.Editors Lancaster Imxllmmckr.
JSnd Sirs : Do you think that Cameron
is behind Mr. Collins, our candidate for
state senator, of oar district? If bo, let
me know, for I will not support him should
it be so, and many other Democrats be
sides myself. Hon. Kauffman is going
through our district, and by his talk we
might understand that something was
wrong. Hare the kindness to let me know
and oblige yours,
Jacob H. Mace.
We have to say to our correspondent
that we do not think anything of the
kind. Mr. Collins is a lifelong Demo
crat of unblemished reputation, and very
fit for the nomination which has been
given him by the Democratic conven
tion of his district, every Democratic
vote in which should be cast for him.
There is no room at all for charging him
with being instigated in his candidacy
by Mr. Cameron, for, unless the Democ
racy of the district aro open to that
charge, certainly Mr. Collins is not. He
has been entrusted with their nomina
tion, and it is right that he should up
hold their nomination as long as they
desire it to be maintained. It is to be
presumed that their desire is that he
shall uphold it until the election. If
they desire otherwise they need to say so
through their representatives. If cir
cumstances have occurred since the
nomination of Mr. Collins which cause
the Democracy of his district to desire
his withdrawal from the canvass they
may express that desire through dele
gates chosen to declare it in a conven
tion called by the regular authority of
the party. Wo know of no other way in
which Mr. Collins may be ashed proper
ly to withdraw.
Our own opinion is that the Damoc
racy of the Northern district do not de
sire Mr. Collins' withdrawal. We do
not believe that there is anything in the
Independent Republican candidacy of
Mr. Kauffman to cause them to desire
Mr. Collins' withdrawal. Mr. Kauff
man is making his canvass as a Republi
can, and Mr. Stehman is making his as a
Republican. Just so are Mr. Stowart
and Mr. Beaver candidates for gov
ernor as Republicans. Mr. Iitlison is
a candidate as a Democrat. Mr. Collins
is a candidate as :i Demacrat. Mr. Col
lins has the same reason to maintain his
candidacy that Mr. Pattison has. Both
maintain it because they are Democratic
candidates for a political office. Mr. Pat
tison would remain as the Democratic
candidate, whatever his prospect of elec
tion. He holds in his hand the standard
of his parly and cannot lay it down.
Mr. Stewart is a fitter man for governor
than Mr. Reaver ; so also Mr. Kauffman
would make a better senator than Mr.
.Stehman ; but both are running us Re
publicans and neither has any claim for
Democratic support for the political
office of senator.
Mr. Kauffman wants Democratic
votes, no doubt, and it seems that he is
asking Democratic voters of his district
for their support because he is opposed
to Mr. Cameron. Rut the Democracy
are opposed both to Mr. Cameron's part
of the Republican party and to Mr.
Blaine's part ; and it is none of their
business to draw the chestnuts out of the
fire for either. There are a good many
time-serving people,whohaveno distinct
idea of political principles nor any sound
notions of the proper duties and respon
sibilities of political parties, who are dis
posed " to leap about and turn about
and jump Jim Crow " whenever they
see a chance to combine with anybody
or party or thing to secure a bone. The
editor of the Philadelphia Times is a
distinguished example of such political
acrobats. lie has no political moorings
and is always ready for an outing when
he thinks he can smell game anywhere
iu the field. He would have the Demo
crats of the northern district to vote for
Kauffman. It is his idea that Cameron
has a Democratic caudidate, as well as.
a Republican, in the district. He finds
that the " Cameron Democratic contin
gent that masquerades in the Lancaster
Democracy," aided by " a sprinkling of
Rourbon Democratic stupidity," has
caused the failure of a movement to put
Kauffman, instead of Collins, on
the Democratic senatorial ticket. Col.
McClure will never while lie lives bo
able to appreciate and understand a sim
ple straightforward course of political
action. Such seems to him to be stupid.
But it may be that it is not stupid to be
honest and to vote for principles and
candidates that you approve even if
you do not elect them. The man who
deserts his convictions because he is in
a minority is not the strong man nor the
worthy citizen.
SOTtewhat the Pabllc's Fault.
