Tlio members of the Democratic Standing C uninittefl of Columbia coun ty nro requested to muot at tho Ex change Hotel, Bloormburg, Saturday, March 22nd, 1881, at two o'clock P. Mi for the purpose of selecting delegates to attend tlio Statu Convention to bo bold at Allenton, April Olli, 1881. F. S. KhNi'OitTs, Geo tin n A. Claiik, Seo'y. Chairman. National Colored Convention. Rev. 0. S. Smith, of Bloomington, Illinois, chairman of the colored Btato cential committee has been in Pitts, burg to complete arrangomonts for tho national colored convention to bo held ' there in April. Smith says tho con vention will bo in etssion several days and at tho secret session will adopt an address demmding recognition from, tho people for tho better protec tion of tho colored race in tho couth. Tho address will bo issued purposely before the national conventions and 'tho colored peoplo will wait to seo what is done. About 250 delegates will be present. Democratic National Convention. WHO ABE UKUt.Y TO SELECTED AND OTHERS WHO WANT TO HE. Tho national rules of tho Democratic party, ko those of tho Republicans, fix tho number of delegates to tho National Convention at twice tho num ber of congressmen nnd senators. Penn sylvania, having two senators nnd ono congressman -at-large, is, therefore, en titled to six delegates-at-largo to each Nantional Convention besides tho two delegates of each party from each con gressional district. For the six Democratic delegates-at-large, from Pennsylvania there is quito a list of candidates. Three names . which aro almost certain to bo chosen aro Villiam F. Ilarrity, ex-chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic Com mitlee, and State Senators Cox, of Lu zorne, and Wallace, of Clearfield. The choico of Mr. Hanity may now bo con sidered as certain to be made, because Philadelphia will be conceded one deie-gato-at-large, and Mr. Harrity's sup port by tho Philadelphia members of the Stalo Convention, whohare already been chosen, is piactically solid. Of the sixty nine Philadelphia Democrats who havo been seleoted to go to tho Allontown Convention, the support of forty-five is positively assured to Mr. Harrity, not to mer.tion many others '.whoso friendship for' him is so well known that pledges aro unnecessary. Moreover, his namo is being received with favor throughout tho State, and Hazleton has already declared its pre ference for him. Tho rank in the party councils of both Mr. Wallace and -Mr. Coxo is such as to make their election almost a matter of course. Tho other candidates for delegate-at-largo aro Robert E. Monaghan, of Chester ; Benjamin Whitman and William L. Scott, of Erie ; Congressman at-Largo Mortimer F, Elliot, of Tioga j ex State Senator Robert P. Allen, of Ly coming j William Souder, of Lehigh j Georgo W. Erwin, of Dauphin ; Editor Benjamin F. Myers, of Dauphin, and Editor James P. Barr and Malcolm Hay, of Allegheny. Chairman W. U. Ilensol, of the Democratic State Com mittee,, who could bo a delegate-at-largo if ho wished, has refused to let Lis namo go before the State Conven tion. The Momson Bill. PENNSYLVANIA KEMOCRATIO CONGRESS MEN CONFIDENT OK ITS DM'EAT. Washington, March 3. Chairman Morrison, of tho Ways and Means Committee, held a conference to-day with Henry Watterson and Charles NordhofT. It has been discovered that tho Morrison bill can't pass. Tho moro it is emasculated tho less attractive it becomes. Somebody must bo held re sponsiblo for the failure of the Freo Traders to redeem their pledges and who more appropriately than Mr. Ran dall T It is true ho has not lifted a fin ger to prevent tariff legislation, but ho will vote against the bill, and ho has a following, somi'thiug that Mr. Morri son greatly needs. Mr. Randall will not opposo tho Tariff bill witli an Appropriation bill. Mr. Randall and his Democratic- sup porters beliovo that tho best polioy for Jho party is to defeat tho Tariff bill as promptly and effectually as possible, and they make no concealment of their intention to oontributo to that end j but thoy deny any collusion with Re publicans. They believe that all di versity of sentiment in the party can bo terminated and harmony can be re stored by killing the Tariff bill. Mr. Post of Pennsylvania, secretary of tho Democratic caucus said to a im porter to-day that ho had no doubt that tho Morrison Tariff bill would bo de feated. He said it would oreep into the HoubC very soon and bo carried, out. "I don't know of nny organized op. position to tho bill ; but there are enough Democrats who will vote against it to defeat it. Tho voto will be governed by ii'dvyidiml opinion and tliu bill he overwhelmingly defeated. The sooner it-gets in thu llnu-o and Is disposed of the better. I think tho matter will be settled immediately. Tho oorpso will ho carried out, nnd tho Democratic party will carry the conn try on tho Ohio plaiform." Mr. Hopkins said that ho know of no consultation with tho Republicans, concerning tlio defeat of tho Morrison bill, nor had he heard of any dinciimion ot tlio matter nmongthuDi'iivicratH. He hud no deiiiii however, he said, that the bill would bo defeated, and should certainly voto against it. CCS Senator W. W. Hart is mentioned ns a delegate the democratic national con