and just it might seem, yet the
table result Would -,be, that a
strong districts would have sup
pirrti:mtleranceof votes as to leaf
the danger of fg,noring and outt
the small districts, encouragititet
amongst the former
creating local dissatisfaction and sec•
tional jealousy in the latter. Under
the presestplan, - although they align
boroughs luti - e an equal voice with
the amore - populous tows, yet we have
never heard it made a cause of com
plaint liy the large towns. It appears
to us that the experience of many
years proves that the equal represen
tation of the election distficts, in
Shaping - , the action of the paity and
nominating the candidates, has pro.
motet' giiod feeling, and prevented
such action as might justly. have
caused dlisatisfaction and trouble.
This proposed change . is treated
tig if the people were ignored in
the primaries, and as if a Convention
d oes not, or cannot, be a reflex of the
popular will. While we are 'ready to
Admit that the delegate'aystem is not
perfect,' yet, whenever it is sbUsed, it
is hecause the voters dO bot!and will
not attend the primaries.. If there
was a general attendance of voters'
at the caucus, there Would not .be
any growlings and complaints, and
unjust beliefs 'in the .existence of an
tmdetined • ring." The evils which'
are perpetrated are not incident to
the system, but thek . proceed from
the apathy and neglect Of the voters.
Would the adoption oflthe Crawford
County System -remedy-theie eiits?
We.cannot see how; and on the oth
er hand. the method is complex, and
every step susceptible to fraudulent
practices. If the people will not at•
tend the primaries, and thtis correct
the i vils of which comi)laint is now
made. we cannot see how the adop
tion Of the proposed plan is to bring
about any. hettet state of affairs.
Certainly the experience of 'counties
that, have adopted the Crawford
County System, does not show. that
it promotes the morals lof the party,
nor contribute to '4 iiermanent
strength. Whenever the People are
' awake, and attend the primaries, the
evils are cured,- and in times of apa
thy and indifference, there,' is more
opportunity for dishonesty 'by means
of the Crawford County system than
iby any-other plan yet deviSed. Hole
frauds - are perpetrated it 'is easy to
show., but space does not . allow - us
• •
now to into' that branch of - the
subject. As we have before said, we
have decided opinions adverse to the
proposition to adopt the Crawford
County system here ; a
.! jUdgment
which has been f6rmed after careful
inquiry of those familiar; with the
system elsewhere. The result of our
inquiries his been that unanimously
those cl;Visulted have declared that
=
the system was a failure'—that it
multiplied Candidates—that it.ofFered
a premium for corrupt practices—
that it caused dissatisfaction, ' by'
making nominees of candidates who
did not receive one-tenth of the Re 7
publicantvotes±that it was so com
plicated in its machinery as to be
cumbersome and difficult to execute,
and that it did not.; in any manner,
remedy any of the grievances which
are complained of . liS being incident
to primary elections.
The Proposition to apply the Craw- 1
ford County System to the nomina
tions this fall, is' .. - misclavous, and
impracticable. There is.'not sufficient
time. afterthe Convention;Shall have
met 'to arrange the details. Direct
voting requires all the machineryof
a general election= polling places
and oflicers, poll books, lists of 0-
ters, and tally and return papers;
it is also customary to ffiriaish each
district with the ball - Ots This makes:
it necessary to have from ;each can
didatti a for Mal notice of his candi
dacy, accompanied generally by a'
written pledge to abide by. the result.
and support the candidate who shall
be . declared nominated. TO say noth
ing of , the discontent which would
be created, it is simply impossible , to
1 perfect a plan which makes such a
radical change, and- is so complicated
in its details, and have it successful
ly carried out in the short time Which
now remains. If the change should
be made, there should be ample time
and oppOrtunity afforded to give T-the
svoters a chance to familiarize them
-1 selves with its requirements.

