herents of Senator Gammon and the
Regulars generally, and the Inde-
pendents, widened - with_ dangefous
swiftness and the outlook for Repub
lican success was not at all flatter
ing and unless means for reconciling
differences wire found it was re
cognized that Democratic victory
was fairly probable.
I • '
The_ Independents held
_meetings
and determined to nominate a full
ticket unless the so called slate-tick--
et of the Regulars was wholly or in
part abandoLed,' - and in — unequivocal
terms declared war upon the exist
ing order of things. There was much
unquiet and while the Majority of
the sage politicians. augured success,
the reliance was as', much on . Dem
ocratic blundering as. on Republican
strength and unity. The plain facts
were that a Large number of Republi
cans felt that the party ,wils being
run in the interest of a branch of the
party aid--Tiot for the whole, and
whether they ' were right or wrong
they proposed to : resist the probable
ticket of the coming convention.
At last after . ., many suggestions
wise and (Abel-Wise, with, we' think,
1
a prepondera l nce of the latter, a com
mittee of five , was agreed upon by
• •
the Independents to 'meet, a •suwlar
committeß \ of i Regulars and to agree,
if'possible, upon some arrangement
which shou4 be mutually satisfac
tory to the \r„fitillowings they , repre
sented. 'The Regulars appointed a
committee and.last Saturday the first
meeting was held which ended,With

was rejected 'because it was thought
such a ciitra.. \ would lead to factional
strife in7niany counties, and
,the time
being sn'shOrt, the State Coihmittee
could not meet and give properat
tention to the question. For these
reasons it was objected to by both
committees.
E2l
The result is a surprise t& nearly
every one. It was thought `.with the
feeling of antagonism which existed
that the 'qpposing forces could not
come together and make such iutual
concessions as would be necessa

happily contradicted, and the coming
campaign' seems an easy one unless
the actiotiof the . Convention-should

EMERSON.
A little over a month ago the pa
pers were full of the death of our
grand old poet, Longfellow, and from
- all over the land and, from across the
ocean, came eulogies for the dead
singer whose songs had lightened
the burdens of many hearts. To-day
a poet philosopher divides the grief _
- of the people with him so recently,
buried.. Emerson did not have th
affection of the masses as Longfellow
did ; but among thinkers he occupied
a high place ` as one of the most
ful men of the
i
ad
vanced and though t ful
century. 13ginning life a clergyman

and no o e who reads his essays and

reader e old not fail to be impressed'
with the ignity and love for truth
h i a
which Traded his-writings. He was

