LANCASTEK ?DA1LY INTELLIGENCER SATURDAY APRIL S 1882. ' iLavuastei intelligencer. 8ATDBDAY EVENING, APBHj 8, 1882. Wky We Laagh. Simultaneously With the results of the Republican primaries in Philadelphia te.. fit out a delegation for the Cameron Cameren Quay convention, is published some cer respendence between Wharten Barker J and Senater Mitchell. Barker wre te the senator, whom he helped te make snch,that the party in this state was going te pieces, because " Senater Cameren never has thought it worth while for him te see tbe men of Philadelphia who con trol in financial and official affairs such men as William Sellers, Daniel B. Cum mins, Jeseph Wharten and Edward C. Knight" and presumably Wharten Barker ; and he wanted te knew what Mitchellwas going te de about it. Mitchell answered in effect that he feels it, he knows it, he deplores it, that he ha3 felt it and known it and deplored it for a long time. " But," it is one thing te diagnose' and another te cure ; he " hopes " that Mr. Barker who is ex cluded from even voting at a Republi can primary will see te it tbat Philadel phia sends a better delegation te the next state convention than usual ; there must be a change of leadership, " if " net of leaders ; " but " such a change of front in the face of a well-disciplined adversary is a very dangerous feat ; he does " net believe in the political methods tee much and tee long prac ticed In our state," and will oppose them, " but " he must be allowed te de it in his own way ; lie is willing te de anything he can te unite and strengthen the Republican party for the work which lies before it, " but" while the necessary change of leaders is going en or possibly before it be gins, material dangers threaten the party by threatening " the tariff, the currency, the even tenor of trade, and the encour agement of commerce abroad. These will suffer while we cress the stream, unless we make sure of our footing in passing." What is needed, according te Mitchell " is a representative cenvcu tien, with a will and mind of its own a body of men who will rellect the senti ment of the localities they represent, who shall confer, deliberate and decide what is for the best as te men for the front, and as te measure for their guid ance in ellice." And, te get all this, Mitchell advises Barker te " invite a meeting of geed men, first a few in quiet and later mere, and se carry your dele gate elections for geed men who have the confidence of both sides. There must be a multiple for each side. It must be found sooner or later, and the sooner the better for all." And this conglomeration of " ifs"and " buts" which its own writer admits is i quite unsatisfactory" is paraded by the Pmsas ' a forcible and manly paper, wiucu win deepen me puDiic re spect for ' its author." " It exhib its ability, character, strength and individuality. It is wholly in the spirit of Mr. Mitchell's election." What utter uensense ! If Mr. Barker were a stronger man than he is he might reason ably be suspected of a deeply satirical design in waiting te publish this letter until after the Republican primaries of Philadelphia had fixed a delegation for llarrisburg, made up of such as Shetweli, McManes, Rewan, Bunn, ''Bill" Doug lass. Leeds, Smyth and ethers of that feather. Ne mere crushing and practi cal answer te the fine spun sophistries of Mitchell could be furnished. lTis letter is milk for babes. It is a puerile, maun dering document, full of platitudes, without a practical suggestion or a sin gle bold, manly utterance. It is con sistent with his character as a tender te Cameren. Such men are mere dangerous te the cause of reform than straight-out bold defenders of the Stalwart faith. Outsiders who cannot understand the present quarrel between our esteem ed Republican contemporaries need only te be reminded that the editor of the Examiner charged the editor of the Neva Era with having once written a book called the " Prayer of Leve ;" the New Era retorted that the Examiner hired a Democrat te furnish "red headed lies " for his paper ; the Examiner rejoined that in 18G1 the editor of the New Era had two Democrats writing the truth in his paper.and instead of hiring them they hired him ; the surrejeinder of the New Era is that the main issue in that cam paign was that the editor of the Exami ner had betrayed his constituents, vio lated his instructions and served a cor rupt combination for a corrupt consid eration ; whereupon the Examiner sug gests that " life is tee short te fight the battle of 1801 ever again." With an eminent desire te retain that reputation for general fairness and fre quent liberality which the Examiner.has se justly conferred upon, us we feel moved te say that this recalls the story of the viper, who, having previously gnawed a file, declined another invitation te make a meal en one, as it was indigestible diet and hard en store teeth. Senater Hear is likely te have the poisoned chalice of " executive preroga tive " commended te his own lips in the struggle in the Senate ever the confirma tion of the new collector whom Arthur has appointed for Bosten ever the Half