The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-19

Carbondalc fairly outdid itself last
night in its enthusiastic greeting 10
the Republican county candidates ana
the speakers who accompanied them
to plead the cause Of Republicanism.
The party arrived from the county
seat at Z o'clock. They were met by
the Mozart band and the City Repub-
lican club. Carriages were furnished
for the visitors and reception COM
mittee, while nearly Il thousand
formed in line and paraded the prin-
cipal streets.
1t was certainly Republican night.
Even the air seemed to be laden with
invigorating Republicansm. 1t put
| life into the spectators all along the
line. They cheered and hurrahcd.
turned on the lime light and sent"up
the red fire in manner that left no
doubt as to how they will vote on the
9th of November.
| When the procession reached the
| Grand Opera House there were three
times as many in the throng as could
gain entrance and the seats and
standing room were occupied III next
ITO no time. Occasionally IL Democrat
who found the arraignnient Of his po-
itical idols too hot. would leave the
audience and make room for an eager
! man on the outside, hungry for the
truth about the great problems which
had been perpleXing his mind.
KIMBALL CHAIRMAN.
G. S. kimball acted as chairman,
and after the Il. j. Reynolds Glee
club had rendered couple of selcc-
tions, he introduced, in his usual hap
by style, Congressman Brumm, OF
Pottsville.
The honorable gentleman waded
right into his subject and illuminated
it with all the fire of his ardent ma
ture. He did not 1nince matters. He
contradicted Bryan's eXtravagant and
impossible promises about a stable
government for the Philippines-which
he proposes to establish in a minute
with McKinley's calm and deliberate
execution of affairs-wiLh McKinley's
promise to establish a stable govern
ment as soon as he can.
The congressman declared he is an
imperialist- an imperialist to the
backbone but the kind Of imperialism
he believes in is the Imperialism OF
the American home, where every
mother is an empress and every father
an emperor.
The speaker then elaborated upon
the immense moral influence of this
republic. Like the aurora borealis
from the north it shone down on the
Brazilians Of the south and they
thirsted for n republic until they
forced the last monarch from Ameri-
can soil.
ABOUT THE TRUSTS.
In dealing with the trusts Mr..
Brumm said that the people had seen
fit to trust the Democrats with four
years of government, but he didn't
think they would do it again. In clos
ing he cited the fact that Democrats
throughout the state have never
shown any generosity in allowing Re-
publican representation ON the bench
when they could prevent it. what
is sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander, he said and we should discard
all maudln sentimentality and elect
a Republican judge in this county"
in which opinion the audience con-
Cured, as it showed by it's applause.
a. j. Colborn, Jr., was next intro
duced by Chairman Kimball and for
forty-five minutes he had the big au-
dience bursting into applause at his
every period. 1t was one Of Mr.. Col
born's most eloquent efforts on the
stump in this county and those who
had the pleasure of hearing it little
wondered that his services are in such
demand by the national committee.
