The Senatorial contest in New
York now being waged in the Leg
islature at Albany, presents. several'
.-cry ritiionlotu! ThG.Repub
iican member-a of both houses im
mediately upon the nominatilin by
the President of General Robertson
to le collector of the Port of New
York, unanimously indorsed his
nomination, and . recyrnmended that
the Senate confirm his appointment.
The two Senator* representing Ne
York in the Senate Of the United
States object to Mr. Robertson's con
firmation, , refuse to obey the ex
.-pressed. will of the people they were
in duty bound to represent as indi
cated through their representatives
at Albany, quarrel with . the 'Presi
dent because be will not withdraw
Mr. RobertsOn's nornination, and wish
their fellow Senators because they
would not refuse 'to confirm him,
•
and • - In an outburst of indignant
paEsion resign their • seats and go
back to Albany for a vindication of
ilbtaltf oat ;:t Inn s.
I -highest vote Mr. Platt has been
able<to obtain out of a total of 103 is
. 29.-- In other words, there are fl 9
Republican members against ,Mr.
Conkling's return , to the Senate and
34 in favor. There are 74 members
_against Mr. flat(" — return to the Sen
ate and 29 in favilr. In the case of
Mr. Colliding 34 :ii - ietniers have stul
tified lbeir recerd recommending
Mr. Robertson's confirmation, and
2'i have EA) done in the easel of Mr.
Platt. The resigning Senators fail
ed to dictate the President, fitiled to
control their fellow Senators and de
feat Mr. Robertson'S confirmation
and-have signally failed of a vindica
tion by their Legislature. Every
Republican member voting fox them
stultifies himself. Could the situa
lion be made more ridiculous? The
ex-Senators are certainly humiliated

PREVENTION OP BRIBERY
AND FRAUD AT PRIMARY
ELECTIONS.
— As will be seen by reading the law
elsewhere published in these col
umns, the Legislature has wisely en
acted • that fine and imprisonment
shall follow conviction of fraud and
bribery committed at delegate elec
tions, primary electrons and nomi
nating conventions. It will be the
duty of all good- citizens to see that
the law is respected and enforced
There,are practices rife in the'Re
publican 'organization of Bradford
county in respect to procuring nomi
nations to offiice, that Republicans
ought not to tolerate. The practice
of using money to influence delegate
elections, the purchase of delegates
to misrepresent their coastituents
in county txmainating conventions,
the practice of a multiplicity of can
didates for important offices traf
ficking on their delegates in the
county convention, the Stronger buy
ing off the weaker, and paying a con
sideration in order to secure a com
bination of strength to effect a pore-
Motion. These things have been
shamelessly done: Men professing
leadership in the party have given
aid- and encouragement to these
demoralizing practices. llt is time
the public conscience :became stirred
with a moral sense of decency and
propriety in respect to these' things,
and men should frown upon and re
ject the leadership of those • who are
known to be guilty of practicing
them. Nominations fairly made,
upon honest principles of represen
tation, unless the nominee is found
to be incapacitated or morally tainted
by corruption and dishonesty, bind
