The Democratic paijty on Wed nesday of last week, at Wilkes barre, nominated Hon. J. R. Lud low, ot Philadelphia, for Supreme Judge, and Frank M. Hutchinson, of Allegheny, tor Treasurer, the former being at present Judge of the Com mon Pleas Court of Philadelphia, the latter connected with the Fort Wayne Railroad. This ticket is a respectable one, and personally the candidates are unexceptionable. The Convention re-adopted the Ohio Democratic retrograde plat form,with the exception of the tariff plank. The candidates henceforth, represent not personal qualifications but principles, and are standard bearers of their party, with whom stands or falls the cause they up hold, as the issue may be favorable or otherwise. It is not I probable that Democratic orators "or papers will imitate the disastrous course of last Fall and wage another bitter and personal campaign. They have not forgotten their humiliating and crushing defeat so soon to repeat such folly. What sort of an issue then can they raise ? The platform is an attempt to revive the past and to breath new life into the dry -bones of the old States Rights De mocracy of twenty years ago. The Kip Van Winkle Democracy has just -been awakened from its long re pose, and coming down from the mountains where no change occurs, into the valley of wonderful growth and development, does not quite understand the new order of things, and is out of all sorts with that -modern progress that has made eve rything so strange, but it will learn a new lesson next October, viz : that the old questions that once di vided the country are settled and new ones are demanding attention. The war established the fact that the Union is supreme over the States, and the doctrine of States Rights must be so interpreted as not to conflict with or impair the na tional supremacy; the Republican party extended the S application of liberty to the black race and se cured equal rights to all male citi zens of whatever race or color. The national debt, being wisely man aged, is now placed upon a sound basis for gradual extinguish ment. American industry has been fostered, taxation reduced, internal improvements begun and carried forward, and others projected on a magnificent and all difficulties with foreign"nations adjusted. - In regard to all these issues the Re publican party has been faithful. The same spirit that prompted it to perform such noble work worthy of praise, animates it now and quali fies it to enter upon the discussion and settlement of new issues of great importance. The Democratic party casts its eyes backward, hankering after the flesh pots of Egypt, the Republican looks forward hoping for the fulfillment of the prophetic Aspirations of the masses that labor may have its full reward, and all legalized wrongs against the well being of society be abolished. Tiie questions that are uppermost in .mind and discussion are such as re- late to political economy or the ele vation of the laboring class, and *ke Republican party is anxious to provide remedies for whatever in this respect needs curing. She advances towards the consummation - slowly bnt with well considered steps. The Democracy finds fault, picks flaws, and grumbles, bat proposes no prac tical measure of relief, and is with out power or ideas. The people will not {rust a party so helpless, having no sympathy with modern progress,, no practical ability to manage public affairs, whose very name has become offensive to loyal citizens. What advantages has the Democratic party over the Republi can that power should be entrusted to it? Does its past record inspire confidence? Is its negative charac ter to be preferred ? Is its total de pravity a recommendation ? Is its general tendency in the direction of more freedom and equality for the people? What are the means" by which it can secure adequate legislation to carry cat its plans? The party is hungry for power and the spoils of office, and it is an easy thing to make great promises, bat quite a different one to fulfill those piomises. Whoe upon the Democratic party for help, will find that the assistance render ed is but a broken reed. The Re publican party has the power to exe cute its promises; it has made great ones heretofore, and kept them to the letter; it never breaks a promise. The prosperity of the country to day is due to the party in power, and why should it not be continued in power ? No good reason can be given, and, therefore, no one can doubt the result of the elections this Fall. I COMMUNISTIC TENDENCIES. There was a meeting of Grangers at Boston on Monday, at which J. C. Abbott, General Deputy of the National Grange, and Hon. Amassa Walker spoke on the great revolution going on in the country in regard to cheaper transportation and railroad monopolies. Mr. Ab bott contended that the cost of freight and travel could be reduced to one-quarter of the present rates, and gave statistics of the earnings of different railroads to support the as sertion. Mr. Walker thought that the only way to protect the busi ness interests of the country, is through the interference of Congress. He spoke of three ways: first, by a general law fixing the rate of travel and freight on all the roads; second, to create n#w lines between the principal depots of transportation; and third, by purchasing all roads and placing them under government management, to be leased, which would open all roads to the public at the cheapest rate. This last plan was advised as most feasible. Among