LOUDEN ■ & PARK, Duquesue Way, lietween Sixth and i Seventh streets, above Suspension Bridge, Pittsburgh, Pa. aps,Bm Advertise in the CITI&KN. BIJTLER, PA., AVEDNESDAY; JUNE 28. 1882 SELECT. COL. STEWART'S SPEECH. What the Independent Republican candidate for Governor had to say for the Independent Republican cause in this State at the late Convention in Pittsburgh. FELLOW CITIZENS—I cannot but re gard it as an auspicious circumstance that the initial work of a campaign which has for its object the disenthral ment of the Republican party, and the direction of its energies to the attain ment of wise public ends, should be done in the city of Pittsburgh, where 20 years ago the first republican State Convention assembled. Duringail those years this great city has been steadfast in its faith, and true and unwaver ing in its allegiance to the Republi can party. Not only has she empha sized her devotion to the cause of that party by large popular majorities, but she has the proud distinction of hav ing furnished, from the body of her citizenship, some of iis ablest minds and most distinguished champions. I cannot forget that Pittsburgh was the home of that emiuent man, whose indomitable courage, untiring zeal and wonderful ability made him the first War Minister of the century, Edwin M. Stanton ; and of that other citizen, whose matchless eloquence on the platform and in the National Congress was so oi'ten heard in defense of the early faith—Thomas Williams. Nor do 1 forget that it still is the home of others who gained distinction in the foremost ranks of this great party, of a Moorhead, eminent for his practical statesmanship, and of a Marshall whose splendid advocacy did so much to beget and strengthen in the popular mind Republican convictions. THE CAUSES OF DISI BUST. Standing here in this presence, in a in a city crowned with such honora ble associations and memories, I feel that I am not only in a strong hold of the faith, but in the very cita del of its power. But these distinguished men I have named have disappeared from public station, and those of them who sur vive have withdrawn from active participated in public affairs. Their names are seldom heard in political matters save as memories of the past, or when, as lately happened, with ill concealed disirust and disdain, one declines a proffere4 candidacy. The times, my lriends, have changed, and and we with them. The Republican party survives, but with decimated ranks and abated vigor. Once we had an assured and secure supremacy in State and National government, a supremacy sustained by deep popular convictions, which found expression in emphatic and increasing popular majorities. We were then a party of great moral ideas, contending for the lecognition of great princip'es aDd their application to public ends. In active support of our party were en listed the best thought, the highest patriotic endeavor aud noblest sympa thies of a free people. In those days Presidential elections were not decided by electoral commissions, or the un certain vote of a State. Why this decadence, which has left our supremacy insecure and made oar future doubtful ? The question itself suggests its own answer. The party is less powerful to-day than in the past, because it has less of the pubbc confidence: it has less of public con fidence becauseils energies, instead of being divcted to tbe attainment of ibe greatest good for the State, are turned to the advancement of personal in.er est, the gi atification of selfish ambition and tbe capture of spoils. I sneak of the suution in our State only. The political organization which gave free dom to a race has itself become enslaved, and is to-day douiiualed and controlled by imperious masters, who not only deny to it the free expression of its convic tions, but exact from it base and de grading service. A humiliating con fession to make, I know, and one I would make in wbispeied words, so that it might not be heard to our shame by our closest neighbor, were it not that our rep oach in this regard is public and noloiious. It admits of no denial, and its concealment is impossi ble. Under such conditions, how could you expect to have a vigorous and healthy organizaiiou? Is itnotremarka j ble rat her that you have even tbe sem blance of the party le.t? Whatever of healthy vigor remains comes alone iroin the trauitions of the party and the glory of its past achievements. From such associations men are slow to break away, and thousands are lie publicans to-day, not for what the par ty is, but for what it has been. But there comes a time when roman tic attachment and tradi.ional renown cease to be springs of action, when forbeavaoce ceases to be a virtue, a.id considerations of public duty require a declaration of independence against arrogant and organized authority. By tbe apathy and inactivity of tbe masses, political Dosses have been al lowed to usurp coutrol of the party organization; but vain must be the at tempt to hold such a party as ours in cont'uuing servitude, and just as vain the hope to hold it together as an ag gressive political force for base nnd an wo thv ends. As well have attempt ed to turn the armies of the Union into a band of fieebooters or maiauders alter their patriotic mission had been accom plished. Witness the growing dissat isfaction and discontent; witness your reduced majorities; witness t he emphat ic protest of 50,000 who refused to be bound by the action of the