adherents of Republican principles
to the support of the candidate.
But purchased nominations bind
nobody. We have' in our mind now,
men wefi known in the county, who
have trafficked in delegates for years.
Not only this, but they have traffick
ed away to the opposite party the suc
cess of Republican candidates fairly
nominated, for a consideration in
money. We give notice in time,
that if men of this class are forced
upon the ticket this fall as candidates
for office, we shall ask the Republi
cans of the county to defeat them at
the polls. In the interest of politi
cal integrity and decency it is the
duty of Republicans to set their fa
ces like steel against the promotion
of such men to official position.
Neither our vote nor the service of
the REIT/1L1C?43 will be given, either
for the nomination of such men- - or
for their success at the polls if.nomi
noted. We own ourself and pro
pose to exert our influence earnestly
for the correction of existing abuses
in this regard. Good nominations
fairly made by our party will receive
our most cordial and hearty support.
We entertain an abiding affection
and attachment for the living prin
ciples of the Republican party in
j;ioik;GOidly'byanti nee the
gill
party and its principles dishonored,
and defeated by the disreputable
practices of men. who traffic upon the
influences they are. enabled to wield
through the corrupting - use of money.
This practice has so corrupted our
primary elections and 'nominating
conventions that it has become a dis
gusting political stench- ; in the nos
trils of fair-minded citizens. It is
not too late for men who have been
drawn into it by the . 'influence
of bad leaders, to correct' the abide
by refraining to further be influent-.
el by them. ,_lieep aloof, a . . 54 square
ly and openly from honest motives
for the right, and a good conscience
will be your reward.
The law referred to will be rigidly
enforced against offenders. Those
who dare to disregard it will look
fine and imprisonment squarely in
a., num. ror once we shall hope
that the choice of the_ majority of
the party fairly expressed will pre
vail in our nominating convention.
To the other complications sur
rounding the Senatorial struggle in
the New York Legislature, is added
the charge preferred by Representa
tive Bradley of Olean, N: Y., against
Senator Sessions of Chautauqua, of
attempted bribery. Mr, Bradley
claims to havp received s2,ooo'from.
Senator Sessions as a consideration
for changing his vote from Conk
ling to Depew. He deposited the
money with Speaker Sharpe, and ex
posed the transaction on the floor of
the House. Mr. ' Bradley swears
positively that the money was paid
him by Mr. Sessions, and Mr. Ses
aimia sus positively denies if,. Wino,
the outcome may be we venture no
opinion. - -
General Grant has been interview
ed again, and reiterates - SOW very
foolish talk regarding the Conkling
and Platt fight with the administra
tion. He asserts the'right of a;Sen
ator to control all appointment's in
his State, and the duty of his fellow
Senators to - act in accordance with
his wishes in rejecting or con
firming such nominations: This
enough. The country wants no
more of such foolishness. This is
the full ineasure,of Stalwartism in
politics.
Is Secretary Blaine a staliart or a
lialf-breed ?

