CoxiiREM convened in extra fccs
eion yesterday (Monday.) Samuel J.
Randall of Pennsylvania was elected
Fpcaker. The President's message
wag a brief one, airoply calling the
attention of Congress to the appro
priations for deficiencies.
Cou Jons W. Founet has sold the
Philadelphia jVc to W. W. Nevis,
of Pituburgh, for the eutn of $1 80,000.
There is ample scope and verge fur
fqnarc-toed Republican paper in
Philadelphia, and we hope to see tbe
rrrx$ made one.
At the election in Iowa on last
Tacsday tbe Republicans swept the
State electing their candidates by
over forty thousand majority, al
though there were also Greenback
and Temperance tickets in the field to
play into tbe hands of tbe Democracy.
The Iowa Republicans wisely refused
to endorse tbe Southern policy of tbe
Administration, but stood firmly by
their old time principles, hence there
was no division, no distrust among
them, and tbey rolled op a larger
majority than they did ten years since.
TnE air is thick with the triumph
ant crowing of the Democratic cocks,
and tbe journals of that persuasion
are gaily bedecked with cuts of strut
ting cbanticler. In fact, not to put
too fine a point on it. poultry is on
common plenty. He is but a surly
curmudgeon who begrudges the boys
a lusty hurrah over the signal victory
tbey have won in Ohio. We have
been there ourselves and can "pban
ry their pbeliuks."
Heights from Washington say
that the President has determined to
appoint General Jons M. IIarlas, of
Kentucky, to EH tbe Tacancy on the
Bench of the Supreme Court, occa
sioned by the resignation of Judge
Davis. Gen. IIarlas has always
leen a Republican, was loyal during
the war, and ranks high as a lawyer.
Of course the Southern Democrats
are opposing his appointment, and
want to be further conciliated by the
selection of a member of their own
party who sympathizer" witb treason.
A Washington correspondent pre
sents the following, which we take to
be aa accurate view of Southern poli
tical sentiment as we understand it :

The Bedford Inircr, speaking
r tke Utile interest tnken by O'aio
:epublicans in the election, says:
'Tbis apathy is largely the work of
office-holders, dissatisfied ' with tbe
civil sarrice folic of the Adminis
tration, tot who o sot represent tbe
sentiments of tbe Republican masse."
Cool and clear, decidedly. The of
fice holders were gigged and hand
cuffed by the President's order, and
now they are charged cot only with,
Wing apathetic themselves, but the
oaase of apathy in the masse whom
they "do not represent.' We move
to have thai rerdict set aside for lack
of perspicacity.
Nov let tbe Republicans of Penn

