LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCE k. FRIDAY, XOTEMBER 4. 1881. lanrastci intciliaenca;. FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 4, 1881. Sir. Scott's Opposition. William L. Scott, of Erie, is a man te whom the Democracy ewe a great deal and for whom they have a great affec tion. He has been an earnest, steadfast member of the party, through geed re port and evil report, and has contributed te its funds with great liberality from his abundant means. His energy and sagacity have been conspicuous and val uable in its councils, and certainly there s no ether Democrat of Pennsylvania who has a greater claim upon the kind iegarl of the party, net only in the state but in the nation. It is, therefore, with great regret that we understand that he declines te sup port the Democratic candidate for state treasurer iu this election. The reasons he assigns were quite sufficient te war rant his opposing the nomination of Mr. Xeble, and one of them, if it is well founded, would justify his refusal te support him, though he has become the party candidate. He says that Mr. Xeble left the Republican party in 1872, and when in 187.5 he was defeated as a candidate for the nomination for state tieasurer in the Democratic convention, he ami his friends supported Mr. Rawle, the Republican nominee, who was elect ed. That allegation, if correct, would naturally have caused Mr. Scott te siiengly oppose Mr. Nebb 's nomina tion. It would h ive had that effect en any geed Democrat, for nothing is mere disgusting than te knew that a man who as'cs etiicj from a party has previ ously eppased that p irty from no better causethan disippeinted ambition. But after Mr. Xeble has been nominated by the party it is useless te inquire whether this ch irgc is line, because it should net affect a Democratic vote, whether true or false. Such a question was settled when the nomination was given. The will of the majority of the party dele gates must be yielded te and obeyed whenever a nomination is made of a man who is fit te fill the office; other ether wife a puty can have no coherence or strength ; it oau'iet be a party without mu'u il concision in non-essentials. But Mr. Scott further declares that Mr. Xeble is net competent te discharge the duties of tieasuieref the state. If he se confidently believes, he is right net te support him ; fei no man can be required by his pailv te vote for a candidate whom he considers unfit for the place. Fitness te discharge the duties of the office In' is nominated for is a piime es ssnti tl in a candidate, and a voter can not ! i.'q. tiled te .subordinate his judg ment hi this t that of the pai ly couven ceuven couven tien. 11-' lias no right te vote for an unfit man for ofiice ; his geed conscience feibids him te de it. Jinl Mr. Scott cannot expect his fel l3vv Democrats te accept his opinion as t) Mr. Xeble V fitncs for state tieasurer against the endorsement of their conven tion an 1 against the facts as they knew them. We assume, until we have evi dence otherwise, that the convention would net nominate an unfit candidate. Then we knew that Mr. Xeble has man aged Well his own financial matters, se as te attain wealth, and thence a fair presumption aiises that hr is well fitted te be the financial officer of the stale. He is net, se far as we have heaid, chaigi.il with dishonesty. Mr. Scctt doss net iiilh.i ile such an accusation. Ner i '.s he show wherein Mr. Xeble's unfitness consists. lie does net sui sui pert his allegation w ith facts ; and we naturally infer that it is inspired by pie judiee. Mr. Scott is et a very ardent, earnest natuie, with strong feelings of like and dislike, leadily excited. He isa man of emotion ; and most probably has bien uioux'd-te enmity agauist Mr. Xeble by K-asiins which, if disclosed, would be quite insiilhcicnl te inflame the cool ceol coel heuled eter. Erie county ; and Mr. Bierly'.s in Ly coming county. This is all se far as heard from. Diligent inquiry and the offer of $1 per head in Erie, has failed te discover any ethers. On the ether hand he will get 500 votes from his Republi can neighbors in Erie, and a geed many mere in ether parts of the state. At a little meeting of distinguished and influ ential gentlemen around a business table in Pittsburgh, the ether day, five Re publicans announced that tl.ey had started out te vote for Baily, had changed te Wolfe and new wcie determined te vote for Xeble. A Dejiech vtic vote for Wolfe has no significance. It is the Independent Re publicans who want te stand up and be counted. Mil Baldwin-, the new uoteiious New ark cashier, we are told, was a man of very simple habits. The president and directors of the bank were the veiicst simpletons. Menti, education is ;i better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. If we retrench the wages of the schoolmaster, we must raise these of the lccruiting sergeants. Olk amiable Republican local contem poraries are having a lively contievorsy as te which of them has most nailed Wolfe's name te the masthead. It is an open question which has dene mine for his success in their own wav. ('ion ml I ess Ubjettieus. The editor of the leading Republi can journal in Erie"' has gene te the trouble and expense of having an inter view with Wm. L. Scott telegraphed ever the slate. Mr. Scott, who is the Penn sylvania member of the Democratic na tional committee, is repiesented in this