In the estimation of the Kansas

The bill extending the charters of
National banks has passed the Senate.
The principal pointsof the measure are
as follows : Any National bank, upon
the consent of the shareholders of two
thirds of its stock, can renew its char
ter for twenty years at any time within
two years before the expiration of its
existence under the present law. The
institution will then have all its old
rights, except that legal proceedings
against it can be carried on in the
State Courts. . Any shareholder who
does not wish the bank to tie continued

State Convention.
The recalled Republican State Con
vention assembled at Harrlsburg on
the 21st. It was not full, but there
were not as many absentees as was
expected conshleriHg the little there
was to do. An effort was made to
have a new convention called, but it
did not meet the wishes of a majority.
A ballot was taken for Congressman
at large in place of Tom Marshall de
clined, as follows : Brosius 161, Lilly
25, Todd 17. Marriott Brosius, of
Lancaster, was thereupon declared the
choice of the convention. He is a
leading lawyer and an able mail, living
In Lancaster.
A resolution was passed requesting
the State Committee to adopt honor
ble means to conciliate the Independ
ents, and empowering the committee
to till any vacancy in the ticket.
Newspapers Defects.
It is. very popular with people, espe

considerablecheap wit about the defects
of newspapers, which of course (hey

Pound Dead In a Darn.
From the Kane Blade we clip the
following item iu relation to the death
of the Swede of Whistletown, mention
of which we made in our last issue.
On Sunday morning last Fred.
Lagerstrom, a Swedish blacksmith,
who resides in Kane, but who had re
cently been employed tit Whistletown,
Elk County, was found dead in a barn
at that place, and under the most dis
tressing circumstances. When found'
his skull was fractured, which showed
that he had met his death iu a sudden '
and most violent manner. The full
particulars of the tragic affair we have
not learned, but from what w have
bi!en able to gather it appears that
Lagerstroin, iu company with others
of his fellow-workmen, was in the
habit of bleeping in the barn, on the
hay loft. Saturday night they retired
as usual, but on Sunday he was miss
ingi whereupon search was instituted,
when he was found as above described.
It is supposed that he arose some time
during the night iu his sleep, and,
wandering about in thatcoudition, fell
from the loft to the floor below.. The
remains were brought hereon Monday
for. burial. He was about forty-live
years of age, and leaves a wife an dsev
eral small children, one of whom a
boy some twelve yars of age has
been bedridden for a number of years,
Buffering from a large sore on one of
his limbs. Mrs. Lagerstrom is a hard
working woman, who commands the
respect of all, aud sympathy of a- most
substantial nature should be extended

PECT TO SEE IT DEFEATED ADVICE
TO CAMERON.
(Pliltndelplila Prom,)
Ex-Altomey-Oeneral Lear furnished
The Press with the following open
letter to Senator Cameron i
Hon. J. D. Cameron.
My Dear Sir: Some of our friends
have succeeded in getting the party
entangled iu the most Incomprehensi
ble and apparently Inextricable maze
which I have ever witnessed, and
unless I can get you to join me in a her
culean effort to untangle it, the whole
business will soon go to the "demnitlon
bowwows." I an doing the best I can to
straighten things out, but some of your
friends will not cooperate with me, and
in fact, treat me as a recalcitrant mar
plot, and others call me names.
In order to understand what to do,
It is first necessary to state to you the
difficulty, and in the manner in which
it was brought about. The most seri
ous part of the complication is the re-
sultof the adroit mauagementof Whar
ton Baker and Charles S. Wolfe, prac
ticed upon the unspecting Innocence
and guileless simplicity of M. S. Quay,
T. W. Cooper and Chris Magee. One
John I. Mitchell who I believe, is
your colleague In the United States
Senate met Messrs. Barker and
Wolfe in Philadelphia, and complained
to them that he was not getting his
share of political patronage which was
dispensed in Pennsylvania, and, that
while his friends received something,
it was not an equal proportion, either
in quality or quantity, and it was a
repetition of the story of the two broth
ers who slept in the same bed, the
younger and smaller of whom com
plained to his mother that the big
brother did not give him his share of
the bed, which the elder brother de
nied, and avowed that he took but
half of it. But the smaller boy ex
plained that the big boy took his half
right out of the middle. This allega-
tiou that you took your share of the
political patronage out of the middle,
leaving your colleague only the edges,
and somewhat ragged at that, was
looked upon as a grave infringement
upon the principle of equity the very
essence of which is equality.
