"Solid roa Mumiooley." The two
Radical delegates from this county to
the Cameron-Quay Convention.
Tboso lUdicalawho want an Orange
or want to voto for a Xolle man for
State Treasurer1 should adopt thoDom
ocralic candidate
The name of Orange Noble, of Erie,
for State Treasurer, now appears at
our masthead. He ia one of tho best
men that was ever nominated tor this
office, and of his olection there can be
no doubt.
Typho-malarial fevor, bilious colic
and pneumonia it is said are playing
sad havoc among the persons rendered
homeless by the recont forest fires in
Michigan, Many deaths have already
occurred, and many of the sufferers
aro lying at the point of death.
Freemen I or Course. Mr. Lam
bert, of tho Philadelphia Times, who
was present at the Radical Stato Con
vention, says :
I oever law tbo time whea tbe general ran of
the delegate! senmed o willing to bo tbown whleb
way to go. " I 'n not Instructed," save an Interior
delegate! ibow me to Quay room , and tho
oarnot on tbe wit, to Quaj'a room waa pretty
badly worn.
Fair and Sqare. The policy of tbe
Democratic Senators is undoubtedly
outlined in this remark of Senator
Hampton's: "As a mombor of the Son
ate, I propose to treat President Ar
thur precisely as I treated Garfield, sus
taining his administration in all meas
ures that moot my approval, and op
posing those that do not. But in no
event shall I appose him in a partisan
or factions manner."
The Stalwarts. The Republicans
of Clearfield county lost week nomina
ted the following tickot: Associate
Judge, Jamos Glenn, of Knox town
ship; Troasuror, John B. Ellis, of Du
Boia borough j County Commissioner,
C. K. McDonald, of Gulich township
Auditor, James S. Norris, of Bradford
township; Coroner, A bram Bailey, of
Lawrence township. Dr. II. B. Van
Valzah was re-elected Chairman of the
Republican County Comqiitteo for
1882.
AnairT, Stt.MiNOLT. Tho Phila
dolphia Record says: "There is noithor
Vice President nor President pro tcro,
nor Secretary of tho Sonate to swear
In now Senators. The Democ rats must
organize the Senate, whether they
would or not, by electing a Presidont
pro tempore to begin with. If they
elect Senator Bayard the linn of the
Presidency will lie secure enough to
suit the American people Would to
Heaven the Presidency might novor
tall into more unworthy hands."
11 ind You ; Oni.t Two! Voters will
please remember that three County
Commissioners aro to be elected this
Fall, and they will also recollect that
tbe rotor can only voto for TWO, al
though throe are to be elected. Coun
ty Auditors are to be choson (n the
aamo manner. The new Constitution
authorises the election of three lor
each of the ofilcos indicated, but as
signs one of the throe to the minority
parly. Hence, Democrats ran only
oto for two.
Skippinq AaorND. A Washington
telegram, dated September 2!Uh, says :
"President Arthur has loft for New
Tork and will not be back before
Monday or Tuesday." He waa evi
dently holding a caucus in a corner of
the New York Custom House with
hii "old chums," out of which he was
hoisted by Hayes and Sherman a low
years ago. This trip, we presume, fa
not Custom House business, but it may
turn op in the shape of a Cabinet Job.
Keador, keep your eye on Conkling
and Arthur. "Me tool" as Tlatt re
marked to the former when tbey re
turned to New York seeking a re-election,
can be appropriately uttered by
Blaine, W indom A Co. Go on ; It is
nolunoralofonrs. AlltllolcM"damph
pbooliim" and mora square attention
to basiueaa will suit the country far
better.

WELL SAID.
The Philadelphia Times comos
timo in this way : "It is not true, as
has been frequently assorted lately
that tho widow of Abraham Lincoln
wasscurvily treated by Congress. That
body occupied itself with Mrs. Lin
coin s anairs on tlireo several occa
sions. Tho first time, immediately af
tor the aasasaination, a law was paused
bestowing a year of her husband's sal
ary upon tho widow. This was t2
000. Still later an act was passed per
mitting Mrs. Lincoln to have all letters
sent to her frco of pout ago and her own
correspondence was likowiso franked
Still later, in 1870, a law was passed
giving the widow 13,000 a year for
lifo. Mrs. Lincoln, however, never was
before the country in forma pauperis,
Her husband was not a money-getting
man, but he was frugal. Ho loft
modest property, qoito enough for
woman of Mrs. Lincoln's tastes and ac
quirements. The fact is, thore is some
thing repugnant in the clamor to Con
grcas to vote away publio moneys in
casoa where it would bo in far better
keeping to take no band in the mat
tor. Mr. Garfield, as it happens, leaves
his wifo with some resources, and the
subscription, if it continues growing,
will soon settle all questions of bis
widow's needs. This, after all, is
much preferable way to asking tbe
intervention of Congress, since the
people tbcmsolves give in proportion
to their means. Tbore may bo some
outlays of the late President that ought
to bo paid by the Nation, but the fewer
precedents of this sort the better It
will be for tbe country."

