The Republican Break-up.
Tbe leading Republican paper of St.
Louis, referring to the condition of its
party in Missouri, candidly sdys :
" What the Republican party in this
state needs to-day :3 peace within its
own ranks,"and,noticlng this statement,
Boston journal remarks : " That seems
to be the great need of the Republican
party every Trhere." Just so. This
once invincible political organization is
in the condition of a man in the prime cf
life, as to years, but physically, men
tally and morally M all broken up." It
is not only hi Pennsylvania and New
York that grave trouble "exists, but an
ominous condition of affairs is to be
noted throughout the country, as " a
call of the states " will develop. Let us
see.
In Maine the Republican factional
quarrel became so bitter two years ago,
that in the midst of a heated presiden
tial contest, the state was lost to the
party in September, and was only rf cov
ered in November after a desiierate
strurrrrle. It was successful a ain last
month, but by a reduced majority, a:d
it u well known that the rural lead
ers have only pooled their issues fr
the time baing. In New Hampshire a
fierce internal contest has been going on
for several years, which will culminate
a!; the coming election of a United States
Senator, a prize which Secretary Chand
ler has determined to ruin at any ccst
In Massachusetts where the Republi
can majority used to rango from seventy
to one hundred thousand, the party has
recently made a narrow escape from open
rupture, and it will ba thankful if its
candidate lor governor runs the race
against General Butler by a neck. In
New York the fires of interna! rpvtdu
tion' are burning furiously and no in
telligent ob?rver could exiect any
thing but overwhelming disaster at the
polN ia Novembsr, a-? tha fitting reward
of Arthurnm. Ia New Jersey the Re
publicans carried the Legislature ir.
1880, only to tear themselves into pieces
over the United State3 senatorship, and
to-day, between Robesoiiisai at one end
of the state and Walter Phelpslsra a
the otherj the party is steadily losing
ground.
In Pennsylvania the conflict between
the machineand the disinterested, honest
voters is irreconcilable. The bosses have,
heard their death warrants read, and in
return they will pu5i down the pillars of
the temple. In liltie Delaware even Re
publicanism has lecome -synonymous
with factionalism of the fiercest kind,
and in Maryland the party has not known
P3ace and unity since Creswel! was given
the rank and emoluments of a boss in
the Grant cibicet in 1859. In Virginia
one branch of the party has committed
Mahoneicide and the other is having the
life choked out of it because It will not
do likewise. From the Carolina clear
round to Tennesse, not excepting that
state, nothing in the shape of an efficient
Republican stato organization is to lie
found. Everywhere the party is torn
into fragments and frantically clutching
at all sorts of inconsistent, disreputable
and illusory "coalitions," and in the
few congressional districts, where it hap
pens to retain, temporarily, a majority,
it is torn and rent with Mackeyism, Kel
logism and Chalmersism.
Ohio has been heard from. In
Indiana there is no peace in the
Republican family. In Michigan Jay
Hubbelli3tn is becoming a heavy load
for Republicanism. As to Illinois, Sen
ator Logan's irrepressible bossing pro
pensities, local corruption in party
methods, and the prohibition issue has
made sorry work of the Republican
party in the great prairie state. Through
Matt CarpenterLsm, though the senator
is dead, and bo3sism, Wisconsin has
been made a doubtful state. In Mis
souri the Stalwarts cannot agree even
among themselves, and are engaged in a
desperate fight over the federal spoils.
Colorado, the youngest state in the
Union, and -not yet out of political pina
fores, has been Seized by ambitious and
reckless Republican bosses, backed up
by the administration, and a Republican
factional fight precipitated that can
scarcely be subdued, even on the sur
face, before election day. In f.tr away
Oregon the Republicans carried the Leg
islature only to get into a bitter quarrel,
already disgraced by open venality ever
the United States senatorship.
