Although tho Legislature of last winter

An exchange very truthfully remarks that
"Tlio man who enters n nominating rnm

nominating him. '

Tho chargo of Judgo Orvis printed on
tho first page is an able and clear review of
the law on tho subject of conspiracies and
tho rights of labor. Wo commend its care
ful reading to all who desire to understand
tho subject of which it treats thoroughly,
and also to all who may possibly become in
volved in such proceedings in future, as
people who fully understand their rights are
much leas likely to got into trouble than are
those who aro ignorant on the subject.
John S. Spinner was Treasurer of Che
United States for fourteen years. He re

When an honest man thus completely vin
dicates tho Integrity of his official action ho
deserves that tho fact should be everywhere
proclaimed.
Tho Wiiliamsport Quelle fr bulletin is

Tlio Republican papers pronounco the re
port of the Legislative Investigating com

robbed of 11.200.000 by tho Republican

ultteo shown that tho same officials had sto
len tho entire available assets of tho State,
tlio fact would no doubt have been heralded
by our cotcmpornrles In tho samo way ; but
then tho tax-payers in November will not
look upon it in that light.

THE
Denlh of ex-President Johnson.
Andrew Johnson died suddenly on tlio 31st
uf July, while on a visit to ills daughter in
Cartor county, Tennessee Ho was stricken
with paralysis on tlio preceding Wednesday
and novcr spoko afterwards. Ho was In tho
GSth year of his ago.
The career of President Johnson was an
extraordinary ono. His father was a very
poor man, spending tho main part of his
manhood in tlio occupations of constable,
sexton, and porter to n bank. He died
wlien Andrew was four years of ago. Hnv
lug served nn apprenticeship to the tailoring
business, Andrew removed from North Car
olina, when yet under age, with his mother,
to Orecnvillo, Tonncssco, whero ho married
and continued to rcsltlo until death. His
wlfo taught him to read and cyphor, and this
was tho extent of his education except such
as ho acquired tn tho courso of life. At
twenty years of ago ho was elected alderman
of tho villago of Greenville, an offico corrcs'
ponding to our Justlco of tho Peace. Prom
that ttmo to retiring from tlio Presidency, it
is said ho was out of offico only two years,
Ho was successively nldcrmnn, mayor, menv
bor of tho Legislature, ten years in tho low
er houso of Congress, twlco Governor of
Tennessee, by olection of tho people, U. S,
Senator, provisional Governor by appoint
ment, Vice President, President by tho death
of Mr. Lincoln, and ngain U. S. Senator,
Up to tlio breaking out of the rcbollion ho
was nn active nnd leading Democrat, though
he never enjoyed tho confidence of General
Jackson nml tho othor distinguished Btntcs
men of the south. During tlio war he acted
with the Republicans, though ho never pro
tossed their political faith, and upon reach
ing tho presidency lie undertook to carry out
tho Lincoln programme of reconstruction,
in opposition to tlio ultra views of politi
cians of the character of Sumner and
Stevens. In his struggle with them ho lost
all hold upon tho Republican party, and nl
though he was In general terms sustained by
the Democracy ho never again completely
identified himself with that organization
With his course as President, the attempt to
impeach him and its failure, his violent
quarrels with the Republican leaders, his
subsequent election to the U. S. Senate nnd
his position and action there, our readers
are familiar. Tho personal integrity of An
drew Johnson, bo far as wo know, was never
impeached even by the most violent of his
foes. His ability was on a par with the
ablest statesmen of his latter time. His pat
riotiam was unquestioned. His reputation
as a statesman is mainly damaged by his ab
surd idea that ho could form a party to ral
ly around him personally that would swill-
low up ono of tho principal parties of the
country and beat tho other. Ho was a man
not only of great firmness of purpose but of
extraordinary tenacity nnd never yielded m
the pursuit of his fixed ideas. Ho no doubt
fully lived out tho time of his usefulness.
His memory will bo honored by his country
men because ot the acknowledged integrity
and patriotism of his character, and the ex
traordinary examplo his life and career af
fords that in this country a man may rise
from the humblest origin and without the
aid to the least extent of early advantage,
even an hour spent in school, to the most
exalted public position. Throughout the
Union there will be demonstrations of public
honor, such as the death of few other men
would command. President Grant has issu
ed the following
Executive Oiinr.ii.
Washington, July 31st. It becomes the
nainful dutv of the President to announce to
the people of the United States tho deatli of
. . t r t i : r
Auurcw jounsun, luu nisi, survivor ui ins
honored predecessors, which occurred in Car
ter county, East Tonnessee, at an early honr
this morning. The solemnity of tho occa
sion which called him to the Presidency,
with the varied nature ami length ot his pub
lie services, will cause him to bo long ro
membcrcd, nnd occasion mourning for tho
death of a distinguished public servant. As
a mark of respect for the memory of tho de
ceased, it is ordered that the Executive
Mansiou nml tho several Departments of the
Government at Washington ho draped in
mourning until the close of tho day desig
nated for his funeral, nnd that all public bu
siness be suspended on that day.
It is further ordered that tho War and
Navy departments causo suitablo honors to
paid on tlio occasion to tho memory of the
illustrious dead.

