It seems from all thMe-autherlties that Senater Jeseph P. Jfareedy started the story. Mr. James B. fMUten, whose name Is alleged te nave lata ferxed by Mr. nirst te two notes, aa'for160andenefor$lK It appears sidfl with Mr. Kennedy. Senater 1 Kennedy cemmunlcate'd the charge te Oel. McUlure, of the limes, who sent for Mr. Hirst and confronted htm with Ken dy. Mr. Hirst explained that he had 3 signed the notes with Pattisen'a name .-la the absence of the latter from t no my, they being renewals or 'f Hke notes then coming due, and -. Hirst, considering that he had Fftittaen'a authority te sign his name f te their renewal and de anything needful $a protect the originals anu save mem from pretest. Cel. McClure and bena tftr Kennedy did net accept the explana Wen as satisfactory, and demanded Mr. .Hirst's withdrawal from the ticket en -fin of exposure in the Times. He was, $ however, given a day or two te consider i what his action would be. ii', He determined, en the advice of his f friends, that he would net withdraw, as -j-that would be u confession of guilt. uev. x'atuseu la unuersioeii te nave uiua advised him.

"" Caa0 Ur ,OW ",1U DIUIJUU. JL IIO H-U t'.'?i charged i3 ndmittcd. Tue question is kL. IU. Mfl.nl Ititintftll IKlOOQ llnPP Were the notes fraudulently made, or was Mr. Hirst authorized te de what lie did. This is the only question involved in the decision as te hi3 guilt or iunecence. It would seem te be fairly determined in his favor by the fact that Mr. Patti Patti Ben, the person who i3 supposed te have been wronged, has written te Mr. Hirst declaring that he did net wrong him by f& . his act, which Mr. Hirst was fully war njj ranted in doing iy men- persenm icm- tiens nnd understandings. That letter was submitted te Cel. Mc Clure, nnd seems then te have satlstled him, as he did net make the threatened publication, and Mr. Hirst 6ftys that he shook hands with him at parting and gave him the impression that he believed him innocent. Certainly Cel. McCiure bad sufficient reason te accept Mr. Hirst and Mr. Pattisen'a statement as con clusive iu the matter. He is a law er and knows that it is net forgery te bign another man's name te n paper. Forgery is defined te be " the fraudulent making and alteration of a writing te the prejudice of another man's right;" nd acaln. as " ;i making, with evil intent, of auy written instru ment for the purpose of fraud and de ceit." Neither or these definitions say any thing about slgninganether man's name, or call that forgery. It is the fraud ulent writing that makes the offense. It is necessary that it should ba done with evil Intent for another's hurt. New in this case the party charged te have been hurt says he was net hurt. And who ITnews belter V He further says that Mr. Hirst was warranted in writing his name as he did; and Mr. Illrst says he wrote it with that impression, without intent te injure Pattison, or todeanything that he did net belleve himself authorized te de. New who knows about these inten tions nnd this warrant better Mian Mr. Pattison and Mr. Hirst ? Who stands ready te contradict them V Ne one in the world can de it. The case gees before the juiy, who are the people, its it stands demanding their acquittal ; and demanding from them mere ; demanding reparation te Mr. Hirst in his election. This charge has been made against him by the Republi can organ, the Press, te defeat iilm. If it is true, and the people think him guilty, he will deservedly be beaten. Bat if it is false the boomerang should recoil en its authors in Mr. Hirst's triumphant election. Cel. McClure with the Philadelphia Times, has followed along at the tail of the l'ress, in support et its charge. We de net believe that he has done it mali ciously, as Mr. Hirst charges, but simply through an error et judgment, such a be is apt te be betrayed into. He pro bably considered that the people would held Mr. Hirst's act te be a forgery, and he possibly was rusty enough in his law te think that they might be Justified In doing ee. He has no prejudice In favor et Mr. Hirst, or Gov Gov ereor Pattison, his friend, and se naturally drifted Inte that con demnation of him which it appeared likely would be the popular verdict. Cel. McCiure would have done himself mere credit if he had controlled I1I3 prejudices sufficiently te be entirely just te Mr. Hirst, nud te weigh the evidence la his case as it would be weighed in the scales of a court of Justice ; by which he never could be condemned. If Cel. McCiure has Lever written the iiamoef another person by virtue of an implied and understood, but net express, au therlty, he has net had an experience which belongs te many, if net most, men te business. We cannot conceive any passible wrong in doing what the parties eucerned ate satisfied should be done ; and the law Onds no wrong in the making or any written instrument in geed faitli and without intent te defraud and de ceive. We are very sure that, as Mr. Hirst says, that geed lawyer and square and fair gentleman, Senater Kennedy, be longer condemned Mr. Hirst when he jketud that Mr. Pattison had endorsed ' is action.

