Ti,Iman's Sensational Speech.

The speech of Senator Tillman In
the senate Wednesday, when read IN
full. gives the reader a shock; but like
most innovations we are not sure that
the shock will not eventually do good.
Tillman let's his zeal run away with
him i'm many places, and therefore says
things about the president, about MS
fellow senators. about millionaires, and
about established institutions general
ly. which are not true. Some of the
remarks made by hin1,as when he calls
the president a conspirator, a judas
and a traitor, are execrable violations
of taste: but that, back of these indis-
cretions is fabric of common sense
cannot be denied by the most shocked
of sticklers for senatorial tradition.
1t is true that Cleveland as a presi-
dent has been failure. 1t Is true that
his civil service reform promises have
since gone to the protest which awaits
the notes of all reformers who work
the reform dodge for what there is in
it. 1t is true that the United States
senate has oft times ceased to remem-
Der it's debt Of duty to the plain people.
and has rather devoted itself and its
energies to the large corporations. All
these things in Tillman's speech are
true, and those who heard him say
them knew at the time that he was
speaking the truth. or course, he might
have been more delicate in the manner
in which he said them. He tore his
passion into rather too many and too
kconspicuous tatters; and he permitted
his Imagination too often to o'erleap

TINE FAKE CRY or wolf"

From the rOlyphant Record.
The Republican forces of the city OF
Scranton are somewhat torn, The party
will not present an unbroken phalanX to
the enemy in the coming election. And
yet, to the calm observer, there Is very
little doub, but the Ripple Williams-Wih-
mayer ticket will be elected. The Rick
ers are good shouters, but they have been
at the business for SO long time that the
eIeetorssare well versed in their tactics
ands are, mot to be scared by the cry OF
wolf" Emergencies bring foes together.
and to those familiar with the politics OF
the Electric City for the past few years,
it Is a ludicrous spectacle to see old roes
now joining hands to cry down stanch
followers of the Grand Old Party. The
men chosen by the party at the regularly
called convention. are excellent men. Ihey
are worthy of implicit confidence. Their
record will bear investigation. anc on 'or-
mpr occasions have they served the party
with credit and honor. Ex-Mayor Ripple
made an excellent executive In the city ten
wears ago, and today he Is better equipped
for the nayoralty of Scranton than ever.
The electors of the Electric City Will con-
suit their interests by seeing him and MS
MARS elected.

The Penrose Candidacy.

The only new feature evolved In the
fight for the Cameron succession in this
state since the last review Is the formal
entry of State Senator Boies Penrose
into the race. His name has been used
as that of a candidate by his authority,
and 1t is said, with what truth we know
not, that he will have the powerful aid
of Frank Willing Leach, chairman OF
the state executive committee. in set
ting up legislative candidates. through
out the state favorable to himself. 1t
is further asserted that a proposition
of compromise has been offered in
Philadelphia by the Quay faction to
the Martin faction, the terms of which
are that in consideration Of reconcilia-
tion Martin, too. is to turn in for PEN
rose. Whether there is any truth in
| this report or not we do not know; we
give it simply as a surface indication
| that the PenrOse senatorial candidacy
Is a real factor. henceforth worthy of
attention in connection with the prob
lem of Cameron's successor.
With Senator Quay's help. the candi-
dacy of Mr.. Penrose would quickly
prove formidable: and it would doubt
less gain political strength, especially
in Philadelphia, because of the fact
that many who helped to defeat Pen
rose for the Philadelphia mayoralty
nomination have since begun to feel
that perhaps they acted hastily and did
| the senator an injustice. On the other
hand, Penrose's conduct since that de-
| feat has exhibited some signs of bitter
ness and vindictiveness which have left
scars difficult to overlook. One in
stance was shown in the last legislature
| in his treatment of Senator Porter-a
course which weakened Penrose ma.
terially among his warmest friends.
That Penrose's feelings were natural
under the circumstances cannot be de-
MED; but there is a feeling in many
quarters that to be a successful politic-
| ian one should not wear his heart
upon his sleeve, for DAVIS to peck at
A fair estimate of Senator Penrose
| would be that while he has brilliant
abilities and is full of youthful energy
and fire, he is deficient in discretion and
the important power of self-discipline
and control. The fact that his friends
| are warm friends and his enemies bit
ter enemies shows that he does not lack
a personality; and his public record
| teaches that, when he cares to eXer-
| else it. he has head full of brains.
But that he has yet acquired the COM
mand of men and of affairs which
would justify his election to the senate
of the United States is statement to
which we suspect that few persons out
side of his immediate circle of friends
| and supporters would care to sup
scribe.

The Courts the Place.

