"TMc Deaecrata Are Cetag.w "When Blaine was so disastrously beaten in the state election in Maine in September, 1880, the baffled leader sat down to think a bit. The situation was, indeed, a desperate one for himself and his party, and it was plain that only a desperate measure would meet the exi gencies of the case. Presently the twice-disappointed presidential aspirant was heard to exclaim : " I have it ! "We must scare the business men !" And the scheme was quickly and ener getically put Into execution, the Repub lican managers everywhere falling in with the idea and joining in the senseless cry that Democratic ascendency would ruin the industries of the country. There never was perpetrated) a more shameless and stupendous fraud. The leaders in the plot could scarcely re strain themselves while they raked in a vast amount of money from foolish busi ness men, and before Garfield was inaug urated the vice president-elect publicly rejoiced at the debauchery of a state where the conspirators were successful in their great object. But buml powder is never so harm less and useless as in politics. And so when the younger Cameron first, and a little later the elder chieftain of the im periled tribe of Donegal, rushed out of their wigwams shouting to the business men that they must come to tho rescue or submit to be ruined, the "business men" responded with an answering shout of derision, emphatically declaring the tariff spook to be a fraud of the first water. Beaver and Brosius have taken the.matter to the stump, only to be ridi culed and to note, as the result of their evasion of real issues and an attempt to mislead the people, an astonishing growth of Independent Republican sen timent in the sections visited by them; the enlistment for the war against the bosses of leading business men, and es pecially manufacturers, in every part of the state, while the people everywhere turn in disgust from such campaign twaddle to hear, discussed by the Demo cratic and Independent speakers and press, the vital questions of the hour, touching the abolition of the spoils sys tem and the political machines, and the inauguration of administrative reform in the state government. And now the disgusted and demoral ized Stalwart managers, growing more desperate every hour, have ordered a gen eral midnight alarm to be sounded sim ply that "the Democrats are coming." The people are to be made the victims of an indefined.fear that something terrible i3 about to happen unless they rally to the support of the lost cause of (Jaineron ism. The idea to be operated upon is that an army of Democrats, no better than the wickedest of the wicked, and under leaders having hoofs and horns, is about to sweep down upon and seize the state government and inaugurate a reign of commercial desolation and offic ial free booting. The unhappy ghost of the rebellion is to be onco more dragged from its always open grave and made to stalk about, in the rural districts, and the whole idiotic business is to be worked for what it is worth, especially in tlie back counties. And what a gigantic farce it it will be. The fate of the Cam eronian tariff spook will be as nothing to the greeting which this last and worst performance of the sinking bosses and their used-up machine will receive. As the Cameron ' stipes " marmli in An tlo political stage there will be a moving shout that will make them realize that the day of judgment has como in Ponn sjlvania. Friends of the boss persuasion, " the Democrats are coming." The people of this great commonwealth have taken your promises for the last time. You are now on the last round of misrule, extravagance and corruption. You have driven the machine rough-shod for these many years, regardless of political de cency and in defiance of the continued and now successfully rebellious pro test of the better element of your own party. The end is approaching. The long suffering people of the state are in revolt, and" the Democrats are coming" to bring back honest administration in government and pure political methods. "The Democrats are coming" to drive out forever bosses and bossism ; to smash the machine beyond repair. "The Democrats are coming " to give Penn sylvania once more her rightful place in the politics of the nation. Yes, " the Democrats are coming," and that is the matter with the machine. Attorney General Brewster appears in the canvass as the special eulogist of the Camerons. Tho task is a heavy one and none will dispute Mr. Brewster's bold ness in essaying it. There can be no question apparently in which there may not be two opinions ; if there could be there might reasonably be expected to be no difference of opinion as to the un fitness of Donald Cameron to be Penn sylvania's senator, or as to the right of Simon Cameron to claim the applause of Pennsylvania's people. There is no man in whom there is not some good ; and the Camerons have good mixed with their evil qualities. To be, however, a proper senator for Pennsylvania, much moro of good and less of evil is needed than either father or sou have ever displayed. The father