FiffurcN 'or Paulson to Face. If those Democrats who have any lingering hope that Pattison can car ry Pennsylvania in this year of our Lord will only study the facts a little they cannot fail to . see how desperate their cause is. It is true that Pattison was elected once, but that waß in a year of gteat political unrest, when Independent voters Were as plentiful as blackberries and were led and thoroughly organized by some of the brightest men of the Republican party. Such events do not happen once in a lite time, and when, they do they always expend their force like a wave breaking up on the shore. Pennsylvania is thoroughly a Republican State, ns the election returns for the past fifteen years will show: Rep. Pem. Miijmry Governor 304,175 1876—President 384,148 366,204 17,944 R. 1877—Treasurer 241,51R 251,717 9,901 P. 1888—Governor 319.490 297,137 22,353 R. 1879—Treasurer 180,153 221,715 55.438 R. 1880—President 444,704 407,428 37,27*5 It- It was in 1877 that the Green back-Labor craze Mn over the land. That was the year of the strike on the railroads, when millions of dol lars' worth of property wore de stroyed in Pennsylvania alone. The Greenback party that year polled 51,158 votes and the result was a Democratic Treasurer by 9,001 ma jority, and a Democratic Supreme Court Judge liy 0,520 majority. The next year the Republicans nominated Hoyt for Governor in the midst of a great political storm. Disaster was in the air. The Green hack and Labor people united pulled up in their vote to 81,758, but in Spite of it Republicanism withstood the shock and Hoyt was elected. Since then the Labor party has ceased to be an important factor. In 1881 the Independent revolt began which resulted in the choice of Pattison the following year and the election of Mitchell to the Uni ted States Senate. The Legislature Of 'Bl was full of Independents angry at Cameron and Quay. They were led by Charles S. Wolfe, now a Prohibitionist, and a body of repre sentatives who are now almost to a man enthusiastic in support of Delamater. The Independents held the balance of power, refused to take Harry Oliver or Governor Reav er for United Staten Senator Wal lace's successor and forced a com promise on John I. Mitchell. The Independents thronged the State Convention of that year. Wolfe left Harrisburg in a rage, because the nomination did not suit him and his Independent friends, took a night or two to think it over in his Lewisburg homo, annoneed himself an Independent candidate for State Treasurer, and polled 49,984 votes. In spite of this the Republicans car ried the State by 6,824. But the Independents had tasted blood and were thirsty for more, and they started into defeat Beaver, the Re publican nominee for Governor, in 1882, without sense or reason. An Independent Convention was as sembled in this city with John Stewart as its nominee. The vote was : Pattison, 355.771. Beaver, 315,- 589. Stewart, 43,743. Pattison'B purality was 40,202, and with this "tidal wave ticket" of ol' eight years ago the Democrats expect to repeat their victory. The Chances for accomplishing it are certainly extremely slim. The re volt of 'B3 was accomplished only after many months of hard work, and when the victory was won the Independents went to pieces. The reaction was immediate. The Legis lature chosen in 'B4 re-elected Cam eron to the Senate. The following year Quay was elected State Treas urer. The Republicans who strayed away were always a little ashamed that they had aided in the defeat of Beaver, and when he was renomina ted in 'Bfi they rallied around him And buried the Democratic candid ate, Black, the relict of the Pattison administration, under a 42,000 nm iority. Never since 'B2 has the Re pjblican party been in danger of de feat, as the .Igures conclusively show : Rep. Dem. Majority 1883—Auditor .119,010 302,031 17,075 R -1884—President 473,804 392,785 81.019 R. 1885—Troasuret 321,694 281,178 43,518 R. 188#— Governor 412,285 300,031 42,051 R. ftß7—Treasurer 3*5,514 340,209 45,215 R. 1888—President 520,091 440,633 76,4 .8 R. IBB9—Treasurer 341,244 280,338 60,900 R. The split in 1882 seems to have done the Republican party good. It has never been stronger and its ma jorities have never been more magni ficent?. The Independent leaders in the revolt which elected Pattison, as already stated, are nearly all back to the Republican party. They ac complished all that they sought, mud more, perhaps, than most ol them intended. There are but a I hand fill of chronic growlers and kicked of the Wharton Barker or der left, and they are much better out of the p *rty than in it. Disap pointed liopes and ambitions are at the bottom of Mr. Barker's bolt in to the Democratic party, and peo ple with such absurd grievances are not placating or even listen ing to. The real Independents of 'B2 are Republicans and have no reason to bo anything else. Eight years ago Beaver's nomination was ma'le by delegates largely elected by county committees. There was then some reason for the cry of ma chine domination. Deiamater's nomination was made by delegates 'elected by the direct vote of the peo ple, and in not one single instance was a delegate sent to the conven tion who was not chosen through the agency of primaries. It is the height of absurdity, therefore, to concede for one moment that the Republican voters of Pennsvlvania will defeat the candidate that they themselves putin nomination. The aggregate vote in a Presi dential year always runs much high* er than on other occasions. Quay's majority in 'BS was 43,510 and Beav er's in 'B6 tVas 43.051. If Delamater, therefore, shall defeat Pattsiort by about 40,000 he will be keeping up with t'ue Republican procession. There is no reason to doubt that be can do this, and with the lively cam paign that is promised it will n'dt be surprising so see him pull these figures up a good many thousand higher. Wo think 40,000 a low esti mate for the majority which Penn sylvania will give for Delamater and protection. Secretary Blaine has written a letter to a constituent in which he puts himself on record on the sugar schedule of the tariff bill. He does not object to free sugar, but only to the way in which it is made free. We give, be says, in free sugar, a market for $95,000,000 of the pro* ducts and they give lis nothing in return. He says: "We ought to have in exchange for free 3ugar from certain countries a free market for breadstuff's and provisions, be sides various fabrics from all parts of our country. In short, we ought to secure in return for free sugar market for $60,000,000 or $70,000,000 worth of our own products. It will not require reciprocity treaties to secure this great boon. The Tariff bill can contain all the necessary conditions; The legislative power is to secure the desired end. With in the last twenty years we have given the countries south of us free admission for nearly §00,000,000 worth of their products without re ceiving a penny's advantage in ex change. If sugar be now made un conditionalh' free, we shall have given to the Latin-American coun tries free admission for $150,000,- 000 of their products. It is time, I think, to look out for some, recipro cal advantages. We are a very rich nation, but not rich enough to trade on this unequal basis." SIl XINK ITEMS.

During the prevalence of the grip unfortunate suffers from that epi demic prayed frequently for a cold snap, which it was thought would relieve them of their wretchedness by purifying the air and removing the Cause. The doctors were of the opinion that a sharp frost or fall of snow would bring surcease of sor row so far as it was due to influenza, and the mild Winter, which would have been otherwise blessed, came in for a good deal of blame, if not malediction. Now, howover, Ice land is sufFtring from the epidemic. Cold has not saved the inhabitants of that bleak Arctic island, and we begin to recognize that we were probably unjust to those balmy days. Justice is sometimes tardy, but al ways sure, and time has worked the vindication of the weather. Events will probably prove that William L. Scott is the friend of candidate Pattison oftly so far as he can use the latter to further the Domination of Cleveland for the Presidency in 1892. That there is any natural affinity between a mo nopolist like Scott and an avowed corporation-hater like Pattison is about as improbable as that oil and water should mix. —OF THE— SULLIVAN COUNTY AG R I CULTURAL SOCIETY!
