REFORM. WITHIN THE . PARTY. We publish this week, the address of the Committee appointed =some weeks since by the .conference of Independent Republicans whiCh as- Sembled at the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, to the Republicans of the State. This appeal has for its 9 . bject, reform within the party—re form in party methods and practices, having relation coley and entirely- to securing through the primary coun cils of the, party a full, free and fair expression- the popular will, demanding that the popular -judg ment shall be honestly and fairly re flected in our nominating conven tions. To make it apparent that there is dissatisfaction with the prevailing methods by which our nominating . conventions have been controlled and the popular judgment I of the party subverted to , personal ends, a dissatisfaction so Serious as to imperil the future. unity and suc cess_ of the party,'it is only necescary to direct attention to the fact that over. forty thousand Republicans. voted for the - self-constituted and self-nommated Independent 'candi date;P for State Treesuffer at the November election, rind that the-suc csssful cludidate was elected by a meagreßitnality with a majority of forty-four thohsand against him .in the pOpOlar vote. .We do not -in duke isFerimininations and re-crim -- inatiiin - fi,Vut suggest in a spirit of amity r an, justice,. looking to the unity- loll_ harmony of the party, that the reforms aimed at by the in dependent mover`aent, I within the party organization are such as should commend the' Movement to the favorable consideration of every Re publidan who has at heart 'the per petuity and success of Republican ism integrity. We commend the teaching of the Philadelphia Presiz, the ablest and most influential Republican journal in Pennsylvania, upon this subject. We hope its. circulation nay be more widely extended.- among the Republicans of Bradford County. Its tone and temper is in .accord with the prevailing sentiment here. It aims at the establishment of a -h igher standard of political ethics, a t reform of modes and practices xvithin. the oronization, not ontsidn of it. With this ' : view it commends ,the movemenPinangurated by the . Con tinental -Hotel Conference, and its aims and purposes as set forth by the Committee's address. This is Inde _ pendence of a different character from the Wolfe Independent move ' men% - It is ludepenience within the party. It seeks to save the party and establish a rule of party action • that will promote unity and bar . mony upon principles of justice-, hav ing due:respect to the popular will as expreised by the masses of the party tb ongh t the primaries. We have given the, address a careful reading, and we fail . to discover either in its terms, expressed as clear as language could make it, or obscured between the lines, any sen timent that can be construed to mean 11, purpose to disrupt the party or create factional divisions within it. It abbe to build up, save and perpet uate, while the Wolf movement seeks to disrupt and destroy.' Such being its - purpose we commend it. We indulge no animosities against men, what we oppose is methods wrongfully employed by men is subversion of popular rights. •We care not who lead, only it so be that their action is just and right with respect to popular party majorities. This mustbe the rale of political action, abseved alike by party lead ers and followers. Obligations are co-equal, political rights are co-equal, all are bound by the one great all absorbing obligation to seer, that we have good government. Principles are promoted and maintained by organization. - Individuals find their place in that organization that beet represents their judgment and politi cal convictions. Their right to a full, fair and free expression of their judgment cannot be denied or abridged,. Let this be the recognized rule of the Republican party and its future success and perpetuity is assured. REPUBLICAN REFORM. EFFORTS' TO XESTODE HARMONY AND UNITY I*THE PARTY. ADDRESS OF THE CONTINENTAL CONFER" ENCE COMMITTEE-THE WORK OF RE _ • FORMATION CAN BE SEEURED BV POP ULAR DEMONSTRATION AT TEIE PRIMA - RIES. • . The Committee of the Independent Republicans of the State have issued • • the following address: ° To the I?epnblicarus Rf Peiinsylcania: We address 'you in the interest of that political organization, to which we are alike atta3hed, and whose continu ed supremacy in both State and Nation we alike desite We share with you a just pride in our party's past achievements, and be lieve with you that, signal and. • honor- able as these have been, its mission is not yet complete. The present . has political issues of magnitude and portance, and the near future will tin- fold others which must chsllenge equal, if not greater, attention and qta,tesinan . ship. Through more than . twenty years of the greatest epoch in. our annals the onward marph . of the coun- try has been the history of the Repub lican.party, and by its unvarying de 7 votion to human, liberty and, equal rights, by its character - and its inspira tions, this party is best qualified to . settle and adjust /these qneStions as they arise, and to give to 'the country continued safe repose.; So you believe, and so do we. No one can be indifferent to such considerations as these, and it is, there fore, with deep concern for the future usefulness of our party the we assume to address you at this time. What we have moreo directly and. immediate ly in view i is to keep, if possible, our own State fixed and steadfast, in her . party allegiance. The importance of Pennsylvania as a factor in national • politics is' manifest. In the present condition of things. Republican ascen dancy in the general 'Government caig onlybe.maintained .by i her continned support, and the question which pre sents itself to yoir consideration