Gladstone will never give up the struggle for home rule in Ireland. In an address which he delivered at Chisel hurst, England, on Monday last, he said : "The enthusiasm of the British friends of the home rule idea is an incen tive to me never to be beaten in it, but to continue the struggle for the happi ness of Ireland. Although there have been prejudices between Great Britain and Ireland, the fact that in the recent electoral contest l,4(K).0UO Englishmen and Scotchmen polled votes in behalf of Ireland, shows that prejudice is fast disappearing. Let men consult any book or nation in the world, and they will not find ore tht doe9 not say that the relations between Ecgland and Ire land under the Union have been miser able for Ireland and dishonorable to I England. If the country desires to redeem her honor, and enable her Par liament to attend to its pressing business of imperial 'egislation,the Irish question must be settled." W. U. II ens el, one of the owners and poprietors of the Dail Lancaster Intelligencer, and who is also Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, has Bold his half interest in that newspaper i i. . x. .i. v. - . Robert Clark, both cf whom for a long t n , . . ' ... ... ; -l...-rll , . III I t 1 l 1 III . U ' . . . V 111. U 111-4 time have been identified with its edito rial management and business direction. In making this announcement on Satur- ! day last, the IntcVhntrrr states that j from then until the day of the November , election, Mr. Heusel will devote himself j exclusively to the management of the I Democratic campaign. He has been ; connected with the Intdliijenrpr for over 1 twelve years, is one of the ablest and I most vigorous writers in the State, and if be has concluded to retire permanently . from journalistic life, as we trust he has , not, his hosts of friends and admirers i everywhere will sincerely regret to part with so bright an ornament of the profession. An immense picnic of the Knights of Labor was held at Wilkesbarre on Mon day last, at which Mr. 1'owderly made an address in which be strongly de nounced the rioting and violence carried in the name of the Knights of Labor. He declared emphatically that he wa3 not a candidate for any political office and would not accept the highest office in the United States if P, were offered to him. He also said . '"The Anarchists will never obtain- a foothold in the Knights of Labor. Anarchy is destruct ive to civil liberty, and no honest work Ingman can afford to identify himself with an organization which has for its object the destruction of life and prop erty. The principles of the Knights of Labor are grand principles, and no citi zen need be ashamed of them." It is announced that Galusha A. Grow will open the Republican campaign at Erie on the otL of September. Galu3ha is always opening Republican campaigns and if the campaign is successful and a United .States Senator is to be elected at the succeeding session of the legislature, it can be set down with absolute certain ty that be will turn up as an aspirant for that position. If he ia defeated, as be always is, be at once begins preparing himself to open the next campaign. It will always be thus with Galusha, and If the Republican youngs er of 1SS0 lives until the year ltmO when he will be ready to cast his first vote, he will read in the theu organs of his party that Ga lusha A. Grow will open the Republican campaign of th;t year, provided always that the Republican party is then in existence. What a singularly honest and proper man William A. Wallace ha3 become in the estimation of Republican newspaper editors since his defeat at the Democrat ic State Convention last week? Owing to Sir. Wallace's long and prominent connection with legislation as a member of the State Senate, it is as certain as that the sun will rise to-morrow morning that if he had been nominated he would have been denounced and misrepresented by the Republican press from one end of of the Slate to the other. In anticipa tion of his candidacy Coojter had his artillery loaded to the muzzle and would have opened fire upon him all aloug the Republican liDe. The old charge against Wallace of having manufactured coffee pot stained naturalization papers and supplied them to foreigners in order to enable thtrn to vote would have been revived, although the late II. Bueher Swope who maliciously started the lie for his own purposes, admitted before he died that Wallace had nothing to do with the fraud. And the "Ten Million bill" which was vetoed by Gov Geary, j but for which Wallace voted, would J have bt'en harped uion and misrepre sented in a dozen different ways. Wal lace, however, wasn't nominated, and now Cooper is in a eck of trouble to Cud out what he must say to prevent Waik's tlectioL. I "Titere is no honor in any official position, however exalted it may be, whenever it is secured or maintained at the expense of personal or political in dependence." This was said