HON. B. F. Meyer*, of the Harrisburg
Patriot, in a speech delivered at M'Con
nellaburg, Fulton county, struck a dis
tinct State issue, which Gen. Beaver
may study with profit when he make*
up hi* mind to discuss issues having
direct bearing in the present canvas*.
Mr. Meyers declared that "during the
twenty one years of republican control
of the State government the revenues
were sufilcient to have paid off the en
tire principal of the state debt with a
surplus of S'.i,OOO,(KM). To prove thi* a*
sertion Mr. Meyers presents the figure*
as contained in the auditor general *
otEre, and to make the case the strong
er allows amply for the increase in
school, judiciary and other expenses in
cidental to the increased and improved
service in those branches, as well as
other changes caused by the adoption
of the new constitution. General Bea
ver would do well to orerhaul these
figures as complied from the records by
Mr. Meyers and give them hi* attention.
Much diversion would probably prove
less exhilarating than trotting nround
the race track, but the loss in that par
ticular would find compensation in the
mental discipline which it would insure-
Running the I'iiblfr llu*lne*s.
A statement l>efore u* concerning the j
Governmental Departments at Wash
ington in 1817 shows that those Depart
menls then numbered twenty-one. In
these twenty one offices there were em
ployed on salaries 257 persons ; of these i
202 were clerks and twenty-three mes
sengers. Forty five of these clerks anil I
messengers were foreigners by birth
twenty-one Irish, tse te Englishmen,
four Scotchmen, three Swedes, two
Hermans, one Russian, one foreigner
from Tortola and one from Bermuda.
The salaries paid this force of officers
and clerks amounted in the aggregate
to $351,887 a year.
This statement is interesting when
brought in comparison with the present
Governmental clerical force alone at
Washington, which numbers in the ag
gregate between 12,000 and 15,000 per
sons, whose salaries aggregate twelve or
filleen millions. This at Washington,
and not including the great official list. J
In 1817 the receipts of the Government
were $15,000,000, and the net ordinary
expenses about $16,.V*),0*1. Now the'
receipts are about $400,000 000 and the
ex|>eiiditures about $.'>00,000,00, but the
difference in the amount of the Govern- j
mental business does not at all justify
the force now employed at Washington.
The business ol the Government at
Washington conld be thoroughly tran
sacted by 2500 persons; yet to day in
the Interior department alone there
are employed about 2000 persons on the
clerical force. A very large percentage
of these Federal employes are, of course. !
in position on political grounds.
The patroiAge is the great source of
strength of llie Republican party, whose
moral strength long ago evaporated.
The multiplication of the departmental
clerical force at the National Capital ia
a burden on the tax payers, for whose
existence no valid reason can be given.
If, sixty-five years ago, the business of
the Government could be satisfactorily
performed by 257 persons in the de
partments, ten times that number of in
dustrious persons, who would work a*
person* in commercial business work,
could accomplish all the Federal busi
ness at theXapital. The Federal busi
ness must he conducted on legitimate
business principles, Iwith at Washington
and elsewhere. To accomplish this i*
the object of civil service reform. If the
democratic party should obtain control
of th* Government the country will ex
ited it to do the public business on
business principles. Whatever may lie
said about democratic corruption id
ante bullum times, the public business
was generally conducted on solid busi
ness principles. To day we learn from
the lips of a Republican leader, and a
lower Cabinet officer, concerning the
Republican party ; "Ita first principle
is the spoils system; Its next principle
is the boas system." Under such prin
ciples we can look for nothing but
bureaucratic centralisation.