Breed incumbent.and against the wishes of Hear and nearly all of his congres sional colleagues." When Mr. Garfield in like manner offended the New Yerk senators, Hear stoutly steed up for the president's prerogative tb name officers te suit himself and te ignore senatorial courtesy. It will be Interesting te see if Hear's views have changed since a man is appointed against his wishes and who will likely organize the custom house service against Hear's aspirations for senatorial re-election. ' ' i This large number of Republicans in' this county who read the Ixtkk.i.ieek- (xr te discover what is going en in their party will find in this journal te-day. an impartial review of the -present can vass and the aspect of its general feature as gathered from authentic sources." It is a sort of off year with our Republican friends, but, as they can furnish a geed deal of- amusement te the square inch, the intervening weeks before the prima ries will be lively with their squabbles. CimisTENDOM is about eaterfng upon thejeycEfer4tide.ThewWra-, tien which te-morrow morning jBshera in the festival of the Triumphant-Christ, who burst the bends of Death and the Grave, fulfilled the premise of His life and death, sealed the evidences of His lTivimfyttMprevetlxtsHeriiad proclaimed Himself the Resurrection and the Life. The Church rightly gives none of its fes tival precedence of this,for no-fact in the Gospel was of greateriigniffcance than tbat which solved all doubts, convinced the weak, set timid Apostles about their work and infused new,zeaLinte the al ready ardent promulgators of the faith of Galilee's fishermen and net-makers, the faith which has encircled the world without sign of weakness or retroces sion. With great fitness, this festival fallsiat the season of nature's resurrec- f tien J when the fetters of winter have been cast off, and all the land is clothing itself in vernal glory. This year, as does net always happen, nature wears an as pect; and garb in accordance with the feelings of the Christian world and the significance of its great anniversary. Mk-McMaxes has the Philadelphia delegation in hand against Cameren's man Rawle, and will fight him te death. He has brought out Edwin H. Fitler for governor te squeeze Cameren into dropping Rawle. He is willing te let Beaver be nominated for governor, but net Rawle, and, if necessary te beat Rawle, will invite a combination with the anti-Cameren elements en Fitler against Beaver. It remains te be seen whether Cameren regards McManes' hand as strong enough te submit te this bluff. Sexsexig : St chman : : Mentzer : ? Is llunsecker running for Congress both senatorial districts ? in Owing te the pressure of local and ad vertising matter upon ear space te-day, the usual form of make up is changed,and the general news will be found en our first page. ' Thkn ring, sweet bells, tbe Jey et euith In Euster nynins te Heaven, Ami tell the new Immortal Birth Of man, by Christ lerglven ; Fer our dear Lord is risen indeed, And lives en high te intercede. Alleluia ! Amen.'' Tiieiie is a significant absence of abuse of "Bess" Senscnig in Mr. Hicstand's paper, and a notable lack of appreciation of "Mr." Sensenig in Mr. Warfcl's paper uew-a-days. TnE readers of the Examiner are iui. patiently watching for a continuation of 'Squire Sam Evans' "red-het" corres pondence against Senater Kauffman. Why this sudden cooling off? Has he, ter, been persuaded that "life is tee shert'' te fight old battles ever. Philosophic Sam ! ' l'.i!G out, sweet Easter bells ring out : The world te life is waiting, And Heavenly hosts in triumph shout. The Jey or man partaking; Fer He, who died our souls te save, The Lord it risen irem the grave. Alleluia!" Has the Examiner engaged " Q in a Cerner " te write up the " Castle in the Alley" councils during the present cam paign ; or is it true that Picayune's peli tical prayer meetings have been taken elsewhere, that Brether Geist's " revised edition" has Sensenig's name expurgated and that in Abou Ben Stchmau's book -t "leads all the rest." O risen Christ ! Theu art the deer, The everlasting way. The blessed Eaater-gale et lite That opens te the day. All praise, our risen Lord, te Thee, Fer love that conquers death ; Fer faith that maketh quick: te hear One word that Jesus saith. We doubt whether if Thaddeus Stevens were again te appear in the flesh, and would pick up a copy of the Press, he could recognize it as a Republican paper. Franklin Repository. But theu while Stevens lived he did .net even recognize Lincoln as his kind of a Republican. The Press, by the way, does net altogether regard Arthur as a Re publican ; it is in doubt whether he will be " the chief of the nation, the bead of a party, or pap-holder te a faction." The editor of the Lancaster Inquirer, who for many years has kept an illustra ted book of his political friends and enemies, pasting their portraits in it with his own comments, finally dips into auto biography and writes the following in scription for his own 'picture : Se often did he lie and se persistently did he adhere te them that nothing he said was believed, and