John L. Cadwam.apkr,
Acting Secretary of State.
Lono Branch, July 31. President Grant
was out witli his four-in-hand this afternoon
Ho was advised by telegraph of tho deatli of
Andrew Johnson, and was visibly affected.
Bcnj. Bannan, whohad been connected witli
the Miners Journal at Pottsvillo sinco 1829,
died at that place on the 31sl ult., after a
lingering illness. Though much given to
utter recklessness of statement on other
subjects, he mado his paper valuable in sta
tistical information concerning the coal trade
and no doubt thus contributed much to the
prosperity of that business. He was nn ar
dent advocate of the protcctivo tariff system
and of the measures of tho Whig party gen
erally. Of lato years ho was a Republican.
Though pecuniarily unfortunate in early life
ho died possessed of a considerable estate.
We believe ho maintained a fair personal
reputation,
Tho claim set up for Mr. Bannan that ho
was the author of the Normnl school system
of this State has no just foundation what
ever. Tho Democracy of Union county having
unanimously instructed their delegates to the
Stato Convention to support Hon. A. II,
Dill for Governor, that gentleman Indulges
in the popular amusement, now become so
common that it has almost ceased to be re
spectable, of "declining tho honor." Mr.
Dill is a mobt agreeablo gentleman, of very
popular manners, has ability far above tho
ordinary level and much experience in tho
legislation of the State, and may therefore
bo properly regarded as possessing the re
quisite qualifications for the position. It is
not to bo supposed, notwithstanding this do
clination, that his equanimity would be bo
rlously disturbed, his health effected or his
temper unduly excited to resentment, were
the Eric convention to nominate him, noris
It to bo inferred that ho would In that event
decline to be a candidate. As remarked in
other cases, this declining business Is a farco
that Is played out, to tho extent that it be
gins to approach tho ridiculous. A man
may properly say that ho docs not desire tlio
nomination, if that bo truo, but it is tho
special business of tho conventions, in tlio
absence of Instruction to delegates,, to nom
inate tlio best and fittest candidate they can
coticcnlrato upon, without tho fulntcst refer
ence to whether ho desires tho candidacy or
the ollice, or otherwise. If any body should
decline to servo after his election, no partic
ular harm would bo dono as wo havo an ex
cellent Lieutenant Governor already In of
fico to tnko his place, but that Is a contin
gency pcoplo need not disturb thcinsolvea
about, notwithstanding tlio declining epi
demic that is just now so prevalent.