A suit'against the estate - of the lute
Ata Packer has been instituted in the
Orphatt'S Court, in Philfulelphia, in
which a share of the estate amounting
to more than $2,000,000 is claimed for
the heirs of - Barnabas Hatumett_and
Joseph Noble who formerly composed•
the coal mining firm of Noble, Hammel
& CO. The claim dates froin a contract
made on Feb. 1, 1853, when Mr. Packer
was working hard to build the Lehigh
Valley road. He izas deeply in debt
and obliged to raise money in every
honorable way he could.

MR. BRADLEY FINDICA
TED AT HOME.
The Olean - (N. Y.) Daily Tune",
of June iltb, Elblislift the following
defense of the private character Hon.'
Samuel H. .Bradley, the member
from Gittaraugns county, residing at
Olean, who claims to have been paid
$2,000, by Senator Sessions to influ
ence hismote for U. S. Senator, as a
member of the New Yorli Legislature:
Since .the startling denotement on
Ttalisday in tile Assembly chambei at
Albany, certain newspapers have sought
to pour zentempt on Mr. Bradley by
allosions to his character and past
4hile some things said have a color of
ruth and - a basis in fac ., ,yr . others are
*holy gratuitous • and utterly fise.
Mr. Bradley has'never sought to cover
up anything. When quite a • young
man he, like thousands of young men,
led a fast life and became addicted to
the use of intoxicating *inks. That
was many years ago. When be reach
ed man's estate he put sway childish
follies . and dissipations. Let this stand
to his credit. Let it ra t• be brought
against him at this lite day to degrade
and belittle him in the eyes of the peo
ple. His reformation cost him a strug
gle and be went through it manfully
and heroically and came off victorious.
clod, pity the venomous pens that are
trying to write him down on the ground
of his former disipated habits. He
has been for many years a total ab
starter and conducted.himself in all
respects in an honorable, neright man
ner, Ho hies been engaged,in a legiti
mate busines, that of producing oil,
and bas given it his whole time and at
tention. In this manner be has acquir
ed a handsome fortune and is placed
above temptation from the money pow
ei of either lobbyists or corporations.
Previous to the developments in the
Bradford oil field, Mr. Bradley was en
gaged in business in Cincinnati and
New Orleans, and_ at a still earlier per
iod'he entered the Union army and . im
periled his life in his country's service.
To this day he bears in his pensini the
t•cars which brand him a patriotic citi
zen and heroic soldier. It is useless
therefore, to : . deny to him all the ele
ments of manly character. It is
famous for the Republican press to re
fer in such; contemptuous terms to his
earlier career and in this manner try to
manufsetere s hostile public sentiment
against him. His townsmen and
the citizens of Cattarraugus county
know him. for just • what •he is, and
they believe in him. They, honor him.
_They confide in hie integrity of pur
pose and character. Twice-has Olean
sent him to the county legislature. A
year ago the Olean Fire Department
,Elected him Chief Engineer. Last
Fall•the voters of the First Assembly
District of Cattaraogns county decid-
ed that be should go to Albany. There
wax no division of the -party on his
nomination or on the question of • his
election. His majority was not quite
what it ;would have been had not the
Democrats and a few Republican mal
contents quietly worked against him,
pnrsnading some that he. was 'yet a
drunker], and on the other band array
ing• the whole liquor interest of the
district against him by . representations
of his stubborn and unalterable hostili
ty to their tracffic. &But he W 149 elect
,.,:tittteratatirtimit t'firsal
the lying representations that are Made
made against this man's integrity and
foriner character. Whatever may be
the result of the investigation at Al
bany (and we believe it - will not be un
favorable to Mr. Bradley) it ' will nev
ertheleEs remain true that his record
for the put
_dozen or fifteen years is
one that he may well be proud-of:
The folloWing ticket was chosen by
the Republicans of Ohio, in convention

worth being renominations:
Governor .Charlea Foster.
Lieut. iGovernor: .J. G. Richards.
Treasurer Joseph Turney.
Supreme Judge ; -Nicholas Longworth.
Attorney General. George K. Nash.
The platform adopted indorses the
Adminiatration of President Garfield
and of Cloveruor Foster, congratulating
the latter on the successful refunding of
the State debt ut a rate less than 34 per
cent. interest. The temperance plank
is as follower - ;
Resolved, That ; the pablic interests re
quire that the General Aisembly,should
submit to a vote of the• people such
amendments to the Constitution of the
State relative to the manufacture, sale
and use of intoxicating liquors as shall
leave the whole matter to Legislation.
Senator Sherman. presi4l and inside
a ringing speech, indorsing the national
administration, hithe • course of which
he said, "we have , -no' room in this
country for a leader who commands
and dictates. We have a gr - eit people.
Our conventions are gathere4 from all
parts of our 'broad State, brought here
as free men. There r ever has been;
and there never will be, room for a
primate or boss." °He congratulated
the-people on the .successful financial
measures adopted by cretary Windarn
of the Treasury, saying:
"The. financial policy of the last Ad
ministration has been supplemented by
the redaction - of' the rate of interest on
stiho,ooo,ooo of the public- securities,'
from 5 and 6 per cent . to 3l per cent.
This wise measu re has been Carefully
and most skillfully managed by Secre
tary Windom, an Ohiol boy. 'Up
plume.] They are saving; $15,000,000
a year, and now the debt Which
frightened brave men fifteen -years ago
his melted away like snow Wore a
/ Summer sun."
His utterances were enthusiastically
applauded. With this ticket, Olio - will
g 9 forward with a united andharmo
' ft
niour Republican party to certain vic
tory. But alas 1 Where is New York?
Too much Conkling has stricten her
with political blight.