THE PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCE
In order to ascertain the truth of
falsity of the charge, aud if true to de
vise a remedy, it was agreed to submit
the whole question to the arbitrament
of ten boni et legates homines to be
selected on behalf of the respective
parties, five to represeut the rights and
protect the interest of each side. Iu
a moment of misplaced confidence,
you or your friends selected or agreed
to accept, two such incompetents in
political management as Messrs. Quay
and Magee, to represent, with three
others, your side of the case, with
chairman Cooper as an occasional
alternate for Magee in his absence.
Mr. Wolfe was the chairman of the
committee of five representing the
other interest, and who never says
much, but "Is sly, devilish sly," took
advantage of the weakness of your
representatives and induced them to
open the whole question of the party
grievances, and succeeded in obtaining
admissions by implication, that pat
ronage is used to promote personal
political ends; that offices are bestowed
within the party upon other reasons
than the sole basis of fitness; that
competent and faithful officers are re
move without cause; that nominating
conventions are packed with delegates,
by committee and other means incon
sistent with a fair representation of
the Republican masses; and that the
ascertained popular will has not been
fully carried-out in State and National
Conventions and by those holding of
fice by the favor of the party. These
are grave charges, and it is alleged
that they were aimed at your method
of dwlpensingthe political patronage
of the State, and conducting the action
of the policy of the party. The admis
sion of the truth ofthese serious charges
are found among the declarations of
principles proclaimed by your friends,
and the remedies provided for their re
dress. If they are not admitted, the
declarations of policy and principles
and rule of action adopted by that
Peace Conference are meaningless.
Among them are the following:
First. That we unequivocally con
demn the use of patronage to promote
personal political ends, and require that
auomces uesioweu wninu me pui-iy
shall be upon the sole basis of fitness.
Second. That competent and faith
ful officers should not be removed ex
cept for cause.
Fourth. That the ascertaiued popu
lar will shall be faithfully carried out
in State and' National Conventions,
and bv those holding office by the
favor of the uartv.
Resolved. That we also recommend
the doptiou of the following permanent
rules for the holding of State Conven
tions and the conduct of the party:
The delegates to State Conventions
shall be chosen in the manner in which
candidates for the General Assembly
are nominated, except in Senatorial
districts com nosed of more than one
omiutv. in which conferees for the se-
lection of Senatorial delegates shall be
chosen iu the manner aforesaid.
what mr. Cameron's friends did.
At a convention of the Republican
party of the State, held at Harrlsburg,
on the 10th of May last, these lofty
and grand eminattons from thi Peace
Conference were adopted with entire
unanimity, and some of your warmest
friends smiled audibly at their success
in reforming your ways.. It was the
last and most important act of that
convention, except the adjournment,
which was the last and also very im-
lortant. That Convention was then
functiom officio, and the new rules
were In operation. Your friend Quay,
Cooperand Magee had given you away,
and the victory of the people seemed
complete. It was a triumph for liberty,
obtained by peaceful means, almost
equal to that of Magna Charla Liber-
talibus extorted by the Barons, sword
in hand, from King John.
All that there is the Republican
form of government, as distinguished
from a monarchy, Is that the one Is
the expression of the will of the people,
and the other of an autocrat. When
the people are denied expression, or
their voice suppressed, by whatever
means, the difference between republi
canism and imperialism exists only In
name. The form may be preserved
when the substance has departed. And
when it became necessary for your
friends to come Into a State Conven
tion, in obedience to a loud popular
call, and in the apprehension of terrific
popular storm, and ask that body to
take a new political reckoning, and
train the Republican ship for the burst
ing of the threatened tornado, and, in
order to avert the wreck of the staunch
old craft, to extort from the delegates
a uew departure for the party, by the
declaration, "that the ascertained popu
lar will shall be faithfully carried out
In State and National Conventions and
by those holding office by favor of the
party," the inevitable conclusions
must be drawn that these essential
qualities, not only of the Republican
party, but of a republican form of Gov
ernment, had been abandoned or
materially departed from in the con
duct and management of those in con.
trol of the organization. That was a
brave declaration, and worthy of being
literally enforced, and when It was fol
lowed by a resolution providing a new
mode of electing delegates, so as to
give all Republican voters a fair op
portunity to be represented, it looked
as if a great triumph had been achieved
in favor of popular rights.
