THE BEAVER RADICAL.
SMITH CCRTIS, Bdxtob.
BEAVER, PAm
Friday Morning, May 23,1873.
OUR NOMINATING SYSTEM.
The comments of the Beaver
County Press upon the proposed
change in nominating candidate's,
suggests some farther discussion of
the matter, and perhaps, some need
ed explanations, As a member of
the Executive Committee, which
proposed the amendment, we are at
liberty to say that the Committee rep
resented ail the“large boroughs,”and
no one suspected that the language of
the preamble, to which the Press re
fers,was so unfortunately chosen as to
invite the construction it has given
it, viz: a “stigma” upon the “larg
er boroughs.^ 1
“The concentration of power” in
those boroughs under the present
system was thought to be a naked,
unquestioned fact, clearly indicated
by a prevailing custom, which gives
almost a solid vote to the “home”
candidate, who may possibly need
but a few hundred votes to be nomi
nated ; indicated also by the larger
proportionate vote which is easily
polled in the boroughs, because less
effected by the weather and the pres
sure of spring work.
The case of New Brighton, cited,
as having received no important of-
fice in the past, simply shows that
she did not care to use the power
which she unquestionably possessed.
Again, as to the fime given
for deliberation, the Committee
thought that the proposed change
would be readily comprehended, as
it sought to effect only -the objec
tionable features of the present sys
tem, and in those particulars where
in it is not, in any true sense, the
“popular system.”
The intuitive perception of Amer
ican citizens, of whatever political
organization, instantly recognizes,
we think, the propriety of changing
any rule or law, so called, which
permits one-fifth, or perchance one
tenth of the membership of a party,
to dictate the nominations, or the
policy of the entire body.
A vote “for the amendment” at
the primary elections, if, we under
stand it, simply lieu of
the admitted defects in on/ present
R tra+^r~.*v e vix?taus lor fofure con
sideration. Deliberation and dis
cussion, intelligent and prudent
counsel would then be erpected of
the party during the coming year,
in the hope that its Rules and Reg
ulations might be so wisely framed,
in recognition of ; the as to
make the Convention truly a repre
sentative body, and its decisions,
therefore, authoritative. The old
delegate system would necessarily
be improved.
The object of the proposed change
4s to get nearer the American idea
of majority rule; to promote there
by harmony and good feeling, and to
prevent the bitterness which springs
from local and class contests.
The doubt expressed, as to the
realization of this hope, is not sus
tained, we think, by the illustration.
Three candidates are supported for
a certain office. A polls 700 votes, 6
boo and C 1000. The possible nomi
nation of A by the Convention,would
certainly, the Press thinks, send the
other candidates, “home soreheads,”
as “B and C are evidently both
stronger men with the people. This
may be so, bat is not, we claim, ev
idently the case.
Let ns snppose that C is a class
candidate, in the interest of one or
two rival factions, and polls the en
tire strength of that faction, 1000
■votes. A and B divide the vote of
•the opposite faction, and are both
men. As against Aor B
C might be largely in the minority.
These facts would not appear under
■the present system, and yet be fully
known to delegates, personally fa
miliar with the characters and pref
erences of voters in their respective
districts. The friends of C, failing
to secure any additional support from
A or B, may prefer A to B, for- ob
vious reasons, and cast their
strength in {bat direction.
Would the nomination of C,
under the present system, in the
above not improbable contingen
cy* promote greater harmony in
’.the party, than the ypowible nom
nation of A, under the amended
system?-
But this illustration is the most
favorable to the present system of
any that could be selected. If,in this
case,C’s nomination might be unsat
isfactory to the majority, jwhat
would it be in the event of ten or
twelve candidates in the field, al
lowing him to win by a showing of
500 to 600 votes ?
