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 !

tien, that body is moved, as we inleiprel
it, net se much by a prefer cure
for the persons or political .stand

All three of the X.v Yerk factions
whose men marched te Albany, en de..d
hcad tickets, no doubt, have some geed
men aud .some bad me:r in theift. A
glance ever the names siiewslittle differ
once between them, and some ni"ii who
seem te alternate from one te the eth.-r

it will at least have done one geed thing :
and it is te be s lid, in bjh.ili of the dan

Xe one can say that the Democratic

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

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

absence from home.
Yeu say trulytli.it it is a high' compliment
t have been made the nominee when se
many vveithy gentlemen were competitor
for the position. I am gratified te knew
that the livahy fei the nomination was of
the most fiiendly character, both before
and dining the sessions of the convention,
anil assure you that, if the choice had
fallen upon any one of the candidates, my
fiiends and myself would have given him
a icadyaiid active support. The reflec
tion te which you se appiepiiately refer
that the nomination "vvas uninfluenced by
faction, con upt combinations or Dess dic dic
titierr" adds very much te my apprecia
tion of the honor.
I accept tire nomination with a lull
undeistanding of the lespensibiiity rt im

fidence icpescri iu me by the convention is
l.ititied by the people they shall net be
disappointed m their just expectations.

be taken te employ none but pine, com

ei the office will always be open for the

the icvcnucs impailially, and iu every way
possible te piometo the inteicsts of the

The platteim is one of the boldest and

for many yen s. These poitiens especial

accord with my life-long convictions, and I
cannot doubt that they wi'l be approved
by the people. While I would net take

KAILY CONVENTION.
!l?;ibltci!i Teu'.
New I.1.1, IJ uly Oigan.
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 ;"

Until some receids, or accounts, or liv

the truth of these charges I am mistaken
iii the sense of " fair play " in the minds
of the people of Pennsylvania if they con
sent that the memory of the dead shall be
outraged for any jvusen.il or political re

Allen II. Lichen, WrfUsburre, Pa. :
My attention has been called te lemaiks
made by Chas. S. Wolfe at Titusville. In
my own behalf, and in their i elation te
myself, I desiie te say that they aia .sub
stantially and circumstantially 'false.
I have never been concerned, alone nr
in connection with etheis, m any scheme
of sjieculatien as he charges. I have
never owned or controlled, alone or with
ethers, a baud of ciude jieti eleum, or
ccitiiic.de lepiescutms: such." I hive never
had occasion te dccl.ue 1113 self for or
against a tax, either 011 deuicks or etude
oil. I have never had a transaction iu
stocks, or in any manner of business, with
Colonel M. S. Quay, either in partueiship
or in any ether fei 111 or lclatien. I have
never had a financial or ether business
ti ansae tien with Hen. J. D. Camoreu or
Henry W. Oliver, jr., nor has either ad
vanced one dollar te me, en my account or
in ray behalf. I never had the use or con
trol or possession of one dollar belonging
10 the stale ticasury. Xer has there ever
been a deficit of any kind in the state
treasury glowing out of any transaction
in which I have ever been concerned.
The lien. Simuel Butler, state tieasu
ier, and the fiicuds ami legal lejneseuta
tives of Colonel A. C. Xeyes, late tieasu
ier, can make clear their administration of
the ticasury dcjiaitmcnr.

1 rej)cat, when Butler took charge of
the ticasuiy there was, and has been ever
since, a current rumor that Governer IIeyt
Matthew S. Quay and Blake Walteia wcie
speculating with the state moneys. Here
is a statcmcut fiem jour weithy towns
man. Governer IIeyt. 1 wish te give him
the benefit of it, and then I wish te make
an explanation. He 1 end the telegram at
length, and then took it up, sentence by
sentence. J Governer IIeyt savs he never
owned or controlled a barrel of petroleum,
a certificate, etc. I never said se. He
says he never declared himself for
or agamst a lax, etc. i nave never
said se. He denies having had auy
transaction in stocks with Colonel
Quay iu partnership, etc. I did
net say se. I sai I that theic undoubtedly
was, and I have what 1 regairi as pcifectlv
lcliable information that it is true, that
he was sieculating with the statu moneys.
I did net say it was with Quay or with
Blake Walteis. As te the governor's de
nial of business transactions with Cameren
or Oliver, I never charged it. I did say it
was undei steed that M. S. Quay was re
lieved by Ilciny W. Oliver, jr., and 1 un
derstand that Governer Heyfc made up his
own deficit. Xew lieie is thepaitlcan-
II it undcistand : ' I have never had
the use, contiel or jiossessien of one
dollar, etc." lie docs net say he has
never h.11! the juelits. He may nccrhavc
had a dollar in his use control or jiosscssien
Thcie is no deficit. I have said se. It
was made geed, but nevertheless there
was the sjieculatien with the state moneys
and that is an impeachable eticnse. I he
ovcrner savs Butler and Xeyes' lcpre- j
scntivps can make clear their lespcetivc
administrations. I bone they can. I did
net come heie te insult your fellow towns
man aud governor. I have net come heie
te insult Att0111eyGene1.il Palinci. I have
come te tell plain, unvarnished tiuths. It
is just as much my duty te tell them heie
te-night in this community as te go away
oft' te Titusville te tell them, Yen would
legairi me as a coward if I would tell there
what I am afraid te say here.

All the members jircscnt lej.eitcd fiem

Mr. Win. L. Scott, whose chief interests

Mr. Xeble will get into dillcrent jaits

Returns of the election in Ohie, held

last year, and 1,507 in 1S79. Part of this

Wc clip from the Carlisle Jfirrer of ye.s
terday the following extract from the le le
jieit of euc of the committees of the late
tab of the agi ieultural society of Cumber
land county. . It eucht te convince the
me,t skeptical that the Ixtelligexcer's
reecut sketch of the Indian traiutug
school was net en the least overdrawn :
"The Indian Training school had en
exhibition a large aud most creditable
display of .11 tides, manufactured exclusive
ly by the girls and boys of that institution.
They consisted of clethiug, tinware, beet-.,
shoes, harness, blacksmith work, doers,
sash, spokes; light wagon both wee I ami
iron weik having been done by the Indians.
Thcie wcie also exhibitions of pcumau
shij), free-hand .drawing and jwttery
decoration. The ai tides manufactured
gave cviriei ce of taste and skill, as well as
thorough w 01 kmaushiji. The boys have
worked at the trades only from G te 14
months, se tint their proficiency is quite
lemarkabie. Seme of them, we understand,
earned money and jyul therr way te this
school in order te secure the benefits of its
training. It was conceded that this dis
jilay formed one of the chief features of our
exhibition and that it was universally
admiied aud commended by visitors as
wvll as exciting their weuiler. The com
mittee, in making this report, believe that
they will express the sentiment of our en
the community, in stating that the facility
with which the Indians acquire a knowl
edge of the sevcraL trades and the 1 udi
meuts of an English education, the zeal,
p iticnce and industry exhibited by them,
have been a matter of astonishment, aud
demonstrate the possibility of transforming
them into intelligent, industrious aud ei
pable cituens. It is also a matter of note
that this i.inre collection of boys and girls,
numbeiiug 300, are as orderly and well
behaved as that of any school we h ive
known, and that net a single vicious or ,
even indeeoieus act en their part has ever
been observed during their visits te our
boieugli, or iu their intercourse with our
citizens.
