Thursda* Moraine, November, 16. 1882. IT is said that President Arthur who •was at the New York election, voted for three of the candidates on the tick et, and discarded the balance, who did n 0 t come up to his stalwart ideas, of perfect politics. THE Greenback party is defunct. The roll of the next House of Repre sentatives will not show the name of a single man who was elected as a Green hacker. That party had candidates in the field all over the country but jione of them were elected. . THOMAS A. ARMSTRONG, says the Piltalnirg Dinpatcli, cxpresea disgust at the manuer of treatment he has receiv ed from the workingmen of the State. The workiugmen just got a little ahead of him. That's all. The fullfilment of his contract with the bosses depend, ed too much upon the stupidity of the vrorkiugmen, aud they declined to t stupefy. Mr. Armstrong and the work men are about quits so far as disgust are concerned. THE Government clerks nt Wash ington and elsewhere, tbe scrub women and other necessitous laborer! for I ti de Sam' must sympathize very ardent ly with the misfortune* that overcome .Hubbell, Robeson, Don Cameron aud other managers of tbe "Grand Old Party" iu tbe late election. Who now are to levy their stipens or "vol untary contributions" Tom Cooper canuot do it, even with tbe assistance of Boss Quay. They are all in the same boat on the rough sea with very limited chances of return. IT is said < Joveruor Pattison ha* ap pointed as bis private secretary the Rev. Dr. Tlionia* T. Everett, pa-tor of St. Stephen's Methodist Episcopal Church, 4621 Grrmantown avenue, Pliila. and that he will accept the po sition. This is Mr. Pattison'* first ap pointment. He and Dr. Everett have known each other for about five years. Their relations have lieen of the nnst intimate character and entirely dis tinct from politics. J>r. Everett was mentioued a short while ago as a con gressional candidate in the I ifth dis trict against Harnier. He declined to run, however. Explaining how his name got connected with the candidacy he said that iu sevei.il -erirtnos which he preached he pointed out tlieiwccs-i --ty for the overthrow of the Ixw-e* aud for thorough reform. The private sec retary of the govern'* receives a sala ry in all of a year —$'i.fitMl as secretary and #">00 as recorder for the Board of Pardons. TRUE patriotism is shown in tho quiet words of Mr. Pattison expressed from his official desk iu Control lers office the day after the election, to those who called to congratulate him upon the result.' He said: "I regard the result as a victory of the,people against party oppresaiou. I do not look upou it as a partisan triumph. If the Democratic party shows itself true to the peoples' interest a majority of i the people will continue to give it their - confidence. Yesterday's results show conclusively that the people are willing to try the Democratic party in this emergency and have given it a vote of confidence. It is for the Democratic parly to appreciate and honor that trust. If it should prove recreant and fail to meet the peoples' expectations thp confidence now felt in it will be withdrawn. Ho long as the successful party, no matter what party it may be, shows itself carefal and anxious for the urgent interests of the people, so long will it have the peoples' confi dence, but no longer. I think all friends of pure and popular govern ment should be gratified at the gene ral result both in and out of Pennsyl- The Victory and its Lesson. The great victory achieved by the people in the late election —"the most overwhelming ever gained at the bal lot box" is so stated ami its lessons so so clearly drawn by (Sen Davis of the Doyelstown Democrat, that we trail-' fer his remarks to the DEMOCRAT as reflecting our own sentiments. "For mer Republican majorities were swept away with case, and congressmen and legislators elected as if by magic. It was, in every sense, a revolution. The meaning of this political revolu tion is apparent. The people have be come tired of tbe corrupt rule of the Republican party, and resolved to place power once more in the hands of of the Democrats. Rut the lesson of the victory docs not cud here; it is above and beyond this simple signifi cance. It means, likewise, that the people lick to the Democratic party to give them good government. The reforms they demand must he granted, otherwise the power will he transferred to other hands. The people arc not in a mood to stnnd any political shenane gnu ; they will insist upon the execu tion of the bond. If there be any de fault ; any failure to carry out the pledges made, the people, who now thoroughly know their strength in the ballot, will again rise up and turn out of power their unfaithful servants. The Democratic party will l>e allowed to manage public affairs as long as they deserve it, and not a day longer. If it shall become corrupt, and fail to ad minister affairs in the interest of the people, it will meet the same fate that has overtaken the Republican party. In the election of Mr. Pattison, to the office of Governor of Pennsylvania the people have done well. His re cord in tho Controller's office is a guarantee of what may be expected of him. The people may rely upon it that he will correct every abuse that can be reached ; arid if good govern ment l>e possible, he will give it. He may be called tho child of the people and in him thc-y may put their trust, lie wa* born of reform, and reform will he ilie key-note of his admini-tra (ration.. The Democratic party uevcr occu pied a prouder position than today. It i the only party iu the world able to -tnnJ the defeats of a quarter of a rentury, and at each succeeding battle present a united front to the enemy. There i* no stronger evidence of its strength and fidelity to principles. The Ifemocraiic is thcpnrly of coun try. It was lh.ru whin the Constitu union was cradled, and {frontthnt ,dav to this, through good and evil reports, it has stood by it, a* the anchor of its hopes. In the future, ns in the |>a*t, that -acred instrument will le careful ly guarded. They, who iielieve the result of the elections solely a Democratic victory, fail to appreciate its true inwarducss. It was, in tho broadest, and deepest, sen.-e a victory of the people over laws machine rule, and is notice that they will have no more of it. We hope no Democrat will belittle the great achieve nient by claiming it a partisan victory; such conduct is an attempt to rob it of it* greatest moral force. The result proves there is a reserVe force of pat riotic voters behind the politicians, who love their country better than party, and who will come to the front when necessary to rescue it from cor rupt rule. When they speak through the ballot, their voice is not misunder stood." THE official returns of the late *'*°- tion in this county will be found on the fourth page of this paper. In the haate of publ shing last week the returna as given were necessarily incomplete. If our Republican friends can find com fort in them, we at hut cad afford to congratulate them upon the enjoyment. Oor.