We have, it is true, secured in
most cases, very worthy candidates
under the present system, but other
men, equally worthy, but unsuccess
ful, have been perhaps needlessly
embittered by this delusive test of
popular strength. But arguments can
readily be adduced upon both sides
of this question. The Committee
have discharged their duty, in sub
mitting the plan of those favoring a
change, to a vote of the party.
THE VIENNA COMMISSIONER
SCANDAL.
The evidence is conclusive that
the United States Commissioner at
Vienna, Gen. Van Buren, and some
few of his associates, have beep
guilty of fraud and corruption in
the management of the American
department of the Vienna Exposi
tion, and that in consequence of
these irregularities and improprie
ties, much severe criticism has
been indulged in to the mortifica
tion of our other representatives
and citizens now there. It is said
that the facts of this scandal are
even worse than yet represented,but
what is known is sufficiently humili
ating, and ought to consign the
guilty parties to political oblivion
and eternal shame. The Govern
ment has removed or suspended Van
Buifen, and those implicated in his
frauds, and we may yet hope that
under honest management, confi
dence in American integrity may
|be restored and our part in the
exposition made creditable to the
nation. In such gigantic displays
nations become rivals, and the part
which each power enacts is illustra
tive of its national life and progress,
and must have great influence in
shaping the course of events, and
stimulating the energies of peace.
Thus far the Vienna Exposition
> has not equaled expectations, and
j apprehensions are expressed that it
j will never be a brilliant
j but be a continual
flow of visitors towards the Austri
an capital who undoubtedly., will
change the prospects for the better,
and possibly transform the dismal
croakings of those dissatisfied into
shouts of joy and praise over the
splendid final result.
[ In the New York Legislature the
j other day Mr. McGuire, a member
from Schuyler county, in speaking
on the bill known as “a bill to facil
itate a settlement with Ezra Cor
nell,” but which empowers him to
sell the lands, amounting to some
990,000 acres, located in Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Kansas, at prices
which would realize for the land
$2,000,000, charged, in a very long
and sharp speech, that Mr, Cornell
had been acting apparently the part
of a philanthropist, but in reality
was a sordid wretch, intent on gain;
that he was at the head of a ring
organized to purchase the lands at
$2,000,000, when they were really
worth $24,000,000. The day after
these charges were made Mr. Cor
nell telegraphed immediately to
Governor Dix, indignantly denying
them, and calling for the appoint
ment of a commission to thoroughly
investigate them, and alleges that
they were instigated by disap
pointed schemers, enraged at his
efforts to keep their hands out of the
fond which he created for education.
Both Mr. McGnire and Ezra Cornell
are men of high character and spot
less reputation, which fact only
serves to make the charges more as
tounding. It is said that public opin
ion is suspended in New York in re
gard to the trnth of the matter, but
the case is cure to attract general at
tention in the country. If] each a
man as Mr. Cornell, who has been
considered a public benefactor in
donating #500,000 to Cornell Uni
versity and 300 or 400 acres of
ground on which the College build
ings are built,land |in so managing
the finances of the institution as to
create an immense fund for the same,
should now fall from this proud po
sition, it would be a terrible calami-

frauds of recent date, would Ve sad

dress be form.
Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
read an essay upon dress reform, at
a recent meeting of the Boston
Woman's Club which 'is published
in the New York liidependeni and
abounds with sparkling wit, practi
cal thought, and earnest feeling.
Miss Phelps values time too highly
to waste it in trimming dresses; she
deprecates the prevalent mania, of
excessive ornamentation and elabo
ration which fashion requires of
her votaries and advocates simplici
ty and. comfort instead. Ldng
skirts, tight waists and humps were
denounced by the club as unseemly
and abhorent, in the gefieral and
animated discussion that followed
the essayist, and it was proposed
to cut them off from three to five
inches. We think the ladies should
give this subject serious attention
for it is a reform much needed.
