DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.
Tho Democracy of Pennsylvania met
in Convention at Ilarrisburg on Wed
nesday. Chairman Ilensel called tho
mooting to ordor at 10:30. R. P. Al
len was chosen temporary chairman.
Hon. Jacob Turnoy of Westmoreland
was elected permanent chairman, and
made a ringing speech. Conrad B.

Stato Treasurer, and then after the
adoption of tho platform, and a

Betraoting Campaign Assertions.
Wo clip tho following item from
tho Washington Jlejmblican.
"Tho prospects tor tho comln? season Indlcato
unusual activity In trade. Washington mer
chants aro providing themselves with ample
stocks to meet tho expected demand, knowing fun
well that present prices aro rulUng at tho vory
lowest quotations and that any change trom them
will bo an advance. This stato of affairs naturally
gives buyers such conMcnco as Induces thorn to
purchase largely."
This is quito a remarkablo admission,
for a Blaino on?an to make. Tho'
Democratic Administration is not sis
months ohfyet, and this samo paper
was among those that predicted that
the success of tho democratic party
would ruin tho country. Now "thoy
aro compelled to admit that thero was
nothing in their ante-election attempt
to influonco tho labor vote. Tho busi
ness of the country is no w'orso than
it was for many years under ropubli-
uau ,mv, auu n any rcnanco can bo
placed on tho prediction of such papers
as tho above, it is slowly improving.
He Went.
Mr.
Montgomery, tho now Commis
Bioner of Patents, whilo engaged in
"turning tho rascals out," decapitated a
messenger in nts bureau who had been
in oflico for several years without doing
mucn ot anything to cam his salary.
Upon receiving his discharge ho mado
a great ado over it, and insisted that
uio axo had fallen on tho wrong nock.
IIo was a Democrat, he said, and had
always been a Democrat ; had voted
the ticket straight at every election,
and stood by his party oven in tho face
of discharge by a Republican Admin
istration. Mr. Montgomery looked
him over and then.called for tho letters
of recommendation upon which ho was
originally appointed.
"You aro a Domoerat, aro you t"
"Yes sir," replied the man.
"And always havo boen f"
"Always."'
"Then you aro discharged for false
hood and for obtaining an oflico under
falso pretences. In this application
for appointment filed fivo years ago
jou stato that you aro a Republican,
no ouo but Republicans endorsed you,
and every ono of them commends you
as a faithful and useful member of
that party. You can go."
Thero aro a good many department
clerks turning up who havo always
been Democrats, but this example has
assisted to mako such pretonsions un
popular.
An Interesting Eeview.
IM WHICH THE CIIANOm Of M.VU. UK It
VICI. T 1 1 A NS 1 0 ItT ATI ON AUK OONSIDEIt
Kl A VKTKKAN'S ACCOUNT.
Mr. John Jamieaon, tho jjeneral
superintendent of tho railway mail ser
vice, Hinilod as ho leaned back in his
chair and thought of tho difTcrenco bo
tweon thu way wo distribute now and
tho way it was douo before tho
war. "Yes," said ho, "things seem to
have changed since tho days whoti tho
mail bag used to bo received into one
coi ner of tho baggago car at Washing
ton and thrown out by tho baggage
master nt Baltimore or Now York, just
as ho received it. In thoso days the
railway car that carried tho mail was
not a railway postoflice, with its staff
of buy clerks, as it is now. Tho rail,
road did nothing but transport tho
bags from ono eity to another. No
opicial at the postoflice went along
cither to guard and protect them or in
uny M ay to handlo them on tho way.
"Tho distribution then usod to bo
done at a stationary oflice, and it was
very blow work, too; now thero is com
paratively littlo of tho work of distri-
bulioii dono at tho receiving oilloes
there is no timo for that. Tho letters
nnil jweknges ot all sorts aro thrown in
mail oars and tho work of distribution
is dnnn on tho ears whilo they aro fly
ing along tho rails at full speed on tho
way between the sender and tho ad
dresser. At present thero aro about
4300 or MOO railway postal clerks in
tho United States always on the road
and limy nt this work.
"You havo been familiar with the
workings of tho railway mall service
fur a long time f
"Yes I havo been connected with it,
I may say, sinco tlio beginning Tho
i nil way osloilleo has grown up within
tho past twenty years, and I was on
tho road for moro than twclvo of thera. I
It was twenty years ago that tho rail
way postoflloo took tho place of tho
old distributing olHccs. You know
certain postofllccs, designated for tho
purpose, used to rcccivo and collect
tho malls both in largo parcels and scp
nrato pack ago from various points for
particular regions of country, aud then
dlstributo them to tho various places
to which thoy wcro addressed. Theso
woro called distributing oftlccs, and
served as landmarks to cuido tho
course of tho mails to distant points,
Thoy received them in bulk from tho
mailing officetsatid after assorting them
witli regard to their rcspcctlvo desti
nation, dispatched thorn by rail In
cliarco of tho bactzaco master.
"This system of assorting in tho sta
tionary oftlco was a slow prooes. Whilo
tho work was moving slowly on timo
it ' - - - -- 1 , 1 1
waa living nun bo wcro mo .rnuroau
cars, but the mall was standing still
tho samo place. Twenty years ago it
ocourcd to somebody that tho work of
distribution could bo done on tho rail
road car whilo it was flying along
to
Us destination, and thus tho work was
removed from tho distributing offices.
Railway postal clerks or, as thoy woro
then oallod, route agents, took their
places.' At first tho number of hands
were comparatively small. During tho
first year or two their number was not
abovo 800 or 400 tor tho wholo count
ry, but now thero aro moro than ten
times that number constantly
engaged, sometimes thero aro as many
as sixteen clerks aboard a singlo train
going from Now York city.
"On an avcrago a railway postal