every body shunned him and looked upon him with contempt. There is a naivete about this only equalled by the candor with. which its author-Baa changed his mind about Levi Sensenig since he gave tbat statesman his nete for $2,000 te help him into Con gress. The Grant-Hayes order that federal officers should net participate in party.con party.cen party.con ventiens and political campaigns was such a farce and hypocritical pretense that we rather admire the superior frankness of the present administration, which, through First Assistant Postmaster General Hat Hat ten, plainly tells its appointees te pitch in, as it is " the right of every man te use his best efforts te promote by all proper means the success of all public and poli tical measures that will, in his judgment, be beneficial te his country." Any cress reads postmaster who can't take this hint is tee stupid te held office under Hatten and this Stalwart administration. It is net enr business te make nemina tiens for our neighbors, and we hare no personal interest in the congressional representation of our adjoining Democrat ic jdMtnct.made up of Yerk, Cumberland and Adams, but since the rotary system has been recognized ever there, it seams te us te be the fair thing te let Adams have the member for the remaining two years of the present apportionment. Yerk had the member for the first four years, Cel. jnaun, and Cumberland has had Mr. leltehoevwforfoar. The, Adams county the ehfrerthVlistbutis "claims" shemld fee . reeenimd new withnnt hs pu'tiandjfCumberland"U disinclined te de the fair thing Tork should ' settle it." By the passage of the Senate bill te. reg ulate the counting of the electoral vote, likely te be adopted by the Heuse also, it is probable that hereafter the manner in which any state has cast its electoral vote shall be Hetcrmlned by the tribunal of. last resort in the state itself, and CengrcstvwiD have only te receive the return. It is reasonable that this final tribunal shenld be the supreme judicial rather than execu tive power, and every state should deter mine it before the next presidential elec tion, for the bill further requires that where there shall be mere than one set of electoral votes from any state, and there shall be no determination of the title of the electors in tbe'mauner described, only a concurrent vote of the two houses act ing separately can secure tbe counting of either set of votes. When Mr. Garfield appointed Wayne HacVeagh attorney general, he played it fine en the Camerons. They could net reasonably find fault with one of the family and yet no appointment from this state could have better pleased Mr. Garfield's Independent Republican . friends. With the latter Arthur get square when he called Brewster into the cabinet. The In dependents could net object te him, though no one could have been mere acceptable te the elder Cameren. In picking out Chand ler for his cabinet the president seems te have made a bolder stroke of the same order of genius. He recognizes Blaine's friends, and yet has probably taken the last man they would have picked out for recognition. In fact, they seem te regard Chandler very much as Brether Sensenig regards an Associate Reformer who slyly marks the aces in the deck before he sits down te the game. Despite all tbat has been claimed for tctetalism in Maine, a writer in the Sun, who gives facts and figures te sustain his conclusions ; shows in au elaborate article that under the prohibition system inMuine the people of Maine, deprived of the lighter drinks that temper the habit else where, have fallen back en illicit whisky ; that the trade in int jxicauts is thrown mainly without restraint or supervision into the lowest and most irresponsible hands; that the percentage of drunkenness is greater there than in the liccuse states ; that the amount of pauperism is heavier and rapidly increasing ; that crimes, espe cially of the higher kiuds, are advancing at a frightful rate ; that the death rate is heavier there thau in license states, that there arc mere suicides, insanity, idiocy, blindness and bodily defects, arising from vitiated stock, in the former than in the lat ter states, and that the disregard of the law among the people is engendering contempt for all law aud advancing general domer alizatieu. PEBSONAL. Scugyleh Colfax refuses gratefully, but positively, te be again a candidate for Congress. Mr. De Stkuye, the new Russian min ister, has arrived in Washington, and will be presented te the president next Tues day. Rev. Jeseph Ci.acs, rector of St. Michael's -German Catholic church in Baltimore, died yesterday morning, aged 53 years. Histeriau Bancroft never ate finer din ners at any European court than Presi dent Arthur provides far his friends. This Is truly reassuring. General "Jack" Wharten, United States marshal for Louisiana, died sud denly of apoplexy in Pinchback's office, in New Orleans last evening. Chandler will be apt te pull through. Ne person nominated by any president for a cabinet position in the history of the ceuutry has ever been rejected by the Sen ate. Cornelius J. Vanderbilt, the recent