The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-08-30

Today's Republican county conven-
tion gives promise of being an inter-
esting event The four candidates for
coroner, Doctors Kolb, Roberts, Stein
and Dome, have each found among the
delegates selected Saturday, so many
friends on whom they think they can
safely count that they have been en-
couraged to make strenuous efforts to
capture the nomination, and as a con-
sequence 1t is not at all unlikely that
there will be some lively balloting for
this office.
The uncertainty regarding the posi-
tion the convention will take on the
judgeship question is another thing
which attaches more than ordinary
interest to the convention. The fact
that no Republican has cone cut to
make a fight for the nomination and
the sentiment that exists in favor of
setting a good example in the matter
of filling vacancies on the bench have
caused probably a majority Of the
party to feel that the nomination of
Judge Gunster, the Democratic nom
inee, would be the wise8: course to
pursue, and the chances are that this
is what will be done. There is, how
ever, some sentiment against such a
proceeding, and several more or less
prominent and capable Republican at
torneys are flirting with the nomina-
tion.
What may also develop some spright-
ly discussion is the question of adopt
ing the Crawford county system of
conducting primaries.
At the last county convention Fred
w. Fleitz the champion of this move
ment; Hon. John r. Farr, Hon. Alex
7. Connell, Edward A. Jones and Sc
lect Councilman c. f. Chitten Sc! We're
appointed a committee to make a re-
port on this matter at the next con-
vention. Through Chairman Fleitz,
the committee will this afternoon pre-
sent a report. favoring the new sys-
tenn and ask the convention to adopt 1t.
Hon. William Connell will have no
opposition for denomination for con-
gress, and it is likely that Ge D"ge Stew
enson will also be unopposed.

egates who will sit in todays conven-
ton:
