THE CANDIDATES
In LUZERNE
Major McCauley and James s. Bea.
con Visit Wilkes. Barre..Opinions
on the Situation.

Wilkes-Barre, Oct. 6.-The candi-
dates on the Republican state ticket,
Major l.. G. McCauley for auditor gen.
eral and James S. Beacon for state
treasurer, arrived in this city yester-
day to meet the Republicans of this
portion of the county.
Major McCauley came on the I.ehigh
Valley railroad at 1.S0 direct from his
home at West Chester, and was re-
ceived at the station by a committee
Of prominent Republicans headed by
Chairman Holcomb of the county COM
mittee, Major J. Roberts, jr., r. p.
Robinson, Hon. Z. A. Coray and many
others, and was escorted to the Wyo-
ming Valley house. A large number of
citizens, as well as many of Major Nc
Cauley's old army comrades, soon as
sembled to greet the popular candidate
for auditor general and give him as
surances of their hearty support.
During the afternoon Major McCau-
ley and a portion of the reception COM
mittee took drive about the city
and spent, an hour at the Republican
league rooms. The party then pro-
ceeded to the station to meet the late
afternoon train on the Pennsylvania
railroad, which brought Mr.. Beacon,
the nominee for state treasurer. The
party returned to the Valley house,
where many Republicans continued to
drop in to meet the candidates.
Both candidates spoke freely of the
political prospects in various sections
| of the state, and are confident of a
| large majority. There is no detection
| among the Republicans anywhere in
the state against Major McCauley and
he is constantly receiving assurances
| of a large Democratic vote, principally
| from veteran soldiers who do not us
| ually vote for Republican candidates.
| In Allegheny county and few other
localities there is admittedly some or
ganized opposition to Mr.. Beacon This
hostility is not due to any doubt of
| Mr.. Beacom's integrity or ability, but
| grows out of the opposition to Senator
| Quay. who was known to strongly IA
vor his nomination. In Allegheny the
only county where opposition to Mr.
Beacon has assumed organized form
an Independent Republican candidate
has been placed in the field and will
| be voted for to some extent.
| That some Republicans throughout
the state will vote for DR.. Swallow
the Prohibition candidate, is also ap.
parent, but the number inclined in that
direction will doubtless diminish as
election day approaches.

WILLIAM HARRIS STORY.
Impression Is That the Man of Con-
fessiOns Is UnsOund.

Philadelphia, Oct. 6.-District Attor-
ney Graham and Director of Public
Safety Ritter were in conference today
over the confession made by "William
Harris" that he and two other men
were guilty Of numbering Major Will
liam c. Wilson, the aged librarian, on
the night of August 16. The impress
sion is that the prisoner is not of
sound mind, and although he is still in
custody, he will probably be released
in short time. 1t has been learned
that his right name is John Tittemary
and his parents say he is weak mind
ed.
On the afternoon and night of the
murder he was at his home, they say,
and did not leave the house. SO far as
known, the police are again absolutely
without clue to the murderer.