It is to be 'Miscue,' regretted. that

Albany. It seems a pity that this mu
test, bud enough at best. - is to Sarnia' Is
material far& "serious' rapture in the
party is New }York, and probably be
tieen the friends of each throughout
the country. While the interest of
harmony, thteie letters have not bee ' b
shaped in tile interest of either Isetion,
tbiok the come when it be-'
comes the duty of, ail Re:Publicans' to
to look into the matter, and help stamp
froni she party- roster Jim tusnleil of
thoe wen who have acted fitlaely in
this' contest., And now that charges
have been made let them be sifted to
.the bottom. If it be found that they
ire false then let. Mr. Cenkling take a
back seat in the party councils, or if
they be found true, then let Mr. Depew
retire to private life, and Senatoliies
alone to the
: penitentiary. The whole
thing is deplorable in the extreme, and
will not be to the future advantage of
the part* if something is not done at
once to end the session of the Legisla
ture. Ithink in the interest of decency
the Legislature should adjohin until
sometime in. October, go home, learn
what they want or should do, then go
to Albany and elect Senators.
.'The Virginia situation. is coming in
for a good share of attention here now,
and there are many speculations as to
what the Administration will do to aid
the Iteadjusters and the straight Re-
publicans. It won't do anything until
after the Republicans have held their
convention. The candidates, if any are
nominated, and the platform ' adopted
will thcide the President what coarse to
pursue.
Nearly Tall the Census Office clerks
now on the rolls have agreed to, work
as a volunteer force. and trust to Con
gress for payment. • That Cengreaa 'will
take up the matter immediately upon
re-assembling there is no doubt. But
still the long 'wait will tie riously incon
venience many here away from home,
without means to bridge over. The
work will g 0 .2. however, and will be
completed at very nearly the time first
named, viz: December . let 1881. • I
have not space to go on into details over
the character of the coming report.
But it will be an encyclopedia of never
ending interest hi all Americans. The
purely statistical part will be the most
complete, of its kind ever published in
the world, anii the general information
Concerning the country, its people; and
their habits, characteristics; etc., will
be more than "worth the money arid la
bor expended.
We will know a year from now more

as exhibited for the most part in *Senbner's,'
and other transatlantic magazines. Authori
ties, it is reported, shake their heads over
these performances. . . . But to the out
sider it would certainly seem as if the chief
ground of complaint is that the new-comers
do dot p* the game according Ito the old
rules, and that this (alleged) irregular mode
of procedure tends to lessen the status of th e '
engraver as - ,10 artist. :False or-thee, this,
may fairly be advanced,_ has nothing what
ever to do with thS matter, as far, at least,
as the public are concerned. For them the
questiOn is, simply and solely, What ii the
result, obtained? The new school, availing
themselves largely of the assistance of photo
graphy, are able to dispense, in a , great
measure, with the old tedious method of
drawing on the block, and to leave the artist
to choose what medians he - prefers for his
design—be it oil, water-color; or black and
white—concerning themselves (mkt to re
produce its characteristics -on the, Wood.
This is, of course, a deviation from the
method of Bewick. But - would Bewick liave
adhered to his method in these days? Even
in his last hours he was seeking for new pro
cesses. What we want is to get nearest ,to
the artist himself with the least amount of
interpretation or intermediation on the part
of ,the engraver. Is engraving on copper to
be reproduced. we want . a fac-simile if pos
sible, and not a rendering . into something
witch is supposed to be the - orthodox utter
ance of wood-engraving. . . . It is ;motto

few pence, can have practical fac-similes of

loud in their appreciation of the 'new Ameri

to reproduction in fee-simile. Those who
look at the exqui-ite' illustrations in 'Scrib

over them, often mistaken for laziness.
Danger lurks in these symptoms, as they arise