Another theatre has been destroyed by
fire, and it is again in order for the news
papers to talk about the necessity of
having fire-proof play houses. Many
times have theatres burned, and many
times has tr is been said. The necessity
of greater safety from fire in public
halls is apparent, but notwithstanding
we do not have them. The reason is that
the public does not demand them nor
the law require them. A theatre draws
no greater audience if it is well than if
it is ill built. People will pay nothing for
safety. If theatre managers found that
they profiled by the greater security of
their buildings they would make them
safe. They certainly can be builtso as to
run less danger from fire ;' but it cosis
a great deal more to so build them. The
people can protect themselves, but they
will not. The law, too, could protect
them, by requiring places of assembly to
be built safely ; but the people do not
seem to care enough about it to impress
such a demand upon their Legislatures.
The capitalists who build these halls
charge a rent that will compensate them
for the use of their money and that will
pay the cost of insurance. They have no
particular interest in so building as to
defeat fire ; for a fire is not their loss.
They could not get the additional rent
which a fire-proof erection would neces
sitate. If there was a demand for fire
proof buildings they would construct
them without the requirement of a law.
In Europe fires are very much less fre
quent than they are in this country.
European sentiment requires fire-proof
structures and they are built. There
are especial difficulties about securing
theatres from the flames and probably it
is impracticable to make them entirely
safe ; but it is not impossible to prevent
them burning down in a moment, as this
last New York tinder box was burned ;
if indestructible materials were used
wherever possible there would be at least
time given for the audience to get out of
danger. When people conclude that it
is better to stay out of theatres than to
enter them at the the cost of their lives,
theatre managers will find it expedient
to demand fire-proof structures and
theatre owners will provide them. The
public will have to pay the additional
cost of the security they require,but there
should be no hesitation in paying for
safety in our amusements.
It was a magnificent reception the
Democracy of Lancaster accorded Con
troller Pattison, and it will go down in
the political history of the city as one of
the most remarkable demonstrations of
the kind everwitnessed here. Such artout
burstof popular feeling tells the direction
in which the current is running that is
to sweep over the state next week. The
speeches of Mr. Pattison and the other
gentlemen who addressed the listen
ing multitude in the court house
are in the same vein that has
distinguished all the Democratic ut
terances upon the stump iu this campaign
They are bold and aggressive. They
present the issues involved in this strug
gle in a clear and forcible manner, and
no one who heard them or reads the ac
counts as furnished in our columns to
day, and then compares them with Mr.
Pattison's course in the Philadelphia
tonlroller's office, need feel any doubt as
to just what will happen when the
brave young reformer shall be called up
higher.
Victoisy was iii tho air last night.
Last night's meeting was tho grandest
of them all.
Tin: trumpet call to aims was heard
along the lino last night and the echoes of
tho response have not yet died away.
Tuny have elected a circus rider to tho
Italian Parliament. Hut then it is no un
common thing iu this country to elect men
who can rido ssveral horses at once.
"I'm not making any predictions," said
Democratic Chairman HonscI yesterday :
"bat I'll he vory glad to sea my friends
on November 8."'
Tin: enthusiasm manifested by Lancas
ter's Democracy last night will only bo
surpassed next Tuesday when tho news
comes that proclaims Pattison's election.
Those fellows who have been sitting on
the fence had bolter get down pretty sud
den. After such an indication of popular
sentiment as that afforded by last night's
demonstration they shouldn't longer
question which way the cat's going to
jump. Lancaster's greeting (o the next
governor was simply a specimen of what
they have been doing all over the state.
It is claimed that Governor Iloyt sym
pathizes with Reaver in his present hope
less struggle. But even this small boon is
denied him. An interview reported in
the llarrisburg Patriot represents tho gov
ernor as saying : "No man can preserve
his self-respect and submit to the methods
of a national administration whose princi
pal business is office-brokerage." As
Beaver represents the administration
which Iloyt condemns, the logical infer
ence is that Iloyt is not for Beaver.
Tin: Republican campaign clubs of
West Chester, whose hue marching and
manly bearing evoked much favorable
comment on their visit to this city, aro
showing that they aro wise in their gene
ration. They are taking advantage of
every opportunity to parade that presents
itself. This is prudent and commendable,
for but few days remain in which they
can exhibit their pretty uniforms. It is
bayond peradvouture that thoy will not bo
given a chance to parade aftor the elec
tion, unless they join the Pattison cohort.

