The Pittsburgh Post on Tuesday
last announced that State Treasurer
Mackey had a large Deposit with
the Union Banking Company which
failed a few days before, and that
the State would lose halt a million
or more. The same day Mr. Mack-
ey telegraphed lion. IL 13. Swoope
that the report was false, and the
fiState would not lose one dollar by'
the failure of that or any other Bank . :
`"The Post was compelled to retract,
land thus the first attempt/of the
Dem , lcratic Press to assail hp, or
t
his management of State , nanees
-has redoundea - to hised-tt. It is
~

viell known that / tinder the former

- three out-of five would ha ve named
those very banks. Mr. Mackey is
entitled to the credit of saving the
money of the commonwealth. His
wisdom and foresight alone prompt
ed the withdrawal of:, the public
monies from those institutions. Had
tke Money been lost he would have
been acquitted of blame because be
bad the money deposited in what
was at the time regarded, as the
safest banks in the State. He saved
the State half a - million of d0:.:,1,,
and for this be is entitled to the
gratitnde of every tax payer in the
commonwealth. When the Chicago
fire brought ruin to Philadelphia
and other eastern cities, causing the
'saspension of a number of banks of
,the best standing, among others that
of C. F. Yerkes and Company by
which the State lost one hundred
arid fifty thousand dollars, he
stepped forward and assumed the
loss, paying every dollar into the
`Treasury. There is probably not
another man in the State that would
or could have dole the same. In all
our financial difficultieS he has pro
tected the Treasury from loss, and
maintained the credit of thy- Corn
,
Inonwealtb. Because of is great
ability and his successful manage
ment of our finances, he was nomi
nated byslnlepublican party for
election by the people under our
amended, constitution and the peo
ple have already ratified that nomi
nation by an indorsement seldom
ever received by a candidate. His
election is beyond doubt - and by a
majority such as no man ever re
ceived at an election other than
Presidential, since the organization
of the coinnionsiealth: as an officer
be has had nor superior and • few
_equals, and as a man he has more
warm devoted frieAs than any
.4i:her public man in the common
wealth. TLS• people are his debt
ors and cannot afford to dispense
with his services. The more his
inana;:ement of the Treasury is un
derstood the more this fact will be
apparent and the larger his majori
ty will be. For this reason the
Democratic press, and politicians
let him alone and have conceded his
election ever since his almost unani-
mous nomination.
TUE Governor has been asked \ to
sign a number of bills which i pA Leg
islature never passed. He thinks
the State might dispense with the
attendance of members' and save
in)ney thereby, by permitting the
c:erks to pass all necessary laws.

livention is called to this sugges-

DECBEASE4IF I mr,rtruLtc DEBT.
The official treasury statement for.
August, showed that during that
month the public debt was decreas
ed six milltion seven h,undzed and
fifty two thousand eight hundred and
icenty nine dollars and twenty nine
cents. The Republican pares-'has
kept its pledge to extinguish the
`public debt as rapidly as is prudent
with due consideration of other in
terests, and the official figurol make
Wong arguhlient in favor of keer
l ing in power a party that titian&

ise and increasing the prosperity of
the country.
THE THUSDEI{BOLT.
H The ti - 4.ncial crash came upon the
country like a cliP of thunder out of
i j A clear sky. Jay Cooke and Co.
irEisk and Hatch, HEnry Clews and
Co, and a large number of smaller
concerns were prostrated by the se
verity of the stroke. The panic
that resulted from these failures was
wide spread and deplorable, and
caused a general calling in of loans,
and increasing demands upon the
, banks- The stringency of the mon
ey market beonme almost unendura
ble, and many firms could not get
money on their securities, and were
thus forced to go under. The price
of stocks fell and fluctuated beyond
all qxample, and enormous rates
were paid to have stocks carried
over night. It is impossible to sum
up the injury that has overtaken
tine business community. The crash
has taught a lesson that will not
soon be forgotten, arid in order that
it may ofitable, the causes that

