CHARLES A. WlGGINS.

a splendid type of the aggressive
young Republican is Charles 4. Wig
gins, the Republican candidate for
jury commissioner. He belongs to that
class of energetic young men who fight
for party success in and out of season
and who never sulk when there is work
to be don't.
During his twelve years residence in
this city h has worked in all cam
paigns pcrSistently and energetically.
He is a native of Ashley, l.uzerne
county, where he was educated in the
public schools. Since his residence
hsrc he has followed the trade Of a
barber and is well and favorably
known throughout the county. He Is
a genial, enterprising and intelligent
young man and is well qualified to
make an excellent jury commissioner,
His services in the past and his ami
ability and integrity win commend him
to the members of his party. He is
making a vigorous campaign and is
being ably assisted by his many
friends.

JOHN COPELAND.

When political parties which are only
organizations of the sovereign people,
present to the public candidates for
approval for any particular office of
trust, it is incumbent upon them to
state clearly and plainly the reasons
which aCtuate them in their choice.
This is the peoples right and expert
ence has taught and political parties
recognize that in q wise selection Of
candidates lies the principal element of
success at the polls.
The candidacy of John Copeland, of
Carbondale, for the Office of prothon-
Otary was the result of the wisdom of
the Republican party as expressed at
the county convention and therein the
party made no mistake. Mr. Copeland
belongs to that sturdy class Of citizens
who nowadays are called self-made
men, that is men, who, with but few
early advantages, by untiring energy
and steadfast integrity have acquired
well deserved prominence in life. He
comes of that sturdy Scotch ancestry
which has everywhere shown itself in
the progressive development of our
country. He was born in Scotland.
His father, James Copeland, came to
Carbondale before the sixties and i'm
mediately found employment with the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company,
in which he remained until his Volun-
tary retirement some years ago.
Up to the age of 13 John Copeland
attended the public schools of Carbon
dale. He was the eldest of a large
family and at that age left school and
became trainman or runner" on the
gravity road. He continued in that
position for number Of years, aiding
in the support of the family and at
the same time diligently fitting himself
for a better position, an opportunity
| for which he found in the night schools
Such was the early life Of John Cope
| land. Later he became a brakeman,
| then a conductor on the locomotive
| road between Scranton and Carbon
| dale. In 1873 he was appointed Gen
| eral Yardmast=r of the Carbondale
yard, having full charge of all trains,
| both Erie and Delaware and Hudson,
| in which position he remains to this
| day.
| Mr. Copeland's elevation from run
| ner" on the gravity to brakeman, then
| conductor and finally to the RESPONSE
| BILE position of General Yardmaster
was solely the result Of merit. In all
his varied experience in life he has
| never failed to do his duty to his en-
| ployers, and throughout his whole life
! his relations with his fellow railroad
men have always been the most cor
| dial
These are some of the reasons which
| actuated the Republican county con-
| ventiOn in their choice Of John Cope
, land as candidate for prothonotary. He
| is competent; his success in other
| lines proves It. He is deserving: his
services to the party show it, He is
| popular; the voice of every brother
| railroad man will attest it,
In politics Mr.. Copeland has always
! been a Republican, and has actively
interested himself in the success Of the
| principles and candidates of his party
He represented, years ago, the First
ward of Carbondale in the city coun.
ellis and he has since then served fol
six years as member of the board OF
health, during which time he wa,
president of the body for two years.

w. S. LANGSTAFF.

Seldom does a candidate come be-
fore the people with more reason to
ask for their suffrage than does w. S.
Langstaff, the Republican candidate
for county treasurer. He is a self
made man and has been tried and not
found lacking in positions of peculiar
public trust.
When a lad, Mr. Langstaff earned
his first wages as a slate picker i'm the
Hampton breaker. Since that time he
has never moved backward but has
gradually worked his way into a large
acquaintance and up the ladder to a
position of high standing in the COM
munity in which he lives For many
years he has been a faithful public
servant on the Scranton board of con-
troll and as a director of the Scranton
poor district, AS a school controller
and a poor director he has won the
commendation Of all who know him.
To no one man does the city of Scran-
ton owe more for its unexcelled edu-
catiOnal system and splendidly man
aged poor and insane asylum.
Such tried and experienced gentle
man is needed for a position of such
peculiar trust as county treasurer
w. 5, Langstaff ought to fill the bill.

CLARENCE E. PRYOR.

Clarence Il. Pryor, the Republican
candidate for sheriff was born in Lu-
zerne county, April 1, 1S45. He began
life by running mine engine, and
from his wages saved enough money
to pay for a course at Lowell's Com
mercial College in Binghamton, n. Y.
He was graduated from that institu-
tion in 1864 and came to Scranton,
where he has resided for the last 33
years.
Mr.. Pryor is the present prothono-
tary, and his record in that office is one
To be proud of. a careful courteous,
panstaking official he has given the
office his personal attention, and by his
Kindness and readiness to do favors for
all has won warm spot in the hearts
of all who have had dealings with him.
Never rising above his position and
always remembering that the people
elected him, he is the same after elec-
ton as before. A good fellow by ma
ture, 1t is no effort for him to be agree
able. He stands before the people as
an upright servant, against whom even
his political opponents can say nothing
His popularity and acknowledged fit
ness won for him his party's nomina-
ton for the important office of sheriff
and it should be the duty of every good
Republican to see that he is elected by
a rousing majority.

ton, June. 1865. He attended the pub
lie schools of Scranton but like other
poor boys, was obliged to leave school
and began the battle of life by working
at the Diamond mines as a gate tender
at 40 cents per day.
After upwards of two years at said
occupation he was rendered n position
as office boy in the clerk of the courts
office, where, by his careful attention
to the details of the office, by his earn
est endeavor to serve the public, and
by his never failing readiness to aid all
who come to him for information or
assistance in the line of his duty has
finally become chief assistant. Every
person who knows him comedies that
his qualifications and personal popu-
larity richly entitle him to be elected
to the office he seeks.

WILLIAM K. BECK.

The Republicans are fortunate in
having such an excellent candidate as
William *. Beck for register of wills.
He has for many years been looked
upon as one of the most prominent
Republicans of the county, and on
three occasions was called upon to be
the standard bearer of his party for
legislative honors.
Mr. Beck was born in Lockport,
Northampton county and received his
early education in Easton and Wy

he was in business at Lockport previ-
