The Reformers' Purity Fund.

We have received information from
what we deem to be q trustworthy
source that OH Tuesday morning last,
in the private Office of Mr.. Scranton in
the Republican building, a fund Of $4,000
was made up by prominent Republi-
cans for use In the campaign in an at
tempt to elect Bailey, Bolan6 and Rob
inson, the Democratic nominees. The
names of these contributors are known
to us. but are for the present with
held.
1t might be asked what reformers of
the Scranton -Fellows-Dale type could
possibly want to do with $1,000 or any
other large sum of money in city
campaign, since they are all so violent
ly opposed to what the Republican
state platform calls "the corrupt use
of money at elections" If it were a
convention instead Of a general cleo
tion, Mr.. Fellows might remember
what he unsuccessfully tried to get y.
Il. Stevens to do for him with the
Delegates" but as it is, the purpose
of the latest fund can only be con-
jectured.
Is there any connection between the
raising of this big sum of money by
Republicans in aid of Democratic can
didates, and the remark of the Demo-
cratic candidate who recently told
friend that he didn't intend to put
cent into the canvass, he would be
taken care of anyhow" Can it be
that the present Democratic candidates
were induced to run by the assurance
Of financial support from the bolting
Republican coterie? This matter would
repay investigation.

To Il person familiar with his career,

wonder he has such facility in the use Of
words descriptive Of political impurity.
Ills whole system Is reekinS with ii. The

his long life of false ard broken promises,

and selling and trading off his colleagues

painful thing to many of those still living,

painful: It is a horrible retribution. Mr..
Thomas D. Davies must certainly feel Il
so. Mr. Davies failed TO heed the warn
ings OF his friends in 1894. but now in the
bitterness of experience ne must realize

might be added. The crime of Mr.. Conneil
consists in his refusal TO he victim. He

ago.
There are very many who will always re-

he was enabled to go back to congress for

We firmly believe that the good sense
and Judgment of the Republican party viii
remain uninfluenced by the rawlings and
shrieks of despair uttered by this man
Scranton in the hour OF his final doom. as
his palsied hand relaxes its grasp upon the
power which he has used in the past so
much to his own advantage and so little
for the good of his followers. Ajax.

A Word in Review.

The Scranton Republican is becom-
ng comical. When it says The Tri-
oune has not disproved a single one
II the many specific charges of cor
'uption that have been boldly made"
BY 1t in pursuance Of it's proprietors
,remeditated plot to wreck the party to
whose coat-tails he has been clinging
.or support ever since he became Of
age. it states what it knows and what
is readers know to be untrue.
The Republican specifically made
Tour charges, and only four. The first
was that in the Twelfth ward Emil
Bonn and others had to open a new
polling place. We have shown the
reason for this action, which was be-
cause the owner of the original polling
place would not admit one of the regu-
lar vigilances, but tried to turn ii into
rump caucus. contrary to all party
rules. The second was that i'm the
First district of the Nineteenth the
ballots were not counted, but that the
return was arbitrarily fixed by the Wig
lance. Our reply to this charge was
presented yesterday in the form of affl-
aavits by Charles Hamm and Joseph
Schreiber. the vigilances, denying the
charge completely. The third was that
In the Fourth district of the Nine
teenth Committeeman Wolf threw the
Moir tickets on the floor, placing Ripple
tickets in the box. This charge Mr..
Wolf denies under oath and il, cor

Captain r1Oir'S Letter.

Captain Moir. in his letter. printed
Elsewhere, denies that he was in the
;cranton-Fellows conspiracy to wreck
he Republican party. and says his
andidacy for mayor stood on its own
ooting. We have not intimated other
wise: the plotters are too old in their
ricks to let too many into a knowledge
# their real plans. Moir was their fig
irehead. The real animus lurked be-
lind him.
The captain intimates that he has
,een ill-treated i'm some way. Does he

an, under its Independent Republican

the regular party organization and
Orced a fight of which, as it since ad
nits, Moir was only an incident? The
aptain had a perfect right To aspire to