suicide, left the bulk of his estate te his friend and constant companion in his pro fligacy for the last ten years, Geerge N. Terry. Sener GARriMARTix, recently appointed apanisn -consul for .Panama, has arrived in that city. He is the first representa tive of Spain in Pauama siuce the Spanish colonies became independent. Deesey hasn't sold his cattle range. He has only taken Indian Beef Contractor Jim Besler, of Carlisle, Pa., into partner ship in the cattle business. There are years of geed stealing ahead of Dersey. The honorary degree of Doctors of Laws (LL. D.) was ordered, at the last meeting of the beard of trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, te be cenfered upon Hene. Eli K. Price, William nenry Rawle and Geerge W. Biddle. General Siieumax has telegraphed te a friend in Washington tbat he " rejoices ever the passage of the bill for compul sory retirement of army officers at the age of 62, and en no account does he desire any exception made in his interest." William Westenbacher. appointed by Themas Jeffersen secretary of the faculty and librarian of the University of Virginia in 1824, and who filled the office ever since, died at his residence in Char Char Char lottesville en Thursday night, in the 85th year of his age. The New Yerk Times caustically says : "Should the railroad affiliations of Senater Teller meld his administration of the interior department adversely te the public interests, or tbe reputation as a jobber enjoyed by Mr. CnANOLER be vin dicated in the navy department, nobody is likely te suffer mero from it than President Arthur." Mr. Albert D. Elliet, a graduate of Franklin and Marshall college, and at present a senior in Harvard nnivnrsit.v who has for the past few days been visit ing friends in this city, started this morn ing for Bosten, te resume his cellegiate studies en Wednesday. Mr. Elliet has successfully passed his midwinter test and expects te ceme up for final examination aud graduation in June. Mr. Elliet's friends hereabout will be pleased te knew that he stands wall up in his class of 187. His future career contemplates a two year ceurse at Columbia law school. They talk tee fast who claim that Ar thur vetoed the anti-Chinese bill en the bread ground that tbe genius of our in stitutions forbids the exclusion of immi gration. "Deeply convinced," he says, "of the necessity of some legislation en this subject, and concurring freely with Con gress in many of the objects which are sought te be accomplished," he gees en te specify the imperfections of the bill as a means of accomplishing these "objects." New the "subject" of the bill was Chinese immigratien.and it had only one "object," te prevent that immigration as far as was possible under our treaty with China. Mr. Frelinghiiysek, has a queer way of saying things. He informed the pre sident en Tuesday last "that en the 2d inst. information was received by the department of state that all the American citizens held as prisoners in Ireland had been released except three and that since that date the farther information has Teaehed him that O'Connor, Hart, Walsh, D' Alten and White are net new in prison. Tbe negotiations are still being conducted with a view te the release of the remain ing prisoners." The Sun wants te knew if all but three were released, hew five came te be subsequently accounted for. and since these are "net new in prison" if wbe are " the remaining prisoners. KEPUBIICAN PMMJLEiES. fe " W & m THE GOD TBCTH' AMOVT THMI J" SV8tTWS What tbe PeUtlcIans are ueIns-Settlng up ana Knocking IMwb-Slat Mad Te Be Smashed. The Republican primary elections hare been fixed for about a month earlier than' usual this year en account of the date of' the state convention and se that the dele gates te it and the county ticket can be named at the same time. Prier te the first of April and its attendant business activity, net much interest in local politics had been developed, and as it is an off year, for a short ticket, a dull campaign was apprehended. The most important things te be considered at the primaries in the latter part of this month are the new rules, aud as usual they will receive the least consideration. Like the project for the $07,000 lean at the late city elections, the people generally de net understand them, and the politicians fear te take active sides lest it interfere with some of the issues of mere importance te them. The city newspapers being committed te them by the participation of their editors in the formation of them, there is little discussion of their, merits and less manifest opposition. Among the " best workers " there seems te be a dif ference of opinion as te whether "Hiestand and Griest drew Geist en toward a step which must ultimately lead back te the dele gate system," or whether "Geist smart ly entrapped the ethers into the support of a device which refastens the Crawford county system upon the party." Percy Sheck's Marietta Register seems te be about the only outspoken opponent of their adoption,and it recognizes and points out the incehereneies, the crudeness and the absurdities of the new plan, by