1'htil recently we have said but lit
tie on this aulyoct, for the reason Ihnt
(ov. liigler, whose nomination wo mi
qiudiflodly favored, was unwilling that
his triends should uso his nairto, or
press his claims for the (jiibomutorial
noiiiiuution. Jiut tlio tuuo hu come
when wo must speak out, aud in doing
so, wo dischargo our duty ax a journal
ist towards our party and tho people
Let it not bo understood that in the
expression ol our preference for his
nomiiialioii that wo are moved by per
soiiul considerations, or attachments
for tho man. Our reul motivo is tho
puhllo wulfuro.
Iu tho II rut piano, tho popular desire
for Mr. Bigler') nomination is being
clearly manifested and pressed, in a
greater or lesg degree, in overy county
in the State. And whut is still more
significant of success, in tho event of
his nomination, tho request comes large
ly from thut class ot citizens who are
notspociully identified with any political
organization ; but Is composed of con
servative men who are looking ear
nestly to the moral and political welfare
of the people, and to a remedy for the
startling evils of tho times.
This class sock a guarantee in tho
characteristic! ol tho man. They care
far less about platforms and other arti
ficial party arrangements ; they want
a man in the Kxocutive Chair, in whose
Integrity, and parity, and doTOtion to
tit wrcwi Mam ol IbA KtestA pmri llAT
grout interests they havo implicit con
fidence. " And their proforenco for him
is no disparagement to the other gen
tlemen named lor the position. It is
altogether probublo that some ono or
mora of those named would dischurgo
tlio duties of the oflieo indicated with
the utmost fidelity, but tbey have not
boon tried, and it is not singular that,
in times of so much corruption In pub
lio places, the people should look to
mon who havo boon thoroughly tried,
and insist in having such a candidate
above all others.
Wo believo Mint tho nomination and
election of cx-(iov. Bigler would bo the
dawn of a new era in tho civil affairs
of our beloved old Commonwealth.
Uis faithfulness has been tested in
small as well as in great trusts.
Whether in tho dischurgo of his duties
as a Stato Sonator at Hurrisburg, or
those of Governor, or a Senator in C'on-
Urcss, whether building a railroad or a
h 6
church, tho sumo diligence, fidelity and
economy marked all his actions. Be
sides, he is disconnected from all fac
tions, and having no connections with
strifes, within or without tho party, ho
would, if elected, be in a position to do
thut which is right and just among his
fellow-men, and that ho would do, in
his own quiet way, regardless of tho
demands of friends or enemies. Wo
know it has been ulleged against tho
Governor, when ho was iu public posi
tions, that he would do nothing lor his
frionds : but it should be borne in mind
that a public servant often has dematids
made upon him by his friends, that it
becomes the highest virtue ot tho in
cumbent not to grant. This Mr.
Bigler has oflon done, and would do so
again. We do not wish to convey tho
idea that his motivo is ungracious, or
that ho is unmindful of tho claims of
mviu nnu oiininini-u unu in iiuivn iri
great trial ; on tho contrary, his heart
readily responds in gratitude to those
who act a friendly part towards hun.
Thero is, however, one class ot mon,
whether they aro frionds or foes, for
whom ho would havo no compassion.
We mean thoso who have, or may.
prove unfaithful, selfish, or corrupt, in
tho discharge of a public trust. Upon
all such ho would visit tho utmost pen
allies of the law with pleasure and the
mil measure of popular condemnation
It always brings him to his foot when
discussing tho shortcomings of a cor
rupt government official.
It must bo conceded that men of
this character, above all others, are
needed in our puhlio places these de
generate times. Tho corruption In
high places is truly awful, and if tho
peoplo do not rise np and condemn it,
public virtue in a government official
will soon be the exception instead of
tho rule.
The delegates to the Krio Conven
tion will comply with the popular wish
by casting their votes for Mr. Bigler.
Mako him our standard bearor and the
campaign is half over the victory
won. Give us a candidato who has no
public record, and ono must bo mado for
him before tho pooplo will rally to his
support. Tho great mass, outside of
tho more professional politicians de
mand a candidato with an uudcfilcd
record, ouo who will be proof against
all rings, and willing to denounce cor
ruption within tho party, (if it exists).
as well as without.
William Biglor is a true representa
tive of tbo higher class of statesmon
who have boen thrust aside fur tho pe
culiar "smart men," who havo, unfor
tunately, ruled In the past decade to
tho disgrace of thoir constituents and
the Stato. It is about time to swap
statesmon, if we wish to uphold Ho-
puhlic, and transmit free government
to those who are coming alter us. Let
us loavo them as valuable an inherit
ance as was banded down to us. Let
publio robbers lio convicted and sent to
tho Penitentiary liko ordinary high

