A ClCUd Of LiCS.
The Stalwart managers of tins cam
paign liave fought u losing battle with
out principle and without conscience.
They have uniformly acted in serene
obliviousness of the fact that their in
vantions and misstatements were cer
tain to be exposed ; in fact, the conduct
of Cooper, Quay and company in this
respect has at limes been grotesque in
is sibsurdity. One mizht have supposed
that they looked upon the teople as a lot
of feeble-minded children and regarded
the editors of the Independent and Dem
ocratic press as born fools. From the
beginning of the contest there has been
no attempt to meet squarely, honestlj
and fearlessly, the vital issues of the
hour, but, on the contrary, a studied and
persistent effort, aswe have before said,
in referring to General Beaver's humil
iating part in this disreputable work, to
confuse and mislead the public mind and
to betray the people once more into the
hands of their enemies.
The Harrisburg convention of Ma
10th was i:i itself a shameless swin
dle. It pretended to have come
from the Republican party and faiily to
rprcseut it, when it was the creation
a id the creature of the bosses. It ap
parently broke away from the control of
itsmastcr at the close, yet, as was after
wards discovered, the nomination of
Marshall was largely the scheming work
of confidential agents of Mr. Cameron,
who openly and heartily approved of
what had been done in his interest.
Fearing that the veteran Allegheny In
dependent would not remain a captive of
the machine against which he had
warred for twenty-live years, the bosses
and their organs vied witli each other in
manifestly insincere and treacherous
praise of the uncertain candidate. Now
these same men and journals find lan
guage inadequate to characterize the
persona! and political villainy of Mar
shall, it has; been the essence of false
hood in both cases ; first, in lauding the
man whom they feared and only in
tended to use and afterwards betray,
and next in accusing him of political
crime.
When the Independent Republican
ticket was put in the field, the flood-gates
of misrepresentation and abuse were
opened upon it and its champions. Scores
of damaging statements, if true, have
gone forth to the country about Mr.
Stewart, for instance, yet not one of
them has had the desired effect, simply
because all were quickly shown to be
utterly false. No Democratic candidate
for governor in the hisjory of Pennsyl
vania was ever so stupidly and persist
ently maligned as Mr. Pattison. The
machine has sunk so low that it would
seem to be really incapable of telling the
truth, either about its own candidates or
their opponents. Beginning with the
absurd invention about Mr. Pattison's
" rebel sympathies " (at the age of six
years), Mr. Cooper and his newspapt r
echoes have continued from bad to wor.s
in the contemptible work of downright
misrepresentation. They have not only
refused to Jet Mr. Pattison speak for
himself t the readers of Stalwart
papers, but have deliberately perverted
his public utterances andahanu-lesslylied
about the manner of his reception by the
people and hi regard to the popular effect
of his addresses. This was notably so
at Hariisburg, where the demoralized
organ of the. bosses became possessed of
an evil spirit and fairly out-did itself
in disgraceful, ia'ehood, while it char
acteristically refused to print a line of
what the Democratic candidate said. It
has been the same with regard to the
machine's attempt to self-justification.
It has uniformly made false pleas anil
endeavored to bolster itself up with
statements grossly at variance with the
facts. And it keeps up this courso with
an effrontery that is amazing. The
Stalwart managers know that as certain
as two and two make four, Beaver is
hopelessly beaten, yet they brazenly
predict his electjpn and belittle the In
dependent movement, just as they did
five months ago. The moral of it all is
that the machine has lost its head. It
has, in fact, butted its brains out against
the iron wall of popular revolt. It has
not even sense enough left to know that
honesty, decency and truthfulness pay in
conducting a political campaign.
Mn. MacVeagh wonders that Mr.
Blaine should urge all his friends to vote
tor Mr. Bosler, since Mr. Bosler has been
shown to be a partner of Dorsey in Star
Route contracts, which yielded large
profits that were illegitimately obtained
from the government. Mr. Bosler is a
man of great wealth, that he has accu
mulated as a government contractor. It
is no discredit to him that he should lir.ve
made his money off the nation if he
gave it value for what he received. But
it is discreditable to him that he .should
be shown to be in association with those
who got their money without render
iug an equivalent and got it in uu
lawful ways. Mr. Bosler has the good
fortune to be befriended both by Cam
eron and Blaine. The tie between
the two is doubtless the common
and effective one of cash. Mr.