tbey are ! Let the ignoble de leat ia

The Republicans were regularly
scooped on Tuesday last. The Dem
ocratic majority is twenty-five thous
and, and upward rising. In the Leg
islature tbey will have at least forty
majorty, and will, of course, elect an
other U. S. Senator. Adieo, Mr.
Stanley Mathews, we mourn for you
as one without hope.
Tbe reasons for this disaster are
plentiful. There were six State tick
ets in the field, the least energetic of
which was tbe Republican because it
was handicapped with a plt-tform dis
tasteful to a large portion of the par
ty. There was dissatisfaction with
the proposed return to specie pay
meats ; old leaders were thrown over
board, or manacled by tbe President's
order, and bolters and demagogues
were placed in tbe fore front. And
worst of all, the Southern policy of
tbe Administration, discarding, as it
does, all former principles urged as
tbe basis of action towards tbe South,
so incensed and disgusted tbe stalwart1
Republicans of the State, that tbey
absented themselves from tbe polls to
tbe number of nearly one hundred
thousand rather than endorstby their
votes an abandonment of principles
fcr which tbey bave strenuously con
tended since the war. Of what avail
was it to nrge tbat tbe President was
sincere and honest, and that his course
was extorting praise from the Demo
crats? The veterans of tbe Slate
who bad been schooled by Joshua
R. GiPKisos, Bes Wape and their
compeers, felt rightly, or mistakenly,
tbat tbe cause tbey bad so long bat
tled for had been betrayed, and tbe
returns from tbe Western Reserve
and other Republican strongholds
tell tbe tale. Tbe lesson is a bitter
one, but may eventually prove bene
ficial, if our leaders bave tbe wit to
lay it to heart, It is readily conned,
eay of comprehension, pregnant
with meaning, and can be summed
up in this brief paragraph: The
crushing defeat in Ohio was possible
only, because the Republicans refus
ed to vote, and their abstention from
the polls was caused by the belief
that their Southern brethren have
been betrayed and abandoned by the
Administration.
jC'hlcaxo Inttr-Ocran.
OHIO.
TnE Jnkr-0 ean did no intrude its
advice upon Ohio Republicans, aud
made no complaint wnen amid tbe
ominous silence of 500 delegates the
convention at Cleveland indorsed tbe
policy of the President, and resolved
tbat his course was a wise and patri
otic one.
Ohio was tbe President's own
State, and there, if anywhere, his
course was to be commended and his
political sagacity fairly tested. Ohio
has spoken. It has repudiated tbe
policy. Tbe Republicans bave
placed tbe seal of their disapproval
on the course of the adimniarction,
and tbe State has gone to make one
more in tbe gathering of Northern
satellites tbat revolve around a solid
South. The defeat is a bitter one
it is a far Teaching and disastrous
one; but it may bave - b effect to
open the eyes of the political wise
acres who have caused it, and, if S3,
will not be wholly lost.
Two great blunders are revealed
by tbe result in Ohio.
First, tbe indorsement of tbe Pres
ident's Southern policy by the con
vention, by which an effort was made
to force Republicans who discounte
nanced tbat course into a ceetuing
approval of it, and into a quasi ap
proval of Stale sovereijrotr which
stalked in its train. The effort was
a failure. Tbe old stalwart Repnb
licana cf the Western Reserve re
belled; ibey refused to be driven into
a renunciation of tbetr principles, and
stood moodily by while the enemy
5Ied through tbe breach made by
Republican bands and carried the
fortress.
Said.Henry IV:, gazing on the stab
bed and gory garments of tbe Duke
of Burgundy; "Through these rents
tbe EDgli.ii marched into France."
So we miy say, is speaking of the
tesi.it I& Ohio: Through lb is breach
the Democracy of Ohio maretai into
power.
Tli is tb prime cause. Then came
otbew har.My leig destructive.' Tbe
convt-niiou at Cleveland was a blun
der from firet to last. . Ilacing given
an enthusiastic indorsement to a poli
ty which tke President himclfregard-'
d at tbat time with considerable
distrust, it supplemented its action
by making a financial platform, which,1
if ii meant anything at all, meant op
position to tbe overwhelming voice
of the entire West. ', It was a seeming
attempt to straddle the fence, to of
fend nobody, and take good bare tbat
nothing w&$ said, and, at tbe same
time, make a vast pretense of saying
a great deal. It seems tbat tbe as
tute managers who ran the conven
tion actually believed that they eootd
thus coddle the Republicans of Ohio
into good nature aod warm support
of the ticket. Jt Uwortb jfyjaeihing
to teach them a lesson in tuis re
gard. " ' : " ' ; i
Then came tbe ordir relating to
civil service reform, which also play-1
ed its part. ITaving' driven away a
vat number of the old ' wheel-borset
of Republicanism by a foolish Indorse-'
meat of the fe'oet&erfl nolicv. sad dis-i
gustcd a large percentage of the tool !
by tbe good Lord and cood devil 4
tyle of the declarations an to a ace J
there remained tnt one thing miri to'
do to insnre defeat,'and that "was to !
haedcuff the few remaining workers
wbo happened to hold offices, and
who felt a dJspoBTOon7""!1ke"NapoI.
ion's veteran cavalry, to' Call fn and