elected Governor.

Tho New York Sun in alluding to
tho bunk failure, says, tho cause of the
isastor is simply unwise and extrava
gant speculation. The managers of
tho bank thought thomsolves omnipo
tent, and regarded the whole Paciflo
coast ns their property. Thoy em.
barked in enormous enterprises ; they
owned Senators and Congressmen ;
thoy decided elections ; thoy controlled
judges ; tho mines aud the agriculture
of half the continent they iuncied
were theirs ; and the people were their
servants, born only to make tbom rich
and great. Thoy were mart with the
inanity of Iuncied wealth and bound
less ambition, and ruin has come upon
them.
Tho event teaches anew tho old fa
miliar lesson : integrity, wisdom, pru

Thk WimiD Would. Tho course

one, for a Dcmoctatio journal. It has
for somo time past assailed and slau
dored prominent Democrats in this

that of any iladical organ in tho
Union. Tho editor of the Philadel
phia Timet in alluding to tlio course
pf this guerrilla organ, suys: "It is
an unfair and unmanly mode of war
faro for William B. Rood's Now Y'ork
World to urge the nomination of ex-
Governor Bigler tor Govornor by tho

ing to merit such a crushing millstono
about his nock as the proclaimed

support of tho Tl'orW he could bo con
sidered as a candidate at Krio at all
only on the assumption that tho
World had boen hired to destroy him
with its praiso, for no man who goes
into that convention tainted with the
favor of the journal that betrayed
Seymour in lRt!8, and has its prico for
betraying the Democracy of Ohio in
1875, will receive a corporal's guard ol
votes. It is due to Govornor Bigler
to say that bo has manfully protested
against tho idiotio prostitution of the

and madness, and he should not bo

citing a murderous riot iu three or
four counties of that State, The Phil
adelphia Timet in alluding to this un
godly movement, says :
"There ronlly appeal's to have been
somo ground for tho recent excitement
in Georgia. The trouble, as far a we
can learn, originated with a few tur
bulent fellows, anxious to gain notorie
ty or perhaps to enrich themselves in
some way, who got up tho plot, or tho
pretense of a plot, luul drew a num
ber of ignorant negroes into it. The
"orders" that wore found and the
promises of assistance from the militia
of neighboring States may havo been
genuine, but woro quite probably
forged, In order to help the tho thing
along, but thoro was enough in tho
plot to terrify the scattered whites
when it was discovered, and the won
der is, in such a state of afTuira, thut
they kept their hcuds as well as they
did. For this the chief credit seems
to bo due to the tompurato action of
Govomor Smith, as woll as to tho good
sense of the leading people of both

wero arrested iu each of two counties,
but all except half a doscu ringleud

TUEASUli Y IX VESTK1A TIOX.
Tbo Philadelphia Commonwealth says:
Thu lust aUeuint to impress thu people
with thu idea that the State Treasury
was the purest uf all hiiniun Institutions
has failed. Thu atruteirv of thu Iladi
cal Statu Treasurer was a sud blunder.
When tho cash was counted, and the
sinking fund was inspected, all was
lovely. J nun tlio llauieais inoiigni
they hull what la sometimes iu tbo
"slung 01 tno (lay caned tno "dead
wood" on tho Democracy. The plan
was to muko a "stateinuut," in which
the left huml side uf the accounts was
exactly like the right bund sulu.
This, it was sunpiwed, would deceive
the honest people of tbe State. Hut
there was loo much inlbrmulion iu tlio
public mind on tho subject, so tlutt
when this statement came nut it was
evident to every reader that what iivm
not in it ought to have been, and what
uvi in it ought never to have been any
where ulso.
So the wholo plan was a finulo, und
left tbo question of the Iladical manage
ment of tho State. Trcusury Inst where
it. wits when the invent igatinn was de
manded.
It is wonderful that sensible men can
bo so blinded to tho exigencies of the
ease as presented now to tho taxpayers
of Pennsylvania.
'The investigation must be mado. It

