Hadx't the Johnstown Tribune bet-
ter revise and amend its statement about '
the Erie Eicniwj lit mid being the only j
'Democratic paper in Northwestern I
Pennsylvania,"' etc? It is a discovery i
bv the editor of that paper for which he !
deserves a very large leather medal. '
A repcblican aspirant for nomina-
tion for Recorder of Deeds in rhiLiuel- j
phia retired in disgust from the canvas.s, j
for the reason, as he .says, that a candi- i
date for offlce in that city is expected to ;
have a silver mine at his back, a drink- i
ing capacity equal to that of the camel, j
and the ability to smoke like the slack !
of iin iron furnace. !
The Grand Jury of the District of
Columbia on Tuesday returned a true
bill against Charles J. Guiteati for the
murder of President Garfield. It is not
likely that his trial will be proceeded
with for several days yet. as his counsel,
Mr. Scoville, of Chicago, his brother-in-law,
will ask the Court to grant him a
reasonable time to prepare his defense.
A great deal of history has been
made in thiscountry during the past six- '
teen years. Two Presidents have been
assassinated ; one President has been
tried by impeachment; one term of the ;
Presidency has been filled by a man who
w. never elected, and two terms -.f the '
most corrupt administration in the his
tory of the country, followed after the
expiration of four years, by an unsuc
cessful effort to elevate its head to the
Presidency for a third term, in violation
of the unwritten and time-honored law
of the republic.
Four of the defendants in the Star
Iloute conspiracy cases Brady, French
Turner and Br.uvn appeared in the
Criminal Court at Washington on Tues
day and each entered into his own recog
nizance for his appearance on the fol
lowing day. The preliminary question
to be disposed of by the Court will bo a
motion to tie made by their counsel to
day (Thursday), to quash the informa
tion against, them filed by the District
Attorney. Hob Ingersoll is one of their
counsel and claims that they have com
mitted no offence, even if all the facts
alk'ged.agair.st them arc admitted.
If it be true, as is alleged in appar
ently well iufoimed circles, that when
Mr, Arthur i-it 1 New York Judge
Itoberlsoii, the Collector of the Port,
w ho may be literally said to have been
the pfime instigator in bringing about :
the defeat of Grant's aspirations for a
third term, and whose nomination to the
Senate last spring by President Garfield
for the office he now holds cau-ed the
rupture between Conkling and the Prcs- t
Mr '.it, and ultimatel the resignation of j
the Xew York Senator and that of
Piatt, his colleague if, we repeat, Col
lector Robert n called on President Ar
thur, Conkling's fast and never-failing
friend, and then and there made known
his desire of being retained in office, it
has about it the pleasant fragrance of
new-mown hay in June.
President Arthur went to New
York about the middle of last wee k and
returned to Washington on Tuesday of
tht present week. The p-irposc of his
visit, as he himself stated and as it was
published to the country, was to arrange
certain business matters with the other
members of the law firm w ith which lie
was connected. Admitting this to be
true, it is strange, passing strange that
in attending to a matter apparently so
easy of accomplishment, he should re
quire the united assistance of Senator
Jones, of Nevada. Grant's right-hand
man, of (riant himself, of the two Cam
eron's, sire and son, of "Black Jack,"
otherwise called John A. Logan, of Il
linois, and even of Billy Mahone. all of
whom were on hand to aid him in dis-
solving his law partnership. It may all
have been very innocent, but it has a
very ugly look, and is calculated to
etrike terror into the souls of the men
who under the leadership of Plaine and
Garfield throttled the third term mon
ster at the Chicago contention.
- ;
The personal relations between Gen-
eral Garfield and General Hancock were
nlways pleasant, and it will be remem
bered that the last, ofSleial act of Presid't
Garfield before he was shot was to sign
an oider, which Hancock had previous
ly requested, promot ing Colonel Mitch
ell, of General Hancock's staff, to an
Assistant Adjutant-Generalship in the
regular army. The President accom
panied the official document with a let
ter to General Hancock in his own hand
writing, conveying the warmest ex
pression of friendship and esteem. It is
gularfact that has never l-en made
a sin
public, says the New York World, that
nt the very moment when the President
was shot, General Hancock was writing
a reply to his letter thanking him in the
strongest terms for Colonel Mitchell's
pioruotlou. Ttie letter was about half!
a . , ', ,. , . ,
finished hen the General received a
dispalcu announcing tfie Shooting. lie
left it unfinished, and it yet remaii.s in
that condition. It is General Hancock's
intention at the proper time to present
Prident Garfield's letter and his own

