"Joseph Beklix, of Westmoreland count v, voted for Jefferson, and for every Democratic presidential candi date since. lie was ninety 6ix when he voted for Tilden old enough to know better." The question that heaves the bosom of Pennsylvania Democracy is that if it is not to be Samuel Tilden at Cincin nati, it may be Samuel R.indall. That is what lie meant wuen he said lli;s is the happiest moment of my life," A uxr of Democratic statesmen at tendant on the late State Convention at Harrisbnrg, were indicted, and a true bill found by tho Dauphin coun- tv Grind Jury, for "pointing hre- arms." They were released on bail, for trial at the August term of court 'A PrrrsBCRO pastor has been dis missed because he could not make loth ends meet He ran in debt urettv heavilv, and the church, in stead of paving him a bigger salary, concluded to get a minister who could live on what they were willing to give. It is said that "the recent election in England cost the Gladstone party alone ten millions of dollars, exclu sive of personal expenses of candi dates, -which ranged from five thou sand to fifty thousand dollars. Let not the English press say anything, after this, about the use of money in American politics. Ma. Samuel Randall was Tilden's mm at Harrisburg. and he got his plans accomplished. They voted down the nnit rule, and send the dul egation to Cincinnati uninstructed. It is the work of Tilden. He is not for Hancock. If he wants the nomi nation, the Democracy will give it to him. He is determined to be in a position to dictate the nomination in case he concludes not to have it him self. Mb. Scott, one of the delegates at large, elected by the Democratic St-ite Convention to go to Cincin nati, made a public announcement in convention of the opening of the barrel. He told the convention that delegates elected to go to Cincinnati should not trouble themselvs about securing quarters while attending the National Convention, because all that will be attended to for them without cost. If that does not fix them for S. J. it may fix them for S- R, and then what s the difference. That a hard kind of people attended tbe Democratic State convention that met at Harrisburg last Wednesday may be learned from tbe following from a Harrisburg paper ; Tbe people of Harrisburg did not know of tbe volca no on which tbey slept tbe night be fore tbe meeting of tbe Convention. Tbe worst element in tbe State, gath ered from all quarters, was congregat ed in oar city, and from ten o'clock last eight until three o'clock this morning there was a succession of rows riots and fights that only tb brave and determined efforts of our small band of police were able to partially subdue. Factions met and hammered each oth er, old feuds, were revived and tbe knife acd tbe pistol superseded the tbe fist as a means of injury. While tbe police were attempting to suppress a row at the foot of Matket street a vigorous fight would be started some where in tbe vicinity of Third and Mar ket. Near tbe depot a gang of roughs wearing white bats stood on the pavement and nncermoniously knocked down every person who came by. One of them tackled tbe wrong custom er in tbe shape of a Harrisburg nia cbineist, and was knocked so fctiff tbat it was only by drenching bim with wa ter and rigorously rubbing bim that be was restored to consciousness. Towards midnight tbe Mayor saw tbat the police force was too small and be swore in sufficient special po liceman to double it A numbsi' of citizens, alarmed for tbe safety of tbe place, were ready to respond to any call for help. A prominent Pbi'adalpbiao, who knew the crowd in our midst, sent word to ihe Mayor tbat be most use every precaution or there wonld be a general row on our streets. Of coarse all care was taken to surpress as much as possible tbe riotom element. Short ly after midnight a general fight was started in the vicinity of Market and Canal streets and knock-downs were nnnierous. A policeman in trying to quell the disturbance is reported to have been beaten badly. Two ef the roughs were knocked down an area at tbe United States Hotel, but tbey were not much injured. On being helped up, tbey threw inte tbe area a small colored boy to get tbeir bats. Tbe boy was hurt considerably. About three o'clock tbis morning a party of them got into tbo Gracd Ho tel, and during the dispute a free figbt was started. Pistols were drawn and tbe mob began firing indiscriminately Fire Commisioner Franff Ilaggerty, of Philadelphia, shot at a man named Conner, an employee of tbe coroner's office, Philadelphia, and missed him, the bullet grazing the chin of a man named Young. Towards daylight tbe fighting died ont There was a oesssation of bostil- ! itiea, tl weary fighters ret'.reing to vk rst.. Democratic Platform, aa Adopted Last Week at Hams burg. The Democrat-; Pktform, as adopt ed by the State Converts last week, is composed of twelve resolutions. Tue nrst resolve is to stand by tbo faith of the Democratic fathers of the past, and may be construed to mean to adopt slavery and every thing else that Democratic fathers ad vocated in the pr.8t The second resolve is not so dan gerous a one. It resolves that the liberties of the people are vital to the life of the nation. The Republi cans thought so when they gave free dom to the colored people. The third resolve is in regard to keeping the military power under the civil power. They forgot to put into the resolution that the Republican pirty had to raise armies to crush out the military power of Rebellion, which overthrew the civil power of the nation wherever it could do so. The fourth resolve is in regard to a free ballot. They forgot that Demo crats and Democratic rebels made, it necessary c-ftimes to call out the niili tiry to secure men ngainst the as sault f the bully at the polls, who sought to keep people from voting a free ballot The fifth resolve is that President Hayes does not hold his seat by a leg:d decision of the people at the polls, which is correct, for there has not been a legal election held in the South since the war ; people there have been bull-dozed into voting against their convictions. The sixth resolve favors a currency redeemable in coin, which the Repub licans have always done. If they be lieve that such a Republican plank will help them they can have it The seventh resolve declares against a system of subsidies by the Govern ment, State and Nation, and gives it to rings, corporations, &c but it does not say that it favors the action of the Democratic Daddies on those points ; that would be a little dan gerous in the light of the fact of the corporate bank charter business that Democratic Legislatures used to in dulge in, and in the light of the fact of the canal ring business in Penn sylvania. They don't want the his tory of the Democratic fathers on those point's. The eighth resolve is that the Dem ocratic party is the friend of the workingmen. Here again history is against Democracy, for it was Dem ocracy that organised rebellion to en slave workingmen. The ninth resolve is against trans portation companies being put on a plane above the law. The tenth resolve is an effort to create the impression that Republi cans, more than other people, were trying to get the four million riot damage bill through the Legislature of Pennsylvania. The history of the case is against the platform, and clearly proves that it was the busi ness of the Commonwealth and not the politics that sought to get the four million bill through. The lead ing men against the four million bill were Republicans, and the leading men against the bribing lobby were Republicans. The eleventh resolve is in regard to the Hayes and Tilden campaign, and charges that Hayes did not re ceive his election by righteous means. The right way to answer and settle that question, will be for the people to vote for the Republican Presiden tial candidate in such numbers that his majority will be too large to dis pute over. The twelfth resolve is that Demo cratic Delegates to the National Con vention are instructed to vote as uuit upon all questions, and they are fur ther instructed to oppose the abro gation of the two-thirds rule. Fishermen' at Columbia dam at tempted to prevent tbe State fish war den from keeping a " watch" on duty day and night, to find out who is vio lating tbe state nu law. ibe guar diaos of the law were assaulted, tbeir boats were broken, they were pushed into tbe water, and subjected to great indignities. At the session of the National But ter, Egg and Cheese convention at Indianapolis, on Thursday, a resoln tion was adopted that trade relations be stopped with all commission houses selling oleomargarine.
