LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1882. l.anra$tci fmrlltgencr. TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 6. 1882. The Labor Yte, Since the Grst organized movement or workingmenin politics in this state, forty years ago, it bas been their misfor tune almost uniformly to be either mis led or betrayed. In the expressive words of Judge Black in a recent familiar talk upon this subject, enriched by interest ing reminiscences and earnest words of sympathy with the daily toiler : " Labor in this country for more than a third of a century has been like a blind giant, thrashing itself in its just fury, apparent ly unable to see and know when, where and how to strike in order to secure re dress of undoubted and blighting griev ances." And that is pre-eminently the situation in Pennsylvania to-day. Hon est sympathizers with the toiling mil lions are not satisfied that it has been relieved by the progress of the present political Labot movement. For if that movement is organized sincerely in the interest of Labor its present manage ment is a blunder, and if, as Chairman Cooper boasts, it is managed in the in terest of the Republican hopes, it is n conspiracy, and its results will be most disastrous to the workingmen. In the present condition and attitude of the two great parlies no candidate of a third party has any likely chance of election to a state office. This is a fact which no intelligent man will for one moment question. The Independents frankly admit that they do not expect to e'ect Mr. Stewart, unless he should be came the candidate of a united party, and Armstrong cannot hope to poll any thing like the number of votes that Stewart is morally certain to receive in his presentSposition. This alleged Labor ticket has been in the field for more than three months, yet it has excited no popu lar interest among workingmen through, out the state, and it is evident that nearly the whole of whatever support it does receive at the polls will be the result of systematic effort by interested persons and of hidden influences which dare not face the light. Cooper makes it apparent that he will try and rehearse tiie dis creditable story of 1878, though it must be on a smaller scale. Since the Republican chairman avmvs thai a vote for Armstrong is a vote for Beaver, why should any workingiuau, or any citizen, and especially any Demo crat, throw away his vote on the Arm strong ticket ? Every such ballot cast is worse than wasted, inasmuch as it might be made productive of great good. There is no parallel between the cases of Armstrong and Slewart. Tiie hitter's supporters, in voting for him,are striking a deadly blow at the corrupt machine, the existence and growth of which threatens their party with ruin, while the logical result of Armstrong's candi dacy is claimed to be the salvation of the bosses in their hour of extreme peril Honest workingmen over the state havo taken alarm at Cooper's " give away " that the secret purpose of the most powerful element enlisted in be half of this so-called Labor ticket is to uso it so as to bring about General Beaver's election. Messrs. Armstrong and Heath and Jarret have no right to affect indignation at Democrats for put ting this construction upon their move ment. They havo only to thank the Beaver campaign manager for a timely and overwhelming exposure of the pur poses in which their movement is to be manipulated, no matter what different purpose it was originally intended to serve. In his elation at the work of the Philadelphia convention Mr. Chairman Cooier " gives the whole thing away " in an interview iu which he is reported as sayiutr : I think ihat Armstrong will poll from 60,000 t 100,00 votes. But his candidacy wilt not tend to prevent Beaver's elec tion : it will work the other way. Two votes out of three eat for Armstrong in Republican counties would otherwise go to tiio iJemocratic candidate, and tour out of every five which he receives in Demo cratic counties will bo cast by Democrats. I think that the convention was a fairly representative body and havo no doubt that most of the Labor organization will work for Armstrong. Stewart will bo very fortunate if ho polls half as many votes as Armstrong, ana the majority which will elect Beaver will be greatly increased by the results of yesterday's work. For such a prompt, explicit and full revelation of the conspiracy to manipu late the votes of unsuspecting working men in Beaver's behalf, Mr. Cooper should have a half-dozen Chicago ".JOG'' brass medals moulded into one as big as a barrel head. Is there a workingman in Pennsylvania who cannot clearly and convincingly see through this disreputa ble scheme ? The purpose is to make sure that the Armstrong vote is at least four-fifths Democratism order that Pat tison may be beaten and Beaver elected. Republican workingmen sympathizing with the Labor movement will be encour aged to shout for Armstrong until the the eve of the election, when, the victims of unscrupulous traders aud the delusive promises of the bosses m:ide through secret agents, they will be induced to " drop that racket" and to vote straight for Beaver. Xow what do honest workingmen, and especially Democratic workingmen, pro pase to do about it ? Are they ready to be again deluded aud betrayed into the hands of their mocking enemies ? Are they ready to assist iu continuing the enslavement of a great state? Every candidate on the Democratic reform ticket is a true friend of labor, their personal and official records are unassail able, and their election means the puri fication of the state government, the