speak, as he was not a delegate. It
was asserted that Mr.. Farr had been
substituted from one of the districts
of the Fifth ward. The secretary had
no record of such a substitution and
Mr. Farrs claim was ignored.
The motion to dispense with reading
the rules of Mr.. Reynolds was adopted
and the father of them then moved
their adoption. The chair ruled that il
was the wrong time to introduce such
measure and that 1t could not be con-
sidered then.
Again Mr.. Farr tried to get the privi-
lege of the floor and again it was de-
MED him. his name not appearing on
the roll. At this point Fred. w. Fleitz
succeeded in pouring oil on waters that
were beginning to be troubled. He said
he was sincerely in favor of the Craw-
ford county plan Of nominating candi-
dates, for he was convinced 1t was the
only means by which the will of people
can be truly registered in the choice
of candidates. He realized that 1t was
out of order then to consider the reso-
luton presented and therefore moved
that a committee of five be appointed
by the chairman to draft a set of rules
in accordance with the Crawford coun-
| ty system to govern the Republican
party in this county. This committee
is to report at the next convention. The
| delegates recognized this as a sensible
! way to act upon a matter Of such i'm

RECESS FOR DINNER.

While the convention was waiting for
the committees to report the orchestra
kept the delegates and spectators in
good humor with number of lively
selections. At 1925 the committee on
credentials was not prepared to pre-
sent its report and Byron f. Akerly
moved that the convention adjourn un-
til o'clock, to enable the delegates to
get dinner The motion was unani-
mously adopted.
The delegates were slow in assemb-
ling after the noon recess. At o'clock
less than half of them were in their
seats. Fifteen minutes later Bauer and
his men took their positions on the east
side of the court room and the dele
gates and spectators were soon keep
ing time with their feet to the music
of a merry medley of popular ditties.
When Chairman Thomas called the
convention to order at 230 the court
room was densely crowded and the cor
ridors ditto. Mr.. Thomas at once called
| for the report of the committee on Gre
dentials and it was read by f. w. Mar

1t was unanimously adopted. The COM

floor and nominated George Okell, of
the Seventeenth ward. HE has always
been true earnest Republican" said
Captain Moir mo matter what revers-
es or disappointments he has received.
He is a man peculiarly fitted to perform
the delicate and eXacting duties of a
sheriff and if this convention nominates
him it will make no mistake"
Captain Moir concluded by saying
that no matter what might be the re-
suit of the convention, Mr.. Okell
and his friends would be found
working for the success of the
candidates chosen by :he convention.
They were not soreheads or kickers hut
felt that Mr.. Okell was the strongest
aspirant for the office and inasmuch as
he had been denied the nomination six
and three years ago it was time that
his services for the party and signal
fitness for the office should be recog-
nized. On motion the nominations were
closed and the delegates were polled
with the following result:

SOME NEW RULES.
John II. Reynolds, of che West Side,
at this point claimed the attention of
the convention and introduced a set of
rules providing for hereafter conduct
ing Republican primary elections ac-
cordng to the Crawford county plan
and asked that they be read and
adopted.
While the rules were being read,
B. II. Jayne moved that the reading
be dispensed with, as it would consume
too much time. This drew forth a
strong protest from Mr.. Reynolds, and
Hon. John r. Farr was also about to
make some remarks in opposition to
Mr. Jayne's motion when the chairman
ruled that Mr.. Farr had no right to

prudent and conservative expenditure of
monies, and a careful watch over the
property of the county.
We point with pride to the record of
the retiring Republican officials of Lack
awanna county. We ask the people to
continue their confidence in Republican
management of county affairs, secure in

No political convention held in Lack
awanna county was attended by
a larger number of delegates or
attracted a greater crowd of spec
tators than yesterdays gathering
in the court house of the representa-
tives of the Republicans of Lackawan-
ma. The forecast of the probable re-
suit of the conventions work printed
in Mondays Tribune proved to be cor
rect. A strong, well-balanced ticket
was nominated, and the names in
scribed in it are:

The convention was harmonious and
business-like throughout. Mr.. Finn,
who had made an active canvass for
the nomination for sheriff, did not al
low his name to go before the con-
vention, and the delegates elected in
his interests were divided among the
other candidates, Frank NJ. Spencer
getting the greater part of them. One
new and pleasant innovation at the
convention was the presence of Bauers'
orchestra, which enlivened the dull
moments of the convention with lively
selections. This innovation was due
to the thoughtfulness of District Attor-
ney John r. Jones.
The convention was called to order
about 1890 a, m, and did not adjourn
sine die until $50 D. m.

CONNELL FOR GOVERNOR.

The approaching gubernatorial cam
paign is of interest to the people of
Scranton and Lackawanna county, the
fourth city in the state, and one of the
most important counties in the center of
Northeastern Pennsylvania. We desire to
present 20 our party friends throughout
the cyD.nonwealth the name of a man
eminCntly fitted to fill the Office of COVER
nor to the credit of the party ami the
satisfaction of the people in the person
of Hon. William COnnell. And We cor
daily endorse the efforts of the people
to present his name for that high Office.
His fearless advocacy of the cause of
protection, of sound money and of the
rights of the people, his record at Wash
ington, and his services to the party
unite in justifying his selection as the
standard bearer of the party of 1888,
ana we pledge our efforts to use all
honorable means to secure his nominal
tion at Harrisburg
We further desire to express our sin
cere sympathy for the oppressed mnerS.

CANDIDATES PRESENT.

While the preliminary work of the
convention was in progress most of the
candidates were moving in and out OF
the court room. There was no demon
stration on the part of the delegates
for any of them. Frank Spencer and
George Okell were the most conspicuous
of the candidates. Clarence E. Pryor
and Wade Finn did not put in an ap-
pearance.
When the roll was completed 1t was
shown that there We're contests from
the following districts to be disposed of
by the convention: Carbondale town
ship, Northeast district, John Davis
contested by Jacob Henry; Carbondale
city. Fifth ward, Second district, George
Edwards, contested by Patrick Flan-
merry; Dickson City. Second ward, Geo.
Eley, contested by John Thomas Dick.

field; Winton, Third ward, Philip
Scanlon, contested by j. r. Evans.
An hour was spent in receiving the
credentials and then Chairman Thomas
appointed the following committees:
Credentials-Frank Martin. Scranton;
w. S. Millar, Scranton; John F. Jones,

Charles Kloss, Scranton.
Resolutions-Fred W. Fleitz, Scranton;

tives in congress, in senate and house
for their recognition of the needs of the
people and their devotion to the pledges
of the party in the last national cam
paign.
We especially endorse the splendid rec
ord of our own representative from Lack
awanna, the Hon. William Connell. Ills
faithful, earnest work for a restoration
of a protective tariff for our industries
and our labor; his firm stand for an
honest financial system, his evident de-
termination to represent all our people
and all classes of our people at Washing
ton entitle him to receive the thauis Of
this community regardless of party ties.
The Dingley bill and the preservation
of our national credit, the first fruits of
Republican administration, have caused
the country to advance to the state of
prosperity promised by our party.
In every department of business, and
along all the avenues of trade things
are looking brighter and better. We
confidently appeal to the people of this
county TO say whether the promises of
our party have not been kept We reaf-
firm the declaration of our national plat
form of 1896 and our state platform OF 1897.
