LANCASTER DAILY'lNTEfiLlGENCER THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1881. w . fcancastct futclltgenrrt. THURSDAY EVENING, MAT 10, 1881. Snail all Areuud. Tliis Republican row seems te be very like a tempest iu a teapot, indeed. 11 is all ever the possession of the collector ship of the pert of New Yerk; and it does net seem that the whole party lias any geed reason te be agitated about se small a matter. Clearly it is a teapot sort of a parly, tliat a very little thing will disturb. The biggest men in the party are net giants. Conkling has been put forward as the show piece of the me me nugerieand has imposed himsolfupen the public as a great man. Grant is another who is presented us most illustri ous. Xe Republicans have made greater pretensions than these te the place of first citizen. Hut their greatness in net in their essence. Grant lias been lately permitted te retire te his just ob scurity, and OenUling is new called upon te step down from his pedestal. A great many of his late admirers arc busily em ployed in disparaging him. But he is evidently as great as lie ever was, and if his claim te the distinction given him has been unfounded, it is a great reflec tion upon the party that has se long sub mitted te his false imposition. It is a IKirty that is peculiarly subject te the control of men who arc essentially frauds. It elevated Grant te the presi dency and sought te make an image of geld out of that very common clay. The gilding wearingelt exiesed the deception. It put Hayes iu after him ; a man se fraudulent in every sense, as te have mude his name a synonym for fraud. Garfield followed and he is recognized as a sham of the first order. Conkling gees new into the same catagery. Dawes, of .Massachusetts, another would-be-leader, has exposed himself as false and shallow. Den Cameren fellows along. Mahone, a big figure for a period, dwindles down even te the minuteness of his physical corporation. Where are the really great men of the Republican party ? Is Blaine the greatest one ? De the jseeplc recog nize in him noble qualities thai they would bow down and worship ? A man of tricks and treachery, a cunning schemer and full of guile. Is he any mere than this V A party that can be convulsed ever the selection of a collector of customs has evidently something wrong with it. Xe great man would have been npsctby such a trillc ; no healthy party by it would have been thrown into con vulsiens. Yet all the Republican great men are in turmoil ever it ; even up te that first of its shams, Grant. Ifc expresses his belief that it is a fearful thing that Rob Rob erteon should lie appointed. And yet Robertsen has nothing te de but te col lect the customs. One would think that s distinguished a citizen of the state of New Yerk would net feel very proud of se small an ellice. And lie is net proud of it; he is only proud that he has beat en the ether fellow. The essence of the contest is just that which is iu a fight among a party of small boys. They don't care much what they are lighting about and don't knew ; it may be only a football ; but they are crazy te win. Rolierlsen wanted his miserable place because Conkling did net want him te have it. Conkling was unwilling be cause Blaine was willing. Blaine was for Robertsen te spite Conkling; and Garfield appointed him, the Lord only knows why. Seme of Sir. Conkling's friends ex press the opinion that there is mere ground than is popularly accredited for the belief that he is iu earnest in his withdrawal from the Senate, lie has probably reached the high water mark of his ambition and does net care te essay further ventures which may result iu discomfiture. 'When Grant offered him the chief justiceship of the supreme court he was disposed te take that honorable place of high estate and life tenure, and only withheld his acceptance out of consideration for his friends who needed his political assistance. His disposition te retire may or may net be accelerated by the unex pected popular resistance te his re-elec tien wlticli is being exhibited all ever his state. In view of these demonstra tions it is altogether likely that the opponents of the machine and friends of the administration may succeed in dead locking the New Yerk legislature, pre venting, with Democratic aid, an election of United States senator this session. Then the choice would fall upon an entire ly new legislature te be chosen by the people this fall. In that event it is net hard te see a Democratic triumph or the succession te Conkling and Plait of