Hanrastrt rnidh&enrcr. WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. 12, 1881. Innocent and Ignorant. Governer Hevt, we are glad te say, promptly denies the allegation of Mr. "Wolfe that lie has been engaged with Secretary of .State Quay and the late cashier of the treasury in speculating in oil with the funds of the slate. Tie affirms that he has never been in any way an owner of oil, lier has he ever bean connected in a business way with Secretary Quay, Senater Cameren or would-be-Senater Oliver; nor has he sought te influence the taxation of oil deuicks by the Legislature. He gives te all of Mr. Wolfe's charges an eM'lirit denial, and we lepeat that we are glad that he is able te de it, nor are we disap pointed; for Govcrnei Hejt'a char acter is much better than that Of his political company among the peo ple of the state, and it is net sur prising that a man of his gentlemanly instincts and self-iespcct should have lieen above the low bisiness with which Mr. "Wolfe charges him. In the matter of the pardon of Kemblc and the handling of the Mellie Maguire vote Governer Ileyt seemed te have touched pitch ; but we knew nothing else in his public record te challenge the confidence of the people in his entire integrity. But what of Mr. Welle ? The 'cham pion of reform seems te h.ie get himself into a. hole. The one thing which he needed te avoid was the bringing of false accusations against the members of the paity which he has .set himself out te purify. Tlieie is such an abund ance of solid ground for him te stand upon iu assailing the proved scamps who control the Republican oig.uii.itieu th.it we did net suspect that Wolfe would be guilty of the felly of springing his tiap against any one whom it would net catch. That is a sort of indiscretion that is worse than a crime in his present undertaking. lie needs te prove his cv.se against the governor or show go id cans for his suspicion, if he would maintain himself before the people. W believe he reached out tee far v. lien he under- ioek 10 uirevv me governor m among the wild beasts, and he is likely te find hiin something of a Daniel en his hand , About the ether creatines doubtless he has made no mistake. The goveniei is :i trifle tee innocent when he intimates' his opinion that the people won't believe there has been anything wieng in the ! treasury. We believe it. and knew it ; ' aud se does Governer ITev I . Whei efei c his pietence of ignorance ? Hair-splitting. The adherents of Simonton for the ' Dauphin judgeship pretend te believe' that the vote of Dauphin county alone will decide his election, since that is the ' judicial district and Lcb uien is but an' aiuRiiiueuL in n. Aimt, is rue urea upon . which the claim is made as neaily as wv can undersland it; though it seems se! flimsy as te be baldly appreciable te the sense certainly it is un.ippieciable le j common sense. Kveiv man of erdinaiv i. 1 1 i - ?- r, i j . , I intelligence will undeilake at once lode lede cide that when Lebanon county u added te the Dauphin judicial district, the voters of Lebanon aie added te the voters of Dauphin, as the body te whom the election of the judge of the district is entrusted ; and no such per son can be peisuadcd that there i? anv thing iu the const itutien, the laws r the decisions of the com Is which will maintain the absuidily that enlv the voters of Dauphin can vote for the judge of Dauphin and Lebanon. That proposi preposi tion settles itself as seen as it is slated te the ordinary apprehension ; but net te the exliaeidinaiy minds of Simonton and his friends. And it ssems te us that herein is a very suilL'ient h.im.k we antiunion Mieims ue rejectee! a- a candidate for judge. Manifestly he is unfit. A lawyer who is se incline I " te split a hair tvvii 1101' and net "wet side " is net fit for the bench, especially when h"! splits it iu favor of himself. Simonton conclusively proves himself te be neither bread enough 111 his mind nor honest enough in his heart te take the honeied seat of Pe.usen. Away with him ! Ix lecegniing the se-called ' ceuntv Democracy, "' of Xew Yeik city, as the properly chosen and truly representative delegates te the Xew Yerk state cenveu. tien, that body is moved, as we inleiprel it, net se much by a prefer cure for the persons or political .stand ing of these who compose lite dele gation, le the exclusion of Jiving and Tanrmiiiy halls, as by a dispo sition te recognize and ailinu the light or the party te elect its delegate, le state conventions by a p ipul.ir and net by auy " exclusive " or ': select ' sv.slem.

F.tiily and fully administered this is the light plan of course ; thus far it .seems te have b?en impjssible le get such an adminis tration of it in the laige cities, wheic the vicious, ceurrt te suit thems'dve', the votes of the decent men who de net go te the primaries. m - Tin: Philadelphia P, c distilgmshcd for its suggestion of the assassination of the Stalwart el Stalwarts whom Stal wartGuiteaus bullet made "president howls ever the Democratic nullification of the constitutional guarantee that ' no state, without its consent, shall be de prived of its equal suffrage in th Senate," in net swearing in the Xew Yerk senators before there was any one lawfully autlieried te swear them in. "Will the Press please tell its readers hew 'long a Republican Senate encekejft Xew Jersey disfranchised and hew many S mthern states have again and again been deprived of their senatorial repre sentation for months and years ! Xe one can say that the Democratic candidate for state tieasuier dots net come up fully te the acceptance of the Democratic platform, or chaige that he is in any degree lukewarm in his protes tation of hostility te corporate aggres sion and of his devotion te the doctrine that the art of geed government is the securing of the greatest geed te the gieatest number. That is the way te talk and the way the people want their olliceie te think and act. Having no reason te doubt the sincerity of our can didate's declarations, the voter-, of the state who trust him with their ballets have all the assurance they can have that the eliice they would give i, iitly "bestowed.

The Republican state convention was contiellcd by the influence of the ji.nden be.uri. The action of that beairi was con demned by every honest man in the state, liven te this day no lcputablc citizen has the h.udihoed te attcmjit te justify or even apologize for that action. 'Attorney General Palmer, who acted as lloer man 1 gcr of the convention ever which Paiden Bess Quay presided, declared only a day or two befeic the outrage wascensummat ed that he would rather lese his light baud than consent te the jiaiden of the legislative bribers. He knew it was an outrage, and yet lie sinned against the light when the bosses de manded the sacrifice. It was known that when Tieasuier Butler was ready te enter upon the discharge of his official duties that thcie was a large deficiency in the ticasury, the money having been used by members of the administration and these in its confidence for speculative jv.rrpeses, which they were unable te make geed at honest Farmer Butler's demaud. After mere than a week's delay the mat ter was put in such shape as te be satisfacteiy, for the time being, te the new incumbent, but it was by no means satis facteiy .te the ictiring tieasuier, who had been iu ignorance of what was going en until he was called en fjr a settlement, and would net have been satisfactory te ihe people had they known the ical facts. These facts were known te the men who assumed contiel of the state conventien: aud because they were known te them they obtained fiem the convention an un qualified endeiscment of an aclmiuistra-' tien whose members had outraged justice and public sentiment by jiaidening legis lative bribers aud some of whom had been speculating upon the public funds in violation of law and had been caught " sheit." The icsult is that the great Rcjrablican jiarty of Pennsylvania is te-day placed in an anomalous position. With an over whelming majority of its voters in deep sympathy with the principles and policy of the party of Lincoln and Garfield ; with a candidate for state treasurer of unexcep tionable record, as a citizen and soldier, against whom, personally or officially, his bitterest partisan opponents have net been able te bring even "a railing accusation ;" and with a uomince en the Democratic ticket who cannot arouse the enthusiasm of his paity, but has incuned the oppesi tien of his home party organ and inspired lukewarmness in ethers ; with all these conditions in our favor we find that, with in a month of the election, a grave doubt exists in well-infeimed political circles whether the Republican nominee c iu be elected, no one pietendiug that lie will poll the whole paity vete el" an eif j'ear.