"What a Kilkenny cat spectacle ia thus
presented by a bird's-eye view of the
party of great moral ideas aud national
regeneration, from ocean to ocean and
the lake3 to the gulf . In less than ten
states is it at peace with itself, and the
root and cause of its destroying and con
suming internal troubles is the spoils
system. The party is being torn in
pieces by place-holders and place-hunters,
who, in turn, are being broken on
the wheel by their betrayed, disgraced
and indignant follower. Political his
tory may be searched in vain fr an in
stance where a parly ever recovered
from such volcauic disorder. It is a
mass of factional fire and its days are
numbered. If it can no longer control
itself in three-fourths of the states ol
the Union it certiinly cannot hope to
continue in control of the national gov
ernment. For tht past twelve years it
has lived upon the spoils system ; it will
die a victim of the same.
Dan Dougherty has come home'
from Europe, and declares himself for
P.ittison. It was reported that he was
opposed to him because he deemed him
not up to the proper stature of a Penn
sylvania governor. Mr. Dougherty de
clares, however, that Pattison is quite
up to the existing standard of our
governors. He properly regards the
office as oae of great dignity, to be filled
by a most distinguished citizen. lie
seems to have thought Mr. Pattison too
young to have yet achieved the place in
public estimation from which he would
naturally step into the governorship.
Rut the mantle in Pennsylvania i3 not
customarily cast, as he says, on the
shoulders of those who are first in the
hearts of their fellow citizens.
No doubt many Republicans will
sneeriagly say that the victory, won by
their adversaries in Ohio last Tuesday
was a rum triumph, and there may be a
few unthinking Democrats, unable to
give a leason for the faith that is in
them, who will deplore the stand taken
by the party on the liquor question. The
position taken by the Democratic party
-is its time-honored opposition to sump
tuary legislation. It believes in the
largest measure of personal liberty con
sistent with public order. Granting
that we have a right to say whether or
not a man may indulge in drink, with
equal force the slate may interfere with
his love for tobacco, and bis belief in
his religion. They all hinge on the false
theory that the citizen should be con
trolled according to his conduct, when
he himself only is affected, by the state ;
whereas the true doctrine is that in this
regard he should control himself. The
Democratic party has' no reason to feel
ashamed of the victory it has won. It
has always been conspicuous in its de
fense of the inalienable rights of man.
It should not be forgotten by Republi
cans that in the rural districts where the
liquor issue was scarcely felt the Demo
cratic gains were enormous. The as
sumption that it was a mere rum vic
tory does not explain the loss of eleven
congressmen. The crushing defeat
shows most clearly the disintegration of
the Republican party, and its entire
downfall is now only a question of
time.
The Ohio victory is growing. Ten
thousand majority was enough both for
the decision it made and the emphasis
with which it gave it ; but the addi
tional emphasis of thirty thousand makes
the teaching of the result still more un
impressive. It will thoroughly subdue
the already demoralized ranks of
the Republican army, and it
wiM be hard for the leaders to
bring up a respectable line of battle
ia any of tho states next month. The
present Republican Congress will have a
melancholy time this winter and will
have reason to regret the speed with
which it expelled Democratic members.
It would havo been better to wait and
see whether their ox would not be up at
the next session for goring. It is always
better for politicians to be decent and
fair, for they know not when the Lour of
tribulation comes.
Ik the mere announcement of the fact
that Pattison is to take a run or two out
among the people mis so demoralized the
machine and its organs, what will be the
effect of a few quiet seeches on the
way 'i The echo of the Commonwealth
club address is still ringing through the
hills and valleys of the state.