Bosler, Cameron father and Cam
eron son, and Mr. Blaine are all
rich, and have all made their money di
rectly and indirectly off of the govern
ment. None of them are scrupulous
about bow they provide 1 or themselves
or their friends, the prime necessity is
that they shall be well provided for.
They regard their fellow-citizens as their
prey, upon whom they may feast, and
mere distress affects them not, so that
they are merry. Theyfprovide for their
friends as the best method of strenthen
ing themselves. They run together
wherever they can go without their in
terests conflicting. Mr. Blaine finds no
obstacle to his helping his friend Bosler,
in the fact that Bosler wiil vote for
Cameron for the Senate, Cameron not
being particularly in Blaine's way in
that place. Bosler stands ready to help
Blaine when lie can and Cameron when
he can. They are all birds of one feather;
and of that a kind of plumage that is
particularly obnoxious to the general
public, The voters of liis district, who
are yeiihiblu enough to know a hawk
from a handsaw, will not be likely to help
Mr. Bosler to go to the Senate.
Gov. Blackburx, of Kentucky, is
the right sort of governor, ne sees that
the law is respected by mobs. A Ker.
tuckymobwas determined to take twol
men, charged with murder, out of the
hands of the officers of the law while
they were being taken to another county
for trial. The governor sent the state
troops to aid the law officers. The mob
came out in a boat to attack them as
they passed down the Ohio river In a
steamer. The officers of the law were
fired upon and they returned the fire,
wounding and killing some of those who
assailed them and others in the crowd or
those who had assembled to witness the
conflict, if not to aid in it. Peaceable
citizens ought not to have been in the
vicinity of the danger, and their suffer
ing, though, unfortunate, was by their
own fault.
"We are delighted to note this one case
where the executive of a state has had
the nerve to shed the blood of a mob to
maintain the law. Every man who un
dertakes to execute mob law deserves
to be killed, and we have no sympathy
for him if he meets.) hi.s fate. The
lynch law of ttse country is one
of its' greatest disgraces. Pennsylvania
even has lately been disgraced by it, and
no attempt has been made to punish
those engaged in the scandalous crime
in the Lehigh Valley.
Governor Blackburn declared that he
would execute the order made upon him
by the judge for tho delivery for trial of
these prisoners if every man, woman and
child in. the country whence they were
to be taken was killed in the attempt ;
and that is the kind of a governor for
us. Not one like our own governor,
Iloyt, who, estimable in many respects,
demonstrated his lack of nerve and en
ergy as the proper executive of our great
stale.
It has been pull dick,' pull devil be
tween the Republican factors over Iloyt's
political remains, with the odds in favor
of the Independents, who have practi
cally come out ahead apparently, inas
much as Mr. Cameron's personal news
paper organ at the state capitol has
"jumped on'' the governor with its ac
customed ferocity, although it has since
made a feeble attempt to " take it all
back." Iloyt's alliance with the anti
Cameron party is only a question of time.
All his sympathies are with the Inde
pendents ; nearly all his old friends are
now against the bosses and the governor
has his full share of grievances. He will
go with the crowd presently
Mn. AttTHun's secretary of the navy,
Boss Chandler, is having a hard timo in
trying to make the senatorial landing in
New Hampshire. The Republicans of
the Granite slate only have a margin of
about 1,000 to work on in the best of
times, and in the present .light fully half
that number aro openly in rebellion
against the pairy machine, with their
strength daily increasing. The Demo
cratic candidate for governor, Hon.
Martin Van Btiren Edgerly, is very pop
ular with l lift people nnd the prospect of
his cutclion in very good. The Demo
crats have not ivrritvi New Hampshire
shire before .(. war The t ide is all one
wav.