who are always with them. But with all
their trials and legislative duties the issues
and changes ai they ate being marked on
the political 'horoscope are tamely Watch
ed and as , freely disenssed. , With'the
!Pennsylvania members the nomination of
Beaver and Davis by the Republican
party is an accepted fact, and their elec
tion concedeu._ With regard to the Con
gressrnetilat large, that are at the same
time to be elected, Colonel Overton; of
Bradford, is not unfretinently mentioned
as one who would be gladly weltiomed
back to his old place in the House. -As
'an evidence of the popularity of Colonel
Overton with his former colleaguei, the
clerkahip of that body would have been
tendered him by the Republican side
without a dissenting voice, had there
'been any wish expressed or willingness
manifested upon his part that.the same
would he accepted. '
• The political situation ;n Pennsylvania
appears just now to bo attracting a good
deal of attention, arid in connection with
the 'prospects of the several candidates a
great amount of expectoration and ex
postulation'is being indulged in over the
terrors and evils of , bossism. If we may
judge from what is\ told us by tticiopposi
press, the Republican leaders of
'Pennsylvania, which have -so often. led
their party on to, success, have become
most wonderfully depraved, transformed,
as it were, into first-elan, demons, as•
evils of the direst character are predicted
unless the machine is smashed, and the
bosses speedily destroyed and their in
fluence known no more forever. But with
all the bluster and bravado of .a certain
class, known as kickers, there does not
yet appear to be any blasted vegetation or
blood on the face of. themoon.
• The cry aboutbostism, individual rights;
independent action, and so on, may fall
with cadence on the ear, but its meaning,
as shown by experience, is defeat of party
and the desertion ot principles. It first
began with Doolittle in the West, then
Trumbull, then Chase, and, last of all,
Greeley, who, in. his delirium of future
greatness, shook hands with threparty
that, through all his life, ho had fought
with most intense hatred. We had almost
forgotten that there is one more in the
catalogue, A. :G. Curtin, the great
, war
Governor of Pennsylvania; who, turning
his back upon his life-long principles
finds refuge in the camp of his enemies,
where he is barely tolerated while being
pitied and 'detested.
" Professions are one thing and actions
another.- The cry about bossism; we are
inclined to believe, is merely a pretext
used by those who, because they cannot
be bosses themselves, would like to play
dog in the manger if they could. So long
as they are held to the; front it is well,
but when by force of circumstanced or by
natural law they are forced to gravitate
to the back ground, "bossism" is the
cry and defection to party and principles
soon follows.
A party. without organization or lead
ership, however load the protests about
loyalty to principle and firmness of pur
pose, would be very much like an army
in battle without officers.' To expect suc
cess in such a situation'-
.would be but a
dream "as idle as a painted ship upon a
painted ocean." It is a feet—unnecessary
to assert—that success in any vocation of
life is but the, result of proper control and
management, and no less 'so is it in the
field of politics. - .
It is all well enough for the Indepen
dent 'Press -to. prate 'about individual
rights, civil service reform, bossism, and
all that sort of thing, but it is not easy
to be convinced that a party whose prin
ciples have been successfully maintained
through many a 'hotly contested battle
will care to abandon their leaders under
the shallow pretext of bossism. So long
as the country at large enjoys the peace
and prosperity which it has donelmder
the rule and administration of the Re.
publican party, the masses will be con
tent-with the machine. With them boss.
ism will have no terror so long as pros
perity' prevails and peace and good order
are faithfully maintained.
The millions who'constitute the Repub
lican party will only follow their leader 4
who beckon them the way they want to
go; neither soreheads, nor conceited dem
agogues, nor pretended , Republicans, can
induce them to disband in front of the
enemy by tellibg them that their repro.
sontative bodies are machines, and that
their favorite generals are bosses. The
nauseating cant about political assess
ments, civil service reform, individual
rights, independent action, bosses, ma
chine politics, and so ON can only be re
garded as the drivel of a certain class of
disorganizerr whose principal aim is to
compass the overthrow of the Republican
party and the defeat of the principles. •
If there is to be harmony in , the Repub
lican - patty it is not to be based upon the
political massacre of any Republicans.
From the day that President Arthur was '
inaugurated he has been the President of
the people, and the equal friend of all