is greatly tlia son's superior in sagacity, and is wise enough to have left a better record than he has made. It is not worth while, in the settled state of public opinion concerning the Camerons, to speak in particular denun ciation of thorn ; and it is as little worth while to raise a loud voice in their favor. Mr. Brewster can take nothing by his motion in their behalf, no did not always think as well of them, a.i ho seems to think now. Why, five years ago he was among thfcir bitter denouncer. We know not what has taken the scales from his eyes. They are still noon those of the people. In this election tii e family is believed generally to be on trial, though Mr. Brewster says that the result can neither hurt nor help them. They seem to think differently. Senator Cameron regards the fight as his own, and is spending his money freely in it.' Mr. Jirewsters appearance as his cham pion makes it all the more appear to be his battle. The verdict is not in doubt, and with it the senator goes down. The account which we print on our first page to Jay tells clearly enough the sentiment that exists among the Democ racy of the district through which Con troller Pattison has besun a triumphal tour. The sturdy yeomanry and labor ing men besieged the stations through which he passed, eager to a glimpse of the next governor and if might be to grasp his hand and assure him of their unfaltering devotion. We may he sure that the report which we print of the enthusiasm with which Mr. Pattison was everywhere received and of the favorable impression he created at all points along the line, are not exaggerated, for the ar ticle is written by a Republican member of the staff of the Philadelphia Press, who accompanies the party. With this renewed evidence of the Democratic candidate's popularity staring them in the face the boss managers can no long er hope to diguise the fact of tho exist ence of an overwhelming sentiment that points unerringly to their complete de struction. The trenchant sentences of Mr. Pat tison's Scranton speech strike the key note of the campaign. Reform in the state government is what the people want, and the overthrow of a corrupt oligarchy that lias so long throttled the commonwealth and refused the just de mands of the people is the only means by which such an event can bo accomplish ed. Pattison made music for the bosses in the coal regions yesterday. The gales of November will echo the strains with terrific force. It will be interesting to watch the returns from the places where the Democratic candidate is heard. "Camco Ciiakley" is catching it lively in Ohio. WnEN Pattison opeus bis mouth he usually says something. Read his Scran ton speech. Quay's boss strategy to capture 50,000 Irish votes doesn't seem to bo panning out exactly as he intended it should. Many of the friendly salutations that greeted Mr. Pattison in his run through Carbon and Lackawanna counties, where thero is a large Irish population, wore tinged with a "rich brogue" that betrayed its owner's nationality. A defeated party, according to the Philadelphia Keening JVers, is apt to take any leader who can savo it. and it asks the Auti-Uimeron liepublicaus to support I Beaver for the reason that if the latter is defeated, Cameron will he mado stronger. The machiavellian ingenuity of this reasoning shown the desperate straights to which tho Stalwa:ts arc now reduced. " A wise economy must bo enforced in the public expense. Profuse expenditure by government is not only buvdensomo in itself, but generates in officials a spirit of profligacy which permeates even private life. Extravagar.ce breeds extravagance Every useless expenditure creates an ex cuse, it it does not cause a necessity, for fuither waste." From Pattinon's, Common ircalth Club gpceet. Now that a sweopmg Democratic vic tory is assured for the state ticket, lot ovcry effort bo mado to compas? the election of the candidates for the Legisla ture. State as well as national Republican managers regard Beaver's cause as hope, less, and are bending their energies to save the state legislature. A just ap portionment is depandent on the failure of this latter scheme, and Democratic success in this particular means that Pennsylvania Democrats shall have what they have long been denied proper representation in ITarrisburg, as well as at Washington. MAKIMU A nol'FlGUT fOU COAUKKSS. Mr. J ad win to Hon as an Independent In the Fifteenth Pennsylvania District Against Cameron's Alan. The combat deepens in tho Fifteenth congressional district, and it looks very much as if Representative Jadwin would be an Independent candidate for Congress against ex-Congressman Overton, of Bradford. The nomination of Col. Over ton by the conference at Tunkhannock a few days ago has thrown the Republicans of Wayne county into a state of panic, and they openly declare that they win not, unaer any circumstances, support the nominee, as they allege tha Jadwiu's defeat was accomplished by treachery, falsehood, and bribery. Tho story is current in Wayne that the three conferees from Susquehanna county who went to Overton