IliN Kncinii'!> I'rnikc lliin. Speaker Reed has been a well abused man. Ever since his election to the Speakership he has been condemned by the Democratic press, (among them by the New York Herald ) as a "tryant," ''czar,'' "dictator," "revolutionist," and even a "monster," but it has been discovered by some of his defamers that he is not no bad a fellow as he has been painted. They now allege that he is simply a Republican with a head long enough to foresee evil days for his party, and with courage to use novel experiments, necessary in his belief to save the policies of his party from destruction. This is high praise, coming from such a source. A closing paragraph in the New \ ork lleralxl is the following, a fitting tribute to the man who broke the power of the Democrats to do evil: "No, Speaker Reed is not a dic tator,' nor a 'tyrant,' nor a 'revolu tionist,' nor a 'cza' - ,' nor even a 'monster.' He is a man of brains and foresight and courage, who be lieves thut'some things can be done as well as others.' And if any free trader or tariff reformer fancies that the protection ring—wealthier, much more intelligent and quite as desperate as the old slavery ring— is goina to let go easily he will find himself greatly mistaken." Ko«v For Tim Uovcriior»liip. The smoke from iiie local political battles over the State has lifted. The way is now clear for the strug gle over the Governorship, and the politicians are free to give thtir earnest attention to it. Some rather premature skirmishes have already taken place in the Republican ranks, the result ol an ill-advised attempt to force tho campaign before its time, but we shall be plunged into the midst of it before long by the thickening of the county conven tions. The conventions already held have given some indication of the drift. Thirty-odd delegates have been chosen in all, and of these Delamater can confidently count upon a ma jority. The others arc divided be tween Hastings, Osborne, Davies and Stone, with Montooth to be I heard from when the Western end I of the State shall begin to show up. Delatnatcr lends, and the contest is naturally between the lender unci the field. If Delauiater can keep up his margin the contest before the con vention will be a onesided one. Shall the lield be able to command a majority, then Pelumater will have to combat a possible combination 011 one of the minority candidates, presumably Hastings, who will doubt lens head the field. The mis promising combinations just now are Delauiater »md Watress for Gov ernor and Lieutenant Governor, and Hastings and Montooth. Oil the Democratic side ex-Gover nor Pattison's name is received with considerable favor throughout the[ State. Pattison's attitude is not a secret and has not been for some weeks. The Democratic State Con vention will follow the Republican gathering, and it is the intention of the ex-Governor's friends to capture it if they can see a promise of Demo cratic success at the polls. They anticipate a bitter struggle among the Republicans, something that is not at all likely to occur, and are banking on the threats of Wharton Barker to establish a Republican party of his own in case the nomina tion does not suit him. But there is altogether too much at stake this year for a family quarrel, and be sides, there is no occasion for one. Nevertheless, if Pattison's friends really think there is a chance for him they are in the position to make a strong fight in the Democratic Convention. They will not have very much to iear from Black, and while ex-Senator Wallace has been an open candidate, his candidacy is a very uncertain element, lie has lost much of that political vigor which in his old-time tilts with Randall made him so famous as a lighter, and the history of the [ ast few years has not been entirely to his political credit. A little linn liess would have given him the nom ination which went to Black, and j the complaint of his friends is tliaV they do not know just where to find him. Of course, all this is favorable to Pattison, who, shall he decide to plunge in headlong will go co the full lengths. It is inconceivable to understand how any Democrat, even in the dizziest of lights, can possibly figure out a Democratic majority. Isoth ing but the most serious split in the Republican ranks could bring that about, and there is not even a crack worthy of note that is yet, visible to the eye. The Republicans ate mov ing along quietly and electing their delegates, aiid with either Pattison or Wallace confronting the Republi can nominee a dignified but not at ■ all dangerous campaign would be insured—Phi ladelphiu Inyuirer. toml I'rocectliiiK*.
