of the redoubtable Harry that we can

edification of our readers. Here it is:
"fieaeral Vhiteisan importunate, chronic
political expectant, with considerable im
practical ability find little fitness for sncees,
and lie lias been thumped trotu post to pillar

docile eiinuph to submit to it. He entered
the Senate early in the war, and minpled

in the field, and was held in Lihhy for a long

exchanged lie discovered that lie had resign-
el his seal in the Senate, and that Dr. St.
Clair was his successor. He narrowly es-
taped in a content for renomination, and '
remrned to the Senate, where he served I
three I'n 1 1 terms. In 1872, as he conliln t
I decide whether h most, wanted togotoCon-
gress or to the Constitutional Convention as
j lelepate-at-lai ce, lie was nominated for botli
; places by the Kepnbliean State Convention,
aiul when the Martrantt storm came he
threw up Congress and stood for the Con

position on either sine. He served in both
the Senate and Con vent ion at the same time,

that the parly wouldn't give him the nom

ation for Congress in a decided Kepnbliean
district, and Mr. Jeucks defeased him by
over 5M) majority. Mr. Jeruks has proved
himself one uf tb ablest, and most efhVient

1 bination known as the Whiskey King,
; not forgetting to reveal Grant's sym
j pathy with the members, if not his
i approval and encouragement of the
doinrrs, of that infamous triumvirate.
His testimony abo disclosed the fact
that Grant was as "mad as a March

nefarious ring, that the ollicial com

prosecution of the consj irators engaged
j in these wholesale frauds upon the
revenue. More than this, if not worse
than this, lie testified that Horace
Porter had explained to him that the

signed several of his crooked whisky
dispatches, was the synonym for a
, "lewd woman with whom the President

trickery and fraud by which the nomination
of Hayes was procured at Cincinnati ;
NOMINATION OF HAYES AND WHEELER AT
CINCINNATI.
When the doles ates from this State to
the late Cincinnati convention were select
ed, it was reported that an arrangement
was made with I ho administration, that the
delegates chosen should bo transferred to
Conkling, in return for the appointment of
I loll t nmemll IO UC cjccremiy
There was such an odor of improbability,
and iacalitv of course, in the thimr, that
vre could not credit it. And so we said at
the time. We did not believe that Simon
Cameron was so utterly prolligaie, and
capable of such a crime against the Ilopub
lican party of the State. Bat what was
then slated as a fact turns out lo be true
or something like a prophecy. Time has
confirmed i's truth, and what was agreed
on at Ilanisbuig lias been carried out at
Cincinnati. First, Don Cameron almost
instantly was appointed Secretary of War,
and the rest followed in order.
Of course, an act so dishonest, having in
it all the elements of a national conspiracy
to sell the KepuMicans of the State for a
cabinet office required a cunning device
and hidden machinery. The trick could
be played in only one way : that is, by put
ting the delegates to the Cincinnati conven
tion in a position t; be handed over in a
body. To ibis fnd a rule was adopted by
which the rotes of all the delegates were to
bo voted by the chairman, to which olfice
),yi Cameron, now Secretary of War, was
jipp0inted. The representative districts
weje alluj, jlated, and Don Cameron, at
.. ,m.n rmtw-rPrt lo cast the solid
his own will, empowered to cast the solid
vote of all. Thus he was authorized to cast
the fifty-eight votes of Pennsylvania for
whom he pleased, and in defiance of the
fifty-eight individual delegates, restricting
him to casting them f.r Ilartranft, except
upon twenty of the fifty-eight delegates
demanding a conference iu which a major
ity could instruct him to vote tho fifty-eight
votes for such candidate as such majority
should direct. A maj uily of tho delegates
were for Bl.tine, and a conference was de
manded, after the second ballot at Cincin
nati. Bat Cameron refused to grant it.
when our delegate, Mr. Andrew Stewart,
John H. Hampton and two other delegates
defied Don Cameron and voted for Blaine.
The Blaine men, if permitted to vote, could
and would, at any time before the seventh
ballot, have nominated him. They were
held in complete rcstiaint and duress, tak
ing in fact no part in the contest, until
Morton's, Conkling's, Hayes' and Bristow's
friends had fully tested their ability to unite
on any one of themselves, and liunliy came
to an agreement to vote as they pleased,
when the slaves were let looso from their
slave baracooi. and where their votes were
rendered worthless during their confiac
ment. Never were dm;. ken or renegade
voters more firmly cooped ami held from
the polls. In no oilier way could the State
lie deprived of its vote in the Cincinnati
convention, and in that way alone could
Blaine be defeated and the Coiikliugs auj
the New York money brokers, free-traders
and gold gamblers, nominate their man.
A laiiro majority of delegates were for
Blaine, and had they been unleashed from
their chains, would at any time have nom
inated Blaine. New York could have car
! lied their man and measure only by tramp
i bug tho vote of Pennsylvania out of exist
i ence. No man denied that a vast majority
i of the liepublicans of Pennsylvania were
for Biaine. No man date deny that lie
was tho choice of n vast majority of the
Republicans of the United States. On the
first ballot ho had the majority of 2-"of the
47 States and Territories. Bri.stow had 11
States, or a majority of their delegates.
Hayes had one Slate (Ohiol. Morton, six
States and Territories ; Conkling, two

