THOS. V* Coopxa, Chairman, Io compliance with requests trom many sources, tbat the National rules of tbe Republican party be pufcl'sbed, Chairman Cooper has appended them to the call as follows? Tbe Republican National Conven tion ol 1884 adopted a resolution off er«d bv Eon. Galnsha A. Grow, ot Pencsj Ivsnia, which now embodies all of tbe National rules of the party touching tbe time tor calling conven tions aud tbe election of delegates. Tbe text of ibe rules is this, as offi dally printed in the proceedings, p p. "Said National Committee sball issue tbe crJI kr tbe meeting of the National Convention six mouths at least before tbe time 6xed for said Meeting; and eacb Cotgreesiouai dis trict in the United States shall elect its delegates to lbs', National Conven tion in the same way as tbe nomina tion of a member ot Con gress is made in said dis trict; and in tbe Territories tbe dele gates to the convention shall be elect ed in tbe same way as the nomina tion of delegates to Congress is m~de; and said National Committee shall prescribe tbe tueth»'d for electing del egates for the Distiict of Columbia. An alternative delegate for del egate to tbe National Conveutioa, to set in tbe case of tbe absence of the delegate, sball be elected in the same Banner and at tbe same time tbe del egate is elected. And the delegates at large for each Btate aud their alter nates sball be elected by State con ventions io their respective States. Tbe chauttes embodied in the above, from tbe rules and customs which previously obtained, can be explained vrry briefly:— First All specific limitations as to tbe time of selecting State or dis trict delegates have beeu abolished. Second State conventious cannot hereafter sub divide into district con ventions for tbe select ion ol District delegates, since this class of delega tes mutt be elected in 'the same way' as Representatives to Congress are Bt'Oiuinttd and by the people of the resp> ctive districts. Thiirt \\ here new apportionment laws are iu operation, aud counties bme been displaced from former dis tricts, district delegates must be se lected from the new Congressional district, iu like manner as candidates for Cougress are nominated. Members of the State Committee and officers of County Committees will rapidly promote a knowledge of these rules by requesting their publi cation in all of their local Republican journals. * Tbe wool growers of Vermont de clare the President's message not the production of a wise, ripe and patri otic American citizen, but like the ef fosion of one just attaining the saphomoric stage in the Cobden school of British political; pronounc ed the illogical reasoning in tbe mess age insulting to every wool grower and labarer in tbe nation, and declar ed tbat if his recommendations were adopted tbey would ruin tbe wool growing industry of tbe United States.

Randall Routed. At the late meeting of the Demo cratic State Committee of this State, held at Harrißburg, there were some lively times. Tbe contest among the members of tbe Committee was as to who should be its Chairman. A part, led by Congressman Scott, of Erie, had determined to remove the present Chairman, a friend of Ran dall, and put in a friend of Cleveland in his place. In this tbev succeeded by a close vote, and after a bitter contest. In this contest the tariff question was involved, the Rindili part sustaining him and favoring pro tection, and the friends of Scott de wiring the endorsement of Cleveland's late message against the tariff la this they also succeeded, by the pass Hge of the following resolution, wnich endorses Cleveland's Administration and especially his anti tariff views Here is what tbey passed on the pubjfct and which is a heavy blow to Kandall and those Democrats of the State who stand with him on tbe tar iff. Resolved, That this committee cor diallv and emphatically iud >rse tbe administration of tbe President.

The organization of tbe Democratic State Committee at flarrisburg yes terday pots Free Trade on top in tbe Democratic party in this State, President Cleveland has placed it there. The election of Mr Kisnw as chairman of the Democratic Slate Committee is not Mr. W. L. Scott's victory, •lth>»ugh the ftsnlt leaves him master of the situation, but the success and supremacy ol Free Trade as laid down in President Clevelacd's messasre. Without this aid Mr. Scott failed last Summer; with it be succeeds now. Tbe Dem ocratic party, even in Pennsylvania, •iceepts the platform dictated by Mi*. Cleveland and obediently moves for wurd to oocu y it. Na one in or out ot the State will doubt in future tbe position of the Democratic party on this issue. It is a Free Trada party and it puts none bat free traders on guard. Mr. Randall is defeated, and bis defeat is the more crushing because it was generally unexpected. He is tbe strongest Protection Democrat in the conutry, aud he is far strooger in his own State than any Protection ist of his owu party. He has joined itv-ue with President Cleveland aud his inesnatrp, and be is "knocked out" in the first round.

It was put upon him Mr. Sander* stood for n >t,bing, save as h e stood for Randall. Because he did staDd for the leading Protectionist of tbe Democratic party, and puly because ne did. be was attacked. It would be idle for Mr. Randall or bis friends to blink the gravity of ibis defeat. It is fatal, unlens Mr. Randall can re trieve it in tbe House at Washington Tne light in the Democratic commit tee at Harrisburg ends compromise in Democratic caucus at Washington. L'b-ro is nothing left for Mr. Randall <tnd his Protectionist colleagues but to figbt to tbe und against the federal Administration, and not even such a *i gut can alter or conceal the fact that even in Pennsylvania the Democratic party is now openly in favor of free trade, organizes tbe coming campaign on this basis and puts the avowed tree-trader, W.

From Pittsburg Com-Gagftlt of Monday.] Mr William Murdoch, of Wilkins avenue, Sbadyside, one ot the best known business men in the city, was swindled out of SIO,OOO on Saturday afiernoon by buuko men. Shortly after 12 o'clock Mr Murdoch came out of Will's barber shop, on Smith field street, opposite Municipal Hall, and was met by a well dressed num who greeted him cordially, taking bis hand and saying. "Why. Mr. Mur doch, how do you do ?" Mr, Mur doch, who is S3 years old, couldn't place the inau, but supposed he was a friend. The man walked with Mr Murdoch to S'Xth avenue, and there remarked that he had a fine history of Pittsburgh aud its old 4 residents which he desired to give Mr. Murdoch The latter gentleman went with the man to Grant street, and then down two or three blocks. In a room either on Grant street, Diamond street or Fourth avenue, they found another man who said be had sent the books to New York to have them rebouud. The talk was led to speculation, lot teries, <fcc , and the men finally pro duced some sort ol a device, and no tified Mr. Murdoch that be had won $o 000 Tbey showed a roll of bills, but said that iu order to obtain it Mr. Murdoch must produce 0,000 as au evidence that be could have paid had be l ist Mr. Murdoch then went to the Bank of Commerce,drew out $lO 000 iu gold certificates aud bank notes, accompanied the man back to the room and a moment after the men got hold of the money tbey notifiid him be had lost the SSOOO and his SIO,OOO also Mr Murdoch suid he would see his lawyei, and tbe sharp ers advised him to do so Mr, Mur doch went to D I) Bruce, E<-q , wbo told him to notify tbe police at once He did so, but as be was so excited that he could give no description of i the men,, or even remember where ih-t room was, nothing could be done, The men are evidently tar away by ibis lime.
