THE COMING ELECTIONS.
One week from to-morrow important elec
tions will be held in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, and Iowa, and nearly one -fourth of
the next Congress will be chosen, and the
Legislatures elected in Ohio and Indiana will
choose United States Senators to succeed
Sherman and Morton, two of the ablest of
Republican statesmen. Iowa will, of course,
vote largely Republican, and elect a solid
llepublican delegation to Congress. Indiana
is more than doubtful, and we apprehend that
cot less than two llepublican Congressmen
will be lost. The State gave but one thou
sand llepublican majority for Governor in
1808, with the strong tide then sweeping over
the country in favor of Grant, and since
then internal dissensions have paralyzed
the party seriously, and made Vice
President Colfax peremptorily decline the
race for 1872. In Ohio the Republicans will
doubtless carry the State, although they were
reduced to 8000 on Governor last year, and
we are confident that the Legislature will be
Republican. Several of the ablest Republi
cans in the delegation, however, are in dan
ger, including both Schenck and Bingham,
and on the whole not less than four districts
now represented by Republicans are doubtful.
In Pennsylvania the contest has been
wholly without animation on both sides. A
few meetings have been attempted, but they
have been failures, alike in numbers and en
thusiasm, as compared with the demonstra
tions of 18GG and 'G8. We doubt whether
there is anything like thorough organization
on either side, and the State will go hap
hazard, as the generally indifferent voters
may happen to decide it. As the Republicans
carried every debatable Congressional district
in 18G8, it is to be expected that they must
lose several members, and if the dissatisfac
tion manifested in this city prevails through
out the State, the loss may embraoe as many
as five districts. The Legislature, under the
present apportionment, can scarcely fail to be
Republican.
It is evident, from the loose political action
in e very section of the State, that there will
be an uncommon amount of independent
Toting this year. Party nominations have
been growing from bad to worse until there
is profound disgust amongst the people for
the partisan jugglery that now confessedly
controls primary political action. Many
thousands who have heretofore yielded to
party discipline because of the grave issues
involved, will this year strike from their tick
ets all names known to be unworthy, and
thus make their demand for better men in
such an imperative manner that riotous con
ventions and professional political bullies and
dependants will be compelled to give way to
the preferences of the people.
No citizen of either party should for a
moment hesitate to strike from his ticket the
name of a corrupt or incompetent candidate,
and if (he better class of Republicans and
Democrats will now faithfully discharge this
duty, our jobbing legislators and "rings" of
all kitds will cease to disgrace our city and
State. .
REGIS1ER OF WILLS.
'Akiiiokv A. Laws Is the Democratic candi
date for Register of Wills. It is Important
that the people should know who these men are. No
citizen ahould deposit his ballot in the box on the
second tuesday of this month wiihont such infor
mation as will enable him to support the best men
for ail posts to be tilled. Those who vote blindly,
vote daugerously. They may inntct deadly stabs
upon the best interests of the country and its Insti
tutions. In all local matters, when persons are to
be chosen to administer the functions of the several
offices, all citizens are bound to look at th chaw;.
ieis of the aspirants. No man is entitled to public
upport who has a cted In such a manner as to out
rage public decorum or violate either the letter or
i pirit of the laws. If a person has been entrusted
with representative duties and used the power con
fided to him for seltish nd corrupt purposes, he
should not be again trusted by the people. Honest
Itents are needed, and they can be obtained if voters
will examine the character of the nominees a well
as their tickets before they vote."
Thus far we quote from the Age of this
morning, with our cordial endorsement; but
we regret that we cannot coincide with the
opinions expressed by our contemporary with
regard to the character of the Democratic
candidate for Register of Wills and his fitness
for that important and responsible office.
Anthony A. Laws is the representative of
the ruffianly element of the Democracy, and
he was nominated for the purpose of conci
liating that element by bestowing upon one
of its number one of the richest offices
to be filled at the coming elec.
tion. At the last election Anthony A.
Laws figured as a repeater and shoulder
hitter in the First and Second wards, and he
he is well known as a leader of the gang of
rtugha that infest the lower section of the
ity. For any party to put up such a charac
ter for an office like that of Register of Wills,
that especially requires intelligence and in
tegrity ia an outrage that the independent
voters of the city ought to rebuke without
hesitation and without regard to party predi
lections. That we do not speak at random in
this matter, we call attention to the following
bit of evidence given in the Diamond-Watt
Contest:
'It. C. Tittermary sworn I live In the Fifth divl.
aion, 8t coiid ward ; have lived there all my life ; was
iHiut i! f polls on the day of the last election ; lam
wo-J acquainted with all tliu people in tu e neighbor
hood of where I live ; I saw a party of stranirirs
irolPi from poll to poll In the ward thst day; they
wi re BcoMnpank'J by a man by the name of Mo
Oonlule, another by the name of Mdirath. and
Anthony Laws; none of those parties lived in the
ward, except the leaders."
