KICKING,
We hear occasional allusions to kick-
ing, among Democrats, against the tick-
et. Such kicking would be a Godsend
tothe Republican nominees, if it amount
ed to anything, for after enjoying the
offices uninterruptedly for twenty five
vears without so much as offering the
Democrats a crumb, these fat fellows
would glory in getting back to their old
stalis if the Democrats could be induced
to be foolish enough to send them there
by kicking against their own ticket—one
of the best ever nominated. Hence,
these sleek, fat Republicans would like
to see some Democratic kicking.
We can take the reader back for twen-
ty vears, in the history of the Democra-
cy of this county, and show that they
always stood true to every nomination
made. Why not now ?
If kicking is to prevail when ones fa-
vorite candidate is not nominated, then
pray, tell us how long would it take un-
til there would be nothing left of our par-
ty? What reason is there now to kick
against any Democratic candidate
in the field.
When a candidate announces himself
subject to the decision of the Democratic
co. convention, it is always understood
that he and his friends mean what they
say and are ready to prove it by doing
what they promise, abiding by the de-
cision ofthe convention and supporting
the ticket. In the face of such a prom-
ise, any other course would be unmanly
and highly dishonorable. What Demo-
erat wants to place himselfin such a pre-
dicament by being a kicker?
When fraud, bribery and such like are
used to secare a nomination, then there
would be grounds for dissatisfaction, or
where the nominee is notoriously unfi}
by character or ability to fill the position
for which he is nominated, there might
be justification for kicking,
not the case with any single name now
upon the Democratic ticket. Every man
was nominated with the utmost fairness;
But such is

IMPEACHMENT OF MAYOR SMITH.
The Committee of the Common Coun-
cil charged with investigating the alle-
gations of malfeasance in the office of
Mayor Smith recommended that he be
impeached.
The report was signed by seven mein-
bers of the committee. One member
dissented and presented a minority re-
port. The grounds on which an im
peachment is based is the receipt of
money for licenses and neglecting to pay
it into the city treasury; failing to en-
force the ordinance in regard to pawn-
brokers; permitting his private secretary
to receive and retain public moneys, ete.
Private Secretary Linton has tendered
his resignation.
This shows that the Philad, Times’ ex-
posures were well founded, and is anoth-
er instance of the usefulness of a fear-
less public press, When scamps are
thus exposed by a fearless editor, their
backers and henchmen cry out against
the newspaper and its editor, that “he is
making trouble,” and he and his paper
must be crushed out, All rogues fear a
courageous and honest paper, but the
people will standby its editor and see
that the truth is maintaiped. The
safety of ourliberties dependsupon a fear-
less public press, and when you find a
set that wants to crush outa newspa-
per you always find it is because the
journal stood in the way of their wicked
schemes,

BLACK IN HIS OWN COUNTY.
A leading Philadelphia lawyer recent-
ly received a letter from a firm of his
York. All the members of the house
are Republicans, but they say they will
vote for Black and that his majority in
his own county will be something enor-
mous, At the recent
ty convention of York the following res-
olutions were passed unanimously and
Democratic coun-
by acclamation:

tion, in November next, by giviog the

majority than ever heretofore known in
the history of the county, and thus, in
this substantial manner, show its more

The New England tanners have deter-
mined to open war on the Knights of
Labor. They have agreed to lock out
over 8000 operatives on Oct. 1, and to
keep them out until the men are ready
toabandon their connection with any
iabor organization and accept such wa-
ges as their employers see fit to give
them. The defeats that labor organisa.
tions have met with of late-—frequently
through unwise and ill-considered
strikes—have emboldened a large num-
ber of employers to think that all they
have to do now is to kill out the labor
organizations and have everything their
own way. This policy on the part of the
employers is just as foolish as unwise
strikes are on the part of the employed.
There does not exist enough power fa
this country to eradicate labor organise
clients, doing a very heavy business in
tions, and the sooner this is accepted |
a fact, and some reasonable basis of ‘rea |
ty between organized capital and organ-|
ized labor established, the better it will}