How Beaver Bus Nominated,
Chairman Cooper has lately sent out
a circular intended to show how Hlew
art wa nominated. The following from
the American, a Republican paper of
high character in rhiladelphin, tell* eg
aclly how Heaver was nominated, and
nobody knows it better than Cooper:
"Senator Cameron 'slated* General
Beaver for the Governorship. 'Colonel
Quay agreed to the arrangement. Word
was sent throughout the State that tho
'slate' had been made, and tbeumwer
ing voices of approval came like a stal
wart chorus from every creature anil
agent of the 'machine.' The terms of
praise for Gen. Beaver wereeven-formti
luted ; every 'machine' man told in the
same word* what a Christian gentleman
he was. It was at this time that Gen.
Beaver went to Washington. His can
didacy thus arranged with Mr. Cameron,
involved tho withdrawal of other men.
notably Mr. Cooper. The latter wen*
to Washington, likewise, t* learn wheth
er he might or might not be a candi- ;
date, and he was, a* be candidly told '
the newspaper men when he returned,
ordered to 'stand aside for the present,,
the nomination having been tin* year
conferred upon General Beaver. Coop 1
er, therefore, came home with u blank, j
Beaver with a prize. Cooper, unfortu
nately for his hopes, ha* a 'kicker' i hio
tv. 11 sent a Blaine delegate to Chica
go, who stubbornly resisted the eon t
.piracy by which General Grant was to
be nominated for a third term, in spite j
of the wishes of the Republican State*. <
But Beaver went to Chicago himself, j
front bis county, and, misrepresenting i
the people of lu* district and of the !
State, joined heartily in the c nspiracy 1
of which Coukling and Cameron were
the chief organizers. He eurncd then j
hi* brazen medal, and he earned tho
nomination for Govenor that hnd been
denied him in I.H7H. When, therefore,
he repaired to Washington, almost a
year before the election of 1 ss_', nod j
hastened to the presence of Mr. ("atner
on, he went (imply to receive a new a* j
suranee that tho old one would be* |
kept.''

"If Hancock is elected, this estab
lishment will close." "If yon want
your iron mill* closed, and a 1 industries ,
dependent upon them brought to a
stand still, vote lor Hancock."
The above express*ions were common .
in Republican papers in I*.V), and many
workmgmen were frightened and de- I
reived into voting the Republican ticket
at that time. Ilnucock was not elected ,
but Garfield wa-. and what ha been the i
result? Have "belter wages" followed
I his election? No; the miners of this
i country are getting only '.mi cents per
!dny now. Has "steady wont" been
"assured" to the men m the iron m Ha
and elsewhere? No; there are now
i one hundred and fitly thousand tifen in
| "general idleness," and who did not
; roach tin* pitiable condition by theelec
' tion of General Hancock. The roseate

I General Garfield have not come, but in

Purlin for Congress.
The democrat* of Ibis 20lb congres
sional district are entitled to commen
dation lor tl e discretion they have
showed in renominating ex Gov. A. G
t'urtio. And now the <pi>-*twn very
naturally arises, ha* Ins course in con
gress been such as would commend him
to the people of Ins district for a re
election 7 We are ftnly prepared to
say it has. And to mi -,*tnli>:le this
assertion we t.oint <*tth special prid to
two item*: When the < ( ue<.tMiii ol re
stricting the import tlioii of Chinese
into this country came up for considers
lion Mr. Curtiti made one of the strong
est spew-he-" in favor of ilia restriction
that was delivered upon the lloor of
congress. In Ibis he echoed our senti
merits and we believe endeared himself
to every man in America < specially he
who earn* lit* bread by the sweat ol his
brow. And fie voted as he spoke. Later
in the session, when thai which is of
most vital importance to every tax pay
er come up, namely, the propriety, nay,
the necessity, of kn -clung off all super
fluous revenues, in order that a btirae •
some taxation night tn- taken off' the
shoulders of the people, and especially
tire poorer classes, we again find ex Gov.
Curtiu at Die hunt of the niov • nient,
and in dnfending the project made a
telling speech, and one that wit* full of
prudence and practicability. We might
reler tn other occasions where Mr. Cur
tin distinguished himself h a national
representative and statesman, but it is
hardly necessary so to do. lie has rep
resented this district with honor to
himself and a credit to his constituency,
ami we are confident that lie will he
returned to congress by a much larger
majority fhan was given him two years
ago. No Democrat or even Republican
should have a hesitancy about support
ing such a worthy representative. No
man understand* national matters bel
ter than ex Governor Curtin, therefore
send iiim hack to congress with sirhetan
tial endorsement of hi* merit* for the
position so acceptably heretofore filled.
•~ljfuiutown Fre** l'rt**.
Tut Philadelphia thieves who shared
Phippa' plunder have sent him money
to keep him in Canada until after the
election. He knows too much for thair
safety. Besides, Cooper can sflord to
furnish bitn some relief out of the as
sessment which he paid the Republican
State Committee before he took his
hasty departure.