That Mr. Blaine was tho choice of a ma
jority of the Bepublicans of the United
States, not even Don Cameron, or the most
impudent of those who cheated them out
of their rights, and subverted their will
haqe so far denied.
Thin was the sale of the State, by Don
Cameron, consummated. He paid for his
office by cooping the Pennsylvania delega
tion, except our own representative, Mr.
Andrew Stewart, John II. Hampton and
two others. By a trick of the most vilhan
ous depravity, the Republicans of Pennsyl
vania were cheated out of their votes, the
State laid prostrate uuder the feet of fiee-
traders and money-lending shylocks of
New York and their European co conspir
ators, and our laboring people subjected to
the plunder of the greediest, most heartless
aud most uupiinciplcd class of the world's
robbers.
The whole thing was a put-up job of
long standing. It was intended to rivet
and continue the Giant ring of office-holders
and tho Grant dynasty. Not even tho
talents nnd the admitted supeiioi ity of in
tellect of Mr. Blaine could savo tho admit
ted favorite of the people from sacrifice at
tho altar of Mammon. He was the head
commoner of the Union, but for that reason
he was the more hateful to tho monoy
power and associated family aristocracy.
It was because he rose from among the
common people that ho was the trore listed
and tho more prosecuted, pursued and re
viled. Wealth, family, the aristocracy of
both, hated hint with demon hatred, and
l.o has fallen before their associated vil
lainies. The nomination of Hayes was determin
ed by them months ago, Jrant having the
patronage and the 80,000 to DO.OOO office-
j. holders, stand ing through hisappoi;
I nt "ie dMr of the national treasury, I
itment
headed
me greeny ano aristocratic army an.t lie t
was the head and f rotit. of th conspiracy, i
The first indication of the selection of:
Hayes as their intended candidate was the
appointment as Secretary of War of an
Ohio man, Judge Taft. It was intended
to bring the patronage of that depailment
to bear on the Kcpuhhcans of
H-ives' '
State. But before lli.tt, Bristow, of Ken-

ants of the Grant dynasty now and then f There are twetity-foitr Catholic Total
in possession of" the power and offices of Abstinauee Societies m Iloston, numbering

