The general Is a roady and lluent speaker,
a bright scholars and possesses other charac

candidate much stronger, Indeed than St.

are well equipped with lucre to meet cam

strenuous effort to poll a big vote, especi

let the fight be a jolly one.
FOB ATJDITOE QENEPAL OF PENN'A.
The Cambria county Democrat In Its last
Issue suggests and advocates the Hon. Al
fred Short, of Eric county, as a strong and
proper man to be placed In nomination by
the Democratic Stato Committee for Audi
tor General. This suggestion has the Ad
Vocate's hearty approval; first because
Mr. Short fully meets the requirements of
the Jeffersonlan rulo, as pertains to public
servants, "is he fit, Is he capable, is he
honest;" second, ho Is an honorable, up-
right and uncomprlsing Democrat; third,
he possesses that strength with tho voters
so essential to success. Ills record as a
Democrat and as a public servant Is with
out a blemish. In this respect be It noted,
that he Is the peer of any man.
As a member of the Pennsylvania Legis
lature his career Is one that docs credit to
any man. While a member of this body
the Pittsburg Riot Bill, of savory fame,
was considered. This was an era of legls
. latlye bribery, debauchery and prostitution
never before equalled. It made peniten
tiary convicts of such men as W. IT. Kern
ble, Emll Petroff, Kumbcrger and others,
men who were high In public esteem and
position. Tet through all this period of
temptation and gain, not the semblance- of
an Imputation, either as to a corrupt act or
dishonorable motive, was ever brought
against the excellent and creditable career
of Mr. Short.
The Democratic Stato Committee could
go much further and not find a better or
stronger candidate for Auditor General.
When men of such calibre and rectitude are
brought to tho front for so Important a
position It bodes good for clean politics and
honest methods In tho administration of
public affairs. For the reasons thus stated
wo neartliy ana earnestly second tho sug-
gestlon ot tne Cambria Democrat. .

BROADBRIM'S 1 Y. LETTER.
Last fall, after a most desperate political
Struggle, Col. J. R. Fellows was elected
Prosecuting Attorney of the city of New
ioiJtoyerueiancy jmicoi, a jjcmocral like
nimseif, ootn 01 the rival candidates being
assistants In the office of the District At-
lorney, wno was eibvaiea to the District
Judgeship. Various charges wero made
against Mr. Fellows at the time, but these
appeared to have little or no weight with
the machine and the voters that the ma-
chlno controlled. So, assisted by Republl-
can Jonny O'Brien and Barney O'Rourke
of the Eighth Assembly District, Mr. Fel-
lows scratched through with a small major-
lty. Air. O'Brien was allowed to keep his
Office In the Bureau nf Elections though an
army of good Democrats was hungering
and thirsting for his place, and an Indict-
ment which had hung over Barney
O'Rourke's bead for years In the office of
the District Attorney was Immediately
colled as soon as Mr. Fellows got posses-
slon of the office. It Is not a pleasant thing
to see tha District Attorney of a great city
like this occupying the position of a crlml-
nal, but such was tho case this week when
Mr. Fellows was called upon to tell what
ha bad done with a dead man's property
which had been entrusted to his charge,
Tha CM was a partition suit between th
ostato of GesclieWt ami Kuhno; Mr.
iow8 gol $7i000 of the estate and tha
Fel-
that was
the last of It. In his examination beforo
tho court his memory utterly failed lilra as
to what ho had dono with tho money till
tho opposing counsel refreshed his memory
by telling him that ho had gambled It away.
Men who have done less than this aro In
States Prison by dozens. It would bo
rather humiliating to seo our District At
torney with shackles on his legs on his way
to '.ho State's big hotel at Sing Sing. Ho
got tho money of the Geshcldt estato, and
though years have passed he has never paid
It. The whole affair 1ms a very ugly look
and It Is especially bad for a District At
torney.
Job was an old gentleman who lived sev
eral years beforo the Christian era and ivas
quite celebrated for his patience In his day
and generation. I doubt It they over had
any .Methodist Conferences In tho land of
Uz in his time, for If they did and any Im
pertinent usher had called htm a dirty
loafer I havo no doubt he would hayo
blmmed him a paster on tho nose, just as
tho Reverend E. II. Moore, of Denver Uni
versity, did the othor day to an usher at tho
Metropolitan Opera House when an Insult
of like character was hurled at him.
Tho reverend gentleman denies tho past
er, but tlio usuer says that no nearly uroko
his jaw, and the clergyman replies that It
was a mercy of Providence that he didn't,
for if he had only taken a moment for re
flection and shot cut with his left duke
there was more than a probability that
that particular usher might havo been a
subject for a coroner's Inquest. Dr Moore
Is well known not only In Denver whero ho
lives, but throughout tho enllro Methodist
denomination, as a gentleman of culturo
and a consistent Christian who Is an honor
to tho great clinch that he represents. It
was thought that ho certainly would have
been made a bishop up to the very last
moment, and while tho voting was going
on ho stepped Into the lobby, and as he
was rushiuc back in haste to record his
Vote, he was slopped by tho usher who de
clared that the minister gayo him a paster
on the nose. Several of the brothers rushed
out In the lobby to see the fun, and when
tha usher called the minister a dirty loafer,
two enthusiastic brethren from the west
cried out, "Give him one, Brother Jioore,
do give him one." Ah me, ah mo; there Is
a dreadful lot of tho old Adam left In the
best of us after all. It's an awful confes
slon to make, but I felt like betting two
dollars aud a quarter on tho dominie, and
from tho way ho put up tho Dyes I was sure
ho would knock tho usher out In tho first
round.
The fact is that Satan has been busy
among the chinches this week. I don't
know whether he is angry or not at tho
success of the Methodist Conference, but
he has certainly made it quite lively for tho
brcthern and sisters In some of tho church
es. In glon's colored church of Brooklyn
there has long been two factions, one party
thinking that dar wasn't sufflcent filosafy
In de preacher's sermons, and the rival
faction Insisting dat his discourses was too
evangelical; between them both his Rever
ence had rather a hard time. The collec
tions fell off till they only amounted to
fifty cents a week, and It became a serious
question how a man could support a family
of twelve, aud pay taxes on that amount.
On Thursday night some emissary of the
evil one shut off the light just as the
minister gavo out the text, "And darkness
prevailed." Deacon Johnson was near the
door, rolit the gas and swatted Trustee
Hubbard oyer the head with the contribu
tion box. Trustee Hubbard shot out his
left duke and landed Deacon Johnson
right under the communion table. Then
the minister took a hand In, and the breth
ren and sisters made It very lively for a
tlmo till a policeman rushea In and further
proceedings Wire suspended-
One of the most interesting places In
the city during tho week has been the
School Board, where an investigation has
been going on concerning the methods of
Mr. Jasper, the Supcrlnteneent of our
public schools. Wo have now two ladles
Ion our
School Board, Miss Dodge being
the principal in procuring the present ex
amination, Miss Dodgo had received
several letters concerning tho con
duct of a Miss Morgan who had long been
a teacher In the public schools, tho co-re
spondent being a gentleman by tho name
of Mastcrton. Tho matter was laid before
the Superintendent, and although the proof
seemed to be very direct Mr. Jasper retused
to pay any attention to It. This week Mr,
Jasper was put under flic, and the attorney
for the prosecution put him through a re.
ular civil service examination. The attorney
(or tho prosecution mada it oulle warm for

