~ mcnt that Newcomb should
e "a be elected because he is a
Democrat or that votes
should be cast for Hitchcock because
in this campaign he has chosen to be
a Prohibtonist would hardly go far:
yet they would be as little entitled to
Republican consideration as is the at
tempt of Ncwcomb's friends to excite
Jealousy among Republicans of Judge
Carpenters former law partner, MI
Flci.s.
I'letz doesn't need any excuses, apol-
ogies or other form OF defense. He is
aboundantly able to take care of HIM
self and is doing it all the time. The
blows aimed at Carpenter but landing
on him do him no harm and we have
been unable to discover that they have
harmed Carpenter. 1t certainly was no
crime on Carpenters part to choose an
energetic. young law partner. one cap
able of pushing his way up from the
ranks by brain and merit. Nor was it
crime for Ficitz among others, to
recognize in Carpenter good material
for the bench and to work both for his
appointment and his election. The fact
that "a majority of the bar of the coun-
ty, including Mr. Newcomb, indorscd
Carpenter for the appointment shows
that Fleitz was not alone in his opin-
ion of Carpenters merit, and Carpen-
ter'S conduct, since he went on the
bench, has satisfied every observing
citizen that he is the man for the place.
But just think how small this attack
on FletZ is. He is young man. He
began poor. lie has risen without pull
Or aid. lie has worked his way up
step by step, through use of opportuni-
ties equally open TO all; and simply
because he has made more rapid pro-
sress and won higher place than or
binary he is made the target of envy
and attack: and over his head blows
are aimed at Judge Carpenter than
whom there has not been a cleaner or
better judicial candidate in the history
Of Lackawanna politics. Though we
believe these tactics are utterly futile
rs concerns their power to defeat the
present excellent Republican ticket
ana have every assurance of the cleo
lion of that ticket Tuesday by hand

yet the contemplate character of these
tactics, the low estimate which they
place upon the fairness and upon the
intelligence OF our people, makes it
necessary that singing rehukc should

Newcomb permits these attacks, If
ne does not inspire them. Let him,
therefore, feel the weight of the pub

complete. This is only a small point
to be sure, but in overlooking it COL
onel Boics shows how professional re-
formers often trip and fall.
The coloneis lahorcd attempt to
prove the unconstitutionalty of the
Crawford county primary system,
which many Of the gentlemen now as
sociated with him in Colonel Hitch
cocks stump movement once so devout-
ly praised as embodying the essence
of political reform, is really ludicrous
In view of the fact that the courts have
held that direct primaries are CON
ventions' within the meaning of the
act of 1871: and, therefore, the neces-
sary expenses Of those primaries are
expressly authorized by law thus
coming within the constitutional oath.
From his arguments on this grave con-
stitutiona issue IL is evident that col
oncl Boies has taken his law from
Newcomh and the Times. Colonel
Hitchcock, who was willing to pay a
small assessment, but not his share of
the costs, knows better. Mr.. Sturgcs,
member of the bar, paid his share of
similar assessment last year and had
constitutional oath.
AS to whether, If the most rigorous
economy had been employed. the csti-
mate of expenses upon which the pri-
mary assessments were apportioncd
could have been cut down II few PEN
- a M fnNN ii.,<. 1i.ats,
at the expense OF the party workers
who are expected to keep the party
machinery going when Colonel iioes
Colonel Hitchcock, Mr.. Sturges and
ariStocratic gentlemen Of their kind en-
joy elegant leisure or more congenial
pursuits, that. like most of the profess
sional reforming proposed in this world
is based principally on conjecture. If
Colonel Hitchcock had paid ,lp, like a
man, and there had been an uneXpcnd-
cd balance, he would have got back
his proportion of 1t. Yet it was equally
his privilege to withdraw, as he did,
and enter into the third party or stump
movement which aims at the election
OF Mr. Newcomb. Only, having cXer-
cised this option, it i'll becomes him to
play an unfounded sympathy game.
Human nature is so contrved that
good men continually go wrong. 1t is
sad to see the gentlemen of the Muni-
cipal league working unconsciously tn
elect the Democratic ticket: but for
iunately our reports convince us that
they will not succeed.

Not Guilty in Three Places.

Harry Brink and ames Clamp,
two Trinidad youths, and Thomas
Rhoads, known to fame as the
mayor OF Rocky Ford, were ar
ranged before Justice Burns last
Tuesday night on charge OF
''hoIse stealing" They were ac-
cused OF having stolen one gray
horse and also one chestnut horse,
OF the value of SI75 each, from the
pasture OF p. II. King one day
last week. Rhoads accompanied
two strangers to this city last
week, who were buying horses.
They looked at the King horses
and agreed 10 buy them. The next
day the animals disappeared along
with two saddles that had been
stolen in Rocky Ford.
The horses were found in the
possession OF the Trinidad boys,
who claimed they had picked them
up near Hoehnes, where they had
been abandoned by two strangers
Rhoads was arrested in Rocky
Ford by Sheriff Barr and spent
two days in Jail. He was accused
of being an accomplice, and says
he will be careful in the future
about making inquiries for s,rsng-
ers in regard to horse deals. All
of the accused were released on
their own recognizance. The
horses were probably stolen by
some one and turned loose, but it
is not probable that any of the
parties arrested were implicated