and effected his nomina tion were bought, but this was denied by the candidate and his friends, who claim that he was nominated because the Sus quehanna county people preferred him to Jadwin. It is also stated that an arrange ment was entered into between Searle, tho Susquehanna county candidate, and Over ton, of Bradford, by which the latter agreed to support the former next time in consideration of his friendship this year, and that the result of tho conference is due to this fact. However this mav hn. Jadwin is now in the held, having been nominated at a citizens' meeting held iu Honesdale. Ho will make a spirited canvass and his candidacy will seriously hurt the regular Republican state ticket, but ho says he need not worry about this, as the same elements that nominated Beaver were employed against him in tho con ference. Jadwin will carry tho war against Cameronisra right through his district, which comprises the counties of Wayne, Bradford, Susquehanna and Wyominir. and he can mako it liralv fnr me oosses. ms popularity was shown in the last election by the overwhelming vote which he received, running ahead of the presidential ticket in Wayno, and almost in every precicet iu mo district, rne rumor is now abroad that owing to his Independent proclivities Senator Cameron did not want him at Washington, and took ahaadiu se curing his defeat. If this bo true, it is a bail thing for Cameron. The old Wilmont fhstrict will contribute moro to Cameron's downfall than auyoMier ection of tho state, for tho reason that Cameron defeated Grow ui um uimcn amies senate a short time ago, and is constantly thwarting tlie will anu wisn oi me pcopio. Ho does not uu dcrstand the situation ; ho does not know the sturdy character of tho pcopio in that latitude ; but he will find out when the Klitical tornado strikes him in Novem-r. WASHING OUT S AUNDEES J UDQE JIBE BLACK RECITES A FABLE. The Corruption in the Republican Party Why It Cannot Purify Itseir and Survive tho Ordeal. Hon. Jeremiah S. Black was interviewed in Pittsburgh on the Independent move ment. When asked what was meant by the Republican uprising Mr. Black said : " It means washing out, Saunders." "I do not understand you at all," said his interlocutor. "Then," said tho judge, "I must tell you in a story. In the reign of Charles II. a dirty boy, who seemed to know nothing about himself except that he bad the name of Saunders, was taken from the gutters of Chancery lano, London, and set to keeping the door of au attorney's office. There be learned to read and write. Ho was made a clerk, and after wards being admitted to practice, he bo came one of the greatest special pleaders in England. Ho arose to be a sergeant, then solicitor general, and in process of time, attorney general, the official head of tho profession. AU this while ho 'stuck to tho habits of dirt aud dishonesty that ho had con tracted when a waif of the streets. Ho lived alone on Butcher's row, and was so filthy in his person that he broke out into running sores, smelling so badly that it was a martyrdom to sit near him m court. He did not pretend to have any morvl principles. Ho even boasted of his per sonal uncleanliucss, and told young barris ters that although ho never was married it was not a fact to bo denied that ho had issuo of his body. Nevertheless ho was tolerated and promoted by a cor rupt ministry, which needed such services as he alone could render: for ho had ability, wealth and impudence, a heart that feared noither God nor man, and a cheek that blushed at nothing. Altogether he was iu their eyes a very 'grand party.' At length, when they wanted an unscrupulous tool at tho bead of the judiciary to decide a most un righteous causo iu favor of the crown (Rex vs. the Corporation of London), they made Saunders chief justice of the king's bench. Then the decent men of tho law determined that they would stand him no longer unless his habits wero reformed. They washed him by main force, cleaned him up, com pelled him to wear the apparel of a gen tleman and to livo in a respectable part of the town. But cleanliness was fatal to him. Tho grand old party,' died of it in less than two months. And aow hero are Stewart and Wolfe and Marshall and Lear and Mitchell and McCIure and a hundred thousand other Republicans of honor aud sense, who declare that they havo endured as much as they can from tho grand old party.' They will not suffer tho martyrdom of sitting with its longer ; tho ruuniug issues of its body are too offensive to bo borne. They insist that it must be mado decontly olean and put on its good behavior. Therefore they are after it with soap, and rain water, and sponges and towels and a whole suit of good clothes, determined to wash it and dress it in spite of its cries and struggles. They do uot mean to kill it, but perhaps like Saunders, it cannot survive the loss of its filth. At nl! events its friends and guardians, and those who live by its bounty, protest violently that tho cruel Independents will bo tho death of it if they succeed in making it c!eau.'' SKVKN AUCMONS AT STAKE. Uearlug