Democratic State Ticket.
STATE TEEASI'EEE,
DANIEL O. It Alt K, Allegheny county.
THE first of the State elections this
year took place in Kentucky on last
Monday. A governor ami State legis
lature were elected, and as usual the
* Democrats came out largely ahead,
although, owing to weak opposition, a
light vote was polled.
ONE man was found in the Treasu
ry Departmeut at Washington, who
refused to contribute to the campaign
fund raised for the Ohio election, at
the same time announcing himself a
Democrat. His independence has no
doubt earned an early, hut honorable
discharge from the public service.
THE detectives and jndicc of Read
ing have succeeded in capturing thir
teen of a large organized hand of rob
bers who have been committing depre
dations upon the people of the ea-tern
l>art of the State, for the last two
years. They are young Germans, and
were captured on the same plan adop
ted to detect the Molly Maguires.
JAMES MADISON PORTER, I'. G. M.
w of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Penn
sylvania, died at Hasten on Saturday
last. He was a lawyer of considerable
eminence, and a son of the Hon. Jas.
M. Porter, who iu bis lifetime was a
very prominent man iu this State, and
the Secretary of War under President
Taylur.
THE Lamar Sentinel, a Republican
pa|M.-r published iu lowa, has caught
the infection in earnest, and is giving
k full signifiretice Pi the teachings of
Mr. Hay<* and the stalwarts of the
last Congress. He advocates central
ization, the wiping out of all State
lines entirely, and changing the name
of the United States to that of Ameri
ca. He proposes also to abolish so
much of the Constitution as would
interfere with this nice stalwart pro
gramme, repealing all State constitu
tions and reorganizing the States as
provinces, under charters granted by
the General government. Whether
this editor is a fool or crazy, is not
material. He only reiterates, in plain
form, the sentiment slyly put and ac
ted in the great councils of his party
in the last session of Congress. He is
for Grant ami would elect and keep
him in until this revolution is settled
and the empire thoroughly establish
ed, after which to make the Presiden
tial term teu years, ami the President
to be chosen by Congress, and all laws
passed by the provisional legislatures,
subject to his veto.
F IN accordance with the resolution
of the Democratic State Convention
authorizing Mr. Coffroth, the Presi
dent of the Convention, and Mr. Harr,
the candidate for State Treasurer, to
select a Chairman of the State Central
Committee, these gentlemen announce
that they have agreed upon the Hon.
George W. Miller, of Washington
county, for the position. If Mr. Hpcer
was not to be continued, the selection
of Mr. Miller will be generally acqui
esced in by the jsirty as judicious,
though many regard it as the best that
► could have been made. Mr. Miller is a
a leading citizen of the county in which
he lives, is an energetic, intelligent
gentleman of excellent standing ami
character, a thorough Democrat, and
for years has been prominent in the
|>olitics of Western Pennsylvania. As
a member of the Htate legislature he
served the people of his county with
credit and ability, in the House of
Representatives in 18.56, and in the
Henate from 1868 to 1860, and his
friends claim that he is a first-rate
organizer. The headquarters of the
fommittoe will be at Pittsburg.
EXACT JUSTICE TO ALL MEN, or WHATEVER STATE OH I'KESUAHION, KKI.IOIOIm OH Tol.lTlCAL."—Jvffmon
The Republican Platform.
The second resolution of the Repub
lican platform roads as follows :
Second. That wo appeal to the Union
loving people of Pennsylvania to nrrost
by their votes the mad career of the
democratic party, which ins<sts upon
placing the National Government under
the dominion of men who hut lately
fought to destroy it, and who are now
plotting to give triumph to the doctrine
they failed to establish in the field, the
establishment of State sovereignty by
the overthrow of National supremacy.
The above is not a very clear or
precise statement of any principle or
policy, hut a confused jumble of words
for the purjKise of satisfying the un
thinking portion of tluir party that
some patriotic purjose is to he served
by the election of the Republican can
didates in November. The "Union
loving people of Pennsylvania" to
whom this ap|R-a! is made can include
hut few, if any, of the managers of the
Republican party, for they now as
ever hnte the Union and all who hon
estly and sincerely uphold it. From
the organization of this party to the
present time the whole effort of the
managers bus been to instill into the
masses prejudices and hatred toward
the people and institutions of one-half
the country. Let hatred for the peo
ple of the South dUapiear, and the
Republican party would disappear
with it. The pretense that the stal
warts are Union loving men is as hald
and hypocritical as any statement
could lie.
The doctrine of State rights, as
taught and practiced by the I)eiuocra
tic party from its organization to the
present time, is simply the doctrine of
ths Constitution. We admit now, as
our party always did, that the Federal
Constitution and the laws enacted in
accordance with it, are the supreme
laws of the land, and that no State,
either by a statute, constitutional pro
vision or resolution of a convention,
ran nullify or suspend either., The
alleged right of secession was an en
tirely different thing. The Democra
tic party upheld the rights which the
.States had under the Constitution and
the Union; the Kjuth claimed the
right for the States to go out of the
Union and annul the Constitution.