A Colored Mariner Who Found His Sweet
heart Faithless on ller Wedding Eve.
A colored sailor, bearing the Scandina
vian name of Hans Jorgcnsen, stung by
the perfidy of the girl who was to be his
bride, made an attempt to blow out his
brains in a second story J room of 500
Hurst street, in Philadelphia, about eleven
o'clock yesterday, but succeeded only in
putting a bnilet in his right ear. Jorgcnsen
is about 0 years old and a native of tho
Island of St. Thomas, in thn West Indies.
Ho had been in port for several months.
His betrothed was Georgianna Minus, a
lemon-colored girl. lie had spent
aboout $350 in furnishing a room and
buying an outlit for the bride, and the wed
ding ceremony was to bo performed last
evening. .Torgenseu discovered several
daysjigo that Georgianna was faithless
and that his rival was a charcoal-visagcd
individual, called William Leutens, in
whoso company he found her on Saturday
night last. Mrs. Miuus,tho girl's mother,
and her son Jacob, a lad visited Jorgensen
on Monday night. He had a pistol and
threatened to kill tho whole Minus crowd
and Leutens. Thomas Parten, colored,
whose family live on the lirst floor of 500
Hurst street, prevented bloodshed. Yes
terday morning Jorgenson split up the fur
niture, smashed up the pictures, tore up
Gcorgianua's dresses and behaved like a
wild roan. About 11 o'clock four pistol
shots were heard, and Jorgenson was
found on tho floor with blood running
from his right ear. Ho was taken to the
Pennsylvania hospital.

Desperate Fight With a Uear.
William Porontcau, superintendent of
the Grinuell mine, Col., while hunting
near tho head of Mammoth Gulch, was
attacked by a huge bear. Ho succeeded
in killing tho bear with his knife, but not
until the bear had torn him in a frightful
manner. His noso was torn out by tho
roots. It is thought he cannot recover.

Christine Nilsson said to a reporter that
a large case, containing her operatic cos

cried : " Go back and tell him, by St.
George, I'll unfrock him." So too, shall
it be with the disobedient servants who
have so long disregarded the voico of the
people.
I'attlsou'd Stewardship.
Never has there been such spontaneous
ovations as that which has everywhere
greeted tho standard bearer of tho party,
Kobcrt E. Pattison. I wish to draw a
briei parallel between tho two men who
are now before the people asking their
suffrages. I speak not only to the Demo
cracy "but also to tho earnest Republicans
who are in search of truth. During the
five years of Controller Pattison's admin
istration of the finances of Philadelphia,
the decrease of the city's debt amounted
to $5,000,000, while the decrease in tho
annual expenditures reached the enor
mous sum of $1,500,000. Tho tax
rato fell from $2.25 to $1.S5, for
every $100 of valuation, and there
now remains after all expenses $2,000,000
iu the city treasury. Comparo with this
stainless record Beaver's betrayal of his
constituents at Chicago. Ho was elected
a delegate to represent tho wishes of a
people who were almost a unit iu their
support of a certain man for tho presi
dency. He knew the sentiments of the
people who had elected him to voico their
feelings, and yet he deliberate!' violated
their known wishes and voted for a third
term for General Grant. And tho voice
oftheso same psoplo whom ho then bo
trayed is now loudest .iu his condemna
tion. lJeaver as an Executive Ofllcer.
When first I took my seat in tho
Senate of tho stato in January, 1SS0,
a repoit from a committco of inves
tigation of the conduct of tho State
ArieuitiiKil eollege was submitted iu
which Geiie:;tl Beaver was gravely ecu
sured for his extravagant and profligate
mismanagement. Since that time and in
anticipation of his nomination another
committee of investigation was appointed,
but that committco will not report until
after tho election. HU friends on that
committee do not wi"h to expose his short
comings totho people. He has been twice
tried and found wanting. Shall ho be
given auother chauco to provo his inca
pacity? Cries of "No, No." Who
ever heard of a committee passiug on the
work of Controller Pattison ? He needs
no cestilicates. Tho 25,000 Republicans
who voted for him in 1SS0 in the heat of a
picsidential campaign is his sufficient
guarantee.
Outol UllOun Mouth.