In a Law Suit or Tiventy-turee Years standing. Iu Milwaukee. Wis., hearing has began before Specinl Master Ryan, in one of the mest noteworthy and important cases iu tho history of railway litigation of the country. Twenty-three years ao Win. Barnes, of Albany, trustee for the bond holders under the third mortgsij-o of tho old Milwaukee & La Crosco railway company, now a part of tho Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway system, bogan suit for u foreclos ure. In one way and another tho rort ter has been kept in the courts till the sum now claimed by the plaintiffs amounted to tho enormous total of over $7,000,000. In April last tho United States circuit court granted an inter locutary decree, authorizing Special Mas ter Ryau to take testimony as to the ex istence and ownership of the old bonds and tho interest duo thereon. Tho hear ing began with a most brilliant array of of legal talent on each side. Tho case is now believed to bo near its culmination, so far as the United States circuit court is concerned. Some of the most eminent attorneys in America havo from timo to time been connected with the case, includ ing the late Chief Justico Ryan, of the supremo court of Wisconsin, tho late Matt H. Carpenter and a long array of others. Several of the present attorneys in this case have grown to bo oW, gray-haired men since tney began to draw papers and make pleas for the plaintiffs or the defend ants. In the present hearing au accounting will be asked of tho Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad company for tho whole term sinco tho company camo into possession of the Milwaukco and La Crosso road, and for all tho bonds, mortgagcs,ete.,created during that timo. Tho case is watched with tho ut most interest by tho leading lawyers of the countiy, not ouly because of tho enor mous atnouns involved, but because of the legal complications at issuo aud because the court has seen fit to divide tho plea, which is claimed to bo a radical departure from ordinary practico and precodent. m V. P. HALbKT'M CKUIE ANU TKIAI.. A Western Thoroughbred Who Shot ii Man Dead in Delaware, on the Kvo or tils Marriage. The trial of Collingswood P. Hallott for tho murder of James Deputy, has began in tho Sussex county court at Georgetown, Delaware. Thirteen witnesses for tho state wore called, and their evidenco proved very damaging for tho accused. Hal'ett has secured tho services of tho best criminal lawyers in that section of the state to conduct his case. The defense attempted is that tho accused acted in sslt-defenso. Hallott was neatly dressed, uuu tur bu mat inuu sinco tno Killing ap peared nervous and excited. Hallott is a yonng man who bad formerly resided in Mil ford, and two or three years ago went West aud seemincly accumulated consid erablo money. Ho returned to Milford last spring flashily dressed und pro claimed himself a "Western thorough bred" and assumed the air of a bully. Ho became enamored of a yonng girl residing in the town, who is 'spoken or rather slightingly and was to marry her. On the night before the marriage was to havo taken place Hallett and tho young girl 7" mn.iu ua a icnco ran oy tno road side at an unseemly hour. Deputy and a companion drove by, and by the moonlight ooscrvea mo young couple in their tryst mg place. He shouted something at Hal lett and the girl at which tho former took offense, and deliberately taking a pistol from his pocket shot Deputy through tho back, inflicting a fatal wound. When ar rested about $2,000 in money was found on his person. HUNDREDS DEAD AND DYING. Frlghttnl Ravages or Diphtheria In Virginia. The ravages of diphtheria in a section of Pittsylvania county, Va., is still fearful to think of, and i3 becoming moro and moro alarming every day. Theie .ir i!nrui. of cases of it, and is is estimated that two hundred have diod with it In two month's Nine out of every ten families in that sec tion have lost from one to fivo children Twenty-one deaths havo occurred in four differeat families. Four graveyards in one neighborhood have from eighteen to twenty new graves each in them. One sehool has lost twenty scholars. On Sun day last three were lying dead in one house. Most of those who die have the black vomit, and some are covered with running sores to the bone. The doctors are unable to account for its terrible fa tality, and some of think it is scarlet fever and diphtheria combined ; most of them ray they are unable to cure the worst cases. The system of thoso who recover are completely wrecked, and the patients are months getting over its effects. a THE REVOLUTION IN OHIO. Keller Trying to Find Out What Has Be come of ills Party. Gov. Foster is trying to explain the causes of his terrible defeat.The statesmen who feli under his mismanagement and blundering leadership are heaping im precations upon him from all parts of the state. Arabi Pasha was not treated worse by bis soldiers than Foster is being treated. His Secor Robeson man Kcifer, whose chances for succession to the speakership have been so sud denly blighted was tho first to hasten to Columbus to