Years ago it was attempted but
failed: the movement was then
but now when such
womjn of unquestioned goodness
and ability as Miss Phelps have
taken up the lost cause, may we not
hope that some good will come of
it which will lead to less slavish
following of fashion, and more
simple, usefnl, and not less becom*
ing styles. If the women of our
country are allowed to enter on
wider fields of labor and compete
with men in the straggle of life on
equal terms, the necessity of a sim
pler and more convenient dress will
certainly be felt, and then we may
expect a reform, but as long as
ladies are restricted in their sphere
by laws and kept, for want of em
ployment, idle, their time will most
ly be devoted to the adornments of
their person and other frivolous en
tertainments, and fashion will have
its way in spite of the excellent
essays of such as Miss Phelps. .
Some of our Democratic friends
and the Argus are terribly opposed
to thft
l*»«aHge in otn — system.
We have been using the so called
popular vote plan for a number of
years and it is significant that our of
ficious Democratic friends have never j
urged its adoption by their party. |
Neither the Argus nor the Conserv - I
alive has to our knowledge advocat- i
ed the system for the special benefit
of its party, except indirectly by
fastening it upon the Republican
party: Now we think that our op
ponents either should adopt the
system themselves, to prove the sin- I
cerity of their counsels, or dry up.
Sometimes it is well to seek wisdom !
of one’s adversaries,but not in poli
tics, and the very fact that the
Argus and Democrats are anxious
that shall adhere to
their present system, should be
enough to convince any good Re
publican that such adherence is un
wise and dangerous.
We are to receive from Great
Britain next September the Alaba
ma Indemnity in gold, and the re
ception of such a large amount of
gold in this country at one time has
created some fears that it will un
settle the money market, and cause
considerable fluctuations in the
price of gold; but the Secretary
has so much power over the control
of the gold market in this country
that we do not anticipate any great
change from the payment of the in
demnity fund alone, unless other
speculative causes are at work to
force such a result. Such a huge
transaction does not occur every
day.
Geobgb Francis Teain who was
some days ago declared to be sane
and responsible for his acts by a jury
that had heard all the evidence on*
the question of his supposed insani
ty, has again been before the court
on an indictment of sending obscene
matter through the United States
mails, and the jury after hearing the
evidence was ordered -by the court
to bring lit a verdict of nob guilty
on the ground of ins*Dity,;and since

--A correspondent of the §t. Paul
[Minn.) Press nominates Governor Dix
Tor the Presidency, in view of his stability
and firmness.
—J. It. McMiller, of Somerset county,
is announced as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for Assembly.
—The Hon, Jonathan Allison, of Wash
ington county, is announced as a candi
date for re nominatipn for the Legisla
ture. •
—Besides Col. Wm. F. Wagonseller
{already announced, Jeremiah Bogan, of
Port Trevortop, Snyder county, is also a
Republican candidate for nomination for
State Senator.
—The Hon. John Leisenring, of Carbon
county, is suggested by a correspondent
of the Mauch Chunk Gazette as a good
man for the Republicans to nominate for
Slate 'preararer.
—The Springfield Republican thinks
that the brief existance of the “combina
tions” among the New York aldermen is
due to the tact that there is "too much
public opinion and newspaper around.”
. —The Kennebec (Me.) Journal advo
cates the nomination of the Hon. Nelson
Dingley, Jr., as the Republican candidate
fot Governor of Maine, and believes the
selection will lie between him and ex-
Judge Kent.
—The Pittsburgh Post publishes a letter
from Butler county alleging that the
Hon. John Hippie Mitchell, the new
United States Senator from Oregon, form
erly resided in Butler under the name of
John Hippie, and that his father and
many of his relatives still live there.
—The Tribune thinks the assertion that
the Virginia Republicans are to run Hen
ry A. Wise for Governor is a pretty good
indication that party lines are badly demor
alized. Old line Democrats will rub their
eyes with astonishment to see Republicans
voting for the man who refused to accept
amnesty from the United States Govern
ment, and who sentenced John Brown to
be banged.