This proclamation is all right; but
we hope John VV'olsb, and "other bust
nosa and commercial men," who wore
so wonderfully excited over publio af
fairs last Fall on CASH ACCOUNT
will now assist to uphold tbe country
on the PATRIOTIC plan see that
President Arthur, who waa so abso.
lutcly condemned by bis prodocosdor,
behavoa himself.
Cornerino. One of the editorial
staff belonging to the Philadelphia
Imn, is gunning for a prominout Bad
ical statesman in this way: ''Somebody
will have to orgamio an exploring ex
podition to search for ex Speaker Grow,
who has been missing for a long time,
This is a poriod in the political history
ol Pennsylvania when his opinion is
wanted. It is quite Important to
know whether he is as independent
now as he was last Winter when Wolfo
led the revolt in his behalf and smash
ed tho machine arrangements. Grow
is the man who should load tho revolt
in behalf of Wolfo now. and with his
eloquence fire the Slate and smash the
machine. There is a vory big opening
lor ex bpcakor lirow tins year."
"Boss Kt Ll." This is the political
element that seems to disturb the
thoughts of our Radical exchanges
That kind of (Camoron) rule has pre
vailed In this State for ovor twenty
years without wincing at tbe fact.
finally a WOLF has been aroused,
and proposes to trot over theuoursein
the capacity of an Indepondont candi
date for Slam Troasurer. Like the
boast of the same name, be "shows his
teeth" but he won't bite .anybody. If
President Arthur gives him a place to
day he will be quiet to-morrow. Dem
ocrats need not bother about work to
elect Noblo.

words: "The cynosure of all eyes was
General Hancock. Rivals as they wore
in life for the oflico of Chief Magistrate,
fresh from the stress and fury of a ter
rible political contest, thore ia chivalry
in the sorrow of the defeated cham
pion for the death of his antagonist
tho I attracts all hearts. People re
member Garfield's own words when
he defeated Thurman for the Senator-
hip; 'The flowers that bloom ovor
the wall of party politics aro the swoet-
est and most fragrant tiial bloom In
the gardens of the world.' Hancock
is here In a representative capacity.
As a soldier he shows honor to bis
comrade and chief; as a leader of tbe
Democracy he puis bis eeal of condom
nation upon Bucoesslul treason. No
one in that famous company was more
noted or noteworthy than tbe bronzed
and brilliant Major Gonoral, who tow
ered above bis fellows in the grandeur
and splonder of a glorious manhood."