One of the neatest jobs of swindling that

Brooklyn on Wednesday. A nice, smooth

kecp, ono of tho fincst jewelry stores in
Brooklyn, and asked to see n diamond
cross. Several wero shown him, and at
last he picked out ono worth about six
hundred dollars, ordered It to he sent
down to a Catholic Institution presided over.
by tho Sisters of Charity, saying that he
wished to present It to the Mother Superior,
but he desired to show It to her before he
made the purchase to sec If It would suit
her. Ho then departed and shortly after
was followed by a salesman with tho cross
In an elecant box. Ho went straight to
the House of the Sisters of Mercv and asked
to see the Ladv Superior, whom hn told lm
had a little girl that ho desired to placo
under their care, and he had directed the
child's mother to meet him there that day,
and as she had not arrived, with their per-
mission he would wait for them In the
parlor. The Lady Superior told him lo
make himself comfortable aud handed him
a prayer-book to amuse himself with. He
was left alone In tho parlor and kept an
eie on the window, and when he saw the
salesman coming un the steps he did not
wait the man to ring, hut opened the door
for him and Invited him Into tho parlor,
and taking the box out of his hands said
that he would jut run uu stairs and show
it to the Lady Superior. Ho took the box
and vanished, and that Is tha last tint was
seen of the Ingenious swindler or the
diamond cross.
The lager heor strikers havg wirae to
grief as I prognosticated, awl are now In
sackcloth and ashes. When tlwy first,
struck, to be revenged on their oM em
ployers they rushed to tbe Central Labor
Unlou and requested them, through their
organlutlou to boycott all tbe United
Manufacturers' beer. The Central Union
compiled with their request and the battle
J began. It has now been going on. several
weeks and the promised aid from tho
Knights ot Labor has not been forthcom
ing. Tho men and their f tmlllcs are starv
ing, and on Sunday last they sent up a piti
ful petition to tho Central Labor Union to
tako off tho boycott from pool beer as the
brewers wlllnot tako a man back as long as
tho boycott remains. It was in vain that
they represented their pltlablo condition.
Tho Labor Union refused their petition
and left them to starve. There Is no
tyranny or oppression like that Inflicted on
working men by tho so-called Labor
Unions. A lot of fellows who havo not
done an honest day's work for years havo
becomo district deputies, walking delegates
and master workmen ; they get their fat
salaries white the poor strikers aro left to
starve.
Tho rebellion In Assembly 49 against
tho plg-hcadcd rule of Master Workman

