(I. , It is really impossible for The Tribune to devote valuable space to advertising the campaign journal that has recently been reconstructed by the delirium tremens artist, in acontrover sy upon the merits of its news service. The game is too small. Our delirious contemporary is welcome to all the glory that can be obtained in its own columns for any alleged "beat" that may Moat in its direction. Meanwhile The Tribune will continue to print the news; probably long after the itin erant mauagers of the campaign sheet have packed up their wind instru ments and sought other pastures. Watres for Senator. Seldom has a political proposition met with such immediate and unmis takable favor as did that of the Twen tieth district Republican convention when it yesterday unanimously sug gested Lieutenant Governor Louis A, Watres for the United States senator- ship in 1897 and pledged its nominee to his support. The applause which fol Jowed the reading of this resolution partook of the nature of an ovation; and the fact that several hours later practically the same enthusiasm was occasioned at mention of Colonel Watres' name before the Fourth dis trict legislative convention shows that this feeling was genuine and sponta- neons; and that it is shared by the Republicans of this entire section. This candidacy of a distinguished fellow townsman does not imply re buke to the aspirations of any other Republican. It is dimply the honest wish of Governor Watres' home con stituency, reinforced, as we believe, by the earnest desire of the party in gen eral for a representative in the federal senate in intimate sympathy with that party, and in the contldenco of the people. Although three years must elapse before the Instructions of yes terday can be carried out, it is timely (that this question should now arise,for the guidance of Republican constit uencies that must this year elect state senators who will participate in the se lection of Senator Cameron's successor, During the twelve years that Colonel Watres has been active in state poli tics he has displayed qualities which to the average man, are superior to gift of gab and excess of egotism. He has proved himself a tireless and mod est legislator, a discreet and successful political leader and a representative who could Invariably be depended upon to do his duty. Not claiming to be better than his party, he has never tlieless pursued a straightforward and at times, Independent course; and has held the respect of all classes without unfairly catering to any. He Is an ac curate type of those cool, level-headed and indefatigable men who do the hard work of law-making while the idle hurrah boys pose before the pub lib and capture most of the glory. His selection by the people for higher responsibility would be a fair reward for fitness repeatedly demonstrated. There is a good deal of solid sense In the Democratio Harrlsburg Patriot's assertion that "if Lackawanna county is a protection stronghold it ought to be kept such by the votes of Republl cans and not by those of protectionists disguised as Democrats. There Is only one great issue now dividing the two leading parties, and that issue is the tarlir. The parties as a whole are ranged on opposing sides of the question and individual members must be la . line with their party or be counted with the opposi tion. A man who claims to be a pro tectionist should not be permitted in the Democratio camp." Yet it is a fact of record that no Democrat has ever dared to fuce the inusio in this county on a platform that aquarely indorsed free trade. Candidate Mer rilk'ld is no better than the rout, lie is a "Protection Democrat" before elec tion. After the re-election of Repre sentative Scranton lie will be simply a ridiculous remiuisi-ence. The Legislative Nominees. I5y the holding of the Twentieth Senatorial and the Hecond and 1'ourlh .Legislative district llepuimcau con ditions yesterday, Latlrawauna's Re publican tickt't for this year is rendered complete. From lis head to its last name the ticket is strong with the promise of victory and the battle lines at this writing are in splendid fighting trim. 'Sames C. Vaughan, whom tho Re publicans of the Twentieth district have chosen to confront Senator M. McDonald, is an earnest and whole- souled young Republican, with a clean record inside his own party and hosts of friends among the enemy. His ca reer has been u progressive one, whether as school teacher, law stu dent, attorney or as a trusted' member of the Republican rank-and-file. He will redeem the district from Demo cratio representation and serve his constituency faithfully and well. In the legislative Held, the First dis trict leads the procession with a skilful ml seasoned veteran, John It. Fnrr whose triumphant re-election is not in doubt. In AlexT. Council, the Second district Republicans Jiavo named a candidate who has proved his worth In the important Held of municipal legis lation and whose promotion to Harris burg will come' easily and as a logical result. In the strong Republican Third district Frank J. Gro ver's nomination will be equivalent to an election because he deserves the support of every Republican voter and will draw heavily from the oilier ide. And Anally in the Fourth, Charles P. O'Malley confronts Repre ecutative Burke without fear or favor, and by dint of clean-cut personality and popularity will render a good ac count of himself. The election of the entire Republican ticket, from congressman to jury com missioner, is within easy reach if the party shall relegate all obstructionists and dissension breeders to the rear, This is a Republican year. A Democratic journal says Chair man btraualiau is ot tlie opinion that "with a wise and searching canv paign, Scranton, Republican, In the Lackawanna district, and Wagner, Republican, in the Montgomery-Rucks district can be defeated." Iu this dis trict the Democrats,before the conven tion at least, have certainly put up a searching" campaign searching to get any kind of a candidate. Tho "wisdom" of it will be determined later. Grade Mulberry Street. . The responsibility for the long delay In the promised grading of