convention one year ago; witness the Philadel phia Convention of 24th of May, with its earnest men, its defiant attitude, its independent deliverance; witness this meeting of free Republicans in the city of Pittsburg, called to ratily and endorse tbe action of tbe convention, and tbe quick, hearty and spontaneous response which has been elicited from all parts of the State. NO AIM BUT SPOILS. My friends, entering upon a State campaign under such conditions, with our standards lowered, with no public ends in view, with no higher mission ' than the capture of spoils, with which to gain lor a political autocrat another ■ term in what he regards as the "scep tered ofi'ce of his ancestor." Our ' party was doomed to ignominious aud deserved defeat. Neither public pat ronage, nor official assessments, nor private bounties for the purchase of political mercenaries, nor ail the re sources of a powerful Machine could have averted this untimely fate. It would have been defeated because it deserved defeat, and the people make no mistakes. To save it from such disaster was the object and purpose of the Philadelphia Convention. It seeks to redeem the party from the tyranny of its masters, to reclaim for it the right to assert its higher purposes and honest convictions, and to send it upon a mission of public good raiher than personal gain. I cannot take the time to recount to you the causes which led to that con vention, nor discuss them in detail. The circumstances which made it a necessity are as familiar to you as to me. Let me tell you, however as briefly as I can, what that convention was, what it signified and what it aimed to accomplish. First of all, it was a protest against the personal domination of which I spoke. In popular speech this has become known as Bossism. It is a centralized power which controls your primaries, your conventions, county and State, in their nominations and their deliverances, and in a word dominates the political life and action of the party. You understand what I mean, but an illustration will not be out of place; many suggest them selves to me, but let one or two suf fice. You remember the Harrisburg Conyeution of 1880, called as it was to make provision for the representation of the StaLe in the National Conven tion soon to follow and nominate a candidate for the Presidency. Here in Pennsylvania there was no doubtful or uncertain public sentiment. Seldom has publ'c opinion in our day so clearly and emphatically indicaled a preference as then. Upon one subject there wus practically entire unanimity —uncompromising hostility to a thi.d term in the Presidential office. Dele gates went to Harrisburg, fresh from their respective constituencies, and it was expected of them that the v would declare this sentiment in unmistaka ble terms. Present, not as a delegate, but as the deus ex machi.ia, was the Senator from Pennsylvania. [Cheers.] The pa. ty and its convention thought one «vay; he happened To think anoth er. The primary allegiance of the convention was to him, and not to the party. It shamefully recorded bis decrees, abused the trust confided to it, and outraged a public sentiment as piooounced and clearly defiued as though ascertained by a popular vote. It declared Geoeral Grant to be the choice of the Bepublicaas of Pennsyl vania, aud decreed that to promote his uoiniuat'on the odious unit rule should be adopted, Mr. Came.on himself being the unit, and his the ruTe absolute and unconditional. The power lodged in the rule, the ru'e in the unit, and the unit in the imperial will of Mr. Cameron. YOU CANNOT FAIL to remember what a storm of indigna tion followed; but your wrath was im potent to deter the autocrat of the party from executing his settled purpose. The sceDe shifts from Hanisbu g to Chicago, when he as Chairman of the National Committee, and my distin guished opponent, General Reaver, as Chairman of the Pennsylvania delega tion, combined to destroy the liberty of the individual delegates, and tbe entire vote of the State for one who was not the choice of our people, and against whose eand'dacy they wore hrevocably committed. Together they took up the cry of the Jaoobite, "tbe king shall have his own again," and to accomplish his restoration, they hesi tated not to betrpy the people they rep resented. [Applause.J But this per sonal combination is not limited to popular conventions; it asserts itself in your Legislature as well. You remem ber, how in the recent Senatorial strug gle at Harrisburg, with unblushing servility a Republican majority gather ed in the private parlor of this same Senator, and at his dictation presented as the regular candidate for Senatorial honors, this spine gentleman whose co-operation be bad received at Chica go—and who is now bis cand'date for Governor. These instances will suffice to show where, and in whose hands this centralized power is placed. Against such autocratic rule tbe Phila delphia Convention entered its most emphatic protest. It would have the Republican party say to those men who assume to control it, as the virgin queen said to the haughty earl, "My Lord Liecester, I would have you un derstand that I alone am mistress, and I will have no masters." [Applause. But that convention, my fellow-citi zens, had a larger and deeper signifi cance than that. It did not spend its force iu simple protests. It contem plated by its action, not merely the re buke and dethronement of political dic tators, but with