After many broken promises the Stal warts managers, ,sture4 the services upon the stump of a distinguished pub lic nan, and one who is exceptionally pitted as a platform speaker. It was supposed that Mr. Brewster only intend ed to speak once or twice in the interest of the broken and crumbling Cameron dynasty, but he appears to have " taken the road" for systematic work. And the further he goes the deeper he gets into the mire.; ,. ,, , Mr. Brewster Is in many respects one of the remarkable men of the times. Gifted with talents of the highest order, he has improved and enriched them by laborious study, exhaustive research and personal discipline, until he has become one of the most entertaining and power ful pleaders at the American bar, and one of the most attractive general public speakers in the country. He possesses, in the highest degree, that peculiar fas cination which captivates and uncon sciously influences the hearer, no matter what his prevkma views or sentimenis. Owing to a sad fatality of his childhood, it has been his life's study to master the art of controlling men's minds through subtle appeals to their friendship and sympathy. He has learned to play upon tiie human heart with the skill of a ma gicim. His personal and professional I.Hiorv is fuH of wonderful incidents ol tlii.-ikti.tl. .Strangers seldom meet him in social converse without becoming willing captives, and he never speaks in public without winning the cordial ad miration of his hearers. Mr. Brewster is one whom to meet is to be charmed and whom to hear in public is to be de lighted. Young men especially are drawn to him and influenced by him. Like other men he has his foibles and weaknesses ; his personal vanity is ex treme ; bis love of admiration is intense; his temper is hasty and his language, under provocation, ofteu rash, but, take him all in all, he is a man of exceptional gifts, rare culture and genuine power, one of those, Indeed, who should con stantly rest under an almost burdensome sense of their responsibility as exemplars and teacher?. But as a citizen and public man how has Mr. Brewster met the high obliga tion resting upon him ? The answer is a record which those who bear his name after lie is gone will read with humilia t km and condemnation. It will be se verelv and justly said that of all public men of bis time be should have been the last to trample upon his professed prin ciples, disregard his own convictions, sacrifice his manhood and blight In's career bv betraying the cause of political reform and hon est government in lending him self and his influence, and prostituting tils high talents toaidintheperpelua tiou of a corrupt personal domination which be has himself calmly character ized in burning words of fiercest denun ciation. It will be a spectacle over which biographers and student ad mircrs will sadly and wonderingly linger. In joining at this late day the lost cause of Cameronism, Mr. Brewster cannot justifiably plead that he is simply iifiinf' within professional limits. lie would not, indeed, dare do this and would hotly resent the charge tiiathe wan a hireling of the machine ; that he was receiving the wages of political de bauchery and civil service roWiery in return for the service he is now perform ing before the astonished people of Penn sylvania. He boldy chums to be acting as a patriotic and self sacrificing citizen, earnestly desirous of promoting the iu terest and welfare of his party and the nation. He appeals to the patriotism of his hearers and exhorts tiiem, with aU the argument and eloquence at his com mand, to endorse and sustain a personal rule of which he said in 1877, in an interview printed in the Philadelphia Times : " Iast winter onr people were shocked with the election of J. lonald Cameron, the Irre sponsible ttonotasenatorot whom I will not 8ulc. because lie and his acta havo become a uiirt ot nubile history and must be measured with more deliberation than can be given iu a CH.111U1 conversation iiko wis a son mat wis neither mind, attainment, dignity of charac ter, knowledge of public affalr.'.party services nor personal worcu 10 warrant ins auvunec uient, and who lias no record but a bad one as an intrlKiier and manaarer of bad men, Me was first torcod Into the war department a the price of his offer to betray his lata una renominate (jeneral Grant, anil at Ur b 'injf there he was so base born in his notions ot decency and iron tlahood as to solicit and urge, by all tbomean arts or political contri vance, that be should be retained as the com panion ot cabinet officers and gentleman who Ud not want him. failing- in that, by the coarse bruto force of organized power he jostled bis old fattier outof bis place and thrust himself Into a Senate where be will be an ob ject or derblon and disgust. The public are lek of these odious men, and the public will lo away with them. Wo have destroyed human Ixjiiilage iu thu South ; we will next break town political bondage in the North and South." There never was an issue clearer than than that now before the people of this utate. It is a battle of the people against tlieir would-be masters. It is a gigantic and determined struggle to break the fetters of the political bondage of which Mr. Brewster