find out what had becomo of the Republican party. His interview with Foster is doscribed as highly sensa tional. Keifer's friends have believed from tho first that it was Foster who brought Gen. Bob Kennedy out as a can didate against him, and there is talk now of placing Koifor on tho track for tho Senate. It is much like Keifer's friends to do this. They have oven had the hardi hood to talk of Koifer as a presidential candidate, as an offset to Blaiuo iu Ohio. This talk at first seemed ludicrous, but it became evident that his friends were in earnest. To mauy Republicans tho Demo cratic victory loses somo of its bitterness when it is realized that Keifer's term as speaker is at last curtailed. In Hamilton county the defeated candi dates are equally sore over their defeat. There was probably never moro money put iuto a canvass in Hamilton county than in this ouo. Just how much monoy Butterworth spent will probably never bo known. Amor Smith, tho Republican candidate iu tho Second district, spent possibly less, but a larger per cent, of his own money. Ono of Butterworth's friends places the amount spout in his district at from $6,000 to $8,000. Smith probablyspent from $4,500 to $3,000. lho ouly llepubhcan congressman known to be elected are : Morey, Kcifer, Robinson. McCormick, Updegraff aud Taylor. The Democrats have elected Fol lot, Jordan, Murray, Lefevre, Seney, Hill, Hurd, Neal, Converse, Geddes. Warner, Wilkius, Wallace, Paigo aud Foran 13. Of these, Geddes, who is opposed by Horr ; Neal, who is opposed by Hart ; Wallace, who is McKinloy's opponent, aud Moroy (Republican) aro somewhat iu doubt, with all probabilities iu favor of tho Democrats. Returns received from fifty counties show a net Democratic gain of 33,209. Tho thirty-eight counties yet to be heard from will, it is estimated, increase tho Democratic majority to about 20,000. The Democratic gains in Cuyahoga, Franklin, Hamilton aud Montgomery counties will exceed Foster's majority of last year. The congressional delegation will likely stand 11 Democrats and 7 Republicans. Unofh cial returns elect Hart (Rop.) ovor Ncal (Dem.) by 13 votes, and Morey (Rep.) over Campbell (Dom.) by 42. The Domo orats claim that Wallaca is elected over McKinley hi' 41 votes. Stark county has not yet been heard from officially. A CASHIER'S STRUGGLE VOli Lll-'K. I Citizen of Lebanon Assailed and Robbed ot S30.000 in Bunk aotOB on the Public Street. a. roooery scarcely, it ever, equaled in the annals of crime iu the community was committed at Lebanon, Thursday eveniug. George D. Riso is a prominent citizen of that place, and cashier of the Lebanon dime savings bank, lie returned from Piiil adelphia Thursday eveniug ou tho 7:80 train with a sachel containing $30,000 in bank notes, which was to be used by tho differ ent mills in tho neighborhood which pay their operatives ou or about tho 13th of the month. After leaving the train Mr. Riso went to his house, which is about a square from tho depot, where he ato sup por. Ho then left homo with tho intention of taking the monoy to tho bank to put it in tho safe. A short distance from tho house, and at a point on tho street where shade trees overhang tho sidewalk, Mr. Riso was attacked by two robbers, who approached him from behind aud struck him on tho head with a " billy." Tho blow staggered him for an instant, but ho grappled with his assailants and kept a firm hold ou tho satchel. Finding himself overmatched, he called for help. Tho robbers, in tho mean time, struck blows fast aud furious upon his head and face, aud linally ho was throttled and knocked senseless to tho ground. Tho robbers then tore tho satchel from bis grasp and escaped. Mr. Riso re mained lyiug in tho street for somo timo in an unconscious condition. When ho regained consciousness he called for assist ance, and was taken to his homo, where bo was found to be severely but not fataily injured. Blood was streaming from a dozen wounds on his head, face, and neck. Iu a short time a general alarm was sounded by tho ringing of the court houso boll. Hundreds of citizens thronged tho streets and a posso was sent out on a hunt for the robbers. They had es caped by running through a vacant lot near tho scene of tho robbery. The affair, although occurring on a public street, was not witnessed by any one. Consequently tho robbers had no difficulty in ircttinir away. Mr. Riso describes his assailants, ono as a tall, slim man with a smooth faco, and tho other as a short, thick set man with a long sandy board. They wero both strangers, and had evidently followed tho victim from Philadelphia, whero they no doubt saw him receive the monoy. Mr. Riso offers a reward of $1,000 for their ar rest, or any information that will lead to their arrest. Tho millionaire, Coleman, it is said, offers a personal reward of $3,000. Information of tho robbery with a de scription of the men, has been telegraph ed in all directions, and it is supposed that their arrest will only be a question of timo. A WOMAN'S UEVOTIwN. niiirrjing with the Hrnspect or Soon ISecain ' Ing a Widow. Lieutenant George L.

