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.

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.
