Pattison, the Democratic candidate. "Too young," eh! He seems old enough to make Philadelphia the best controller that city has ever had ; he is just the right age to say, "I forbid," when a thief attempts to filch money from the treasury on a fraudulent voucher. This is the kind of a man needed at Harrisburg, to put a stop to the plundering of the tax payers, and Robert E. Pattison is just old enough to do it; and will do it. "Too young!" They who talk thus forget both history and experience. All tire great deeds of the world have been done by young men ; in every walk of life, from the battlefield to the studio and the laboratory. Washington was but twenty-one when ho made his peril ous journey to the Ohio through the wilderness of Virginia and Pennsylva nia, and only twenty-three when he saved l'.raddock's army on the Motion gahela. Wolf was but thirty two when he gave the finishing stroke to French power in America on the Plains of Abraham, and Napoleon conquered Italy at twenty-six. When Thomas Jefferson took up his pen to write that immortal Declaration, which knocked the political shackels from the Ameri can colonies, he was barely thirty three. William 11. Seward was nominated for Governor of New York at the age of Robert K. Pattison, and DeWitt Clinton was of the same age when he closed his brilliant career in the Senate of his native State, and was elected to the United States.Senate. Alexander Ham ilton was the confidential friend of Washington at twenty, and had made hia mark in the Cabinet of the young Republic at thirty one. < ur three great est statesmen, Clay, Webster and Cal houn were in the zenith of their fume, and a listening Senate hung upon their words, before they were thirty-six. Give us young men. They have cour age, hope; are not afraid to meet re* aponsibilitiea, and have the honest am bition to make a great reputation. Thoae who decry young men, are Hour bons of the Bourbon. The destiny of thia country is in the handa of her young men. They made her past bril liant ; and gloriously will they fill their future mission. If Pennsylvania is to be rescued from the political juni/.arie* which have seized upon her, her imme diate future must be intrusted to young men who have the courage to do right, and the honesty of purpose to reform abuses. Robert K. Fattison is the man for the present emergency. His elec tion will revolutionize the administra tion of State affairs, and bring our good old Commonwealth back to the honest methods of Francis It. Shunk.— lfoylc*- loum Democrat. Cameronlsm Roomed. New York Tribune, (H-p) The plain fact is that there are two Republican tickets in the field, and thenyfcre not enough Republican voters in Vne State to elect more than one. Indeed it is a fact that a first class lie publican ticket, satisfactory to both Re publican factions, could be elected over Sir. Fattison, the Democratic candidate, only by bard work. No psrty can breed a quarrel like that which Mr. C'ameron'a management has caused in I'ennsylva nia and not lose strength by it. In ad dition to this, there is Mr. Pattison's independent reform record, and the fact that thousands of Republicans in Philadelphia have voted for him as con trailer, and have seen no cause for re gretting it. What they have done once they will find it easy to do again, it is absurd to say, therefore, that General Reaver has any chance of being elected. He could not be if the Independent ticket were out of the field. He simply blocks the way. "The Ihtg In Dead." The management of tlio Philadelphia House of Correction has been tolerably free from open scandals, but it is well known that in former years places on the board, the members of which ure elected by city councils, were largely sought by off color politicians who are always "on the make," It is easy to see that the supply department of such an institution might afford a fine field for ring manipulation, provided there was no incorruptible and vigilent watchman somewhere on the pathway to the city treasury. Controller Hancock was prais ed to the skies by the old city ring as a paragOn of personal and oflicial virtue, but it was only a well played game to deceive the people, who, when the light was suddenly turned on, discovered that "Honest Sammy's" ways were the ways of the wicked ; in other words, lliut he had permitted the city to be syste matically robbed. Under his adminit tration annual expenses increased enor mously and the contractor, public insti tution manager and political cormorant generally waxed fat and defiant. Now n radically different state of affairs exist in and out of the controller's office, be ing simply dne to the presence therein of an honest man. And thereby hangs a most suggestive tale, not merely found ed on facts, but upon the cold and solid truth itself. Recently business misfortune over took one of the most active of the Correction managers, and being utterly without financial resources lie was prac tically reduced to the unhappy but by no means uncommon condition of an "official" tramp. Meeting him pressing bricks one day on the highway, a sym pathizing friend suggestively inquired : "Joe, can't you get a living out <>f the Correction?" Slowly and Midly, as though bringing with it the last shreds of a blighted and lost hope, came the forlorn and mysterious reply: "Ihllv, the dog is dead."' Being pressed for an explanation the broken hearted manager said : "The situation is just this: There was a time when some thing might be done, once in a while, hut now the city of Philadelphia can't buy a box of matches and have them paid for without a voucher or a roll of documents as long as your arm. i hat man Palti.son beats everything 1 ever saw or beard of. You can't g'-t away willi him. He watches everything like a hawk. No. Hilly, as I said before, the d >e is dead." Verily, "the dog i* di d.' The day of ring manipulation of the tr• iury of Phila lelphia i j nut. Tin* ring margin on th" contractor's warrant i* wiped out. The taxpayers | iv for what they get nnd n<> more. The po<-pie's finun rial interests are zealously and fearless