COLUMBIAN AND
Political Platform Untitling.
Political "platforms" aro articles that grow
imw-fi-dnys ns readily ns mush rooms and
aro of about as pinch ..public value. It is
only those who can forctoll tho future that
are capable- of mating wlso platforms in
rcforonco to things that aro to come, and in
our judgmoiit tho ago of prophets has
passed. It may bo woll for a convention to
express tho woll dovcloped sentiment of tho
party it represents in rcferciico to particular
measures ponding, but at that point its offico
In declaring tho future ceases. Principles of
action aro based on eternal truth?, nnd can
not bo cither nltcrcd, enlarged or circum
scribed by conventions. Tho principles which
gnvo riso nnd substanco to tho Democratic
party wero ns well understood nnd ns clearly
defined n hundred years ngo as thoy can bo
now, and aro as immutablo as any law of na
ture. When a candldato Is nominated by
tho Democratlo party, who ishlmself of that
party, tho pcoplo know as well what to ex
pect from tho government conducted by him
(if honest) as well as all tho conventions
that over assembled or nro tonsscmbloon tho
faco of tho earth can tell them, In cases
llko that which culminated in 1872 In the
puro deviltry of nominating Horaco Greeley
for President by a Democratic convention,
a platform may bo necessary to point out
what tho crazy men who perform tho opera
tion mean, but when, as is usually the case,
a convention nominates a worthy man who
holds the political opinions of tlio party it
represents, a platform of specialities is ns
worthier ns two tails to n kite. If any party
lias ever carried out tho provisions oi a plat
form our memory is sadly at fault nnd wo do
not bcllovo Hint they usually expect to do it
when they make them. At best, therefore,
they aro mere clap traps and as biicIi havo
little influence upon elections or tho future
conduct of parties, except as to what is spc
cifically pledged as to nctually pending men
8ii res.
Wo trust, therefore, that the Democratic
convention to asscmblo at Erio will givo it
itself little concern about platform building,
except to keep pernicious conceits nnd jug
glery out and to pledge tho party to certain
reforms, but will givo us honest, nblo nnd
well known candidates, whoso lives aro a full
gunranty of correct political principles nnd
action, and aside from proper pledges and a
general declaration of conlidcnco in .Tefiorso-
nian principles and an incisive arraignment
of Radical abuses, that it will givo us as lit
tle of platform making as possible.
True, thero arc pending subjects of imme
diate and direct concern to tho pcoplo that
require specific pledges ns legislators and
somo other officials forget to act consistently
with the party principles they profess. The
most important of these existing at this time
is salary orabbino. Every professed
principle of government held by the Demo
cratic party points to economical adminis
tration nnd especially to low salaries, that
the people may not bo oppressed nnd offices
not sought from sordid motives. There ough t
to be no occasion for requiring a pledge from
tho Democratic party that officials elected by
it will be faithful to this principle. But tho
personal influence and cupidity of office
holders has some times out-weighed principle
and henco tho necessity of pledges on the
subject. No ono thing now existing preys
more heavily upon tho public and upon each
individual tax-payer than the enormously
high salaries that aro paid to all office
holders. A reduction cannot bo obtained
except upon the demand of nominating con
ventions and tho personal pledges of candi
dates. Unless this matter is attended to the
abuse in salaries will be increased. Although
tho Republican party is solely responsible
for tho abuse, its leaders wero always cun
ning enough to induco some Democrats to
assist them in perpetrating tho wrong. A
pledge in this regard, therefore, becomes nec
essary, and any party will bo weakened and
distrusted that does not voluntarily givo it
in unmistakable terms. Let not tho Erio
convention fail in this regard.
There may bo oilier points that require
attention, but none so important. It is hoped
that tho convention will bear in mind that
its main business is witli Stato affairs. To
rcbuko tlio Federal administration for its
corruption nnd extravagance, nml its unfaith
fulness to tho constitution, will of course be
attended to, but that can ho douo in few nnd
terso jvords. If tho Erio politicians get it
into their heads that they know nil about
tho financial question and can prcscribo n
specific remedy, they will only givo tlio pub
lic another illustration of tho vanity of poor
humanity. Tho constant change of circum
stances may require cliango of action and
promises for tho future ought therefore to
bo confined to tho.singlo purpose of favoring
tho resumption of specie payments at tlio
curliest moment that that end can bo reached
without injury to tho business of tlio coun
try, and tho other great financial neccasity,
tlio entire repeal of tlio national banjj sys
tem and tho substitution of government
notes bearing no interest so far as tho samo
may bo necessary.
Tho mere flap-doodle stuff with which po
litical platforms are usually crowded ought
to be carefully avoided, as it only serves to
weaken and render them contemptible.
After all, tho nomination of able, known
and reliable men as candidates is far more
important than nnything else the convention
can do. If tho patriotic purpose of nomi
nating tho strongest possiblo candidate pro
vails, all will bo well.
It is pretty well settled now that Presi
dent Grant is determined to drivo Columbus
Delano from his Cabinet, At tho last meet
ing of that body Delano was permitted to bo
present only whilo business relating to his
department was being transacted. It is stat
ed, too, that Hon, Win, II. Armstrong, of Wii
liamsport, will bo his successor. Ho is n
gentleman of very considerable ability, nat
ural and acquired, and stands far above his
party leaders generally in this Stato as re
gards personal integrity and patriotism of
purpose, If Gen. Grant were to confino his
appointments to men of his ability and rep
utation ids administration would gain in
public respect.