by Hon. John. G. Carlisle, Speaker of the House of Representatives, at an ovation given him by his friends and neighbors on his return to his Kentucky home. It is a reproach that other statesmen in Con gress can't set up for themselves as high a standard of conduct as Mr. Carlisle prescribes for himself, aad up to which he has scrupulously lived. There is no more high minded cr honorable man now in public life thao John G. Carlisle, nor one who is more absolutely free from all the low arts of the political demagogue. A. K. Cutting, the El Faso, Texas, editor, who has acquired notoriety enough during the last month to last him during the balance of his natural life, was released from his Mexieau prison by a decree of the Supreme Court of the State of Chihuahua, on Monday last. The Court express'y reaffirmed the riirht. nf MoTipn tn trv nn nfTpn committed in the United States, and therefore the status of the case as an international question is not in the least altered by his release, but will be disposed of by the two governments when the question of indemnity comes up. Cutting thinks that ten thousand dollars in Mexicau coin would appease his wounded feelings. We suppose it will if he is ever lucky enough to get it. The bill, however, seems very steep. The Irish National League which met at Chicago on Wednesday of last week, adjourned finally on Friday evening. Upwards of a thousand dele gates were present, and its deliberations were orderly and harmonious. Ex-Congressman John F. Finerty, of Chicago, who cherishes the preposterous notion that the woes of Ireland can be more certainly remedied by physical force than by peaceable methods and moral power, created some excitement in the Convention by an attempt to ventilate his peculiar views, but a few calm, well directed words from Michael Davitt, who is supposed to know a great deal about the wrongs of Ireland as well as the surest and most feasible way of curiwg them, quicRly suppressed him. Finerty, like other impetuous, hotheaded Irishmen, means well, but lacks sound judgment and discretion, and wants to accomplish the common purpose of all the true fiiends of Ireland by means that are visionary and utterly impossible to the one supreme end to be attained. A firm but respectfully worded platform was adopted, and the policy of Mr. Par- ,, g . . . , . ... aim I'laosione in oeaung wun ine T . , . , Irish question was unanimously endors- question was unanimously ed. On th second day of the convention Mr. John Redmond, one of the three Irish Parliamentary delegates, delivered a most eloquent and impassioned address which we will publish next week. He is a fine type of the brilliant coterie of men who led the 'Young Ireland Party' iu the unsuccessful revolt of 143, and whose eloquent appeals in behalf of justice to Ireland as well as their with ering denunciations of English misrule and oppression are so well remembered. Mr. Egan, the President of the League, positively declined a re-election, and ; Judge John E. Fitzgerald, of Nebraska, was chosen as Ii is successor. lie is a I very wealthy man, is President of four 1 National Banks, and the largest railroad j contractor In the West. The report of the treasurer of the League which was : submitted to the Convention, shows that during the past two years three hundred j and twenty-five thousand dollars have Ixer sent to Ireland, and when we con sider the aid sent through other channels it is safe to estimate that during the last j six years a million of dollars has been r subscribed in this country in behalf of the Irish National movement. The contest at the Democratic State Convention which met in Ilarrisburg last week between the two rival candi dates for the nomination for Governor, William A. Wallace and Chauncey F. Black, resulted in the nomination of the latter natnnd gentleman on the fir3t ballot. It is not at all necessary that we should enter at length into a discus sion of Mr. Black's fitness and compe tency for a faithful and satisfactory discharge of the duties of the high office for which he has been nominated over so well known and distinguished a com petitrr a William A. Wallace for whom the Democracy of Cambria have always cherished a warm feeling of confidence and respect since the time they first aided in sending him to the State Senate in 1S;3. Mr. Black, as our readers know, is the present Lieutenant Gover nor of the State, to which position he was elected on the same ticket with Governor Tattison in 1SS2. He is a son of Jeremiah S. Black, that grand old Democrat and giant in intellect, who first saw the light of day among the "glades" of our adjoining county, Som erset, and whose greatness as a lawyer and political writer at the time of his death three years ago was acknowledged and confessed by every reading and thinking man throughout the land. Chauncey F. Black inherits many of the solid intellectual qualities of his father and like him his devotion to the Demo cratic