P
and we are glad that "
.R" in the iretia-
Tra has presented the arguments in favor
of that system. '
When he says, "Did Greece fall becauste
every man voted for the rulers direct ?"
he must _have mistaken the tenor of our
argument. We said nothing about the fall
of Greece, and stated in the outset- that
wewere in favor of every man votingfor
the rulers direct,- or of being a ruler him
self if he could fairly p rocure - votes
enough. We referred to the 'history of
Athens, whore the assembly of the Whole
people exercised, the powers of a Legisla
ture in addition to the duties of a Supreme
Court, to show that. often in liniments of
excitement or anger, when their passions
Were moved by their :orators, they were
guilty of many acts or injustice and cru
elty -which never could have been com
mitted in a representative government.
Representives are . more apt to act with
coolness and deliberatien, because they
feel their responsibility to the people who
elected them and to whom they are ac
countable.. They know it is necessary to
investigate thoroughly every subject upon
which they are called to, act, in order that
they may act wisely", and. their acts receive
the approval of their constituents. It is
the same with the delegates we send to
represent us in the political convention.: •
All men are born
,equal as regards po
litical rights, but not as regards natural
ability 1 and noterithstandaigour'common
schools, - it is to be feared that there will
always be peat differences in education;
so that it never be a hard matter to
find men who are more *competent than
ourselves to represent us in the Legisla
ture or the , nominating' convention. But
the...tiling we should insist on above all'
!others, is, that they should lie honest and
patriotic. The Bradford &publican ad
mit!' that a representive government is
best, and that the delegate system is in
strict conformityto our theory of govern
ment, but says -in substance, that if the
people are capable of voting for represen
itative.s at the election they are'capable of
voting for them at the caucus. . This prop
osition would seem at first glance to be
unanswerable, but in the first place it is
II":the question undet consideration,
the second place, the two acts
which aeon to be precisely the same are
entirely different from each other.. InAhe
one case the tickets of the tea) or more
political parties—the best, probably, they
were able to' select, knowing the necessity
of a selection in order to succeed,—
have a • n in the field for some time, and
the merits and demerits of the several
candidates have been canvassed, so that
the voter can vote understandingly.
In the other case, a party ticket is to be
formed in a large county, where it is im
possible for the people to know all the
candidates, or even to remember their
names or residences, or the different lo
calities which should be regarded in the
formation of a ticket ; nor would they
be likely to understand the necessity
which frerMently exists of yielding up
their own preferences for the sake of har
mony. In , other words, a party ticket is
to be chosen from forty candidates, with
out the knowledge which can only be
gained by personal intercourse with men
from all parts of the county, assembled at
a county convention. In such a case we
would be like men at sea, out of sight of
Land -without a compass or a chart.
We have no feeling or interest in this
question other than a desire to promote
the, welfare of the party and the public
good. We believe that by selecting the
most intelligent and honest men of our
party in each district, and sending them
to a conference, the probabilities are they
will be able to nominate a better ticket;
and one that will - give more general satis-,
faction to the voters, than a ticket hatched;
out under the Crawford system.
"R" says "we need to be-rid of seeing
a hundred office hunters scouring the
country, riding day after day hither and
thither all. over-their section. spending
half the profits ere they - are nominated
for the office desired:" ,He has got the
number of office hunters a little higher
- than the Republican, but his sources of
infOrination may be more accurate and his
knowledge, of arithmetic better. We
imagine he lives on the corners whore