It is perfectly useless for decent citizens to
complain of bad management and rasoality in
the public offices when they are willing to go
to the polls and vote for such men as An
thony A. Lawp, and the best way to secure
good nominations is to let the party managers
know that such characters cannot be elected
under any circumstances.
Between Laws and tTe Republican candi
date, Mr. William M. Bunn, there need be
no hesitation. Mr. Bunn served with dis
tinction as a private soldier during the war,
and he received a severe wound that entitles
him to the consideration of his fellow citi
zens. He was twice elected a member of the
Legislature, in eaoh instance running ahead
of his ticket, as it is not improbable he will
do at the coming elertion, especially when
the notorious character of his opponent is
taken into consideration.
CRITICISM VS. PUFFERY.
The only claim that actors, singers, artists,
and authors have upon the newspapers is
founded npon the artistio nature of their pro
ductions; and without going back to the
origin of criticism, it need only be stated that
custom has made it a regular branch
of journalism, and that the public expect to
read the opinions of the press upon the merits
and demerits of artistio performances. With
regard to books and pictures, the critic gener
ally has but little difficulty in doing his duty
no more and no less in a manner satisfac
tory to himself and to the public; but a va
riety of circumstances have combined to es
tablish a system of gratuitous advertising and
puffery in connection with theatrical and musi
cal matters that is very far removed from the
regular line of candid and honest criticism.
This is particularly the case with regard to tra
velling shows of every description, the
managers of which are firmly impressed with
the idea that they have unlimited claims
upon the consideration of publishers and
editors, and that a few free tickets are more
than ample compensation for preliminary
notices that, if charged for at regular rates,
would amount to hundreds of dollars. It is
the duty of the newspapers to criticize every
thing in the way of dramatic or musical at
tractions that are worthy of criticism, but it
is not their duty to advertise such attractions
gratuitously; and the system of preliminary
puffery which now exists is neither just to the
newspapers or the public, and it ought to be
broken up, as it certainly can be if the pub
lisher i will only do their plain duty in the
matter.
The Morning rost of last Saturday had an
article on this subject which was very much
to the point. The following portion of it, in
particular, expresses our views exactly:
"It Is time that the gratuitous advertising of New
York novelties or sensations by the press of Phila
delphia should be broken up. Let the Black Crook
be produced, a Fechter or Nlisson arrive, a success
ful run of a play be had, and New York correspond
ents shower upon us, without stint, laudatory criti
cisms Intended to awaken public Interest here, and
insure the pecuniary success or the Individual, the
play, the opera, or whatever It may be. Honest,
intelligent criticism, a criticism not afraid
to speak of demerits as well as excellen
cies, would be acceptable to our public, but
the bastard ciltlclsmof New York letter-writers, a
crltlcitm looking only to the lionizing of its subject
and the aggrandizement of its writer, is a fraud
npon the publisher of a paper, and Rross deceit
practised upon the public It is well enough in its
wav, perhaps, to announce as au item of news that
Bohfantl is at Nlblo's, that Fechter Is playing 'Ham
let,' that NllFson sings in Irovatore, but to give us
the accurate dimensions of Boufantl's legs,
how long she can stand on one, aud assure
us that she is the equal of Fanny Ellsler;
to make us believe that Fechter is greater than
Kean, Uanick, and Kemble coiublued, and tiiit
Mlsson totally eclipses Jennie Llnd, displays a de
giee of Impudence, and yet withal credulity that
makes us laugh at the Innocence of those who sup
pose Philadelphia so easily deceived. Were there
any comity In this thing it might be tolerated. Hut
who ever read In a New York paper an announce
ment of the 'grand success' of A, B, or C
here? Our artists, musicians, and actors 'to the
manor born' (possibly because they do not need
it) are never trumpeted for months In advance, but
when they reach the city of magnificent frauds, are
compelled, and very properly too, to rely for audi
ences or spectators upon their merits, and the aid
which liberal and Judicious advertising always gives.
We do not complain th.t New York institutions are
not advertised here. They are, and liberally too,
but we enter our protest against the managerial
corraption ef correspondents, and that sickly senti
ment, prevalent among local editors, which makes
them recognize anything coming from New York,
i;,o facto, as excellent and worthy of extended
notice."