clork works about fourteen hours
a night for six consoautive nights, then
ho has six nights oil. Tho men who
go from Washington to New York to
night, will return with tho mail train
trom .Now York to Washington to
morrow night, and will keep on going
between the two cities night after night
then thoy rest lor tbo next six. Un
tho through mail to St. Louis ono sot
of mc-n work from Baltimore to Graf
ton, whero thoy aro relieved by anoth
or set, who proceed to Cincinnati, and
a third relay tako up tho work thero
and go to St. Louis. This is how all
tho through lines aro managed. Ono
sot of men always travel between tho
samo two points.
"Carrying tbo mails is not tho lun it
used to bo in tho old coaching days T.
"No ; thero was no room for a staff
of distributing oierks on tho old atagos.
Why, sometimes tnoro wasnt ovon
room enough for tho mails. When
peoplo began to bo numorous and tho
number of letters increased, nod es
pecially when tho nowspapors began
to bo lormidablo both in size and
weight- -formidable, I mean, for a two
horso stage. You know tho roads woro
nono too good, and when tho oid ma
chino got stuok in a holo it was quite
the custom to hcavo tho mails, especial
ly tho newspapers, which woro twenty
or thirty times tho weight and sizo of
tuo lotters, overboard, so that tbo pas
sengers might havo room, and tho stago
with its lighter buruon might trudge
on. But tbo stages were independent
institutions, it was only at their own
convenience that they would tako tho
mail. Tho money had a good deal to
do with tho matter. You know tho
stago would not tako tho letters until
a sufficient number of them had accu-
mulatcd to pay expenses, and often
thoy might lay in a postofiico for weeks
before Mr. Stagey would think tho
quantity sufficient to trouble with.
'And when tho railroads camo into
uso fifty years ago thoy were vory littlo
better for speed or regularity j in fact
tho stages beat tho railroads for somo
time. In tho last years of tho coach
ing period, you know, tho distance be
tween Philadelphia and New York was
covered in six hours, being at tho rate
of fifteen miles an hour, whereas for
tho first week or so tho railroads com
plained that eleven miles an hour was
too mucn to ask tor tuo .money. As a
matter of fact tho stages kept tho mails
from the railroads for a good whilo on
a score of speed. Howover, it was but
a short time, and tho stago had to go.
But thirty yoars ago 300 routo agents
and 31 local agents performed all tho
work required in handling tho mail
for tho wholo country.
"Do you know that at present moro
than 120 tons of mail matter leavo
Now York city every day t Somo
years ago, when a great deal of the dis
tribution was dono in tho city oftioe,
tho work fell behind, and there was a
great accumulation of paper mails on
certain days of each week-. Tho de
partment then arranged with tho pub
lishers to scparato their mails by statos,
and by this means tho block was en
tirely overcome. At present ono-half
of tho newspaper mail received at the
Now York oflico for distribution pass
es through it intact to tho railway
oflico."
Indorsing the Administration.
Notwithstanding tho effort that is
boincr mado bv its nolitiaal onnonents
to crcato tho impression that n deep.
sealod dissatisfaction witli tho Admin
istration exists in the Democratio par
ty, tho indications upon which an im
pression on tho subject may bo formod
uru juti tnu opposite, anu oucourago
the Administration with tho assuranco
that it has tho good will and wishes of
tho party as a mass. Within tho last
week it has been indorsed by tho Dcm.
ocrals of tho New Hampshire Legisla
ture, by tho iJcmocratio btato Commit
tee of Now York, and by tho Demo
crats of Iowa, Mississippi and Ohio in
Stato Conventions assembled. Theso
expressions were not half hearted and
perfunctory, but thoy were and, it may
almost bo said, enthusiastic indorse
ments of tho course tho Administra
tion has so far pursued.
Indued there could bo no reason why
this should not be so. It is very natu
that a public officer who is evidently
trying to do hie duty aud whose course
is marked by honesty and sincerity of
purpose, should receive tho lavorablo
consideration aud earnest support of
those who place him in position. It is
difficult to see how any Democrat can
withhold his cordial approval of tho
present Administration, although ho
may think that somo things havo been
dono that should havo been done othor
wiso or left undone. Such objections
do not extend te matters that touch
thu solid principles of the party, or af
fect tho allegiance which Democrats
believe to bo duo to an honest and con
scientious Administration oi their own
choosing.
Tho kind of support tho President
is rcceivingshould bo especially gratify
ing and encouraging to him, for' it
ovinces tho sincere friendship of nien
who nro not willing that difference of
opinion as to unessential points of pol.
ioy should interfere with their approv
al of his ooursc in sustaining tho more
essontial principles of good govern
ment. So far tho party hat allowed
no opportunity of publio oxprcssion to
pass without an rmphatlo and hearty
indorsement of tho President, This
wcok tho Democracy of Pennsylvania
will add their voice to tho volume of
commendation that is justly duo an
honest adiuinistratiou. J'atrht,

Mr. W. M. King, that new chief of
tho Seed Division at tho Agricultural

sending out wheat and ryo. A now
kind of wheat, which Mr. King calls
the Houghton farm variety, ho expects
a great deal from. Ho thinks it is ono

sending out a now variety of turnip
seed into tho South also. Four varie
ties of Italian wheat have recently
been received at tho Department, whic
will bo distributed to the experiment
stations.
Tho reported breacli between tho
Presidont and Mr. Tilden has fallen
very flat. Few persons took any stock
in its truth, and as was very likely tho
expectation of its author, somebody
elso will probably tako Mr. Tilden s
