MONDAY SVENINQ, JUNE 10, 1882.
A Prospective Contest.
Just at the tin whan the discerdaul
elements pfjtli'e Philadelphia Democrats!
are trying te se far harmonize tneir
differences as te send a united and uu
contested delegation te the Hnrrisburg
convention, a complication ensues in
Cumberland county which, if referred
te the Democratic state convention,
cannot fail te become the subject of
some discussion nd perhaps of embar
rassment te the local Democracy of that
district at least. It seems that Mr.
Henry K. Peffer, the veteran editor of
the Valley Sentinel, who had been 3eme
time age chosen a delegate te the state
convention by thie old county committee,
was also a candidate, at the late prima
ries for state senator and was defeated.
Since that be has suited in his tent and
has refused te indicate his purpose te sup
port the local ticket in the way usual in
that section by printing the ticket at
the head of his paper. Fer which reason
he was requested en Saturday te inform
the new county committee whether or
net be proposed te support the local
ticket, and upon his answer that the
cemmitte had no right te thus interro
gate him, the qrgauizatien proceeded te
i'muinii' hiRannnintment as a state del
egate and named in his stead that ether
veteran editor and respected Democrat,
Jehn B. Bratten, who had also been a
candidate for state senator and was de
feated. If, upon these facts, Messrs. Fetter
and Bratten shall both present them
selves at the state convention, each with
the credentials of a local committee, it
will be a serious question for the con
vention te determine which lias even
the prima facie right te the seat, though
it must be manifest that Mr. Peffer's
appointment is net subject te revocation
by another power than that from
which he takes his commission. If Mr.
Peffer has withdrawn from the Deme
cratic party since his original appoint
ment, his fitness te sit in a Democratic
state convention may. with propriety be
challenged, as the convention is the sole
judge of the qualifications of its mem
bers. But we gravely question whether,
te reach the end they have in view, the
Cumberland county Democrats have
taken the proper course ; and if they want
te exclude Mr. Peffer from association
and fellowship with a party from which
they allege that he has withdrawn, they
had better proceed in a way that will net
damage their case. Most of all it is im
portant that Uie issue which this contest
raises shall be decided solely upon the
merits of the important question in
volved and net upon the personal tela-,
tiens of the prominent Democrats who!
will be parties te it- I
The Behind Convention.
Cel; McClure is high -authority upon
questions of party practice ' tecause
of his long experience and observation
of party machinery, and his opinion that
the Republican state convention, which
lately adjourned bine Hie, is the proper
authority te fill the vacancy en the ticket,
and that it should have been recalled by
its chairman and the slate committee
chairman, is entitled te great weight ;
but nevertheless wc de net consider it
demonstrated by his argument. He
shows that the Republican practice, se
far as it lias heretwfore'bpeirestablished,
has been for the state committee' te fill
vacancies in the ticket, while the Demo
cratic practice has been te recall the con
ventien;? If practice settles the disputed
point it would fellow tliat the Repub
lican state committee should have
filled the present vacancy. If, how
ever, the matter is open for a
decision, based net upon precedent,
but upon reason, then clearly the new
nominee must be obtained from the del
egates of the people. If the delegates te
the late convention had net adjourned
without day, they could undoubtedly be
reassembled te complete their work at
the call of the chairman. But it would
seem that their adjournment without
making prevision for again meeting, ab
solutely ended their existence and power.
At any; rate it seems evident that the
chairman of the state committee would
net have power te reassemble them, nor
could he bolster in any way the authority
of the convention chairman for that pur
pose. Mr. McClure's declaration that
Mr. Cooper and Mr. Lear should have
united iu a call is a bare decla
ration unsupported by authority
or reason, se 5 far' ,as we can see.
The chairman of the state commit
tee would have authority te call a new
convention, if the old one has ceased te
exist ; but wliat concern with or author auther author
ityevfr tyte old convention he had it is
difficult indeed te discover.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Ilar
risburg Patriot, has very properly chal
lenged the Philadelphia 1'uncs te speak
out and tell the Democracy of the state
upon what it bases its inuendees about
persons likely te ue nominated or
candidates for nomination at the Demo
cratic state convention. H the limes is
the fearless and honest journal that itprq itprq
fesses te be it will net disregard
this challenge. If there is anything
in the records of any man for
whom a Democratic nomination is
sought let it be told new. We share
with the Times a disinclination for
" self-seeking " candidates for whose
nomination themselves are chiefly " ur
gent," but it is te be remembered that
nowadays the inclination for public
office is net generally regarded as in
itself a test of ineligibility, and the
Times has frequently urged upon the
Democracy of Pennsylvania the nomi
nation of men who sought place mere
persistently and assiduously than any
candidate new before the Democracy of
.this state. , rNer is it condemnation of a
jditetfc $efisa " regulation ''
Democrat. Th'at is the kind we want.
Any, man who falls, below that high
standard is measurably below the de
mand of the present occasion. If the
Times knows of any ether cause why
this or that man 3heuld netba nomi
nated, why don't it say who be is and
what is the objection ?