is— how can this be secured.? That a great majority of the voters of PerMsylvania are thoroughly and earnestly Republican in their views and sympathies we do not doubt. The political record of twenty years attest their approval and . acceptance of the do'ctrines and principles of the - !nifty. But while this is true, it is equally man ifest tha their party allegiance .has been weakened, and that discontent and dissatisfaction prevail. --We need no othar evidence of this than the fact that at tile last general election over 40,000 Republicans' re fused their supprt to the party's ean didate, and. gave it . to another, while still asserting their devotion to Republi can principles and their earnest desire for the party's ascendancy'. Exper ience shows that men - are knot easily shaken in their party. allegiance, and when dissatisfaction finds ."expression in such emphatic tone it'-may safely bp assumed that evils exist in the - party that need to be corrected. This pro; I test was not against the _policy-or creed lof the party, but against repugnant methods 'of party , management: It Was an earnest demand, pregnant.with warning, that the • •Republican paitty should henceforth be true to itself; that its conyietions and preferences should find free.and honest expression, and that its 'representative .conventions should reflect and record the. will, of the party rather than the decrees of a political junta. The truth is not to be disguised,. nor, indeed, can be. Repeated in stances of our State . Conventions vio lently disregarding the popular pref erences in candidates, and assuming - powers which did not' rightfully belong to them, at the dictation all few, - are fresh in your recollection. This' sub-, serviency, it is true, was followed by 4 ,l your just indignation; : but only to . repeated by succeeding - : conventions. 4 The result is before you in the 144 general election. Whether the exist-d ing grievances and abuses justified such aetion, :or whether such action was the best method to correet•-them, it is no part of our purpose to inquire. It was Ow protest of the men who' made. it, and they alone are responSible for it. t pthers, equally sincere in their con 41emnation, preferred other remedies. It is not our business to approve or - censure. All we desire and seek to accomplish is restored harmony, a ' united party and better „ methods. The - se can be secured in no other way than by the removal of all - just cause of complaint. The party needs, and, if it is to succeed in the future, • must. have. a sure and speedy deliverance from the tyranny of personal dictation• the. policy of proscription and :punish ment for those who dare to oppose the rule of an oligarchy must be abandon- ed; the popular will must be consulted and respected, and the lix,,wer of the party be used for higher pUrposes than the bestowal of offices Cr unworthy favorites and dependents. That so much can be accomplished' 1y pr . oper effort,_without resorting to revolutionary methods, we not doubt. Political control becomes cen tred in the hands of the few ,only by the neglect and indifference, of . the many. The source of political - power is in the primaries. These give expression and character to your larger convention. they tare committed to the manage meat and control of men whose interest 1 in politics rises 1 . 4 higher than the hope of office or patronage for themselves, no reform can beexpected. But they need 'not be,. and - should not. It is only because those most interested, in the cause of good government fail to participate in these important ,assem blies that they are so often perverted and made to work such great evils. If by any effort the masses of the Repubiican party can be incited to active participation in these primary Contests, the work of reformation will not only have begun, but will. be com pleted. The selfish few will be . com pelled to give way to . the many whose party fealty is not dependent upon patronage nor sustained by plunder. The occasion is at: hand for you to redeem your party; or increase its peril. A State Convention will soon be called, to place in nomination candi dates for high 'aud important offices. Shall that Convention be composed of men who can, and will, despite the solicitation and influence of centralized power, reflect your wishes and , be true= to the best interests of the. party; or shall it be composed of those whose sense of political duty is obedience to personal rule, and peaceful submission to its extravagant exaction ? It is for you to say; and as yon determine in your primary meetings, and County .Conventions, no it must be. Our only purpose in this address is to call your attention to the magnitude of the evils which exist; the extreme danger in which they have placedlis as a party, and to urge you to exert yourselves in the only way which promises relief or, safety. We have no interest in- the 'matter, except that ' which we share in common with all who desire the success of the party for the common _good.. In that cause we enjoin upon you the importance of making the next State Convention a thoroughly representative body of 'the Republicans of the .Commonwea4h. The just sense of the party demands and has a right to demand, that "the delegales shall come from the people through their legitimate local repre sentative conventions, and that 'the State Convention shall be held at a time which will permit the fair, full and deliberate expression,of the party will. Without making any personal warfare, we are enlisted in a campaign against the arbitrary and debasing methods that have divided and weakened a party which should be united and harmon ious. In this undertaking we appeal to you for yOur earnest and 'act've co-operation. JOHN STEWEEL, Wu. T. Dkv 3.11. W. OEIST, T. W. PuthOrs. WK. Mclificnaet,, H. S. FLEMI r NO, S. V. PENNITACKER, J. W.