As tho returns from tho Ohio election
continue to come in, it is seen that the ex.
tent of the Democratic victory is even
wider than had been expected from tho
earlier leports. Tho majority on the
state ticket is upwards of 30,000, the
election of sixteen congressmen practically
assured, and in every particular the tri.

As the returns from Ohio como in the
Democratic majority increases. The Dem
ocrats are claiming the state by from
25,000 to 30,000 majority and the Repub
licans are inclined to concede something
like 20,000. The returns show that the
Republicans were entirely at sea on all
their calculations. They had carefully
figured it out that their nlv losses would
be in the cities, where tho German vote is
strong, and they confidently expected to
get the bulk of the Prohibition vote It
seems, however;: that tho Prohibitionists
would not trust either party and the in
dications aro that they have not only
stuck solidly by their ticket, but havo
gained a considerable vote. Tho temper
ance issue raised by Governor Foster
therefore worked disadvantageous!; to
tho Republican party. It not only lost
them the German vote,-but it increased the
Prohibition vote materially.
Tbe Democrats gain all through the
country, where the liquor question had no
effect whatever as an issue. The honest
country people havo recorded their votes
against tho Stalwart ism of the Arthur-Mahone-Chalmers
administration. They
could not forget the shanio which this
combination has brought upon tho party
since the death of Garfield, and they have
stamped their protest not only upon the
face of tho stato ticket, but upon tho con
gressional tickets as well. Tho Democrats
havo thus made a great gaiu of congress
men, and Chairman Nasi), of the Repub
lican stato committee, figured it out last
night that ho cau put down for sure only
fivo Republican congressmen, just the
number of Democrats ia tho present dele

Chairman Uonftel on the Hostile.
Chairman Hansel's view of the situation
is colored with roseate hues by the new
Ohio idea aud he does not hesitate to say
that the Democratic gains in the Congres
sional delegation aro a crushing defeat of
the administration and will " settle" Er
rett and Barr for Congress and 20,000 to
Pattison's majority. He said : " I have
always maintained that tho issues which
were involved in our state campaign were
not the same iu any other state, and the
incident of victory iu Ohio has not chang
ed my opinion on that point. Ihave never
felt that tho result hero depended upon
the result in any other state aud the oyes of
our people havo not been turned to the Sep
tembcrand October elections this year as
before. At the same time it was already
manifost that the fact of tho Democrats
carrying Ohio will inspire the Democrats
of Pennsylvania to greater life aud enthu
siasm aud result iu bringing out a much
larger vote, while, at the same time it will
depress tho Stalwarts aud make them
more hopeless than they had been before.
I think that tho national significance of
the Ohio election lies in tho crushing de
feat which tho administration aud tho Stal
warts havo received there. Mr. Keifcr was
the special representative of the adminis
tration, and tho fact of largo congressional
gains for tho Democrats in his stato vin
dicates tho Independent movoment aud
will materially influence, tlic result in those
congressional districts of this state in
which the nominees are distinctively Cam
eron Stalwarts. It shows that tho temper
of the people is against 'bossism' and
the spoils system, and inasmuch as Beaver's
candidacy stands for these, tho prospects
of his election have bsen utterly ruined. "
DUUUHEKTr ON i'ATTISOM.
Tiie I) rat or Pronounces Him an Estlinaulo
Man.
Dauiol Dougherty has just returned
from Europe, having made a pleasant tour
through Belgium, Germany, Austria and.
Italy. Just after his departure the Cin
cinnati Enquirer printed what purported
to bo au interview with him. This vera
cious article was signed by George Alfred
Townscnd, a fact that in itself should
have fully guaranteed its truthfulness, and
represented Mr. Dougherty as saying that
Robert E. Pattison, theu recently nomi
nated for governor was in no way worthy
of the honor. Mr. Dougherty was visited
by a reporter and asked whether ho had
anything to say in reply to Georgo Alfred
Tow-end's alleged interview. Mr Dough
erty said :
I havo an indistinct recollection of a
casual cuuvptsatiru, iu which, I suppose,
Mr Townsond must have been a listener
or a participant. I certainly had littla to
say to hira individually. Private conver
sation, by every principle of prcprietv,
should never bo repeated. That Mr.
Towusond would afterward write his re
tnrmbraucc of my words,aud send it back
3,000 niiles for publication as my utter
ance, I never could have dreamt. I can
conceive of no motive that prompted tho
writer but a desire to injure mo, and an
attempt to injure Mr. Pattison, whose
nomination I will, of course, support and
cheerfully aid in electing. Placed
in an embarrassing situation by a
violation of social intercourse, 1
must ba permitted to say that it
seems I havo peculiar views about our
state. Possibly I may be mistaken ; but
I have a notion that Pennsylvania is a
really great commonwealth that ' to be
governor of Pnnnsylvania, or a senator of
the United States from Pennsylvania is a
vast responsibility and should only bo given
to ono who has shown himself in some way
intelligently fitted for the exalted honor.
Having said this much I am bouud
to add that Mr. Pattison is fully up, nay,
above the standmd of Pennsylvania gover
nors. I havo had little opportunity to
judge of his mental gifts. His remarks
at tho Commonwealth club iu September,
which I read this afternoon for tho first
time, are admirable, straightforward
and havo none of tho cringing of the
demagogue. He may develop into
a great man, for he will havo a great op
portunity. Mr. Pattison, of a certainty,
has other duties equally important busi
ness ability, practical sense, force of char
acter, unswerving adherence to exact in
tegrity, and I am sure he will be faithful
and clean in the public ojjice ; will stop all
raids upon the public treasury and be free
from improper partisan complications.

