HOWE. The Democratic) managers in this State have apparently abandoned all hope of defeating the Kaliant General Gregg with the Corporation Lawyer Wright, and are now plauniug a terrific assault on captain Morrison, hoping to defoat him. That scheme will (ail. Captain Morrison is an honorable, honest and capable man, and will receive the support of his party and that will elect him. The Wilkes Barre Nnvs Dealer has rend Eon.

William B. McLean out ol the Democratic party because ho refuses to support John Lynch for Judge. The News Dealer clinches its argument as follows: "Now, how can Mr. McLean be a Democrat when he refuses to support the Democratic tlckei?" He says fraukiy that he cannot and will not eupport the Democra.ic nomiuee for Judge, Taat being the case he is In open rebellion against his party." The News Dealer's argument and conclusions, if correct, are even more severe on Lynoh's Democracy than on MoLean's. When AicL an was the duly nominated candidate of the Democracy for Judge, Lynch not only opposed him but became a third party's candidate for the express purpose of defeating SlcL iun and did deleai him.

It follows, If the News Dealer's reasoning is sound as 10 McLean, then Lynch is not a Douiocrat either. As against the News Dealer's reasoning stunds in bold relief the declaration of Chairman Kerr, of the Democratic State Committee who says that McLean's opposition to Lynch does not impair his standing as a Dninocrat, and does not disqualify him for a place on the Democratic State ticket as a candidate for Delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Either the News Dealer's editor or Chairman Kerr must bo off his base. Jn 1891 Strike for Victory in 1892 The Deniooratlo leaders of Pennsylvania are beginning to understand that they cannot get away from National issues In this campaign. hey really that they cannot delude Republicans by their silly argument; that the loss of Pennsylvania this year would have no tearing whatever on the National contest next year; that even it the State went Democratic next month the Republicans could easily reoover it In tne great battle a year later.

The Bepublicaus hold the fortifications in Pennsylvania now, and they cannot be made to believe that there is sense in the proposition to surrender the works now and retake them next year. No Republican with even a tuimbleiul of brains can be misled by such sophistry as the Democrats are putting forward. In Oulo and New York the Republicans are fighting the desperate battles they are now engaged in not merely for present victory but for vantage ground in the greater battle next year. The same spirit ginning to animate the Republicans of Pennsylvania. We are on tne eve of a Presidential campaign, which will be the most desperate battle for supremacy in the naiional government that has ever been fought Republicans who beiieve that the policy and measures In national administration represented by the Republican party are right, patriotic, and for the best interests of the couutry, eould be guilty of no greater inconsistency than to give the opponents of those policies and measures the advantages of a victory In Pennsylvania this year.

Specious Democratic argument should not have a feather's weight with thoughtful, conscientious Republicans. With clean, honest and capable men on the ticket men like General Gregg and Captain Morrison what possible excuse can there be for any Republican of sense and judgment to vote With the Democrats? Republican policy, Republican principles, Republican measures, are issues in this cumpaigu. Republican success in the National election next year is an ietue now. In Onio and New York the Republicans are fighting for next year as well as for this year. Pennsylvania Republicans must likewise rise to a tius comprehension of the magnitude and importance of the buttle iu this State.

The battles now in progress in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and other States, Involve Protection and Reciprocity, a sound fluauolul policy, the preservation of a liberal pension system, in short every feature of national policy established by Republican administration; every system under which the oountry has grown great and prosperous. The Democratic party has declared war against Protection, against Reciprocity, against a sound and sate financial policy, against the pension system. Every Democratic suooess achieved at the polls this year will be claimed as an endorsement by the people of Free trade, a debased currency, opposition to pensions, and every other Demooratio polliloal heresy. This is a time for brave, true, steadfast and unflinching 'publicans toussert themselves in Pennsylvania as they are asserting themselves in New York, Ohio and other States. The battle o.

1892 is drawing near. The opposite armies are now merely struggling for advantageous positions. Whatever the Republicans yield now will only make the great battle next year the more uncertain. Bf.fore the close of the present week the wort ol the extra session of the State Senate ought to be pretty well advanced, and will be if those who have constituted themselves the prosecutors against the acoused State officials push things. It is not the duty of the Senate to hunt up evidence, but to carefully investigate and examine into Whatever is brought beiore that body that Is admissible and pertinent to the case.

The Democratic organs, or at least some of them, have already oommenced misrepresenting nnd falsifying the action of the Senate, and we regret to see the Scrantoa Times among the Dumber, as evidenced by its assertion that the Senate had rojeoted the motion to introduce the testimony taken before the Legislative Committee. That motion, after the substitution of only a single word, was adopted without a dissenting vote. The. Republican paper will be among the first to condemn the Seua'e for any failure to do its dnty ally, fearlessly and thoroughly. Democratic journals should have the fairness to eonflne them selves at least to the truth in their criticisms of the Senate.