impartial enforcement of law, a check to corporation and monopoly control of legislation, and executive influence in favor of just laws only, while their de feat and the election of Beaver and his Cameron-branded associates will mean the indefinite postponement of reform and a continuation of the evils, which have made our state capital a re proach to the nation. Workingmen of Pennsylvania, what answer ? Tub Examiner seems to have been be wildered at our statement that we had been at the " bellows " for fifteen years, etc. Well, we were somewhat surprised, too, at reading that declaration in print. What we wrote was that we had been at the " helm." The intelligent composi tor made an amendment. Perhaps he was induced to do it by the belief that he was striking savagely at the truth. We will not say him nay. Cooper will discover that he has made nothing for his party and his can didate by an assault upon the father of Mr. Pattison, who, though in his grave, is of blessed memory among those who knew him. He was a man conspicuous alike for learning and good works. Though an earnest Methodist and iu the front rank of the clergy of that denom ination he was a broad-minded and liberal Christian, who gave offense to none that differed from him. Dur iug the war lie was eminent as a sup porter of the Union, aud lie aided, with every seemly means,- to uphold the government in its struggle for existence. For Cooper's smut machine to assail such a man as a " secessionist " aud to seek to injure the living by libelling the dead is a stroke iu politics that can barm none except the desperate men who re sort to it. It need not be said that they who invoke this style of warfare are men not worthy to loose tho shoe-latchets of the late Rev. Dr. Pattison. In the com munities where his character and that of his defamers are known we are well satisfied to take public judgment in this matter. A suhgicai, operation will perhaps be required to make the Philadelphia Even ing News, which published a recent in terview with Thomas B. Cochran, of this city, understand the facts concern ing the Independent meeting here last week. This Herculean task will not be attempted. Sufficient it is to say, three fifths of all the districts of the county were represented, and several of Lancas ter's wealthiest and most influential Republicans signified by letter that-they were in accord with the spirit of the meeting. The truth is not always plea sant, but it is agood thing for an organ to be occasionally reminded of. " Pattison at his desk " aud Phipps a fugitive- According to Cooper Beaver does not wear the bronze medal he won at Chicago in 1880. Why not ? " Pattimin at his desk " and the Phil adelphia city tax reduced from $2.25 to $1.85. Not bo long ago the Harrisburg Tde grapli spoke of Candidate Davics as one of a "gang of political tramps and vaga bonds." How now :' Judge Dunn's Philadelphia Sunday Transc ripl says that Pattison has a '"bad eye." So he has ; a dreadfully bad eye for Bunn's friend Phipps and for other ring thieve?. Chairman All. Shenck has sent out a bluo circular to bis couuty committeemen, decorated with a picturo of Beaver, and abovo it. the insciiption : "The Banner of the Faithful." That is right. Tho faith ful Cameron henchmen are rallying under it. And " bluo " enough they arc. Tut-: Philadelphia Evening Neits has a political stomach that can digest nails, labelled "Cameron," but Cameron's last deliverance on the tariff is too much for it. Accordingly it tries to explain what he "iiieauf and what ho " had iuhis mind." Tho Ncics is an "amoostn cuss." Tim New Yoik Sun gives double leaded prominence to a couple of what it calls "Orphic poams" by Joliu Swiuton of its editorial staff. This is a specimen of Or phic poetry. It is tho worst yet. " Sh !"

Tho latest fashionable affectation is to change Greeu Tree not Paoli. as the Mercury 6ays ,! but to tho outlandish, harsh, and almost unpronounceable name of Dyffryn Mawr." Akteii their long strugglo the Republi cans of the Seventh congressional district came to au impotent conclusion yesterday Dr. Evaus, of Montgomery county, who lives very near to tho Bucks couuty line, was nominated by the voto of a majority of the Bucks county delegates and against tho wishes of a majority of tho Mont gomery county delegates. As the nomi nation was conceded to Montgomery this disposition of it will bo very unsatis factory to the Republicans of that county. The Lausdalo conference has done all it could to cut dowu the Republican majority in the Seventh district. The Chicago Tribune is high Republi can authority, and it seems to think that the salvation of its party depends upon the destruction of Caiucrouism, of which it mildly remarks : Cameron has made machine Republi canism iu Pennsylvania a moral monster. It has inado the maehino party a gang of political thieves, at tho head of which Cameron exercises absolute power. Tho Camerous must be deposed aud the party rescued cr the party in Pennsylvania must bo abandoned aud left to go to pieces. The only thing left of machine Republicanism iu Pennsylvania is Cameronism, and Caraeronism is tho combination of every thing that is dishonest in politics, corrupt iu government, aud disgraceful in practice. It is time that the Republican party and press outsido of Pennsylvania shall ac tively demand that the party in that state shall repudiate, reject and defeat the cor rupt machine. Its success means the na tional defeat of the party iu 1884. ueuernl Chatosers Beady for a Iucl. A duel is imminent between Oon. Chal mers and Van. tf. Manning, candidates for Congress.