The Republican county convention

Johnstown. 1 ms is a very nanny ana a
very accomodating way of setting up a
ticket, since it saves the candidates
from any expense in making a prelimi
nary canvass of the county, and relieves
the delegates from all responsibility to
their constituents. The candidates se
lected in the way we have mentioned, or
M least those for the most important offi
ces, are citizens of respectability so far as
we know them, but they have no ad van
tage in this respect over the Democratic '

j as the report of the proceedings states !

boss who edits the Johnstown Tribune.
wno s also tM( Postmaster of that place,
an1 w,, in P,ayin the Pr 'p n
i the convention violated Mr, Hayes7 cel-
ehrated civil service reform circular for !
h P"'f,il"Cn nf tnosp who
under him. We believe, however, it is
now regarded as being obsolete, at Last j
ir. this conntv. Does the editor of the
Tribune recollect of having said in his
paper dining the session of the Legisla
ture in 1870. and afterwards, that Kem
blo and all his partners ought to in
the pennitentiary ? Who stepped in be
tween Kemble and his confederates and
the penitentiary? The Pardon Board,
every member of which is identified with
Hoyt's administration, first blocked the
way, and then Hnyt himself closed up
the gap by issuing their pardons. And
yet the boss of the Tribune "handed in"
a resolution declaring that Hoyt to
be commended for his n i.n and rrc od
lniniMrnti'in of (?. high ofr." Two
years ago, in the opinion of the Tribune,
Kemble and his gang ought to have
been sent to the penitentiary, but now,
in the opinion of Hie editor of the same
paper, it was "wise and pure" in Hot
to pardon them. The matter is badly
mixed.
The Ohio election will take place on
Tuesday next, when a Governor, sever
al other Stite officers and a Legislature
will be chosen. The candidate.? for
Governor are Charles Foster, familiarly
called "Calico Foster." the present Re
publican incumbent, and John W. l.ook
walter. Democrat a self-made man and
largely interested in manufacturing en
terprises. The Republican papers ever
since hisnomination have been endi avoid
ing to belittle his candidacy, pricipally
on the ground of bis being an .unknown
man in the politics of th country, but
he seems likely to make them thoroiigh
1 ly acquainted with him by the time he
gets through with them. Foster is w hat
is known in politics as a 'trimtnei ," or
perhaps, niuiv correctly speaking, a dem
agogue, and has conspicuously revealed
his character in that respect during the
campaign, to Lbe utter disgust of the
temper.ui'c voters, by attempting to
' carry wafer on one shoulder and lager
beer on the other. His case seems to be
a elespeiate one in every aspect in w hich
it can be viewed, and the Xew York
7Viifs, the leading Republican paper in
the country, one day last week threw up
: the f-ponge as follows : "Should Presi-
dent Arthur show a disposition, to lie ad
i vised or led by Senator Conkling, 30,000
'Ohio Republicans will stay .away from
the polls on election day, the Democrat
J ic ticket will be elected by a vote larger
than that of Bishop in 1S77, the Leg is"
lature will be under Democratic control,
and the Democrats will gain (by new
districting) ten Representatives in Con
press." Tli is is a Republican prophecy,
and the result of the vote in Ohio next
Tuesday will show how much truth or
guess woik there is in it,
Xo convention" ever before met in
this State to nominate a candidate for a
State office that had the names of so
many competent men presented to it
from amongst whom to make the selec
t ion as t he Democrat ic convent ion which
met at Williamsport last week to nomi
nate a candidate for State Treasurer.
F.ach and every one of them fully came
up to the Jeffersonian standard of hon
esty and competency, and it is to the in
finite credit of the Democracy that the
nomination of any one of them w.-nld
have been a sufficient guarantee that
the business of the treasury department
would !e faithfully administered. That
the nomination of Orange Xobk, of Frie
county, is an exceptionally strong one
does not admit of any doubt. He is a
self-niade man, architect of his own for
tune's, and owes the reputation he en
joys as an efficient, high-minded and
successful business man, to his own un
tiring energy and perseverance. Tf Mr.
Xoble is elected he will not, like so
many of his predecessors in office, when
lie takes charge of the treasury, have n
'r.enos 10 reward and a host of
l i e i - .
enemies to pnn;s!i, for our ei-timate of
mm as a Democrat is that lie has al
ways pursued a straightforward, manly
and consistent course, and has not been
identified with any of the personal feuds
and quarrels that of late years have been
permitted to interfere with the harmony
of the Democracy of thb State. Heisa