has so truthfully and for cibly spoken. Fully one-half tbe Repub lican party itself Js united in revolt against the continuance in power of tbe " odious men " referred to. Why, then, does Mr. Brewster debase himself and disgrace tbe high position he holds as attorney general of the United States by deserting the cause he has heretofore es poused and by endeavoring to stay the revolution he helped to start ? If he is bis own master why does he not eageily join in the effort to crush the machine, of which he has so bitterly complained ? If he had been true to himself he would long ere this have enlisted for the war against Cameronistn and bossism, and all that the same implies. As it is, he is making a strange exhibition of insta bility, inconsistency, and perhaps even venality. If he had not been made at t irney general, with the advice and con sent of Senator Cameron, he would hard ly today be making himself an object of criticism in contending for a new lease of Dower for that baffled and fall ing leader. He seems to-day to be work ing out the ruinous obligation be has incurred, nad he refused to comply with the demand for his services. Stal wart vengeance might have been visited upon him, as once before when attorney general of Pennsylvania. But he could cabinet I have retired from the Arthur in self-respect and amid the applause of his countrymen, while to-day he rattles the chains of his bondage in the faces of his fellow citizeus, whom he cannot per suade that he is the champion of an hon est cause or of honest men, or that he took a manly part when he did not reply to the demand for his services. " Is thy servant a dog that ho should do this thina?" Sot Oar Funeral. The Democratic convention in Phil adelphia, whose duty it was to nominate a candidate for register in place of the candidate previously named who had declined, has " endorsed " the nomina tion of Rex, a Republican, nominated by the Republican Committee of One Hundred. The rules of 'the party in the city, it seems, forbid the nomination of anyone not a Democrat; Mr. Rex, therefore, was not eligible to nomination, but Chairman Carrigan got over this difficulty by deciding that there was nothing in the way of his "endorse ment." Apparently Chairman Carri- gan's distinction is one without a differ ence. The only thing the convention could do, in strict compliance with its rules, was to adjourn if it did not wish to nomi nate and leave the Democratic voters to their own judgment in casting their ballots. This is in fact what it has done. Its endorsement is not binding on any Democratic voter, but probably it will' be as effective in securing the Dem ocratic vote to Mr. Rex, as though, it was a legitimately made command of the party. Mr. Rex is said to be a very fit man, for- the place, and if the .Phila delphia Democrats choose to have a Re publican register no one iu the party outside the city need complain. It is a local office and their voles for it are en tirely at the disposition of the Philadel phia Democrats. What induced them to surrender it to a Republican we do not know. It seems to have been an tin -necessary act of generosity. The Committee of One Hundred, whose favor the Democrats seem to de sire to conciliate, has refused to accept the Democratic candidate for sheriff, although he is believed to be not sub ject to any fair objection. After an the Philadelphia Democrats might very well have let the committee's candidates work out their own salvation. But it is their funeral, not ours. Mn. John Kelly, leader of the Tam many Hall Democracy of New York city, vindicates the good opinion we have had of his judgment and party devotion by surrendering to rival Democratic or ganizations in the city the rich offices which are ever a bone of contention there, ne shows himself ready to sacri fice soJfish interests for the party good. The personal attacks upon Mr. Black are too much even for the Hamsburg Telegraph's strong stomach. " The raiu couldn't keep 'eiu away" yesterday, and they stood under dripping umbiellas to catch a glimpse of the ncx governor as he sped up the North Brauoh yestctdu Mr. Aumstkoso say people will be sui priscd on tbe morning after eleetioc to see the vote he has polled. Piobably none of them will be half as much surprised as Armstrong himself. Tue sopbomores at Lafayette college have been hazing the freshmen with a banquet. This is a novel way of doing it, bat may provo very effective, if the cooks an sufficiently skillful. A class of fresh men athict&d with dyspepsia, might pro. sent a mora sorry siglt fhan if decorated with p!aster aud bandage a iigK3 lf an 1 oM-&?bioncd hazing. Tun value of a aiflgle vote could not ba more effectively illustrated that iu tho official returns from tho Third eangress ional district of Ohio, which elect Noal, the Democratic candidate, by throe votes ontof a total of many thousands. In another district a Republican candidate is reported to bavo " saved his bacon " by the slender Margin of eight votes. These figures are full of meaning aud should cause the individual voter to f.lce a higher valuation upou his suffrage than he rdi narily does. It is hard for thinking men to believe that Armstrong and the other Greenback Labor leaders are