"When Senators Bayard and Thurmnn appear together en a piatierrn.ii is wueuuu steed that it is soundly Democratic. a m m A tirll Scnrlce Reformer. Mr. Everett P. Wheeler is a civil ser vice reformer who hews te the line, let the chips fall where they may. When Commissioner of Pensions Dudley aban doned his official duties in Washington for the purpose et going te Ohie te the assistance of the Republican party, Mr. Wheeler promptly addressed au open letter te President Arthur te the effect that as the pension office business was In arrears, a paid public servant should be called te account for this epeu neglect. He also demanded that the president censuie Dudley for his flagrant violation of the rules of civil servlce reform in prostituting his office te the needs et his party. The letter has been referred te the secretary of the Interior for investigation and as a result the acting commissioner of pen siens declares thnt there has been no discrimination in the settlement of claims in favor of republicans. This is doubtless strictly true, for the reason that there has net been time for the ful fillment of the alleged premises made te Ohie Republican voters. What the public would like te feel ajsured of Is that there were no premises ever made of favoritism In the consideration of pension claims in return for Republican votes. Hut this Is an inquiry the truth of which Is hard te get at for obvious reasons. Mr. Wheeler seems te be au eminently logical man, as well as au ardent civil service reformer. He finds it difficult te understand hew Mr. Sherman S. Rogers, of New Yerk, can consistently refraiu from supporting Cleveland after having remarked that the Democrats would net be wlse enpugh te nominatetlie governor of New Yerk, who "was a practical civil service reformer, a man of high charac ter, abselute Integrity and great execu tive ability, who would certainly be elected if lie should be nominated." But consistency is net te be expected from the followers of Mr. Blaine. His most respectable support comes from these who acknowledge the glaring spots en his public record, but trust that the great responsibilities of the presi dential office will work a change for the better iu dim. If a clerk in the employ of these blind Republican partisans should be guilty of criminal dereliction they would net advance him te higher responsibilities in the hope of thus re forming him. They would turn the ras cal out, and that is what the Democracy propose te de with Mr. Blaine. It la cot the beat way for Republicans te eatch the Prohibition vete by denounc ing St Jehn. Blaine's attempt te make capital out of the "itelid Seuth" will end in making the country solid against him. Rei'UULICAK hopes at the present time are llke Dead Sea apples ; they leek very pretty, but will net bear investigation. It was the business raen'a scare four years age that oleetcd Oarfield, aud it is a business men's scare that will elect Cleve land. A LAXrASTF.n dispituh te the Philadel phia l'teu says that " Lancaster county U aroused as it has never been in its history." Hew dreadfully quiet former campaigns must have been. Finding all ether efforts unavailing Mr. Blaine proposes te wave the "bloody shirt." The attempt te ntir up sectional issued will only serve te make his narae go down in deeper disgrace after the Republican rout in November. Tnr. Democrats in Ohie, In spite et all their disadvantages, east 39,000 inore votes In October than they did for Han cock, while the Republicans cast only 10,000 mero than they did for Garfield. Blaine Is beaten. Tiik oufted goods committee of the New Yerk morcantile exohaune have taken up the ouJgela in dofunse of the feel Biipplli 1 they manufacture. In a cir cular UniiRd te the prefc they declare tha the avorage annual production of canned goods is new estimated te he upwards of 500,000,000 of tins, or about ten for every man, woman and child in the United States. They append opinions of soleutiile uatbenties te the effect that medt of the reports oncoming the dangers of eating canned feed are toimtienal. The public will derive much benefit from the litera ture of the controversy between the friends and euemids of eauned goods that is new under full headway. The Independent Republican movement has taken deep toot iu many of ihe East ern states, notably In New Yerk and Cen necticut. Iu New Haven, in the latter state, the Republiean belt boeotnos larger as eleotlen day draws near. Aretas W. Themas, a well known Waterbury lawyer, said recently that he had beeu told that there were but two Independents in town and that he was cue of thorn. Peeling rather lonely, ha made a eanvass of the town and in less than an hour be had so se curod 100 signatures of anti-Maine Re. publleau8. A few hours' work gave him 150 mera, and he is assured that there are 300 IndependenU in that place, who are receiving daily accessions te their ranks.
