TUESDAY EVENING; KA726,
is
Blowing his Own mra.
&
Seme people, who ape -prprisetpat
Senater Mitchell's sudden vigor, declare'
that Blaine is behind it and that this Me Me
phistepheles in politics is setting up the
whole Independent movement in Penn
sylvania against the Stalwarts. Ne doubt
it has his sympathy; but there isne
need te suppose that he is the father' of
it. It has plenty of substantial cause for
coming into being ; the wonder would
rather be if the revolt against the selfish
Cameren ian rule did net break out. What
have the rebels te lese by their action ?
Loek at Senater Mitchell, sitting in the
Senate as a represenative of his state,
who ought te be equal i in influence te
his associate, bAtifiading'tnaE-the'-nvhele
political power of the senatorial position
is grasped by Cameren. What has he te
lese by revolt? As long is there was a
chance of his losing anything he was
quiet; but when it became perfectly
clear that he was entirely ignored by
the Republican adodnistratjen, .self
respect and policy both required that he
should show that ljc thing could .net .be
done with impunity. A senator of any
strength at all would net submit te being
slighted. He would necessarily require
that he should be treated by the presi
dent with the like consideration that
was bestowed upon his colleague. And
if lie net only failed te receive this,
but found his voice entirely 'im
potent with the administration, he
would take the opportunity, if it was
afforded him, of .showing that he could
net be kicked around like an old shoe.
In this case Senater Mitchell happened
te have behind him a constituency, re
spectable in quantity and quality, who
were treated as he was. He was a
representative man ; and he only shows
himself te be a man by stepping out te
the head of his ill-tieated constituency
and telling them te put up their arms in
self defense.
Senater Mitchell has acted with much
forbearance se far, but there is no need
te suppose that any influence but that
of his own sense of what was due te his
position has prompted him te the decided
and emphatic action he has taken.
There will be music in the air, and
Elaine will lie foremost in the band ;
but we believe that Mitchell himself is
fully able te blew the big horn he has
taken up.
In a Bad Way.
The breach in the Republican party of
this hUitc shows no signs of healing, and
as the contest here attracts attention
and sympathy from outside the chances
of a such reconciliation are lessened.
The' friends of the administration seem
te regard the Mitchell belt as inspired
by lilaine. Unquestionably the revolt
against Oliver's election was stiffened
by encouragement from Blaine, if net by
assurances en the part of Garfield, and
if Blaine or any ether factor in national
politics interferes, openly or secretly, in
the Independent movement here, it
takes en a larger than local interest and
forebodes that disintegration of the
party at large, which has been looked
for se many years. The 'assurances
of support, which Mr.- Mitchell
is reported 'te be receiving from
every part of the state, indi
cate a large following for him,
and these who have linked their
fortunes in the Independent leadership.
If te this circumstance shall be added
the threatened declination of Tem Mar
shall, the Cameren cause will be in a bad
way, sure enough. Without Marshall
the ticket will be exceedingly Aveak in
the West, and the offensive methods of
its nomination have aroused an opposi
tion te' it in the ether portions of the
slate, which no personal popularity of its
nominees can possibly overcome. Xer
can either party te the present factional
issue recede from its position without
defeat and disgrace.' The day for com
promise came and waited en the day for
concession. The convention was hardly
adjourned until the Independents saw
that the pretext of having had mere than
half the ticket conceded te them was a
sham, and that the professions of the
platform were "hollow, hollow, hollow."
Only the stupid were deceived, and the
cause is just as strong without them. The
fight against Cauiereuism aud Stalwart
ism may as well be fought out in Penn
sylvania, for nowhere are their men and
methods mere obnoxious.
The Apparent Strike.
The iron workers of Cleveland, num
bering live thousand, have ceased te
work, and twenty-five hundred coal
miners in that region declare that they
will de the same if their .demand for an
increase of wages is net complied with.
There is an apprehension that the meet
ing of the Iren Workers' association at
Pittsburgh en Saturday will result in a
strike there. The Philadelphia rolling
mills, having reduced their card rate for
iron te two and six-tenths cents per
IMJiind, it is feared that the employees
there will refuse te consent te the reduc
tion in their wages, which they have
heretofore agreed that a reduction in
the price of iron should bring about.
These strikes and rumors of strikes at
this time are unnatural, because there is
no apparent reason for them. The work
men are being well paid and the manu
facturers are working at very close prices.