A Gerinau family named Wichmusky,

mediately after their arrival Mrs. Wich
musky was takcu sick, with a disease
which crippled her, and a short timo after
ward the husband aud father was pros

work in the mines aud tho cider daughter
left at homo to take care of her parents.
Two months had hardly passed till both
son and daughter were also stricken down
with a fatal disease and thus was the en

public till Friday last, when tho elder
daughter died literally of starvation. Tho
chief of police was thou notified, but tho
story of the poor family's sufferings was
heard so late as to render asslatance of
little benefit, for on Sunday morning tho
son, aged eighteen, followed his elder sis--ter
into eternity, and yesterday tho youn

A iUasaacre ot Winter In L,ee county, Ala

Intelligence has been received of a con
templated uprising of tho negroes in Lcc
county, Alabama. Tho news was brought
by a number of families who have fled to
Columbus, Ga., and points near there fo
escape tho threatened danger. It is
learned that a trustworthy negro informed
Ilohoit Saeser that the negroes in
tend to barn the hoar.es and
massacre the whites on Friday or
Satuiday next. The trouble ia said to
havo grown out of a disturbance caused
by a negro shooting a whito man somo
weeks ago. The wildest excitement is
said to prevail all ovcrL&e county, partic
ularly iu tho vicinity of the Chcwacia lime
works, at Yongsboro. The reports coming
in, although regarded as much exaggera
ted, cause soma excitemont hero, because
they aro believed to have some' founda
tion. A dispatch to the Enquirer-Sun from
Youngboro, Ala., the nearest station to
the Chcwacia lime works, says thoro is no
uprising of negroes in that section. Other
families who reached Columbus, Ga,, to
night say that trouble is expected.

FATAL JURY OF A MOB

He in Torn From the JaU and Killed on tb
Street A Pitcned Battle Between the
Mob and FoUce.
At ten minutes past two o'clock Wed
nesday morning about 100 mounted men
from Posey county, Ind., quietly sur
rounded.the county jaik awoke the sheriff
and demanded of him the keys of the jail.
They then went to the cell of Hume Red
man, who is imprisoned for wife murder,
took him out and putting him in a buggy
drove off with him. Upon their leaving a
number of shots were fired, and the tire
bells were rung for the purpose of notify
ing tho police, but before tho arrival
of the patrolmen the squad was out of
night, disappearing down the street
leading to the Mi. Vernon road. The
sheriff was warned only a moment before
tbe mob arrived at the jail, and before he
could get to tho outer door to lock it the
mob burst iu 'upon him and hold him a
prisoner. The police on arriving followed
tho mob aud finally got within gunshot
distance. The policemau fired after the
retreating men, aud one of them, named
Dave Muiphy, living near Rcdmau's homo,
in Posey county, was killed. As tho mob
hurried along with Redman, a fire engine
ran against tbe buggy in which tho prisoner
was seated aud overturned it, when tho
order was given to kill Redman on the
spot.
One of tho men seized a sledge hammer
and dealt Redman a powerful blow on the
head, felling him to the ground. At this
point Chief Pritchett arrived on the scene.
One of the mob ran up to him aud said :
" Go away from here, Pritchett ; wo do
not want to kill yuu ;" at tho same time
snapping a revolver in his face, but his
hand was knocked up before the weapon
was discharged and tho shot passed by
harmlessly. By this timo several officers
wero on the grouud, aud they, without any
orders from their superiors, opened fire on
the rapidly retreating mob, who in turn
fired as they ran. Tho mob were well
armed, and a pitched battle was fought on
Third htrcct, the bullets whistling in every
direction.
Chief Pritchett and Detectivo Newell,
who led the fiht "against the mob, made
an effort to capture some of them, but the
firing was !o vigorous that they were com
pelled to lie flat on tho ground in order to
escape death. Tho result of tho battle
was that Redman was not only killed
where ho was stricken down with a
'sledge-hammer, but over two dozen balls
entered his body. It was at this place
that David Murphy, a brother-in-law of
the murdered womau, met her death.
The mob was so intent on killing Redman
that they fired helter skelter through their
own ranks. Tho body ot Redman was
conveyed to the court houso, but lifo was
rxtinct. Tiie mob ou leaving ths scene
separated, and cvory thing was doue to
avoid tho officers.