As our distinguished candidate for
governor has said "By their fruits ye
shall know them," so I also
say. " Out of his own mouth
will 1 condemn him." Last Satur
day night three weeks ago, a speech was
written by General Beaver and printed in
the Philadelphia Press, which was never
delivered. Written as it was it expresses
tho candidates, real convictions, and in
that speech, with a degree of franknoss
that is commendable, he in substance
domes tho necessity of reform in our state
government. He is willing to let well
enough alone. Ho is willing to permit the
Senate Librarian Delauey to persist in
his efforts to debauch tho ballot inLu.ornc
and Lackawanna counties. To let a ma
chine depcudeut remain in tho Record
er's ofiico, an office framed to pension off
politicians, at an annual cost to the people
of $50,000. To lot the delinquent tax
ofiico remain iu existence and tho legisla
tive rolls bo filled with tho names of men
who never earned an honest dollar from
tho government.
Tho Republican candidate speaks of
semi-confidences which forbid comment.
Docs ho refer to tho somi-confidencus im
parted to hitn by Cooper when they at
tended church together at Media ? Or to
tho semi-confidences with M. S. Quay
concerning tho iniquitous Recorder's
ofiico :' Uufoituuato man, whoso confi
dences will not bear the clear light of day.
Our caudidate needs no such screen. Ho
tells you what reforms he will inaugurate
if you honor him with your suffrages.
" Out of his own mouth will I condemn
him."
Every whero that our standard-bearer
has gone, crowds such as I sec hero to
night have flocked to sco him. His re
generation of Philadelphia is a sufficient
guarautco that when elected he will redeem
tho state. Will you try General Beaver a
third time when ho has been twice found
wanting? With Pattison as governor the
rogues will fly from Capitol Hill as they
did from Philadelphia. lie will moot all
our expectations, lift us from tho slough
of bossism, and restore to its ancient
purity tho shield of our state with its
grand old legend : " Virtue, Liberty and
Independence."
ulr. Heusel's Speech.
Loud and continued calls were then
made for Mr. Ilensel, who, upon being
introduced by the chairman, spoke as fol
lows : I confess to au unexpected feeling
of elation in finding myself- in this situa
tion. I feel to-night as ouo who comes
home, and, after long months of labor
in giving to the campaign in all parts of
the state my best efforts, I feci that no
portion or people of Pennsylvania can
hold so near aud dear a place to my heart
as the city and Democracy of Lancaster.
Yet as I stand here, I am not unmindful
of a sonse of shame that I should bo com
pelled hero to opposo tho official dishon
esty of our old antagonists.
They mako a great mistake, who sup
pose that this contest is to ba won by the
corrupt devices used heretofore ; it is to
be achieved by tho ballot, and not by
peculation, by bossism, or by the fraudu
lent issue of tax receipts. Tho cam
paign has awakened tho thoughts
of tho people. From all that
I havo been able to observe, the citi
zens of Pennsylvania aro considering with
great gravity and dignity the questions
before them. AVith this fact in view wo
need havo no fear of what tho verdict will
be. Notwithstanding tho efforts of tho
bosses tho sober, second thoughts of the
people have held them to tho main issue
to the qucstiou whether the people shall
have honest ordishonest government and
their decision will soon bo heard.
It takes to-day four times as
much to run our penitentiaries
as it did twenty years ago and the
services might be Aheap enough
if we had tho right peoplo iu
them. In public service there aro now
nearly fivo times as many offices as are
needed, and a causeless increase of expenses
has been the result. While the farmer,
tho mechanic, and the minor can scarcely,
with all their efforts, make $2 a day, un -necessary
public officials in the Republi
can party get $C a day and ronder tho
state no service. Thoro is scarcely a
branch of public ofiico the duties of which
are not executed by more officials than are
required, and ten times the amount of
labor is made than is needed, while the
expenses of tho state government havo
leaped up to 100 per cent, when but 10
per cent, is amply sufficient. Against tho
oft repeated charge that tho Democratic
party would effect; no reform after they
bad secured power, Mr. Ilensel cited tho
municipal reform of Philadelphia, as
an instance in this state, which
is now under Democratic officials.
latt;ourf Government.