But withiu two weeks after that
Convention expired, a vacancy on the
ticket made it necessary for the party
to make another nomination, thus af
fording an excellent opportunity to test
the efficacy of the new rules, and to
give an earnest of thesinccrity of those
who had promised this great change
and improvement iu the conduct of
the party. Having been a member of
the Convention, and intending more
than mere words and empty promises
by the adoption of the platform, I ex
pressed my belief that a new Conven
tion should be called, and every one
seems to assent to it; but suddenly,
from some mysterious if not mythical
source, came a call upon the delegates
to the old and departed Convention to
ressemble, and I refused to attend the
wake and sit up with thecorpseof that
defunct body. I wrote to Chairman
Cooper refusing to obey, and giving
my reasons with some emphasis for my
disobedience. If there was a necessity
for the promises contained in the plat
form, there was still greater necessity
for the performance of the contract be'
tween the delegates and the other Re
publicans of the State, and I resolved
to fullfill my part of it.
But the Peace Conference and the
Convention of the 10th of May did not
go too tar iu their declarations ol
principles and the adoption of remedies
for existing evils, and in the necessary
admissions which such action implies,
to met the case. The facts exist and
the remedies were imperatively de
manded, aud no men know it better
than you, and your friends in that
Conference; and alt intelligent Re
publicans knew it as well before as
since the authoritative admission by
the Peace Conference and the State
Convention. This action is only con
firmation of the loudly proclaimed
averments of the grievances, and ex
cludes any conclusion to the contrary
by you or your friends. But the rem
edy is not i u empty words or hollow
promises ; there must be performance
or the party will languisn ana die
About all things, people resent an act
which is based upon the assumption
that they are too stupid to detect t
cheat.
A KUtiOKSTION TO LEADERS.
Of the four hundred aud fifty thous
and Republican voters of Pennsylva-
at least four hundred and forty thous-
thousand of us believe iu the principles
contained in our platform, and the ten
thousand others profess to believe iu
them; und we intend to have those
principles practiced, or hold all those
responsible who set them at defiance
Heretofore, the charges of abuse have
heen but whispered, aid those who
suffered were too timid to speak, aud
others waitiuir for recognition were
constrained to silence by self-interest
but the facts are now open to- broad
daylight, proved by the most incon
testable evidence, and admitted by the
party iu its official and organized ca
naeitv. The remedy is in the hands
of a few, all of whom you can direct
It must be by acts aud not by promises
You cannot longer "palter to us in
double sense, and hold the promise to
the ear but break it to the hope."
Has there been any change in the
practices complained of? Has patron
age been used for personal political
ends? Have competent and faithful
officers been removed without cause?
lias the ascertained popular will been
faithfully carried out, or has theoe
been au effort made or au opportunity
offered to ascertaiu It? Has anything
been done to redress the grievance or
reform toe abuses complaiued of since
the adoption, of the new political creed?
So far as I cau consult them, the peopl
answer iu the negative. Within my
personal knowledge the abuses ecu
tinue. Is there one instance to estab
lish an exception?.
This lack of good faith- Is increasing
the clamor and intensifying the dis
satisfaction. No one who approaches
you has the inclination aud the cour
age to apprise you of the magnitude of
the storm, and I venture, at the risk
of obloquy, contumely and vitupera
tion, to nang out the danger signal.
There are thousands of men In the
State who see and appreciate the alarm
ing situation, and only need thestimu-
us oi a concerted movement to create
a stampede; and as many more who
are bound to you and your fortunes but
are growing restive under the yoke,
who will desert on the first oppor
tunlty for concurrent action. You
will receive the most positive assur
ances, until it is to late, that you can
drive this campaign though success
fully, and that the Republican ticket
cau be elected under existing circum
stances. It Is better, however, to know
the truth now than learn it by defeat.
MR. LEAR'S COMPARISON.
For a little plain talk of this kind
recently, while I had assurances of
approval and cooperation from the
most solid and reliable people aud the
most intelligent and responsible of the
newspaper press, I was assailed by the
most boistrous outcry from a certain
class of a small politicans and insig
nificant journals for my temerity.
They seem to consider themselves
called upon to rush to the defense of
those who are doing the most damage
to the party, and to do It by denounc
ing me and sounding an alarm against
the dangerous tendencies of my warn
ngs and suggestions. While such
things do not convince any one of an
error, they havea tendency to convince
others that a cause is a weak one which
can be saved only by such means,
Their course awakens thought
and reflection on the part of
serious minded men as to whether
the election of the highest officers
of the State is a frivolous business
for mountebanks to sport with,
or a grave duty for practical men to
reflect calmly and act wisely upon,
Important events, however, some
times result from mean sources.
A p:oote. placed .enl.ry on her station,
Kuveil old Rome from desolation ;
An ax8. In llitluum'n mA dlsueier.