honest iu their conduct of the present political campaign. Tbey must see the absolute helplessness of their cause, for Armstrong's election Is about as probable as the paceg pf a camel through the eye of a needle. If they are really sincere iu their convictions, why do they not concentrate on legislative candidates, whom there is a chance to elect, instead of frittering away on an im possible gubernatorial candidate yotes which might be of priceless value iu the impeodtagr struggle for reform ? The people or the United States drink 16,000,000 barrels of beer per annum ; yet a leading New York brewer declares that " the consumption of beer iu this country is in its infancy." That is, assuming that there are 24,000,000 women and children who never drink beer, 4,000,000 teetotalers who never drink anytuiug bat water, and 8,000,000 deacons and farmers who drink old Medford rum, then tbe remaining 1(1,- 000,000 must drink a barrel of beer apiece in the oonrse of the year ; and if the New York brewer's prediction is to prove true, there will be by the lose of the century at least 50,000,000 beer drinkers, and each one of them will consume annually about 20 barrels of beer. Nothing in the politieal history of the state has surpassed the flattering ovations that have erected Controller Pattisonat all points of his line of travel. Last week started the ball rolling, and the people of the oil region are keeping it up with sur prising vigor. Tbe graphic recital which we print to day of Mr. Pattison's waim welcome up along the North Branch and in the petroleum fields tells its own story. The pople are awake and with but a few hours' uotieo they flock by scores and hundreds to railway stations, to grasp the band of the Democratic candidate and ponder tho woids of wisdom that fall from them, lhe Stalwart organs who for 1 weeks kept ""Rioi: the Democratic candi- . v nr nincaii nnir v,Tfir,ui,i v wfimi they hadn't said so much about it. Wher ever he goes he gains "friends. That dramatic criticism in New York city is to a considerable extent a mer chantable commodity is no secret to the initiated, but the fact is one which' has not beeu made generally public. Some revelations have iust been made iu the Presoott libel suit, however, which are giving the thing away. From the testi mony given by the plaintiff in a case that is somewhat malodorous to ordinarily de oent nostrils, it appears that Miss Pres oott, an actress, was able to command the adulatory services of a New York dramat ic critic of some prominence at the very moderate rate of five dollars a week. If this is a fair example of the tariff, there is no reason why every actor or actress should not have all the assistance desirable from a favorable Now York notice. Tho fact that this particular critic seems to have been sadly smitten with the fair actress charms may serve in a measure to explain the cutting of the rates against which his fellows of the guild are likely to cry out in hot indignation. PERSONAL. Mn. Arthur ran over from New York to Princeton yesterday and placed his son in the sophomore class at the college. Representative Butterworth, of Ohio, is going to Indiana to make Re publican speeches. This is encouraging to the Democrats. Mits. Crittenden, wife of Governor Critteuden, of Missouri, was robbed of $1,000 in a sleeping car in Colorado re cently. Ex-Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is still a bold speculator on the Pacific coast.

Decency In Pontics. fturi-lsUoi-g Telegraph, SUlwart Hep. . It is the right of the public to know all about tho competency and hpnesty of every man who aspires to a public trust, anil tp canvass well bis especial quahucations for the particular office for which he is named; but this should not, in decency, descend to slander and abuse of au honorable gentleman' private character. A cam paign of merely" pcjraQaaJ abuso should not be descended to by loading news papers of either party, because by doing so it puts it out of tho question to induce high-minded, sensitive men to al low their uapjJV to be jjscd as candidates, for fear tho flooqgfe; of grp,ifnds? abuse and personalities may ho opened frpon them. In this light the Telegraph regrets tho unca!.'?d-for attacks recently made, by responsible correspondents of some of tho papers of fbp sjate, on Mr. C'hauncey F. Black, the iiewfiatk candidate for lieutenant governor. While 9 Telegraph will use all possible moans to prevent the election of Mr. Black that a journal conducted on honorablo, high-toned principles can, 'ft yill do so beoaiise Mr. Black and lus colleagues atp Democrats, and the Telegraph' sincerely believes that tfrp interests of the great state of Penusyivamufluti ii& b in trusted to Democratic official. fo sonal abuse of candidate is not ar- fumont, based ou principle, and to win a i& .campaign likothebne now going on, it sbxwd be jn on principles, and these principles simulate jjjp supremacy of Re publicanism as enunciated oy tiip Repub lican party. Personal abuse of candidates should not take precedence of tbo princi ples. Uvea lxst Throaci Kbipldlfy. It is likely that the three unkuovu persons who wore drowned on Sunday afternoon at Chicago, are tho husband aud two akikiten .of Mrs. Amelia Hansen.