an intelligence that comprehended the source and origin of these troubles, it declared agaiost that nefarious system which makes Bossism possible, and which ltas corrupted and demoralized the politics of the present aav, far beyond all other influences combined. Except for spoil jof office and Government patronage, there could be no Bosses. To this vicious system which places publ'c offices at the arbi trary disposal of men in public station, aud makes of them rewards for devo tion to the political fortunes of him who bestows them, we can with abso lute certainty trace our present politi cal disturbances. Consider, if you please, tbe numerical force of those holding Federal appointments in this State alone. They are numbered by the thousands, and distributed through every township and precinct; their tenure of office dejiending solely upon their personal and political fealty to the dynastic power of our senior Sena tor. These men with special aud per sonal interest are quickened into active participation in political affairs, while the p.ivate citizen who has nothing but his general concern for good gov ernment to incite him, remains in polit ical inactivity, or if he interfere at all, his interference is resented, and he is regarded as a disturber of the party's peace. [Cheers] PENNSYLVANIA'S CURSE. So long has this system prevailed in Pennsylvania, aud so mercilessly has it been enforced, that every source and | avenue of power is contaminated or polluted. What ought to be a field of generous rivalry aud laudable ambi tion, has become a market place, where independence and manhood are openly i exchanged for political preferment, j Men have come to understand lull well that here in Pennsylvania there is but j one door through which they can enter j the political arena; there is but one 1 ladder on which they can mount lo political distinction. Except as they acknowledge feaUy to the reigning house, aud commit themselves to its support, except as they surrender their independence and degrade the>r man hood, they aie excluded from public life by a pioscription as relent'ess as fate. Character is of no avail against; ability and sujieiior fit :ess cannot re sist i„; popular favor cannot -even turn it aside. And so it is, that the subordinate places in the Government are filled by political serfs, and places of a higher distinct'on by political dependents. The one element of manlv independence is elimioated entiiely bom your civil ser vice, and for it is substituted servility to a political Boss. Such a system not only destroys the virtue and life of a party, but is utterly demoralizing to the people aud s jbversive of the theory and principles upon which our Govern ment operates,- it is in iiselfa threaten ing danger to the security and stability of our instituUo . • The great body of Republican voteis—aad 1 distinguish between them and the organized power of the party—quick to detect and recog nize the sources of ibe public danger, appreciating the enormity of the abuse and itJ power for evil, are anxious for its correction. It is aod has been with them, a conviction, not expressed, how ever, in w. itten creed, that public of fices should be public trusts and ad ministered for the beneQt of the people and not for personal ends. It is and has been an article of faith with them, as though it had br>en formulated in every platform of the party. But be cause of the controlling power of the B.osses over the pariy organization, its energies have not been di ected toward its practical application and enforce ment, much as the people so desired, but rather towa'ds the strengthening and upholding of the very system it antagon'zes. But, meanwhile, convic tion in men's minds was deepening, while the abuses were growing, aud what had been regarded es a sentiment was taking shape as a settled and de termined purpose to destroy the syf tern whicn nurtu~ed and sustained these abuses The recent Har/isburg Con vention, Leeiog that i lie patience of tie people was being exhausted, and yield ing, to the exigencies of the hour, made public confession of the sins of the party in this regard. TAKK THE IXATFORM adopted by that cooventiou, if you please, and read it careiuily. It admits not on'v tbe existence of these evil methods a id abuse?, bet acknowledges their da ige v ous tendencies and con sequencies by decla ing agaiost tbeui in most emphatic language, as tbe sense of the Republican pavty. It condemns the use of patronage to pro moie personal nolit' »1 en.ls, and the removal of competent officials except for public cause. These be brave words and highly virtuous sentiments. [L;ughler.] lice we have a plain, unequ'vocal acl'iowl dge.i>eut of the evils of which tbe ]>eople complain, and which are debasing our polities and degrading us as a Stale, and here we have a promise nnd a plr-dge that these evils a eto be removed by the llepubii< au party. Had that promise and pledge ijeen made lor tbe hope and not for tbe ear only ; hau they ca.ried with tbem assurances of and honest purpose to k-ep and not lob 'eakthem: bad tbey been p.ompled bv an earnest solicitude for tne public good, and not snggesied as a polii'cal tiick to deceive the confiding aud unwaiv ; in a word, bad that convention given us an earnest of its pu pose to dcs. ov and over thtow the abu.es against which it harmlessly declaimed, there would have been no divivon in Republican .auks to-dpy; but we would have been a u'liled