IT IS OROVER CLEVELAND.
At one of the most enthusiastic aud
harmonious political conventions held In
years, S. Grovcr Cleveland on, Wednesday
at St. Louis, Mo., was unanimously ic
nominated for the highest olllcn In tho gift
of a f rco and equal people by tho Dctnoci ncy.
Grovcr Cleveland wits born on the 18th
of Jfarch, 1837, at Caldwell, Essex county,
New Jersey, and Is therefore 51 ycrs of
age. His ancestors had moved Into Now
Jersey from Connecticut, and many of"
them wero preachers. Ills father, born at
Norwich, was settled at Caldwell as a Con
gregational pastor, when Giovor was born.
He was educated first at tho excellent pub
lic schools of Now Jersoy, nnd then at an
accademy In Clinton. Oneida county, New
York. When only sixteen years old he
went to tho Metropolis to accept a clerk
ship In the Eyslum for tho Blind, whero he
Is still lovingly remembered. H'lien other
young men of his age would have 'devoted
their lclsuro hours to the pleasures of the
city, he was happiest when reading to tho
Inmates of tho lnstullon, and he thus Im
proved his own mind while relieving tho
ennui of tho afflicted. Ho Is next heard of
making his way west In company with an
enterprising young man, with Cleveland,
Ohio, as his objcctlyo point; but visiting
while on his way an undo residing In Buffa
lo, he was induced to remain in that city
as clerk lc tho store of his relative. Ho
was eighteen years of age at that time, an
ambitious young fellow, possessed of tho
earnest desire to becomo a successful lawyer.
ills unclo favored tills aspiration, and wo
find tho youth a clerk In the office of tho
Buffalo firm of Rogers, Bowden & Rogers
and at the samp tlmo enjoying the com
forts of a good homo at his relative's house,
Ho was duly admitted to tho Bar In 1800,
and remained with his old firm for jeara
Ills mark in the profession was made at
once, and In his twenty-sixth year he was
appointed Assistant District Attorney for
Erie county. This position, which he held
for threo yearsrgave him a thorough know
ledge of public affairs. In 1805, when the
Democracy was still under tho cloud of
the clyll war, ho accpted the nomination
for District Attorney, but was defeated,
In 1800 Mr. Cleveland became the law
partner of J. V. "Vanderpoel, and In 1800
be admitted Messrs. Lanlng anilFolsom to
the firm. In 1870 he was elected Sheriff of
Erie county. In 1831 he was nominated by
the Democratic party for Mayor of Buffalo,
and his name was hailed with enthusiasm
by all classes of the community. His plat
form was that of reform, and ho was tri
umphantly elected, running several thous
and votes ahead of his ticket. Ills Incumb
ency Of tho office was successful and popu
lar. Tho earliest reports from tho Demo
cratic Slate Convention snoko of Mayor
Cleveland's nomination for Governor of
New York in 1882, as a surprise to the
men who proposed the nomination, and he
was elected by an overwhelming and-mciu
orablo majoitt; over his competitor, Hon
Charles J. Kolger. On the 11th of July
1881, ho was nominated by the Democrat!
party as their candidate for the Presidency
of tho United .States, aud was duly elected
to tho position on tho 4th of November
18S4.
from Ihi Albany Timet.
REPUBLICAN POSSIBILITIES.
A remarkable aggregation of Republican poll
tlclaus from all over the United States were In
New York, and the earnest topic of conversation
was: Who shall he the Republican nominee for
President ?"
Sni'.nMAX. His nomination Is not looked
upon as one of tho contingencies, even by men
who admit that he Is likely, as matters now
stand, to present tha most formidable front In
the earlier balloting of the Convention. His
friends claim In the neighborhood of 300 votes,
and those most pronounced against his selection
concede him 200. Hut It U Impossible to indicate
whence any growth is to come from.be his origi
nal strength more or less. Senator Sherman
commands, In a icmarkable degree, the respeot
and confidence ot Republicans, but he docs not
possess the personal qualities which aro deemed
essential in a campaign like the one before us,
and the absence ot any pronounced sentiment In
favor of his nomination In the State of New York
Is considered fatal to him at Chicago.
Depew. Mr. Depew's prominence In conuec
tlon with tho canvass Is looked upon as one of
tho phenomenal! of politics. Mr. Depew ap
predates, as fully as any one, that bis uouilna
tlon would be n blunder, It it should be neces
sary, to effect it, to nntagonlre a pronounced and
widespread opposition on the part of the North
western States. The best Information Justifies
the conclusion that this opposition will be pre
sent at Chlcaco, and to a degree which Is not at
all autlelpaUd or comprehended In the East.
will come from the States of Iona, Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas. 1111