The Variety fentertalninnut Last Night.
Last evening Lillie Hall's burlesque
company appeared in tho opera house.
Tho audience was of good sizo and
tho show gave satisfaction, most of
the people being very good, in their lines.
The entertainment opened with tho farco
entitled " Coney Island or Scenes at tho
Piers," which introduced tho whole com
pany. There was a good deal of fun in
tho pieco aud plenty of singing anddauc
ing. Miss Mabel Vaughau opsned tho
first part of tho chow with serio comic
songs. Sho was followed by Bobby New
comb, who is oue of the neatest- song and
danco men living, ile was recalled four
or fivo tiroes, so pleased was his audience.
He appeared in white faco and a neat suit,
aud his act is very fine. Mile. Zittelli, a
well shaped and pretty faced woman gave a
very line exhibition of lightning changes.
She has a good strong voico and saug
popular sougs. Tho Bookers are capital
acrobatic song and danco men and Davises
made plenty of fun in their Irish sketch.
Moore and Lcssinger aro Dutch comedians
of tho Morri; aud Fields style aud they
made a hit. Lamont and Duorow gave
their old act outitlcd "Tho Happy Hot
tentots," which has so otten been soon
here, ending it with au exhibition of high
kicking..! -Billy Bryant lectured on " Go-as-you
Please," but his make up was
funnier thau his spoch. The show closed
with "Hassaubad" which seemed to have
been put ou for tho purpose of exhibiting
Miss Hall. Somo of tho costumes were
pretty and others funny, but tho acting
amounted to nothing. Tho show would
uot suffer if the piece was taken out.

It Arrived Here 'fiiN Morning.
Tho Bantu m show arrived in this city
ou several trains at au early hour this
morning, aud tho huge touts wore pitched
in tho largo lioids on the Maloue farm
near tho park. Tho scene was lively at
tho place of exhibition and men were en
gaged up to noon unloading the car loads
of animals, tents, &c. Notwithstanding
tho threatening appearance of tho weather
tho crowd is very large in town. Country
people began pouring it at au early hour,
coming b) trains, in vehicles aud on foot.
Tho majority of the people gathered iu
Centre Square aud on tho first square of
tho main street. Thoy waited patiently
iu tho cold uutil tho parade put in an ap
pcarauco about eleven. It was probably
tho finest street exhibition given here, and
all that was advertised was seen.
There wero at least a half dozon open
cages of auimals, : dozen largo tableau
cars, twenty elephants, a large herd ol"
camels, ponies by the dozou, several bands
of different kinds, hundreds of handsomo
ly dressed people aud lots of other attrac
tions. Tho stock all looked well, and aro as fat
as moles. Jumbo, tho monster elephant,
being tho great attraction, was not seen in
tho parade, but ho is here. He was seen by
thousands at Harrisburg yesterday, and
ho is pronounced a wonderful animal. Tho
parade passed through but a few of the
streets, owing to tho bad weather, and a
great crowd followed it back to the
grounds. This afternoon tho first perform
ance is being given to an immense audi