the oporatien of which minority candidates may be nominated, all sorts of jugglery and tricks may be perpetrated, and endless confusion ensue ; also, the absurdity of trying te make them retroactive by order ing that they apply te au election at which their own adoption is te be voted upon ; aud of swearing election officers te conduct the primary according te the existing rules, under penalty of the law, and at the same time asking them te count votes for dele gates te a county convention, when under existing rules all votes for such caudi dates unknown te the existing rules must be void. It is said the people gen erally are beginning te discover these de fects, and that there will be a heavy if net a prevailing vote against them. In any event, the preposition te make them cover this election, if adopted, will be cembatted, and the return judges may be assembled en Monday 'as the present rules only changeable by popular vote direct. Fer Congress. The original pregramme was that Smith was te have a walk ever, and that he was te quietly submit te Collector Tem Wiley's decapitation. This seems te have miscar ried somehow. Wiley "holds the fort,"' and though Hiestand insists that it is "the Ged's truth " that he is for Smith, it is equally true, as the New Era re cently stated, that some of Smith's oppo nents " have tried te make two or three gentlemen believe that it is their duty te consent te run for Congress against Mr. Smith, and it is ropertod te-day that they have found one willing te enter the temple of the bosses and offer himself as an atonement for their political sins." Whether by this was forecast C. L. Hun Hun secker's announcement, which has come te pass, we de net knew, but of course his candidacy would uet be a flea bite. Under the new rules, he might serve the purpose of carrying a few townships te held them iu for a third candidate, but such a one has net yet been developed. Before the death of Mr. Garfield changed the plans of tbe politicians, it was widely reported tbat our esteemed fellow citizen and the well-known educator, ex State Supt. J. P. Wickerekani, L. L. D., was slated for a pleasant consulate in Switzerland, where, under the eaves of an Alpine cottage, he might write his projected history of education iu Pennsyl vania. New, however, a man has been sent te that pest who calls the seat of his undivided affections his "hole hart," and Dr. Wickershara is left. It is said the congressional bee has again begun te buzz in his benuet, and that if Majer Griest has any power of persuasion Smith will net have a clear track and that Wicker sham will be his competitor. The Fight irer State Senater. The hottest and most interesting fight and that upon which the Examiner stakes its factions all, is the Stehman-Kauffman contest -for senator. Besides the ordinary Bull Ringers, Stchman is reported te have Sensenig with him this time, and as the ether faction never had quite as strong a held in the upper as in the lower end, the reinforced Bull Ringers affect te be con fident of Kauffman's defeat. Fer the next few weeks a het fight will be waged , aud it is tee early yet te predict tbe issue. Seme new candidates are talked of. but they are net likely. Fer Assumbly. Courtney, Eshleman -and Snader, the former delegation from the Upper End, will be generally supported by Stehman's friends. They have "been there" and were net found wanting. Snader will be especially antagonized in his section by P. M. Eberly, whom he beat for reelection iu 1880 by the lightning calculation in Columbia. Courtney and Eshleman have their hats chalked for a through pas sage. In the city Hugh R. Fulton, esq., is the only candidate thus far talked of. Hugh'l de. In the Lewer End Landis and Brosius will be en the New Era slate, and Heidel- baugh and Peeples en the eher. A deter mined effort will be made te beatLandis, and it may be a tight fit, but of these four, Heidelbaugh is most likely te be lelt. Keccrder. When Levi Sensenig gees te Stehman his Reform friends will of course give Ben Longenecker " the shake" far recorder, and as Steve Grissinger has net appeared in his winding sheet as a candidate for this office, there are signs that,rStehman's friends are te make it solid for Benjamin in the land of the North. This will make him the favorite, with a half dozen scattering candidates in the field. Maj. Fasnacht is the best qualified and most deserving, but with D. M. Moere and H. C. Lehman, of ed our local politics, nothing 'mere absurd has been seen than the candidacy of a blind man for recorder of deeds. In the form of correspondence with Harry Myers " tobacconist and ' blind man," of this dty,"audan-answer-frem-hiiB te his-cer respondents, his candidacy is introduced te the public. He may be a' very worthy and deserving man ; we believe he is ; but Messrs. Jacob Bausman, H. C. Demuth, Jehn1 1. Hartman, Themas ttaumgardner, and ether intelligent, respectable and re sponsible gentlemen could hardly have censidered: what they were .doing when they gravely requested him te run for au office for the duties of which he is as wholly incapacitated as a man