Tho people of Philadelphia elected
a Democrat for controller who was
more of a stranger to them then than he
is to tho people of the state to-day ; he
camo into that office entirely unknown,
but ho made himself soou known and felt.
It had come to be the practice to adminis
ter the government of Philadelphia, not
by honesty and efficiency, but by addition,
multiplication and silence. The applica
tion of Mr. Pattison's rules stopped these
shameful wrougs and swelled his majority
to l:J,000 in his election to a second term
and at a time when a Republican president
was elected to office, and now, after six
years of his direction, the expenses of the
city, instead of going up three millions
aud a-half, have lessened even more, taxes
have been reduced.and there is to-day $500,
000 in the treasury ready to meet all honest
demands. They say that. this is merely
good book-keeping ; I say that it is good
housekeeping. Six years ago there was
in every department of Philadelphia pecu
lation aud every wrong imaginable was com
mitted. The exposure of these disgraceful
deeds has been relentlessly made. As au
instance of this the speaker cited the alms
house, and the stealings and escape of Mr.
Phipps, who, he said, after taking articles
of every value, stole the roof off the alms
house, and had actually been getting ready
to steal the collar, too. Laughter. 1 You
laugh, yet 1 am certain you will not have
these wrongs continued, aud if you do
your duty, tho prisons will bo ciowded
with Major Phippses. A voice : "They'll
get the toothache." .Mr. Ilensel then
spoke of the efforts of the bosses to perpet
uato thoir powor, and demonstrated how
inconsistent Gen. Heaver is in his utter
ances and actions.
Tho Republican candidate for governor
has gone all ovor tho stato, he has attend
ed political meetings and church fairs, has
shown himself in Sunday schools and
county fairs ; in short, he has been au in
defatigablo traveller, and yet wo have tho
lirst time to hear of him supporting any
portion of the Republican platform.
Iu severe terms Mr. Heusol ar
raigned tho inconsistency of General
Beaver aud the evils committed by tho
bosses, and said, nowhere, at any time
has Gcuoral Beaver dared to raise his
voico to redeem tho plodgcs ho made at
tho outset of tbo present campaign. And
though he was justly hoiificd lor losing a
leg in the war.ir. would have been far better
if lie would not havo lost his honor iu
Chicago. Mr. Ilensel then .-poke of this
part tho Democrats had taken in tiie war
of the rebellion, showed how unju-t was
the asset tiou made by Republicans that
they alono saved tho nation, and said that
when in that great timo of danger jteoplo
did not staud on tho corner as soldiers
hied past and pointing with linger of
scorn, say "that fellow is a copperhead,'
No ; you did not hear it then, and you
should not hear it now.
Itrlght l'rospcclH.
The people of this state havo long suf
fered tho ills of bad government, and they
want a governor who will not tako his
orders from tho bosses. Tho bosses have
heretofore controlling tho elections of this
state, but this yoar 400,00!) Democrats
and 100,000 Independent Republican are
going to have something to say about
them. The speaker then showed how in
significant was the capital made out of the
charges against Mr. Pattison of being
young, of having been born, without his
connivance, outside tha stato, and of hav
ing no executive ability. Ilo character
ized any change, mado no matter by
whom, against the character and actions
of tho gentlemen on tho Democratic ticket
as wholly false and vindictive. Mr. Ilensel
then closed his speech, which at frequent
intervals was punctuated with great ap
plause, by assuring tho Democracy that
tho prospects for succoss were most en
couraging, urged tho Democrats of Lan
caster county and city to turn out in force
on election day, and asserted that it is
only a question of Democratic majority,
as Mr. Pattison's ejection is most cer
tain. Itlr, iarrig-iti .!. !;.
Tho final speech of the evening was
made by C. M. drrigan, esq., of Phila
delphia. Ilo said : I never pass by Lan
caster or come within its corporate limits
without lifting my hut almost involunta
rily iu memory of" tho illustrious dead who
lie buried here. It gives mo great pleas
ure to meet tho gallant Democracy of this
city, for no Democrat's aro more worthy
of the name than thoso who reside in mi
nority counties. This magnificent reccp
tion is but a repetition of what has been
going on from one end of tho stato to tho
other. The people aro arising in their
might to detiuouo tho bosses who have so
long fattened 0:1 their ill-gotten spoils. Wo
need have no fears that the man who has
1 exonerated Philadelphia will not bo equal
to the task of saving tho honor of our
grand old state. I know not by what
tricks the opposition aro claiming their
candidate's success, unless it ba in the wiy
in which a committco reported tho wash
ing away of a mill iu a Connecticut town.