The Conference of Regulars and
Izl~psnients
M. S. Quay Elt.bries Wolfe Elude.
men—Nothing Definite Done Ent
ntlay—Resointionfe Adopted on
alondny Evening;
:'The conference of Regular and In
dependent Republicans called, as a
result of the recent Mitchelloonfer
ence, with a view of healing the dif
ferences existing , in thiState organi
zation, met Saturday evening `in the
Continental Hotel, and, after'in in
formal discussion lasting until mid
night, adjourned to meet atain at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon. The five
Regulars, Finder the chairmanship of
Matthew' S. Quay, presented a series
of resolutions or propositions, and
the five Independents, led by Charles
S. Wolfe, submitted a declaration of
principles. Neither document was
acted on, and the conference adjourn
ed without agreeing on the recom
mendation to the State Convention
that promises to be the result of its
deliberations. The spirit of the en
tire discussion breathed of the tolera
tion and - mutual fair treatment, and
it can be reliably stated that there is
but little doubt that the outcome of
the conference will be that harmony
will smile upin the Republican party
and cause for all dissensions be re
inoved. Conferences of the Inde
pendents earlier in the day furnished
forebodings a irreconcilable differ
epees, but mutual ende wors to bring
about a peaceful solution of the diffi
cult problem led to entirely different
and very happy results. Senator
Cameron was not in town to attend
the meeting, and! Senator Mitchell
only appeared before _the conferees
long enough to, tell them that, as his
Senatorial colleague was absent,
would i also remain away, and, be
sides, he did not think his presence
would benefit the purpose they de
sired to attain. .
The joint conference of the Regu
lar and Independent Republicans on
Monday evening passed resolutions
recommending the adoption of the
following principles and methods by
the Republican State Convention on
May 10th :
We unequivocally condemn the use
of patronage to promote personal
and political ends, and quire that
alt o ffi ces bestowe d with the party
shall be upon the sole basis of fitness.
Competent and faithful, servants
should= not be removed except fOr
cause. The non-elective minor offices
should be filled in accordance with
the -rules established by law. The
ascertained popular will should be
faithfully' carried out in the. State
and National Conventions, and by
those holding office by favor of the
party.„ We condemh compulsory as
sessments for politicial purposes and
proscriptions for failure to respond, .
!either to such assessments or to re
quest for voluntary contributions,
and any policy of political proscrip
tion is unjust and calculated to dis
turb party harniony. A public office
constitutes a high trust, to be admin
istered solely for the people, whose
interest must be paramount to those
of persons or parties, and it should
be invariably conducted with the
seine - efficiency, economy .and
rity as is expected the execution
of private trusts. •
The State ticket should be such as,
by the impartiality of its construe
tion and character and the acknowl
edged fitness of its nominees, will
justly commend it to the united sup
port of the Republican party.
We also recommend the adoption
of the following permanent rules for
holding State Conventions and the
conduct of the party :
- 1. Delegates 'to the State Conven
tion shall be chosen in: the manner
in which candidates for the general
assembly are nominated, except in
Senatorial districts composed of more
than ohe county, in- which the selec
tion of Senatorial delegates shall be
chosen in the manner aforesaid, and
the representation of - each county
shall be based upon the Republican
'vote cast at the Presidential election
;next preceding the convention.
2. Hereafter the State Convention
of the Republican party shall be held
on the second. Wednesday of„July,
except in tile year.i•f the Presidential
clection, when it shall be , held not
more than thirty days previous to the
day, fixed tor the national coirentiOn.