STATE POLITICS. BBEAKINU A STUBBORN DEAD LUCK Evans Nominated for Congress In tbe Backs Montgomery District Alter a Long Mnd Exciting Straggle. The Republican convention of tho 7th congressional district again met inFrecd's hall Monday morning to finish its uncom pleted labors. Tho candidates were early on the ground, receiving their friends at their hotel headquarters. The convention got to work promptly at 11 o'clock and the 94th ballot was taken. It was almost similar to the first ballot and resulted : Weand, 34 ; Evans, 34 ; Thropp, 25 ; Oodshalk, 15 ; Bean, 5 ; Renuyson, 3). Up to the end of the G8th ballot, when the convention adjourned for dinner, the result of tho ballotiug did not change materially. On reassembling tbe chairman read a communication from Congressman God shalk, withdrawing, for tbe sake of Re publican harmony, and tho sixty-ninth ballot showed'' that Godsbalk's fifteen delegates voted : For Beau, 1 ; Weand, 2 ; Thropp, 3, aud Evans, 9. Up to the seventy-ninth ballot, when tho convention took a recess for half au hour, Weand fell to 31 and then steadily increased to 36. Evans was as high as 4G, hut fell to 3G. Thropp on two ballots had 40, but fell to 31. On the seventy-eighth and seventy-ninth ballots new men were inter jected. After tho ninety-third ballot, Thropp withdrew his name. The ninety fourth ballot began with mote than usual excitement. Tbe result was : Evans, 58 37 from Bucks and 21 from Mont gomery and Weand, 54 21 from Bucks and 33 from Montgomery. This elected Evans, and tho successful candidate was brought before tho convention and made a speech. W.'and promised to suppoit the ticket, as did Thropp, aud the conven tion adjourned. Iu the Carbon couuty Democratic con vention Edwin SDyder, Lehighton, and John J. Gallagher, of Beaver Meadow, wero nominated for tho Legislature ; Geo. W. Esser was renominated for prothono taryand Charles W. Lentz for sheriff. Allen Craig, A. C. Brodhcad and Dr. J. C. Kreamur wero appointed senatorial eoufeiecs, and Judge 11. E. Packer, Judge Charles . Mcedsen and Michael Carridy were appointed congressional couferccs. Tho conferees were uninstructed, but are known to be for aud will present tho name of A. G. Brodhead for the consideration of the conference. For Assembly the Republicans of Mifllin county nominated Ira Thomas, of Armagle township. John P. Taylor, of Brown township, was indorsed as a candi date for Congress, with power to choose his own conferees. Samuel Sterrctt, of Decatur township, was elected senatorial delegate to tbe next state convention, Joe M. Woods representative delegate and Lafayetto Webb, of Lcwistowu, chairman of the county commiitee. Tho Democracy of Susquehanna couuty iu convention made the following nomi nations : For Congress, George A. Post ; for state senator. Eugene O'Ncil ; for representatives, J. P. A. Eingley, J. C. Wucaton ; for prothouotary, J. F. Buttcr iicld; for jury commisssoucr, Georgo Harvey. The couveutiou was full and enthusiastic. Speeches wero made G. A. Post, M S. Alleu aud O'Noil. The state ticket was heartily indorsed. Iu the Republican county convention in Lebanon, the nominations were made for the first lime by an open ballot. S. F. Barr was renominated unanimously for Congress, Josiah Funck for judge, L. C Kline, and J.J. Euston for Assembly, Frank Ream lor prothouotary, Frank Boeshcre for sheriff, Henry Kern for direc tor of the poor and Cyrus Rhitoubatt for coroner. Democratic nominations weic made iu Snyder county as follows : For Congress, Thomas J. Smith ; for assembly. Dr. J. Sweigart ; for prothonotary, A. Kieeger; for recorder, Miles Wctsel ; for associate judge, M. L. Suroyei Tho Democrats of the Twentieth sena torial district (Lackawanna aud parts of Luzerne couuty) nominated ex-Judge Stautou for senator on tho foui th ballot after a close fight, tho decisive voto stand ing : Stanton 3(3. White 35. It is claimed by Whito that there was fraud iu counting tho vote, and he will publish a caid iu to-morrow's papers claiming the nomination. Tho Dcmociats in tho Lackawanna portion of tho Eleventh congressional dis trict havo appointed F. A. Beamish, O. P. Biglin and E. J. Lynott conferees, with instructions to use all honorable mcaus in their conference, which meets at Mauch Chunk on Wednosday, for the nomination of ex-Senator Buckalow. It is thought the Luzcruo couferccs will go to Buckalow early in tho light, arid that as soon as tbe Mouroo oounty conferees have expeuded their strength in favor of J. B. Storm they will go to the Columbia statesman. This would give Mr. Bucka lew twelve of the twenty-ono conferees and secure his nomination. UOISHBltS AND KUBUKIUKS.