the industrial classes there is a growing tendency to favor com munistic doctrines. The discussion of postal telegraphy and government management of railroads shows that communistic ideas are prevalent in the community, and in this respect a radical change is taking place in the education of the people. The old doctrine that the duties of gov ernment are exhausted in the pro tection "ofUiffij and property seems to be yielding to one that requires, governmental agency to develop and manage all large and common inter ests. 1 Democracy refers everything to private enterprise, and by this means educates and' develops a strong and independefat race of peo ple. Communism teaches the peo ple to depend on the government and destroys independence of char acter. Let the people work out their own progress and the very ef fort will make them strong and self reliant. It is possible, however, that the Government might run the railroads and telegraph cheaper than they are now managed, but having” acquired so much additional power and patronage, what party without a revolution would be able to over throw the party in power ? Where would the end of this interference be? This tendency is dangerous, and the government should let alone all business that can be possibly transacted by the people in their private capacity. While govern mental aid is a matter of necessity to accomplish a great national un dertaking* the necessity may excuse the interfer ace, but that interfer ence or aid should stop as soon as the necessi y ceases, and the peo ple be left to work oat resalts as they may. We do not think that the telegraph ilines or railroads will pass into the Government’s hands for some time yet. THE RADICAL i FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1873. POLITICAL NOTES. Not to give the idea too dramatic a turn, it seems as if the Democracy were determined to shake Speer. Butler is going to be Governor of Massachusetts, notwithstanding the opposition of the sllk-stoctfng gentry. Where is Scott ? Another letter from him to Butler would now be In order. Speer was regarded as the rising man in the Democratic party in Pennsylvania until he got squelched at Wilkesbarre. Now he is the deadest Salary grabber in the coun ty. Another evidence that honesty is the best policy* Wolf, of sudden conversion no toriety, is likely to be re-nominated by the Republicans of Union and Snyder for*Assembly. He is cer tainly fortunate iu having a constit uency that adhere closely to party usage, regardless of the fitness and integrity of the candidate.' Mitchell, of Tioga, Chairman of Ways and Means Committee of the House last session, has been re-nom* inated by the Republicans of Tioga county, and will be the next Speak er of the House, unless Myers, of the adjoining county of Bradford, should also be a candidate, in which event McCormick, of Allegheny, may carry off the prize. Tub nomination of Hutchinson for State Treasurer tty the Demo cratic State Convention is a virtual concession that Mackey will be elected, and that the Democrats tend to make their fight for the elec tion of Supreme Judge. Ludlbw is the strongest candidate they, could have presented,\nd it is possible he may not be beaten oyer fifty thou sand. The Democratic * Governor, of Ohio thinks that the Republicans take a great deal better care of the rebels than the Northern soldiers, and is endeavoring to win, by such blandishments the support .of the loyal soldiers who daring the war be denounced as hirelings and mudsills. The effort be may as Well forego. His language is that of a demagogue seeking office, and will ixgure rather than help his Qabernatofdalchances. The Democrats arfe quietly work ing to get dontror of the Senate next session. They expect to elect Nagle in Philadelphia, Dill in Union, defeat Anderson in Craw ford, and carry the Montgomery and Schuylkill districts, thus insuring a majority in the next Senate. Con sidering the apathy existing in our ranks, it is no wonder they are en couraged to make the effort, and there fs a possibility that they may succeed unless Republicans in the districts named are aroused and an active canvass be commenced at once. It is intimated that there will be an effort on the part of certain dis affected persons to defeat one or two of oar candidates for Assembly. Mr. M’Kee, of Butler, and Mr. Cross, of Beaver, are named in this connection. We trust our friends will look after this not only in this county but throughout the district. They are both good men, and the honest, orderly citizens, especially the Republican citizens of this dis trict cannot afford to have either defeated. The election of the State ticket is important, but if anything, the election of such men to the Legislature is more important. Friends be on your guard and report any evidence of treachery at once to the several county committees of the.district. > ! I 1 The Democratic Senatorial Con ference in the district composed of the counties of Union, Snyder, Per ry and Northumberland, nated A. H. Dill, which indicates a determined effort on the part of the Democracy to carry that Senatorial district. The Republicans have a majority of nearly if not quite one thousand in the district, and there should be no question as to the result; but Dill is very popu lar, having been elected three years ago in a district as largely Repub lican, and the Republicans have been quarreling oyer the nomination untiPthany are disposed to concede his election. He