opposition te their faction. Fer Mr. Conkling this result may have no terror, but it is hard te believe that Mr. Malt had any anticipation of such a sequel te his resignation. lie is said .te have money enough and te have been ambi tious for political honors. Te such a man it is no light thing te threw away a six years' scnatership, at the very outset of it, with no chances of reclaim ing H. Wk hope the Republican MacdufTs will keep laying en.. They have shown enough of themselves and each ether te prove what a set of scoundrels their politicians in this county arc. As elec tion "day draws near charges accumulate and infamies multiply; the fresh con tribution te the literature of the cam paign in the picteral pamphlet just pub lished furnishes a new chapter of revela tion, the lurid light of which will shine far beyond the primaries of Saturday. We are glad te see the members of the Legislature voicing "the general disgust which is felt at the present manner of issuing the Lcyislaticc Recerd. It comes te us en an average two weeks, behind time. The service of its publication was never performed in a worse manner. It is a fraud upon the state and a swindle even upon the Legislature. Has the Examiner no opinion en the great events of its party recently hap pening at Washington and Albany ? Or des3 it fear te express it until after the primaries and reserve its greatest effort until it discovers who has been counted n for coroner ? The state of Pennsylrania has. ten million of its lean falling due next year, and the Legislature is engaged framing an act for funding it at a lower rate of interest. We de net see why we may net fellow the example of the United States and offer it te the old holders at three and a half per cent interest. The state ought te be able te borrow at that rate en a ten years lean, and at four er cent en a lean payable at pleasure. The leg islative committee is thinking, we hear, of authorizing a new lean te be bid for at net exceeding four percent. ; two and a-half millions of which will be payable in annual parts for a period of ten years and the balance in thirty years. But there should be no difficulty in de terming at what rale of interest Penn sylvaniania can new borrow for one and ten and thirty years ; and when that is ascertained no doubt the holders of the old lean will accept the deduction and the change can be made without cemmis sien te brokers, or profit te a syndicate. Tun stalwart cause of civil service re form keeps marching bravely en. Gar field nominates a corrupt Southern scalawag for the mission te Peru, and a corrupt Northern blatherskite for the mission te Chili. MINOR TOPICS. Tim chances arc that Conkling and I'latt may be left. It is a cold day for the stalwarts. Tiieke arrived in the customs districts of Baltimore, Bosten, Detroit, Huren, Key West, Minnesota, New Bedford, New Orleans, New Yerk, Passamaqueddy, Philadelphia, aud San Francisce, during the month ended April 30, 1881, 99,952 passengers, of whom 95,390 wcre immi grants, 2,709 citizens of the United States returned from abroad, aud 1,793 aliens, net intending te remain in the Unite Slates.

The companies are te give bend for the faithful performance of their contracts. WuiM the Philadelphia Keening Bulletin, Rep., will net sympathize with Conkling, it wishes the president had been less in consistent with Iiis proclaimed policy of civil scrvice reform ; aud it cannot imag ine what motive has impelled him te such performances as forcing Stanley Matthews upon an unwilling people. Likewise "the friends of that reform wcre discouraged when they found that the exec' lent sys tem established in the interior department by Mr. Schura was promptly overthrown by a member of Picsideut Garfield's cabi net, and that the president had resolved te rcmove from the New Yerk custom house the man who had made reform a practical fact in that establishment." Tin: Providence Journal, while it gives Mr. Hcury Geerge, the new social philes epher, high ercdit for his insight into things, declares that he has indicted a severe blew en his rising rep utation by the expressed view that the ex periment of popular government in the United States is au evident failure. This is at once felt te be a fundamental aud fatal error, and the Journal thinks it may prove as fatal te Mr. Geerge's scheme of social philosophy as Mai thus' theory that the world was iu danger from ever-population, or Carlyle's, that the mass of man kind were degraded aud could only be kept from ruin by the guidance aud rule of tyrants.