Tiik agents ol the English bond hold
ers of the New York, Pennsylvania &
Ohio railroad company, which is, we.be
lieve, the moie familiarly known by its
old name of the Atlantic & Great "West
ern, have reported that "of 72,500,000
by which the capital has beeu increased
siucelSTO, they could only trace $8,o00,(KP
which by any possibility could haHl
added to the value of the property, the
remainder having been consumed in bo
nuses, discounts, capitalized interest and
every other variety of. financial device
for meeting liabilities by increasing the
amount of the indebtedness." What a
showing !
Tiik Rcamincr don't seem to have
heard of Beaver's fatal Manhcim con
fession. It has not forgotten the pain
ful result of its frantic efforts to get the
machine candidate out of the " cringing
hypocrites'' hole.
We will wager something handsome
that it will be a long timebeforeGeneral
Beaver makes another campaign tour in
Lancaster county. The pure air of this
region don't agree with the candidates
of the machine.
A vote for
Pattison is a vote to
re-
buko federal
' bossism " in the state.
A voti: for Pattison is a vote to eman
cipate tho state government from tho con
trol of any political " machine."
Bki:cni:us withdrawal from tho Har
risburg Telegraplt is a sign of tho times.
He knows tho days of tho capitol ring aro
numbered.
Stkaws show which way tbo wind is
blowing. Do you soo how they are bet
ting in Philadelphia '.' The habitues of
the pool room hefc to wiu not for blus
ter. TiiKDemuciacy of Lancaster did thetu
selves proud when Pattison was their
guest. Let u.s prepare to give hini'the
biggcet vote any Democrat candidate ever
received in this city.
Fkom now until tho polls close on Tuef
day night the effort of every Democrat
should be to get out the vote. Remember
that our enemies aro alert and active in
their desperation, and will omit no point
looking to gathering a stray ballot.
A vote for Pattison is a voto to hasten
" the good time coming," when public
affairs will bo administered on tho same
priuciples of honesty, ability and fidelity
which prevail in the management of pri
vate business. Pattison's record as con
troller is the sure promise of this.
Roukut E. Pattison will be 33 years of
age on tho eighth of November, the day
after election. The people are .preparing
to give him a nianilicentbirthdayprcsent
in hi.- election to tho governorship of Pcnu
sqlvania by such a majority as no candi
date for the office ever received before.
EvEBYTiiiMt indicates that next Tues-
day will witness the biggest political
wash-out this country has seen for twenty
two years. The Democracy struck on the
rock in 1860, and in 1S32 the old Republi
can ship is bumping itself to pieces amid
the breakers of factional bitterness and
hatred. History repeats itself.
Sixce Pattison lias been among the
people tbo Stalwart organs havo ceased to
get off ibeir silly twaddle about his in
ability to discuss public questions. Es
pecially do they avoid making any com
parisons between his speeches and of those
of Beaver. In this case comparisons are,
indeed odious to the bosses and their
bandi capped candidate.
Tim Stalwarts are clinging in despera
tion to the exploded notion that the Labor
vote and tho Democratic disaffection in
that direction will more than counterbal
ance tho revolt in their own party and
save Beaver. Our Stalwart friends, if
they aro counting upon a repetition of tho
gamo of 1878, should bear in mind tho
old adage that burnt powder can't be
used the secoud time.
A vote for Pattison
which every good citizen
is a vote upon
can go to Bleep
on election night with a well satisfied
conscience after casting it. It is a votefora
clean handed man, who owes his nomina
tion to no bargains or deals, who has no
bosses behind him, and is under no
pledges, express or implied, to hamper
him from doing his full duty to the public
as chief magistrate of the state.
" Why don't you take Editor Smith's
advice, " unload" Cameron, and go for
Beaver on his owu merits?" said Mr.
Eby to General Beaver. ' J would rather
not be governor than do that " responded
Cameron's candidate. Do tho freemon of
Pennsylvania wish to place in tho execu
tive chair a man who thus proudly pro
claims his subservience to James Donald
Cameron ?
