department would do well to re-
member that the connivance OF the pO-
lice in the old-time illegal selling Of
liquor was the most fruitful source Of
corruption that there was in the police
department"
Nor Is his other remark less happy
that ut Is amusing to look back and
see how many people told US that we

no matter how hard we tried. They
called our attention to the fact that
Mayor Hewitt had tried 1t and failed,
and that Superintendent Byrnes had
tried 1t and failed. So they said that
we must fail Well. we have tried 1t
and We have succeeded. We have en-
forced thelaw and we are going to go on
enforcing the law steadily and without
any change save in the direction of in
creasing yigor. We stand simply upon
the platform Of honest government, of
honest enforcement Of the law, and our
opponents. however they may seek to
dodge the issue. really stand In favor
of the dishonest enforcement of the
law. We fear only that the agitation
will cease. If it continues we have no
doubt as to its ultimate results"
One Of the instructive features Of life
is the frightful squealing and yawping
and vituperative abuse which vice al
ways gives vent to, the moment It
plunks squarely up against public
full duty.

that he will be master Of the federal pat

own hints as to what q senator may do

Is. OF course. based on low and mer-

other argument for asking loyalty than

MIR. Quay's pretensions in the present cam
paign. 1t Is the constant repetition OF this
threat to control or to coerce the next Re-
publican administration at Washington
into submission to his demands. OF
| course, there are some possibilities that
may interfere with these assumptions.
1t Is quite possible that the next president
will not be a docile creature of Mr.. Quay's.
1t Is quite possible that he may contract
the habit. as Mr.. Harrison had. at least
during the latter part Of his term, of max
Ing Pennsylvania nominations on his own
Judgment. 1t ds quite possible. too. II he
should have such habit. that there may
be enough Republican senators to sustain

tons. Bot whatever these possibilities
may be. 1t II clear that now Is the time to
defeat any plan of prescription that Mr.
Quay and his friends may contemplate in
the future as q result Of the next presi-
dental election. The present campaign
against him AZ a candidate for state chair
man IL founded on demand for fair play
now and hereafter. 1t Is intended to put
an end at once and for good to the one
man power In the party. Its success will
make II impossible for Mr.. Quay to de
liver Pennsylvania In the next national
convention as his pocket convenience or
to confront the Republican president with
the assumption that he Is the only Penn
sylVania Republican whose wishes must
be respected regarding the affairs OF this
state. Senator Quay would be wise II he
suppressed these threats OF setting up q
guillotlne In the senate In 1897 for men who
do not bow allegiance to his decrees
