representatives, and the privileges of the

Hon. William A Wallace who sailed
on the steamer Majestic for Europe was
seen at the Gilsey hounse in New York
city by a staff correspondent of the
Patriot jast defore he went aboard the
vessel. On being asked about the pros-
pects of the democratic state ticket in
Pennsylvania, Mr. Wallace ssid that the
outlook, in his opinion, was favorable to
the election of the ticket. “I shail be
absent from the country until the latter
part of August, or the first of September,”
said he, “and on my return will do my
part toward the success of the ticket. My
friends will not be backward in giving it
their support.”
Do you know Mr, Wallace, that Ex-
Congressman William I. Scott, wrote a
letter to a prominent democrat of your
state in attendance at the Scranton con-
vention to the effect that if you were
nominated for governor, he (Mr. Beott)
would have an independent democratic
ticket put in the field against you?
“Oh! yee,” replied the ex-senator, “that
is an open secret, Mr. Scott not only
wrote that letter but said in it that the
address:e might show it to whom he
pleased. Bot that kind of procedure
would only have been in keeping with
that gentleman's past political history.
He openly opposed the democratic state
ticket in 1881, It does not matter,
though, what Mr. Scott threatened
against me. I shall not imitate the bad
example he proposed to set, The demos
cratic state ticket is composed of worthy
men who are entitled to the support of
the democracy and that fact is quite suf
ficient to secure their support by old
line democrats like myself.”
Said Mr. Emery at a Republican con-
vention at Bradford, in a speech proe
testing Delamater's nomination would
disgrace the Republican party and in-
vile defeat.
I charge that George W,
pare hased bis election to the senate of
this State in that he directly
bribed citizens of Crawlord country to
vote for him at the general election, and
that when a memorial had beea cone
te plated, § to be presented to the senate
State, to prevent him from taking
the oath of office, he paid large sums of
money for the suppression of the aid
memorial.
I charge that George W. Delamater did
take the oath of office, thereby commit-
ting the crime against the good name
and the statutes of the Commonwealth.
I charge also that during his service in
the senate George W. Delamater attempt-
ed to alter a public record by framiog a
conference report on a bill before it had
been properly considered, contrary to all
rules and practices, and signing or hav.
had signed the names of alleged
members of the committee, and in so
doing offended the dignity of the legisla
ture and the law of the Commonwealth.
And, said Mr. Emery in conclusion:
‘I make these charges without fear of
contradiction, an] court an action at law
whereby 1 may set my proof before the
people oathbound.” Although called
on by the Philadelphia Press to answer

Congressman Mills, who has gone fo

Whether or not Mr. Blaine is the“X,
M.C.” who wrote the scathing article
on “Speaker Reed's Error” in the North
American Review, there can be little
doubt that Mr. Blaine must approve it,
whether as a parliamentarian or as a
politician,
The article is a very complete demons
stration of the falsity, the unconstitu«
tionality and the danger of Mr. Reed's
method of counting a quorum, but as
these have been quite thoroughly dem-
onstrated before, the particular interest
clared thet they had not beea in the
Capitol at the time, Some day this ri-
diculous assumption will result in serious
mischief,
A fire in Constantinople, a few days
PA.
In the “X. M, C.” article in the North
American Review, generally credited to
ox-Speaker Blaine, the arrogant preten-
gions of Speaker Beed are thoroughly
used up by a master of parliamentary
law, We quote one of the illustrations
bearing on the point to which we refer:
Speaker Reed’s method of counting is
fairly illustrated by the following: Sap-
pose a measure pending and the hounse
comes to a vote, A quorum is a major-
ity of the honse-—one more thao half the
whole number of representatives—the
number made necessary by the constitu:
tion “to do business.” At present it is
166 members, If 120 members vote for
a measure and only one against it [the
precise vote by which the bill to admit
Idaho as a Btate was declared passed by
the speaker] Speaker Reed's ruling de-
clares the measure carried, provided the
clerk of the house can fill the quoram by
counting 36 members present in the hall
in addition to the 130 who vote in re-
sponse to the roll-call. These 36 mem-
bers whom the clerk couuts are sitting
io their seats, walking in the rear area
standing in the aisles, bending over
desks, engaged in conversation on both
the Republican and Democratic sides of
the house, commingled
bers and with non-members of the
various classes, who to the number of at
least 2,000 have the privilege of the floor
of whom at least 250 are constautly in
Washiogtos; and a considerable number
of these are daily exercising their privi-
lege. A vote rapidly counted in this
way lacks the certainty and security of
the call of yeas aud nays. The wrong
man may readily be taken, and not hear-
ing his name read, does pot correct it
the vote thus becomes vitiated and the
exact result is produced which the call o
yeas and nays was constitutionally provid-
ed to prevent. * * * If the clerk can be
trusted to count and record a certain pro,
portion of the names, he should be trust.

It was never designed that there should
be two ways of counting a quorum on a
yea andenay vote!

The Republican senatorial caucus on
night of 10 was a stormy one. It was
also decidedly unsatisfactory and ended
in much confasion and without anything
definite being done. The talked-of
opposition to the Eederal election law
was as large as described in these dis.
patches recently, Senators Wolcott,
Teller, Stewart and Farwell spoke against
the passage of the bill with mach vehe.
mency. This provoked retorts from
Chanaler, Hoar and the other extremists
on the question, and for three and a-half
hours the battle raged. Those in favor
of the bill's passage were in ths majority,
and it soon became apparent that while
the opposition was considerable it could
not hope to stem the tide in favor of the
bill. There was much discussion as to
the best method of pushing the bill. The
suggestion was made that the rules be
changed a la Reed, but the suggestion
was not kindly received.

think Pattison their friend. A careful
canvass reveals that a general sentiment
among the miners is in favor of Pattison .
We do not expect anythingfrom Quay or

It is probably unjust though interesting
to accept the story that he was refused,
when he urged his case at that time, bee