The committee reported that " they had
found tho dam by tho mill site, but not

mined to drive tho bosses from the
temples of powor. From every portion of
tho stato our candidate has bean given
God-speed. The remarkable enthusiasm
with which ho has been received recalls
tho days when Jackson was president, and
Simon Snyder, the Democratic governor of
Pennsylvania. All is well with tho Demo
cratic party, not so, however, with our
Republican friends. They already see tho
handwriting on the wall, and like Bel-
shazzar they havo neglected repeated

of Independence and tho Federal Constitu

November noxt, plant tho standard of
reform on tho citadel of tho state, and
carry into tho gubernatorial chair tho
young man whom wo havo brought from
Philadelphia.
At the termination of Mr. Carrigan's
remarks the meeting broke up with
tumultous cheers for Pattison and tho
whole ticket. Subsequently there was a
reception at tho Heistcr house, which was
tho hoadquaJtcrs of tho party, ami to
which tho peoplo flocked by hundreds
and kept Mr. Pattison busy shaking
hands for over an hour. Tho City band,
tho Quarryvillo band and the Good Will
(colored) band kept playing almost oon
stautly and the excitement on tho streets
continued until long after midnight.
A notable feature of tho occasion was
the presence of a largo number of people
from the rural districts, all of whom re
ported tho same intense enthusiasm and
party loyalty as was so unmistakably
shown by tho city Democrats.
During tho evening a magnificent floral
horseshoe was presented to Mr. Pattison.
It was a beautiful tribute aud received by
tho caudidate with manifest pleasure.
Controller Pattison and party returned
to Philadelphia at 5 o'clock this morning.

A MOTHER'S CRIMES.
HOKKIU DEED Of A tUAZV WOMAN.
The Wire of a Prominent New iorfc rtijsl

Mrs. Soguin, aged 20 years, the wife of
Dr. Edward C. Seguiu, a noted specialist
on diseases of tho brain, shot and killed
her three young children aud theu killed
herself at No. -11 West Twentieth street,
New York. There is no other cause kuown
for the terrible act thau insanity in tho
mother. Tho children were Edward D.,
aged (J years ; John Van Duyau. aged 5
years, and Jeannctte, aged 4 years. They
were all shot through the head and killed.
The mother's death was as sudden aud
probably as painless as theirs.
Tho frightful feature of tho tragedy is
the tnauner of the murder. Mrs. Seguin
took the children to an empty spare room,
at the top of tho five-story house, in tho
absenco of her husband and when the
servants were engaged in the basement,
and locked herself in with them. Tho
servants behoved they had gone out for a
walk. What happened in the room will
never bo known, but when Dr. Amidon,
Mrs. Seguin'8 brother, called at 5 o'clock,
aud with his suspicions aroused at tbo
long absenco of tho family made a search
of tho house, mother and children wero
found dead, all shot through tho head
Tho chiWren's bands wero tied behind
their backs with whipcord ; they were
blindfolded with handkerchiefs anil from
all appearances thoy must have been shot
while playing " blindmen's buff " with
their destroyer. They had been dead for
at least an hour and a half and were quite
cold. Three pistols were found in tbo
room, all of largo callibre, and all had
been used.
It is in evidence that Mis. Seguin had
been despondent from phys:e:vt causes for
home time, but she had shown no symp
toms of insanity. Sho was a small, slim
tvomau of nervous tempei.iment. ller
domestic life was very happy, ami there
was no family trouble. Dr. Seguiu 10
turned homo about 7 o'clock, and upon
hearing tho dreadful news was utterly
prostrated. Ho is in a state of great men
tal distress and under tho care of a phvsi-
ciau. His wife was tho daughter ot a
Massachusetts farmer. 1 be couple moved
in tho best society. 1 ho family occupied
a five-story brown stone house, elegantly
furnished.
Tho three servants in the house noticed
during tho day that Mrs. Seguin was
moody. She had for several weeks boon
in a condition which her brother, Dr.
Amidon, termed " tho blues."
