KERABUCAN^AKTICKET FOR UofKRNOR, GEORGE WALLACE DELAMATER, Of Orawi'ord Ceunty. ro* LIKUTKHANT OOTKRBOR," LOI'IS A. WATRES. Of Lackawanna County. FOB HECRETART OP INTERNAL AFFAIRS. THOMAS J. STEWART, Of Montpomery County,- THE DEMOCRATIC TfCKET. The Democrats, assembled in Con vention on July 2nd, at Scranton, nominated as strong a ticket, with which to take the field against the equally strong one nominated on June 25, at Harrisburg by the Re publican Convention, as they probab. lv, or possibly even could lidve nom inated. That which makes it so strong is not so much the oonceded- Jy high personal worth and ability of the nominees, as the discriminat ing thought which determiried it, and the indisputable fact that it represents the deliberate, untram melled convictions and preferences oi the Democracy of this great Coiti monwealth. It is clearly to be per ceived that Mr. Pattison was chosen J the standard-bearer of his party lot 1 cause ; that he is, in fact, an emer gency man. At almost any other time, undet almost any other conditions, it can not be doubted that Mr. Wallace,! whose Democracy is as pure and I stern as that of Thomas Jefferson, j would have been preferred to his saccessful opponent. In the opin ion of the Faithful, of the Demo crats of the Brahmin caste, Mr. Pattison is not a pure and stern Democrat. Even in the Convention he was referred to contemptuously | as a "Mugwump, 7 ' as one whose! I Democracy was of loyalty. To the j better classes of Democrats this al- j lusion to him will be considered ; honorable, as it was inspired by his | persistent refusal, during all the J time he was Governor of Pennsvlva- 1 nia, to sacrifice the general welfare j of the people of the State to assum- j ed partisan expediency. But politics is practical, and in ; looking towards success it must be ' so cousidered. Mr. Wallace could ' and would have carried his party I solidly to tho polls and recorded its every vote. Can Mr. Pattison do that ? Leaders of acknowledeod shrewdness, like Mr. Harrity and Mr. Singerly, declare that he can. They also declare that he can do what Mr. WaMaCe could not do— viz., induce thousands of Republi cans to <:o to the polls and vote for him. The woods are full of dis gruntled Republicans, and they are coming up through the corn, say those leaders confidently. Mr. Pattison was nominated in stead of Mr. Wallace because it is half-believed and much hoped that he will attract from Mr. Dclamater the discontented Republican vote. Had it been a question of Demo cratic votes only, Mr. Wallrfce, the Stalwart Democrat, the shrewd, ef fective Oiganizer, the redoubtable partisan, would be the Gubernator ial candidate of his party to-day. But he could make no Republican reprisals, it was thought, and his opponent could; and so his oppon ent was chosen before him. The tickel, so far as the Democratic can didates for Governor and Lieuten ant-Governor are concerned, is iden tical with that 6f 1882—it is the same ticket which was that year elected. Mr. Black is a man of character and ability, and a shrewd, efficient campaigner. Undoubtedly the ticket is a strong one; hut there is that terrible 80,000 Republican majority confronting it. This is not 1882. There is no third party afield, placed there by indig nant Republican sentiment. There is no Independent movement aloot now as then. There is no organized revolt. There is no revolt of any kind. Mr. Delaraatcr is also a man of high character, —of independent, manly character,—of signal ability, of approved public spirit. Those who know him best like him host and respect him most. It Ruits the purposes of his political opponent to say that he is Quay's man. lie is no man's man but his own ; it suited the politics of Mr. Quay to have the contrary said ; it helped him in an emergency to have it said. This will be known long before tho day of election. It is known already throughout the State generally, and it was shown it was known here by the endorsement of Mr. Delaroater's candidacy by the Independent Re publicans and those most promi nent- of the Committee of One Hun dred. But if there is no revolt, there is some serious disaffection, it is said, there. So there is, but none &at will nob disappear before the ideas of November. Politicians are practical folks. Before electioh d\y Democrats and Republicans will fill into line like disciplined, loyal soldiers, and vote jfor the candidate of tbeir re spective parties. In that Mr. Patti son and Mr. Deta mater will be equal. In all else the odds against the ex- Governor, whose entire record, private and public, is one of con spicuous honor and usefulness, will be overwhelming. In ordinary times Pennsylvania is a Republican State by a crushing, imcohquerable majority: this is ati ordinary year. The conditions of Republican dis content and revolt which seemed to the Democrats to make Mr. Paul son's nomination wiser than that of another, have 110 real existence; and it wa«j therefore, a mistake to nom inate him. But while the l)cmo ci'atic contest will be unsuccessfully waged, it will make the Gubernatorial campaign one of peculiar interest; and it will serve to show once more how, under the most advantageous conditions, the Democracy are in it hopeless minority in this State. WILL SUPPORT THE TICKET. Stone anil Wa-tfngw Kpcnk at a Rati fication n«ctiil(i' Harrisburg, June 26. A public ratification meeting was held in ffont of the Lochiel hotel last night and General Hastings and Secretary Stone made speeches from the hotel balcony, promising to support the ticket. Secretary Stone said : I was a Republican yesterday; I sltiill be a Republican to-morroW. For twenty-five years I have worked for that party, believing in its princi ples, believiug ill its duty and in tile future of its mission. 1 believe in it to-day as I have evet done; I be lieve that the party ot Lincoln and the partv of Grant lifts still a mis sion ftnd a duty ttf fiulfill. The principals of the party lire my princi ples. The candidates to-day nom inated are my candidates. To their success as the representatives of the great and liviug issues ol our glor ious party I pledge my cordial, earn est and hearty support. HASTINGS' SPEECH. General Hastings was loudly cheered when he appeared upon the balcony. Among other things he said: "The Republican party always has beeil right, and the will of that party expressed through the repre sentatives of the people always will be right. I bow to the will of the majority. lam for every syllable in your platform, because the Re publican party leads in advanced thought and sounds the keynote of popular sentiment. The Republi can party is the party ol the ma jority, and lam going to give to the candidates you have nominated my earnest hearty and glad sup port. ELKLAN'D * ITEM A.