and agferestive party, p esenjng au unbroken front to a com mon adversary. Th : s leads me to say, and I say it because the faeis in my deliberate judgment wa:>i'nt the assertion, tbaf. the deliverance of that convention, so far as it relates *o a reform in the civil service and the con ec ion of paity abuses, is a cheat and a i aud, a delusion and a snaie. It means noth ing, cao accomplish nothing, and is as idle as 'a painted sbio upon a painted ocean.' If lam misipken in this, then am I hear wlhouta caur>e. I appeal to your beLer judgment, and the judgment of the people ofibe State. I would have you rem( 'his platform in the light of events which had already transpired, in tiie 1 gbl of eveots which subsequently occurred, andin the added light iurnisiied by the convention itself. The hopes of a nation b u been sorelv disappointed in the trag'cend ofabelov ed Pres : deoi, cruelly slain by a spoils man Ill's successor in office, familiar as he himself admits with 'practical polities' oolv, ami having uo sympathy whatever with polii'cal leioim, had violently reversed the policy of Gar fit Id, and in strict accordance with tbe prnciples and rules of 'practical pol - tics' had placed the pairouage of the Government, so far as our State was coneerjed, at tiic arbitrary disposal of our senior Senalor. The oflicial guillo tine bad commenced 10 do its wo.k. At his direction ofiicia.s were removed, not for public cause, but to give place lo others who would strengthen bis dvnasty. Against the earnest protest of our other Senator, and the protest of thousands of our own people, the work was continued from day to day. ! This was the situation when the Har j risburg Convention assembled. Two I prominent appointments had been sent the Senate by the President, but then* 1 confirmation had teen delayed .under objections i'rom Senator Mitchell. [Cheering]. Here was an opportun : i.y for the convention to show its earnest ness and sincerity in the work it had in baud. Here was one Senator nobly battling against tue power of an ad i ministration for the very principle wbich this convention endorsed, and another just as determinedly battling against it, with an administratiou , giving him its support. WAS IT CRAVEN FEAR or absolute insincerity that silenced that convention with reference to this contention? I leave you to judge, nsLirj you to remember that as a body it was in closest sympathy with Mr. Cameron, nominating his Christmas ticket, anu endorsed the administration of the President, who boasts that he knows no'ihing of abstract politics.' Please explain, if you cau, the sinceri ty or consistency of a convention wnich would adopt such a civil scrviee plat form as t'jat adopted at Hairisburg, and at the same time applaud an ad ministration which deals in 'practical polities' only. Cut that is not all: wilbin a week alter tbe adjournment of the convention .our tenior Senator showed his .aiih in i'.a platfoiru by pressing to a confirmation the suspend ed appointments and startirg the guillotine a.iesh. Nor is this all; ten days ago iu the city of Hanisburg, my distinguished competitor, General Beaver, the nominee of the Harrisburg Convention, in a public speech, as if to show that hi bad independence too, and an hone3iy aud candor of speech superior to the men who nominated h'm, boldly declared that the civil service was 'w'sely administered.' The eooveution which nominated him declared it wns not wisely administered. It saw abuses ; General Beaver sees none. It declared for refor.n ; General Beaver can fiod nothing to relorm. It declared that public offices must not be used for personal political ends; Gen. Beaver holds otherwise, and sees wiib perfect and absolute satis.act ion the patronage of an administration, and the spoils of office given to a political Boss, to place where they will do the most good, not for the public, but to sustain and support an autocratic power upon which my distinguished i. iend has relied too much for bis own promotion. [Applause], And so I say; that judged by what it d'd as well as what it failed to do; judged by the declarations aud conduct of our senior Seuator both before and after the convention; judged by tbe bold and fearle.-s speech of its chief candidate, the convention of the 10lh May last made a mockery of civil service reform, and u-iflcd with the earnest convictions and settled purposes of tbel.ee Republicans of Pennsylvania. In contrast with this I place the at ion of the Philadelphia Convention. Following immediately a ier, with a purpose to Hit tbe party out of its boudage to the Machine, it recognized the one great question of commanding impoitance and interest to the people, and sought to p'ace the party in posi tion io accomplish the great reform which is imperatively demanded. To a civil service not regulated by the will or pleasure of political managers, but regulated by law, the free and in dependent Republicans of Pennsylva n:a ate pledged and irrevocably com mitted. IT IS THEIR CREED and their battle cry. Wo challenge for their platform the closest Its lines are clear and precise and you can read no.bing between ibem but an honest purpose to meke good its de mands. Jsor do the e-ndida;es falsify their declarators of principles. Excuse me for the reference ; and yet I know of no more emphatic wav for a conven tion to lret ay its own ijsinceray than to place in nomination candidates who are not in accord with its declaration of