Schools nml Mental Diseases.
In a lato number of tho Comjmiiian wo
replied, fully but somowhat curtly, to tlio
foolish chargo that our "common school
system" was tlio prolific causo of many of
tho mental dlsoasos that now prevail. In
tho attacking articles to which wo replied
Dr. Curwin was quoted as authority for tho
position assumed. By nn oxtrnct from his
nddrcss on incntnl diseases published In tho
August number of tho ttchool Journal, wo
find that tlio citation of Dr. Curwin's namo
ns authority for tho statement that wo com
bated was n gross fraud. What Dr. Curwin
did say may bo fully judged from this briof
extract, to wit :
Tlio system of education so much In voguo
within the last few yciiM, particularly In
privata schools, has unquestionably n ten
dency to impair tho Integrity of tlio nervous
system and thus predispose to various dis
eases of that system, nnd to mental disorders.
Tho cfl'ort to mako a child study half-a-dozcu
books, on different subjects, and tho contin
ued Btraln thus Induced, not only during
school hours, but at their own homes, to cn
ablo them to keep up with tho woik requir
ed of them, nnd the consequent almost en
tire neglect nl regular healthful exercise,
seems to havo been tho rule.
It will bo observed that "tho common
school system" Is not singled out, but that
abuses In our educational Institutions gener
ally, "particularly in private tchooh," aro re
ferred to. Whether ignorance, carelessness
or dishonesty gave rlso to tho fraud of quot
ing Dr. Curwin as sustaining tho position
that our "common school system" specially
promoted mental diseases it is not important
to inquire.
That too much study or rather, no much
study and confinement that there is not suf
ficient time given to bodily exercise, activi
ty, and iiiniiscnieiit of tho mind does in
jure tho health and therefore probably tho
mental powers nlso, need neither bo main
tained or denied at tlio present lime, for
thero nro nono to dispute the fact, but that
tho common school system has a peculiar
tendency to tlio abuso is not true. But, if
true, tho error could readily be corrected by
legislative enactment so far as tlio operation
of the law is concerned. If, however, par
cuts and teachers will unduly stimulate
clpso and prolonged application and injuri
ous study by pralso and flattery, or by force,
the objection will apply to all forms of edu
cation, and cannot so readily be reached, if
at all, by any other means than an nppeal
to their common sense.
It alfords us particular satisfaction to re
licve Dr. Curwin from the imputation thrust
upon him by tho ignorant or dishonest im
putation of thoso who quoted him as saying
that our "common school spstem" promoted
imbecility. That too much study, too many
branches studied at the samo time, and too
little excrciso and physical enjoyment are
promotive of disease and destructive of men
tal vigor in children we aro not disposed to
controvert. Precocious development is
something to be feared and guarded rather
than encouraged.
An ignorant and impudent charlatan, who
knows nothing of science in any branch,
and is otherwise unintelligent, has been
making balloon ascensions for a year or two
past, and always reporting sundry hair
breadth escapes. Recently ho mado an as
cension from Philadelphia, landing in New
Jemey, sending despatches from a small
town in tlio latter, over a falso signature,
that ho had fallen from a great height anil
been crushed to jelly. Tho fraud was
quickly discovered and exposed. Later lie
mado an ascension from Chicago. A suspi
cious report at once started that ho was lost.
Sundry bottles were picked up on lako Erie
containing messages to tlio effect that ho was
about being lost, but unfortunately nothing
verified that fact. Ho is said, also, to have
been seen lurking about a small Michigan
village, which is probably true. His name
is Donaldson.
Political Notes ami (lain ions.
Tho Republican party in Pennsylvania
as represented by its leaders, has been a band
leagued together for power not for principle.
Its chieftain is famous not for ability, not
for integrity, not for devotion to principle,
but for his skill in manipulating conven
tions. His doctrines ifnd practices havo
spread throughout tho political organizations
of the State, No man of first class ability
can bo tolerated. At his nppcaranco ho
must be destroyed politically. This is most
strikingly illustrated in tlio case of Butler
B. Strang, an instanco among hundreds, a
man of fino intellect and much force of
charade, is set aside in favor-of nonentity
Itawle, for that represents his full political
power in the Stato. Tho man of brains had
iff) chance at Lancaster against tho man of
tho ring. Yet in this perpetual setting up
of men of mediocrity for public positions,
tlioso shrewd schemers after political power
show their cunning; and though the Stato
reap no honor, they perpetuate their dynas
ty of plunder and corruption, through men
that daro not call their soul their own.