The New Yerk Times and Herald scarcely "catch the idea" of our senator Alexander's resolution at Harrisburg en Tuesday, iu which the action of Messrs. Conkling and Piatt iu resigning their places is applauded, aud Senators Cam Cam eeon and Mitchell are recommended" te de likewise. The Times, while doubtfully admitting that it "may be a joke," in clines te the ouiuien that it is " the result of that abnormal condition of mind some times known as hysteria, which affects men of nervous temperament in times of great excitement;" aud Mr. Ceukling's stalwart ergau, the Herald, proudly prints the proceedings under the caption of 'Pennsylvania Approves," evidently tak ing the matter in all seriousness. PERSONAL. General Gieugk B. McCi.i:i.i.an, Mrs. McCIcllan and Miss McClellan sail te-day for Hamburg en the steamer Frisin. GeitTseiiAKOFK is ea his way te St. Pe tersburg te resume the direction of the foreign office, despite his age and infirmi ties. Mrs. Gabpield has very little fever, her mind is perfectly clear, her strength is improved, and her condition is in every way mere favorable. Rev. IIesuy C. Westwood, D. D., for merly pastor of the Presbyterian church, this city, has accepted a call from the church in nonesdale, this state. Complete arrangements have been made te have Cel. Feknky's discourse en "Themas Jeffersen " at the Academy of Music iu Philadelphia, en Saturday even ing, June 4th, 1881. A resolution unani mously adopted by the Democratic city executive committee arranges for the oration. The omniscient and omnipresent Chas. Fester, governor of Ohie, was at Wash ington the ether day and told a newspaper correspondent, in confidence of course, that the late Senater Piatt told him him en Saturday last he was going te resign because he was tired of being bored by office-seekers aud his businsss at home required his attention. Rev. Alex B. Jack, the eminent and eloquent Presbyterian divine of Hazleteu,. Pa., whose silver-tongued oratory in pulpit and en platform has delighted and edified the people of this city, has been for some tirae suffering from an affection of the threat. He has been successfully oper ated en iu Philadelphia, and the operation has been attended witlr the happiest re sults. Mr. M. P. Handy, the mauaging editor f t.lm Pre., who lias been for some time in failing health, has been ordered by hi physicians te take a trip te Europe, aud has sailed in the steamer British Crown for Liverpool. His journalistic aud ether friends gave him a farewell breakfast yes terday at Laubcr's, aud subsequently ac companied him te the steamship deck, with many expressions of their wishes for a pleasant voyage and safe return. Miss Mauv Ikvine Scott, daughter of ex-Senater Jehn Scott, was married at her home in West Philadelphia this afternoon te Charles I). Scully, of Pittsburgh, junior proprietor of the Elba iron and belt works. They were married by the Rev. Dr. Dana, of the West Walnut Street Presbyterian church. The attendants were 3Iiss Annie Scott, Miss Sallie Scully and Miss Arndy, of Huntingdon. Only the relatives and friends of the two fami lies were invited. The survcyership of Philadelphia has net yet been fully dceided upon, although the indications favor the selection of Litcikn B Thompson', a merchant of Phil adelphia. Mr. MeKcc, Mr. Picric and E. II. Ncvin, jr., arc prominent candidates for the place. It is understood that J. A. Darlington will be nominated for post master at Pittsburgh aud Jehn P. Drave te be surveyor of custams, giving oue rep resentative te each faction of the part. Mr. Drave's friends claim, however, that Mr. Cameren is trying te defeat their man, after hiving secured the nomination of Darlington, the machine candidate. It was Dknnis McCarthy who get the Republicans of Hemer, N. Y., te get up a pretest against re electing the stalwart senators. It is accounted for by an inci dent in the Chicago convention, te which Mr. McCarthy was a delegate. Mr. Mc Carthy was for Blaine, although at first he voted for Giant. Mr. Conkling get word that that he intended te change ever te Blaine at a certain ballet. When New Yerk was reached en that ballet, however, Mr. Conkling had net received word from