Tbe Ex-Speaker'a ward Aroused to a nigh Pltcb at Kxcltement. Mr. Randall's StroDg Speecb for Pattlaon. Tho Fourth ward Democrats, at their meeting at Tenth and South streets, Phil adelphiaIonday night, gave ex-Speaker Randall a warm reception. When he entered tbo hall Chairman Hensei, of the Democratic state committee, was in tho midst of au eloquent peroration, but the moment Randall was discovered making his way toward tbo stage such a shout went up as to cause the voice of the speaker to be completely drowned. Mr. Hensei sat down, and tho enthusiastic crowd fairly lifted tho ex-speaker on its shoulders and passed him up on the stage. It was some moments before silence was restored sufficiently to enable Mr. Hensei to proceed with his eloquent speech. The meeting had been organized by the election of Henry R. Coulomb as chair man, and a long list of vice presidents aud secretaries. Mr. Heusel presented a strong arraign ment of the Republican party for its ex travagance in the management of national and state affairs. He said that the turkeys now fattening were for a Democratic thankgiving, and that the Republicans would eat crow after November 8. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Randall was introduced by the chairman as tbe next speaker of the House of Rep resentatives and the next president -of tbe United States. He was received with another storm of applause. His speech was mainly directed to the Democrats of tho Fourth ward, encouraging them to renew their efforts to got out their vote, and assuring tbem of a Democratic vic tory in November. Ho said that he had recoived advices a few hours since from Indiana which satisfied him that that state would give 20,000 Democrat io majority. His speech was an earnest one, and was interrupted almost every moment by his enthusiastic audience. Mr. Randall told the people not to let tbo victory in Ohio lead them to suppose that they could wiu without work. " Thoy say, as a last resort," ho continued, in spoaking of the tactics of the Republican party. " that they are going to buy tho Irish. I know something about tbe Irish. They have been trying to buy them for the last twenty years and have not been ablo to get any of them yet. I know that the Irish Democratic voto is tho last vote that can bo bought." Speaking of tha labor quostion, the speaker said : " If there is to bo any favoritism iu legislation I want labpr to havo it. Laborers must have a duo share of tbo profits which their labor produces. We therefore insist that wo are the friends of tho laboring man, while .. -,t !. .:. f .nnitollafu WU UiD UUtl UiU UUOUlWil VI lJIUfiltOI0 He said that Pattison " will como to Philadelphia with 00,000 or 70,000 major ity over Beaver.' ' Whilo Mr. Randall was speaking S. Davis Page, John L. Grim, Senator Ken nedy and Charles F.Isomingerenteied the hall and were received with applause. Each of these gentlemen delivered oarnest and eloquent addresses. 1IEL.U5 MACKKNZIK'S SOLO. How Cockrell Wrote Cousin Hebe's Song m "l'lnafore." Most people who have admired tho little song of Hebe in tho last act of "Pinafore " do not know it is not a part of tho opera as yrjtten by Gilbert and Sullivan. It was composed anu tlyi mijsip arranged for Bollo Mackenzie by John Coakrcli,' iloiit Louis editor who on Friday last shot add killed Colonel Slayback iu tho Post-Dispatch office, St. Louis. Boile Mackenzie made tho pait of Hebe famous when she gaye tho new song for the first time at tho South 'Broad trcet ibcatro in Philadelphia during tho great " fcihafdro ': c,?a;o of 1877.

I never accused Pattison and his friend of nst supporting me, but on the contrary, knew they were loyal friends.

