The Independent Democratic convention
of Lackawanna county assembled today,
repeats and affirms the promises and dec
larations of purposes contained in the
platform of it's state convention held III
Erie in 1902
We recognize the necessity of cleansing
our commonwealth from the stain that
has come upon her by the unparalleled
corruption of the Boss Rule of Quay, and
his subservient dishonest tools. and de-
nounce the corrupt methods by which
that rule debauches the legislature. and
dominates every department of state af-
fairs for the purpose of securing "plums'
for himself and his retainers. in total
disregard Of the interests of the honest
people Of this state, Democratic and Re
publican.
We welcome with satisfaction the army
of honest Republicans in our common
wealth now marching on with the mighty
hosts OF Democracy in the endeavor to
once again redeem the state from the
stigma place upon her by the dominant.
corrupt wing of the Republican party
and We predict that In Hon. Robert H.
Pattison we have that faithful, tried and
patriotic leader who will carry the peo-
pies banner to triumphant issue.
We congratulate the Democratic party
In Lackawanna county upon the splendid
