Preparing to Ratify.

There can be no mistaking the sim
.erity and the enthusiasm of the multi
tudes who are visiting Major Mckinley
at Canton Their esteem of the Repub-
lican nominee is genuine and generous
beyond recent parallel in American
political history. Their devotion to Re-
publican principles Is unbounded.
In the record of post-convention cele-
brations there is no duplicate Of the
tribute paid to William Mckinley last
Friday by the women Of Canton. 1t was

recognition of home life which is abso-
lutely without spot. Events are fast
fulfilling our prediction that the nominee
of the st. Louis convention would de-
velope into the most popular candidate
for responsible office that ever stood for
the suffrage of the American people.
1t is eminently fitting. therefore. that
the Republicans of Scranton. keeping
step with the awakened Republicanism
Of the nation, should prepare to ratify
that welcome nomination. The people
CT Scranton have seen and heard Nc
Kinley. They feel in an unusual sense
a personal interest in his candidacy
They will be glad to cooperate in an
enthusiastic tribute to one of the best
specimens of American craftsmanship
known to our annals.

The Gentry verdict In Philadelphia
conforms to obvious justice. That form
Of amntory frenzy which seeks vent in
wilful assassination Is in need of reso-
lutte discouragement. The death SEN
tence cannot be better employed than
by ridding society of those love-crazed
flends who exhibit their affection by
numbering its victims.

Words of Deserved Praise.

Apt eloquent and appropriate was the
speech Of Charles Emory Smith at the
monster ratification meeting at Canton
Saturday. If it was personal in its tone
Of tribute and Endorsement. it was only
a reflex of the thoughts of the American
people. We quote one excerpt
II congratulate you upon the supreme
honor which comes to the man whom
you, in your love and faith, have given
to public life, and l congratulate him
upon the personal devotion and long
and loyal support of such people as
see before me. No man can hold the
continued fidelity Of such a people with
out being worthy Of the broadest trust.
This earnest and high minded commun-
ity represents and reflects the intelli-
gence, judgment and patriotism of the
great American people. To preserve the
full and constantly growing confidence
of such constituency requires services
of the highest standard, and is itself
the pathway and the title to the conf
dence Of the whole country.
"The great rulers of the Republic have
for the most part sprung from such
communities. The Lincoins, the Grants,
the Garflelds, the Blaines and the Harri.
sons have met the highest demands Of
the nation because they have grown up
with the flavor of the soil and in close
touch with the plain people. To this
immortal roll Of the peoples leaders
Major Mckinley comes by the right of
popular choice and an anointment
unsurpassed in all our history.

Able, upright and true, he is worthy of
the association. Speaking with person.

I shall not, I trust, overstep the bounds
Of good taste and propriety when say
that in his personal dignity and charac-
ter, in the fragrance and graces of his
home life, he is well matched with his
chief, and that this ticket as whole
and In each of its parts, in its stainless
personality and In it's sweet home infiu-
ences, addresses itself in the largest
measure to the approval and confidence
Of the millions of American homes.
"The Republican party has never
shown itself worthier of It's high mis-
sion than in its action at st. Louis. It
has never risen to a loftier plane Of
principle and courage"
Pennsylvania is not prouder of the
men thus euloglzed than 1t is Of their

Sheriff Clemons Is to be commended
for his stand in declining to give out
morbid information concerning the
prospective execution Of one Of the
county's condemned assassins. The
publication Of CORY details on such a
subject may be popular; in fact, It is.
But 1t is none the less a mistake. If
every county had q sheriff who would
keep as close clutch upon the Jail as
Lackawanna's present sheriff does, the
decline in popular mawkishness with
respect to capital criminals would soon
become conspicuous.

The most important campaign since the
war is ended, and again, as then, the peo-
pie of the United States have risen in their
might, unitedly, and laid low forever an at
tempt upon the life of the nation. The pre-
dictions of an overwhelming triumph for
Mckinley, honest money and protection to
American industries have been more than
realized. Every state in the Union has in
some way spoken for the right, either by
the magnificent majorities for Mckinley or
by the meager plurallties by which the boy
demagogue has carried the silver states.
The attempt to force the United States into
a season of ruin,. despair, disgrace and desc
lation has been nobly checked, and not only
checked but completely broken up, and

the cause of open mills and prosperity. But

Judge Smiths victory is cause of great
rejoicing among the citizens of this county.
Again, by his election, have the people made
it known that political trickery is not in
favor and that mans word in politics is
by the people at large, regarded as sacred
promise.
Mr.. Kllpatrick's majority in this county
for Senator shows the confidence the people
have in him. BY the straight votes In Ing

is defeated. Here again the combnationists
must take republican.
The election of f. M. Shepard was FORE

in ability that no republican doubted his
election.
Judge Bush has nearly as large a ma

satisfaction of the people over his work.

Against the constant cry that his opponent
was strong man, a hard fighter and had

a large number of votes to spare, being but
few behind the rest of the popular candi-

the republican party-uniting in counties,
in representative and senatorial districts; on
congressman; the results show that every
state officer has over so, 900 majority, 26 out
of 80 senators have been chosen from the

fourths ofthe representatives are republican.

yet we cannot but add that his nomination

would have had republican congressman