interview, .scattered broadcast by the Republicans, as saying that he will net suppei t Mr. Xeble, the regular nominee of his jurty. His reasons given for this refusal aic that Mr. Xeble only came into the Democratic party iu 1S72, belted its nomination for state treasurer in 1ST"), and that he has net the capacity for the proper administration of the office of slate tieasurer. The first objec tion is net a valid one ; plenty of geed men came into the Demo cratic paity iu 1S72, at their own personal and political cost, have remain ed in it te their own credit and te the advantage of the party, and deserve well of it. Their nomination te an office by a regular convention of the paityisas much entitled te ils respect and support as any ether. As te the allegal ion that Mr. Xeble and his friends did net sup port Mr. Piellet for state tieasurer in 187-j, we aic expressly and directly au thorized by Mr. Xeble himself te say that this is net true ; ihat he did then suppei t the Democratic nominees fully and iicaitily. He is competent te knew wnai j.c (no, ami mere is no reason whulfver te doubt or gainsay his asser tion en this point. As te his fitness for the place te which he is named, his success in business and in the administration of his private affairs, contradict Mr. Scott's estimate of him. His neighbors have repeatedly honored him with their suffrages formaver and member of the Legislature and elected him by unusual majorities against odds; his Democratic fellow citixens have tes tified emphatically te his uprightness and intelligence and he has net fallen short of the duties of the places te which they elc.ated him. Mr. Scott says he never signed a cei lificate te this effect te which lnu. name was appended ; it is certainly the first time he ever denied it, though it was published a jearnge. Mr. Scott will net vote for Neble ; neither will the editor of the paper which he i3 popularly supposed te control. Although they will net vole for Baily. Mr. Xeble will lese these two votes in Tin: itef Era of this city and the Read ing Eagle will have te leek te then lauicls as sensationalists. The latest mm dei story of the Spirit of IVnU " lays away ever" anything our ether esteemed contempo raries hae attempted lately. Tun venerable Archbishop of Tu im has joined hands with his colleague of Cashel in denouncing the anti-icnt. manifesto of the Land League. This is a denuncia tion thai Yfiil cany with it cven gieatcr weight than that of Archbishop Cieke. The aged pielate of Tuam, new past his ninetieth year, has wen the affections of t'je Irish Catholics by a life of benefic nt labor. He is deeply and deservedly icver icver enced, and with many what he lecom lecem lecom mends will have all the weight of law. Ax alleged Xcw Yeil: coriespentlcnt of the Xeic Era writes te it as fellows : "It would be a giaccful tribute would the Domeeialic Senate place the colonel in his former position as secietaiy, but the Scu- atj will net.

Her Welcome te "ew YurK. Sew VoikC'er. Philadelphia. Ledger. A fresh sensation te day is the atiival of Adcliua Patti and her companion, Er Er neseo Xicelini. They were passengers en the Algeria, which reached quarantine Thursday morning about 9 o'clock, whcie the steamer Blackbird, with a reception party, was in waiting te escort them up te the city. As seen as she touched the deck her enthusiastic admirers presented her with a wreath of red roses, in the cen tre of which was a star composed of ca mellias, and underneath the words "Queen of Seng, Welcome Heme. The ladv made her way into the cabin, as well as she could, under two a:ches of flewcis, each bcaiing the weid "Wei come," and in the cabin itself she was greeted with a colossal fletal lyie, with her name near the base, and a basket of flowers en which wcie tastefully weiked the Ameiican and Italian flags. " Abiicf address of congratulation and wclcome was delivered by Mr. Jciemc Buck, te which the cantatrice with her hand en her hcait responded, "Thanks!" "thanks!" Subsequently there were baud-shakings ami intioductieus all around. Among the company were the concspeudent of the Paris Figare, the editor of the Londen Porcupine and sundiy city journalists and dramatic ciitics. Patti, in the course of a fragmcntaiy conversation, up the Bay, said, pensively : "It is twenty-two year since I left America. I dislike te make long sea voyages, and this is my first ene since I bade 'geed bye' te Ameiican shores. I would net have come new weie it net that I longed te see the dear old place again. Te be here makes me as happy as a lark. I am prepaied te see many changes in Xew Yerk, but I shall net notice crowded thoreughfaics or vacant lets. I .shall leek into the eyes of the psepta who treated me se giaudly well, it is ycais age. A wo man is proud of her youth ; but I can sink all thoughts of the intei vcuhig 3 cars if the friends of my youth ieccie me kindly." As te hew long she intended te remain 111 the I nited States, she rcmaikcd that she could net say, " but if the Amei i can people won't let me go away I shall have te stay altogether. But," after a moment's pause, she added, "I .shall have te go back. It would luiu peer Fianchi if 1 did anything te bieak the engage ments he has made for me.

The charge for the best scats en Christina Nilsson's fust appearance iu New Yeik, and at the same hall tee, was but $3, and even that was ceusidcie 1 a little above the maik.