About five months ago in a brush with the Apacher., Lieutenant Converse, who is tho sou of Congressman George L. Converse, of Ohio, was shot in the head and dangerously wounded. Tim iii lodged upon tho surface of tho brain de stroying one eye. An operation was per formed, removing the eye, but it was be lieved that an attempt to remove tho ball might result fatally. As another opera tion had to bo performed and some ap prehensions wore entertained as to tho result both Lieutenant Converse and his auuncoa determined that before it should be undertaken the marriago should bo solemnized.

Ho bas been at tho head of the order for nearly thirty years, which is au unusually long periou, since it is tuo rule tor only men well-advancod in years to bo advanced to the position. Congressman Lefevre speaking of his eccentric chirography says : " I ought to write better, that's a fact. Why some time ago i wrote to a man thanking him for a clipping cut from a newspaper about me, aud asking tho name and datn of tho paper ; and he replied : ' I am much obliged for your advice, and will follow it, believing that my claim will go through and I will at last get raypan sion.'

That beats bass fishing. You havo to play with tho fish and hour or two some times, and be careful not to allow him to escape or to break your rod." " Why," said Miss Thirteen-years-old, "a little girl up to Carlton caught a four pound bass ami uroko the polo right off I" " Ah," replied tho president, " when she gets older sho will soon learn to play a larger fish than that ou a light rod,and land him too."

BEEWSTER0N BOSSISM. t " HISDcFEKSE Or UOMALl CAMKKON. Mr. Arthar's Attorney General Makes a Speech for Bearer The Independents Denounced as Traitors. Benjamin Hairis Brewster, the attorney general of the United States, madu a speech in Fulton opera houso lost evening, m furtherance of the waning fortunes of Beaver and bis bosses. The houso was fairly filled, but by no means crowded, there being quite a number of unoccupied seats both in the parquet and iu the gal lery. In response to the invitation extend ed to the ladies to be present, some thirty or forty of the fair acx occupied scats in the parquet. The attorney general was escorted to the stage by U. S. Commissioner Slay maker, chairs were arranged on tho stage for the accommodation of a score or moro gentlemen, but nearly all of them were unoccupied, there being no others on the stage except ex-Mayor Atlee, ex-District Attorney Eshlcman and Wm. Leaman. Mr. Brewster was, introduced to the audience by ex-Mayor Atlee and was re- .ceived with applause. He commenced by stating that it was twenty-tivo years since he had appeared before a Lancaster audi ence. Ho was then a .ypung .man. Nearly all whom he then met are dead and gone, and many who are now present he never heard of ! It is rcmarkablo how time flics, how things spring urn advance aud tdceay;how boys become men; young men becomo old and die ! It is melancholy to reflect how rapidly timo passes ! The child who was boru on the day the battle of Bull Run was fought, will vote at the coming election. Iu reflecting over theso things when he sees apathy or want of zeal on tho part of young Republicans be says to himself, well, they aro young men; they know nothing about tho war and tho Republican party except what they havo read; it is to them only a matter of history j but" wo that are older feel aud appreciate it ; we wero in it and a part of it. Thero aro many young men in the ranks of tho Ro publican party who are indifferent and in sensible to the real condition of affaire to day. It is melancholy to think of the pos sibility of the power of the state and na tional governments passing into the hands of the Democratic party. He had no patience with men claiming to bo Republi cans, who say they will not vote the Re publican ticket, because it is a Cameron ticket, but that they will alio Wi the Demo crats to triumph this year and thus purify the party by tho overthrow of the bosses. Mr. Brewster said ho had mado no special preparation to speak ; be bad como here to perform a public duty, bo causo ho believed there was a necessity for all Republicans to be up and doing ; they cannot afford to bo apatbetio at this time ; "the party is in the greatest dancer.' not merely from the common enemy, the' Democrats, out Ironx- thoso who were formorly of us and with us, but who aro now iu open rebellion against uf." Mr. Brewster at somo length recounted the