was unanimously chosen temporary
chairman. He was escorted to the chair

anu greeted wnn ine most nearly ap
planse. He spoke as follows :
MR. HENSEL'S ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Convention: There are no
oft years in Democratic hones and Demo
crat!.; exertions. Profoundly appreciating
the honor of the call which you have extend
ed to me, l am not insensible to tne respon-
tlSZST S'aVSr
to '
meet and discharge them without fear, fa-
vnr, or atfection. I am not unmindful that ;
me iongsiia.iov oi a people s griei iau am- i
wart any popular gathering in these times
nd that the whole republic laments the
calamity which has befallen it in the assassi
nation of the chief matMrdrate. Deprecating
as tiiey do any assault upon the dignity of
established office by fraud oi force, the
Democrats of Pennsylvania sincerely join in
I the universal sorrow and sympathy which
j this tragic event awakened. All the more
: deeply do they teel the necessity of reaffirm
i ing by their words and works their "fidelity
i to the principles of those illustrious men
1 who settled our free institutions and founded ,
j the Democratic party to preserve them " '
They who look for a "Democratic State Con- !
I veiition to reset ancient land marks, will, I
: trust, look in vain. Time has only vindica
: ted the efficiency of the essential principles
! of Democracy to truly "save the life of the '
nation," and keep each part of our well de- .
vised constitutional system in full vigor and ,
free exercise : to reassert rather than to take
' dcpaiture from this faith delivered by the
lathers, and to nominate candidates who are
the embodiment thereof is the office of this
convention. In the measure that this is .
done will the people of the commonwealth
a 'p:ove the o'elivei once of the party. That
pledge. I may be a. lowed to say, involves a
; declaration of honest money, home rule, fair
. elections and economy in the expenses of
government ; against all schemes of central
; ization of the public business, against repu- I
diatk.n and repudiators, ami against, the
growth and exactions of monopolies or the :
extension of subsidies to corporations at the
People's expense. A long career of faith-
fall. ess to public trust has informed the peo
1 pic of this conimonw eallh of the dishonest
purj -os( s of '.lie liepulilicnr, party. Lecent
; events l ave quickened public apprehension
: of fatal icsults to the State from its longer :
1 continuance in power and the formidable re
bellion everywhere asseiting itself against
. corrupt personal and political dynasties give
' piomise that the day of Pennsv lvnia's de- '
livei ance is at hand. Honest men are hope
ful that in the near futur a better political
creed is here to prevail than of addition, di
! vision and silence. These signs of the times
point the -.ray to Democratic duty. If this
convention shall meet and discharge that
duty, ks 1 know L will, it will juslifv the
hopes of a large m.ijoiify of the pcopie
wl.cccyes are turned this way to-daj . If
' it shall arraign the opposirion f.r the sins
of omission and the deeper vices of corrup
tion : if it shall pledge ilse'.f without equivo- ,
cation to better things, and if it shall prove
its sincerity by having a candidate whose :
diameter is without fear and whose record :
, is without rcpioach, ft will not have met in
; vain. Its results may he of far wider reach
' ing iir.poi tnce than simply to determine the
elect custodian of the State funds. It may
he the forerunner c.f political contests cul im
itating in the near future in the long-waited
, for national verdict, w hich fiaud cum. it le
verse and force cannot overturn. Gentle
men ot the Convention, I am prepared to re
ceive any motion looking to the proper dis
patch of your business.
His speech Was frequeidiy applauded.
: A proposition fixing the order of busi
ness was presented by Mr. George Mc
Gown:i, of Philadelphia, and called
forth an extended discussion. The con
vention then proceeded to adjust com
mittees ,n organization. The conven
tion then adjourned until 3 I', ir.
The committee on organization met
afterwards. Colonel Duff in the chair,
and agreed to make the temporary
chairman permanent. They also deci
ded to have a vice president and secre
tary from each senatorial district. The
temporary secretaries also to be pernnui
ent, THK PLATFORM.
On the reassembling of the convent ion
the report of the committee on resolu
tions d as read and adopted, as follows:
Rexolred, That w e, the Democratic party of
Pennsj Ivania, in convention assembled, "dec-la
re :
Fust For the preservation of the consti
tution of the I'nited Slates; home rule;
freedom of election ; for resistance of revol
utionary changes, tending to consolidation or
empire: against the election of any person
to the Piesidency a third time: against the
presence of troops at the. polls; against the
appropriation of public inonevs for any pur
pose but t lie support of the government;
and class legislat ion, which despoils labor to
build up monopoly.
: cond That the Democratic party as of
old.
favors, a constitutional currency of gold
and silvei. in all forms, and coalition with
repudiators merits the condemnation of hon
est people. The refusal of a Republican ad
ministration to accede to the Democratic de
mand tor a further reduction in the rate of
interest on the national debt subjects the
government to a needless expense of half a
million dollar-;, annually.
Third In view of the exposure of exten
sive trauds in the Postal and Treasury De
partments under the last Federal adminis
tration, the people demand prompt and un
faltering prosecution of the thieves Their
successful operations prove that there will
lie no real refoim in the management of the
Departments of the Fedural government
without a sweeping change therein. Sincere