Philadelphia Press hopes that' he has
given him some geed counsel. Mr.
Wanamaker's successful operation of a
mercantile bazaar gives some ground for
a suspicion that he might make a hit as
the manager of a political menagerie ;
even te the extent of leading into paths
of wisdom Senater Cameren, who is set
down generally as a very obstinate mule
and whom present events are going far te
exhibit as a very ordinary feel. There is
hardly a chance fen a doubt that Sena Sena
eor Cameren's wisest' course is te come
down te his opponents' preposition for a
new convention. He has te fight them
and conquer them or die sooner or later.
Ie had better de it at once aud de it at
the' Republican- primaries. With the
administration behind him he lias agoed
chance te beat the enemies in his party
at a primary election this summer. His
chance will net be se geed next year
after the defeat of his ticket, which is
sure te happen if the Democrats get a
chance at it in its present condition.
New he can say te the Independents
that he will meet them in the field they
demand and go before the Republican
voters en the question of his endorse

would be net only a needless expense, hut
that it would certainly result in the re-
nomination of the old ticket and would
preve a farcical proceeding. "Besides, 'the

It is certainly well for a youthful aud
inexperienced political organization like
the Democratic party" te . have the kind
offices of a mentor. The giddy young
thing might go astray aud stumble into all
sorts of pitfalls if its steps were net care
fully directed by soniewise, far-travelled
and skillful conductor The only difficulty
that interposes is that if the Democratic
party surrendered its own volition te the
will of such a guide, it might' rctider itself
obnoxious te the charge that it had given
itself ever into the hands of a " boss."
The foregoing reflections are naturally
suggested by the gratuitous advice which
the Philadelphia Times is iu the habit of
obtruding upon the Democracy of Penn
sylvania. The Democratic slale conven
tion about te assemble will have te decide
between the defeat of the ticket it will
nominate and the acceptance of the mem
tership of the Times. This is a very
grave question and will probably give the
convention mere profound concern than
any ether matter that may challenge its
consideration. Let the delegates te that
body be admonished iu time te approach
the subject with proper solemnity and a
due regard for the consequences. ll
seems only fair and reasonable te iufer
from the interest which the Times mani
fests in the future of the Democratic
party that it desires the election of the
Democratic ticket next November If
this be an erroneous conclusion that jour
nal will of course correct it. But in order
te be en the safe side let us put the matter
in the alternative. If the Times does de.
sire the success of the Democrats at the
ensuing election, its advice should net be
rejected without due consideration. If, en
the contrary, the Times prefers the elec
tion or of the Cameren ticket te the suc
cess of the Democracy, its counsels should
be disregarded. But it is net a hard mat
ter te unriddle this sphinx of Philadelphia
journalism.
The Times declares that the Democrats
of Pennsylvania cau uomiuate a ticket
which will sweep the state, but that if
" guided by machine placemen and Bour
bon stupidity they will be hopelessly de
feated." This simply means that if the
personnel of the forthcoming Democratic
state ticket should net be satisfactory te
the Times it will oppose it and assist in
the election of the Cameren candidates.
Fer certainly ue Democratic ticket could
be defeated if it had the all-powerful sup
port of that journal. It will therofero be
seen hew important it is te the Democracy
that they should accept the prollereu men-
tership of the Times.
Nevertheless the Democrats of Pennsyl
vania would be glad te be lnleruied mere
particularly and specifically of the dan
gers which this voluntary guide would
have them avoid. "Bourbon stupidity"
and "machine placemen" are glittering
generalities, the advice te avoid tucm is
altogether te wide aud uncertain. Who,
for iustauce, is the "Bourbon." candidate
for governor against whose nomination
the Democracy are warned? The Times is
an "independent" journal and will net
shrink from naming names. But a few
gentlemen have been formally introduced
te the public as candidates for the Demo
cratic uomiuatien for governor ; that is te
say the only instructions that have been
giveu by the peeple te their delcgatcs
with refcreuce te that nomination are for
these few, namely, Messrs. Pattison, Hop Hep
kins, Wolvcrteu, Coxe aud Meuaghau.
There is plenty of dark horses likely te be
brought out aud it is net at all unlikely that
one is being groomed in the stables of the
Times disguised under a blanket which
bears auether name than thatef the wearer.
We confine ourselves, however, te the can
didates formally presented and ask the
Times te declare specifically which of these
if any of them, Mr. Pattison, Mr. Hop Hep
kins, Mr. Wolverton, Mr. Coxe, or Mr.
Monaghan, is the "Bourbon " or " ma
chine " man against whose nomination it
warns the Democracy. Let us have done
with vague allusions which are often mis
interpreted. An honest guide will net
content himself with merely hinting at
the dangers that impend.

