The Tribune desires to impress upon the
Republican voters of Dunmore the urgent
necessity of united action for party vic
tory at the critical election which occurs
on the 10Th inst. one year ago, by mass
ing of strength and the utmost harmony,
this former Democratic Gibraltar to the
surprise of the hitherto dominant borough
ring, was not only stormed but carried.
For a time the Democratic leaders were
speechless with surprise; but when they
came to realization of what had hap
pened, they Immediately set about the
work of preparation for this campaign,
and today they are not only organized, but
have at command a sum of money larger
than has yet been used by them. They
are fighting with desperation and are stop
ping at nothing; but they can be whipped
if Republicans will stand and work to-
gether. Notorious abuses in borough gov
ernment call for correction by the election
of the entire Republican ticket, and the
character of the men on that ticket is a
guarantee that If elected they will change
things promptly for the better. Let there
fore, every Republican do his duty and
volunteer for a battle which, if it end in
victory, as are convinced it WILL
will be one of the turning points in the
political history of Lackawanna county.
