LEONARD RUONK. j
Tin Hon. J. I'. Wickersbam, late
SuperintendenV of Public Instruction,
who was recently appointed Minister
Resident of the.United -States at Copen
hugan, soon tired of his mission. He
has resigned and returned last week to
bis residence st Lancaster, in this State.
SENATOR LEE, of Venango county, has
received the Republican nomination for
re-election in the forty-eighth district
This Senator was one of the few who
spat upon the authority and dictation
ol Cameron. His nomination has been
holly contested by the boss ring for
some weeks.
TIIE stalwart report put in circulation
that the clerks in the Philadelphia Con
troller's office were each assessed SSO
for campaign purposes, ia authoritative'
ly denied. Controller Pattiaon says no
such assessments were made, nor will be
allow any to be made by any party upon
the employes of his office.
CONOBEASNAN KASSON, of lowa, seems
to be a very hopeful stalwart. He can
see nothing in the situation in New
York and Pennsylvania "at all discour
s aging." His parly in these .Slates would
-* be glad to look Through his glaases, and
we have no doubt Secretary Folger and
* Gen. Reaver would be willing to part
with a considerable amount of flubbell
and Cooper's assessment plunder, to
obtain duplicates of these glasses.
AMONG the articles sold on the slh
H Inst., says a Washington correspondent
of the World, of condemned property of
g the Treasury Department, was a lot of
I cologne end bay runr, the relics of the
Sherman administration. There were
also some finger bowls disposed of which
ware used in the lunches given at night
in the Department to the friends of
Secretary Sherman while they were
waiting for the returna of the Cbioago
convention. These were sold of course
ss government property, having been
paid for out of the contingent fund,
and charged respectively as disinfect
ant* and etndles.
Tlio Senator.
♦ _
Tbo Hon. Cyrus T. Alexander, of this
place was tiomiruded for reelection to
the Senate by the Ih-moerntic Conferees
of this district on Fiiday Inst. This I
conference has been in a dead-look for
the last two weeks. Centre presenting
Mr. Alexander, Clearfield, James Flynn :
and Clinton S. Woods Caldwell, and is
another evidence of the rotten method
so generally Adopted, of the personal I
choice of conferees to represent the in :
dividual aspirants, instead of being the
representatives of the party to act for ;
the interests of the party. We have he- i
fore expressed our unqualified dissent i
from this practiceofallowing candidates
to select conferees instead of the Coun j
tv Conventions performing this duty.
They should be party representatives,
not the representatives of personal am
hitioh, and should he chosen with
care for their discretion and ability to ;
di-cover the interests of the party, and
the opportune moment when individual j
preference should surrender to the gen
eral interest. In the nomination of Mr.
Alexander, however, we believe the pub
lic interest has been largely subserved, ;
by the choice of the most capable and
experienced man mentioned. His re- !
turn to the Senate at this particular
time when familiarity with the rules
and the necessities which require vigi |
lrntcare and discreet ami intelligent
action to obtain a fair representation in
Congress, as well as in the legislation of
the Common wealth, in both of which the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania has '
been shamelessly deprived for many
years, pointed to the choice mule w lb j
peculiar emphasis. And while we con
gratulate the party on the result, still :
we cannot but regret that this con sum j
mation, has been attended by a disgrace- |
ful transaction the result of the vicious
system before alluded to, in which we
are bappy to know Mr. Alexander is en
tirely exempt and had no agency what
eve. The disreputable transaction to i
which we merely allude, rest* entirely i
tietween the candidates or their repre '
sentatives, of Clinton and Clearfield,
which will probably lead to legal investi
gation and forever stain the record of
the men engaged in it as unworthy
representatives of a great party, wliode.
sire no machine work in which money or
dishonor.-sb'e truckstering forms the ba
sis. The disgrace thus entailed upon
the parly, rests with Clinton and Clear
field for its proper treatment U|x>n the
parties participating. It is just to Mr.
Flynn to say that he was absent, and
unless the impropriety committed was
the result of previous arrangement,
may not have been personally responsi
ble for the act of those conducting his
ransa*. Put thisis for him to explain.
Mr. Caldwell, however, was present, and
if the fscts are not dilOrent from what
has been represented to us, his record
| certainly is not clear and al>ovn suspi
cion. If, as has been stated, he invited
reimbursement for withdrawing from
the canvas in favor of the nomination
of Mr. Flynn, and then using that as a
means to enforce his own nomination,
then his conduct was reprehensible.
Put this may not be correct. For his
sake as well as for the sake of the peo.
people who honored him, we hope ii is
not. The noble Democracy of Clinton ;
are the last people in the Common
wealth who would justify and sustain a
trickster.
Put however the facts may be between
the parties implicated, Mr Caldwell in
his article published in the Ari/y Jour
nal, ol Dock Haven, on Saturday las',
said "There is not a breath of suspicion
against Mr. Alexander who knew noth
ing of the affair until informed by Mr.
Caldwell." We might add that from
the. published statements of both Mr.
Caldwell and Mr Flynn "there is not a
i breath of suspicion" against Mf. Alex'
i ander's conferees, and therefore the
i nomination being made "without a
breath of suspicion" being attached to
him or the conduct of lift cofifere,
why should it not stand unchallenged?
if, aa it ia believed that the County
committee of the several rountiea are to
be convened to deliberate on the sub
ject, we see no reason why Mr. Alexan
der should be a victim of irregularities
in which he bad no concern.