Alt. tho kiuks have been got out of
the senatorial districts, and tho Demo
crats are certain to hold their own. It is
probable that they will mako a net gain of
several members. Thomas (Ducks),
Rambo (Montgomery), McNeill (Alle
gheny) aud Hughes (8th Philadelphia),
Republican candidates, are almost certain
to be defeated, while Stehman's chances
aro not very good.
Let every honest citizen, irrespective o f
party, remember that tho opportunity now
presented to strike down tho corrupt com
bination which has so long misruled and
plundered Pauusylvauii is ouo that has
not been presented to the people of the
stato before undor such favorablo circum
stances. Pattison's voto ouzht to exceed
anything over given to a candidate for
governor. Let us crush tho machine to
powder.
"Wayne MacVeao ii thinks Dlaino eulo
gized IJoblcr, the Cameron caudidato in
tho 32d senatorial district, upon impnlso
and without proper reflection, lie further
states that Star Route testimony develo
ped tho fact that Bosler was Dorsoy's
partner, and that they woro receiving
from a single route No. 40,101 at tho
rate of $24,000 per annum, without a pre
tence of doing anything whatever to cava
it. Men are usually known by the com
pany they ke.jp, and time may provj that
it would havo bjon better for tho famous
ludian-beei aud mail-route contractor to
havo remained iu his former obscurity
rather than exhibit his shortcomings to a
scrutinizing public
Bkavek's attempted denial of tho re
mark attributed ro bim in reference to
unloading Cameron " I would rather not
bo governor than do that," has not punned
out very well. Mr. J. Z. Eby, tho in
formant, in a card just published, " un
hesitatingly reaffirms that in all essen
tial points it (the A'eis Bra's report ) was
substantially correct." That these are
Beaver's real sentiments no unprejudiced
man with the smallest modicum of com
mon mjiisb will deny. In Philadelphia a
few nights siuco he said that Tc is just
as dishonorable to plcdgo oneself against
a man as it would be to plcdgo oneself for
him," which in plain English means that
he is too cowardly to declare his independ
ence of Cameron. ILs asserts that ho has
made no plcdgo to a living man if bo is
elected. But Don Cameron ncods no
formal assurance from tho man who bo
trayed his constituents at Chicago to do
his bidding.

SELECTING A BABY.
THEATRE MAXAUEB IN A QlAKDAKY
now Uie Younsest Member ol a Dramatic
Company Was engaged Babies ot
Every Variety Innpectea
Philadelphia Jtoconl.
Henry Bergman, stage manages of the
" Hearts of Oak" company, walked
briskly through the entrance to tho Wal
nut street theatre stage in Philadelphia.
Thirty mothers arose as he entered, and
thirty sucking babies were thrust under
his nose, and before ho could escape a
score of baby hands were pulling at his
hair and whiskers aud a pair of tiny lists
were thrust into his eyes, " It was tho
most ourious amotion I every experi
enced," said he afterward. "I felt like a
Mormon returning home after a long ab
sence" The trouble was that Mr. Bergman had
advertised iu a morning paper for a baby
to go on the stajjo as a member of the
" Hearts of Oak " company. He had
specified that tho youngster should be
" not over 4 months old, good natured
and accustomed to handling." The
mother was to bs guaranteed a handsome
salary aud expenses to go along aud take
care of the infant. '.' My gracious !" he
exclaimed to a Record reporter who had
been watching from the wings his curious
reception, " it's like advertising for a dog,
ain't it ?" and he caught his breath
quickly as he combed out his tangled
whiskers and prepared to go back and
select tho best looking and most docile
baby in tho lot. Ho certainly had
a varioty to choso from. Tiio usher
gave tho mothers chairs and they
sat in a, row arouud tho stago like
a company of female minstrels. Tho man
ager glanced arouud the semi-circlo and
his eye halted at the chair where a very
young woman sat. "It's a little fat," he
remarked aside referring to the baby
which tho mother hold up with its feet on
her lap and he went over and took it
from tho mother's arms. The manager
tossed it up in tho air. The mother
screamed. Tho baby gave a vigorous
shriek as it was caught iu the manager's
arms. Ho tried to soothe it, but it. was
no go. The infant set up a yell, and, as
if sympathizing with it, a half-dozen
other babies began to ory. Such a noise,
probably, tho old Walnut never heard be
fore. Tho mother finally got hold of her
offspring aud soothed it in a way which
only a mother can. Tho manager retreated
and inspected himself dismally. "I don't
want that youngster," he remarked con
tidentially, as he mopped his .face with a
handkerchief.