It must be exhaustive, complete, aud
free trom any interference by thoStuto
Treasurer or any of bis agents or em
ployes, except as thov are required to
give information and explanation to the
committee.
Lest there bo a lingering doubt as
to tho paramount necessity fur this
kind of nn investigation now, we give
tho following from tho Kastnn Satinet;
"Hero is what tho Lancaster Exfirett,
a staunch Republican paper, said of
the State Treasury, when it was fight
ing the JIurriHliiirg ring:"
"Hut least any ono ma)- think wo
are not iu earnest in what wo have
heretofore suid, we now make direct
charge that Hubert W. Mackey.ns Stule
Treasurer, did speculate with tbe State's
money, right hero in Lancaster, in di
rect violation uf tho provisions of the
penal code."
"Wo charge that on deposits here in
Luncustur It, W. Mackey received four
per cent interest, in direct violation of
the plain letter ot luw. e inake a
spocillc charge ; aro prepared to name
amounts, places, and dates. Wo charge
a gross misduineanur on a public ofllcer.
The law gives lis the right to offer the
truth In ovidonce. Thocourtsareopcn.
We challenge investigation under cir
cumstances where thoro can bono white
washing by committees and no dodg
ing about alHdavits, sworn or unsworn."
"Did the Ktulo Treasurer meet these
charges, and, like an honest man, de
mand, investigation? Not a whit of
it. Ho passed them over in silence,
and it is for tho peoplo to suy whether
his special friend, Huwlc, the Kepubli
can nominee for Treasurer shall ho
elected ill order that tho samo system
may be carried out."
It is hard to kick against the pricks.

Day by day fraud and corruption

the city of Washington, D. C. was rob

named Schneider was arrested as one
of the perpetrators of the robbery.
When Schnoider was lodged in jail, he
sent for notorious Dick Harrington, the
aame who in thu eburacler nf attorney
of tbe District, caused the release of
Benton, who was apprehended for the
safe burglary in which affair Dick
himself was tried for complicity by
accepting worthless bail. In the case
of Schneider ho was let out on 83,000

A 8a ii Fact. Tho lilwnshurg Jre.
Kin, in discoursing on official corrup
tion, says "John W. Forney, ina lato
London letter to the Philadelphia i'mw.
says that a distinguished gentleman of
-Manchester, in answer In his t Forney's)
inquiry as to the fidelity of the public
servants, slated to him that 'any man
holding a responsible office iu England
would us soon think of putting his
hand into tho tire as of using tho pub
lic money for his own purposes.' As
suming this to ho substantially true, aa
wo doubt not it is, it shows that
in that country huncrty in tho public
servieo is tbe rule, while in this great,
glorious and free republic it is well
known to be tbo e-riTirton. : It is a hu
miliating and a disgraceful fact, and
yot it is true, that in no country on the
fiico of tho globo are peculation and
cmber.r.lemeiit hy men holding posi