Respectfully. etc.,
KORXRT K. PATTISON.
TO .TARES IRW IN, Esq.
This denial is supported by the report
of the speech male by Mr. Pattison, as
published in the 7 \mrt, the I'rttt, the
11/mri and the Is igtr at the time of it*
delivery. .
In this the hand of Itoss who
degrades the office of secretary of Stale
is plainly seen. Wholesale falsehood
and dishonorable method* constitute
the capital lie relies upon. He has
practiced it before and had the same
sneaking, cowardly curs to peddle hi* |
lie* among the Irish citizens. He did
no when Hill was a candidate and hi*
subservient tool* were then a* now I te
tany and Gallagher, and for which ser
vice they nre retained in position* at
Harrisburg and fed on the plunder \
stolen from the people. The Irish citi 1

character of these scoundrel* ar.d know
just whit credit to give the n. It will

" The ordinary expenditure f >r State

Thi* af'er the wr's close was annually

being more than the entire co*t in lftfiO

The Keveiinea nud Debt.
- The proposition of Senator .lone*, <f

1 of taxation, n* (o both the tnrifTand in.
t'-rnal revenue, for the purpose of ex
tingilishing the | tihlic debt at the rar
i lies' | to, si Lie tlaie, would meet with fa
i vor in many quarter* if it were possible
i to go on to the end with the immediate
| application of surplus revenue pi the
redemption of bonds. There is unde
! niably a strong public sentiment in fav- j
jor of getting out of debt. The theory !
j that a national debt is n blessing doe* ;
not obtain to any considerable extent
in tb. country, ar.d we have no doubt
! that the day on which the lat of our
j bonds is paid will be a • i.*v of public
rejoicing in < v- ry part of the country.
but t hi re i* one fatal ol j>-< tionlo Sen
ator .1 ones' programme, and although
tie hints at s- me devtce for removing it

-1 lieve that a practicable an I acceptable

i Lie in three instalments. The fir*i of

$250.1)00 000 will not be ilue until 1 Kit 1
j —nine year* ; the third of $7.Ti,R84,.K)0 j
j will no! be due untill l'.K(7—twenty five '
j years.
Last year our surplus over and above
ill appropriation* for ordinary and ex
tradordinury purpose* was nearly $152,-
1)00 00, and thi* amount was used in re
deeming our bond*. The revenues are j
rapidly increasing, tho increase of la-t |
year over the previous yrar being $!3,- j
OtlO.OOii. It i* Iwlieved that the surplus I
thi* year will be shout $200.0n0.00n. At
tin* rale tbe matured bond, $f t'i OOO.OCO
will be paid by ISfls, leaving six ;
year* to le'.U lefore we cm touch ;
! the second instalment of $250 ,00u 000
except at the mercy of the holders.
Tbe people would not consent to the
offer of a bonus to induce the bondhold
ers to accept premature payment.
Hire, then, would be six year* with
surplus accumulating, or being reckless- j
j ly and corruptly squandered, at the rate
of probably $200,000,000. And when
the end of six year* should come, we J
should hsve only $250,000,000 within |
i reach, but lilte more than a year's sur
plus; less, in fact, than the surplus of
year at that lime at the present rate
l of increase. Then will come sixteen
year* to 1907 when the last and greatest
installment, S73H,CM.-TOO of four |ar
cent*, will be at government option.
During all Ihti time we must either
squander our enormou* revenue* or pro
duce universal ruin by locking up so
i va*t a volume of currency.
It must be evident to even dull com
i prehension that our only course is to re
duce the revenues, and the reduction
must be no cheese paring experiment.