Death of. Emerson.
CORNCORD, Mass., April 27.--tialph
Waldo. &person died at his home at
nine o'elOck this evening )
This morning the patient was 'rest.
lag easily. but about noon be began
to suffer-from.severe pain. He soon
became _delirious, and ether was( ad
ministered, underi the influence of
which he was kept; until- his" death.
His death was not caused by exhaus
tion, but by acute pneumonia, the
tubes suddenly filling up and choking
the patient. His wife and Dr. Em•
arson and laughter were at his bed
side.
lie was born at Boston, May 25th,
1803, and was, consequently at the
time of his death nearing the close
of his seventy-ninth year. He grad
uated from Harvard College in 1821
without having won any notable
eollegiate 'distinction, and for five
years after leaving college was en-.
gaged in keepingachool. In accord-,
ranee with his father's wish he pre
pared himself for the ministry, and
in March, 1820, was ordained Co.
- pastor with- Henry Ware, of the
Second Unitariaii.Church of , Boston,
being the eighth. 'in succession of a
direct family line of ministers. Three
years later . his independence or
thought began to - show itself. Ilia
views of the ,Lord's supper . di I not
agree with thosebf his cotigregation,
and be naked to be relieved frOm his
charge. Soon afterward he sailed
for Europe, and returning after a
year's . absence began his career as. a
lecturer. by which during the next'
seven years he ivao . very actively and
successfully occupied. The publica
tion. of The Deal was begun in the
year 1840, and daring the last two
years of its brief existence was un
der Mr. Emerson's editorial manage
ment. In 1841 the first series of his
" Essays " appeared. and was follow
ed by the second series three years
later. His " &mays on Represents- .
five Men'' was published in 1-850,
and the " Memoirs of Margaret,
Ossoli " in 1.855. -Other of his
works appeared as tollows : " Eng
lish Traits" in 1556," The Conduct
of Life" in 1860, 'May Day find
Other Pieces," a volume of poems in
1867, and "Society and Solitude ? in
1870. He has also been a frequent
contributor to the Atlantic Monthly
down to a late day. Mr. Emerson
has long been recognized as the most
original - earl profound of Ainerican
thinkerfa, and there is no one to 'fill
his place.
A TILIBUTZ FROM. BRONSON AILCOTT.
, Durk(' .the winter of 18n-'s the
parlors of b the Rev. Joseph Gook, of
Boston, were thrown open on one
day in every month for a symposinm,
conducted by the venerable Bronson
Alcott, Both Mr. Cook and Mr. Al
cott aimed to invite thither repre
sentatiVe literary and professional
men tapafticipate in the discussions.
On one of these occasions Mr. Alcott
diiicoursed to CrCwded parlors in his
easY. conversational style, on his
Concord friends, living and deceased,
who had been known as lead ers in
the Transcendental movement. . The .
subitance or his remarks on Emerson'
,
was as follows
- EmersOn is our first truly Ameri
can or New England writer. Abroad
he is regarded as our chief repre
sentative author,- and has had a
wider influence than any of his con
temporaries upon our younger writ
ers. - If he
_is less read than other
authors, he always controls his read-.
ere. - It is Always Emerson himself
who is speaking. He is not - a wide
reader, and yet nothing has escaped
him. He is an 'absorbing reader.
This is always characteristic of
genius. While it borrows, it hides
its borrowings. Emerson i's a. man
of the country, and is familiar with
nature. - He loves solitude and knows
what to do with it. He does nothing
or thinks nothing ; which he dols not
put down in his' journal or note-book.
So •in an interview with a friend or
in reeding a book, the best thing
said or read goes intolhe diary. It
doesn't take him long to read a
book. He knows bow to get the
honey out of books. nature and ex
perience. He has the eye of s New-
Englander, and his observations go
into' his common-place books. When
an idea seizes him he turns to these.
note-books to see what-lie has upon
it. This paragraph, he says, is good
for a beginning; that one is the best
to close with. Once I went into his
study and found him with the sheets
of his common-place book. spread out
in' every direction, while he was try
ing to gather up rom them what we
wanted fur the essay in band. When
he has culled 'what .be wants and
skated his materials' into some sort
of form, he goes out to read his lec
ture, and ' tries it on people-to see
how it fits, and when he is satisfied
by actual experience that there is
something in it, he sends it to press.
He does not read criticisms on his
writings, and while he - always listens
with courtesy to the advice of others,
is seldom known to follow' it. He
writes almost as well And bright as
cultivated women converse. They
always speak the best English. Em
erson hai been 'before the 'public
forty years, and may be fairly said
to-have made the . American lecture.
Emerson is the typical gentleman of
this country for modesty, for grace
of !banner, for magnanimity,•for hos
pitality, for friendship.
Mr. Emerson is au ethical writer.
In him the Puritan type ripened, but
.dtd not take the Poritan form. His
modesty did not allow him to put
his thought into the usual forms, and
so he was silent. He frequently at
tends the Unitarian Church, and his
daughter is one of the 'most devoted
membets. Emerson is absolutely
sincere in Except in
one sentence in his essay on " Im
mortality," he accepts that doctrine.
He is 'a Christian Theist; an indi
vidual that belongs to the church of
one methher. HiS creed is unwritten.
He is better than his creed. Ile bra

brother among all Christiaiii. I have
never fully sympathized with him in
his religious. opinions. There is a
type of mind which, does not express
its inmost convictions, and Emerson

WASHINGTON, April 26.- r -The fol
lowing has been furnished ',for publi
cation by Mr. Frank Hatton, First
Assistant Postmaster-General
despatch was sent out ,from thia`city
as a special to several papers to the
effect that Second . Assistant Post-.
master-General Elmer is about ta re
sign, for the reason that his position
has been made uncomfortable by the
present head of the Department and
other friends of the Administration.
The effect of the despatch I is to
create the impression that . General
Elmer, who was appointed from the
President's own State, was- antago
nistic to . General Arthur and his
political friends at the time he
(Elmer) was appointed. -Nothing
could be further. from the trtith, as is
well known to the friends of both.
As to General Elmer's relations. with
the ,entire Department, we have it
from one authorized to speak when
we say , that they are entirely pleas
ant. In fact, it . can be truthfully
said that at no time has the working
fora Of that department, including
- the chierrand his assistants, been in
more harmonious and pleasant re
lations that at the present time
General Elmer's management-of his
office has met , with the hearty ap
proval of his immediate chief as well
