the prseent importance of the pri

greeted the State campaigning \,
party assembled here today und c
^he conduct of the crowd was^ absolutely
orderly. It was a re n
piesentative gathering in every s
repect composed of citizens from p
ail sections of the county and a
was literally a field day for Mr. a
Hey ward. He received a perfect c
ovation in applause and flowers.
Most of the gubernatorial candi- v
dates were well received, Ansel p
and Talbert drew for second s
place. Tillman renewed his state- d
meat regarding his famous ruling e
in the Senate which was received
in absolute (lend silence, mi*, uunter
vigorously attacked Mr. Stevenson
relative to his association in t
capacity of counsel with some
giguntic corporation.
The speeches weroall good and

and giving strict attention.

nterested. The applause was
rory woll distriliuted, being apireciatively
given to all at the

TILLMAN ATTACKS TALBEKT.
The feature of the meeting was
he merciless manner in which
rill man went for Talbert and his
22 years of office holding. Col.
Tillman was most sarcastically
>ffectivj and his arraignment of
Jongres' man Talbert's record as
? public servant was sever*.He
leld faels and figures in his hand,
juoted these in detail and accomplished
a telling piece of work.
Hie said Talbert was dead now. He
igain assailed him for not being
>n duty at Washington where
fohnston alone remained at his
post. The only time Talbert was
>ver at Washington, he said, aciordiug
to the record is on pay
lay. Possibly, he added, Col.
Talbert thinks he is entitled to
his vacation because he is of no
ise whatever at Wash'ngton. Taltert,
he added, mentioned having
avored the . appropriation for

| Cleveland For Third Term.
i
t his and Many Other Suggestions
Made in Now York.
j Now York Dispatch t<? Hahitnore
Sun.
Now York Deinocrats were eug
eriy dicussing to-'lay the politi>
cal significance of the appearance
of Mr. Cleveland and ex-Senator
Hill at t ie Tilden Democratic
Club and the appamit cordiality
and good feeling existing between
the two foremost Democrats in the
East. ,
li is regarded as significant that
C>
Mr. Cleveland should have chosen
to break his silence at this time.
Mr. Cleveland's attitude toward
Mr. Hill was in marked contrast
to tlie reception which iio accorded
John C. Sheehan, foremost in
the affairs of tho (ireater New
Democracy, for whom, hy the
way, he has not entertained a
friendly spirit tor a score of
years, the estrangement dating
" 1 O n
hack to the time when Mr. Cleveland
.was mayor of Buffalo.
Sonio prominent Democrats declared
that if Cleveland and Hill
could be run on the Demociuiic
ticket tne party would score an
overwhelming victory in the next
presidental campaign. There is,
however, little hope of such an
alliance ever being made. Even
if Hill would consent t'> take
second place on tho ticket, the
fact that both candidates aro Eastern
luen would proven] their nomination.
Chairman F.ank Campbell, of
tho Democratic State committee,
glowed with enthusiasm.
"Why," said he. "1 have never
known the Democratic parly to be
so harmonious in the la^t ten years.
It'o just so because we have made
up our minds to treat everybody
right. That's tho spirit. We're
uot tighting anybody?except the
Republicans. We have stopped
fighting among ourselves, and
now we're going to present a solid
front and move in one compact
mass."
National Committeeman Norman
E. Mack, of Buffalo, the head
of tho Bryan element iu this State,
was asked what he thought of the
Tilden Club nieetiug.
"It was an interesting meeting.*'
ho said, " and 1 think it
will do good for the party. Mr.
Cleveland was .yell received, and
that wiil probably gratify lus
friends. His address was char*
acteristic. It will please his friends,
and cannot offend Dcm icrats of
any other faction. As u friend
of Air.Bryan, nothing was said or
done last night to which 1 could
take exception. It begins to look
if Democrats were determined to
bury past differences and get together.
Wo rcali/.o it's the only
way wo can win election.
National Committeeman Taggert,
of Indiana, also disci sscd
tlio harmony meeting "Mr.
Cleveland made an excellent
speech," ho said, "and we were
all glad to hoar him becauoe ho is
an ex president and a distinguishi
ed Democrat, whom we respect.
But he is not being considered for
the ^residential nomination, nor
will ho become the national Democratic
leader. hi his speoe't he
disavowed all thought of Mich
things. Tlio niiin 1 hear much
talked of for the presidential nomination
is Mr. Hill Ho is popular
in my section of the country,
and I tind that he is popular here
in his own State. *'
Governor f*. R. Odell, who was
jut the Fifth Avcnuo Hotel, replied
with spirit to the attack*
I
made upon his administration by
Mr. Hill at the Tilden Club.
k * 11 i 11,' * said the Governor, i4i?
the manager of the Democratic
campaign in this State, and such
attacks as ho made upon my administration
are to he expected.
! N ) doubt tlie Democratic stump
i speakers will go to the extremes
in thoir efforts to cvoite tho public
against the republican party.
Rut no amount of jnggling figures
or misrepresenting will help
I tlieiu. 'J'lie fart remains there
; is no State tax. That will count
with the peeple. It is one of the
strongest points in the Republican
campaign, and he cannot be sue
eessfnlllv assailed."
<%Mr Ilill declared that if you
are renominated you will be defeaUd,,,
was suggested.
"1 have perfect confidence in
the judgment of the people of this
State,*' replied the governor.
Il^e Republican ticket will be
elected, no matter who is tiominated.
Not only are all tha issues
j on our side, but our party organization
is in excellent condition,
while the Democrats are hopelessly
split up, despite all this harmony
talk. In fact, so much hari
uiony talk sounds suspicious.*'

Special to The State.
Scranton, June 20.?S. W.
.Iamc?. a prominent farmer of the
High Hill section, three miles
least of Scranton was killed this
| morning by H. H. Myers, his
bro^her-inTaw and a wcllknown
1 \ oung pianier. ino homicide was
| the culmination of a family fond
which has existed for several years]]
Thero was no eyo witness to the
killing. My information isthat
Myers and James had a dispute
yesterday about a dividing fence;
Myers forbade James to interfere
with the fence. This morning
| they met and renewed tho quarrel.
James advanced on Myers with a
fence rail. Myers shot James
and broke his arm, causing him to
I drop the rail. .lames continued to
advance, and when in reach Myers
j struck him a stunning blow on the
head with his gun, breaking the
: breech. James fell, and Myers
beat his head violently with the
I gun barrel. James1 head and

face was horribly enutiluted. He
lived only a tew hours.
The parties are well connected,
[and are prominent in this section.