ly gu .rded by a faithful public official, who has thus given the best possible evidence of his fitness for a higher place in the public service win rc be can serve the people of the state. \\ ith Robert K. Fattison in the executive chair the purifying and healthful utmnsphr re of reform would bo felt at H.irrisburg as it has been in Philadelphia. There would be a cleaning out of political vandals "on the bill." The legislative rooster would become unknown, for corrupt legislation would be im|ios*il>te. Tbo government of the stale would bo re stored to its original design. Honesty and efficiency would reiitn where mal administration and corruption have so long held high carnh ah—/..M-M /. r In tdUjnxcrr. IT islikely that-lay llubbell's black mailing levy on the office-holders will cost more than it will come 10. Decent Republicans protest t>gint it. The Philadelphia Press thinks " that at such a juncture, to insult the moral sense of the country and estrange its own independent vote by chasing down unpaid assessments in Department cor ridors at Washington is one of those political blunders which approach the weakest of all crimes—suicide." It is of opinion that " a genuine service will be done the hopeful Republican leaders on tiie congressional committee if their collectors are kicked out of the depart ments. and the scandal ceases out of the land. Nor can the administration do more for itself than by doing right in this matter. One class, it is true will always be in favor of assesaruenst — the thieves and strikers. It is not, of course, true that every man in favor of assessments is a thief ; but every thief is in favor of assessment*, Dorsey, we know, believes in them, and probably every man Indicted with him does, loo." When to Strike- NUtlll Chrentcla. Now that there is a disposition to strike manifentnd in so many sections of the country—the workingracn should be careful to hit the right parties; and it behooves them seriously to consider whether they oughn't to strike against their representatives in Congress, who have wasted in jobs and u*e|ee extrava gance a surplus of fISO,QQO.OQO, wrung by the tax gather from the industries of the country. Let them strika in a way 1 that will tell, and when they strike let them hit straight from the shoulder. llomocrutH ami the Tar ill'. The Republican newspapers, especial ly those published in the great industri al districts of the state, persist in charg ing that the Democratic party is wholly a tree trade party. This they do in view of the approaching election and in the hope of deceiving workingtnen whom they have frequently deceived with the same false cry before. Hon, Nuinuel .1, Kmdall la reasonably good Democratic authority. In the House, on May sth last he said : "I favor, therefore, its speedily as pos sible, a total abolition ol our internal revenue system, and I am ready to join hands with any and all in this llou-o in favor of an equalization of our duties on imports. No one who understands the existing tarill laws will deny the justice and necessity ol revision. The present duties were for the most part levied dur ing war and lor the purpose of raising a large revenue. It will suffice in tins connection to quale the Industrial League as uuanswt-urable in this regard, as it is RII admission on the part of those who faAor the highest (.retentive duties : "They consider such revision desira ble for the interests of both for the in dustries affected and those of consumers partly on account of some original im perfections in the present tarill", and partly on account ol the modifications which demanded by the changes which have occured in conditions of produc tion and commerce. "There should he, however, no vi cious assault on these laws. Changes should have a firm foundation in rea son, and especially should we avoid mere experimental and purely specu lative efforts on this vital subject. tb May speech he said: "In tny judgment this question of free trade will net arise practically in his country during our lives, if ever so long as we continue to raise revenue by duties on imports, and therefore thedi* cussion of that principle is an alwolute waste of time. After our public debt is paid in full our expenditures can hardly be much below f'JOOO 000,000, and if this is levied in an intelligent and business like manner it will afford adequate pro tection so every industrial interest in the I'nited States. The assertion that the Constitution permit" the levying of duties in favor of protection'for the sake of protection' is equally uncalled for and unnecessary. Roth are alike delu sory and not involved in any practical administrative policy. II brought to the test I believe neither would stand for a day. I'rotection for the sake of protection i* prohibition pure and sim ple ol importation, and if there be no duties collected and consequently no revenue, leaving the necessary expenses of the government to lie collected by direct laxe*—for internal taxes would interfere with the protective principle, snd when the people were generally asked to bear the burden of haevy taxa tion to sustain cla*s legislation and the interests of a portion of our jeople at the expense of the great bulk of our popuia tion there would be an emphatic and conclusive negative. .So, 100, with free trade, there is hardly a ntan in pmblic life who advocates it pure and simple. Nohody wants direct taxation, although it would bring taxation so near and so constantly before the p>eopfe that Con gress would hesitate long before it voted the sums of money it now does, if not lor improper, at least for questionable purposes. The men who urged a tariff for pro tection in any other way than Mr. Ran dall and Democrats generally urge it, talk like teapots. They urge what is impossible—what, 11 it were possible, would defeat it* own object. bet workingtnen read more, from both sides, on this question. The least intel ligent of them can in this way hit the nail more nearly upon the head than the average Republican editor tries to.— Union 1 satin.

An Assistant Stalwart Candidate. Thomas A.
