SENATOR .HIIKRMAN and Murat IlaL

IT is announced that .Secretary Fol

doubtful chance of occupying a govern
ment residence at Albany. Ilia reason
that he desires to make the annual re

entirely satisfactory. He certainly ought
g not to go to Albany.
ARMSTRONG, the Greenback Labor
candidate for Governor, who is also a
Republican, and running aa a conting
ent of the Cameron-machine ticket,
when in this section gave marked at
tention to labor Democrats—urging
them to be firm for the Greenback labor
ticket. The Republicans of that per
suasion could be spared. They can Vote
the machine |icket proper, and atill
receive the plaudits and prayers of Mr.
Armstrong as good and faithful ser

Working Men Should Refloat.
In view of tho industrial condition in
| Pennsylvania during, the present year,
, the broken promises made and tho de
l ceit practiced on formerocciion ought
| to deter Democratic workingmen from
giving aid and comfort, either directly
I or indirectly to the Cameron machine,
, They have certainly not forgotten the
(appeal* of the manufacturer* in IS3O.
I that "Garfield'* election mean* higiier
wages and steady work ; Hancock'*
election mean* lower wages or idleness."
i This i tho way it was put by certain
| manufacturer* who were devoted parti
I >an* of the Cameron machine. How
was this pledge kept? Let the condi
tion of labor during the last year an
swer. Thousands of workingmen were
idle, and in many quarter* in want- j
Wages have not kept pace with the in
creased cot of living, although the
bountiful harvests give promise these
conditions may be improved—in the
j future.
' Remembering these facts, wo canmw
( soo how Republican or Democratic j
' workingmen can be induced to come to j
' iho relief of the Cameron machine. It
j is undoubtedly in distress because peo- ,
pie will no longer submit to its corrupt I
and tyrannical rule; but it should look
(or relief only to those who have profit
ed by its long possession of power.
Certainly not the workingmen, who |
have been deluded by promises and '
whose present or past idleness is proof j
of the way these promise# have been
wrecked by the very men who are at
the head of the Cameron machine
We make no class appeal for the votes
of workingmen. Let them vote as their
judgment commands, but it is a duty to
warn workingmen against a repetition
of the same sort of trickery and false
hood by which they were defrauded of
the honest expression of their senti- '
merits at the elections of 187* and ISHO. j
Chairman Cooper has been boasting
gleefully that the Labor-Greenback j
ticket can be manipulated to help
Heaver. To a newspaper reporter be
declared Armstrong's support will be
drawn mainly from the Democrats. In
1878 played that game successful
ly. He hired men to organize Green
back lodges and paid bis agents to get
Democrats to vote the third ticket
while their Republican associates, by
prearrangement, voted for Hoyt. That
sebefne succeeded because it was work
ed secretly. The plot to belrny the
Labor cause this year has been exposed.
The honest candidates and leaders in
that cause will not allow themselves to j
be sold out.
THE visit of Mr. PATTDON last
week to the northern tier of counties,
ha* been a grand ovation from the
time he left Philadelphia. At every
point lie was sal uteri by the people
with enthusiasm, to whom he made
brief, but telling speeches, each one of
which different from the other, ami
affording (natter for serious reflection
upon the important issues directly in
volved in the canvass. One remarka
ble feature of Mr. l'attison's speeches
is, that what he says is said under
standing! y and in earnest, and appeal*
direct to the understanding and judg
ment of the hearer. He will probably
not make "sixty speeches" in the cam*
paign, hut judging from the specimens
thus far, there will be something in
them and nothing disguised.
THE Philadelphia TIMES on Friday
last makes a powerful appeal to Sena,
tor Cameron in favirof the Republi
can party. It invites the boss to with
draw the machine ticket and turn in
and elect John Stewart, as the only
possible means of saving the "grand
old party" from the disaster which has
just overwhelmed it in Ohio. It is
good advice hut the boss does not al
ways profit by good advice, and it is
not probable that he will do so now,
besides it is somewhat late in the sea
son, and Don may eome to the con
clusion that he may as well have his
brains knocked out on dry land, as to
he drowned in croesing a stream.
THE New York World thinks our
Republican friends ought not to tor
row as without hope over the news
from Ohio. Keifer is safe, and they
have drawn a prize in the lottery of
indamiMtion.