several political run-ways cross each other,
and as he is a good liver and very hospita
ble, the candidates have dined with him,
or Called him out from his dinner until his
good lady is about tired of it; for he says,
"there should be some way of calling out
candidates, instead of Lavin , * the candi
dates calling out the voters." The trouble
is be lives too well, and lives too handy ;
let him sell out and move into this section,
and he won't be likely to see candidates a
bit oftener than he wants to.
Lastly . , he says: "Make it possible for
the solid body of Republicans to believe
that there is no ring at Towanda, and vic
tory in November is as . sure as day and
night." The solid body of Republicans
believe that nom. They know (What . "R"
knows himself) that there is no more of a
ring in Towanda than there is in Troy,
Lellaysville or Liberty Corners. They
know that the political advantages of a
central location are the - greatest, but these
Towanda would have anyhow, even under
the Crawford County system. The only
valid objection, in our opinion, that can
be made against the delegate system' is
the practice of allowing, the candidate
to select delegates from Ins own district,
anti sometimes from adjoining districts,.
who are such strong personal friends, and
so entirely devoted to his• interests, that
he can trade with their totes. This evil
the people can remedy easily enough .if
they desire, without a resort to the
Crawford system. C.tsq}:t.Au.
"I, ALSO, WILL GIVE.MINE OPINION,"
With your permission, Messrs. Editors,
on the proposed change in selecting can
didates for county officers.
Next to the right of choosing our own
officer', is the right of ,setecting.candidatets.
There is no barrierbetween the legal vo
ter and the ballot-box at the final choice,
but the Delegate system stands a- barrier
between the voter and his first choice of
candidates within his own party.
. _ .
The aristocracy formerly argued that
the.people were .not wise enough to elect
their own rulers, but the letter men
among them should do that for them.
The Delegate system proceeds upon the
same assumption, and condescends to take
from the masses the choice of candidates.
When the better men have made their
choice for both or all parties, they leave
the people generally to "choose betwenn
two evils," or to "belt:" the party which
they would sustain.
The Direct vote, on the contrary, ac
knowledges the riglitii of the masses—the
learned and the unlearned, the better and
the worse—to nodinate as well as to eltet
Officers. It extends the systeni , of New
England town meetings—the usual way
of choosing borough or township officers,
only made uniform and regular to county
officers also ; it could hardly be extended
to State or National offices, for there is
not the personal knowledge of candidates
in these wider fields, necessary to qualify
for an intelligent direct choice.
The safest rule for freemen is, "Never
delegate a power which you can your
selves exercise." In State or National of--'
fairs, `we may—perhaps must—entrust
delegates-; but in our county affairs, we
need no one to step in between us and the
offices to be filled. The same power that
elects delegates could Choose candidates.
It is true, as "Castelar" argues, that
all , Bradford County could not assemble
at Towanda to select nor to elect officers;
but each subdistrict of .the county gives
both chances, one as well as the other.
And we Can be more sure in voting' for
officers than we arc in voting for delegates.
The objection that frauds may occur
under - the Direct vote system, operates
with ten-fold force against ; the Delegate
system. One fraudulent vote may elect
two delegates, who would be the 49th part
of a nominating convention.. One fraud
ulent vote under the Direct system would
be only the 7711th part (vote for 31ercur,.
1872) of a nomination. As 49 is to 7711,
so is the ; power of a fraudulent vote under
the Direct system,
While any false vote may be detected
at home, however there is no security
that a' delegate may be true to hii profes
sions. His vote, may never be known to
those' who choose him—he . may openly
violate his instructions—ho .may pursue
"ways that are dark" to mislead—he may
be bribed, by bartering votes for one of
-1 fiee for votes for another, .asv.men shuf