without arms or legs would be unfit for polies duty erasamute would be unable te act as court crier. Among the duties of tbe recorder; ie. be (performed by hit, himself, is te certify te the correctness of records and searches. We are perfectly well aware that men have been run for office in this county, by speculative politi cians, with little mere qualifications than Mr. Myers, and who had less control ever and direct cxercise of their positions than he would have, but in no case was their physical incapacity 'se manifest and avowed. There are positions te which the influence of the signers of this letter might aid him and of which he might reasonably draw tbe emoluments if het perform the duties, but surely the office of recorder of deeds is net ene of them. County Solicitor. Sensenig's defection te Stehman also divorces the NeicEra faction from its con templated support of Jno. H. Frey for county solicitor, and as he is a geed deal et a baggage wagon in a general engage ment, likely as net he will be lest between the lines. W. F. Beyer, esq., will of ceurse be the New Era candidate, aud it Al Shenck buckles down te work it will be a race between him and Beyerr who has mero length aud slenderer limbs, but Shenck knows the course better. ' Harry Carpenter's light artillery may be spiked early iu the battle or it will net be heard in the rear of heavier guns. Seme ether time may be Henny's time. Net this time. Jury commissioner. Fer prison and poer-houso managers thcre is little activity as yet. Honest men are a little -wary of dipping into what has get the reputation of being a dirty peel, aud the ether kind are scare'd at the idea of associating with Burkheldcr's blood hound. Fer jury commissioner the contest has hardly yet set in with that fervor which characterizes every engagement te which Sir Francis Kilhurn, "Theu mere than lawyer, and Just leas than Judge is a party. Mr. Kilhurn is a native of England and his opponent James Weed is president of a bank in Oxford. There is some talk of bringing out a native born citizen as a " dark horse." but the general sentiment is in favor of letting these bloody foreigners fight it out. There is great sympathy expressed for Kilburn because both the rings combined" for once" against him three years age and " counted in" Jehn I. Hartman. Fer the enligbtmcnt of the community Mr. Kilburn has begun the publication of a 25 centmenthly called the Family Herald, the first number of which is a clean looking deuble sheet. Its historical feature is a serial en the " Dec laration of Independence," but its ablest editorial articles are directed te the contest for jury commissioner. The Herald ap pears te be for Kilburn and declares that he presents the best claims for the office. " He waS a Republican of 1862", when the country required such men. He served in both army and navy during the war.' Was at the battle of Drainsville ; the taking of Island Ne. 10, Fert Randelph, Memphis and the storming of Yicksburg, as captain of mortar beat Ne. 9, and was rewarded for geed conduet, at the instance of Capfc. Henry E. Manaydier, commanding the Flotilla, by being raised te an ensigncy. Where was Big Jim all this time ? Sleep ing securely in his bed, en the borders of Chester county. New Jimmy would like te serve as jury commissioner (for three years if net sooner discharged). Jim thinks it will pay better than soldiering. But Kilbnrn's claims are equal te these of General Beaver, and that rubs big Jim off the slate." If that don't settle it let the public refer te. Jake Hcline as te Kilbnrn's " character and qualifications," and te Capt. Manaydier for the military achievements which raised him from "captain of a mortar beat " (net hed-carrier), te an " en- signcy," while "big Jim" was "sleep ing securely in his bed." The Examiner is of course for Kilburn, and with Lyte and Debet managing his campaign aud fingering the returns he is sure of a fair election and a square count. The State Delegates. Fer delegates te tbe state conventieu everything is of course dependent en the canvass for governor. The Examiner fac tion is for Beaver, the Nete Era's crowd for Butler and all for Livingston of course. They are for him like the fellow was "fur the Maine law, but agin its en forcement." He has no chance, and they knew it. By the use of his name the Ex aminer party prevented instructions azainst Beaver. That they offered the Butler men te compromise by giving them' four delegates is a sicn that they will be' very well satisfied if they get away with that many. Their best chance is iu the upper end; they may capture the city delegate and through the city the lower senatorial delegate. The Butler people will eet the lower dis trict. The men for the delegation have net yet been selected, but the Beaver men will pick out chaps who are "solid for Mulhoely" but have net been very strong ly identified with his cause heretofore. On the whole, like as net the Lancaster county delegation will be a stand off in the' next state convention, and will ee almost as powerless for Livingston as his appar ently inper-serviceabjtefriend anticipated.
