WHAT CONNELLISM HAS DONE.

From the Scranton Critic.
There is undoubtedly great deal OF
'Connellism' in this community. Ii is
seen and felt in every direction. First.
we have "Connellsm' in business. 1t has
been the means of rearing perhaps not
less than score of successful financial
manufacturing and commercial institu-
tlons in the city and valley, giving en-
ployment to many hundreds of people, die
rectly and indirectly. and contributing TO
the development and enterprise of the
community. Second. We have "ConneIl.
ism in the promotion of the organized
benevolent and charitable institutions of
the city. bringing relief to and shelterin;,
the unfortunate and distressed. Third
we have "Connellism'' in the furthering Of
the religious and educational interests Of
this and other sections of the country
Finally. the truth compels us to admit
that we have "Connelism'' in our politics.
and ii is the only variety of this ism"
that has been misrepresented.
1t is not necessary to discuss what
"Connellism" has accomplished in other
respects. and we propose TO elucidate it
briefly only in its connection with politics.
What is called "Connelism' is nOthin. ..
more nor less than popular revolt in the
Republican party of Lackawauna conn
ty against the selfish leadership of the
past, Il ledutfS1lp tllI nau become b!S-
tasteful, offensive and unbearable by rel-
son of its selfshness, greed and overbeai-
ing tyranny. Mr.. Connell was virtually
forced against his own inclinations into
the leadership of this revolt. lie has
sought no political honors for himself.
but, on the contrary. has frequently de-
clned the highest honors of his party
when urged to accept. "Connelism" in
the politics of the city Of Scranton and
with genuine. aggressive Repuhlicanism.
it fights its battles inside the lines of the
Republican party and recognizes no polit-
ical opponent except the Democracy.
Under this so-called "Connellism" Re-
publican majoriies have grown wonder
fully in the city and county, and a high
order of public administration is the re-
suit The people are not tired of Com
nellism'' in business or politics. and few
dethroned leaders cannot make 1t obnoy-
ious by false charges and misrepresen Ia
tion.

The Meeting at the ArmOry.

The address of ex-Mayor Powderly
at the ArmOry on Saturday night was
an effective rebuke to those who have
impugned his motives in exercising his
constitutional right to act with the po-
litical party of his choice. Mr.. Powder
ly believes that under present condi-
tions the Republican party is the party
whose principles are of greatest value
to the country, the party which offers
the largest measure of protection to
labor and the most bounteous prospect
of general prosperity. Believing this,
he would be recreant to his own con-
victions and false to his obligations as
citizen If he We're to decline to CO.
operate with that party and to work
for its success.
Nor can he be justly criticized for
supporting. in this canvass. the Repub-
lican local ticket. The claim of the
Democratic leaders that any race or
class is bound hand and foot to the
Democratic party and that Irish
Americans, in particular. are to be
branded as traitors for exercising the
right of suffrage as they may deem best
calculated to promote the public good,
is both absurd and repugnant. 1t is
not exacted of Americans that they be
members Of one political party only.
The American would be quick to re-
sent any attempt on the part of any
party to label him as it's especial prop
erty. Have not our fellow -ctizens of
Irish descent an equal right to think
for themselves and to act freely, as
their own judgment shall dictate?
We commend to our readers the re-
port. in another column. of the speeches
made Saturday evening. at the Armory
mass meeting. 1t presents the issues
fairly and aptly.

DESERVE No RFCO6NITION.

From the Scranton Critic.
Men who are loyal TO their party only
when they are themselves the beneficial
rics of its honors and official erloluments
deserve no recognition as Republicans.
certainly not as leaders of the party.
There is just one honorable course open
to those who call themselves true Re-

city, and that is to repudiate the appeals
of disloyai party men and stand by the
nominees of their party. In this course

The Issue as to the MayOralty.

Irrespective of side issues. injected
into the campaign to confuse the voters.
one of two men must be elected mayor
of Scranton tomorrow, for the next
three years-Colone Ripple or Mr..
Bailey. 1t is admitted that under or
dinary circumstances there would be
absolutely no question of an over
whelming victory for the former. Those
who fight him concede his superior
qualifications for the Office, acknowl-
edge his larger and longer experience
in municipal affairs and testify to his
strength and independence of private
character. The ostensible basis of
their attack unon him is that he is the
friend of another. at whom they would
strike through him.

mayors are wanted, not for their abil-
ity, for their integrity. for their long
and unselfish devotion to public inter-
ests. but for their acceptability to po-
ltical soldiers of fortune.
All talk about "Connellism' or any
other ism is now fruitless and point
less. The issue, fair and frank, is
Ripple or Bailey: Republicanism or
Democracy; approved experience or
uncertain experiment. Upon this issue
must the taxpayers prepare to vote. in
the SOLDERING knowledge that the ver-
dict Of their ballots will determine the
matter for three full years TO come.

dangerous railroad tracks on West