A Small Andlenca Greet Uanlaon aud Arm strong at the Conrt House Denounc ing Corporate Monopoly. Between 400 aud 500 people assembled in the court house last evening to listen to an exposition of the principles of tbe Na tional Greenback-Labor party. Tbe fact that Tboma3 A. Armstrong, tho head of the Greenback-Labor ticket, was to ad dress the meeting, and the notoriety which this movemeut has acquired since tho exposuro iu Luzerne county, were sufficient to attract the curious, and quite a fair audience were gathered together when the first speaker of tho evening, Hon. Charles Harrison, of Baltimore, was introduced after a five-minute speech by R. J. Houston. Mr. Harrison said that the records of all the great parties had been examined and entire satisfaction had been found in none of them. It was for this reason that organized labor determined to adopt a platform and principles of its own. He thought in any event the outcome of this election would be a good governor, for personally ho believed all tho candidates wero good men. After reading tho plat form of his party and extolling its merits, be spoke of the right of labor peacefully to assemble in 'defense of thoir political liberties, a right which bad been denied them by the monopolists of the land. Op position to monopoly is not a destructive principle, it is a fight for existence. If we do not oppose their encroachments thoy will destroy us. He then proceeded to ex plain the difference betweeu a monopoly and a corporation, sayimr that the latter was n legitimate organization, while the former was given exclusive rights by law to practice extortion on tbo people. Ho declared that tho national bank system controlling all the movable capital of tho country was tho boss monopoly ; that 0,000 men composing the national hankers association might at their optio.i brim; universal chaos on the country. Ho as serted that the Democratio party had suffered dofeat because it ignored tho great principles of Jefferson aud Jackson, and that tho Republican party would fall for tho same reason. Ho claimed that it was not fair that national banks, having in tho aggregate only $400,000,000 or $500,000,000 of United States bonds,shonld control the $1,000,000, 000 iu bonds possessed by othor holders. Competition iu our banking system will givo the same advantage as results from competition in trade. Ho wished to know why wo hid not used our surplus capital to piy off our bonded in debtedness instead of refunding tho debt at a lower rate of interest. Ths gold and silver currency was compared to the certi ficate issued by tho government to the det riment of the former. He closed with an exhortation to all present to stand by the ticket, and predicted that when tho votes were counted, their number would surprise the thoughtless who aro crying down this movement. Tho termination of his remarks were greeted with applause, after which Cnair man Houston intrcduced the next speaker, Thomas A. Armstrong. The candidate of the Greenback Labor candidate began by stating that when he accepted tbo nomination last May, ho promised to bear the party's standaid through all the counties of the state, and Lancaster was the fortieth county ho had thus far visited. Ho said that they had been having great meetings, which, how ever, yere unno,ti(,e.u "o tljo luefrqpqliUf'u newspapers. An effort had been made, he continued, to throw discredit upon their actions, on the ground that they were working iu the iutcrcst of ono or other of tho great parties. Ho distinctly repudia ted ail such accusations, aud c'aimed that his part wa.-j the ouly paitycf tup pcqpla. lie alluded frt 'tho lato eiposuro in 'llii zerne county, claiming that the alleged revelation was made by a mail whom a cornipt" senator had purchased for the nurpose. I This was too much for a num .cr'of iieoiilo, vho beliece that campaigu orators sbonld "afihe'i-6 q pii tjtlthyqmf they quietly quit tbo room, j The Demo cratic party.which tho speaker termed the assistant Republican party, was accused of being in league with tho Republican or monarchical paity to bring about a perpet ual leaso of povkcr for tbe ltt$r. Tlje na tionalbank system Wan also6e'verejyiHC0icd, and the speaker said that the Republicans were already crying for the abolition of in ternal revenue in tho interest of tho na tional banking system. He tried, with ifttlo pucccss, to play upon thd ffara of th'a audience by the prediction that we would .soon haye a king, lords and commons) hs a a monaicliy. Ito terminated his rp ma'rks by claiming that the" National drcenhack-Labor parfy'as (he qnly one that really liad the interests ot tho work ing classes at heart. It was about a quarter past ten when the meeting was adjourned by Chairman Houston, who also informed tho anxious audience whoro Greenback Labor tickets might be obtained. lAWL.INSVlLf,F.