I'.KLLEKONTK, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER, If), 1882.
Tho Clana in Doubt.
—-
Tlio overwhelming defeat of the ,
Republican party in Ohio, has again
started up the discussion leading to
the retirement of (Jen. 1 leaver and
John Stewart from the canvass for
(Jovernor, and the substitution of a
new man. Tbe man to whom those
most prominent in the movement are
looking as the Moses to lead tin- di*-
cordant hordo from the defeat so ap"
parent to all, exeept perhaps to (Jen.
Heaver) is said to he Judge Siroup,
late of tbe Supreme Court of tin; Coi
led States. The e >ti< 1 itim of the K -
publienn party is indeed despcrnt<-
but not one whit more so than it was
four mouths ugo. It is not tailing to :
. .
pieces by party detection in anv parti
cular locality, but by the general
cussedin -s and corruptions—the in
famous disregard of decency which
has mad" law and rigiit and everv
[ priuciple of the republican govern-
I merit subordinate to tbe greed of the
rnpaeioua crew tor plunder and ja.wer-
The substitution of Judge Strong can.
not save them in Pennsylvania. Ili
record is not so savory n to disarm
the peoph cf the jus! resentmetrt which j
i the oorruptions of the Repuhlicnu
i baders, ami tbe Repuhliean adminis
tration have failed to conceal. It i
j idle to hope that any man, much lie*
1 a worn out judge can arrest the |>end.
I ing doom. The decree has gone forth |
and it in irrcvokable that calls Koiii:kt
j E. Pattison to the reform work of ,
restoring the government of the State
| to hoii'st and economical administra
tion. His magnificent succow in
[ bringing order and pros|a-rity out of
confusion and despair in the city of
Philadelphia, commend* him to the
people of Pennsylvania n* the man
needed to restore the State and rescue
it from the same vandals who plunder
ed and degraded the civil ndmini-tra"
lion of the city government, until the
people call, d the young, but energetic
and talented reformer to the control*
b-r's office. Robert E. Patliaon i- to
be the in xt (Jovernof of Pennsylvania,
no matter whether Heaver and Stew
art femaius in the field, single or j
double, or retire* to give place to Mr.
Expediency, all tbe same.
j Qi At al ** ti stegjr in tbe ecnties of
I the (Jrecobsek-I/sbor vote, *.*y the
1 I'hll.vJr't bu 7imo of Salurd ijr is rap

t< John It. Bit trough tin for ezro-.rtion, I
and bis contract is to organize the I.*, j
bor party, gather a thousand or so Item- J
ocratir voters ii * 4 t and take tboae |
votes from l'attiaon, wliile the Uepubli
can l,abor votes are to !*• left out ot the !
organisation to vote for Bearer. In or
der to tnske (tie work more promising,
a Labor county ticket bat been ordered
by Cameron and Quay in Luzerne, and
Birmingham will obey orders, taking
care to save Cameron legislator# as far
ns posible. Tbe Cameron-Quay -Bir
mingham Luzerne Convention will meet
today, and Armstrong, candidate for
(Jovernor, is to be there in perton to
help the Cameron programme through.
Armatrong teems to be no longer work
ing to rally the I,at>or vote on himtelf,
but bit elFortt are directed to get Dem
ocratic latbor men diverted from Fafti
ton, while Republican Labor men are
not expected or detired to desert Ilea
ver. This game waa played very sue
cetsfully by Quay in IB7H to elect Hoyt
and a Cameron legislature, but the La
bor votet have learned much since then,
and most of them don't propose to be
cheated twice by tbe same BOM and
tbe same Bos* method. IfQnay doeen't
change his trap for the Demncratio La
bor men, he should at least change tba
bait.
As a justification of*the general use
of tbe patronage of the Government to
debase and control the elections of the
country the Republican* are publishing
a forged letter *aid to be written by
President Buchanan to William 11.
Knglish, of Indiana, offering to aid Mr,
Knglish in securing his election to Con
gress by the dispensation of patronage
in such a manner aa would do the moat
good. The Indianapolis .Ses/iW of the
11th inst. brand* the letter a forgery and
adduoes proof to substantiate d* asser
tion.
Purify the Legislature.

the business can go on for ten years,

less room for fraud. A "freeh" official
caught a coal dealer delivering 1,200
pounds to the ton some year* ago. The

on thissubject and elect men with brains
to ee this stealing and courage to fight
it.
'lll IM\S Hi( KI.EY, a coal miner, made
a short speech the other day at llszle
lon on the ocra-ion of the passage of '
lioheM L. Pattison through thai place
and which had attracted a large crowd
animus to get a sight of their next Gov
eruor. Mr. Huckley, with the rich
brogue peculiar to Lin nationality refer

Irish Democratic vote set in motion by
Ho** tfusy, now in command of the
Cameron machine, said, "Overture* had

The out-put of Republican respecta

GOVERNOR FOSTER, of Ohio, before