vention. Tho selection of delegates to tlio Democratic Statu Convention nt Allen town will bo made by tho county com mittee. The call of tho Chairman ap pears in this issuo. Thero should bo a full attendance of committeemen. Tho promiso of steady work and high wages to laboring mon is not likely to avail the republican party much In tho coming campaign. If a republican administration can effect such a result why don't they do it now t Nobody will find fault with them if thuy begin at once. THE PROPOSED NAVY. A bill has passed tho SenUu provid ing for tho construction of seven new sti el vesxcls lor the navy. This bill was introduced by Senator Hale, a per sonal friend of Seeretary Chandicr, nnd tho Harrisburg 1'atrlot charges that tho real object of tho bill is to create a campaign fund to distribute for tho benefit of tho republican party, through tho disbursing agency of William E. Chandler. From 1701 to 18G1 tho appiopiia'ton- lor tho navy amounted to SiWCyllW.UOIJ, but since "l8(30 the ie publican n.lmi durations have expend ed 83S5,00U,U0D for th same purpose, and ct ihe u itiou po-eses to-day a navy that is tho laughing stock of the world. What is tho necessity just now for seven now vessels t Has not tho country got enough tugs and schooners nnd yachts on hand to supply thu de mands of cabinet officers during the fashionable summer season ! Wo ngreo with thu Patriot that this piopo-dlion to put several millions ot dollars in tlio hands of W. E. Chandler just at tho beginning of the Presidential campaign, looks somewhat suspicious.

Sec, 2. All acts inconsistent with this act are hereby repealed. Approved the" 1st day of June, A. D. 1883. ROBT. E PATTISON. EEFORM. It would bo unfair to attempt to pre judice tho public mind against candi dates who personally solicit votes, at this limw, and it would also bo unfair for voter, to refuse to voto for any mao who asks for support simply because ,of such request. For years this custom has prevailed, and it is now generally understood that any man who does not travel and ask for votes cannot get them. Within recent years two can didates havo entered the field with tie positive announcement that they would not make a personal canvass, and in both instances this determination was rigidly adhered to. There was noth ing personally objectionable about either of these gentleman, and they were entirely competent to fill tho pohi tions to whioh they aspired, but what was the result ? These candidates were overwhelmingly defeated by those who went from houso to house, and from field to field. It has therefore been demonstrated that tho aspirant who stays at home stands no chance as against those who travel. Whoso fault is it, that such is tho case t It cortainly is not for pleasure that the candidate spends a couple of months in going through the townships in all kinds of weather. Ho has his horse hire, his traveling expenses, his loss of time, which of themselves make no inconsiderable) amount. But those aro tlio least of his expenditures. By the custom ot tho country ho is com pelled to stop nt every tavern and treat the crowd, nnd then in order that no ono may be offended he is expected to leave a few dollars at each bar to "set 'em up for thu toys" who do not happen to be present juit then. Be sides this tliu township workers, tho men who nro supposed to have tho most influence nt the polls in their re spective districts, must be seen and won over to tho cause of tho aspirant. Tlieso men in many instances, (fortu nately thero aro somo oxoeptions) must havo mono for their timo and inliu ence, others must bo paid for hauling voters to tho polls on the day of elec tion, and so it goes, a few dollars hero and a few there, until when tho can vass is over the candidate finds him self defeated, and perhaps iu deb, for money borrowed to meet tho require nients of the campaign ; or if nominat ed, ho finds that it will take ono or two y. ars' salary, or perhaps all his term of office is worth to make up what he has spent in securing it. As wo said in the beginning, it would not be fair now to refuso to vote for the eandiduto who aiks for votes. It is not hi- fault that ho does it. It is the fault of the people, who compel him to pursue this course. Tho pun pie have permitted it until it has be como n necessity, and any attempt at leform must bo made by tho peoplo first. Just ho .v to bring about a change in this matter is a difficult problem. Let tho pooplo tako it in hand, and dis cuss it, and all democrots who havo views on tho subject that ihey consider woitli making public havo tho priviloge of our columns Start the ball rolling now, and perhaps Hiuu'thing may bo accomplished that will benefit candi dates and peoplo alike THE COLUMBIAN AND Cooper's Motive- Tho Jicllcfonte Watchman has dim covered the animus of Thomas V. Cooper In his refusal to allow his par ty to apportion tho State into oongrcs sional districts How made nnnnrent. By liis nnd their rofnstal to perform a constitutional duty it will bo nrceaary for tho peoplo of Pennsylvania to auniu elect a Congressman-at-Large, and Mr. Senator Coopor is a candidate for tho Republican nomination, and expects the honor to bo nwarded him. This proves that It was not tho Intel