of deposit, hold his hooks and papers open
to inspection and preserve the common
wealth from nny repetition of the systematic

career of the Republican treasury ring, who

fice of State Treasurer. Mr. Majn-s in
the following editorial in bis paper on
Mr. Noble's nomination represents the
views and feelings entertained in the oil
regions in regard to that gentleman,
and we reproduce them here :
The nomination of Orange Noble, of Erie,
for State Treasurer hy the Democratic State
Convention, win. h met at Williamsport yes
terday, is an unmistakable omen nf party-
victory in November. Mr. Noble is by all
odds the strongest candidates the Democracy
could have named for the position. He is,
nrsi ot an, an nonest., intelligent, upright
man, He is Identified with no ring, clique
or faction, and will enter the race free from
all obligations save those which a true citizen
acknowledges to himself and the people
whom he represent-.
He is an anti-monopoly candidate, and ap
pears before the voters cif the State upon an
out-and-out anti-monopoly platform. As
against Daily, a man whose record and plat
form present, no pledges against monopolies,
the patriotic independent voter will le
prompt to express his preference for Orange
Noble
The Democrats of Pennsylvania have done
themselves proud. They have taken a long
stride in advance of their Republican breth-c-rn.and
placed themselves squarely upon re
cord upon the only real question before the
country that is, the people versus the mon
opolies. The record and character of the
candidates are in fud accord with the plat
form on which he stands. The pction of the
Williamspoit convention reduces the ensuing
canvass to a simple struggle between the
monopolies and the people, and the Demo
cracy are on the right side.
Orange Noble will be the next State
Treasurer of Pennsylvania mark that.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3, 181.
Dear McPike "What shadows we are
Bnn. whnt shadows we purine." As to us
wno surVjv our dead President, it is meet
that we carry from his grave the lesson that
in Ul mi.jst of life we are in death, and an
eln,ost hn,i ai,j,i jnc mindfulness of thp above
qnotatiim "what shadows we are and what
shartnw, WP pnrsne." There remains only
for p1PSjrt(nt Garfield, who was .i lately the
centre of th hones, the supplications and
affections of his countrymen, a lookinsr for
J the general resurrection on the last day and
j the life of the world to come. The last
! scene in the solemn paeeant. of nature's irrief
. is ended, and the lone weeks of ino'iming
which bowed the heads and hearts of the
i American people as they were never bowed
,,r(M,,(!.nt h hOPn committed to the grave, j
f , rrstine nH-parth to earth, a-hes I
f , , t tn t Bvond death is S
tni.nr,a!iry, but this side of death is the liv-
before are ended. The bodv of oin dead
ins present, and turning from the tomb of
the buried President, let us address ourselves
with new diligence and zeal to the duties
that lie before us. To the true man there is
no impulse to despair.bnt an inspiration rath
er to make the most of this stage of existence
by faithfully discharging all the various
trusts which Providence has laid upon us.
I.F.T 1'8 RE C ONSISTENT IN OCR CH ARITY.
Now that the fund being raised for Mrs.
Garfield has reached nearly f Pio.noo. let the
attention of our people be called to the poor
of Michigan, who stan l hiiturrv and heart-
i sick on the edae of winter. Let not the de-
i traction or the past divert the attention or ,
ine cinirnanic penpie or tne counrry irom me
terrihle trials and misfortunes of the suffer
ers by the Michigan fires. The magnitude of
the misery of the Michigan sufferers makes
it the business of the whole country, and
there should lie no sluggishness, but active
particinatlon in the relief nf these poor peo
ple. Xever before in this country lias titere
?u!ek to mnke the rich richer, and to provide
or the well provided, but it is slow to pre
vent, death and exposure from starvation
amongthe snffen-rs of a great calamity which
turned l.ri,ooo people naked and dependent
upon the mercy of their fellows. Now, after
the superabundant provision for the Gar
fields, let there he no breathing spell in pub
lic charity for the suffering Michiganders.
THE PENDULUM OF POWER C HANOING ITS
STROKE.
New York again has a President, as shp
had in the person of Fillmore. She now has
a President in the person of Arthur, a man
whom the country at large would lu'ire nr.
der an adverse vote of at least a half ii mil-
non i ne pendulum nf power which for
twenty years rested on the westward stroke
imw swings hack with n vio'enf ;,..-!-
. ward. All the luck which run in abroad
; stream Ohioward for a long time haf ud
, denly stopped and settled tnran.'v t.
; ward. The nut'ook for Ohio row- is that ;
, there is some c .Id ahead for her. She has
: had a good pull at the public teat for a long :
time, and it will he a novr-'i y to sep h,.r take
, a back seat in the cold. Delaware will now '
I most likely secure the Vice Presidency. For
that position the most conspicuous person is !
: Thos F. Bivarl 11 id not the tables turn
ed the cold shoulder on Ohio. a,l Thurman
had not retired so earlv. he would have been
the most eligible person f,,r the Vice Presi
dency, but the men who now scenis to come
the most naturally into i lie category of possi
bilities is Mr. i5;,Vfird. !