of tho condition of tho Treasury, with a list
ot depositories ol tho btato limits, including
tho sinking fund, supported by proper vouch
ers, with the request that tho board should
examine and verify it, which was dono.
Wp find tho foregoing despatch In the
Philadelphia papersif Tuesday. If tlio ro
solve noted is carried out in good faith, it
will bo tlio first tlmo sinco tho Republicans
camo into power that tho Sinking Fund bal
ances were honestly applied. Though Sec-
Quay offered the resolution given above, ho
was forced to do it to prevent Gen. Temple
from offering it, which it was publicly known
ho would do. It will be seen, too, that for
the first timo in Mackcy's ltistory of the
management of the Treasury ho has been
compelled to give a full exhibit of tlio con
dition of tho Sinking Fund and whero the
money is deposited. For this, nlso, the pub
lic havo'Gcn. Temple to thank. So much
for a faithful Democratic Auditor General,
who has both the will and the nervo to compel
speculating officials to perform their duty to
tlio people.
We aro informed that during tho month
of July, Gen. Tcmplo forced tho collection
from various officials of the unprecedented
sum of l,r00,000. All tho Philadelphia
officials were compelled to pay up, some to
tho tuno of forty to fifty thousand dollars,
with only ono exception, nnd his account has
been placed in tho hands of tho Attorney
General for forcible collection. No wonder
tho delinquents denounco Gen. Temple as
"an old ram." As long as ho performs his
duties in tho manly way he has been doing
he can afford to stand the abuso of officials
lie has forced into disgorging the public
funds. Now givo us a Governor who will
be, tints energetic in tho discharge of duty.
After tlio present term Gen. Tcmplo would
be an eminently proper man for the place,
A Forcible Illustration.
Nothing so forcibly illustrates the profli
gacy of tho party in power in tho State as
the enormous increaso tho past fifteen years
havewitnesscdin tliccosi of maintaining the
government j and particularly sinco tho ac
cession of the present Executive, John F.
Hartranft. Previous to and during tho war
tlio increase in our annual expenditures was
gradual, and inconsiderablo in amount.
Whatever the yearly increaso was it could
readily bo accounted for by tho growth of
the Commonwealth in population and tlio
enhanced price of living incident to a state
of prosperity tho liko of which no other
Stato of tho Union could boast. The pcoplo
were fully employed ; tho tax gatherer did
not oppress them; for, except in rare in
stances, theso servants were honest, while
tho expenso of their maintenance was kept
down to tlio lowest possible rates compatible
with official integrity and ability. How is
it to-day? Tho people aro not prosperous;
tho smoke of the furnace has ceased to indi
cate a busy community; tho noiso of tho
forgo is succeeded by tho'cry of tlio operative's
wife and children for bread, while the visit
of tho tax gatherer leaves behind almost as
barren a waste as tho visit of tho dreaded
grasshopper to tho fertile plains of tho West.
Why is this ? Ono great nnd controlling
reason is tho enormous tax which our law