Mr. McCarthy and he allowed quite au in terval te elapse iu announcement. Finally, when the pause had become embarrassing te these around him, some oue asked Mr. Conkling why he was waiting. "I am waiting," he replied iu his most withering manner, " for the treachery of Dennis McCaithy." McCarthy hesitated no longer te cast his vote for Blaine, aud this is his first blew back at Mr. Conkling. .MULLElfii FAITH. He lolls Hew His Prayers Answered. Have Boen Rev. Geerge Mullcr, of Bristel, England, is iu New Yerk, and iu a lecture before the Yeung Men's Christian ' association told something of his lifelong work and of the training that led up te it. He was born en September 27, 1805, iu Prussia, aud from his earliest childhood his father intended that he should be a clergy man. He was educated accordingly, aud in the Easter of 1825 he passed the necessary examination and entered the university. But though a student of the ology he lived only for the pleasures of the world, and was a constant attendant at theatres, balls, card rooms and billiard sa loons. On returning home he was taken by a friend te a small prayer meeting, where he was converted in a single even ing. In the university there wcre 1,250 students, aud only three pious ones, who were ridiculed by the ethers. He becatne the fourth pious student, and patiently bore the contempt showered upon him for his action. In 1829 he went te England, and seen afterward became pastor of an English church. He heard that the trustees had some difficulty in collecting his salary, se he told his people that for the future he would accept no regular remuneration, but simply take what they could afford te give him, aud from that time te the pres ent, fifty years aud seven months, he took no salary. Often all the money iu the house was gene, and he and his wife fell en their knees and prayed for as much as was requisite for house rent, servants' wages, clothing and ether necessaries, and they never failed te get it. Many times the last feed iu the house was en the table, but neither he nor his wife were alarmed. They laid the case before the Lord, and the daily bread was always forthcoming. When he first determined te open an or phan asylum, Mr. Mullcr said he asked Ged for 81,000 and the money came in slowly. He described the successful work ing of the various institutions, homes and asylums that had succeeded the initial one and said that the expense of supporting them was enormous. He had often paid out :is much as $25,000 in a single day,aud never had he worn out a pair of shoes or ex pended a single dollar in trying te collect the money. He had simply waited en the Lord with prayer aud faith aud he had never been disappointed. He and his wife had yesterday morning laid about sixty petitions before Ged aud he had no doubt that they would all be granted. Sixty petitions wcre about his daily average, but sometimes they rose te seventy and seine seino soine times fell te fifty. Among Kobertsou' Friends. In the New Yerk Senate when the dis patch announcing Robortsen's confirma tion was read the wildest excitement en sued. Amid cheering and clapping of bauds Mr. Sessions jumped upon his chair and gave three cheers for Robertsen, while Mr. 1 lusted, who had come iu from the Assembly, also leaped upon a chair aud aided in the cheering. Mr. Leem is then called for three cheers for President Gar field, which wcre given with a will. A general handshaking followed, amid which the Senate adjourned. Robertsen appeared te be deeply affected. Celebra tions aud rejoicings ever the result of the prolonged struggle are reported from a number of cities and towns throughout the state, and friends of the administration allege that the re-election of Conkling and Piatt is impossible. m m A Chance for Sauder Si Ce. Philadelphia Ledger. If the Philadelphia representatives at Harrisburg who persist in misrepresenting their constituents in the delinquent tax matter could only be persuaded te fellow the illustrious example of Senators Conk ling and Piatt, and appeal te their districts for a vindication, their action would cre ate a " sensation" in this city no less marked than that resulting from the Wash ington coup.