One of two redheaded infants next
attracted his attention. He nearly drop
ped it on the floor, and the frightened
mother snatched it from his arms and
said that she didn't propose to havo her
baby killed, even for $25 a week. He
thereupon marched off the stage and
watched the proceedings from aa orches
tra chair. By this time several of tho
youngsters were yelling with all their
might and had to hi sent away. Mr.
Bergman was finally penned iu ono corner
of the stage by five or six anxious mothers
who in.si.sied that ho should try thcir's
next. Ho fondled several of them
( the babies, not tho women), and threw
them up iu tho air. Somo of them
behaved well, others kicked aud
cried; some of thorn were too heavy, others
were too small. Oho had no hair at all,
and that wouldn't do. Tho manager math
no comments, however, to tho inothc.s
When he had gotten through with them
all he dismissed the mothers, lcquestin
them to return to day at 11 o'clock, when
he would make a final choico When they
had ail gone away acu tho puzzled mana
ger and tho reporter weio about to leave
tho thsatio a modest little woman who had
beeu hidden in tho flies came timidly for
ward, and, holding but as pretty a baby as
could be found in a week's jonrnoy, will,
timidly : "Please, sir, sco if we dou't do."
The manager looked at the baby ; then he
glanced at the mother. The inspection
seemed to satisfy him, ahd he held out his
arms for tho baby. "Dou't hurt ir, please,"
pleaded the mother as sho relinquished the
precious biu den to his ;:rniK. The mana
ger sat down ou a chair and toddled tho
youngster on his knee. It crowed good
ualuredly aud mbbed its litMu list in his
face He tossed it up and it laughed. Then
he gave it a stick of candy ono of the
stige tricks and the baby was delighted,
and, clutching the sweetmeat in its lingers,
thiust one end in its mouth aud blinked
over toward its mother. "That baby fills
the bill," exclaimed the mauagor. "If it
stands the test of tho stago we will take
r"
The mother was sent away with a re
quest to leturu iu time for tho evening
performance, and walked off iu triumph
with her baby. " You see," said the
manager, " the baby which we now use iu
; Hearts of Oak ' has grown too large. It
was engaged in Boston last winter, and
has been a great success, but it's too big
now, and beside., tho mother wants to go
home ; so we must get another."
" What's tho baby woilh to you '."
" Well, it's a pretty big caul. Wo pay
823 a week to the mother and her expenses
as well as those of tho infaut. We mado
a great hit by introducing tha baby. In
St. Louis, last ser.sou, it created a decided t
sensation. Many people said that it was
uot a real baby because it, was so good, j
uiiu usib iu me aiuuuui oi 9uu weremauo
that tho kid was stuffed. The gentlemen
who mado these wagers came behind tho
scene. aud settled tho matter for them
selves." Tho new baby was at tho Walnut per
formance last evening, and behaved
" beautifully." Its debut was pronounced
a success. It is a boy, and its namo is

A Young Man End His Ijfo Because
of
Trouble About His Work.
Otto Heyland, aged twenty-one years,
residing with his mother at 433 North
Fourth street, Philadelphia, Thursday
evening committed suicide by shooting
himself through the heart. Heyland was
an upholsterer by trade and was employed
as a foreman in Hopkins establishment,
Ninth and Cherry streets. His relations
with tho men over whom hs had beon
placed were uot of a pleasant character
aud besides his work at times caused him
a great deal of aunoyauce. About a week
ago he became melancholy, and to tho in
quiries of his relatives as to the cause of
ni8 depression answered that matters were
not going right at the shop. He returned
homo at the usual hour Wednesday eve
ning and went direct to his room on the
third floor where ho rcmaiued for a
lew minutes aud then ascended to the
attic. Here he divested himself of most
of his clothing and taking a revolver from
his pocket deliborately shot himself
in the left breast. Tho only other occu
pant of the house at tho time was the
mother of the young man, who was so
busily engaged in Mm cellar that sho did
not hear the lepoit made by the revolver.