nols, and Indiana ; aud It goes without saving
mat mo Xiational Convention cannot make
nomination that meets with the united und'de
termlned opposition of all these States. I do not
think I ovcistato the case In saying that among
ino surewuest politicians who gathered in Ne
lork, the name of Chauncey M. Depew Is a!
ready eliminated from tho list of Preslden
ttal probabilities.
GnnsiiAsi.-Wocomo now to Walter Oresh
am, who has become, In somo ludescilble way.
central figure In every calculation now made of
the Chicago outcome. No one any longer at
tempts to deny Wat Judge Gresham Is u formld
able candidate. Hut there Is an element of weak
nejs In his candidacy which has grown as per
ceptlbly as his strength has grown, and which
need no longer be concealed, even It conceal
ment wero possible. Judge Gresham is to be
the target of the concentrated opposition of the
Ulstlncmely lliaine Influences In the Convention.
Some say that this Is due to the super-zealous
alacrity with which his advocates Insisted upon
the finality nf lllaine's Florence letter. Iiut that
It Is all nonsense. It has Its source In causes
tar ante-dating this year: and it Is theslnc!.
evidence of the present exuTtenco of the old fac
tional dh Itlons In the Republican party. Judge
OrMhaui held two portfolios In President
Arthur's Cabinet aud Is to-day a 1'ederal Judge
by Arthur's appointment. He is regarded as
the natural restduary of tho strong organization
wbkh appeared In Chicago four years ago to
"fK tbe nomination ot President Arthur, nnd
for that reaton, If for no other, he is looked upon
aluBM by the original Maine men. Tliey lu
m that to im Uresham Is to attempt to ru
mh mm periwtuate factional differences in the
party whteti elroumitames have tended to de
stroy. Tbey rittctw Oreeham's attitude in the
I it twefctenUaleanipalcni they refer dubiously
ta bw reeerd mi the proleettsu Issue; and they
make nweh ot the"-fait that although Judge
Gretbam is a , ttben of Indiana, the delegates
j item mat wu titer another candidate, who
was, four years ago, a Maine man w hen Qresham
as for Arthur.
llArtntsoN. Harrison has the great advantage
over Gresliam that the Indiana delegates are for
lilm, and very strongly for him. Dut Harrison's
nomination would hare to be effect odjn the faco
of strenuous opposition from the Qresham men;
aud a feeling may easily be engendered that
would endanger the Stato of Indiana, even with
an Indiana man at the head ot tho ticket. Hut
forthls complication, It would seem to many
shrewd observers that Senator Harrison occu
pies the most favorable position ot nny ol the
candidates. Kven with this In full view, t have
found not a few who have made up their minds
that llciijanihi Harrison a treat name to con
jure with will be the next nomlnco of tho party
and tho next President of tho country.
Allison. Senator Allison's friends havo be
como very aggressive slnco Mr. Illalnc's ettcr,
and their confldenco rests Upon tho basis of tho
friendly relations that havo always existed be
tween the Iowa Senator and Mr. Blaine and his
friends. Hut thcrd are considerations militat
ing against his nomination which possesses an
Influence not to bo gainsaid. One of them Is the
tact that there Is no strategic Justification for
Allison's selection. He comes from the State of
Iowa, as certain as Pennsylvania or Vermont to
cast her electoral votes for the Republican can
didate. Another Is the fact that his own per
sonality, unobjectionable as it Is, affords no rea
son for his nomination, In spile of the absenco ot
any strategic reason therefore. A third objec
tion to Allison Is found in tho fact If It be a fact
which I neither assumo nor deny that his record
on the tariff question Is not of that Ironclad
charatcr which the logic of the situation requires
In tho Itepubllcnn candidate for tho Presidency.
Unless Senator Allison's friends can eliminate
this rrltlclsm from tho canvass, his success at
Chicago is out ot tho question.
Almn. There remains ex-Uov. Alger, ot
Michigan.) and of him It Is a suggestive fact that
not one of the objections suggested In tho case
of tho other candidates seems to obtain. He
comes from a Stato which the Administration
us been hopeful of cairylng on the revenue ie-
form Issue. Ho Is antagonized by no one, and
encounters direct opposition In no quarter. On
Iho contrary, the friends of all the oilier candi
dates speak of him In the highest and most
friendly terms; and It is particularly observed
that a union upon him would wlpo out the divis
ion lines that nave been drawn so sharply In the
One other statement should he miutn. ami timf
is, that there appears no ground to anticipate
a struggle at Chicago which w 111 contain any ele
ments 01 uiuerncss, or jeopard in nny wav the
prospect ot Republican success In the Fall.