common as iu the United States. "Tbo

to this melancholy truth. Time per

Cll AX (IK OF PROGRAMME.
Tbo Ohio Itutlicals have made a sud
den change ill thoir method of attack
iug the Democrats. The uld Know
Nothing l it tl bus been adopted to save
their sinking cause. A Washington
dispatch to I he Philadelphia 7iit
says ;
Information lias been received hero
direct from the ltcpublican councils of
Ohio, explaining the sudden change of
tho Itupublicait leader limn tbe cur
rency to the school issue. It was done
by the eanieat advice of Senator Mor
ton, who was notified nt tho listless
ntuts hi tho Buckeye pooplo about his
Woody-shirt and currency speech. He
at ont o decided that to war against the
Democratic inflation policy, as was in
tended by (joncrnl Hayes and his friends
would luso tho State by tens of thou
sands, and ho earnestly urged that the
whole contest should bo hazarded uivnn
a revival of Know Nuthiiigism and the
school question. Ho insisted that un
less some new issue could bo sprung
ii !n tho peoplo of Ohio that would
divert them from the loud of (irant,
Delano und the fruits of tho liepubli
enn rulu generally, the con tost was a
hopeless ono. It was finally decided
that the campaign should thereafter be
conducted solely on the religious issue,"
leaving tho Commercial and tbe Liber
als, who rovoltod against Inflation, to
flounder out as best tbey could, and
since then all the speakers have fob
luwod out the Morton programme. A
preconcerted attack ou the new issuo
startled tho friend of Allen, but as it
becomes apparent that it ia only a des
pcrale device of desperate leaders, who
would invoke religious prejudices to
save a condemned party, the issue ia
likely to recoil upon those wbo invented
it, and prove a plague upon Hayes.
Morton confesses that Republican Ohio
cannot, be carried on tbo records of He-
puiihcan administration, and be baa
led the part)' after false gods in the
hope of saving it from the consequences
of its own acts. It ia the judgment or
tho most dispassionate Allen leaders,
expressed within the lust fow days,
thut tho abandonment of the currency
issue by tho Hiqiuhlicans will give the
Suite to Allen by a decided majority,
MACKEY S BOGUS ASSETS.
Treasurer Mackey'g magnificent
statement of assets is not being allowed
to pass unchallenged. The Franklin
Spectator shows that 1 10,000 are utter
ly worthless, representing deposits with
parties who bavo been boticlossly in
solvent fur years. These aro the Krie
Hank uf Commerce, which is charged
with 13.896; tho Venango National
Hank 87,224, and Ueorge F. Mason Si
Co., of To anda, 85,000. The People's
Hank in Philadelphia, which is respon
sible for 8189,000 of the Stato moneys,
according to Mackcy's report is said to
have, or to have bad for some time
81,000,000 of tho city moneys deposited
by Treasurer Widcner. Tbo entire
paid up capita! of this bank is 8100,
000, and its dividends have boen up
wards of CO per cent. 1 1 pays to be in
thu King.
Hut tho reflection not unnaturally
suggests . itself that if 10,000 nf
Muekey's assets are known to he value
less, it is very probable that a vastly
larger portion of them would be found
iu tlio samo condition, if the whole
truth were known. When Charles T.
Yerkes, Jr., failed in 1H71. lie bad on
deposit (nomially) 8105,840.37 of the
Stale moneys with tho knowledge and
consent of both Treasurer Mackey and
Auditor (ieneral(now Governor) Ilart
ranft. Yorkos was unable to restore
any part of this money, and Messrs.
Hurl ran II and Mackey bavo never yet
explained how tho loss was made gteud,
al all. Harlranll had somo very ex
traordinary transactions with Yerkes,
includingspeculutionain wild-cat stocks,
and never kept any margin of his own.
Ho is now fur the second time a candi
date before tbo people since his confi
dential broker, Yorkea, failed, and must

counts witha known deficiency ol 81 0.'i.

it ? Come, Govornor, please give us a
litllo light. Evening Herald.
A Fair Kxcmanoe. A Washington
dispatch ay that the President offer
ed the Secretaryship of the Interior to
J. Iliissull Jones, with tbe request to
punish all Indian frauds. Jones!
Jones! let's ace ; isn't this the aame
Junes who defrauded some Norwegian
society out of a valuable tract ot hind
in tho suburbs of Chicago, then sold
Crant half of it for 81, when it was
worth 850,000, and was immediately
appointed minister to Belgium ? Seems
to us wo recollect a transaction some
thing like this about 1K09., H it is the
same Jones, wont tbe Indian frauds be
punished with a vengeance, though.