The profits of manufacture being small
and the demand light it is certainly far
mere against the interest of the work
man than of the employer that manu
facture should step. A demand for
lusher wages, when business is slack, is
net justified by geed sense. We de net
consider it, therefore, likely' tliata strike
will be promoted by the workingmen's
unions. The manufacturers are in feo
geed a position te meet it te make its suc
cess probable. Their interests would suf
fer tee little by a stoppage of their works
te make them very willing te pay very
high for the privilege, of manufacturing.
The workmen are net ijbels and they
knew well enough,that this is net their
opportunity

Tub friends of Arthur in New Yerk are
beginning te express, in characteiistically
plain terms, their views of the se called
"boiling movement" at Harrisburg.
They say they are certain that the hand of
Mr. Blaiue is back of it, and that its real
purpose is te make a second term for Mr.
Arthur is out of the question. The Com
mercial Advertiser, a recognized Stalwart
organ, says : "All thesigns indicate this ;"
then adds, "Barker, who slops ever en all
occasions, let the cat out of the bag when
be announced that ' the work of the late
convention calls upon the Independents te
make war en Cameren and Arthur.' "
Equalled by low and excelled by none
is the following definition furnished by
the New Yerk Herald in reply te the
query of Harper's Weekly, " What deeB
half-breed mean ?" : " Well," says the
Herald, " a half-breed is a politician just
as eager for the spoils as the ether, but
equally eager te make men believe that
he is net in the least anxious ou that
point. He has all the vices of the out eut
aud out spoils hunter, with the vice of
hypocrisy in addition. He is a man who
can snivel through the uese about civil
service for four, years or e ight or twelve
when he is net in power, and then cast
civil service te all the winds of heaven in
the first half hour in which he obtains a
position that might enable him te put his
theories in practice if he wcre honest-. In
fact, a half-breed in politics is just like a
half-breed between two races he has the
vices of both parents or parties and the
virtues of neither. " '
Tun tone of the Republican press in
Ohie and Iowa is extremely despondeut,
and the newspapers declarb that the
recent sumptuary legislation in theso
states, which was conceived and excuted
in the hope of catching the "religious"
vote, has net only failed of that purpose
by reason of the quick intelligence of the
people seeing through the transparent
veil with which it was hoped te conceal
an unworthy make shift, but has actually
alienated the large German vote, together
with a considerable proportion of ether de
cent aud shrewd people Heretofore the
Germans of the West, except ou merely
local issues, have voted almost solidly
with the Republican party ; new their own
newspapers declare that their -strength
will" be transferred .te the Democratic
ticket iu the approrehing elections. ' Te
Jicar the Republican' organs preach of the
moral courage exhibited by their party in
enacting these laws that have recoiled se
disastrously upon their framerp is amus
ing and -does net. call for serious considera
tion. Persons with ordinary perception
could net fail te see In the blundering do de
vices of the Western law-makers another
frantic gasp by the party of expediency te
maintain its fast waning powder, who in
this instance seem te be heist by their own
petard.

he indicates the measures that will have

Senater Cameren will net ask for the
withdrawal of the nominations of Jacksen
and KaulTman, and both men will be con
firmed this week. Senater Mitchell asked
Mr. Cameren if he intended te push Jack Jack
eon aud KaulTman through the Senate,
the senior senator replied in the affirma
tive. Mr. Mitchell called Mr. Cameren's
attention te the editorial in the Press en
the subject of the objectionable nomina
tions, that contained the views of Mr.
Marshall, candidate for congressman-at-large,
en the removal of Mr. Sullivan.
The senator read the editorial and said,
se far as ex-Collector Wiley, or the Ninth
district is concerned, there was cause for
his removal. Jacksen he regarded as a
mau et irreproachable character, and he
should insist upon his confirmation. A
member of the delegation, who has con
versed with the senior senator en the sub
ject of the contested nominations, says
that he does net believe there is any gen
eral demand for the retention of cither
Sullivan or Wiley. Their successors were
both nominated prier te the convention,
and the new appointees met with the ap ap ap
probatieu of all representatives excepting
theso Independents who would net be
satisfied with any appointment that Mr.
Cameren was supposed te have influenced.