Turned orator and saved Ills muster.
And if the cackling of geese and
braying of asses have the same saving
efficacy which they had in ancient
times, the salvation of the Republican
ticket is assured ; for even the De
mocratic donkey, who nibbles his
small lunch of oats out of your hand,
joins the bray to swell the asslnine
chorus. '
These people who write editorials
command me to go to the Democrats,
or, if I do not like the Republican
party, to join the Independents. But
you can rely upon it anil assure our
friends that I will not go. The Demo
crat party is no place tor me, for 1 am
not a Democrat. 'I will not go to the
Independent, for their oganizatiou is
not a party, but a movement tending to
destroy. They have the power of des
truction, but not of recreation. A mule
can kick a man to death who is stupid
enough to staud behind it, and the
Independent movement may destroy
the Republican party; but, like the
mule, which has no power of procrea
tion and cannot propagate and per
petuate Its species, when the Republi
can party Is dead, the Independent
organization, based upon the principle
of hostility to party methods, will be
creed without an object, a faith
without a meaning, and a principle
without a purpose. It Is the policy of
the Republican party at this time to
get away from behind tills organiza
tion with such destructive tendencies,
and I want to secure your aid in this
direction.
No, sir, my dear companion in
hundred frays, you and I have fought
the battle of the party through too
many campaigns for me to desert
it
now. it is true our duties ran in dif
ferent lines, yours oelng to make the
ticket, aud mine, with you and others,
to assist in electing them. These
people have no right to order me into
another party. I was in the Republi
can party from its birth, and before
some of my detractors were born, and
I have a vested, indefensible and un
impeachable title to membership in its
ranks. You aud I will staud by it as
long as it will stand by us. We came
up with it in its primitive purity, aud
witnessed its splendor iu the day of its
glory, ana li it goes to us grave we
will be the mourners at its tomb.
FATHERLY ADVICE TO CAMERON.
But while we are friends, and should
be, for we have never crossed paths
personally, I shall have to find some
fault with your political management
aud my plan of the campaign may re
quire some mild animadversion; but it
shall be done iu the most select langu
age, and not by the use of any such
odious term as the Independents ap
ply to you. But. as is said by that
profound philosopher, Major Welling
ton De Boots, "What Is the use i
having a friend, if you can't make
stranger of him?" My idea of the
campaign- is, that you shall do nothing
keep quiet, and look wise. This will
not require you to act wisely, aud I
fact It Is too late in the campaign for
you to learn a new part. But give no
orders, make no suggestions, and per
mit the judicious Republicans to
gather up the scattered fragments-
the party, and stick them togteher
The meeting at Harrlsburg yesterday
opened the way for this, and it can be
done if ever one will keep cool and in
a good humor, and not tear each other
as enemies. The Democrats will be
enough for us to fight, and I want to
see our ticket, or some one equally an
good, elected. The one we have suits
me from top to bottom, and even the
candidate nominated yesterday shall
have my n- pport, although In my op
pinion his nomluation was not entirely
regular. But he is a good man, aud is
nearer regular than any one on the
other ticket; and, as to the ethers, I
assisted to nominate thetn, which
would be enough, but in addition to
that three of them are my Intimate
personal fiieud with the most ample
ualiflcations. But I am anxious to
succeed, and If success requires the sac
rifice of their aspirations they are the
men to make It.
We will have a difficult task In any
event, but as the contest now stands It
Is Idle to make the effort. There are
more Independents inside the party
than of those organized against us, and
thousands say If thepolltlctanscannot,
with alt their political Wisdom, deter
mine that one or the other Is the right
ticket we will not trouble ourselves
about It. President Taggart, on tak-
sng the chair yesterday, In his jocular
way said that Mr. Lear was absent on ac
count of sickness In his family. Very
true, In his political family, for I stand
In the relation of one of the fathers
of the party, and It Is a large family,
and terrible sick, "night unto death.
The remedy must be applied at once,
and must go to the root of the disease,
aud the first nill. or potion must be
taken by you, which will he to abstain
from all interference, and let others,
In a manner which can easily be de
vised, provide for the calling of a con
vention, which must be drawn from
the original source of political power
the people and let all candidates sur
render their nominations to such a
convention, and the result cannot he
otherwise than "the survival of the
fittest."
If this be not done. I shall content my
self with sadly voting for our defeated
candidates, and until the time arrives
for the performance of that duty
shall spend the sunny hours musing
under my own vine and fig tree, and
'hear aloof the human tempest beat."
Yours truly,
George Lear.

These simple facts are well