The Campaign in Five States. A most important election will occur in five of the principal States of the Union two weeks from to day. These States are Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa, and in four of them Governors are to be elected. It is not that fact so much, however, that Invests the campaign with Interest as the rcumstanoe that this is the eve of the Presidential election. Our older citizens can well remember when the saying was current "As Pennsylvania goes so go the Union." To day the preliminary battl is being fought not only in Pennsylvania, but in four of the most important States of the Union besides.

In" all of these great commonwealths except our own the leading Questions of National policy on which parties "re divided are the subject of forensic discussion. Here as W4 have time and again the Demooratio managers and candidates seek to avoid the true political issues, and to confine the contest to the miserable subterfuge of John Bardsley'g thefts. Both parties everywhere, unless it be in Pennsylvania, recognize the faot that upon the result of the November elections will depend the political complexion of the next National administration. 8u. being the importance of the struggle it will be of Interest to take a glanoe at the field, the condition of the respective armies and the prospects for viotory or aefeat.

Beginning with Massachusetts and probably the hardest problem of all Is presented. Governor Ru9sell, who is young.and magnetic, is a candidate for re election. He is supported by the Bourbnn Democrats who formerly followed the flag of Josiah Abbot: together with such accessions as the free trade colleges have been able to bring to the Demooratio party among which may be reckoned the son of Governor Andrew and the nephew of Senator Hoar. Against Rasseil the Republicans have placed a young and aggressive Republican iu the person of Ex Cotgressniaa Allen in whom the Governor finds a foeman worthy of his steel. Ex Speaker Reed has thrown his strong personality into the canvass and the puuiicans are in earnest in their efforts to redeem the State.

There is a natura Republican majority in the State which it is believed will assert Itself, but the issue may be justly said to be in doubt. Coming westward to New York and we Bad a singular coudition affairs. While Alonzo B. Cornell was eleoted Governor In 1879 through the defection ol John Kelly, who re used to support Lucius Robinson, and General Harrison carried the State in 1883, New York has yet been regarded as a sure Demooratio State in any ordinary contin gency. But the Tammany oohorts took charge of the Saratoga Convention and dom inated iteohoict; henoe a new and forcible issue presented itself to Republicans of which they have not been slow to take advantage.

Mr. Fassett, the Republican nominee has presented this feature of the campaign so strongly In every part of the State that the Tammany leaders have been seized with fright. They have pressed Cleveland into their service and still they regard the issue with fear and trembling. They are now resorting to colonization and fraud in New jfork city to offset the arguments of Fussett In the rural distriots but exposure muy prove fatal to this scheme. Suffice it to say that many well informed ob servers of the situation pr diet the suooess of the Republican ticket.

In Onio both McKimey auu oainpiieii nave mtide rattling campaigns, the tar It being the principal issue. The Farmers' A.llance, or the People's party, undertook a cauvuss, but the bottom has fallen out of it and it has been practically ub tudoued. McKlnley has he advantage of about 20.000 normal Repub lican majority, while Campbell having alienated a powerlul faction of his party iu the city of Cincinnati, is at a disadvantage, even so far as his own party vote is con cerned. It is now practically oouceded that the Napoleon of Protection will win by handsome majority, and the ohancos lor carrying tile Leg stature, upon wnleh the choice of a Uulted States Senator depends, seem to be the best Of the Iowa campaign little seems to be known at the East The Republicans are hampered by the Prohibition question, and the Farmers' Alliance is in opposition. On the hand Is the strong Republioan sentiment of the State and the bounteous cropB which have brought prosperity to the farmer.

The Republicau ciudidaie, Mr. Wheeler, is a practical faim and ought to be strong with the agriculturists, while Gov ernor Boles, his Democrat io opponent has undisputed elements of strength. Iowa is therefore doubtful, but a dispassionate view would place the advantage on the side of the Republicans. In Pennsylvania greater activity than has heretoiore been displayed will characterize the dosing days of the campaign. Gregg and Morrison are making a tour of the Western counties and General Hastings has returned irom Ohio to inline some of his en thusiasm into the Republican voters.

From the Western part ot the State comes the most cheering news and it Philadelphia can be held In line there is no question that a magnificent viotory can be won. While the Democrats and Independents of the Quaker City are putting forth herculean efforts the Republicans have a tower of strength in the personality of George D. McCreary their candidate for City Treasurer and ought to carry him through triumphantly. If they do viotory in the State is assured. Cleveland and the Mugwumps.

It begins to look as a complete aud last ing rupture between Cleveland and the New York Mugwumps were imminent. While Cleveland has taken the stump for Fiower, at the command of Tammany, the Mugwumps are joking to the standard of Fas sett. Cleveland has yielded to the oressure brought upon him by Tammany Hall and is making speeobes for Flower and Tammany success. This constitutes a outtlng loose from his former Mugwump and Independent Republican allies and they will neither forget nor forgive what they regard as a falling from political grace. The Mug wumps are undergoing disenchantment They now see that the stuffing is saw dust.

Cleveland is a politician, and irom the poli tician's standpoint his latest move is shrewd. He wants the nomination for President next year; in order to secure it he must have the support of the New York delegation in the Na ional Convention. Tammany Hall is in command. of the Democratic party in New York, and Cleveland's only hope, therefore. is in Tammaay Hall.