principles and the early history of tho old Democratic and Federal parties. The former, led by Jefferson, Madison and' men of that stamp, had an abiding faith" in the people j the latter, led by Hatnil- uuu, unuuwu iuu yuuyic, upjnjauu uni versal suffrage and wanted to keep po litical power iu the hands of tho wealthy and educated. Finally in 1812 they com mitted the deadly sin of refusing to stand by their country in its struggle with Great Britain, and their fate was scaled. The party died, as it deserved to die, and the Democratic party took possession of tho government and ruled tho country for many years, triumphantly and success fully. Opposition existed hero and thero, but it was a healthy opposition, and the Democratic party, ruled by wise leaders, absorbed the greater portion of tho Fcd oi al party. Mr. Brewster next attempted to show that the Democratic party, like the old Federal party, had committed the deadly sin of distrusting tho people, relusing to abide by the will of the majority, aad giv iug aid and comfort to the enemy during tho late civil war, and that thereupon the Republican party arose, took possession of tho government, saved the country and have governed it wisely ever since. Mr. Brewster's next poiut was that all great parties act through then: loaders busses, xs they aro now derisivoly called by somo. Tho mass ot tho people aie unfitted to rule. They have no aptitude nor inclination fur government They must have leaders men who aro fitted to lead by education aud force of charac ter. Tho Federalists had Hamilton, the Democrats Jefferson, and modern parties havo also their great leaders. There can bo no parties without leaders. Leaders act for their followers through the means of district, stato aud national conventions, anu tno result oi tno convention is tho expressed will of tho party, and they aro bound to obey it or the party dies. Tho acts of the so-called In dependents of to-day aro like thoso of tho' Southern Confedcrates-thoy refuse to obey tho will of tho majority. Poor men, did uot inaugurate the rebellion ; it was tho leaders who did it. When they saw the rapid growth of tho North and West, thoy feared slavery was iu danger ; they said this don't suit us ; we will soon cease to possess the power wo now hold ; wo will not yield to the will of tho majority ; we will take ( not John Stewart ) Jeff Davis to rule over us. They would bo Independents ; and this is the position the Independents occupy to-day. Mr. Brew ster said the great Republican party was the product of tho war ; wo aro here re joicing on what wo havo done ; wo saved the country and feel able to maintain it ; and hero with our splendid record, we find men iu our own ranks, not working men, but leaders and would-be leaders who have been rejected by the people, who aro now, liko the confederates, calling on the white trash to follow them, hue they will find thero is no whito trash in tho Republican party. After eulogizing General Beaver and' declaring him to b the choice of the Re publican party for governor, and fairly nominated, Mr. Brewster donied that he was Cameron's candidate, and declared that Cameron could not have defeated his nomination if ho desired to do so. If Cameron nominated Beaver be did a good thing. He exercised a wiso bossism, and proved himself a safe leader. How do men lead in this country ? By virtue of social position I By virtue of wealth? By virtue of political power ? No ; but by virtue of popular will. Who are you In dependents but a body of leaders who havo revolted beeauso wo would not lot yon rule us. It was a committee of bosses, not woikingmen, who nominated Stewart ; workingmen never play Independents ; it is tho soured, disappointed politician, tho would-bo bosses the Arabi Beys of poli tics, who organize revolts against regular nominations. Hamilton, Pickering, Wash ington, and others were tho bosses of tho Federal party ; Jefferson, Giles, Madison, Monroo were the Democratic bosses ; aud boss is the epithet that disappointed men now apply to a leader who has never done anything to wrong his party. Donald Cameron Senator Cameron loud ap plausoj sitting in the Senate of tho United States shall ho not be heard, shall he not bo consulted in matters affecting the in- tiM-oiif r nf t.hn Tinrt.v ',' T ln nnf tf-tn1 hum to speak for Cameron, but I would cheer- fully do so, if it were necessary. Ap plause.' Men doubted, when he first became senator, if ho was equal to tin: duties of