—The Republican Legislature of New
York has for the second time refused to
pass any “charity bill,” such as Democrats
always adopted, and it has cut down the
canal appropriation between eight and
nine hundred thousand dollars. “So that
«t is not too much to say” remarks the
Albany Journal , “that on these items
alone, as Democratic rule, the Republi
can saving for the people will be two
millions of dollars.” ,
—The citizen of New York who has
been owing the Governmen hall a nation
dollars taxes for four years has at length
paid up under protest. The interest
meantime would amount to $150,000. If
tllv - - - -——
le
to dawdle in that way, what kind of gov*
eminent would it be? Well, it would be
just that is certain, which it isn’t, when
it administers the law promptly on John
Smith, laborer, and dilatorily on Vander
bilt, millionaire.
—The Pittsburgh Commercial says :It
is a matter of just pride to Pennsylvani
ans that as soon as the Secretary of Stale
received a detailed report of the examina
tion ordered into the alleged irregularities
of the suspended American Commission
ers at Vienna, he at once directed the
restoration of Colonel Clayton McMi'chael,
of Philadelphia, upon whom not even a
shadow of suspicion rests, and whose
course throughout has been of the most
upright and honorable character.
—A fruitful subject for investigation is
thus suggested to the next Congress by
the Chicago Tribune : “The case of Phelps,
Dodge & Co. win come before the XLIIId
Congress as Credit Mobilier did before the
last session of the XLIld Congress. It
will present a crime perpetrated under
the forms of law more vile and degrading
than the grand combination for defraud
ing the Government in Union Pacific. It
will involve officials who were engaged in
a huge blackmailing transaction, and will
develop the nefarious ways and means
adopted by spies, informers, and vampires
who operate under the protection of Gov
ernment authority. The demand for in
vestigation will come from the entire
mercantile community of the country,
which cannot afford to permit one of its
members to be bled after the fashion in
which Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co. ware
plundered, since they may all be subject
to the same process,”
—The following names are announced

of S. Huntingdon Township.
—At the Jefferson County Republican
Convention held at Steubenville on Thurs
day, May 17, the delegates were instructed
to vote for Gen. E. P. Noyes for Governor,
A. T. for Lieutenant Governor,
and W T\Wilson for Comptroller, Resolu
tions were offered by Gen. A. G. McCook,
and adopted, that the action of the major
ity iU the'late Congress in passing the
“back salary” bill, whereby, on the last
day’s session, they voted themselves a
gratuity of five thousand dollars each for
services already performed, wasv a viola
tion of trust reposed in them by their
constituents and disgraceful plundering
of the National Treasury, and the mem
bers so voting justly forfeited the confi
dent! of the people; that the thanks of the
people of Jefferson county are due Jacob
A. Ambler, late Representative in Cou
gress, for faithful, honest discharge of offi
cial duties, more especially for the man
ner in which he opposed the salary grab
at every stage of its progress.
—The Pittsburgh Morning Mail says:
There never was a truer adage than that
politics make strange bedfellows. The
latest illustration comes from Washington
to the effect that leading Virginia politi
cians state that ex-Governor Henty A.
Wise is making an effort to get the Re
publican nomination for Governor. Colo
nel Hughs, who has heretofore been spok
en of as the probable candidate of the Re
publicans, can not. it is said, command
the united support of the party, being
strongly opposed by Senator Lewis and
bis followers. Since the nomination of
Horace Greeley by the Democratic Con
vention at Baltimore, Henry A. Wise,
like John 8. Mosby, has been seeking
affiliation with the Republican parly of
Virginia, and the proposition is to take
bim up as a compromise candidate on the
j ground that he would draw conservative
j votes. The straightout Republicans of
I the Hughs faction are. of coarse, against
Wise, and will do all they-can to prevent
his nomination. Altogether it is hardly
probable that Wise can be nominated,
but in view of bis antecedents, the idea of
his seeking a nomination from the Repub
licans is rather novel.