We claim now, as we always claimed,
just what the Constitution in the 10th
article provides: "The powers not del
egated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the States, arc reserved to the Stati-s
respectively, or to the people." Wher
ever the people of the States have del
egated to the Federal government any
power or jurisdiction the, Federnl gov
ernment is supreme. Whatcverjow
er has not beeu delegated to the Fede
ral government, remains with the seve
ral States, and in the exercise of those
powers the Slates are supreme.
The whole policy of the radical par
ty is to consolidate all power in the
Federal Government, not because they
love the government of the Constitu
tion, but liecause it removes the pow
er further from the people. With lo
cal self government the people arc
brought into actual contact with those
who govern, and will, sooner or later,
apply the projicr remedy in ease of
roisgovernment. When powers are ex
ercised by Federal officers the people
have no such direct remedy for their
misconduct. The radicals desire that
all power shall emanate from Wash
ington, and he wielded in the interest
of their party. The Democracy desire
all power and authority to cmnnatc
front the people, and he wielded for
the general good. This is the simple
issue.
The "mad cfreer" of the Democra
tic party which they want to have ar
rested is the reduction of unnecessary
expenses, our objection to letting Uni
ted Btates *marsbals pack juries, and
oQr refusal to appropriate public mo
ney to pay marshals and tbeir depu
ties for interfering with and debauch
ing elections. The people are not in
terested to stop this kind of career,
even though the stalwarts do call it
mad.
HKLLEFONTH, I'A., THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, IKT'.I.
No Place for a Poor Man.
Applicant* for the mission,
soon to become vacant by the return
of the Hon. John Welsh, arc quite nu
merous. We understand, however,
that Mr. Hayc* would like to confer
thi* appointment upon some wealthy
favorite of the administration, ami in
order to deter any except millionaires
from applying for the place the coun
try is treated to estimate* of the trust
of maintaining the dignity of the igni
tion over anil above the salary allowed
hy law to the minister that seem as
tounding. In uu article upuu thi* sub
ject the Harrisburg Patriot with gnat
good sense remarks, "It is estimated
that the minister to Fmgluud from thi*
country must spend annually about
$24,000 more than the salary iu order
to maintain the dignity of the |K>*i
tion. The salary is $17,500 a year.
The object of this assertion about the
exjH nsivcneKs of the position i* easily
understood. It is to keep the jwior
men out of the list of competitor* in
order that the |>osition limy lie confer
red upon *<>tue wealthy snob who has
no other way of obtaining social dis
tinction in England than hy the lavish
expemliturc of money in dinners and
fashionable establishments. It is said
that this necessity for expenditure
comes with the change in the times.
Times have certainly chnugetl since
Benjamin Franklin, the first, the ablest
and most successful of American di
plomatists, wa* agent of the colonies in
England. Franklin wa- on intimate
terms with Ixird Shclhurne, with Ix>r<l
Chatham, ami with many more of the
most distinguishes! of the English no
bility. It was not necessary for him
to spend money extravagantly in order
properly to represent the colonies, nor
would it have been in keeping with the
republican simplicity of his character.
Yet in that day there wa* almost a*
much extravagance in English society
a* there is now. Coming down to a
later period James Buchanan did not
find it necessary to spend more than
hi* salary in order to hold up hi* bend
among England's aristocracy. Yet he
was never wanting in hospitality or in
a nice regard for the social require
ments of his position whether a* min
ister to England or as president of the
United State*. Neither did Charles
Francis Adams nor the historian Mot
ley. These representatives of the Uni
ted Stat.* had other claims to distinc
tion than the ability to s|ieml mom y.
They could maintain the dignity of
their position ami the honor of their
country without entering into compe
tition with the uiinist.T* of other coun
tries in giving extravagant entertain
ments.
The first minister to set the exam
ple of high living in London was Ed
wards Pierrepont who expended far
more than his salary. But I'ierrcpont
rejoiced in hi* connection with some
of the proudest of Englaud's aristoc
racy, and he owed something to that
ronsidcration. His claim would not
have been allowed had he not hacked
it by a profuse expenditure. Minister
Welsh did not break the precedent
left him hy Picrnqioint especially when
his wealth enabled him so easily to
follow it. Among those who have
been mentioned for minister to Eng
land are Anthony J. Drcxel, Geo. W.
Childs and Izevi P. Morton. Either
of them would he able to follow the
I'ierrepoint example or to outdo it.
