The Local Democracy.

~ CONSIDERABLE interest was
manifested in yesterdays
~ convention by Democratic
politicians of the kind who
are looking for Office personally or in
the behalf of friends. With them it
was largely a matter of business. They
would go to a party convention and
show actively whether they had any
particular interest in the national is
sues of the campaign or not; they
would do this to keep their records
clear and to prevent themselves from
dropping out of the party's recollec-
ton. This is true of the professional
politician element of all the parties,
and, therefore, in order to get at the
genuine sentiment of the representa-
tive people we must go beyond the
politician element.
Where in yesterdays gathering or
in any of the incidents of its some
what restless deliberations is there
proof that the average people are rail-
lying earnestly around Organism or
that they are even mildly stirred by
the new issues which the gentleman
from Nebraska and his local deputies
are trying to paramount this fall? If
the vote of four years ago is to be
overcome, it will require what the
politicians call ground swell' to do
it; and where were the premonitions
yesterday of a ground swell in Lacka-
wanna county? The ticket was wholly
a creation of the party managers;
BOSSES" they would be called in the
Republican party. A number of excel
lent gentlemen are included upon it,,
but 1t was in no sense a creation of
assertive public sentiment. The powers
that be put the names on or could
have pulled them off and put others
on with equal facility. To all appear
ances the people in general did not
take even a languid interest.-in the
matter. Their Indifference is signifi-
cant.
1t may be that as the campaign pro-
crosses this lack of interest will dis
appear. But If the Republicans of our
county shall keep toward the enemy a
united front the ticket named yester-
day will be defeated overwhelmingly,
in spite of anything that its supporters
may do.

~ T r. BRYAN's plan for
~ Nj the solution Of the
4 Il philippines problem
is specific; Mr.. Nc =.
Kinley's general and unfortunately
vague. The one tells what he pro-
poses to do, the other states a theory"
Thus saith the Chicago Record.
Mr.. Mckinley is specific enough on
the main point. There must" he
says. "be no scuttle policy" The de-
tails of government are for congress
to work out when pacification permits.
If Mr.. Mckinley were an emperor
knowing 1t all or a dictator, like Mr..
Bryan toward the Kansas City con-
vention, he could doubtless proclaim
in advance the exact steps required
to be taken in the Philippines
throughout the next fifty years and
try to bend congress and country to
his will. That, however, would be
Imperialism and he is not an imperi-
alist.
Mr.. Bryan's cocksureness comes
from inexperence. 1t is like the MILL
tary ability of the curbstone critic
who knows offhand just where all the
fighting generals are making grea.
mistakes. Anybody can run war, a
newspaper or a government in his
mind. II It wasn't for the expense
we should almost like to see Brother
Bryan try his prentice hand at solv-
Ing the Philippine puzzle just to teach
him and his adorers not to be so all
fired cocksure.

Cheerful news comes from the
Twenty-seventh Senatorial district,
where the fusionists under the lead of
ex-Congressman Wolverton are put
ting up a desperate fight to defeat
Benjamin K. Focht, the regular Re
publican nominee for state senator.
The news is to the effect that Mr..
Focht is more than holding his own
and that the prospect of his election
by majority in excess of the 4,023
scored by Senator Hummel in 1896 is
Frightening daily. We consider this
news reliable,

NOTES ON POLITICS.

The Elkhart Truth, owned by former Con.
gresham G. G.. Conn., has repudiated the Kan.
sas City platform. Mr. Conn says in a signed
editorial that he is unalterably opposed TO a
financial policy that has already cost this coun-
try nearly seven years OF industrial stagnation.
He believes it to he the duty Of every one in.
tcrested in the welfare of the masses to lend
all the influence he can command to its defeat
and annihiation. 1t is not a question, saws Mr.
Conn, of Democracy or party salvation. The
evil is too deep rooted for that. at is a cues.
tion of protecting wage.carners from a loss OF
employment, OF preventing a monetary crisis
that would swallow up and destroy half the
business interests Of the country, Of perpctuating
and extending our present era of prosperity"
Mr.. Conn cites as evidence of the prosperous con-
ditions that in 1896 he employed Isl men with
monthly pay roll of $3.50. lie now employs

money question is the issue.
In 1894, when the Wilson low.tarif law was in
operation, the number Of employees in 200 certain
establishments was at its owest-90, 4S3. In 1897,
after President Mckinley had been inaugurated,
the protective tariff had been restored. and it
was certain that for four years at least there
could be no debasement OF the currency, the
number of employees in those same 200 establish.

The failure Of the house to consider the Pacific
cable bin passed by the senate was another act

having cable tolls for messages To and from the
Philippines at the rate of $4,000 year. The

from China promise to be as much more. making
total of over s5O0O00 year. After careful
investigation and with a good deal Of experience
in such matters, tho United States signal oihce
reported that a cable could be laid from SAN

was confirmed by an estimate OF tac k1tsh

LAST DEMOCRATIC RALLY
RED FIRE AND ORATORY AT THE
ORPHEUM.
The Theater Packed to It's Utmost
apacity-Speeches by David and
Most of the other Candidates.

The Orpheum was crowded to suf
location last night by the Democrats
and their friends who attended the
farewell rally of the campaign. c. j.
Mccarthy presided. The stage was
handsomely decorated and hundreds
of those who visited the meeting wore
some of the bright Democratic ribbons
that helped to liven the scene. The ut
most enthusiasm was shown through
out the entire affair. The speakers
were heartily encored and the closest
interest was taken in their remarks.
Il. b. Mechanism made one of his
accustomed stirring speeches. He said
that the claim of the Republican
party that it could help the sugar in
terests of the islands was without
foundation and counseled the people to
get in with the party which would do
them the most good as this was the
Democratic. The southern members
of the party were interested in pro-
tecting themselves from the en-
croachments of Cuban, Porto Rico and
other countries in the sugar produc-
ing line but should ally themselves
with the Democratic party which
would help them. He dwelt at some
length upon the tariff question and
furthermore touched upon. the pres
ent issue of imperialism. The lavish
use of money i'm the election expenses
was to be deplored. The Republic
cans had spared nothing to secure the
election of their Congressional candt-
date
]. o. Carter made a telling speech in
which he compared the Republican
party to Jacob who stole Esau's bless
ing from Isaac. Prince David was re-
ceiyed with rounds of applause upon
his entrance. He me- de brief address
in which he stated that he did not ask
the people to vote for him as an alii
but to think only of him as an Ameri-
can citizen and to vote for him and
give him a trial.
John Wise, E. c. Macfarlane, Gin
ton j. Hutchins, Abraham Fernandez
E. B. McClanahan and Frank Harvey
were the other speakers.

side of the Orpheum.
