r?' r &A2TGASVER DAILY INTELLIGENCE! FRIDAY. OCTOBER 3. IKS .:. ,' tK fUttcastet fritelifgcnrct. , FRIDAY PVHfflHQ, OPT, 0, 1003. Mr. Ertmnnd'fl lieelnrntlen. Tlie newspapers tire disposed te glve si Kteat deal of Blgniflcance te Senater Edmund's remnrk, when nominated for tlie presidency of the Episcopal conven tion, that he was net a candidate for president of this or any ether place, at this or any ether time, or words te that effect. The Republican papers nssume te understand from this that the sena tor would net accept a nomination for president of the United Stntes and they express great regret thereat. But this readiness te accept a declaration se cas ually made as barring the distinguished senator from the presidential race lends strength te the suspicion that they are rather glad te bow him out. In fact, Sonater Edmunds said nothing whatover te cIobe the gates te the presi dency upon liim. It is understood quite clearly by ovcrybedy but these who have the presidential bee in their bonnets, that the worst read te the White Heuse is the candldate's read. Te make the chance reasonably geed of getting there, it is advisable te se train the walk and conversation as te lnduce the public te believe that there is no burning anxiety te reach it. Every politician is credited with a willingness te be president if he can get the place ; and no amount of asseveration will induce a contrary be lief. Mr. Tilden, for instance, has been vowing himself and been vowed for by bis friends times without number as net being a presidential candidate ; and under these numereus nole fmVenun declarations he may perchance beceme habilitated lute a pessible candidate. There Is a natural tendency often te push a plum te a man who does net grab for it ; prompted chiefly by the aoed will which he elicits from the friends of ether men who are camli dates, when they find they cannot make tlie riflle. Probably Horatio Seymour i3 the only statesman who commands public faith in his unwilling ness te be president ; but Mr. Seymour was once nominated for the office after he had positively declined it and he did net decline the nomination after he had it. Quite possibly if it had been known that lie would take it, lie might net have been tendered it. There was a statement quite current at the time that ills nomination was really tendered as a movement toward tlie final nomina tion of Mr. Chase. Mr. Saymour, no doubt, accepted from a sense of duty ; and he was quite right te de se Mr. Edmund3 might be induced te accept, If he was nominated, by a like cause, even though he does net hanker after the place ; as very likely he does net, since he is reputed te boa sincere and hard headed old man. "What we mean te say about his recent declination is that it in no way bars his acceptance of the presi dency ; and that he does net damage his chance of being nominated by his party by declaring that he is net a candidate. If he Is wauted lie will be called ; and his pronounced reluctance will net mutlle the bell. l'ertlneui Views. Anether Democratic apportionment bill failed te pass the Heuse the ether day, because there was net a constitu tional majority of Democrats there. This is another illustration of the re suits of the absenteeism which some of the members Indulge in and the rest of them permit. We repeat what we have said before, what the Democratic press of the state universally agrees with, and what the governor firmly believe, that in failing te keep 101 members, at least, at Harrisburg the Democratic represen tatlves greatly weaken their position and enhance public dissatisfaction with them remaining there. Tlie Deme cratlc newspapers of the state have been recently quoting with warm approval the comments of the Philadelphia Lcdye r upon the apportionment question and its approval of tlie attitude of the governor and his party en tills issue. That lulu ential journal, however, recegnises the fact that the Democratic position is greatly weakened by absenteeism in the Houee. In its issue of te day it thus expresses views which should sink deeply into the minds of Democrats at Harris burg. It says: If tlie Democratic majority of the Har riaburg Heuso of Representatives should be asked te exhibit the outcome of their actual work last week and this, they would have no better iihewiug te make than the Republican majority of the Sennte, though the latter body has assein bled but thrce times meeting only te adjourn. This is bccaime the Deraoeiatlo majority of the Heuse, which has been luBistiug upon acontinuanceof thoacfsieu until the command of the constitution nbnll be ebeyed, has been tee indifferent te Its own assumed position te compel thu attendance of its own members. The Heuse ha doue nothing during that lime bccauie the Democratic majority, which can rule the Heuso wken ita ranks ure full. have neglected their plain duty. Efferts te pass apportionment bills failed for lack of a constitutional majority, although such majority is centaiued ou the Democratic en. 