For many reasons the public Is to be
congratulated that those who have
hitherto made vague and sweeping ac-
cusaticns of fraud at the recent pri-
maries have decided to present their
case in open court. That is the proper
place for such charges. There, accuser
and accused can be brought face to
face, and the truth sifted from both.
The Tribune. in behalf of the regular
Republicans of Scranton, welcomes this
test, and trusts that it will be applied
impartially to suspects of both factions.
Let the innocents be cleared from un-
Just suspicion, and let no guilty man
escape.
Speaking for Colonel Ripple and his
colleagues on the Republican city ticket.
we can say that while every honest
vigilance committeeman will be pro-
tected to the furthest possible limit.
there Is no disposition to extend in
diligence to deliberate violators of the
law. Neither Colonel Ripple nor any Of
his companion nominees Is so destitute
of personal character or popularity as
to require the aid of fraud. either at
primaries or at elections. Their can
vass rests upon the more solid basis of
demonstrated fitness for public office
and known personal integrity. Upon
that basis they go before the people,
and by that sign they intend to conquer.
In the meantime. however. Republi-
cans should not fail to consider who the
men are that utter these charges Of
fraud and what their motives are in
creating the present furore. Let them
fairly weigh the character and the po-
litical practices of the accusers in the
scale against those Of the men at whom
they strike. Let them correctly meas
ure the political caliber of factionists
who, out of revenge for failing to win
at the primaries, coolly propose to
wreck the party at the polls. All these
circumstances should be duly consid-
cred, together with the latest act of the
men who, while declaiming with one
breath against the corrupt use Of
money in politics, with the other, have
contributed thousands of dollars to the
Democratic managers for use against
Ripple two weeks hence. A verdict
reached after such an inquiry will have
emphasis.

The Claims of Mckinley,

The Cleveland World makes by far
the strongest plea yet uttered for Will
liam Mckinley when it calls atten-
tion to the fact that present economic
conditions are the result of a disregard
ing of his warnings, and that the path
way back to prosperity in this coun-
try follows the line pointed out by him
long before the free trade catastrophe
befel. 1t attacks no other candidate,
calls attention to McKinley's clean
personality and to his constant readi-
ness to accept assignments to party
service on the platform. and makes this
appeal to what it calls the strong
party men,:
He Is believer in party organization.
He Is and always has been true friend
to those who bear the heat and burden
Of the day In politics. He has always rec
ognized party leadership. His appoint
ments as governor are evidence of this
What objection therefore can the party
leaders and politicians have TO Mckinley ,
nomination? There really is no objection
to Mckinley. and when the time comes
those who WELD great political power
In their respective states will be the first
to discover that the easiest way for the
Republican party to elect he next presi-
den will be to nominate the man the peo-
pie want. The people at this crisis in our
national affairs demand Mckinley. Pro-
lection and prosperity. They favor Me-
Kinley. not only because of his personal-
ty, but because his election will emphl-
size. more than that of any other candi-
date. disapproval of further destruction
of American industries by free trade leg
islation. They demand Mckinley because
his nomination will insure beyond a per-
adventure that the revenues of this gov
ernment will be sufficient to meet .he
expenses. And Furthermore the demand
for Mckinley Is in no sense a reflection
on the other candidates, but the mos:
practical way to bring about a complete
restoration of prosperity to the nation.
All that the World says I'm McKin-
ley's favor is true. He is a clean man,
an able man. and sSilling party work.

1t also shows that many Irish-Americans
who have during recent years come over
to the Republican party SO far as to vote
with them when important national ana
state issues were at stake, mean hereafter
to fully identify themselves with the
party.
Certain of the Irish-Amer.cans interested
in this new Lackawanna organization,
notably Senator Vaughan and Representa-
tive O'Malley, have heretofore been promt-
nently identified with the Republican par
ty. but there are other members, OF whom
Mr.. Powderly might be taken as an ex-

The Stewart Plan Recalled.

That there is needed some better
system of conducting primary elections
than that which now obtains Is en-
phasized every time such elections are
held; and the fact recalls the solution
proposed some years ago by Judge John
Stewart of Chambersburg and eX-
planned by him at some length in The
Tribune last summer That plan was
to do away entirely with nominating
conventions by permitting the voters
of any party to vote directly at the
primary for the candidate of their
choice. the one receiving the highest
vote to be certified as the regular party
nominee. Two or three safeguards
would be necessary: first to make par
ticipation at one of the primaries con-
dition governing the right to vote at
the next election; secondly. registra-
ton plan to prevent the same voter
from voting at two primaries in one
campaign: and. thirdly, the enactment
of stringent laws against repeating at
primaries.
Under this system. fairly enforced.
the nominees of the two chief parties
would be the most popular men in
those parties and there would be al
most no chance for group of conspi-
rators in any ward to ''set up" things
to suit their personal ends or aims,
Had such system been in vogue four
weeks ago. who can doubt that Colonel
Ripple would have been so overwhelm-
ingly returned as the choice of the peo-
pie for mayor that no combination of
party wreckers could have dared to plot
together with the Democrats for his de-
feat?
