Mex inIey at Cincinnati.

There were excellent taste and whole
some doctrine in President McKinley's
address before the Commercial club of
Cincinnati on Saturday night 1t was
not partisan occasion. The greeting
to him came not from Republicans
alone, although doubtless they pre-
dominated; and therefore his reply is
properly lofty and general. But we
may well believe that in the remark:
"rhere is no greater enemy to free
government than careless and indiffer-
ent citizenship" he had especial refer
ence to the civic duties which await
discharge tomorrow-duties much too
often shirked in the so-called off years.
Adverting to the more immediate
concerns Of statecraft he remarked:
mot only are we interested in the
fundamental elements which consti-
tute the national strength, but we
have a deep interest in the material
development Of the country. No sub
ject can better eagase our attention

An Unprecedented Campaign.

With the rousing meeting in Hyde
Park Saturday evening and the stimuli
taneous gatherings in other parts OF
the county the Republican canvass
for 1897 was brought to a close. To-
day will witness the preliminary prep
arations for getting out the vote and
tomorrow the grand jury of the peo-
pie will pronounce their verdict at the
polls.
In one respect it has been an un-
precedented campaign. We do not re-
call time when in an "off year" there
mas been such q noteworthy interest
among the people in the national is
sues involved. Ordinarily that part of
local platform which, in a campaign
chiefly for local offices, treats of ma
tional principles is perfunctorily adopt
ed and Immediately forgotten. Act
ing On this knowledge the Democratic
managers in their county convention
last August permitted Il resolution to
pass eXtraVagantly eulogiHng William
j. Bryan and endorsing fully and
without reserve" the parniciOus Chica-
so platform. They doubtless thought
that it, too, would pass from the pub
lie mind Us soon as spread on the re-
cords; and that while thus making
their organization regular it would in
no wise omharrass them in their subse-
quent efforts to line up the sound
money Democracy for the local Demo-
cratic nominees.
But it has been cOnspiCuOusly evident
for the past three weeks that the eyes
of the voters Of Lackawanna have been
fixed on that wholesale Endorsement
of Organism, and that without any
new symptoms of favor. Try as the
Iemocratic organs and hired advocates
could, they have not been able to elimi-
nate this supreme issue of Organism
vs.. protection, sound money and ma
tional credit from the minds and hopes
of the people. The 1000 majority
which measured the popular disapprov-
al in this county last year of the doc
trincs which the Democrats have this
year So defantly Reimbursed stands as
a sign post to what should and doubt
less will be tomOrrow's verdict on the
same subject. The attempt to build
up in this county an ofice-holding
dynasty of Bryanites ready to throw

Ventions in favor Of the reputation of
debts, the spoliation of thrift, the rob-
berry of labor and the encouragement

people.

than the promotion of trade and COM
merce at home and abroad Domestic
conditions are sure to be improved by
largely exchanging with the nations
of the world. We are already reach
ing out with good results. Our sur
plus products of agriculture and
manufacture are finding a foreign

gree which would not have been be-
iieved possible a quarter of a century
ago. We have made wonderful prog

wants of mankind are to be supplied.
Commerce is a teache- and paciil-

we are sure to have friendly political
relations with them. Abating none of
our interest in the home market, let us
move steadily out to new fields and in
crease the demand for our products in
foreign markets. 1t should be our set
tied purpose to open trade wherever
we can, making our ships and our
commerce messengers of peace and
amity."
This is the advice of liberal states
manship, the counsel of indisputable
wisdom-very different from the Ian
guage to be expected of the Mckinley
whom the Democrats used to describe;
man insular and narrow, jealous of
reciprocity and welded to the Chinese
wall notion of national commerce and
development. OF course no one who
knew the real Mckinley ever saw any
resemblance between him and the
PAINTED efiigy that used to do scare
crow duty in free trade campaigns;
but it is worth while now to call the
public's attention to the difference.

patriotic president whose splendid ad-
ministration calls for Republican in
dorsement tomorrow.

