THURSDAY, OCT. 6, 1881. ,
The Pittston Gazette (Rep.) flies Gen
eral Baily's name at its masthead; bat
has no remarks to make this week in
regard to the State contest. The
Meadville Crawford Journal (Rep.)
pursues the same policy. —Phila. Press.
We :also fly the name of General
Bailv at our masthead. and< for him
personally we entertain that respect
due to a gentleman of ability, and so
far as report goes, of' integrity. But
we cannot forget that the influences
that produced his nomination are odi
ous to-a large majority of the Repub
licans of Pennsylvania. Such being
the case we can only ask our Republi
can friends in Bradford to support him
upon his record as ar soldier and' his
reputation for capricity and integrity.
That he is an earnest Republican we
do not doubt. Neither can we for
get thai his name appears in the records
of the Chicago Convention, as one of
the 306 who voted to misrepresent his
district and his State. As if to make
the odious influences that produced his
nomination the more conspicuous, a
member of the Pardon Board was
made Temporary Chairman of the
Convention, and another member of
the t'ardon Board was selected to place
Mr. Raily,a name befuee the Conven-
tion in a gloWing speech. In the
present temper of the public mind,
whether we state them or refrain from
stating them, these facts being knoWn
`over the State will be discussed nrid
men.will form their conclusions* as to
their duty in the premises from thiis
standpoint. The question arises,
what is the duty of. true and -honest
Republicans in respect -to supporting
Mr. Baily Looking only to the
success of the party candidate, and
brooking the insult offered them by
the machine influences which predom
inated in the Convention; they will
support the nominee. But there are
thousands, and we must riot disguise
the fact, who will think it a humilia
•'ion before machine power to give Mr.
daily their support. Not from any
lack of Republicanism, but from. - their
respect for political integrity and their
deep,sense of the injury stone to the
popular judgment of a large majority
of the party in - the State. These
thoughts naturally pervade the minds
of the Republicans of the State at
this time. Some will conclude that
the best way to punish 'boss rule Will
be to vote direct for Mr. Noble, the
Democratic candidate, others who
never vote against their party, will
rekiliin from voting, and others still
will vote for Mr. Wolf, the self-nomi
nated Independent Republican candi
date, All these classes will act as
their judgment shall dictate, with the
single purpose of recording their op
position to machine pow er i but not in
opposition to_Republicanism. For
ourself, we,intend,to support and, vote
for Mr. Baily, and advise that the
party lines be 'mantained intact; bi-
ding our time when the better elements
of_ the party shall be able to assert
a controlling power for the correction
of existing abuses. This can better
be accomeished by" acting together
in an ' organized capacity, than in
',factional and fractional divisions.
Viten the opportunity presents. itself,
the Republicans of Bradford will come
up to the work as one man, in
and through their representa
tives in the Legislature, for the over-
throw of machine rule in .the party,
to the end that the principles of Re
,
publicanism in their integrity may be
saved to bless the State and country
freed from the incubus of debased and
debauched leaders.
The information from the New
York State Republican Convention,
which assembled yesterday in ; New
York City, though we have. no details
up to going to press, gives promise of
harmony. Both factions of the party
e ,
se inclined to bury their diferences,
and unite upon an unexpectionable
State ticket, which will give promise
of success. It is a pity that Pennsyl
vania Republicans had not exhibited
like concession and wisdom in the late
_
State Convention.
Since the above was put in type, we
have news of the results of the Conven
tion. The "stalwarts" finding they
were defeated made a complete sur
render and the convention was-har
monious. Leslie W. Russell, of St.
Lawrence, It Garfield Republican, was
nominated for Attorney General over
Hamilton Ward, a Conklingite.
The new State Committee. is anti-
Conkling.
Charles'S. Wolfe, Independebt Re
publican Candidate for" State Tress;
urer, opened his campaign on TUesday
evening by a speech in Assembly Hall,
in Chestnut Street Philadelphia; in
which he defined his position in every
explicit and comprehensive terms.
The Press report of the meeting repre
sents it as a large; enthusiastic and
respectable gathering. Mr. Wolfe
proposes to stump - tne State. His
Speech of Tuesday eveningis found. at
length in the . Press of Wednesday.

