The Republicans of Philadelphia did yesterday for the Democrats of the city wid indirectly for their party in the en tire state what the latter likely could net or would net have done for themselves. Thrce years age the De mocracy, aided by a portion of the bet ter element of Republicans, elected Samuel Q. Klug, a Democrat, mayor, and Jehn Hunter, a Republican, tax receiver, en an Issue of the non-partisan administration of municipal efflces. They have been faithful te the pledges upon which they were elected, and for Bome time eventa have pointed no plainly te their reelection that, the jnoreastuto Republican politicians have recently sought te head off the Demo crats by making Jehn Hunter thulr own nomlnce for the ellice which he new holds. They felt se confident of sue ceedirg in this scheme that the Demo crats had well nigh despaired of a suc cessful cotnbiunlleu en a city ticket in Philadelphia this year. In the nominating convention Win. 1). Smith was nominated for mayor, the position which he has sought with such persistency for four months that his methods alone discredit his fitness for the place He was elected te common council, ever ene of the Dobiens, carpet manufacturers, and became president of the chamber, by the help of the Democratic vote, and as a reformer, but when the desire te be mayor seized him and he chased the nomination up and down the alleys, through the slums and Baloens of the city, he lest the character he had held and the respect of Deme crats and the confidence of the Republl cans who had supported him for coun cils. Ner had he become, by his double dealing, any mere popular with that element of his party which he had formerly antagonized, though its active and practical politicians, after vainly trying te bring out a stronger man te beat him, recognized that his violent and aggressive self assertion had wen for him se many delegates that his nomination was seemed and they ac quiesced in it. His election, however, was only pos sible in the event of Jehn Hunter's nomination with himself en the ticket ; he recognized this and favored it ; se did the leaders of the party. Hut, mean while, Pierle ami Alcorn, candidates for Hunter's, place, had employed the same means that made Smith successful, and came into the convention yesterday with a strength between themsuperiorte Hunter's and when it became necessary te uuite te defeat him, under the direc tion of the Cameren Quay Lane leaders in Philadelphia, it was promptly deue. The Republican city ticket was completed by the selection of Chas. P. Warwick, a young lawyer and politician, of no great professional experience or standing, for the ellice of city solicitor. The result is that the whole political situation in Philadelphia Is changed, and the chances of Democratic success there and In the state are correspondingly im proved. The ticket contemplated te beat that named juateiday Is King for mayor, Jehn Hunter for receiver of taxes and Furmau Sheppnrd for city solicitor. It Is ene which will net only unite many ele mentsef strength, organize Democrats for victory, but reflect credit upon the party by Us elation, representing, .13 it will, the issue of non partisan municipal management In contrast with the violent und narrow partisan plan which the Re publican nominee? propose. The Lener's view of the Republican conventions is that they lest no chance te blunder ; the l'ren had already de clared that " the defeat of Mr. Hunter would under the circuuistancis be a step SJ suicidal that no convention and no party would veiituie upon it unless the had utterly lest their head ;'' the Tinu takes the same view of it ; the Xnrth dmericmi, with which Mr. Piene is con uected, thinks It tee eaily te prophesy; the Hecerd cbtiinatea that the ticket represents " the young and mete active bleed of. the organization, and may mean the regeneration of the Repubheau party III tills city under newer and younger leaders." In view of the large patrenage attach ing te the nmjeinlty uilice nnd the unscrupulous use of it made in the p.ist by Republican majors, the cieotieu In Philadelphia will bear largely en the political conditions of the entire state; but of mere importance than this is the Issue made between the pui.ciplea for which the two tickets in Philadelphia will stand this jear. It is clear, well defined ami unmistakable ; and the Democrats, the Committee of One Hundied aud the reform Republicans will be un'.ted en the right side of It. lie Can't he Spared. A very icmarkablu repot t has been made by our whilem friend and fellow citizen, Mr. Hrewster C.imerou,"generul agent of the department of justice " of the federal government, and only second te its distinguished head in the gorgeous ueasef lils ellicial atti.-e and the magultl conceet all his appointments. His de tailed account of his operations shows a terrible state of corruption and laxity in this department, in the grades of Its ser vice below his own, aud he particularly pelnta out that the examiners working under hlui luive disallowed "claims" of officials te six timca the amount of their compciisittleii.lils conclusion upon which is that if the number nnd pay of these examiners were increased the savings might be still greater. Aa la painfully conspicuous, there la a laelt ofdellulteuess about Mr. Cameren's recitals, and it would add greaUy te their interest if the names were given, for instance, of "the late u. 8. marshal" who returned $33 203.00 carnlnsrs in nine years, when "liia fees earned durlug this period in civil cases, aa appears from the doeketa of the United States circuit and district courts, nmnuut te S180.001.B5, leaving a balauce of $163,767.60 te be accounted for," r of that " clerk of n district court " who "had net for years entered a recerd in UU ofHce, although allowed dork hire aud paid for the entries, aud was also a defaulter te the registry of the court in ever $30,000." It is, indeed, a system of marvelleus rotlenncs3 that calls for the appointment of seven ex amlncrs at an expense of $50,0oe a year, solely for the purpose of investigating and checking the rascalities and Imposi tions practised upon the department of justice by Rs own appointees. It would. manifestly, be cheaper te turn the ras cals out. It is melancholy te observe, however, that in the full blossom of his usefulness nnd after the signal services narrated in this report, Mr. HrewsiHr Cameren should insist upon se suddenly and rudely tearing himself loose from the richly upholstered department of justice which heeruament3, and threaten te be take himself te the cow boy associations of Tucson, Arizona, in some remoter relation te the department of Hrewster. Tl'ere are signs that his presence and testimony will be useful te the commit tee of Congress, headed by the energetic Springer, which Is nbeut te investigate the expenses of the department of which Mr. Cameren has recently been se large a part. The reports of payments te special counsel of such enormous sums as $10,000 and $2.5 000 per year and various ether expend iture-t tun nlng down te liberal all a nees for " personal expenses " te lawyers and " drinks," " theatre tickets,"" " bar " and " saloon " for detectives, premise rich developments for an anxious public. Before a committee investigating them a gentleman with Mr. Hrewster Cam Cam eeon's genius for mathematics and who bears two such historic names as his, will be a picturesque figure. Hy all means he must be induced te postpone his journey West. lr leeks as though Wharten Utrker would have te write and possibly te deliver the speech which he has prom iscd win ue made in t eugress tins win ter in behalf of Ins bill te divide among the states, half en the bisis of pipula tleu aud half in the proportion of illiter acy, the surplus revenues raised by tax ation of the people. Ne member has been teund te father such a preposition ; it has only been introduced into thu Heuse "by request." Such a stupendous job of centralizing power, it is a relief te note, is net countenanced by anybody elected te legislate in federal affairs ; but as Mr. Wharten Rirker is ticketed ter tlie next Kepublican national con veutlen It may ba safely prophesied that he and his surplus division scheme will b? there, and It will be a geed deal of a job te keep them from slipping the muz zle.