te help the "Garfield Republicans " every-
. where en the greuud that during the
twenty-three years he has bceu in public
life his "private interests" have been
neglected, aud new they require all his
care aud attention .
In the twenty-three years of Mr .Blaine's
public life he has drawn from the treasury
en au average six theusaud dollars a year
as congressman, seuater and secrctary of
state or iu all about ene hundred and
forty thousand dollars. Current report
places his fortune at between five aud ten
million dollars. He was a peer country
editor when he went te Congress. And
new we are told that he owns railroads
and coal mines, mines of nickel and of oil,
and real estate worth thrice the sum he

It is a pity that Mr. Blaiue has uoglcct ueglcct

Cant. Slayinuker's Speech. '
Loud applause greeted Captain Slay
maker, who addressed President Furmau
as fellows :
"Mr. Presideut aud gentlemen of the
Union fire company, Ne. 1, of Trenten :
As president of the Union steam fire en
gine and forcing hose cempauy, Ne. l,of
the city of Lancaster, I have been in
structed? by the company te perform a
very ple'asaut duty. That duty.isir, ts.ty
present te your company a slight tcsti
menial of their high appreciation of the
grand and hospitable reception given the
company ou the occasion of their visit te
your ancient and historic city in' Septem
ber last ; a reception, sir, such as only
springs from the open hand and warm
and generous heart of the volunteer firo fire
mau. We came among you,sir,entirestran yeu,sir,entirestran
cers. Yeu received aud welcomed us as
brother firemen aud ministered te our
comfort and iu a maimer that will ever be
gratefully remembered by the memhers
who had the pleasure of being among
the number en that lniesti-liappy Visit.
And net enlv veur company, sir, but the
citizens of your beautiful city, as well as
your brother fireraeu, made us welcome
and our time spent among you delightful
aud agreeable. Accept then, sir, this tes
timonial iu the spirit iu which itisten
dcrcd ; aud, we trubt, sir, that' the friend
ship formed between the Union of Tren Tren
eon and thq Uuiqn of Lancaster may eu eu
duie forever."
Kecclviiig the Gilt.
President Furmau aeceptcd the gift aud
requested cx-Judge James Buchanan te
respond ou behalf of the Trenten Union, a
task, of which the clequcut gentleman
proceeded te deliver himself substantially
as fellow:; :
" Mr. Piesident and geutlemeu of the
committee : It affords me great pleasure as
spekesmau for the Utiien fire company, te
receive this magnificent gift at your hands.
Yeu have remarked that there are ue
talkers ainen-r veu : but if these that I
have heard thus far are specimens df;the.
" ue talkers " it is merely a question What;
your talkers would be. It is indeed ri pleas
ure te respond te your kind aud pleasant
words, though I regret net te have had
adequate time te prepare for such an im
portant event.
We receive your generous gift first of
all for its rare beauty and artistic perfec
tion. It is but truth te say we had an
idea that something was coming. Seme
little bird Hew ever Irem the wilds of your
native Pennsylvania te the shores of New
Jersey aud chirped the news of some sur
prise in store for us, but it never entered
the brain of any of us, that such a work
of art should be ours, se beautiful a gift
whose beauty aud chastcness of design is
only equalled by its richness.
Each ornament thereon tells the fireman
something of his duty. Theso ladders aud
hooks, torches aud hose, and then these
clasped hands, that shall never be unclasp
ed until our mortal frames shall be ue
mere. And then these portraits ! Tien Tien
ten beasts of its pretty women, but if the
faces of this frame are the specimen types
of Lancaster citizens, that city takes the
palm for handsome men.
And chief of all, that interesting piece of
parchment in the centre, whose grace and
beauty, equal te a steel engraving, speaks
of tastefulness of design and delicacy of
exocutieu.
We rcceive it all with neculiar emotion
In September last you did leave you native,
state of i'enusylvania and came te lew
Jersey aud, confess it,gentIemcn, you wcre
captured and what is still mero, you were
kept captive and-1 must hcre ,say te the
president, who was absent,that.tis:com absent,that.tis:cem
pany were willing captives arid I would
also say, that for a long tirae the ladies of
Trenten continued te speak of " these fine
fellows from Lancaster." Yeu came and
were taken captive, it was oue of the most
pleasant reunions that had occurred for a
very long time and the only cause for ro re
gret we had was that your stay could net
last a few days longer, j ! ' ' i '
We accept this most expressive pledge
of your esteem and affection, proud that
in a few days the members of this company
could conquer and gain such love and
regard. Such a testimonial gives eloquent
utterance of your feelings towards .us and
will be prized and cherished while life
shall laet. It will be hung up in a -suitable
and honored place and as night after
nigbt the jnombers gather in their meeting