He does net think the withdrawal of Jack Jack
eon and Kauffman would tend te smooth
ever any dificrence in the party, because
the Independents who are fighting him
personally would never credit him with
any disposition te yield a point. On the
contrary, they would regard it as a victory
accomplished by their threats, and would
take the occasion te renew war en every
Pennsylvania appointment that the presi
dent might see fit te make from within the
ran ks of the regular organization.
This gentleman says Mr. Cameren feels
that the representatives of the state have
nominated a ticket that every Republican
can support. Every demand made by the
Independents, as the result of the peace
conference, has been granted, lhrce et
the candidates en the ticket are Independ
ents, and if in the face of the fair spirit
shown at Harrisburg, gentlemen who have
hcretofero acted with the Republican
party feel they can best promote its inter
ests by opposing it, the senator is power
less te de anything mere. This gentleman
said Mr. Camcreu felt disappointed that
he had received no credit for bis effort te
bring about geed feeling between the fac
tious, but he presumed every disposition
manifested by the regular organization te
correct the abuses complained of by the
Independents would be considered a con
cession wrung by force from the Regulars,
and net an honest endeavor te keep all
elements in accord for the benefit of the
party in the state aud te the credit of the
Republican party of the nation.

Cheering Messages Frpm Over The State
Washington Disnatch te The Times,
If anybody could have any doubts as te
the genuineness of the Independent boom
iu Pennsylvania huch doubts might be set
at rest by a glunce at the mass of letters
daily received by Senater Mitchell. These
letters come from every part of the state
and from representative men of every
county. They come by hundreds. Since
the convention every mail is burdened
with the evidence that the junior senator
has struck the popular chord. Every
letter breathes the spirit of self-congratulation
that in this movement of political
reform a senator from Pennsylvania has
risen te the demands of popular leadership.
They are congratulatory, suggestive, con
donmatery of bnssism and full of patiietic
fire. -By request the Times correspondent
was Bhewn some of these letters taken at
random from the hundreds recently re
ceived and permitted te get brief extracts.
In no ether way could the diverse ideas
of representative people of Pennsylvania
be better presented, perhaps, than in the
following excepts. Here is what an Inde
pendent member of last year's Legislature
telegraphs : "Your first order is glorious.
New te the- psople. Bossism is deemed."
Frem a letter received te day from a
prominent Philadelphia Republican and
member of the Union Leage : "I was se
delighted te read your dispatch te Mr.
Merrick, published this morning, that I
hope you will excuse this expression of
my feelings, It has the true ring, and if
your advice is followed it will make
Independents regulars." Here is one
from a prominent member of the
committce of one hundred.: " We are
rejoiced ever your dispatch, published
this morning. It has the clear ring.
JfuDIic opinion is coming around allrigut.'
This is from a letter by an editor of a
Republican paper in southern Pennsylva
nia. He says: "I cannot resist the
temptation te write you my hearty ap
proval of your course iu taking the ma
chine bull by the horns. The best inter
ests of the future of our grand old party
demand its liberation from the continued
control of the machine power, and
I am delighted te sec you step
te the front as one of the leaders
of the true Republicans of the Key
stone." A representative man, who was
a delegate te the convention of 1880 and
who had a brother in the late Harrisburg
convention, writes, "Your pretest against
the Cameren dynasty is joyfully received
here iu this boss ridden county. The
elimination of the only important clause
from tlie conference resolutions, the one
relating te representation, leaves Cameren
in possession of all the minority counties,
and with the assistance of his few lieuten
ants in Republican circles, he is able te
control the conventions. 1 was. in the con
vention en Tuesday." Speaking of a dele
gate in the convention the wiitcr says :
" I knew his sentiments, which are auti auti
Camereu, but he dare net assert
his preferences, he being the post
master of ; dare net, or off
would go his head. He is a young
man just beginning in life, and his cir
cumstances are such that he may net defy
the bosses as I did in 1880. Dear Sena Sena
eor, if our beloved Garfield had lived
Cameren would net have nominated Gen.
Beaver. Had he been alive this delegate
and scores mere like him would have gene
te Harrisburg free men. Hew unfortun
ate for our party was Garfield's death.
One man only of the delegates from this
county had the manhood te threw off
Cameren's yoke and vote as a freeman in
the convention. Immediately he was threat
ened and badgered by theso people and told
that his political life would be taken.