bill every time hoiscu'ltd to the front.
The following lire his remarks on tak
ing the t'hiiir
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of firthe amount of wisdom evolved. A
tWcnfiOM : There oro no off years! lending Now York dully announces
in Democratic hopes or Democratic
exertions. I'rolouiitlly appreciating
tho cull which your purtiulity has ex
tended to mo, I am not innunaible to
thorespotmibililies which its acceptance
involve. 1 trimt 1 need not nay that 1
will endeavor to discharge Itiotn with
out fear, favor or allection. 1 am not
unmindful that the long shadow of the
peoples' grief fall athwart any public
gathering of these times; and that tho
whole iU'pulilio laments the calamity,
which lias befallen it in tho anaaHnina
tion of the Chief Magistrate A pplause.
Depreciating aa they do any assat
upon tho dignity of eatublmlied ollico
by fraud or lorce, the Democrats ap
plause of Pennsylvania siiivurely join
in Ibis universal sorrow and sympathy
which this Iragiu oveul has awakened
throughout tho civilized world. All
the ruoro deeply do they feel the no
cossity of re-altl ruling by their words
and by their "works, their fidelity to
the principles of those illustrious men
who settled our tree institutions and
lounded the Democratic pat ty to pre
sorvo them. Applause. Those who
look for the Democratic State Conven
tion to react tho ancient landmarks
will, 1 trust, look 'in vain. Tune la
only vindicating the essential princi
pals of Democracy to truly save tho
life ot tho Nation ; and to keep each
part ol our well devised constitutional
system in full vigor and tree cxerciao.
To re assert rather than to tako the
deparluro from f'ailb delivered to the
lathers, and to nominate candidates
who aro tho embodiment thereof is tho
olliot) of such convention!. In the
measure that this is done with tho
people of the Commonwealth approve
tho deliverance of tho party ? That
plodgo 1 may bo allowed to say in
volves a declaration for honest money,
home rule, fair elections and economy
in tho expenses of government. Ap
plause. And against all schemes of
centralization, against waste of fraud
in tho administration of the public
business. Aguiust repudiators and
repudiation, Applause and against
tbo growth and exactions of subsidies
lo corporations at the peoples' expense.
Applause A long career of faith
lulness to tho public trust bus informed
tho people ot this Commonwealth of
iho dishonesty of purpose ot the lie
publicun party. Applause. Recent
events have quickened publio appro
bennion of tho futal resulu of tho slate
of its longer continuance in power,
and tho formidable rebellion every
where assorting itself aguinat personal
corruption and political dynasties,
gives protniso that tho day of Penn
sylvania's deliverance is near at band.
Applause. Honest men aro becom
ing hopeful, with good reason, that in
tho near fuluro a better political creed
is horo to prevail than that of ' addi
tion, divisionand silence." Applause.
These signs ot the times point the way

as 1 know it will.it will justify the

If it shall arraign the opposition lor
its sins of omission, and lor its deeper

"If it had not been for Sergeant
Mason's hurry," said a soldier of tho
Second artillery on Tuesday, "Guitoau
would havo beon out of the way by
this time. Wo had arranged every
thing," said he, "and would have car
ried out our plan on the following
night. Mason's individual tiro had
nothing to do with us, and, indeed it
broko up tho whole thing, for thai
night he was removed to a coll whore
no one can shoot him from the outside
if they want to." The soldier thon
detailed all iho preliminaries in regard
to the organization ot the conspiracy.
Said ho to tho Now York Herald cor
respondent: "Now that tho whole
thing ia a matter of the past 1 will tell
you all about it. We were sick of tbo
duty wo wero doing guarding tho jail
and being required lo remain on tho

would be banned wo mitrht as woll
shoot him and thus avoid tho expense
and trouble of trying him. Thai
orening at supper ono of the men
asked him if he was serious about it.
Ho replied that ho was. There wero
few words said aboul it, and at least a
dozon said they would tako "art in it.