est of tlio people, nor oven his party especial ly, that ho was looking at inthi Senttto last winter and summer, but his own personal Interest. Ho know that if the apportionment could be postponed, the State would havo to choose n Congress-nian-nt Large, nnd lie deliberately de termined 111 ut, the Republican Senate should not agree to any proposition tho Demooints might make, no mutter how liberal or how fair and just. He suc ceeded in carrying that determina tion into effect, and tho sequel is beforo us. Mr. Cooper is a can didate for tho position of Stnto Con gressman, nnd expects to bo nominated nod elected. So much for his patriot ism j his (lisititerc-aednes, his care fur tin' interests of the dear people. The Watchman thinks Cooper is entitled to the nomination on neuouut of tho dirty political work ho has dono for his party. Dio Lewis on Prohibition. Dio Lewis, the originator of tho wo man's crusado in Ohio, and who has been an ardent prohibitionist foi years, has ohanged his mind as to the efficacy of prohibition making men temperate, lie says : "Of tlo success of prohibi tion in tho state of Massachusetts I was a constant, nnd attentive observer for twenty years. At first public sen ment in its favor was very strong. Earnest temporanco men wrote tho hw. The legislature passed it with out changing a word. Soon it was dis covered that it did not cover every case, and it was amendod. Several times it was amended, until tho cunning of the Evil Ouo could find no possible escape from its provisions. This prohibitory law was not allowed to take Ub ohunces with other laws, but a large number of selected men known as state constables, with headquarters iu Boston, wero for years on the qui vivo for transgres sions of prohibition. They weru sworn to enfoico that law. Our tax payers knew that a largo percentage of their taxes sprang from tho rum traffic; we knew that nearly all crimes origi nated in strong drink ; every father know that his eon's success and his daughter's happiness wero imperiled by tho traffic, and wo all know that the success of our republican institutions was endangered in strong drink. Un der all these overwhelming convictions, sustained by an immense force of Btato constables, there wero iu Boston at the end of twenty-four years of prohibition including those drug stores where drinks could be purchased without dif ficulty, grocers, many of which sold by tho drink and all of which sold !by tho bottle, and the saloons almost five thousand, places where intoxicating drinks could bo purchased without let or hindrance. Aud this is tlio most law abiding largo city in our country. All the considerations, all the conceiva ble motives that could inspire an intel ligent, brave community, were, concen trated in Boston. Yet in this city the law' was violated more than three hun dred thousand times a day, or more than two million times ia week, aud tliu average punishment for the olliense was not more than one arwcok." Tne Commercial Yoters- It is asserted and believed by well in formed persons that in Lancaster City, the old homo of Buchanan and Stu vens, about cne-tbird of all tho voters on boll) sides can bo bought with imln ey, directly and indirectly; and at prices, varying from fifty cents up" to ten dollars, according to character aud quality I Of coumo this startling amount of cor ruption is not confined to ono party, and unless the good and honest men of both parties resolve that the system of wholesale and retail vote buying shall stop, it will continue for an inde finite period. Lancaster is not the only locality where votes aro bought and' sold. It is no secret that we have "free and in dependent American citizens" in this and all tho adjoining counties, who aro constantly in the market and for sale to tlio highest and best bidders. Whenever campaign committees invest largir sums in certain districts than are necessary to meet tho proper and lawful expenses of the campaign, it means buying and Belling votes gen erally through small political middle men, contractors and brokers. As long as ono party resorts to tho infamous system thu other is compelled to como down with tho cash or submit to de feat. And wo believe that in case the several parties spend about tho same amount of money in the vote markets, tho chances aro" that, after all. eaoh party only succeeds iu buying up its own scalawags and bummers, and if so, it seems to us there should be no ser ious difficulty in breaking up tho dis graceful practice on botli sides. Suppose tho good and honest men of both parties and there nro many such would confer together and resolve that thu voto buying business shall bo broken up, and offer and pay liberal rewards to those who would furnish information sufficient to convict all guilty of the infamous traffic. A few dozen of suoh convictions would go far to euro the evil. Honest men on both sides thus organized in overy county, simply to enforco tho law and send criminals to tho penitentiary would mnke voto buying a vory dangerous as well as-dissjracoful busiuess. But, un less tho effort is made by bold, earnest and honest men, both parties will be moro or less at tho mercy of the politi cnl corrnplionists and voto brokers. Mauch Chunk Democrat.