Theoretically, something may be i said
for the Delegate system. If only wise
and disinterested men were selected, it
might be endured. But you and I know
ns. Editors and reailerie-Lthet,. as
matter of fact, nearly all our delegates go
as the friend—l. might say - the servant —
of - some one man, who " controls " them.
If the great strife be for Sheriff, two sets
of , candidates are run hr f every district,
'one known to be fOr Mr. A 'Aid the other

that might be a fair pull. But there are
always three offices. One 'man wants A

he wants D for Prothonotary. Another ;
wants B for Sheriff, but ho wants E for !

defeated under that system, as well
as der the 'Delegate system, will; be
so headed, and some . f them will swear,

'9l way ;" but the more honest and i,en
s`lhiel will take defeat in better limner—
they k now that while among the jug '
and.hargains of delegates there is ore

and 1 a consequent strengthening of the
party, The assumed leaders of parties
—these who live, or desire.to live, by get
tinglor bargaining, away offices—will not
likeithe change, but will imagine a great
many objections to it. Those, however:,
not !seeking for any positions--only de
sirous of getting the best men for all po
sitierrs---will be glad of this chance -for ?I
lene.
' By this system, unfair advantage of
small districts will bo avoided. Why
should the 17 Republican miners in Over
ton Count as much as the 201 'Republican
farmers of Smithfield? yet they do when
the 117 Republicans of Overton have the
same voice in convention as the 261 of
Smithfield. The 45 in Lellaysville have
the 'same power as the 183 of Pike—the.
36 in Alba as the 167 of Canton township
--Ax. This is not 'right. Everybody
knows it is wrong, and when wrongs can
"'righted they must—they will be.
'admit there is much falsehisel and
unfairness in the gossip about " Towanda
Rine .. among the outs of our party ; yet
it is always well to regard even the preju
dices of men, when they may be avoided.
The change is right in itself, as I think,
and I would therefore advise Towanda
Republicans, and Wyalusing Republicans,'
and Republicans all over, to inaugurate
a trial of the new system ; roll that stum
bling block (which has cost us so many
defeats) out of the way, and thus prepare
for , a united, old-fashioned majority in
1875 and in the all-important campaign of
1576. i FATHER A nit AIINM .-
ED. EEPORTER:—AS the farmers. are
all now busy at home and the streets ate
quiet, you may have time to run your ea
gle eye over a little; manuscript from
Sioux City, lowa.
Three months have passed in which we"
have all held our breath at the mention
of :the word '"G rasshopper." It has - been
"cannon to right of us, cannon, to left of
us - , !Cannon in front of us volleyed and
thundered." but so far no grasshopper
has opened upon us. It would do your
eyes good to see the fields of Northwest
ern lowa and Southern Dakotab. As
compared with other parts of the coun
try, this has suffered little damage from
the floods, and crops are excellent; and
'are out of danger, excepting corn, and
ten days more will place it where thejaw
bone of the grasshopper •cannot destroy
it, even though he come up against us,
which is not probable. •
Wheat buyers now offer One dollar per
bushel for wheat delivered within the
next two Months, a sum 4hich cannot
but make glad the heart of the Granger.
Potatoes are abundant and of the best
quality; they came into market a month
ago at the modest sum 4of two dollars per
bushel, but twenty-five cents will do now.
. The feeling so bitter against railroad
corporations two years, ago, is rapidly dy
ing out.. A great deal has been learned
by experiencein the meantime, and the
laborer and capitalist are finding that nei
ther can prosper without the co-operation
of the other. So it- has ever been, but
like many other things laid down•in the
'books, each -generation ignores it until
learned by experience.
Politically no great interest is as ye
manifested, though the indications poin
to an old fashioned republican majority
*lien erection day cOnies.

MOODY AND SANKEY
A Surplus of $5,000 in the Rands of the London
Committee Devoted to a Noon Prayer-Meeting.
LADELPIIIA, Aug. 11.—Hon. J.
V. Farwell, of Chicagd, who, is ex
pected to arrive with Messrs. Moody
and Sankey, in the steamer. Spain on
Saturday, writes George 11. Stuart,
of this cityi that the London commit
tee, after paying all bills connected
with the Evangelists' labors in that
city, amounting to about $150,000,
had a surplus of $5,000, which was
appropriated for 'a noon-day prayer
meeting, to be continued daily. At
a breakfast meeting, ' (given for the
Evangelists,) Mr. Moody:made a
proposition that a memorial,of their
interest in the work, which they had
only begun, would be the_appropriate
thing -to inaugurate. .It was at once
proposed to raise $500,000 for an
Evangelistic building in the West
End, and smaller amounts for other
localities. Before leaving the table
over $200,000 were subscribed, one
gentleman . giving $50,000, and three
others $25,000. - This, with the amount
already expended, makes $350,000
given in London alone since Moody
and Sankey went -there, and all of it
voluntarily. The Evangelists declin
ed. a proposition-to give them a testi
monial, and the copyright upon their
hymn books Which were sold, amount
ing to. $35000, to which they had a
legal and moral right, was left to the
Hdisposal of the London committee
for religious work.
HARRISBURG, August 12.- I The
partly decomposed body of a 'woman
was found on Fisher's Island, oppo
site Highsiiire, six miles:exit of -Har

Mrs. Rebecca Forbes, a passenger
from New York for San Francisco,
who leaped from the Pacific Express
last week near Dunca i non, fifteen
miles west of Harrisburg , and then
jumped into the Juniata ° river near
that point.. Portions of embroidery
- on the garments on the corpse corre
spond_ with the embroidery on sev
veral peices of clothing found near
the point where she jumped from the
train. The body will be interred by
the railroad company.