Intelligencer, I de net knew what sort of weather you are having, but 1 de knew that we are having it het and heavy here. Real rammer weather with all its accompaniments roses, strawber ries, green peas and "gard'n sass." The picnic season is here, tee, and picnics and excursions are all the go. We are com pelted te have them early, before the in tense heat of summer sets in. Saturday our Sunday school intend having theirs, and we are going about twenty-five miles up the Arkansas river te ifrlace called " Natural Steps." The trip will be made by steam beat, and the ride up and down will be enjoyable. " Wc are having lets of "dust" kicked up here by the star route rumpus, as the 1 man Derscy was one of our senators' (elected by fraud and bribery in the ear-pet-bag days). There are also quite a number of our prominent politicians in the same beat with him, and also the presidents of two of our national banks. I tell you they de net rest easy. Why, one man was pointed out te me te-day who made ever $00,000 by "expediting" his contract last year. Dersey was worth about $60,000 or $75, 000 and spent it all trying te make the Senate, and went there " busted," He is new worth hundreds of thousands made by the star routes. It is painful te sec the fearful injury done te this state by carpet-bag rule. We arc carrying heavy debts for contracts made aud bogus bends issued by these men and I take this te be a fair represen tative of all the Seuth. Why, I go by two squares of strcet that were paved with blocks that are new iu ruins, that cost the city ever $100,000 aud wcre actually paid for twice. The real Southern people I like, and they are trying all they can te build up ; but ene must come among them te see hew they suffered and are still suffering ; te sce what the war did for them ; and if you want te get your belly full of " nigger " just come here, and I'll war rant you that you or any ene clse will get your fill. Take the elder ones and they are all right, but these that are growing up new are saucy and idle, ihc most of them of no earthly account. They liveiu low hovels iu large numbers, iu some eases four, five and six families in ene hut, in the most squalid manner. Frem all accounts there will be an im mense tide of immigration te our stale this summer principally Germans. Last Monday I left Little Reck aud went up the Ft. Smith R. R., te a point near the border of the Indian ter ritory ; I traveled all night, en a freight train ; arrived at my desti nation iu a big miu and hail storm, aud started back iu the morning by 8 o'clock, striking right through the weeds en horse back and was two days making the sixty miles back te Little Reck. I rede about eighty miles, as I lest the trail several times and was compelled te go back te find my way, for I would have you remember that the reads through the backwoods are net like our country reads, for en some el theni tnere never has a dozen wagons geno since they were built, and at seme places they are mere bridle paths leading by some squatter's clearing.. I passed ever some part of the read that nevcr a wagon had gene ever, aud could only keep my way by watching the blazes en the trees. A blaze is a chip cut out of the trunk of a tree about six feet from the ground, and shows which is the side of the new read, aud the particular way it is cut gives the direction. On these reads are no bridges, but all streams, little or big, must be forded, and I was unfortunate, as the rain had swollen thcin and they were high ; I rode iute some of them with considerable trepidation. I knew my herse was accustomed te that kind of traveling ; but even he re fused te go in one or two. Fer several miles my way lay along the Arkansas river, but the scenery along it is quite dif ferent from what it is along our northern rivers. The ceuutry is low and flat, with only an occasional slight elevation, aud the shores arc all washed out aud destitute of hcrbage, presenting only a monotonous stretch of yellew sand. This river, like its sister, the Mississippi, runs through a sandy soil and is always changing its course with every freshet. After ridiug all day I came out of the weeds at a little railway clearing, eight miles from where I started aud I hail rid den about 35 miles. Get my horse ou a freight car by making friends with the agent. He took a bale of cotton out aud put my pony in aud rede that night te Conway, 15 miles further en, and 35 miles from home. Next morning bright and early, though a little sero and stiff, I started oil' from Conway and as that read was pretty toler ably plain, kept en and arrived in Little Reck by 4 o'clock and surprised Dr. B., who did net expect te see me before the next day. Take it for all in all I enjoyed my ride very much, a; it was a new experience te me te be out in the weeds alone. When one rides for miles and sees no sign of a human habitation, and when very occa sionally you de sce a house it is that of a settler or squatter, built of legs, chunked with clay, the whole house about the size of our summer kitchen and all in one room, with a chimney built of stones and legs against the ene end and plastered with mud ; with no ether fire but the ene our forefathers used ; tables, chairs and beds all home-made ; a few acres of clearing around it, and no ether being in miles but themselves, where they de net see any body for weeks may be. It brought very forcibly te my mind the hardships the settlers of our own and ether states went through. But of all lonely places in this world commend me te the bayous or lakes in the weeds, dotted full of cypress trees, stretch ing for miles and net a'sign of life auy where, and the snakiest-looking sort of a place in the world. Saw a beaver dam in one and also a young beaver, that a party of young hunters had shot. Remember this is yet the home the deer, bear and "aich" and right here is the present home of the " noble Red." 9 Everybydy travels en horseback in this state, aad they de net think anything of going 200 te 500 miles ;in that way. Au average radian pony can easily carry one 40 miles a dav. L. i . LATEST NKWS BY MAIL.

