COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Real Issue In Chester Stated,

Kennett Advance: "Quay and Cameron,
or rather Cameron and Quay. are the Is
sues in this county and those who are Op-
posing both these gentlemen do not pro-
pose to allow the situation to become
clouded by the introduction Of Gilkeson
or the Philadelphia combine. Gilkeson
may be a bad man. but whatever he Is
he was Quay's man originally. and he is
responsible for him, but that does not
matter in this present instance when more
important concerns are to be considered.
Senator Quay's strife for the insignificant
office Of chairman Is the first feint in the
movement for the reelection of Cameron,
and the people of Chester county do not
want that"

Barron's London Letter.


Much has been said in time past Of the
exemplary character Of English politics
as compared with the tactical and venal
system pursued In Americt. Perhaps
there Is some advantage Of morals and Or

many respects the practices here nre

Today's Convention.

Today the delegates elected on Satur-
day In the Third legislative district of
Lackawanna county will meet in con-
ventlon to elect the delegate who VIII
represent that district In the state con-
ventlon on the 2Sth inst. This will COM
plete the preliminary work In Lacka-
wanna. In no county in the state lex
cepting possibly Luzerne). have the
Republicans presented more solid
front in defense of Governor Hastings
administration. For some reason Sena-
tor Quay selected Lackawanna for a
preliminary, or test, battle ground. He
came here in person, made the most
earnest appeals to prominent Republi-
cans to stand by him, even when he
knew that many of them could not do
so without the basest ingratitude to
Governor Hastings. The same course
was adopted by him in Luzerne county.
The senator spent three days in these
two counties, and when he left he ex-
pressed the greatest confidence that he
had succeeded in his mission.
The Republicans Of Lackawanna have
acquitted themselves with credit and
honor. Senator Quay expected the i'm
possible of them; more than that, he de-
manded OF them what would have been
d.shonorable had they yielded. In send
ing a solid delegation to the state con-
vention for Willard, Rice and Hast
ings the Republicans Of this county
have acted honorably and have at the
same time served the very highest in
terests Of the Republican party. The
delegates chosen from the three dis
tricts, and the one to be chosen today
from the other, are all representative
Republicans of the best type. They
will be faithful to the trust reposed in
them. Senator Quay claims even yet
that some Of these delegates are his
friends and will vote for him for chair
man of the state committee. Any such
claim is a mere pretense for which
there is no foundation whatever.

Hazeton Sentinel: Don't be deceived
by Quay and the new county!
Don't send delegate for the man who
made two Democratic governors.
Don't take advice from Democrats.
Don't fail to stand by Gilkeson.
Don't forget that while Gilkeson was
state chairman we elected a governor by
100000 majority.
Don't forget that when Quay and An
drews were chairman we elected Patti
son, Democrat, by 5.444 majority"

Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette: Governor
Hastings will never show the white
feather. He was compelled to enter the
fight, and he was never known to recede
from a position once honestly entered
upon. He believes that the Republican
party In Pennsylvania will be best served
by continuing Colonel Gilkeson as chair
man, and he intends to accomplish this
with the assistance Of the Republicans
of the state"

of the present Republican faction fight.
Presently the war will be over and Re-
publican harmony will be more dense

SO emphatically that he will not again
be candidate for president, Hon. Will
lam r. Morrison, of Illinois. is being
urged to the front. The Honorable
Horizontal is always ready for any
thing that comes along. and the Repub-

Stevenson, who is also an Illinois man,
will not take kindly to this Morrison
move. Mr.. Stevenson Is himself an as
pirant for promotion.

The valiant Colonel Mcclure, Of the
Philadelphia Times. has turned aside
for a moment from his defense Of Sena-
to Quay to indulge in one Of his peri
odical attacks on Captain John c. De-
laney. The latter, as custodian of pub
lie buildings and grounds, has pur-
chased supplies for some of the depart
ments and some friend Of Mcclure has
evidently failed to secure contracts.

Chairman Gilkeson claims that the
election of the delegates in Luzerne
county settles the question as to which
faction will have control Of the state
convention. He now sees his way clear
to assured success, supposing, of course.
that the Hastings people in Philadel-
phia will accomplish what they prom
ise. The conventions in that city will
be held in two weeks, and there Is no
proba bility that Quay will secure more
than half a dozen Of the seventy. A
week ago the senator went to Philadel-
phia declaring his purpose to take per-
sonal charge of his campaign and re-
mained two or three days and then
hastened westward. He says he will
return, but 1t is more probable that he
found he could accomplish nothing and
proceeded to other fields. Colonel Quay
has lost his grip in Philadelphia and
Allegheny. as he has in the anthracite
coal counties,

From present appearances the only
music that will be heard in the vicinity
Of the Dickson works this season will be
that made during the day by employees
of the boiler shops. The free concert
project seems to have died without an
overture. Court house square Is the
proper locality for a band stand. and
Mr.. Bauer's musicians cannot be
blamed for refusing to play in the To-
cality that had been selected. To Mr.
AthertOn and the citizens who gener-
ously contributed to the free concert
enterprise, the thanks of the public are
due, even though the entertainments
were not success musically speaking.
No good reason for the refusal of the
county commissioners to allow the
band stand place on court house
square appears on the surface at this
time. 1t Is to be regretted that the
trouble taken by public spirited citi-
zens with a view to affording pleasure
able entertainments for people who can
afford few recreatious has been inef-
fectual through the action Of the three
men in charge Of the court house
square.

latter submitted to arbitrary dictation
until near the close Of his term. and
then revolted. Hastings revolted at
sisted upon being governor Of Pennsyl-
vania himself. Hoyt went outside the
party to fight his tormentors: Hastings
fights his battle inside the party lines.
That Is about the only difference.

