A Prediction.

Under date Of Nov. 4 William F..
Curtis, Washington correspondent
whose trustworthiness is beyond dis
pute, sent to the Chicago Record this
dispatch:
Secretary Bliss returned from New
York last night, and was at the interior
department. this morning. lie says that
at the eleventh hour, when he became
convinced that Tammany would elect its
candidate for mayor he endeavored to
bring the Republicans and Citizens union
together. He proposed that both General
Tracy and Mr.. Low should withdraw
and that Mayor Strong should be nom
mated as the joint candidate. Although
Mayor Strong Is one of his most deter
mined enemies, Mr.. Plat agreed to the
arrangement, and General Tracy cor
daily assented, but Mr.. Low and his
Democratic hackers refused TO consider
the proposition. They were not willing to
have anything to do with the Republi-
can leaders, They entered into a COM
bination with the national Democracy,
with the Steckler Democracy, with the
Jacob Worth independent Republican or
ganization in Brooklyn and with various
other political machines. and even con-
tributed money to sustain them, but they
would not combine with the regular Re
publicans. Their policy i'm this respect
made II apparent that they were willing
to let Tammany have the government OF
New York city II they could break up the
Republican party.
This is one of several pieces OF evil

DR.. Swallow for Governor.

The announcement by DIR. Swallow,
ere the completion of the official count
of the recent state vote, of his willing
ness to accept an independent nomi-
nation for governor next year will
bring before Republicans the question
whether they want third quadren-
MUM of Democratic reform" at Har-
risburg. Comprising as they do
large majority of the voters of Penn
sylvania, it is clear that the Kepubli-
cans can order at the next election
whatever kind Of state administration
they desire, subject to this limitation
that the diversion of a considerable
percentage Of their vote to a third
candidate would result not in that
candidates election but IN the cleo
lion Of a Democrat.
In other words, while the election of
an Independent multi-partisan COVER
nor is practically out of the question,
the encouragement of the independent
idea means direct encoura cement for
the Democracy. As in New York city
last week. where the division of Re-
publican votes between two candidates
admittedly honest and able enabled
the worst candidate of all to achieve
an easy victory, SO a continuation by
Republicans of the Swallow movement
would in all probability mean next
year the election of a Democrat. That
Democrat might be individually better
than, his party, but the history of
the two Pattison administrations
teaches that whatever a Democratic
governors individual merit, the moral
temperature Of his administration can
not rise far above the average level
OF that Of the party organization by
which, he is controlled He may pose
as a, refoFmer before election but his
actions afterward reveal few If any
traces of one.
There are numbered within the ac-
tive and prominent membership Of the
Republican party in this commonwealth
several men any ono Of whom, If noml-
mated for goVernor next year on the
regular Republican ticket, could be
trusted implicitly by the voters of the
commonwealth. The nomination and
election of one of these men would
perform the double purpose Of insuring
an honest and efficient execution Of
the auties- OF the gubernatorial office
and preserving intact the Republican
party organization for undiminished
effectiveness in the presidential con-
test Of 1900, Instead of wasting ener.

highest aim was to unity the opposl-
ton to VAmmany. If that was It's aim
at any time 1t soon afterward ceased
to be. On the contrary the re-
turns show that the Citizens Union
vote deliberately sacrificed Wallace,
the Republican candidate for judge
of the state court of appeals, evident
ly with the idea that this would hasten
the disorganization of the Republican
party in the Empire state and facilit-
ate it's capture by Mugwumpery. Facts
are daily coming to light which prove
that Low and the mayoralty were but
an incident of a grand scheme 20
smash the Republican organization and
Clevelandize it's ruins. The real stake
was first the governorship at Albany
and, next. the presidency.
We predict that bad as Tom Platt
is by many regarded, his course in
this LowTracy episode, when fully es-
tabished before honest public opinion,
will show up white and clean along
side the bogus sanctlmoniousness Of
the Jekyll-Hyde conspirators against
Republican supremacy who ran the
Citizens Union.