I'aUiaoii's Prophecy. Returning Ironi Alexandria ypstorday altPinonn a reporter for the Pott recog nized among the passengers on the boat Hon. Robert K. I'attison, the Democrat ic Governor-elect of Pennsylvania, who had lieen receiving the congratulations of hie mother ati(l eieter, the latter the wife of Mr. George B. Carlin of that city, lion Jauie* J. Gordon, State senator of Pennsylvania, Mr. W. B. Smooland Mr. t'arlin ace mpunied Governor i'attieon, who was en route for the 4:20 train to Philadelphia. HP in a tall, well built man of IV) pounds, dark hair, tnous tsiche, eyes and skin. In his hand was his sole travelling haggnge, a courier's satchel. He was dressed in a dark suit, with light fall overcoat and I>.-rby list. His thirty two years of relive bu-ln<-* and political life have left their mark in a grave Gee, (en years older. After congratulating the fortunate candidate '/'/i< /'<-•' proceeded to interrogate him upon the recent rivival of Democracy in the Kevatone and < ther Slates. "The victory," aid G iv. I'attison, "is one of the ( eople over the ho-es The result in Pennsylvania was due not so much to the Republican dimensions as to the popular demand for good govern ment and disgust with machine rule It is an uprising no le* iigi.tiM tlie Re publican than against the Hemocratic machine." "What will he the practical results in your State ?" "Simply an administration in accord with the |>enplo; in other words, a good government and gil that it means for those who have been mismanaging the affairs of the State." " How about the died of the present vrtnrv upon the result in I**4? ' "If the Itemocrats meet Itie people of the nation and give them the adntinit tration they demand, they will probably sustain their success. Tliis wi]l not de |>end entirely upon the action of the |>ar ty in Congress. The States now in new Democratic harne* will be watched by the people and a l<etter government than the one that has been dismissed expected. The people ate demanding good government, that is all there is about it, and the party that will give it to them will be in power herealter." "Was the result anything of a surprise to you t" "I expected success. We hare been working aide by aide with the Indepen dents to overthrow misrule and have succeeded. The people want to return - to the simplicity and economy of the ' early government."' , "How about the management of mnn oj-olies ?" "Well, these must be interfered with only so far RS they interfere with the people in their effort at self govern ment." "You spoke of working with the In dependents. Will that alliance be maintained in 1884 T" "There is no alliance to maintain." "Wil, suppose that a candidate, hitherto Republican, should he notnina ted by the Democrats and Independenta bow would Pennsylvania vote?" "That is looking a little too far ahead speculating on candidate*. But if the Independents are still strisiog for the suns end as we are, then I see no rea son why we should not vote for the same candidate. Just ao far aa the par lies meet the demands of the people wiil make themselves heard and fell before tbat lime." "llow about the tariff iaauc in Penn sylvania ?" "Well the man who raised hia hand against the industrial of the .State by advancing free trade had better hang a millstone about hia neck and jump into the sea." Governor I'attison made connection with the train and started for hia new duties followed by the hearty good wishes of hia friends in this section.

In fact, all the officials and employes, from Cabinet ministers down to floor scrubber" snd wslcr boy*, will understand that noamouut of mnn ey can avert disaster, and will feel that any contribution, voluntary or involun lary, would be thrown sway.