'I'"" I'rtwidnwy pro f m.oiv of tho
tj,,!,,.,, HMn J lw
unwti,,,, jai now. The henalu hits
won aiimiiione.l ill extraordinary sea
tii fhitlly fur the piirposo of electing
a auilalilu perron to I'l l that t.llice, in
order lo prevent ho existetico cf an
anarchical interregnum in tho event
ol President Arthur's disability or
dent h. This nntioual exigency has
tailed into exercise tho ability of cer
tain prominent journals in expounding
tho Conatitution and the laws enacted
thereunder. And btarllim. indeed, in
that there is nothing iu tho Consiitu
lion lo prevent tho election as Presi
dent ;iro tem. of a person not a Sena
tor; and suggests Thurman, Grunt
and other prominent gentlemen lor
that position. That tho Constitution
docs not forbid such a course, is true ;
but it is equally true that neither tho
Constitution nor the law provides for
any such extraordinary and revolu
tionary proceeding. H has beon al
ways the custom of iho Senate to elect
a member ol that body in such case,
and, in the absence of legal enactment,
custom has made i lie law in this emer
gency. Except by a revolutionary
act, no ono not a Senator con be elect
ed President ro tem. ot tho Sonato.
Nor is there any necessity tiir such
proceeding, even from Iho partisan
standpoint of tho Now York journal
alorementioned. That proposition is
based on the absurdity that if a Sena
tor be elected President ho will lose
bis voto on all questions except where
there is a tie. This is obviously un
true. As priding officer ho would
lose neither his vote nor his voice on
any question. Tho Vice President in
in thai category, but no Senator can
bo placed iu it. Tho only wav in
which a Senator can lose his voto or
his voice is by dying or by following
tno lotnarkahle example ol Conklitia!
and Piatt. There is no other possible
way for a Senator to lay asitlo the
duties and privileges of his position.
following tho New York journal's
lino 01 argument, our venerable con
temporary, tho American, says : "The
question is raised because it would
seem vi give tno jjomocrata the con
trol. Suppose, for example, tho Dem
ocrats should choose Borne ex Senator
Tbey could then retain all their
strength, and ct'11 havo n Democratic
oflicer to break tho tie. In other
words, ihey would put a Democrat
in Mr. Arthur's place without tho loss
ol a Menalor. II, however, they should
elect Mr. Bayard or Mr. Beck, Dela
ware or Kentucky would lose a Sena
tor. It our contemporary has
any further doubts on iho subject
it will find, by referenoo to the (.'en
grcssional Record, that Iho vole of Hen
ttor Kerry, whon holding the position
of President pro tem., was in every
case whon he was present whon a vote
was recorded counted and printed
among tho official record of yeas and
nays. The mistake in regard lo the
mailer probably arises from the pro
sumption that in such a case as tho
present ono tho presiding officer of tho
Senate assumes the functions of the
Vice President of tho United States,
and as such has only a casting voto in
tbe event of a tio. Such, however, is
not tho fact, as we havo already
clearly shown. Baltimore Gazette.
THE FO.XY COOPER.
The Patriot, in alluding to a cam
paign dodgejuat adopted by Iho Radi
cal Chairman of tho Stato Committee
says: 1 ho stylo is tho man. When
Governor Hnyt was Chairman ol tbe
Republican Siato Committee his cam
paign bulletins greatly resembled those
ol iho first Napoloon. They wero
resonant of military phrases and were
constantly urging the charge upon the
enemy. Chairman Cessna bad a more
subdued, but somewhat pictorial stylo.
Tho style ot Chairman Cooper is still
different. His may ho called the
mousing style. In a circular to the
Republican organs, which was by mis
lake sent to tho Pittsburgh Dispatch,
Chairman Cooper recommends to them
as "wise policy" in regard to Mr.
Wollo "to advertiso him as littlo as
possible for Iho remainder of the cam
paign." He adds that "ibis policy
hus pursued with advantage as to
Prohibitory, Greenback and other side
arrangements," and ho thinks that its
wisdom will bo "more apparont than
over in the present instance."
Thus admonished, tho organs aro to
say never a word about Wollo for tho
rest of the campaign. By treating
him in Ibis way Chairman Coopor
supposes that tho masses of the Repub
lican party who havo cxtromoly short
memories will forget that be is a can
didate and march up on election day
and voto tbo regular machlno ticket
By ignoring so dangerous an enemy
as Wolfo the Chairman thinks lie will
bo persuaded to disappear. That is
not tho way Governor Uoyt conducted
a campaign when chairman or candi
date. Imegino with what impetuosity
Governor Hnyt would havo rushed
down on Wolfo's irregulars at the
head of his well disciplined regular
troops. But Chairman Coopor pro
poses that his buglers instead ol
sounding to tho charge shall retreat
from tho field in tho hopo that Wolfe
and his supporters will Imitato their
oxamplo. J ho chairman a mothod
may be a vory good ono with Green
backers and Prohibitionists except
wncn ii is auvisnnie lo make a coali

Tho main point of attack was, of!

thirty thousand dollars in this sale.
Tho three robbers curried the express

fearless in their movements and did
not t ake any pains lo conceal thoir fea

none of them wore whiskers and tbey

not lunch, it wttt u packu 'o ot bills,
but in their basto it was passed over
as Homellniiir ol no particular value.
It required but a very short space til

men turned their attention to tho
passengers. Before thu occupants of

tirely discovered what the mutter was
tho door was thrown open and tho
three robbers rushed in.
"Hold up your hands !" shouted ono

from almost every one, making quitoa

robbers had it all their own way. It
was all done so quickly that heloro the

Tbe choice of Hon. Orango Noble

steadfastly resisted Ibat vast and un
scrupulous monopoly when somo other
oil producers succumbed to its power
and became sharers of its spoils. His
fidelity to the cause of tho producers
was amply demonstrated in tho last
session ot tho legislature by his earnest
support ol the ireo nipo bill as a mem
ber of tho House. Tho bill passed tbe

defeated by tho advocates and attor

If all these voted with the 132 Demo

Since the licpuhlicann claim was