A roxr*R*Ncx of the Greenback Labor
party, so called, we are informed was
held in this place on Monday !a*t, and
place,! a Mr. (.'base, of Clearfield county,
in nomination for State Senator. This
being a mere side show of the Cameron
machine menagerie, and the nnminn
tion made after consultation with the
Hiss' trusty lieutenant and local agent
here, wo conclude that* Mr. Chase is tbe
chosen champion to lead the coalition
in the rsoe against the Democracy of
the 3|lh District. The admonition of
II the said treaty Lieutenant Itoss to the
conferees to "do your part and we well
will do ours," wa* doubtless very en
couraging, hut the best they can do will
not swell the ring majority in the Senate
j from this district.
THX Independent Republican* now
claim that the vole for tbe Independent
. ticket is assured to exceed that of tbe
machine ticket, and that the only lioj e
for Republican success this fall is in the
election of Stewart for Governor. This
[ is undoubtedly true, but even that is
I hopeless, as the |eople of I'ennsylvania

- Tnr Independent Republican* held a
| mass meeting in Doylestown on Thur*
' day, at which Gen. Koontz and Tho*.
M. Marshall were lb* )>rincipal sj-eakcrs.
j They both handled the f'amr-ron ring
j without gloves. We quote from the
brief report of the T.mtt
' Gen. Koootz asserted that there has
not been a Republican State Con rent inn
|in tbe last fifteen years where the
! nominees were not the cho re of the
people, but that the nominations were
made beforehand by <'anieron and his
petty henchmen in a room in iheLocbiel
llotel, at liarfisburg. There was no
place in this State, he said, for master
and slave, and the Independent* in
tended to stand up like men until the
system of |fer#onal dictation in politic*
was stam|>ed out forever from the an
nals of the State. General KoonUspoke
over an hour.
"Mr. Marshall followed in a speech of
over an hour's duration and when be
stepped to the front of the stage he wa
greeted by a storm of applause. III*
sfseecb was a plain, vigorous and earne*t
effort. He denounced Cameron and
hia political methods in term* of un
measure,! ssventy. S.nron Cameron, he
said, wa* courageous, cunning and
smooth as a kid glove, while Ikin bad
been in politics so long that he looked
dowQ on the people in disdain. The
manner of Rawle'a nomination for Su
preme Judge seemed particularly odious
to Mr. Marshall. 'lkin Cameron,' said
Mr. Marshall, 'bribed the delegate* to
that convention for William Henry
Hawle and I am re*|>onaihle for what I
say when I make thi* assertion. Alto
. gether that wa* a queer convention.
The head i* here to-night seated upon

General Lear. 'So is the tail,' said the
■ speaker, buttoning up his eoat and
drawing himself up in a defiant attitude.
'lt is not often you see th* head and

parts of the organisation. The dele

II arki \\ niTt is again the Republican
candidate for Goongres* in the twenty
sixth district, and it i reported is in dan
ger that his party will run away from
him and elect the other fellow.
THE absenoe of the President from
bis official duties at the seat of govern
ment for two or three months, is of little
importance to the {-eople, but when all
the cabinet and bead officials are also
absent on political junketing, it don't
look well.
Arroavrv Gtar.iui. Hat WSTEK is on the
stump. He made a speech in Philadel
phia on Saturday evening last, in which
he denounced -Senator Mitchell as
an ingrate, and made a strong appeal
m favor of the bossism of Don Came •
ron and the elect ion of Gen. Leaver.
THESE is much said in the paper.
about the comet splitting up into parta.
Nothing remarkable in this. It is only
following the example of the Republi
can party, and probably, like the
; "grand old party" has became so rotten,
corrupt and tyrannic*! in its progress,
that it could not hold together.
Boas Qt;xr, it appears, has become
: chief engineer of the Cameron machine.
Cooper baring done the dirty work and
collected the corruption plunder, tbe
experienced and accomplished Quay it
called in to put it where it will accom
plish the best results for the Loaa ticket.
He is an adept in the business, and if
Gen Leaver is not elected under his
methods, it will be because this year tbe
market it not healthy for machine pro
! ducts.
Tut tails to Loss tickets this year
seems to have Wen very insecurely at
tached. First the machine ticket of
Pennsylvania lost its nether extremity
by the withdrawal of Mr. Marshall, and
now the machine ticket of Sew York
is destitute of thai appendage by tbe
refusal of Mr. Hepburn to accept tbe
nomination of Congressman atdarge.
From the refusal of prominent gentle*
men'tci lend tbrmselvr* in the repara
tion of damage, it is natural to ooncluwfe
that the fimnrnt f.mily do not els m
residence in that Ktata.