About 7 o'clock a brother-in-law of tho
young man returned home and as Otto
tailed to come to supper a search was in
stituted for him. The door of tho attic
was burst open and the dead body of Hey
land found on tho floor with a twenty
eight calibre revolver by his side.

Comparing the Vote With Last Ycar'a
Chairmen Cooper and Hensel yesterday
agreed to comparo tho losses and gains of
the Republican and Democratic candidates
for governor as returned on election night
with tho vote for stato treasurer last year,
when Bailey, Republican, had 6,824 plu
rality. Mr. Hensel has asked his corres
pondcuts for tho total vote and will make
his own estimates aside from the reported
gains and losses. Ou tho Independent
side, Chairman McKee says that intelli
gent comparison can hardly bo mado, as
few, if any, Democrats who voted for
Wolfe in 1881 will support the Independ
ent ticket now, while many of tho Inde
pendents of tho last campaign may now
vote directly for Pattison.

What GartielCa Attorney-Ueacral Known
About tbo Boh Senatorial Candidate
ef the Adams-Cuiuberlana
District.
l'liiljilelpbiu Evening Telegraph.
Fresh interest in the peculiar caudidacy
of James W. Bosler iu Mr. Cameron's in
terest, iu tho 32d senatorial district,
haviug been excited by tho publication of
a letter from cx-Sccretary Blaine to Bosler
this journal thought it would be well to
see what ex. Attorney General MacVeagh
knew about tho famous Indian-beef and
mail route contractor. Mr. MacVeagh
was fouud iu his otlice this morning, when
the following interview tok place,
reporter said :
" Mr. MacVeagh, have you seen
Our
Mr.
Blaine's letter to candidate Bosler '."'
".Yes ; I have seen it, and I was very
sorry to see it. It was probably written
upon impulse, aud without proper reflec
tion." "Then you don't agree with Mr.
Biaiuo in thinking Bosler a good man to
send to the state Senate ? '
" Most decidedly I do not, and if Mr.
Ulaiue had reflected upon the subject, I
am sure he would not either. Thero is no
reason why the good people of Cumber
land and Adams should desire a man who
has grown rich by government con
tracts to represent them in the Senate.
The qualities which enable a man to amass
a largo fortune iu Washington in selling
cattle to tho Indian bureau, however
admirable iu themselves, are uot the
qualities particularly needed just now'in
a law-maker at Harrisburg, and there
can't be tuch a dearth of fit men in that
district as to require its voters to elect the
Boslers to high office."
Just what was Bosler's connection with
tho Star Routo cases ?
"It was quite sufficient, apart from
everything else, to render his electiou un
desirable. Long before the prosecutious
were commenced Rerdell, who was recently
convicted, testified before a committee of
congress that Dorsey and Bosler were in
terested together iu a good many of the
routes Brady had expedited, but no acted
as a clerk for them, and the records showed
that iu a singlo routo No. -10,104 Dorsey
and Bosler were receiving at tho rato of
$24,000 per auuum, without a pretence of
doing anything whatever to earn it. When
asked if anybody had any iutercst in this
routo but Dorsey, Rerdell answered : "Ho
aud his partner, Mr. Bosler." He had
previously stated that he was then acting
as a clerk for tho firm of Dorsey & Co.,
and attending to their Star Routo con
tracts. Ho was asked, ' who constitute
i ho firm you represent ?' Ho auswcied,
'S. W. Dorsey ami J. W. Bosler." '
"I cannot believo that if Mr. Blaine had
known these facts he would havo asked
Republicans to promote men of the Bosler
type just now, when wo are trying to set
up higher standards, not lower, in our
public service. I can hardly believe the
decent men of either party iu that senato
rial district will caro to send tho employer
of Rerdell and tho partner of Dorsey to
our state Senate, at least not this year.
Better try some other year."