J naciples. I have no.biog to say in vindication of the candidates Oi tbe Philadelphia Convention. This much, however' I make bold to say: if there is anything in the political life or reco d of any of them which makes him an mp.oper or unworihy repe sentative of this of refoim, with hold I.om that man your suppo't. Honored by that convention wi h a place upon its ticket, I dare not forget that, f. om one no bel'.er known than myself, vou are entitled to something more than a simple acceptance of its doctrines. You ate at least entitled, when a public charge is made against my constituency, to a prompt and em phatic denial, if the charge be untrue. In a public speech at Harrisburg a few days ago, General Beaver said that the motives which governed tbe Indepen dents in their present movement would be made public This announcement was quickly followed by a vituperativ«, anonymous communication in a Phila delphia journal, since copied into others, iu which it is stated that I had repeat edly aud in vain sought the political favor and aid of Senator Cameron and his distinguished father, and because of disappointment iu this regard I had joined my political fortunes with the Independents. I beg permission right here to answer the charge. Neither by myself or by another, by uttered speech or written woid, have I asked from either father or sou any favor or service, political or otherwise, and I challenge them and theirbeaebmen, ad herents aud dependents to prove to the contrary. So that theie may be no doubt about this matter, I remove every restriction trom private corre..- pondcnce, if there lie any, every re ! striction i'rom private conversation, if there was any, and ask only that wit- J ntsses shall 6peak the truth. Before ' that Baal I have never bowed, and | uever will. [Tremendous applause]. But enough of this. I have spoken fully and freely of the character and significance of the Inde pendent movement; now what of its purpose ? Briefly and in conclusion this: our purpose is to reclaim the Re publican party from the thraldom of the Machine, and our purpose is to win in the present contest.

Republican in its faith, uttached and devoted to the principles wbicb that party has in the past maintained and yindicated, earnestly advocating the rights of labor and protection to our home in dustries, the Independent Republican partv hvites to its suppo.-t all who be lieve wiih us that the way to make a party strong in popular support is to I make it stroug in public confidence, all who believe with us that the true end and aim of party existence is public good, all who believe with us that the Republican party alone is mistress, and needs no masters. Our reliance is upon the conscience, the intelligent cooyictioos, the patriotic purposes of the people. These will assert them selves, aud it wi'l be to the d<smayand contusion of those who imagine, among other vain tbiogs, that a party whose h'ghest aspirations and noblest efforts have been for individual and political freedom, caa itself be held in debasing servitude to a Machine or a Boss. The Independent Republicans of Pennsyl vania have engaged in no revolt or in surrection : they neither seek to foment discord, nor weaken by factious differ ences. llo'ding fast to the traditions of the party, we here lift up the true standard, and summon all who would make our party worthy of its past re nown to rally oejeath its folds. Ours the faith, aud ours the courage, curs will yet bo the victory in a redeem ed, regenerated, disenthralled party. One Hnndred Years Ago. One hundred years ago wedding tours were not fashionable. Que hundred yefrs ago farmers did not cut their legs off with mowing machines. Oae hundred years ago every young man was not aa applicant for a posi tion as clerk or book-keeper. One hundred years ago a young woman did not lose caste by wetting her baods in dishwater, or rubbing the skin off her knuckles on the wash board. One hundred years ago the physician who could not draw every form of disease from tbe system, by tapping a large vein in the arm, was not much of a doctor. One hundred years ago people did not worry about rapid transit and cheap trausportat'ion, but threw their grain across tbe backs of their horses aud uncomplainingly went to tbe mill. One hundred years ago every man cut bis coat according to his cloth ; even man was estimated at bis own value, shoddy was not known ; nobody bad sir tck 'ilc,' and true merit and honest worth were the only ground for promotion.— Ter,e Haule Mail. Good Mothers. Who but God can count the precious trophies of goodly sons and holy daughters, which Christian mothers have 'aid at ibe feet of Jesus for his servi'-e aou glorv ? They are written in the great book of lemembrance, and the day of et vuity will reveal them. Over the lorub of many a sainted mother could be trutb.'ully inscribed the follow : rg lines on a villagegrave stone: 'A Sarah to ber Husband, A Euaice to her Children, A Lois to ber Grandchildren, A Lydiato God's Ministers, A Martha to her Guests, A Docas to tbe Poor, and An Anna to fcer Gcd.' Let Christian mothers be of good cheer, and bear their burdens of care and responsibility for Christ's sake, for in due season they shall reap a rich reward. Useless Fright.

In a couple of counties of Ohio he consumed, in a few days, what would have grown to be about 800,000 bushels of barley, sweep ing clear whole fields, and devouring also cut and bundled grain.