expect that those whom Scranton

rdeal and turn the other cheek. He
Exercised his right to be Il candidate;
le made his fight for the nomination;
ie was fairly beaten. Does that justi-
y him or his Republican supporters in
rying to turn the government of the
dty over into Democratic hands?
Captain MOir wastes his loyalty on
Mr.. Scranton. 1t will not be appre-
lated. No man ever got true gratitude
rom Scranton for fealty rendered or
!avors done. To be sure, this is his
,wn lookout. We are merely throw
ng this bit of advice in, as an evidence
" good will. If Captain Moir had re-
used to be q party to any bolt; if he
,ad squared bravely up to his duty
.oward his party, he might have risen
rom momentary defeat to almost any
desired victory in the future. That he
,as fallen between two battle-lines
without good standing in either is Il
misfortune which points anew to the
dangerous consequences of evil politi-
.al companionship.

roborated by an affidavit from his fell
low vigilance. Mr.. Wolf also swears
that the Moir delegate himself tried to
stuff the ballot box, also. his brother
ln-law. The fourth and last specific
charge related to the First district of
the Fifteenth ward. and again we met
the Republicans charge with two affi-
davits and a signed letter. to which
has since been added an affidavit from
the Republicans own witness admit
ting that the count was fair.
OF the Republicans hearsay rumo-s
we have taken no notice and shall not
until the organ of the wreckers puts
its charges into specific and detailed
form. Then We will meet every charge
fairly and frankly. with legal evidence
In rebuttal. AS to the general charge
that Democrats voted at the primaries
on January 4. we have only to say that
for every vote thus east for Ripple we
can point to one cast also for Moir.

Slaudcriny the City,

There is one aspect of the present
fight of the Republican party in this
city against the vultures who have
plotted to pick it to pieces to which we
now refer for the first time. 1t is the
effect of the kickers' calumnies upon
the city's reputation throughout the
state. At home, the falsity of their
hue and-cry is known and understood.
Here, their ISLANDERS are effectually dis
counted; first, by reason of the lack of
character of the men who are foremost
in uttering them, and secondly because
it is understood that the present fusii-
lade of falsiiication is part of a precon-
ceived plot Matched months ago with Il
view to j. a. Scranton's political resur-
rection.
But at q distance it Is not so easy
for spectators to grasp. these details.
Some who read only Mr.. Scranton's pa
per, which they recognize as having
been the first Republican organ to be
established in the city, have no alterna-
tive than to believe that the Republl-
cans of Scranton who supported Col
onel Ripple, Mr.. Williams and Mr.. Wild
mayer at the recent primaries were
mainly thugs, cut-throats and corrup-
tionists; and that the party leadership
i'm Scranton is held by men of satanic
chara cteristics against the protests of
dove-like purists and unwinSed angels
such as Mr. Scranton, Mr. Fellows and
Mr.. Dale now represent themselves to
be. More than that they are liable to
form the impression that the municipal
government of Scranton is a sink of
corruption, and that every other citizen
in these parts is ready either to buy or
to sell his vote to the highest bidder
In other words, the work which the
Scranton Republican is doing these
days is not only hurtful to Republican,
ism at home but injurious to the city
abroad, carrying where they cannot
easily be met and refuted impressions
as false as they are damaging.
Among the Republicans who support
ed Captain Moir at the recent primaries
there ought to be very few who can view
with equanfmity such a wanton black
ening of the city's reputation. a fair
and manly fight for a party honor is
one thing; but the cowardly work OF
the sneak and of the har Is quite an
other. Legitimate difference of person.
al preference at political primaries is
no excuse for deliberate personal viliii-
cation and the wholesale slander OF
city and of party. Even the despera-
tion of a trickSter at the end of his
last halter does not cancel party obll-
cations covering a lifetime of mainten-
ance in profitable political office nor
Justify the attempt to taint whole city
with the virus of his individual venom.

We presume it Is all right for Mr..
Scranton to enter into alliances with
Democratic candidates, hold secret
conferences with them behind screened
windows and give and exact pledges