New York, as every person capible of
forming an opinion on the subject well
knows, is not the artistio and intellectual
centre of the United States; and the practice
of travelling managers aud artists attempting
to advertise themselves for nothing by means
of New York letter-writers, news telegrams,
and other devices of like character, is a
nuisance that ought to be abated. The pub
lic of Philadelphia have been taken in often
enough to know something of the peculiarly
worthless character of the usual endorsements
that dramatio, musical, and other celebrities
receive in New York; and while we will ex
tend a hearty welcome to any attractions thit
are really of a character to demand favorable
notice, we believe that managers should be
made to learn that publio opinion is not to be
manufactured here by the stale devices that
have been in vogue bo long, and that if they
want their shows advertised to the publio they
must pay the usual rates therefor.
TEE CONTEST IN PHILADELPHIA.
The prospects of a Republican triumph, in
this city, at the coming election have been
materially improved by the practical de
straction of the machinery for manufacturing
voters with railroad speed, which was ope
rated so successfully in 18G8 the Supreme
Court having prohibited the summary sys
tem of naturalization and by the new safe
guards against fraudulent registrations which
were created by the- late act of Congress.
The arrests which have already taken place
have had such a wholesome effect in intimi
dating the repeaters, that, from present in
dications, there will be scarcely
half as many names on the extra
assessment lists this year as there were
on the lists of 18G9. As the Democratic
party will be deprived of its usual amount of
aid from coffse-pot naturalization papers,
and as its repeaters will be closely watched,
and, when detected, be severely punished,
while the Republicans will gain a considera
ble accesbion of strength from the colore i
voters, there ought to be a large majority for
the Republican candidates. It only requires
a moderate degree of wisdom, and an avoid
ance of divisions and of the ruinoni policy
of makiDg weak or objectionable nomina
tions, to secure the permanent and decided
ascendancy of the Republican organi
zation here. The attempt to
establish in oar midst the infamous System
of tactics which has made New York so de
cidedly Democratic cannot prevail against the
new precautions embraced in the State and
national legislation of the last few years, and
the wise resolution adopted by the Supreme
Court after the exposure by Thb Evenino
Teleorafh of the abuses which had been per
petrated in its name. However much some
of our desperate Democratic leaders may
wish to imitate the example set by the Tam
many politicians of carrying a great city and
controlling a great State by fraud and force,
their most wicked efforts can at best be
crowned with only partial success in Phila
delphia. THE SITUATION IN FRANCE.
The late demonstration made by a strong
division of the French armies in Paris against
the Prussians appears to have been a vigorous
but unsuccessful sortie, instead of an import
ant victory. It indicates that the garrison of
the invested capital embraces a considerable
number of disciplined troops, but that they
ara unable to cope with the irresistible Ger
mans, or tr prevent the construction of bat
teries in the vicinity of the beleaguered
capital.
The elections for a Constituent Assembly
were only postponed for a short time, and
they will be held during the present month,
so that the establishment of a regular govern
ment in France may soon be anticipated.
This step is equally necessary whether the
war is to go on or a treaty of peace to be ne
gotiated. The recent publication of letters
said to have been found in the Tuileries,
throwing discredit upon the publio and private
character of Napoleon, has direct reference to
these elections, as there is no little danger
that a considerable number, if not an over
whelming majority, of Imperialists will be
chosen by bigoted or benighted constitu
encies; and the Republicans will find it no
easy task, in spite of Napoleon's crime? and
blunders, to destroy his hold upon the confi
dence of portions of the peasantry.
While these elections are pending, the work
of drilling, arming, and organizing new re
cruits ia actively progressing in many por
tions of France, and a deep feeling of indig
nation is being aroused against the invaders,
who are accused of many atrocious acts.
Whether these charges are true or false, they
are believed by a large portion of the French
poople, and if the contest is prolonged it will
scarcely fail to assume a sanguinary character.
The Free Tbade League has published a
record of the action of the members of Con
gress on the tariff question, in which the
Representatives of Pennsylvania are classified
as follows: Nineteen protectionists, includ
ing all the Republican members, and one De
mocrat, Randall; four moderate protectionists,
all of whom are Democrats; and one free
trader, Haldeman, the Democratic member
from the York and Cumberland district. As
the whole subject of the tariff will come up
for consideration during the next Congress,
it is vitally important that the friends of domes-tic
industry should be represented in that
body by firm and unyielding advocates of pro
tection, and the workingmen of the State
should be careful how they trust their most
vital interests to candidates who are classified
by their enemies as "moderates."