makers deem it necessary to levy in order to
maintain a host of idle officials in sinecure
offices. Another is tho equally enormous in
creaso in tiio legitimate expenses of main
taining our governments, municipal, Stale
and National. For fifteen years this increase
has been goingon year by year hcroalittlo
and there a little until to-day it costs one
hundred nnd twcnly-fivo per cent, more to
to pay tho legitimate expenses ol tho Stato
Government as administered by John F.
Hartranft than it did ten years ago to main
tain that ot Audrew G. Ciirtin. Tlio con
trast would bo still more btriking between
the administrations of W. F. Packer, tlio
last Democratic Governor, and that of Gov.
Hartranft ; but becauso Curtin's was tho
first Republican administration in the State,
and, to all appearances, Hartranft's bidsfalr
to bo the lost, wo select tlio expenses of tho
two to Illustrate our point. Thus wo find
that tlio second year of Curtin's administra
tion cost tlio peoplo $110,028.87. This was
less than ? 10.000 more than tho coat of tho
second year of his immediate Democratic
predecessor, Gov. Packer, and can bo readily
accounted for by tho fact that tlio country
was ina stato of war, and tho finances in a
stnto of inflation. Four years after, Gov,
Geary, during Ills second year, cost the tax
payers $815.039.89 an increaso of nearly
ono hundred per cent., and that, too, when
war had ceased, and business prices had
commenced to assuiuo their normal condl
lion. But great as this Increase was it is but
a drop in tlio bucket to that which tlio sec
ond ycai, 1871, of Hartranft, tho last, over
the second year of C'urtln, tho first, of our
Republican Governors. 'I liming to tho Alt
dltor General's report of that year wo find
that it cost tlio tax-payers no less tlian$l.-
0'JR.irj3.fi3 to cancel t hob is Hartranft's ad
ministration stands responsible for. This is
twenty-fife per cent more than the expensivo
lieary co:t us, and ono iiiiniucu unci iwe-uiy-fivo
per cent, mere than tlio cost of Curtin.
In fact tho luliiilnlstrallon of Hartranft for
one year tost as much as Curtin's required
in two years, and leaves a surplus of 18U,-
rol, i to spare. r.rie vunerccr.
,A candid Topokacorrespondciitoftlio 7V74-
tine says thero nro two kinds of liars In Kan
sas. Tho first aro tho speculators in land,
who hopo to grow rich by the Immigration
thoy can Induco. Thoy exnggernto tho ro
sources of tlio Stato and endeavor In hide
real calamities. Thoy nro represented as tho
ones who have ruined bo many small farmers
from tho east, by piirsundlng them to buy
barren land in Kansas, The other class nro
toshowho never work, to whom locusts or any
thing else (hut brings or scuds destitution
and distress aru a god-send. They would
like to havo grasshoppers every year, and it
was to them that eastern contributions for
grasshopper sufferers where sent lost wlutcrY
Kansas must bo a nice place in which to
live.
Republican rulo luw always boon expen
sive, and when compared with Democratic
rule the cost of carrying on our Stale gov
ernment seems almost Incredible. Let us
look nt tho figures asofficlally reported. Du
ring the last Democratlo Stato Administra
tion (1S.V.)) the following appropriations