' - WASHINGTON LETTER. * Dec. 24, 1881. , I - The annual report of the Second Ass[stant Postmaster-General was made public yesterday. The cost of mail transportation for the year end ing June 30, 1881, is summed up as follows: For 1,194 - railroad routes, aggregating 91,569 miles, $11,613,368; for 126 steamboat routes, 'aggregating 21,138 miles, $753,167; for 10,272 other routes known as "Star mutes," aggregating 231,299 miles, $6,957,355; total cost, $19,323,890. . ' Compared with the last annual state-' ment,the railroad service 'shows an hiciegie , of seventy-six routes, of 6,249 miles and of $1,114,382 in 'annual cost'. The steamboat service shows a decrease .of five routes, of 2,182 miles; and of $134,054 in anual costs. The Star service shows an increase of 409 routes, a decrease of 3,949 miles and of $364,144 in annual cost. The cost of the Star :service of 1881 wa519,057,355, a decrease of 4.97 per cent. in the cost epnipared with the ammouut expended during the year 1880. - .. 1 i. The appropriation for the year ending June 30, 1882, is $7,900,090, $942,645 q or 13.55 per cent. in .ex cess ,of the cost of thii service for ISBI. ' It is thought that the estimate for Star 'service can be safely placed at $7,250,- 000, a decrease of 659,000 from the appropration of 18'82, and $292,645 more than the rate of . expendature June 30, 1881. In this estimate pro vision is made for new. service that may be petitioned for and established after due investigation looking to the requirements of the sections interested, and t,he postal facilities now furnished. General Elmer says that had no orders beer' made reducing the Star service, there would have been needed at the rate of • past increase, about $9,600,000 for 1882. The Treasury contingent fund investigation has brought to light the facts in 'regard to the payment of $7,200 for a new-fangled boiler, a scheme in connect;on With the heating ~ r of public buildings. The Senate inves tigation shows that the : $7,200 was paid to a man in Chicago named -Mc- Mullin, who held that his alleged im provement, would be a great saving, in coal to the government. The improve thent was perfectly worthless. The Senate Committee,- however, brings out a further fact, that the money was paid to, McMullin upon 'the recoinend ation of - J. B. Hawley, who was then First Assistant Secretary of IlmTreas -1 ury and a candidate for the Illinois gubernatorial nomination. _ It has also been shown in the Senate investigation Postmaster General a day or two ago saying, f'a man's wife dropped, a letter in this office addressed to another man; the husband suspects something wrong. Shall I deliver the letter to him ?" The postmaster was in'tructed that the husband - could not get the letter in that way. That republ'e3 can be grateful is shown by the issuance to-day over Secretary Kirkwood's signature; of twenty-seVen pieces of bounty-land scrip to the heirs Of John Paul Jones a captain, in the American navy; in appreciative acknowledgment of brave and meritor:o . is service - in connection with the capture of certain British vessels of war. To keep alive the political gossip of the „day, Judge Jere Black is announced as an aspirant for presidential honors on a platform composed of anti-monop oty, God-in-tbe-Constitutlon, and pure Democracy. ' Mr. R. S. Blaine, a brother of ex- Senator Blaine, is to be appointed newspaper clerk under the Clerk of the House of Representatives.