Hud he refused to take the stump for Flower Cleveland would have been utterly repudiated by Tummany, whether were eleoted or defeated. Whatever the result of the election Cleveland will now have a substantial claim on Tummany. He is doing as much for Tam many's tioket as Hill Is. As for the Independent Republicans and Mugwumps whom he offeud when he bowed the neck to Tammany, he doubtless hopes and expects to mate peace with them later. The first thing Is to secure the nomination, and to accomplish that lie had to make terms with Tammany Hall, as that organization will inevitably control the dele THE SCRANTON; REPUBLICAN; TUESDAY MOBNING.

Tbe failure of tl sbip bailding firm of wing of Boston, is alleged to be due to too much red tape in tbe Navy department at The Aim bad a contract with the goven ment. for the' con structlon of Cruiser No. 11, for which C671, 000 was to be paid. The firm was to be tald in twenty payments as tbe work on the vessel progressed. The twelfth payment was doe on Saturday, aud the firm depended upon the money to meet certaiu obligations which were due on that day.

For some rea son the government supervisor stopped the payment and the firm's paper went to pro test. An assignment followed. When the details become known it will probably be found that this failure is not wholly due to "red tape" in the Navy de partment. The government supervisor bat not yet been heard from. I is not iikely that he Withheld payment of what was due the firm Without good cause.

The amount claim one twentieth of $671 000 wan only $30,400, While the liabilities are 5 375,000. If the firm is as solvent as Is claimed an assignment could undoubtedly have been averted. Secretary 'i'raey, of the Navy department, will doubtless be 'heard from on the subject today or to morrow. He is not the man to rest quietly under the imputation that bis deportment withheld money from a contractor after it had been earned and Was justly due. There la something else at tbe bottom of all this, and the faot will probably be discovered thai the firm has not complied with the requirements of the contract.

If Hon. Leonard should happen to see a copy of sirday's Scranton Times he would be both urprised and amused to learn that "Leonard Rhone never was a Democrat" The faot that Mr. Rhone was elected to the Legislature as a Democrat and never professed or pretended that be was anythiug else than a Democrat settles that question to tbe complete discomfiture of tbe Times editor. The trouble Mr. Rhone is giving the Democrats now is his peremp tory and indignant refusal to support Cor poration Lawyer Wright for Auditor Gen eral.

Moreover, Mr. Rhone is Worthy Mas ter of the Pennsylvania Grange aud is supposed to wield no inslguiflcaut influence among the organized farmers of the State. Ho fails to see the wisdom of the farmers in supporting for the offloe of Auditor General the attorney of a lot of the most grasping corporations in the Siate, and luousauds of other Democratic farmers will look' at the matter iu exactly the same light that Mr. Rhone does.

Govssnob Steele, ot oklihoma, has had enough of starvation out among the boomers, and hat resigned and gone ick to his homo in Indiana The successors ot Tweed In Tammany Hall denouncing Burdsley's thefts is not a sign of improvement la them, but simply a repetition of the address of the pot to the kettle.

This Is a ca ioof false pretence all around. Yesterday was tbe twenty seventh annivor saryof Sheridan's ride roniWincl jr to Cedar Crek, which has been immortalized in vere.

It now turns out that the Democratic victiry In Newark, N. by which Mayor Haynes was re elec.ed over Herman Lehlbach was accomplished by colonization and bribery and a contest wil be inaugurated. The contest between Koiser and Longnecker, Republicans, for Judge in the Bedford Somerset Judicial district Is still on, the former having declined all propositions of compromise. The Pittsburg Times reports Senator Neeb as Baying that the Republican Senators are detr mined to push the investigation of State Treasurer Boyer aud Audi or General McCamant until the facts are presented in such, a way that there can be no doubt as to their guilt or inno an.a The Harrisburg Telegraph says that Boss Karrlty and the State administration have abandoned Corporationist Wright and are bending all their energies to elect Tilden. The political farmer for revenue only, A.

L. Tilden, Is neglecting his duties iu the State Department to make stump speeches Beseoching people to vote for him for State Treasurer. The State pays him $2,500 a year. Two or throe instances of vltrol throwing are recorded In yesterday's papers by which the victims will totally loie their eyesight. This Is a case in which the punishment should be made to fit the crime and can't fco too severo.

The Philadelphia Prets, referring to the fact that Leonard Rhone, master of the Pennsylvania State Grange, has declared against Corporationist Wright, says: "Mr. Rhone is himself a Democrat, and last year did a great deal to influence tl farmers to support Pattison." We still think our neighbor, the Times, is in error in disowning Rhone. A Judiciary of which be FrOud. Pennsylvania common pleas judges, as a rule, are as clear lu 'heir elucidations of the law as any judicial officers of the same grade in the country, whose opinions stand the test of review when anpealed from with singular success ot affirmation. There are cases, ot course, of reversals, but they are not numerous, and when it is considered how lntricute and original are the principles constantly arising out of the business of the Siate, which is so largely involved in litigation, the faots are ot tho highest credit to the oourts below.