of chance or claim for the nomination, like
Cameron and l?ristow was set up to keep
Blaine from carrying New York, and held
its delegates in hand for transfer to Hayes,
fto was Ilaitranft used to hold in hand the
delegates from Pennsylvania, avast major- j
ity of whose people were really tor iiiaine.
But by a trick, nnpiacticed by any other
State in the Union, the whole State repre
sentation were deprived of the right to vote
and Don Cameron,' the autocrat of the
hour, hold their ballots in his hind, and,
as if they were so many plantation negroes,
voted for them as their master and owner,
ami sold them as the auctioneer of a slave
baracoon. '
Was Gov. ITartranfta participant in this
natioual swindle, or was he the dupe of
Cameron ? lias he played the fool or the I
knave? Has he permitted his name to bo
used, h mself a soft money and tariff man '
the cmbodimentof Pennsylvania's inter- j
est and policy to foist Hayes, a free- .
trader and hard money man, into the Pies-
idency? AVhy should he do so? Hayes '
has less national standing and no more in- !
tellect or experience than Ilartranft. And !
yet, instead of a soft money protectionist,
he has beeH used to destroy Blaine, a
Pennsylvanian by birth, and in principle
and policy a Pennsylvanian, to foist into
the Presidency a free trader and an imme
diate specie lcsumptioniflt a New Yoiker
in principle in pl.tce of a Pennsylvanian.
New York hates Pennsylvania. She hates
her "p'2 iron" policy, as she derisively
styles it. It was only a few weeks ago that !
Hayes emphatically declared he was op
Ksed to the repealof the resumption act
that his only objection to it was that it was
nut sufficiently stringent, and did not com
pel the Secretary of the Treasniy to enforce
specie payments immediately. He wishes
no delay of thecrushing power of tho screw
press, even if, as it comes it pin our people
with its crushing power, it. forces the blood
through every pore of our bodies.
Mr. Hayes ami Grantisitt.
III POSITION AS TIIK CHOICE OF CAM File X,
CONKMNO, ANO MORTON DKMANO eK
IN DKPKX DKNT8 THAT II K SHOULD HKI'i;
DIATE T1IKM.
To the- Editor of the X. V. Tribune :
Sin In behalf of Republican voters
around me who desire reform in the ad
ministration of public affairs, I venture to j
ask Gov. Hayes, through you, for some
stronger assutance than his letter of ac
ceptance gives, that he will have an admin
istration fiee from those abuses which need
reform. As the party now stands, no liv
ing man, no matter what his private char
acter may be, can conic before this country
as the choice of such men as Cameron,
Conkling, Blaine, aud Grant, and be re
garded as in any sense a reformer. With
snob men around him what can he rlo ?
Honest as he may bo, no platform, no
pledges that he can give, are woith tho
paper they are written upon. Tho Camer
on, the Mortons, the Blaiucs, and the
Conkliiigs will reign over us again, nod
merely use his good name for their bad
purposes.
The honest voters in the Republican
I party want honest men in all high andjlow
places too. Wo want the party leaders
openly repudiated. Oiies G iv. Haves dare
to do this? Does be dare to denounce
these men? Does ho dare to cut loose
from them, and give us and them positive
assurance that his Cabinet will be filled
with such men as Biistow, Charles Francis
Adams, and others whom tho people can
trust, chosen from the narrow limits of no
party, but from tho honest and capable "f
all parties. Now is the time for him to do
this, and to trove himself the man for tlic
times. After he has been elected as the
tool of these men -vliicli Heaven forbid
the honor common among thieves would
forbid him from repudiating thorn, and he
must become one of them ; and they would
share the spoils 'wi'h him, Governor, do
you see it iu that light ? I do. And I am
only one of thousands and thousands of
pKir, honest tax-burdened, heart-sick far
mers. The Democratic pariy has set Re
publicans a good example. They mean re
form. Theirs is not idle talk. But loth
as I am to confess the country has from
them better assurance of good honest gov
ernment than Hayes can possibly give, un
less he is bold enough to cut looso fiom
Giant and the whole ship's crew of them,
and trust himself to the tide of honest in
dignation which can only bear the next
Presid-Mit into the "White House," and. re
move tho roblier tyrant's baud from the
honest freeman's purse. Yery respectfully
yours. Honkst Voter.

13-ing three miles up Sa wmill Bun, wr.s ter
ribly excited between one and two o'clock
on Saturday afternoon, by and explosion of
firo damp in Oray & Bell's coal mine.
Four men were working iu the pit, William
Eiscnhart, John Lisenhart (a son of the
former), Robert Campbell aud Joseph
Ncalc. As soon as tho smoke had been
dissipated a numbor of men cnteied tho
mine aud round the elead bodies of three of
the four. John Lisenhart, a lad of four,
teen years, wasalivo biufrightfully burned,
and is perhaps dead by this time, It was
thought he could not, possibly recover.
The bodies were all badiy burned except
that of W. M. Eisonhait. It is supposed
he inhaled flames, as the body was not dis
figured iu the least.
The bodies were taken to their respec
tive places of residence, and yesterday
morning Coroner M'Calliu held an inquest,
at which a verdict of accidental death was
rendered. It is supposed that tho acci
dent was caused by the Jamp carried by
Neale, who was a "trapper" in the pit, his
duty being tQ attend to the ventilation.
Lisenhart was forty-two years old and
leaves a wife and five children. He was
a brother of C. Lisenhart of tho Thirty
second ward. Campbell was seventeen