INTERURBAN.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
"Interurban" had to come. 1t is a
newspaper word" now, but 1t will be
in the books and magazines soon, and
Mrs. Grundy, who shifts at the newspa-
pers, where most of the useful new words
are manufactured or first recorded, will
have to accept 1t. "Urban," suburban. -
"interurban," why not? The trolley
lines have forced 1t upon us. A steam
railroad is 'interurban" so much as a
matter of course that it was not neces-
sary to coin the word. But the electric
road was originally urban, then subur-
ban, and when in occasional instances
cities like Holyoke and Springfield were
connected "interurban" was the logical
and inevitable sequence. Let it be in
scribed speedily in the supplements of the
big dictionaries; there is no reason why
it should be kept on the waiting list, to
be approved or blackballed by the lex
biographical pursts, for it stands on its
own merits.

The notion that Spain would make our
recognition of the Cuban revolutionsts
as belligerents a casus belli is absurd.
She assumed no such attitude when we
made a similar concession to her other
American colonies. Neither did we dream
of revenging by a declaration of war
the conduct of Spain when she recognized
the Confederates as belligerents before
the first battle of Bull Run. The rec
ognition of revolutionists as belligerents
is an act commended i'm the name of
advanced civilization, and the avowed
aim of 1t is to mitigate, as far as pos
sible the barbarties which are apt to
accompany civil war. Our Withholding
from the Cubans a boon which we gave
generously and promptly to their fellow
colonists at a similar conjuncture can
be defended upon grounds neither of COM
mon sense nor of humanity,

The Official Figures.

BY the official count Beacon gets 1S5
plurality in Lackawanna, but runs L.
322 behind Brown in Luzerne. In
Lackawanna Swallow received 4,75S,
and in Luzerne 5,663 votes. Inasmuch
as the Prohibitionists cast last year
for president only sos votes in this
county and only $40 in Luzerne, 1t is
evident that of Swallows vote at least
1000 in Lackawanna and 1900 in Lu-
zerne came from voters who on ma
. tional issues are Republicans or Demo-
crats.--But in what proportion? To
this question we cannot, of course,
ypuchsafe a positive answer.
1t is an interesting fact, however,
that in Lackawanna the vote for
Brown for state treasurer was within
II OF the. vote for Bryan. Lackawan-
mas total vote this year for state treas
urer fell 2.7S9 short of the 3l,OS7 votes
east in this county for president last
year.. but the Democratic state candi-
i, date polled within II of Bryan's vote
"a year ago. The fact that Beacoms S
and Swallows vote combined, minus
the regular Prohibition vote, does not
come nearer than about $500 votes to
McKinley's would seem to indicate that
the 2,7S9 stay-at-home vote in this
county was largely if not entirely Re-
publican. The fact that Browns vote
comedies with Bryans could not other
wise be accounted for save on the sup
position that many Republicans voted
for Brown; yet with Swallow in the
field why should any dissatisfied Re-
publican voting at all have chosen to
vote for a Democrat running on the
Reading platform?
In our judgment it also seems rea-
sonable to suppose from the foregoing
facts that the great bulk of the Swal-
low vote in this county this year is
ordinarily Republican and may be
counted on to support decent and repu-
table Republican nominees for state or
national offices. It's failure to support
Beacon is not, to be sure, an impeach-
ment of his personal integrity, but it is
clearly the registration Of an admoni-
tory kick against unsavory methods
and practices, or what were deemed
to be such methods and practices, in
the state organization. Luzerne's large
Swallow and stay-at-home vote, ex-
ceeding Lackawanna's nearly three
times over shows that this disposition
to kick was not limited to Lackawan-
ma, but was if anything less manifest
here than in some of the counties ad-
joining.
The vultures of Republcanism who
follow in the wake of every political
shake-up to feed on the offal disclosed
by it will no doubt now be heard from
in discordant criticism and censure of
the local Republican management. In
fact, the morning journalistic eXem-
plar of this foul genus of political
bird Of prey has already set up it's GUS
tomary croakings, feigning the eagle
but revealing the buzzard This, how
ever, Is an expected experience. The
official figures conspicuously confirm
what the first returns strongly indi-
cated-that Lackawanna, in COMPARE
son with the other counties of Penn
sylvania which are at all similar in
political composition, emerges from the
general slump as satisfactorily as anv
and far better than most.