Seuie Neighborly Humer Over Xlieui. Itc.i(liii News. 4 Lancaster county is one of the Repub lican strongholds iu this state, aud is gen erally expected te give a majority iu favor of the "Heg Ring 1' or ".Bull Ring," as the voters feel inclined. These rings are the Republican centres of power, te which all the members of that political erganiza tien in Lancaster county, if they have any hope of preferment, of official favor or of reuccess, must yield implicit obedience. It nas been suggested that a " Hash King" would prove attractive te the feeders at the political crib. There would be little Scnsenig-etiating victory with an unknown factor in the contest, but whether this New Era in Lancaster politics dawns sooner or later, IIicstand's an equal 'chance of win niug the Mellen. It is new iu order for the Examiner te Express an opinion ou this subject, aud. Griest should Iuquircretind and learn the sentiments of the people. As it is, no one knows whether the re sult will be Bull, Heg or Hash, but all are aware that the bull has hay en his horns, and that it is root, hog or die with many, aud there is no Wisslcr down the wind about the coming primaries. Next Saturday the contending parties will meet in a " life aud death struggle " aud the calls for aid te the Brady's of the party arc loud aud incessant. A Bitter Campaign. Lancaster Dispatch te Times. The present campaign has been render ed specially bitter by the complete changes about in the local combinations, which have already been outlined in the Times. McMcllen, Mentzcr and Greff are new with the Examiner, while bcuscuig, Eshleman, Ebcrly, Brencman, Hen Rohrer and ether late "Bull Ringers" are new iu the New Era party. These defections have been the subject of much ridicule and raillery between the factional leaders and their organs during the past mouth, and they have been telling catch ether's secrets at a rate that is highly profitable for public information. The Inquirer aud Examiner en one side and the New Era en the ether have been waging a merciless personal warfare en the editors of each ether aud their political friends, and te read them the stranger would think the Republican organs here wcre controlled by black mailers, bribers, curriintieuists, liars and thieves ; that Republican contests for nominations in this ceuutry were simply auctions of electoral virtue ; that the can didates only bought their way iute the office te steal their way out ; that in times past corrruptien has ruled in the vote and fraud iu the count, and that the plans of both sides proceed from councils held in dens of prostitution and gambling saloons, where the factional leaders, their, pimps and mistresses held high revelry. With nil such charges and bold intima tions the Republican organs here have been recking for several weeks and their fury increases as election day draws nearer. Alail Agent IIubley'H Explanation.

TheCeuaty Flooded Willi 1'auiplilcU. ; As tie of the incidents of the local cam paign' new ranging among the Republi can of this county, the JVcie Era people have prepared aud arc circulating 20,000 pamphlets iu behalf of their ticket. A score or mere of men will scour the county and put these documents iute evcry workshop, store, tavern and farm house and 'into the hands or every voter that can he reached, te which task these eanvassers will apply themselves for the balance of the week. This proceeding is expected te arouse public interest aud bring out a full vote for the 3Tew Era ticket, and from the ether side some counter demonstration may be looked for. The pamphlet which the yew Eni-Scu-scnig party has prepared is a book of six teen pages, adorned with portraits of their candidates. With a considerable foresight they hail, put the pic ture of Judge Livingston, -who has no opposition, ou the outside, and ap propriated his popularity as a boost for what they call the ' People's reform ticket." It is said he " kicked " against this use of his geed-looking face, awl the managers withdrew his picture1 ' from nearly all-tlm documents iu circulation lest such appropriation of him without his consent, if repudiated, might react in favor of the etlicr side. Enough copies of the original, however, are extant for them te get into general circulation, and one famous Bull Ring politician te day showed us five copies of the edition with Living ston's picture ou the outside which he had captured As it is a favorite trick here by a candi date's enemies te report him withdrawn en the eve of the primary, every page of this patnplct bears the legend : ' Ne can didate en tins lici-jet will be withdrawn,' and in order te make capital against Bess McMcllen, leader of the Examiner party, new prothenotaiy and accused by the Era of taking illegal fees, the following head-line runs across