there is anything wrong in the linen-

don't he point it out ? If the Commis

and how it bas been squandered ?
Why don't he give facts and figures
and be done with his cowardly insiu

plenty, and them take the nominations
with a wild hope that they may be
elected and for the sake of a little term

We pity the ticket that the Radical

on the 30th instant. It will be so
badly defeated that its members will
be ashamed to look a white man in the

Pennsylvania Politioi
There are few men in Pennsylvania
who are better aoquainted with the
politics of that State, and the ,condi
tion of the parties there,than Col. A. K.
McClure, For ten years or more lie
as been a Republican ; has worked
hard for the success of his party,
through good and evil report, and is
personally acquainted in all parts of the
State. He is a Republican still. But
he has never been a Radical. As be
tween Cameron and Curtin, he thinks
more of the latter than of the former.
Nor doe:t lie personally approve of the
renomination of Gen. Grant, although
he believes he could carry Pennsylvania
if he could get rid of his sycophants,
abandon the San Domingo swindle,
and declare himself in favor of a wiser
and more prudent policy.
The influence exerted by Col. McClure
on Pennsylvania politics led but re
cently to a publication of his views in
the New York Herald. As those views
were incorrectly reported by the Herald
correspondent, at the solicitation of one
01 the Phdadelphia papers Colonel
McClure has consented to give a cor
rect %errata) of what be did say on the
occasion alluded to.

obedience to them 'as they do to hur
ricanes and floods and such other un
palatable things they cannot escape'
Ile believes lumber that they have bon

they have no desire to depri% e the negro

has arisen ns to whether Mr II A.

them. Mr, Clark was persistent In
claiming the money and valuables—
about ;;;;1800 in all—when the coroner