the high office, lie is not a fas cinating speaker, but be is a well educa ted gentleman and good business man. Aided by his father, Gen. Simon Camer on, applause who was one of the first Republicans when it was ft reproach to bo a Republican, ho has obtained eminence ; he u no orator, but neither wero Jeffer son, Madison, Monroo nor Washington. Many, of our ablest statesmen are not ftaMt speakers. Sine Cameron bas been in the Senate he has acquired an enviable reputation ; ho has always stood by the party, always mnc it uis aid, anil never played tho put of an Independent. When he wan defeated be sabmittcd. He went to Cincinnati as' a' friend of Grant and was defeated. He "went to Chicago so did Beaver applause they stood by Grant : they believed the people owed him a debt they cani never; repay. Thoy wore defeated. Did they setup for Independents? Did not Cameron and Beaver obey the will of the majority and support Garfield l Had they rebelltU wonM Garfield havo been elected ? As they supported G.itliold let us now sup port Beaver. If tho spirit of Garfield could rise, it would rebuke the men who are now usinj; his name ti defeat Beaver under protons nr defeating Cameron. Cameron in tho Senate has con ducted himself usefully an,l modestly ; he is ndt now before the people ; when the time of his' re-election comes, u he bliuiikl bo a candidate, and should deserve rebuke, thou will be tho time to strike him, but do not now strike down Gen. Beaver merely bocauso Caino ron supports him. Mr. Brewster ;briefly referred to tho Ohio election, and suggested that the re sult would be a benefit to the Republican party." Ohio was a state without bosses, and tho result was defeat. This result ho thought would aid the party in Pennsyl vania by bringing' in the dbttbtirs and causing them to yield to wiso leaderships. Whether Beaver is elected or defeated tho Independents tun gain nothing. If he is elected it is Cameron's victory according to the Independents' own showing, and if be is defeated a Democrat will bo elected through tho revolt of tho Independents. while Camoron will go down with his flag uyiujr iiuu ue strunf criuaa ever iu tno future, whilej tho,' IaJepwonts will bo a mere faction ' Mr. Brewster next spoke of Gen. Simon Cameron, that wise old roan of whom all Pennsylvanians should feel proud. He denied that ho was tho author of the pres ent troubles, and akod :. tojwhom is the Republican party indebted if not to Simon Cameron ? When elected to the Senate by Whig aud Democratic votes.bo represented the 'people and stood firmly for protection. When tho South undertook to enfore sla very in tho territories, he was the first to declare for' foe suO: Wats the war broke out ho was tho first to declare in favor of arming thooolored men. By bis own force of character, and by yielding a willing obedience to tho public will, to the will of the majority, he worked himself up from the humbfe ''printer's' case to tho United States Senato, ami was tho recipi entof aiaay other distinguished honors. Applause. But I havo talked long enough cries of "go on, go on" ; no I won't , go on; I am tired and yon ,'are not. Mr. Brewster wound np by predicting that if tho Inde pendents weot.ou in their disorganizing course they would'meet with' the fate that 'overtook the rebels' ' at' Appomattox. x T2T TUB UAKNUai CIRCUS. A Large Crowd and a Fine Performance Notwithstanding the threatening ap pearance of the sky all day Thursday, and the heavy rain of tho pree'ediug night, the city was tilled with strangers, all agog with excitement at the prospect of a view of Baruum-'s etnas and 'te world l unowned Jumbo.

The Chinese dwarf, the Russian giant, a pair of curious looking little creatures designated as the "wild m -u of Borneo," and innumerable other hpecial fcatutes were constantly surrounded by aU eager crowd, whilst tho menagerie contained a vast array of rare specimens of the animal kingdom. The ring performance was one of the very best that has ever been seen here, among the special features being the trapezo act ing, tho bareback riding of Mme. Dock rill, Gaze! the humau caunou ball, aud Lulu who, projected from a' high elevation with ten die force went flying through tho air at marvelous speed aud lauded safely in a net. Tbero were a number of races at tho close of both afternoon and even ing perform inces which proved a novel and successful feature of tho show and worked the. audience upj tojUfeTbigticst pitch of r xvitcment. i .