When Major Phipps retired from the management of tho almshouse, Philadel delphia, it is a wonder that- he left even the building behind him. Already about 10,000 worth of goods stolen from tho in stitution have been recovered, aud the search has hardly begun. Other houses besides tho ono at 3,419 Waluul; street, which the major had fitted up for his own used, will bo searched. Dctcctivo Miller and members of the Committee of One Hundred again went through the major's house, and, as a result, five wagon loads of goads were sent back to tho almshouse. They found sugar and lard by tho barrel, 200 jars of preserves, French brandy, wine, champagne, bay rum, boxes of macaroni, pepper and cinna mon, bottles of various essences, jars of pickles and other articles enough to stait a (irst class grocery store. They also found handkerchief?, tiuc tooth combe, coarse combs, brushes, boxes of rubber bauds, scrub brushes by tho dozen, Turkish towels, lino sheeting, muslin, gingham, crash, napkins, piano covers, stationary of all sorts, cutlery, cooking uteusils, water coolers, spoons, rolls of ncttiog and a miscellaneous lot of towels, pieces of calico, carpet, napkins, crash and kitchen aud dining room linen of all kinds. Iu the second-story back room, which Mr. Phipps occupied for his private business, a locked desk was fouud aud opened . Iu one drawer were a number of letters ad dress to Mrs. Phipps by tho major, but in the sccoud drawer were a mess of muti lated due bills, in sums ranging from 10 to 200, tho sum total being roughly esti mated at $250,000, and tho time covered dated from the major's inductiou into ollico. Theso bills had been given by tbe major for cash borrowod or for supplies purchased, and in a majority of instances the names of those in whoso favor they were drawu had been erased or, cut out. It was in this private room that so large a quantity of stolen supplies were found to day. Phipps's downfall is traced back to 1878, when it was discovered by tho comptrol ler that ho had not made any return of house receipts to the city treasury for sov cral years. This sum, $20,000, lie paid over after several months' delay, having been compelled to borrow it from contrac tors and others. This monoy, it was said by some of the guardians, was used in an important political campaign. Others said it was used to run tho houso, but the true inwardness was never 'discovered. An investigation is now being made on that point. Phipps is still missing, and the detectives are scarchiug everywhere. Chief of Police Givin is couiideut ho will be captured before long. The New Bonds. The first of the new three per cent, bunds have just becu issued. Thrco hun dred and lifty millions of these bonds have been printed, and thero are five de nominations, namely: 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 10,000. Tho paper is distinctive, with threads running through it, similar to that used lor greenbacks. Each bond bears a view of the treasury department, and each denomination has a distinctive vignette as follows : 50, Fessenden ; 100, De Witt Clinton ; 500, Franklin ; 1,000 Garfield ; 10,000, Alexander Ham ilton. The face of tho bonds is printed iu black and tho color of the backs is differ ent in each denomination, namely : Green on the 50, bluo on tho 100, red on tho 500, brown on the 1,000, and black on tho 10,000. They are printed in such a way that when folded the whole story of the bond can be read without opening it. The Iron Strike to tio on. The long iron strike bids fair to continue indefinitely, so far as the workmen arc conccrucd. On Monday 58 of tho G3 lodges of tho Amalgamated association in the lir&t district met in Pittsburgh and unani mously decided, after a full expression of opinion and mature deliberation, to stand by the scale submitted to the manufac turers, which calls, for $6 per ton for boil, ing irop, A NOISY MEETING. STALWART STRIKERS AND MEEUEB8. A Gang, Led by a Hencbiaan or Moaat, At tempt to Break Up a Gathering ot Colored Independents. Thero was a large meeting of respecta ble colored men in Philadelphia, on Monday night, called for the purpose of endorsing the Independent Republican nominees. A contingent of Stalwart strikers and heelers had been sent to the meeting, and they did all in their power to capture it for Beaver. They did not succed in silencing tbe Independent speakers, but they did create a great noise and confusion when the meeting was about half over, and for a time it looked like breaking up in a row. About a dozen policemen from tho Nine teenth district station house were