The Democratic Idea.

1t is related of the Connecticut early
settlers that they resolved to be gov
erned by the laws of God until they
could get time to make better ones. This
was before they hung men, burned
witches and prosecuted for righteous
ness sake Even So when what used
to be known as the Democratic party
suddenly and unfortunately and unac-
countably had power thrust upon 1t,
resolved that the people should be gov
erned by Republican laws and Repub-
lican policy until It had time to enact
the laws and promulgate the policies
that have shaken the financial and COM
mercial stability OF the country. shat
tered confidence, leaving nothing but
ruin and desolation in their awful trail
But for faith in the Republican party
the business, the commercial and the
labor interests of the country would lie
down In utter despair. But history JUS
tihes the hope that the party which
has never failed In an emergency will
successfully meet the stern require
ments OF the hour and that, in 1876.
IL II Is not a Reed or a Mckinley or a
Harrison II may be one of Pennsylva-
MAS own illustrious sons whom we all
delight to honor, who will lead the
intelligence and the patriotism of the
country out of the chaos of Democratic
misrule into the sunshine of Republi-
can order and prosperity.
Thus will history repeat itself and the
party OF the people and of progress and
of prosperity will again do honor To
its greatest and best eNponent-the
man whose name and whose memory
will be reverred as long as single lover
of human liberty survives-Abraham

Eloquent Address Delivered bya
Wcllknown Scrantonian.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Williamsport, Feb. 12.-The dinner
given in this city tonight by the Lincoln
Republican club, in honor of the birth
day of Abraham Lincoln, was attended
largely by prominent politicians from
all over the state who had gathered to
pay tribute to the memory of the
martyred president.
The dinner was an occasion fraught
with good cheer and eloquent oratory.
Attorney General II. Clay Mccormick,
whose home is at Williamsport, was a
leading spirit at the gathering, which
included the foremost statesmen of the
commonwealth. The feature of the
evening was the speech Of Lieutenant
Governor Watres, of Scranton.
Lieutenant Governor Watres spoke as
follows:
Since the recent election every one
knows that the Lycoming Republicans
are uniformly 'girded with a sword
upon their thigh" and that, by educat-
ing the people, you have turned and
overturned the enemy within your
jurisdiction until Republican ideas pre-
vailed. This erstwhile Democratic fort
ress has been captured and re-mod-
elled into Republican camp whose
zeal and fire have shed lustre in the
halls of legislation, and from your
midst and membership has been select
ed Il distinguished Republican lawyer
| and statesman who will grace with sig
| nal ability the law department of this
commonwealth.
This club of yours is recognized as
an important factor in adding to the
fame of the party and the state. and in
such a presence IL would be presump-
| tion to tell of the history or the destiny
of the party. under whose banner YOU