trumpet sounded. This ' of course
.-. ' a t? ,kw..
of'nhSn trrr .t last in .bout as com-
plete a shape for a sooud thrashing
as a party can ever be.
Tbe convention finally made a bid
for tbo votes of the workingmen by
inserting a plank urgiDg tbe settle
ment of labor difficulties by arbitra
tion ; a good enough move if it had
beea accompanied writb, or supple
mented by, some practical recognition
ot tbo Workingmen's organization.
But tbe latter required something
besides mere words and smooth phra
ses, a fact tbat we bave tried to im
press npon Chicago Republicans, and
which tbey will do well, in view of
tbe result in Ohio, to heed.
The eoQseqnence was tbat tbe bid
for tbe workingmen's vote amounted
to nothing, while tbe fact tbat it was
made dignified the movement, and
alienated many of tbo6e -w bo disa
greed witb tbe resolution. It there
fore proved worse than useless, though
framed, lo doubt, with a sincere de
sire to pi ice tbe party in a fair posi
tion toward labor and do justice by
tbe woikingmen.
Here, then, we have the result in
tbe President's own State of tbe
President's own policy. We ask Re
publicans what tbey think of the fruit?
Of course tbo triumph in Ohio means
a Democratic Senator, and with this
goes almost tbe last hope for contin
ued Republican supremacy in the
United States Senate.: . The fact that
.a 1-1.1
a Senator was to oe eieciea arw
many Republicans to tbe polls on
Tuesday w ho would not have other
wise gone, and saved tbe party from
annihilation. If there bad been a
certainty that a straight Republican
would have been chosen, and that
Stanley Matthews would not become
bis own successor, tbe Legislature
might have been 6aved ; tbe doubt
dashed tbat possibility to tbe earth.
Hen, then, as we said, we bave
the result : Maine refuses to leave
ber old Republican landmarks to run
off afier the new gospel of the Presi
dent, and Maine elects her Republic
an State ticket by 12,000 majority.
Iowa, first of Republican States,
defeats an effort to commit her to the
Southern policy, and sendj in a maj-
oritv on tbe old side of 30,000.
Ohio indorsee, approves, yields ;
and Ohio is lost. What comment ia
needed ? What language so powerful
as these potent facts to tell the story
of Republican disaster, and tbe blun
der wbich caused it.

From tht I'liiLidcliilila North American.
If, as bas been so industriously affirm
ed, tbe President has interpreted tbe
will of tbe masses of tbe Republican
party in wbat he bas done, Obio
ought to bave given a respectable
majority for tbe Republican candi
dates. It bas been said tbat tbe dis
sent from the policy of tbo President
was confined to tbe politicians, or tbe
men cf affairs, and tbat tbe masses
were heart and soul in accord with
tbat policy. We bave never seen
any evidence of tbe fact, if it be a
fact save in tbe assertions of tbe press.
Tbe people or tbe Republican mass
es properly speaking bave never
given any sign of approval of that
policy.
From the New York World Pcmoerat.
But in these days platforms do not
mean anything, and party politicians
do not kno-v what tbey are about
Tbe Republicans of Ohio will not re
joice in the sweeping victory of the
Democrats. In the first place, while
tbe victory will make an end virtual
ly of the Republican party organiza
tion in the West, it insures a disas
trous collapse of the same organiza
tion in Pennsylvania and in New
York. In tbe next place it demon
strates tbe fact, lonr; plain to all can
did and observing men, tbat in adopt
ing and carrying out tbe Democratic
policy of justice and conciliation to
tbe south, President Hayes has
given an impulse to the principles of
tbe Democratic party wnicn it is ut
terly childish for himself and his ad
visers to suppose that they can con
trol and direct to serve the purposes
of the party wbich bas contended
against those principles for years,
and which has in truth no reason
whatever for existing excepting a.s
tbe antagonist of those principles.
From the St Luuin Glulje-Pemorrat.
A Democratic victory in a Repub
lican State can be interpreted only as
a rebuke to the mistaken policy of a
Republican Administration. A poli
cy which commenced by ignoring
representative Republicans in tbe
rejection of a Cabinet, and which pro
ceeded, step by step, in the direction
of party obliteration until it "o'er
leaped itself and landed on the giber
side," could expect no other reward
than tbat wbkn it received yesterday.
We are oo( disappointed, however,
much we may be chagrined, at tbe
figures which come to us. Tbey tel)
a story which bas been familiar to

