CANDIDATE REILLY HERE.
His Visit Gives Occasion For an In
teresting Story of How he Was
Nominated at Harrisburg.

Unannounced, unaccompanied, and
as far as can be learned, having no
particular mission, Hon Charles ].
Reilly, Democratic candidate for Judge
of the superior court came to the third
largest city in the commonwealth Sat
urday and after shaking hands with
County Chairman +. u Fitzsmmons
and a few other Democrats who hap
pened TO be about welt away again,
to Wilkes-Barr it was said, To attend
a reception planned by the Luzerne
committee.
Mr. Reilly did not invite interviews
and when pressed for an expression
would only say that from what he had
observed personally and been told by
Mr.. Greasy, he was confident of DEM
ocratic success. He did not remember
a time he stated, when the prospects
Of Democratic success were 80 bright
There was a story afloat to the effect
that Mr.. Reillys visit was for the pur-
pose of adjusting some differences
between the state and county commit
tees This however could not be veri-
fed.
There is an interesting story connect
ed with Mr.. Reilly's nomination that
will bear repeating publicly now that
his visit here gives occasion.
He not only did not seek the place
! but had no thoughts of being a candi-
date until the very minute he was Sc
! lected. Hon. !. A. Hill. representative
| from Elk county. was looking for the
| empty honor and it was agreed he
! should have it. When the big fight on
the supreme court nomination was over
! the delegates began to leave the hall
| and during the tumult the nominating
of a superior court candidate was un-
! dertaken.
Chairman Reilly had made a big hit
winth everybody in the convention and
| especially with the newspapermen.
The nomination Of Mr.. Hill was duly
made and seconded and the chair asked
If there were any other nominations.
Some one in the newspaper crowd
! shouted. whats the matter with
Reilly?" "Yes, what's the matter with
/ Reilly" a chorus of newspapermen re-
sponded. REILLY, Reilly" spread all
over the hall and in a short space OF
time everybody was shouting Reilly.
The man who nominated Hill withdrew
his name and seconded the nomination
of Reilly. Then everybody including
the newspapernen joined in thunder

out of charity to an unsophsticated
official. who was inveigled into "col-
orable" transaction by his daring politi-
cal creditors, The Tribune refrained
from printing the whole story of the
theft of the Lackawanna Telephone or
dnance.
The effort to make The Tribune's
story appear ridiculous, for which the
unappreciative, unsophsticated official
is responsible, calls for the publication
of the story complete.
The ordinance was stolen, to begin
with, and it was stolen at the behest
of parties interested in the police re-
movals, their object being to prevent
complications dangerous to the behead-
ing process that might arise il the tele-
phone fight was injected into the meet
ing.
Clerk Jones says he went for the or
dinance after 1t had been sent down to
the city clerks office and when City
Clerk Lavelle advised him not to have
anything to do with this sort of thing,
he said he wouldn't, and went away
seemingly satisfied that it was best for
him to take the city clerks advice.
To a Tribune reporter, on Friday he
abouts OF the ordinance and denied
having taken it out Of the city clerks
office.
On Saturday he told a Tribune re-
porter that the ordinance was in his
office and admitted that he had taken
it out OF the city clerks office to have
it signed by Chairman Protein Grif-
fiths, having neglected to do this in the
first place. When he went to the city
| clerks office to get the ordinance, he
told City Clerk Lavelle nothing of the
! absence of the charman's signature.
| His purpose in taking the ordinance
! back was, according to his statement,
! then, to crafty the request of certain
! parties. Who these PARTIES were he
! said he didn't know. They called him
up by telephone, he said.
The Tribune regrets that Clerk Jones
has made this explanation necessary,
but it would be derelict in its duty to
self if it did not give the public the
exact facts.

wood which had formerly been the
ornament to their fence. on com
planning of such usage they received
the highly comforting answer that they
deserved to lose their gate II they
could not guard II any better.
At this a spirited debate arose in
which clubs and fists were the chief
arguments presented. O'Brien was
twice felled to the earth and as a re-
suit had the belligerent party before
Alderman Kasson Saturday on the
charges OF assault and battery and
threats to kill. John and Frank were
placed under $3.50 bail each on the
first charge and Julia and Tom will

ECHO OF CONVENTION.
Citizens Committee Which Had
Charge of the Letter Carriers
Convention to Be Sued.

The citizens committee, who had in
charge the arrangements for the letter
carriers convention. and the proprie-
tors of the Westminster hotel are at
odds, and the latter have served notice
on the former that they propose suing
them for small matter of 1850 on Nov.
s, If satisfactory arrangements are not
made by that time.
The whole trouble is over the New
York Letter Carriers band, which was
quartered at the Westminster during
the week of the convention. A con-
tract was entered into between the citi-
zens' committee and the proprietors OF
the hotel to furnish accommodations
for eighty-flve men for eight days, the
sum to be paid being 1850.
When the band and drum corps came
they stayed at the hotel for three days.
Suddenly the forty-five bandmen left
the house and went to another hotel,
where they stayed for the remainder
of the week. The committee paid their
bill at the latter place and then offered
to settle with the Westminster people
for the actual board received by the
men for the time they stayed there,
but the proprietors would accept no
such offer.
They claim that the bandmen left on
account of a rivalry which existed be-
tween them and the drum corps men,
that they left without warning, putting
them to a great loss.
They state that the offer made was
below the actual value of the services
rendered and couldn't be considered for
a moment. They are now determined
to hold the committee for the amount
stipulated in the contract, and Ward &,
Horn. their attorneys. have served
notice to that effetc.
The citizens committee, on the other
| hand say that the men complained
that the accommodations were not
what they expected, there being too
many in a room, etc, and that they
| can't be expected to pay the Westmin-
ster people. having already paid the
board once. They also say that the
sum offered by them was exactly what
was due and was estimated on the
rates furnished by the hotel men, and
that it was a perfectly fair and leglti-
| mate proposal.
| The question arises as to exactly who
/ can be sued, the committee as whole
or only those who signed the contract
namely, Edward Robathan and several
/ of the letter carriers who comprised g
committee for the purpose.
There is only about half the sun
! mentioned left in the committed:
treasury.