cred taught by Thomas Jefferson is as fixed and immovable as a mountain. The last great speech his father ever ruade was when he appeared before a Committee of the State Senate in to submit an argument in favor of legis lation to enforce the provisions of the XVIIth article of the Constitution in regard to railroads as common carriers. In this'respect his son has walked iu his footsteps and will continue to walk in them simply because the Constitution of the State so ordains. Mr. Black is a man of reading and culture and well trained in political knowledge. His ironal integrity has never been assailed nor has aught that is dishonorable ever been alleged against him. Being exception ally well qualified for the office of Gov ernor the State Convention lias presented his name to the people with its full and . , bearty eudor-emtnt. He deserves to be ' elected, and will le if tht, frit-nJs of a ; a'"1 exact enforcr merit of the laws rela neglected and violated Constitution tiDR lo l)'"l-m stores aud store orders throughout the State come to i's rescue j ll'.se, relatin to h aecouut'tig of and fearlessly dis. hro- M,ir ,., ... i the ballot box. i RICKETTS, STEVENSON, inuu & h E:'.h::::'.:: C:::;:'.:ci, ai i Fcisttil Ti:fet feisitsi ! The Democratic State convention was held in Ilarrisburg on Wednesday of last week, and ihe Opera House was never more densely packed. From the pit to the gallery almost every inch of available space was occupied. The aisles and lobbies were crowded, and hundreds were unable to gain admittance. The large assemblage was rapped to order at 10.30 o'clock by Chairman Hensel. Hon. It. Milton Speer, of Huntingdon, nomi nated ex Judge M. C. Herman, of Cumberland county, for temporary chairman. He was unanimously elect ed. After the transaction of the usual routine business, the convention ad journed to meet at 3 o'clock. Upon reconvening, the committee on perma- nent organization reported, recommend Elliott, of Tioga ounty, for chairman. with a vice president from every senato rial district, in the state. The report of the committee on resolutions was presented, after some delay, and its reading provoked frequent outbursts of hearty applause. Gubernatorial nomi nations were then agreed upon, and L. F. Holtzman nominated Presley N. Guthrie, of Allegheny ; Hon. B. F. .V'y ers in an earnest addiess, nominated Col. Harry McCormick, of Ilarrisburg ; Hon. R. M. Speer, of Huntingdon, nominated Hon. William A. Wallace ; Arthur G. Dewalt nominated Hubert Emmet Wright, of Lehigh ; Hon. Joseph Cummings nominated Hon. Simon 1. Wolverton, of Northumberland ; Mr. Joseph S. Robertson nominated Robert S. Dechert, of Philadelphia. York courty. corning !n alphabetical order, was called last, and upon the announce ment of that name, Hon. Levi Maish nominated Hoc. Chauncey BUck. Only one ballot was necessary, and the vote was as follows : Blank Wallace Mcl'ormirk W right Wolrerton Outline Ieehert w. . l-JT. 29. lti. S. 2. Before the vote was announced, del egates becan to change their votes from all the different candidates (excepting Wa.lace) to Black, and as only ISO vorep were required to nominate, that number was soon secured. When the result of the voting was finallv made known. Black had 103 and Wa'llace Great excitement and chepring ensued and lasted for several minutes. On motion of Mr. Sneer, the nomination of Black was made unanimous. The attempt and failure to adjourn at this juncture until 7.30 o'clock, was followed by the placing in nomination of candidates for MeutsnaDt governor. The nominees were Humphrey I). Tate, of Bedford ; Col. R. Bruce Ricketts, of Luzerne ; aud R. E. Wright, of Lehigh. The convention then adjourned until S o'clock. Immediately upon reconvening at that hour the convention proceeded to ballot for ths candidates for lieutenant gover nor. The tide having irresistibly set in favor of Ricketts, and his nomination overwhelmingly assured, the other can didates were withdrawn, and he was nominated by acclamation and a rising vote. Maxwell Stevenson, of Philadelphia, was nominated for congressman-at-iarge by acclamation. Hon. J. Simpson Africa was nomina ted for secretary of iuternal affairs by acclamation. William J. Brennan, of Allegheny; J. Ilirvey Cooper, of Lawrence, and "Fighting Dick" Coulter, of Westmore land, were placed in nomination for auditor geueral. Mr. Coulter being present, declined to permit his name to go before the convention as a candidate. The name of Cooper was also withdrawn, and the nomination of Brenn.in followed by acclamation. Alter tenderiug a unanimous vote of thanks to the presi ding officers of the convention for the able and impartial manner iu which their trying duties had Deen discharged. tne convention adjourned sine die. The Platrorni. following is the platform mt - a rie roi towing is tne platform us adopted 1. The democracy of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, do declare that we reaffirm the Chicago platform of 1S84, approved by the people in the election ot Cleveland and Hendricks ; that we favor a just and fair revision of the revenue laws in accordance with the letter and spirit of that declaration of democratic principles, and in such revis ion care should be taken that such changes shall be made in a spirit of fairuess to all interests, and without depriving American labor of the ability to successfully compete with foreign labor, and without imposing lower rates of duty than will be ample to cover any increased cost of production which may exist in consequence of the higher rate of wages prevailing in this community. 