that every important at of tbe Pres
ident has tended to weaken the Re

Democratic party. If is Batterers

It does not predominate, but it is suf

assurance tbat tbe President's policy
extorts praise from tbe Democracy ?
Tne fact remains that the Southern
people do not allow tbe conciliatory
acts of tlie Administration to . wean
them from their alliance with the
Democratic party, and that the Dem

continue to vote for their own candi

evinced its eympatby with him by
sharing bis nonpartisan ideas of duty,

Tbe concessions, however, are as yet
all on one side, and Republicans are
divided in consequence. What tbe
divisions may amount to, a few more

KallroiMt Accident.
Boston, October 4 Two shocking
accidents occurred on the Boston and
Albany Road to-day. In one, two
ladies, Mrs. Nelson Bulmore and a
Mrs. Laramie, of Cochituate, were
killed. Tbey had left their homes in
a buggy to drive to Waltbam. Tbey
bad lost tbeir way and were on tbe
Stokers' crossing of tbe Boston and
Albany Railroad when tbe accident
occurred. Tbe crossing which ia a
private one acd not guarded by a
ilagmau, is about a quarter of a mile
above tbe Grantsville Station, and
was approached by tbe carriage and
itaoccupaotsju&t as the freight train
came along. After waiting for tbo
train to pass the ladies started to
cross the track, and at tbat moment
tbe New York express, wbich reach
es Grant8ville at about 4 o'clock,
came rushing down upon them at tbe
raus of thirty-five miies an hour. The
body of tbo carriage was struck by
tbe ensrine and was shattered to
pieces, the bo'se escaping unharmed
Tbe ladies were thrown with great
violence against tbe boi.er bead aad
were instantly killed. Tbe bodies
were carried some distance on the
pilot. Tbe train was stoppei as
soon as possible, but life was extinct.
Tbe bodies and tbe remains of tbe
carriage were taken to the station.
Tbe injuries w ere found to be chiefly
on their heads, which were badly
crushed.
Tbe other accident occurred at An
burndale earlier in the day. A girl
nine rears of age, a daughter of Mi
chael McCarthy, was crossing the
track of the Boston and Albany Rail
road, when she was struck by an outward-bound
noon train, and received
fatal injuries. She was ccming from
school, in company with two other
girls, and attempted to cross the
track just after tbe freight train had
passed. She was warned by tbe
fireman, but not noticeing the ap
proaching train, which was going at
a high speed, persisted in continuing.
Sbe was struck in tbe back of her
head by the pilot of the engine Non-
antuin, and carried about a hundred
feet, when sbe was thrown off on a
pile of stones. Sbe was piekod up
insensible and carried to tbe flag
bouse, where sbe died in about an
hour.