'mere was net enough of thorn present even te nssert their position upon the rcoerd. Only a day or two age theso who were preoent wero obliged te go back upon thomselvcB because of their absentees. It was that which led Sir. Crawford te say that the Republicans oalled up oiieortho apportionment bills only bocause there wcre net oue hundred and ene Democrats iu the Heuso. This was, no doubt, true ; but there was no force lu It. becausn it. ia the business of the Demoeratlo maleritv m have one hundred and ene (and mere) of its morabers there at every meeting of the Heuse, if it hepes te make geed the only ground upon which it can justify being in session at all. The Deraocratle majority of the Uouce is responsible for the indllTorcuee, negllgouce and abscn. toeism of the Heuso just as the Republi can majority iu the Senate is responsible for the refusal of the Benato te go beyend its ' ultimatum" or te meet raore than twice a week. This Is the responsibility in all representative bodies where there is a party majority and a party opposition. While nil thinking, fair minded men will accord te individual eonateis and repre sentatives whatever merit is due te them ier their uUendance and oudeavera te de their duty, tby cannot rail te oeudemu the majorities who allow tlie duties of thn .Legislature te oe nogiaetoa ana tilllcd wku as in me iiouse, or uenieu as m tue Benato. Fer party majorities have It always In their power te enforce attend. puoe and te compel progress lu the publle -- .,, . . bujinens, ee far as progress in oaeh sopar separ sopar nte chamber is concerned. The ene thing for. the majority party of the Heuso te de Is te get toaether, and te put all its powers into ferce te keep to gether, that Biiffleicnt constitutional num bcr of its members without which it can de no oflbetlvo legislative work, nnd then te past honest apportionment bills fairly dividing the state into legislative and congressional districts as compact con tlgueus territory, aud as equal as may be In population and then te place the work ence mero bofero the Senate Un less it docs this, nnd docs It promptly, there is no justitlcatien nnd can be ue justification for n further contlnuance of the session. The absentees of the Heuso and the majority of the Heuso by their toieranco of and trilling with suchabsence are placing the Heuso iu as untenable a position us the Senate has put itself in. Unless it is corrcetod. It will have te be assumeJ that both the absentees and the Domeoratlo majority doslre te bring abent just that result. Mit.XiLRs, the Republican candidate for auditor general, read in the Heuse the ether evenlng a carefully prepared speech ever which lie has been incub.tt Ing for some time and In which he re versed his own position of a few months before, when lie declared for an apper tlonment based en tlie relatlve vote of the parties, whereas he new says that " in no civilized country have votes ever beenrecegnizjda? a basis of representa tion." In view of his gross Inconsistency it is ue wender his speecli was listened te, as we hear, with great indifference nnd that it has met with no popular re sponse. Net only did It contradict his own position of a few months age, but he contradicted hltnielf before lie get through with it, for lie immediately proceeded te talk about " Republican and Democratic " counties aud te dter mine their rights by reason of their politics Whereupon the Recerd picks him up in this fine style . Hew was it ascertained by this ingeni ous apologist of gerrymander that there are se many Republican aud se many Democratic counties In the state ? Why, by taking the votes. Yet in ene breath he refuses te reoegnizo votes as a basis of representation, and in the next he makes a claim te undue representation taken upon a fantaHtie partisan theery that has votes only for a oasis. Hew was It ascor ascer ascor tained that the llttle county of Lsbtuea is entitled in the Senate te representation eqnal te that of Berks or Westmoreland '? Surely net by taking the population, but by taking the votes and finding that though the uumber is small the county can always be depended en te olect a sena tor of a certain party stripe. If we arc te beliove Mr. Nilcs, however, lu spile of arithmetic- and returns of electiens, the apportionments whieh he offers are alt based en the constitutional ratios of popu lation. Tbe truth is that no apportion ment was ever made In Pennsylvania ezcept upon a careful and clese analysis of tun election returns. Se that what .Mr. Nilcs asserts Is mero partisan cant, whieh serves but ill te hlile the iniquity of the apportionment bills, which he hardly de fends. Thuue are two Interests which are becoming aroused en the question of our immense federal surplus. The national batiks foresee that ii the one hundred and forty millions new collected by tax tax atlen In e.ice33 of the necessary govern ment expenditures are continued, the bends of the government will all be re deemed within a short period, and the basis of the national banking circulation will be destroyed. These who favor a tariff see that with the rapid reduction and final total elimination of the debt. the occasion for u tariff will be greatly lessened Thequestien of the uunecssary surplus must bj met Tlie Pennsylvania Republicans say "divide" It ; the Dam- ecratssay " abolish it " Tnere must be no taxation except what is necessary for economical administration of the state Keverninent.

After deve tlenal servlces the heuse of deputies was called te order by the president, Rev.

He also submitted resolutions providing that the same words hi eliminated where where ever they appear iu the cauens and the constitution. Iu speaking in support of thorn, he said the idea was te abolish the sectarian name, and stated that the senti ment in that direction was growing stronger overy day. The resolutions were laid en the table, but the vete was recon sidered, and after a spirited debate they were referred te appropriate committees The report of the cemmittee en revision of tbe prayerboek was then submitted, and it was made the spseia! erder for Tuesday next The convention then ad. jjurncd.