The Campaign Committee of the
Citizens Republican Association met
yesterday noon at its headquarters, in
the Girard House' and agreed upon
October 4 as the time and the Assembly
Building as the place for the first mass
meeting in behalf of Charles S. Wolfe's
candidacy for State Treasurer. The
meeting will have great significance, as
the Independe4 candidate will take
that opportunity d laying before the
people his reasons for constituting him
self the leader of the bolters from Har
risburg Convention. Mr. Wolfe will be
the only speaker at the public meeting
next Tuesday, -He is at• present at his
home at Lewisburg' preparing his ad
dress. In the meantime the routine
work of his campaign is left entirely in
the hands of his friend and advocate,
Repreuseutative McKee, and F. W.
Leeeh, whose headquarters are at Room
42 in the Girard House. , Here the
meetings of the Citizens Republican
Association, organized by Meinbers of
the Committee of One Hundred to sup
port Wolfe, are held. The Association
has three Cominiitoos— one on finance
and the Campaign Committee, compos
ed of seven members each, while the
Executive Committee has fifty mem
bers. The organization of the - cam
paign work tlfroughout the Siltite ,7ill
be left in the bands of Hon. Gehrge E.
Mapes of Venaiago, who, after t t e fitat
ii
of the coming week, will act as Chair
man of the Committee at the •Girard
House. In regard to hands for his five
weeks' canvass, Mr. Wolfe - has by this
,
time received assurance from a group
of business men, some of whom are
members of the Committee of One
Hundred, that all the money he needs
;will beforthcoming.. A member of the
Finance Committee of the Citizens'
Republican Association, which is now
regarded by some as Mr. Wolfe's
strongest supwrt, - said yesterday that
every_man to whom he subscription
book had been opened had proffered
something.
WHERE WOLFE'S SUPPORT CORES FROST.
'How many of these.private subscrip
tions conic from embers of the Com
mittee of One - Hundred?' asked the
rnnss reporter. I
'More than half of - them,' tqc Com
mittee-man responded. ‘Threo 7 fourths
of those to whom we have spoken have
subscribed a greatCr or less amount. '
'Then Mr. Wolfe's failure, if he fails,
will not be due to want of friends or. of
organization and discipline& leader
ship?'
'No; but much will depend on - his
speech next Tuesday, He has bee
eager to come beforo the people sir

applications for tickets - will exceed, that

'After Mi. Wolfe's speech here where
will he go?' Mr. McKee was asked Yes
terday. _
‘Yrobatily to Altoona and Pittsburg.
He will speak in nearly all the counties
in the State, but it will be impossible
for Lam to go even -to all the large
towns. From Pittsburg I think likely
he will travel through the northern tier
of counties.'
•
'Have you made arrangements for the
appearance of other speakers?' .
'We have many offers, but I can say
nothing definite as yet.. Mr. Wolfe is
his own beat representative and advo
cate.'
TWO NEW COMMITTEES.
- The Executive Committee of the Citi
zens' Republican Association met at the
Girard House last night. Dr. Thomas
G. Morton in the chair, 'and appointed
a committee of five to confer with Rep,-
resentative Wolfe with a view to organ'T
izing a State Campaign Committee,
which shall have control , of the Inde
pendents' work throughout the State.
The Committee consists of Messrs. Me:
Res, Edward Law, Blankenberg and
Leach. The Executive Committee dis
mussed rather more than an 'hour the
- five weeks' work before them, and
much dissatisfaction was expressed that
Mr. Wolfe's first efforts were be
made in the Assembly Bnildeng, I which
the Committee' deemed unsuited either
to the orator or to the people who
would flock to see him. Thelifollowing
Committee was appointed last night to
prepare an address to the electors of the
State settingierth thb merits of the In
dependent candidate and the reasons
why Genreral Baily - Shotdd be defeated:
George H. Earle, Wharton Beaker,
4seph Parrish, Frank Willing Leach
and Rudolph BLankenberg.. Both Com
inittees will report next Wednesday.

The Story of a Lott Pocketbook.
latartiirw with stewed Croup.
On Sunday morning, just after the
big crowd of doctors had 'cleared' cot, I
wus alone with the: General and Dr.
- The doctor sat on: one side of
thelied and I was on - the other. Gen
eral Garfield had hold of Dr. Blises
hand, and he turned his head and asked
me if I knew where he pat saw Dr.
Bliss., I told lam I did not, and he
said then that be would tell' me. He
said that when le was ayoungster and
started for the college at Hiram . he had
jest fifteen dollars—a ten dollar bill 'in
an old black leather pocket-book which
was in the breast-pocket of his cOt,
anti the other live was inlhis trousers
pockets. He said he was footing it np
the road, and as the day was hot he
took off his coat and carried it on his
area, taking good care to feel tivery
moment or two for the pocket-book;
for the hard-earned $l5 was to pay his
enterance fee at the college. • After
while he got to thinking over what . col
lege life , would be like, and forgot all
about the pocket-book for some time,
and when hulooked again found it was
gone. He: went= back mournfully along
the road, hunting on both sides for the
pocket-book. After a while lie carob to
a house where a young man was lean
ing over a gate, and who asked himl as
he came up what he was hunting or.
Garfield eiplained his lose, and describ
ed tll4 l property, when the young man
handed it - iver. The President by this
timerlaughing, and o,ontieued:
"That young man was Bliss, wasen't it,
Doctor?' The Doctor laughed and
said 'Yes,' and when General Garfield
'said 'He saved me for college, ansiver
ed, 'Yea; and maybe if I bad not found
your ten dollars yen would not hive
been President of the United 'States.'
The President laughed at that and said
that if he got well and made any mis
takes in his administration Bliss would
have to take .the blame.

person present, with bowed headd and
trembling voicer invoked the divine,
blessing upon the company, after which
the friends were invited to partake of
the good things set before them.
. Soon after the close of the repast
one of the gentleman. brought in an
easy-rocking chair and placing it in the
centre of the room, moved - that Mr.
Monro take the chair, which was adop

escorted to the chair, Mr. Monro was
asked what he was expected to do, and
Was told to take the chair and use it
not as a parlor ornament but as a
means of • daily rest. Just beginning
to comprehend the situation, Mr.

thmiked'the friends for this kind ex