: political sagacity and statesmanship when ;
ne pin. me m e Democratic Mate convention
on record :ts endorsing t?.e administration of
ex-Auditor General Schel!. That disgusting '
scramble over a dead issue was a new and 1
strange feature in a Democratic convention. I
It was putting an eyiraordinarv plank in the
platform of the Pennsylvania Democracy
which should immnrfa 'i.e that incomparable .
mountain delegate. Were it possible, which '
it never is. to sum up in one word the n- '
blest part of a great man's diameter, the ex- :
pression by which 1 would define the most ,
noteworthy moral lua'ifications of the 'ate
Auditor General William P. Scheli's nature ;
would be truthfulness. If there is one trait '
more striking than another in Mr. S.'s char
actcr it is his intense regard for his word.
He would rather be garroted a thousand
times than cn back of his word in a single 1
instance. From his earliest youth his w hole
mind was filled with a treat reverence for j
truth. It was the all-absorbing intetelleet- j
nal passion c.f his life. He considered the
telling of truth the mission nf his life, and :
from that he never deviate.) except in a few 1
rare instances. The truthf.il William should '
be the next Democratic candidate for Gov- '
'eruor.

honor is so liign but the poorest boy in the ;
land may hope to reach it. Many of the j
! most indigent youths of the country have
j conquered obscurity and become gloriously '
conspicuous. 'I he genius of Mr. Josephs is
I wonderful. In a three months' tour in F,u- j
j rope he was competent to compass both the I
I Irish brogue and ttie Fiench patois. It is '
sadly to be regreted. however, that the sea !
: air o.t bis voyage home had a very damag- j
' ing effect on both the brogue and the pati-
cms. This is unfortunate as it will prevent j
: him from displaying his tine Bisli and j
' French oratorical powers. Happily the dam-

TAKING CARE OF BILL MANN.
The Judges of Philadelphia take good care
of William B. Mann, for they not only keep
him in a fat, lucrative office, but also appoint
him one of the Board of City Trusts, which
is really a life position. The Board of
Judges have reappointed William B. Mann
as Prothonatary of the Courts of Common
Pleas for three years longer, which makes
the third term for which he lias been ap
pointed to that office. This is a direct illus
tration of civil service refoim, to keep one
man in office for term after term, or during
his life time. It is truly a fine thing to have
friends at court. G. N". S.