that it was so regarded by relatives
and friends Of Mr.. George.
But the incident apparently makes
little. If any difference i'm the situation.
The four competitors and their respect
i've followings go on toward the finish
with something of the recklessness Of
race horses on the track, and no mat
ter who shall win. there will be scars
and heart burnings sufficient to COM
plicate New York politics for years to
come. A victory for Tammany, now
appearing not improbable. would per-
maps be the best outcome next to a
victory for the regular Republican
nominee, General Tracy, and for this
reason: 1t would teach Republicans
the futillty of fighting each other and
supply an incentive to future Republic
can union. A victory for Seth Low,
since it would put a premium on politi-
cal treachery, egotism of the rule or
ruin type and the insufferable hypocrisy
and cant of the Mugwump clique that
surrounds him, would clearly be a ma
tional misfortune; while the election of
that young and untried man, the Junior
George would be far too hazardous an
experiment for any important com
munity to make, last of all COM
munity so vast and consequential as
Greater New York.
No wonder the eyes Of the nation are
fastened on the New York fight and
await with impatience the election re-
turns.

THE NEXT DISTRICT ATTORNEY

John II. Jones possesses every legal at
tainment essential to the Office of district
attorney. He has proved it in the wears
OF his present term in nmistakable
terms, and the people of Lackawanna
county are far the better off for having
had him in the district attorneys Office,
lie has given diligence to its conduct and
has advanced the trial of the criminal
cases OF the county to such a point that
Justice is no longer tagging for those who
are accused of offenses against the law
and who are assured of that speedy trial
which the constitution and the laws PROM
lse them. The fact that the records of
his office are so complete and satisfactory
that the work Is done properly and in the
very highest legal manner j. the very
best OF evidence that Mr.. Jones thorough
ly understands his duties and is equipped

Inc Republican party of this county has

The Situation in New York.

The editorial reproduced on this page

those at distance an opportunity of
sampling the bitterness which has been
engendered by the mayoralty contest

ence is to the address in which Mr..
Low, within six hours after Mr..
Georges death, asserted his increased
resolve to carry forward the work that
George had begun, as If it were a
charge from his dying lips" While
the self-consecrated Mr. Low may have

Republicans have the victory won.
Let them stand firm and hold it.

and last night for Schadt has not

hired allies who pretend to be Repub-
licans expect to do today will not avail
if the Republicans stand by their colors

c. l.. Magees Pittsburg Times that
apply directly to the political situation
in LackaWanna. Read and ponder
them:
Republicans in every state in which
elections are to be held Tuesday want
to see to it that they do their full duty
to their party and their state and
country upon that day. Likewise they
want to consult their own best inter-
ests as well as those of the community
at large. There is only one way in
which they can secure these results,
and that is by going to the polls and
voting the Republican ticket and urg-
ing their friends and neighbors to imi-
tate their good example. 1t will not be
a valid excuse for refraining from vOt-
ing that this is an off year, or that
business or work is so pressing that
the time cannot be spared to go to the
polls. In many important respects this
cannot be considered an off year po-
litically. The verdict given by the
people of the nation last year is bring
ing rich results by improving business
and increasing work, but that verdict
needs to be reiterated and indorsed this
fall to insure even better things.
Should great Republican reverses oc-
cur on Tuesday because the members
of the party are too busy to attend
to their duty at the polls great en-
couragement will be given to the forces
OF disaster and ruin in their struggle
Tor the control Of the congress next
year. and of the nation three years
hence, Should Tuesdays verdict be
similar to that of a year ago those
forces will be further disorganized and
discouraged.
Those who desire to secure n sure
guarantee of the continued improve
ment Of business and the increase of
work will take care that no break oc-
ours in the lines which last fall res
cued the nation from the slough of
business despond into which it had
fallen, and from the much greater
evils which We're threatened by the
success of the Chicago ticket. The
head of that ticket is now again rais-
Ing MS voice IN behalf of the danger
Gus heresies of the Chicago platform,
in the hope that Tuesdays verdict will
hold out hope of resurrection of a
dead cause. The Republicans of Ohio
and Of Pennsylvania especially, as well
as those of every other state, ought to
see that the budding hopes of William
j. Bryan and his followers receive
such a frost on Tuesday as will re-
move all danger from that source next
year and two years later.
Republicans can accomplish this
most desirable result if they will de-
eide to be Republicans not only on S64
days in the year, but also on that most
important of all days for a voter, elee
tion day-a decision which can only he
made of value by the casting of their
votes for the full ticket of the party"