But that i* all that can lie said of
them. The appointment of either of
them would be a virtual confession
that the position of minister to Eng
land i* conferred upon considerations
of wealth alone. It would be an act
of homage to snobbery at home and
Abroad. The only qualification for
minister to England would consist in
the capacity for giving big dinner*.
If the appointment were made on the
grounds'of real merit and fitntw* for
tho position the salary of seventeen
thousand five hundred dollar* a year
would be sufficient and would leave
tho occupant something to spare at
the end of each year. If not, the of
fice ought to remain vacant. The ap
|M)intmeut of a Drcxcl, a Child*, or u
Morton would not Ire filling it.
Tub Rcjiublicnn *nvH of Samuel
Butler, the Republican candidate for
State Treasurer, "he shouldered his
musket like a true patriot, and placed
lii* life iu jeopardy, that the (Jovcrn
ment might live." Now, will the Jir
publiain la- kind enough to inform rt*
reader* iu what year Samuel Butler
" shouldered hi* musket like a true
patriot," liow long he carried it. and
in what battle* he "placed hi* life in
jeopardy, that the government might
live?" In la-ing a claim for jiopular
support up>ii such high ground* it
would he w. lJ enough, you know, to
Ire a little more particular in the mat
ter of details.

VOTE AS THE RESI'LT or A
WEAK orrofUTioj*.
I*u I*vl l.i.e. Ky., August b. —Sj>ecial
despatches indicate a falling off of the
Democratic vote east at yesterday's elec
| tion for State officer* and niemiters of
' the legislature.
The Democratic central committee
: estimates the total vote at not over
I 2<*HNs). a falling otr over 50,000 on the
Tilden Have* vote, and of over 15,000
• "ii the last gubernatorial vote. In this
city alone the vote fall* off over 3,000.
. The Democratic majority is still over
whelming in the general assembly.
The call for aeonstitutior.al convention
fails for want of a constitutional majori
ty in its favor. In this city, where the
worktngmen elected five of the seven
I representative*, two years ago. none but
Democrats were elected yesterday. The
i ireenbacker* cut no figure in the con

Sentenced to be Married.
An Knglish couple have recently been
, senteuced to matrimony in rather a cu
| nous way, A young man and a young
i woman were contesting |*Ms<>sion of a
piece of properly, the one claiming un
der an old lease, the other under an old
will. "It just strikes me," said the
justice, "that there is a pleasant and
<-ay way to terminate this old lawsuit.
' The plaintiff appears to be a re*|>ert*b|p
I young man. and this a very nice young
woman. (Laughter.) They can both
get married ami live happily on th
farm. If they go on with the law pro
-1 proceedings it will bo all frittered away
between the lawyers, who. I am sure ate
not ungallant enough to wish the mar
riage not to cotne off." The lady bitish
<-d and the young man stammered they
"liked each other a little bit," such a
verdict was entered for the plaintiff on
condition of hi* promise to marry the
defendant within two month*, a stay of
execution being put to the verdict till
the marriage ceremony should he com
pleted. About the first match ever
made in a court of law.
Farmer Dodge'* Story.
At a meeting of the American Insti
tute Farmers' Club, milk being the
ic, Farmer lodge told a story, at fol
lows :
"A Teuton made a little fortune here
not long ago in the milk businO*. and
decided to return to Germany and enjoy
it in his old home. In the ship that
was bearing him homeward was a mis
chievous monkey. The monkey, prying
around one day, found a heavy bag and
ran up to the masthead with it. The
Herman clasped his hands in despair at
seeing the.hag; it was his money, all in
gotd. The monkey in a leisurely way
pulled out a piece and flung it down to
the deck when the ex milkman gather
ed it up. Then the beast tossed a aec
ond piece into the sea. Thus alternate
ly the pieces went, one into the ocean ;
and the nex\ into the distracted inan'a j
pocket. 'Ah,' said the ex milkman as
lie pocketed just half of what he had
started with, 'it ia just. One-half of
that milk I have aold waa milk, and the
money for it come* back ; the other
half waa water, and half goes back to
water.'"
Tax Mount Vernon (<*hio) Ranmrr
prints the annexed letter from Judge
Thurman to (ieneral George W. Morgan, t
written on the day of tho adjournment j
of Congress. It concisely states the
method and extent of tho "Democratic
backdown" at the extra session :
WASHINGTON, July 3, 1879 My /Vur
•Sfr : The Kxira Session ia at an end. In
my judgment, no session of Congress has
ever dono more for tho vindication of
the principles of Ainerioan liberty. We
have successfully maintained the prin
ciple that the bayonet aball not control
the ballet-box; we have repealed the
infamous jurors test oath ; we have pro
vided for impartial juries in the Federal
courts, North and South ; and we have
maintained the principle that the Fed
eral Government aball not interfere in
tho election of the officers of the States.
A greater declaration in favor of popular
liberty has not been made since tha
adoption of Magna Charta.