present on duty, and while they made a pretence of remonstrating with the roughs they appealed to be more in sympathy with the rowdies than to make any determined effort to preserve order. Tho most con spicuous among the disturbers of the meeting wero Geo. A. Cornelius, the Fifth ward constable, who was one of Mouat's right hand men in tho raid on tho ballot boxes for which Mouat is now serving a tei in of imprisonment ; Frank Jones, employed iu the custom house ; Warrcu Jackson, a member of and messen ger for the Stalwart state committco ; Frank Woods, member of tho Stalwart state committee ; Jacob Purnell employed at tho United States mint ; James Purnell, messenger in the sheriff's office ; James Purnell, employed at the navyuard ; Jonn Brown, employed iu the custom house ; Spencer Irving, employed at the navy yard James J. Junior, messenger iu the recorder of deeds' ollico. A. T. Jones, the secretary, read a series of resolutions denouncing the uso ot money and liquor to control colored votes and in dorsing tbo Independent movement in this state. As soon as tho resolutions were read a scene of indescribable confusion en sued. Led by Cornelius, the ruffians iu the back end of the room raised such a howl that not a word could bo heard. This continued for several minutes. In vain did the chairman call for order and in vain did the gentlemen on tbe stage insist that the policemen should keep the dis turbers out. Finally Mr. Purves made himself heard and respected. "Iu the name of God," he began, "do j ou expect to frightou the mcu who aro on this stage? Men who suffered at tbo hands of pro slavery mobs the same ruffianly treat ment that you aro now enacting at tbe dictation of bosses ?" As the president siuce 1835 of tho Pennsylvania Anti Slavery society, aud as tho only delegate save Whitticr to tho convention which founded tho American Anti-Slavery society still living, be demanded to be heard. The eloquent, white-haired old man quelled tho ruffiaus for tho timo being, but when he closed by offering a series, of resolu tions indorsmg Stewart and tho Independ ent ticket another hubbub was raised sufficient to prevent action on tho resolu tions. i KAVACES OF DISEASE. Tbo Mortullly (.'mised by Yellow Fever and Smallpox. One new case of yellow fever was re ported in Pcnsacola yesterday. Seven persons are now sick of the fever, two of whom aro likley to dio ; tho rest aro im proving. One hundred and forty-eight cases of yellow fever aud ten deaths have becu re ported in Brownsvillo for the last two days. Tho new cases yesterday numbered 78. Eight cases aud one death woro reported at Point Isabel on Sunday. Two hundred cases of tho fever are re ported iu San Bernardo, a town of 4,000 inhabitants, across tbo Mexican border. No new cases of smallpox wero reported iu Patersou, N. J. There was one death from tho disease, tho victim being a thrco-year-old child. Th) public schools in Patersou have been closed. Almost an epidemic of dysentery is re ported iu Ashburuham, Mass., and the diseaso, which is attributed to the impuri ty of the water supply consequent upon long draught, seems to bo spreading to West Fitchburg, an other valley towns. In Abhburnham there have been 14 cases, several of them fatal. Rev. 31. D. Fiske, pabtor of the Congregational church, is among tho sick. George R.

Dark red blotches appear upon the body before death, aud somo farmers pronounced tho disease as hog cholera. Tho state health authorities will be uotilicd. FBK1GUT WltKCK. . Over Firry earn oft' tho Track at Uarrlsburg. Monday night about ten o'clock the traiu of local freight :i.l was broken near Hauua street, Hat risburg. As soon as tho break was discovered tho flagman of the train hurried back to flag another freight following directly in the rear. He had hardly gotten off the train when tho un fortunate freight in the rear was seen coming down the track at a high rate of speed. Engineer McGowcn, of the rear train, reversed his engino and put ou tho air brakes at once, but a collision was in evitable, as his traiu was at too high a rate of speed to stop it in such a short distance. lie and his fireman sprang from the engino just as it struck the oaboose of tho front train, and thus escaped fatal in jury. The engine struck the caboose, split ting it and throwing the cars in almost every direction. Tho engineer and fireman es caped with hut slight injuries and tho brakemen were all unhurt. Tho number of cars wrecked is near thirty. Tbo track was blocadcd and trains delayed. Tho wreck ing gang was ordored to tho scene of the disaster at once.