2. That we endorse the democratic reform administration of President Cleveland. It has given confidence to the business industries of the country, purged the departments of corruption, checked extravagances, discouraged class legislation and monopolies, eleva ted the civil service from the partisan debasement to which it had teen reduced by previous administrations, and has made the people of the United States feel an assured confidence in the perpetuity and safety of ihe nation. 3. That we enJorse the democratic reform administration of Governor Pat tison. It has rescued the commonwealth from flagrant corruption, vigilantly guarded the public treasury, scrupulous ly protected the rights of the people, economically administered the govern ment, earnestly endeavored to enforce every provision of the constitution, re formed the management of state insti tutions, exposed and corrected abuse in the soldiers' orphans' schools, redeemed the pardon board from scandals, and executed all promises made by the can didates and party in 1882. 1. That we sympathize with labor in its efforts to make industrial and moral worth, not money, the true standard of individual and national greatness, and to secure to the workers the full enjoy ment of the wealth they create, and sufficient leisure in which to develop their intellectual, moral and social faculties ; to this end we desire the en largement of the bureau of statistics, the abrogation of all laws that do not bear equally upon capital and labor, and the prevention of the hiring out of convict labor: the adoption of measures nmvi- : ding for the health and safety and ' indemnification of injuries to those en ! gaged in mining, manufacturing and j building industries; ihe enactment of ; laws by which labor organizations may be auu Hrouranon txtennet I and. enforced, aud a suirable apprentice ?r.ip act ror the purpose of creating a better class of artisans and mechanics ; the prohibition of the employment of 't.i..lt.un 1 4 -m 'uiuici. unwri i vara or aire in work m.oi. ml..,. -waMnl . , appoinitneui ot carry out these nrovisions and a rigid eii forcemeat of existing BLACK NOMINATED emigration laws, and exclude pauper, contract and assisted emigration. 5. That we pledge ourselves to the enforcement of articles 16 and 17 of the state constitution, relative to private corporations, railroads and canals, by appropriate legislation. 0. That the state and local tax laws should be so altered and amended as to relieve farms and real estate from the present unfair and large proportion of taxation, and equalize the same so that personal estate would be made to pay ifs just part. Resolved, That we lament the death of the democratic leaders who upheld their political principles through years of distrust, injustice and wrong. Death does not dissolve the tie with which their viitues bound us. Our party's in spirations and hope come from the mem ory of lives and labors given to the service of our country. We lament the death of him whose -life was haprily prolonged until the wrong done in 1876 was made right, the Vice Piesident, Thomas A. Hendricks. From democratic councils has been taken the presence but not the influence of the purity of character, the lofty patriotism of the beloved soldier and citizen, George B. McClellan. We mourn the loss of the venerable statesman who elevated bis party with the wisdom and integrity of Horatio Sejmonr. We know how Penn sylvania grieved for Winfield Scott Hancock. We cherish the memory of him in the shadow of whose death we meet and the sentiment which was adopted by a national convention of our party gives him the best homage of freemen the pledge of our devotion to the principles and cause now inseparable in the history of the Republic from the labors and name of Samuel J. Tilden. Sketches of the Candidates. Hon. Chauncey Forward Black, the nominee for Governor, was born at Som erset, in this state, in November, 1S30.

Mfssrs. O'Brien, Deasy and Red mond, the Irish Parliamentary delegates to the National League Convention at Chicago, sailed from New York for home on Tuesday last. Francis MrnnriY, the able and suc cessful temperance reformer, puts a wonderful amount of truth in a nutshell when he said in a recent address : "The political third party haa not got a man to s;gn a pledge that I know of.