V almost, Boulder County. Col., (
May 12, 1873. S
Tresfdeht Grant and family have lately
Tistno TTOTorado. The great man
has come and gone, printer’s ink has
been freely shed in fat head lines, telling
of receptions, processions, balls and din-
: ners to bis honor; of how he suffered
three hours martyrdom at the bands of a
motley crowd of Denverites; who Miss
Nellie danced with, and how Mrs. Grant
was dressed; how they took a special
train to the mountains, and how the par
ty walked on a pavement of silver bricks
from the carriage into the hotel at Central
City. A growl comes up from those places
not visited by the President, for want of
lime. Pueblo cannot see why the Presi
dent patronized Denver to their exclu
sion, and Georgetown is pugalistic be
cause Denver made out the programme,
and omitted them from the line of travel.
I believe the President has a larger per
centage of friends among Coloradians
than he has in the East—the administra
tion is pretty generally upheld here, ex
cept, perhaps, the Indian policy, and I
suspect that Mr. Grant sustained a pretty
severe pumping at the hands of the inde
fatigable newspaper men, to find out
what are the President’s views at the
present juncture. From their silence I
think they did not make; much. Colora
dians are strongly in of extermina
tion, and I expect that had some of the <
most earnest advocates of the Peace Pol
icy passed through some of the expe
riences of the early settlers of Colorado,
they would see the fallacy of their
arguments.
The elements favored the Presidential
party, for they bit a gap in the stormy
weather. The day after they left the
worst storm of the season hurst over Den
ver and Southern Colorado. Snow fell
several feet deep. The winter up
the middle of March was only in name,
but since that lime we have had a succes
ion of snow and rain storms, with chilly
cloudy weather. It has been disagreeable,
but not as bad as our Pennsylvania spring
weather. In the absence of all mud we
can walk out immediately after the heav
iest raio- without soiling a shoe. It has
now cleared up warm and bright, with a
prospect of settled grod weather. Farm
ing prospects are excellent. For a time,
by a want of snow and raio in the mount
ains, the outlook for farmers was poor,
but a great breadth of wheat has been
sown, one-half and three hundred acres
per farm, which, under the influence of
the fragrant rains and warm suns, is look
ing well.
The Golden & Julesburg Railroad are.
running trains from Golden toLougmount,
41 miles, and will make* the connection
through to Jalesburg, connecting with the
Union Pacific as soon as the iron can be
laid, thus giving the U. P. a through
route over their own roadfj to the mouc,
sins and Denver. The Kansas
has held the monopoly and fleeced tV
people long enough. Ten cents a mile fo
passengers, and for freight from
York they gobble more than one- half f*
the last 600 miles over the K. P. Let 01
hope that competition will bring
the charges. As a new road the 6 4 j
are very accommodating. The flourish
of a broom or mop stick stops them any
where for passengers. An amusing i nc i
dent occurred the other morning as th
engine was laboring up one of the steep
grades. A man was observed
waving bis hat. To shut off s t eam
to stop. On being asked what he wanted 3
said, he “wanted to see if oar Sal was on
the train.’* The conductor told him to look
and see, r but Sal was not aboard. Passing
out he said, “M|r. Conductor, won’t yon
look for Sal to-morrow morning, and if
she is on stop and let me know,” and the
train labored on.
The mountains look grand in the clear
sunlight; the font hills clothed with the
dark foliage ot the pine, loom squarely
up thousands of feet above the pi a j c
gashed and seamed with dark canyons
where the sun never shines. Bold and
threatening they resemble giants guarding
the threshold of another world, while
above them and far beyond rise the peaks
of eternal snow, glistening in the sun like
burnished silver giants of the same race
who have risen to the heights of glory
while above all lies Abe blue ethereal
without a cloud to mar the beauty.' The
mind is lost in admiration of the magni
tude of the works of the Almighty. To
view such a scene, and to be thus inspir
ed, is worth thousands of miles of travel
