And the night before election did the poll

on the strangely puzzlng circumstance
that entered I the fray.
How in all his past experience, he'd never
cause to wonder
On the way the people loved him as he
found they did today.
There are sCme people who criticise the
proposed plan of the Christian Endeavor
society in having young women act as
street car conductors for a day, on the
ground that it Should not have been JOne
in the name of a Christian organization,
and that for a merely charitable or phil
anthropic work, not so much objection
could be made. There is one satisfaction
TO be enjoyed in the matter and that is
whatever complaint may be entered
against the scheme it cannot be said in
this case that the idea of sending out
young girls to raise money in this way
originated with the women, but with the
staid, sober and thoughtful men leaders
of the Christian Endeavor society. If the
women had started such an enterprise
without masculine sanction what a pow

history of the party, and won for Il the
gratitude OF the country.
There Is every reason to believe that
the Republican party will be called upon
to perform similar duty in 1898, when
new house of representatives and thirty
new senator's are to be elected and again
in 1900, when a president of the United
States, another house of representatives
and thirty more senators are to be cho-
sen. The paramount issues OF this cam
paign, as far as the Republicans are
concerned, is whether they will stand by
Mckinley and the Republican admins
tration, or will they by indifference or
open revolt. encourage the forces of an
archy and disorder.
Thus far Pennsylvania has never fall
tered in her splendidly broad American
ISM and believing as l do that she is
still actuated by the same unselfsh pa
triotism which in times past won for her
the gratitude of the whole nation she
will on Tuesday next roll up such an
enormous majority for the Republican
candidates that 1t must be construed not
only as a magnificent party triumph but
as an emphatic and significant declara-
tlon to the world that Organism. free sill
yer and population have no substantial
place anywhere within her peaceful bor-
ders.

ings the same spirit of enthusiasm and
party fealty was witnessed. The au-
diences were composed of farmers,
merchants and laborers, q thoughtful
voting element. BY their applause and
personal protestations they certainly
pledged those two localities for the Re-
publican ticket.
DR.. NJ. C. Mackey presided at the
Waverly meeting where the speakers
were Hon. Fillmore Maust, of Cumber-
land, and Hon. John II. Farr.
DIR. n. G. Makey presided at the
the old Baptist church. Mr.. Maust,
Mr.. Farr and John f. Scragg were the
speakers. At both Waverly and Dali
ton Mr.. Maust in easy, graceful and
logical actresses reviewed the local
situation in the light that It and the
local campaigns in other sections have
direct bearing on national issues.
The result Of the county election will
very nearly show the confidence of the
people i'm Republicanism or it will show
their disapproval. He, personally, be-
lieved LaCkawanna county would give
a testimonial by vote to the candidates
who represent the party of protection,
patriotism and good government.

MIR. sCHAFFER's ADDRESS.

Mr. Schaffer is a pleasant speaker,
easy of address and possessed of a fund
of stories. In making his address he
laid great stress upon the effect local
issues have upon national affairs.
Among other statistics quoted by him,
he said that $2,400,O00 had been lost in
wages to the American workman dur
ing each year that the Wilson bill was
in force. After paying a tribute of es-
teen and regard to John r.. Jones and
other members of the ticket whom he
knew, he concluded with the statement
that Republican success in each county
meant a congressman next year, and
a state success meant a national sue
cess in 1900, and the campaign of 1900
would be for the reelection of Major
Mckinley.
Frequent outbursts of applause greet
ed Mr.. Schaffer and he concluded in
the midst of din of cheers and hand
clapping. His speech was followed by
two selections by the Anthracite Glee
club.
John r. Jones was announced as the
next speaker and his arising was the
signal for pandemonium of greeting.
Mr.. Jones touched upon national issues
as they were affected by local issues.
His remark that coming to Hyde Park
seemed like coming home among
friends, caught the spirit of the audi
ence and cries Of You bet" and
That's right" We're glad!" etc,
were heard. He spoke of fellow candi-
dates and applause followed the men
tion Of each name. He concluded with
an eloquent appeal for the voters to
rally to the support of the whole ticket.
w. Gaylord Thomas was the next
speaker He confined his remarks to
review of the local situation and said
that every man ought to be out to do
his duty on Tuesday next. He spoke
of the candidates, Of Mr.. Pryor as a
trustworthy official, of Mr. Langstaff
as a capable school director and a val
liable member of the poor board,
Charles Heuster and John Copeland as
men tried and true, John r. Jones as
a faithful, painstaking lawyer, w. X.
Beck, active and trustworthy, and last,
but not least, Hyde Parks Tommy
Daniels.
The meeting was closed with a rous-
ing cheer for the ticket.

ELEMENTS OF GOODNESS.

MOOSIC MEETING.

If it is true that Mooslc has been
considered as neutral ground by the
leaders of the two big parties, then
Saturday nights Republican meeting
in the Auditorium at that place ought

persons jammed themselves into the
hall and gave vocferous greeting TO

At Babylon the audience included n
large number of Italians. One of that
nationality, Dominick Louisiana, was
the chairman and made most accent
able one. Mr.. Fleitz spoke particular
ly of the local issues, and Mr. SNYDER
confined himself to a logical comment
on the paramount principles of the two
big parties. The speakers were ac
corded the most exactlng attention.
Mr.. Snyder's remarks at Babylon
and Moosic were in part as follows:
Eternal vigilance is the price not only
or liberty, but of everything else which
is dear to the American heart; and to go
to the polls and vote in an off year or
regular year at the national or local
election, is at once the grandest priyi-
lege and the first duty of every patriotic
citizen. The real issues in this campaign
arises not so much from any knowledge
of the individual characters Of the candi-
dates as from the controlling effect
which the result will have upon the
whole country, The great body polite.

EVERY BALLOT COUNTS.
Every ballot cast this fall is sure to
have its effect, either one way or the
other in the far greater contest of 1900
The campaign last year was one of the
most desperate and exciting in the his
tory of American politics. The Chicago
convention has raised a question, not of
men and policies, but issues which in

the stability and security of society and
the maintenance of the republic itself