But this was In tho good old Democratlo
times of inoderalo salaries, In thoso days
men wero elected to offico lo look after tho
Interests of tho peoplo, but In theso degeno
rato times tho high offico of Chief Magis-
rnto of tho Commonwoallh of Pennsylva
nia Is looked upon ns n short road to wealth
and luxury, In 1873 and 187-1 tho petty of
ficials and camp followers of Hartranft s ad
ministration drew more money from tho pub
lic treasury than sufficed to pay tho wliolo
expenses of tho State department in 1850,
Tim Is n Btartllng assertion, but tho olhcial
report shows It to bo truo and it cannot bo
contradicted. Tho record is as follows :

people paid 111.000 more for tho clerk hire.

tary or deputy secretary of tho common

administration for tho whole expenses of tin
executive department. Including tho cover
norV salary and tho salaries of tho secretary
and denutv secretary of tho commonwealth.
Addiinrtho s.ihirliM to tho dill'ercnco in favor
of democratic administration it will boshown
that tho pooplo pay $20,000 extra for tl
nrivileco of liavintr Governor Hartranft ns
their chief executive officer. HarrUburg
Patriot.
Scranton is singularly .fortunalo or unfor
tunate in having doublo headed officers. Not
long ngo it had two District Attorneys; n
littlo later it had two School Boards, two
Superintendents and two Treasurers ; then
camo two Mayors, botli claiming to bo in nu
thority, nnd now tho city is blessed or cursed
by too Chiefs of Police. If a pcoplo can be
governed badly by being governed too much
tho taxpayers and sojourners in Scranton
must find it out after nwhllc. Kichamjc,
Tax-Pavi:iis, Rr.inl With n constant
surplus in tho Treasury of over ono million
dollars for twelve years, there is no credit to
tlio Stato for a dollar of interest. What
greater right has tho State Treasurer to ap
propriate interest accruiing on moneys in
tlio Sinking ruud than interest on the rati
roail bonds belonging to tlio same fund?
Excerpts and News Items from Exchanges,
The Reading Jvmle puts it in this shape: "If
there is nothing wrong in the management of
the State Treasury, it is very strange that the
parties in charge of it so strenuously oppose
any investigation."
It is about an even chance whether tho re
publican voto in Kentucky will bo more or less
than tho democratic majority.
The republican papers are very snaring of
their mention of Hartranft and Itawle. After
it has been announced that Gov. Uartrnnfl was
in the war, and was auditor general, and is gov
ernor, and that Mr. Rawle lives nt Erio and is
running for State Treasurer, eulogiuin is ai n
stand still. The subject has been exhausted,
Auditor General Temple has secured to the
Stato Treasury for tho months of May and June
this year $355,179,00 more than was paid to lit
predecessor for tho same months last year.
S 100.000 nvear is tho average amount csti
(mated lo have been cniticzzlcd by Pennsylvania
,'Stato Treasurers during tho past twclvo years,
And yet the Republicans ask for campaign issue,
The people of Ibis Slate look lo Auditor
General Temple as one public servant who is
willing and able to do his duly honestly for the
good of the taxpayers of tho commonwealth
In fifteen years of Radical management tho
yearly east of tho Stale government has run iqi
from an aggregato of S IOS.007.-10, in 1859, to
$1,011(1,153,03 in 1874. in other words, publicofli
cials strew two dollars out of tho public Treasury
now for every one dollar thoy received in tlio
day of honest administration.