Oar party bas suffered an appar

only local and temporary significance.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania
will be neither disarmed or dismayed.
Tbe great and patriotic record of tbe
party in tbe past is not to be obscur
ed, nor will it be arrested in its prog
ress until it eball bavo finished its
mission.
Our November contest involves
State questions of great importance.
A Judge of tbe Supreme Court is to
bo elected. For this position you
bave presented the faiihful incum
bent of that high office, Hon. James
P. Sterret a candidate of undoubted
learning, ability and integrity, who
has already fully illustrated tbe qual -
ities by long service on the bench
Tbe financial agents of tbe State are
to be elected, and in pre ntiug Hon.
John A. M. Passraore for Auditor
General and Captain William B.
Hart for State Treasurer, you have
chosen gentlemen who combine every
qualification necessary for tbe com
petent discharge of tboir duties, and
the record of whose private and pub
lic lives is nnsulliei.
In this branch of your interests
your party bas given tbe highest
evidences of skill and honesty. Since
your advent to power you bave re
duced tbe btate debt from $4 1.000,000
in ISG1, to $22,000,000 at thepreseut
time, w ith asneu maturing and pled -
sil fur Inn nivtnpnt nf thn Slaa H0I1-.
ed for the payment of tbe Saie deb',
amounting to $3,000,000, leaving a
net indebtedness of only $14,000,000
to be provided for, nLowiog an actu
al reduction under Republican ad
ministration of $27,000,000. We
bave given the most unquestioued
assurances that mr nominees will go
on with tbo policy ot retrenchment
and financial honesty. At this da'.e
not a dollar of Mate taxes is levied
upon the real estate in tbe Common -
wealth.
In national matters it remains to
be demonstrated tbai tbe equal rights
of all bave been completely vindi
cated. It ii not yet true tbat a Re
publican in the South enjoys all the
political privileges ot a Democrat lu
the North.-- The great Republican
party, either in tbis State or in tbe
nation, will not have closed its labors
or accomplished its purposes until
all tbe rights guaranteed by ibe
Constitution of tbe United States are
practical facts, fully incorporated into
tbe daily life of the people North and
Sooth alike.
Tbe coming struggle in Pennsyl
vania is of supreme importance to tbe
welfare of lbs people, wbo through
the busy efforts of demagogues, have
been kept uneaey and restless. Much
as we deplore tbn prostration of in
dustrial interests in tbe land, we
remind yon tbat tbis condition of
things is not tbe result of govern
mental policy, and tbat Eogland and
tbe other .nations of Europe are til
sulTeriogin like manner and from like
cause.
Tbe constantly increasing signs of
treshly awakened prosperity show
that tbe Republican administration
of affairs during an important crisis
bas been prudent and sagacious.
Should tbe continuance of this wise
Republican control be assured by
your votes tbe fact cannot be doub
ed tbat tbe time bas nearly arrived
when, by tbe laws of trade, the
greenback dollar will be tbe equiva
lent of a gold dollar, and tbe laborer
will receive for bis day's labor tbe
dollar which promises its full ex
changeable value. And thus labor
and capital will find full employ
ment
To those of our fellow-citizens who
have been misled by false pretense
and by ingenious sophistry, and who
bave wavered in tbeir allegiance t"
the partr which bas been tbe con
stant champion of American labor,
we appeal for a c.itical judgment ot tbe
insincerity of the professions ot loose
agitators in tbe Democratic party
wbo, claiming to represent labor,
bave uniformly betrayed it at the
doIIs. In Ohio, as on former occa
sions, tbe ony bonest adherents of
tbe 80-cjllpd !'mue ioes'' were
drawn from the Republican ranks
Deceived by false protestatiopa and
betrayed by aa insincere alliance,
tbey bave not aided tbeir own oauso,
but bave placed tbe garlands of vie-
tory at tbe feet of tbeir worst ene
mies. Tbe lesson of Ohio should
teach tbe avoidance of so fatal a blun
der in Pennsylvania.
The Republican voters of the State
mun recognize their duty and go
promptly to its discharge. We call
upon yon to act in your townships
and Wards. Tbe work to be done is
to doH tbe Republican vote ; it is your
wora, ana must, De accompiisoea oy
active and earnest effort.

airs. Tbe party arrived at 1 1 o'clock,
and were immediately driven to tbe
fair grounds and conducted, to the
main stand, where Mr. Hayes was
introduced amid great cheering.
Hon. John Ritchie then delivered an

Then you came as a soldier, carnage
and desolation ruled the scene, down
the side of tbat very mountain your

bleeding from tbe battle that raged
across it and under its shadow you
were nursed by tbe gentle ban Is of
your own people to health and vigor

merly treated so well in the county
of Frederick tbat I shall always re