is a gentleman of ability and integrity the Repub licans must select a candidate of like character or they will not only nvite but deserve defeat. POLITICAL. —John M. Stebman has been elected chairman of the Lancaster Republican County Committee. —The Pitaburgh Commercial says: In the Western States the Democratic party pretends to be anti-monopoly; in Virgin ia Its candidate for Governor was nomi nated in the railroad interest. The differ ence Is accounted for by the fact that Virginia is believed to be Democratic, While in the Western States that party ia in the minority. Wherever the party has the power it la on the monopoly side. —The Democrats of Juniata county on Monday placed iu nomination the follow ing ticket: State Senator—Dr, J. H. Crawford; Assemcly—Jerome Hetrick; Sheriff—W. H. Krodse; Register and Recorder—John T. Metlin; Treasurer-* Samuel Showers; County Conmissioner— Alex. Cjozler; Jury Commissioner—Da vid Partner; Auditor—John Fitzgerald*; Coroner—Joseph Middsgb. —Politics appears to be mixed in the eastern coal regions In Schuylkill coun ty, there is a prospect of three local tick ets—Republican, Democratic and Work ingmen’s, the lasi- named put up by the miners. The Democrats are in farther trouble because they have no county organ. The Pottsville Standard, which has hitherto occupied that position, is independent, repudiates the Ohio plat form of the Straight-Outs, and has almost indicated an intention to bolt the regular nominations. —The Venango county Democratic Convention met at Franklin on Tuesday and made the following nominations: Assembly—A. J. Keenan; County Treas urer—lsaac M. Sowers; County Commis sioner—A. J. Cowan : Coroner—Dr. S. G. Snowden; Jury Commissioner—J. E, Muse; County Auditor—M. 8. Duffield. RI. Beers, of Rouseville, and 8. C. T. Dodd, of Franklin, were appointed dele gates to the State Convention. John McKisseck was selected as the chairman of the. County Committee. —The Blair county Democratic Con vention met in Hollidaysburg on Mon day, and nominated the following ticket: Assembly—James Funk; Sheriff—John Rocket; Commissioner—Oliver Hagger tyn ; Jury Commissioner—James Mein* tosh PoorfDirector—Emnuel Clapper ; Auditor—RobertJL. Holliday ; Coroner— John Hickey. Thomas W. Jackson was' elected Representative delegate to the State Convention, and S. M. Woodcock Chairman of the County Committee. The delegates to the State Convention were instructed to support Bon. James R. Lad low for Supreme Judge. The Resolutions are of the usual kind, except that the sala ry grab was denounced. —How many have it in their thoughts that there are no less than seven political parties before the country? Yet so it is, and the names of these organizations are as follows; Republican, Democratic, Lib eral, Labor Reform, Woman Suffrage, Temperance, and Farmers. Surely be/e is an opportunity for every “free and en lightened citizen” to suit himself with a set of political principles and to march to the polls with a congenial band of asso ciates. Every question that can possibly be twisted into an issue, and some that cannot, has its place somewhere {among these parties, with all its sides duly pro vided for. And yet it Is not an era of special political activity. —A statement having been made by a writer in Harrisburg, signing himself Junius, in urging the repeal of the Local Option law, that liquor was furnished last winter by the Librarian of the Sen ate, at the public expense. Mr. Russell Errett, editor of the Pittsburgh Commer cial, and Clerk of the Senate thus replies; So far from this being a “notorious fact,” it is not a fact at all. There was □o bar-room in the Senate chamber, last winter, iu charge of the Senate Librari an of any one else, and no Senator par took of whiskey or brandy at the cost of the Commonwealth. Peremptory orders were given, at the opening of the session, by both Speaker and Clerk, to the Libra rian, that liquor of all kinds should be excluded from the chambers, and the ord ers were strictly adhered to. —A dispatch from Pottsville on Mon day says: Hon. William M. Randall was yesterday defeated in the Democratic Convection by a combination that was a perfect surprise, as a majority of the del egates bad been instructed for him. His friends assert that money did it, which has created a bitter dissatisfaction among old line Democrats of the district, believing, as they do, that it was procured by open and shameful corruption. There is a ru mor on the streets that the friends of Sen ator Randall insist upon his being an in dependent candidate. O. P. Pecbtel, of Pottsville, was the nominee. Boyer, Egan and Foster are the candidates for the. lower bouse. Commenting on this the Harrisburg Telegraph says: Our readers will learn from the Telegraphic dispatches from Schuylkill county, that the Democrata of that county have cheat ed jesach other in the nomination of their candidate for Senator. Mr. Randall al leges that a majority of the delegates were openly instructed to support him, and that he was utterly surprised when be was counted out. Mr. Randall is an ultra Democrat, and it makes little difference to the'Republicans who represents that county, if a Democrat is to come; but we must confess that be deserves better treatment at the hands of the Democracy. He has labored bard and faithfully for the parly. LOCAL ITEMS. TO' Beaver Radical le tbe most extensively circa* laled Weekly Newspaper la Western Pen osy Irania. Cleveland 4c Pittabargh Railroad.