They even in the bacchanalian revelry
made bold te assault him in his room athis
hotel. Such base means as these are em
ployed te terrorize and bull-doze Repub
licans. I can't hear this any longer and
hundreds of my personal friends say they
cannot. Wc will net fellow in the foot
steps of this cerrnpt and unpatriotic herde
any longer. Ge en and nominate a straight
clean Republican ticket and you will bury
Cameren aud his Philistines forever."
WILL fllAUSUALL DECLINE?
i
The I'lttKUurcn " Dispatch" Says he Will
Net Itun en Either Ticket.
The Pittsburgh Despatch says : "It may
ue larau mi- graniea mat Marshall, the
Republican nominee ler cengrcssmau-at-large
has decided te decline the nomination.
Twe premineut merchants, old clients of
Mr. Marshall, called ou him yesterday
(Monday) for the purpose of urging him
net te accept the nomination. After they
had talked te him for some time," he said,
"That matter is passed advice. I will
net take it. I will net leave my motherless
children for an office that comes in this
way." .Te a prominent Independent who
called ea hum later in the day with a re
quest ttat he permit his name te be used
in the convention of May 24, Mr. Marshall
said : ii De net nominate me. I will net
be' a candidate upon any ticket."
inis will make room for Hugh Fleming,
of Allegheny, one of the reform within
the party men. It is stated en unques
tionable authority that it was arranged at
.Harrisburg immediately after Marshall's
nomination te turn it ever te Fleming in
case he should decline. The object of this
is te have a member of the state ticket in
Tem Bayne's district. This would require
Mr. Bayne te come out boldly one way or
the ether, and might aid in carrying
out the plans te prevent his renomina renemina renomina

Arguing Ills Case Before the Supreme Court.
In the supreme court yesterday argu
ment was heard en the assignments of
error taken in the case of Jehn Ceyle, jr.,
who was tried and convicted of murder iu
Yerk county and sentenced te be hanged.
The facts of the case are fresh in the
minds of our leaders. It will be remem
bered that Ceyle was a young man,
twenty six years of age, living with his
father and mother en the bank's of the
Susquehanna liver, opposite Marietta
in Lancaster county. " He was the
only child. There had lived with
the Ceyle family for seme time in the ca
pacity of tiircd girl a young woman named
Emily Myers, te whom Ceyle became
greatly attached. Ills attentions wcie
avoided by the girl, who did net seem te
uaru uuuugu iui uiiu luuiairy uuu. xuiuy
in tbe morning of the 10th of May last
Emily pet up and went out te milk the
cows. Mrs. Ceyle, who slept in the same
room with the girl, remained in bed,
and shortly after Emily had left -the
house heard tbrce sounds " similar te
these of pistol shots. She get up
and called for the girl, but no answer
came, and when she went cut toward the
barn she met her son, who told her that
she need net call for Emily, as he had
shot her dead. He said he was also going
te die from self-inflicted wounds. He
claimed that the girl had premised te
marry him, and that he went te the barn
te see if she was going te be as geed as her
word. She said "Ne, I won't have you nor
any ether man." Ceyle then- told his
mother that he told Emily he would sheet
her. for no ether man should have her.
He said she dared him te de se, and
throwing herself back, said, " Sheet me
right here ! Sheet me quick !" Ceyle
drew his revolver and shut the young
woman, He also fired two shots into his
own body. The young woman never
speke alter she was struck, 'but. died
instantly. Ceylo recovered, and was
tried for the murder, which resulted
in his conviction. At the trial the
defense set up that the young man was
insane ; that he had a mania for loving
every girl he came across, aud that he had
frequently been under fits of insanity. It
was claimed that he had previously at
tempted te sbcet himself, aud en another
occasion had taken arsenic which had been
purchased tekill rats. It was claimed that
lie had locked himself up iu his room from
Satmday morning until Monday morning,
when the sheeting occurred, and had re
fused te bee any one or te come down
te his meals. On December 19, 1681, after
Coyle'8 conviction of murder in the
first degree, Judge Wickcs sentenced him
te be hanged. An appeal was taken te
the supreme court, error of the lower court
being alleged in the charge of the judge
upon the insanity question and upon ether
points that wcre raised. Messrs. II. L.
Fisher aud W. C. Chapman represented
Ceyle, District-Attorney Zeigler aud
Qcorge W. McEIrey the commonwealth.
The supreme court held the matter under
advisement.