the former weighed down with
Northern Pacific bonds, the latter
carrying Chesapeake and Ohio.
Railroad building has been pushed
in certain sections beyond the limit
of prudence, and a vast amount of
money expended that is now virtii
ally unproductive. These enterprises
in a national point of view may be
wise, but they are evidently non
paying concerns in dollars and cents,
and hence tho§e, individuals who
have paid out their funds for them,
now suffer the result of their, foolish-
n.se.
Thousands of miles of railroad
ave been built within a few years
that can hardly be made to-pay sim

trade and the losseans, 'the
chief sufferers. The inordinate .:de
sire to get immensely rich has in
duced many otherwise good men, to
embark in wild cat speculations and
risky enterprises that involve the ex
penditure of large sums of money.
Sometimes the enterprise is of such
a magnitude as would justify only a
Government to undertake, but it is
legalized and made a stock concern
and by advertising, the stock is
sold to the people. Finally the bub

working men suff(Fr such injustice

of our business men, and if less rap

many business transactions are no
better than gambling. It is impos

The following section fixing the
number of Representatives in the
Lower House of the Legislature was
adopted by_a close vote in the con
vention, after an exciting debate.
To the masses it will be about as
clear as a problem in Euclid. In
case of its adoption, Beaver
County w:11 get two members and
Forest with one tenth of our popu
lation one. The convention seems
determined to submit a constitution
I , lw can understand, and no one
have the time to read. To secure
adoption, common sense would sug
gest a different course.
The members bf the House of Repre
sentatives shall be apportioned among the
several counties according to population,
on a ratio to be obtained by dividing the
whole population of the State, as tiscer
tained by the most recent United States.
census, by two hundred. Any county,
including Phil idelphia, having more than
one ratio shall be entitled to a member
for each full ratio, but each county shall
be given at least one member; and coun•
ties shall not be j )ined to form a di 3trict.
, Any county having less than five ratios
shall have an additional member fora sur

when its population equals the ratio, but

members.
The Democrats are making;u ,de
termined effort to defeat Getirge W.
Shroads, our candidate for Commis
sioner. Their purpose is to get the
Commissioner this year, and then
if the new constitution is- adopted
with the Buckalew clause in, requi
ring the election of two Commission
ers next year, neither party to vote
for more than one'; they may 'get con
trol of the Board, - This is # sharp
trick, but it won't win. The Repub
licans of Beaker countydori't intend
to give the mino44ty the --control of
that office. Republicans in every.
part of the county should be on
their guard however, and see that
every vote is polled for Commission
er. Xfter thaonstitution is adopt
ed, we will be compelled to give' the
Democrats one member of the B ,ard
and thati - s-alt-they are entitled too.
Mr. Shroads is an intelligent farmer,
possessing far - more than ordinary
qualifications fur the office, and is
beside a good _citizen and a live Re
publican who' deserves is much
from the pa ..t any man in the
county. lie 4ould — ,irid we trust

THE folloWing amendments adopt
ed by the Constitutional Convention
almost unanimously will meet the
approval of the people. After the
example of the New York Lela
nre it is important such provisions
were incorporated in our organic
law to check the tendency of our
Legislature in the sante direction.
No appropriation shall be made to any
charitable or educational institution not

TUE Republican State Convention
in New York met at Utica on the

OWING to the local popularity of
Judge Ludlow in Philadelphia,
Judge Gordon may iun behind his
ticket in that city. Tho cog , try,
and especially the of
.the State should ntak. 'tip 'what he
will lose there. Judge Gordon is
more popular, the more he bec6mes
known, and his character and quali
fications are such as will satisfy all,
that h... will be useful on the Bench, -
and - the peer of any one of his associ
ates. We hope that every Republi
can in the county go to the
polls and vote for Judge Gordon.
Dui the panic in Philadelphia
when every hour witnessed the sus
pension of some Banking institution,
a Reformer rushed down Third street
exclaiming: "Thank God Widener
City Treasurer \ has gone up!" It
turned out Widener had tret, gone
up financially, not having lost a dol
lar by the failures, but his majority
is going up every day and will be
the largest ever given in Aire city, as
it ought to be.