Mr.. Cleveland remains in the presiden-
tial chair. He would not approve any
bill Republican congress might pass
that modified the existing tariff laws
In the interest of our suffering indus
tries. Mr.. Cleveland regards the Will
German tariff as wise and whole
some measure and will not consent to
a revision that mOdifies its provisions
in any material particular.
When the Democrats in the last con-
gress struck down the Mckinley tarih
act they struck blow at the treasury
that has crippled It. The revenues
speedily fell off to such an extent as to
create a deficiency. That deficiency
has been constantly increasing under
the Cleveland administration. If Cleve-
land were a wise and patriotic states
man, he would comprehend the imperi-
GUS necessity for inaugurating differ
ent policy, even though 1t were essen
tial to convene congress in extra ses-
sion, or to put in Secretary Carlisle's
place a statesman and natural financier
equal to the exigencies of the situation.
Senator Quay's threat to defeat Con-
gresham Leisenring's proposed bill for
a federal building in Wilkes-Barre II
Luzerne failed to send Quay delegates
to the state convention. appears to have
been without effect. Mr.. Leisenring
himself Immediately took off his coat
and proceeded to show that he wasn't
scared. Threats of that description
never amount to much among self-re-
specting people.

There Is some more annexation talk
in Hawaii as we'll as in the United
States, but that kind Of talk might as
well be abandoned for the time being.
If General Harrison had been reelected
president, Hawaii would unquestiona-
bly, today be a territory Of the United
States. The further discussion Of the
annexation question might as we'll be
deferred until the Republicans shall
have been restored to power in 1896.
Then annexation will again be in order.
The present republican form Of govern
ment in Hawaii is strong enough to
maintain itself.

Ouay's "Oreat Victories"

The Quay organs, notably the Phila-
delphia Inquirer and Times, yesterday
gloated over the great Quay VIC
tories" achieved in the primary elec-
tions on Saturday. On that day dele
gate elections were held In seven coun-
ties, and in one Legislative district In
another. The organs Of the senator
claim complete success in Elk. Snyder,
Clinton, Dauphin, Susquehanna and
Huntingdon, and partial victory IN
Luzerne. For wonder they concede
that Quay was defeated in the Third
district of Lackawanna. Fifteen dele
gates they claim for Quay and concede
seven to Hastings as the result of these
primaries. As a matter of fact the
counties Of Elk. Snyder, Clinton and
Dauphin, eight all told. were conceded
to Quay in advance Of the elections,
and in some of them there was not
even any contest. The capture or
Huntingdon was the only surprise Of
last Saturdays primaries. and Just
how 1t was accomplished will doubtless
appear later. Susquehanna has been
an unknown quantity all along and
Quay's adherents have never doubted
that they would win there-whether or
not they have done SO will appear when
today's county convention has done Its
work. The claim that Quay has cap
tured three Of the Luzerne delegates Is
mere brazen presumption. The actual
result of Saturdays primaries in the
eight counties named is ten delegates
for Hastings ten for Quay. and two
still in doubt.
Throughout this battle Of the fac
tions the Quay shouters have endeav-
ored to keep up their courage by blus-
ter, boasting and bogus claims. When
the first delegate elections were held in
Lackawanna county and the Quay fac
ton was overwhelmingly and dis
astrously beaten they impudently put
forward the claim that our delegates
would nevertheless vote for Quay for
chairman Of the state committee.
When they were similarly defeated in
Northampton, Bucks and Center coun-
ties they Immediately claimed that the
delegates chosen by the Hastings peo-
pie were not inimical to Quay, They
are today claiming score Of delegates
in various sections Of the state as Quay
men, when It is absolutely known that
these same delegates are opposed to
him.
In view Of what has been the policy
of the Quayites ever since the contest
began their extraordinary and buster
ing claims as to last Saturdays pri-
maries was to be expected and will oc-
casion no surprise.

The income tax proved an unprolita-
BILE venture. During the few days the
law remained in operation $77.131 was
paid into the national treasury. This
sum was collected at cost of nearly
$4,000. And now the amount collected
will have to be returned to the per-
sons who paid 1t, so that the foolish un-
dertaking will probably cost Uncle Sam
not less than 100000. The income tax
in time Of peace was measure of DEM
ocratic origin as we'll as of Democratic
stupidity. Such nonsense would not
have been thought Of If the Republican
party had been In power.

 At Tucson, a syndicate was formed Friday for offering an inducement to wild duck, to take up winter quarters in the vicinity of that town. The gen. tlemen interested in it are K. L.

The edges of the lake are barren, so that as the matter now stands there Is nothing to invite duck immi- grafton but the water. The plan is to SOW wild rice in the water and create a tempting locality. The planting of the rice is something of an experiment. whose success though is more or less assured.