Mulberry street out to Arthur avenue must, it appears, be placed directly upon the Scrantou Traction company. Under Mr. Archer's management, that com pany obtained from the Lackawanna Iron and Coal company the right of way over the proposed Mulberry street extension upon the condition that it should bear all the expense of the nec essary grading. This grading lias not been done; and until it shall tie, the building lots sold by the Irou and Coal company are practically valueless for residence purposes, and the traction company's franchise, permitting it to run cars out Mulberry street to the park boundary, is of no practical avail An erroneous impression seems to exist that the city in some way is re sponsible In part for this provoking delay. The city engineer, it is true was once asked by the Traction com- panytoglve it the grade; but, upon the mayor's recommendation, he re fused to Interfere iu an olllcial capa city, for the reason that to have done so would have rendered the city liable for damages in a matter with which the city, as yet, has notliing whatever to do. The mayor was willing to let the city engineer stake out the grade after aiTeeted property owners had signed a written release; but' such a document has not yet been presented to the municipal authorities, and they are reluctant to intervene in an afi'air over which they have, at this moment, no jurisdiction and no control. Hence the matter in a nutshell, may be said to rest between the Lackawan na Iron and Coal company on the one hand, and the Scranton Traction com pany on the other, with the latter company in tho possession of the right of way which it has not yet paid for, under the terms of the contract. If the Traction company does not wish to assume this contract, it should seek a release from the Lackawanna Iron and Coal company, which, in turn, might profitably give the right of way, unin cumbered, to the city. The point which we wish to emphasize here, however, is that if the Traction com pany does not desire to act fuirly In this matter it should retire from the field, and give others a chance to make the Mulberry street approach to the Elmhurst and Nay Aug boulevard what It should be, in time to be of use to this generation. I ' Business Revival. ; While the cold wave that has had the effect of Increasing the popularity of the overcoat in many localities, has been tempered to a certain extent la this section, it is evident that autumn is again here to stay, and that, the straw hat and other emblems of a summer day are doomed. From this time forward chilling winds, white 'rosta, bleak storms and uncertain temperature may be looked for until the fleecy mantle of midwinter covers the earth. ' Consolation may be gained, How ever, from the fact that the approach of the season of disagreeable weather also heralds the renewal of business life and activity. Trade usually shakes off its summer lauguor at this season and becomes once more active and full of exuberance. The autumnal period Is ever one of bustle and excitement in business circles. This year there are hopeful indications that fortune will smile upon the business man and that the rci urns from enterprise will be more fruitful than they have been during the past years of depression brought on by thi'! administration of experi ment and ruin, The prospects of an early deliverance of the couutry from the grasp of the taritl-tinkering, stock- obbiug coterie ot Washington has caused hope to spring up anew In the hearts of the sanguine and has loosened the bolts that have confined the capi tal of the timid. From present indications the volume of business during the present season ought to meet tho expectations of the most enthusiastic and hopeful believer n the unlimited resources and finan cial stability of tho nation. POLITICAL NOTES. This is how the irreverent Harristtt ra Patriot concludes its moonshine story ubout Governor Pattison having been nllcred the presidency of the Lehigh Val ley ituiiway company: "it is apparent thnt Governor Pattison doeB not intend to drop into unprofitable ebscurity when he leaves Harrisburg if he can help it. If obscurity comes lie expects it to pay him a good Biliary. What his preseut finan cial condition is hie intimate friends do not say. nen he came to Harrisburg as governor, nearly four years ago, he freely told nis menus tnat tie was poor. 10 one prominent townsman he said: 'I have no money nud wouldn't know how to save it if i had.' Hut be has been learning a good deal since then. He ban been an apt pupil in an advanced school aud those who have watcneu unn are not snrprisea to know that not loug since be became the purchaser ot a beautiful suburban mansion near the Quaker City which cost over f JO, - WO. To reside in a house of that kind aud keep it up in fitting style requires a mull fortune annually. It Is not fair to suppoee, therefore, tnat tne governor is golug into solitude and then try to keep no a fw.uuu nouse on tne proms ot a voca tion of that kind. The signs therefore now point to a railroad presidency. And after why not a canuiuate tor a greater presi dency?" Chief Clerk Kerr thus whistles to keep Democracy's courcge op: "There is no question but what the Democrats will have a majority in tne next uouse or con eres", nltbough It will not be nearly as large as the present plurality in that branch. o shall nave Doth the senate and tho bouse by comfortable mar gins. The Democratic congressional com mittee has the situation very well under its care, ' and knows exactly what must be done to maintain su premacy in the house. We shall not do well In Pennsylvania, where there appears to be division aud dissension; but we shall maintain our own in all the southern and the western states, with a fair chance to retain in the northern states in part what came tons throngh tidal wave politics lu the last tonr years. The Republican party in making gains is simply coming back into its own. nud that is why some elections appear bo startling and so surprising." Thus far the Kepub lican party, in "simply coming back to its own," appears to nave naa great uitncuity in (topping on ur own Boundary line.