the top of every page : "Every candidate ou this (the citi.cus') ticket pledges him self te abstain from taking and allowing his subordinates te take illegal fees." The document opens with the following choice dedication of its philanthropic pur poses te the cause of the people, involving the recollection of an historical fact, for which the Era 'icople depend ou ex-District Attorney Eshleman for proof. Eshleman,- it will be remembered, was lately a partner of tjuay, lliestaud, Brown & Ce., but new he trains with the New Era party whose editorial columns no longer ring with denunciations of him, while he ' 'gives away " the little games of his late associates. The "people's reform" appeal opens thus : "Oue year ugeagicatiHtlitical crime was committed in Lancaster county. It was ilone te elect a gambler te the responsible position el public ptot-ccuter aud te make the people pay a gambler's debts. Te ac complish this, every resource of fraud and corruption was exhausted. The path by which McMclkm, Meutzer, lliestaud and Hay Brown secured the nomination of Tem Davix, in defiance of all honor and common decency, was strewn with broken pledges and dishonored obligations. Hay Brown traveled through the southern dis tricts of the county distributing tjuay's iniquitous corruption fund of four thousand dollars as shamelessly and unblushinly as the harlot de scribed by Iviug Solemon allured and debauched her victims, while passing along " iu the twilight, in the evening, in the black aud dark night, lying iu wait at every corner, saying 'I have peace offerings with me a bag of money, which the geed mau has brought at the day apiein(ed ;' therefore, came I forth te meet thec and have found thee ;' and then, with his ' much fair speech,' he caused these of easy virtue te yield, corrupting the cerrup.ille aud purchasing the pur chasable, iiiit.il the public was startled and honest men looked ou iu amaxtuent and sadness te see a great aud noble county, the first iu agricultural wealth aud indus trial reseui ccs of all the counties in the Union prostituted by the bxscst of politi peliti politi harlefry te pay a gambler's debts !" It claims that the single way te reform and avenge all this is by a ticket of irre proachable men, pledged te legal fees only and te honorable methods of nomination and by the complete organization of " the people."' Then fellow the weed-cut half-page portraits of the candidates aud compli mentary biographical sketches. Iu its no ticc of I he prison management this docu ment presents this posture of the local ad ministration of public affairs : "The Lancaster county prison has been a stench iu the nostrils of the public for a quarter of a ceutury. Within its walls have been concocted some of tin most dan gerous political intrigues which have ever disgraced a county. Its executive officers have been chosen because of their capacity as political tricksters rather than for any ether qualifications. The machine has been run by one faction or another mainly te perpetuatc the most extravagant and wasteful system of plundering the public. Its accounts are even te-day an inexplica ble jumble of figures which no accountant can unravel. Hew many thousands have been stolen there no man can tell. The present keeper has made it a sort of free lunch hotel for his political friends from all ever the euuty, and his son-in-law, Al. Smith, is the man he wants at the lunch counter for three years mere." Iu another place the chargs is made : " The debt of Lancaster eeuiity, in round uiimlcrs, is about $(JO,000 and every year the county is cheated out of, or has stolen from it by or through the con nivance of corrupt public officials, at least one-tenth of this ainouut,er $:), 000." Tin Examiner already retorts that the New fc'et-Seusenig party tried their best te get Al. Smith iute their combination aud premised te furnish the money and immu nity from nuwsapcr attack for his cam paign. There is seme truth iu all this. Jack Weisc and Fred Smith refused the overtures.

JiU: " Danny Shiffer's picture will be mis taken for that, of Audrew Jacksen, aud he will run like h 1 in Berks county." An Examiner Bull Rimjtr. "The publication of my portrait iu that circular was a gross outrage. I knew nothing about it- until it was printed and then I indignantly protested against it and took measures te have it suppressed. Being the only candidate placed in nomination for j'udge, and being supported by both factions, it was an outrage te attempt te make me appear as belonging te ene of them. I bcien-r te neither of them, and will vote for neither or their set-ups. I will vote for some of the candidates of both factions net because they belong te cither faction but because I deem them fit men." Hen. J. B. Livingston "Every body's friend ''ferjudge.
