VINCENT, Chairman. \v)iat IK the mailer Wicli The New York Sun makes the point that Senator Quay is no bet ter and no worse than when lie served the great National Republi can victory in 1888 in his capacity as Chairman of the organization and commends its consideration to the reformers who put forth the late address. The /Sun also wants to know whether the cropping out of this opposition is due to the fact that with the defeat of Delamater his pulitical fortunes have been taken to be on the wane. There is matter for reflection in what the Sun says. "When the great shout of victory went up over the election of Gener nl Harrison Quay was the hero of the hour. What has he since done to forfeit anybody's confidence or respect ? It is true that he has been the object of numerous attacks nnd of serious charges, but nothing that has been said concerning him in anyway affects his conduct sub sequent to the Presidential election. The oflenees with which he is charged were committed some twelve or thirteen years ago and since that time he has been elected State Treasurer, United States Senator and placed at the bead of the National organization of the party. \\ hen he carried the State for the office of State Treasurer in 1885 on a popular vote over a most repu table opponent by over 43,000, h;s public record was jusi as much open to scrutiny and quite as well under stood as now. But at that time it did not suit the purpose of these virtuous reformers to ventilate it. They had no special object in killing off Quay. Now however, they have. The election of a Senator is coming on and their purpose is to keep Quay from succeeding himself. Whether they have any particular man for the place has not yet been developed, but it is apparent, at least, that they haye entered the field thus early to destroy Quay. It may be that Senator Quay will have to retire at the end of his term, lie has no more right to the place than any other citizen, and the people may demand some other rep resentative in the Senate. But, should Quay be retired, it will hard ly be on the Blankenburg address, which .-imply threshes over the old straw and revives the stale charges. If the allegations made against Quay are potent, now, why were they n»t used with all their effect before he gained his present prominence ? The fact is, they are simply made to do duty in the absence of any thing else, in an altered situation, tiling else, in an altered situation. KNIGHTS IN STATE POLITICS. 1 A Sensational R port en the Last Leg islature to be Issued This Week, j TURNING TO THE REPUBLICANS, j PHILADELPHIA, July 13 —James, L. W'Tigbt, the well known general lecturer of the Knights of Labor and the organizer of the original Local Assembly No. 1, who has just returned from the Rochester con spiracy trials, is brimfnl of newp re lating to the order. This is of more than ordinary interest. The knights, it appears, are taking a political stand of considerable importance, and this week they will issue a pamphlet addressed to the working men of the state that will cause a ( sensation in labor and political circles, indicating, as it does, a change of base in the organization, practically committing it to the fu ture support of tho Republican party. "The desire of the Knights of Labor to get certain laws passed in this state," Mr. Wright said to-day, "induced us to support candidates pledged to ballot reform in the last campaign. We therefoie supported Pattison and Black and those can didates frr the legislature who were pledged for it. It was however, the Republicans at llarrisburg who gave us the constitutional conven tion that will be voted on this Fall. •'On this account the report of our committee will be issued in pamphlet form to the public, show ing how, each representative and senator has voted on all labor and corporation bills. It is a report that will cause a great sensation." "Does it commit the Knights of Labor to the Republican party?" he was asked. 'I am not prepared to answer that question just at this time. I will say that the report will show the working people of this state just who their friends are. Watch for that report and draw your own conclusions. The Knights of Labor are stronger now than ever before, because the organization is a more intelligent one than it has ever been. It has a stcadj-, health ful growth, and if it is not stronger, numerically speaking, than it was ever before, it is much more power ful, owing to the more intelligent and steady character of its member-1 ship." "Is it a political orgarizfition ?" "Yes ; in every sense of the word it is a political organization ; but it is no-partisan." Beyond his pretty plain intima tion of the character of the future politics of the order, Mr. Wright would say nothing more of the sen sational pamphlet to be issued. "You can draw your own con clusions from what I have said of the report as to our present and fu ture political sentiments," was his rather evasive answer to direct ques tions concerning the details of the forthcoming pronunciamcnto, which he did not think proper to discuss fully in advance of its official issue. —llarrisburg Patriot. This means positive victory for the Republican party in 1892. The Dcmorrac)' l.osins in tlic Sonlli' WASHINGTON, July 13. Political observers are watching with great interest the changes that are going on in the South. It is not over stating the matter to say that the Democratic leaders are not seriously alarmed over the defection of the farmers. The Farmers' Alliance and kindred organization in the various States instead of losing strength are gaining steadily. It is true that they are moderating their views and the mass of the farmers are less radical in their financial views, but they are thoroughly in earnest and expect to keep up the i fight until they get some portion of their demands. IN KENTUCKY. The situation is most alarming in Kentucky, The farmers' organiza tion has made a deal by which they are to support the Republican State ticket in August in exchange for the Henublicans assisting them in electing the Legislature next year. The Democrats make no attempt to conceal their alarm. The Louisville Curier-Journal for weeks contained daily fulminations against the new constitution which is to be voted on. It has been obliged to cease this op position to hold the party together. Colonel John Young Brown, the Democratic candidate is not the strongest man in his part}', and if the deal between farmers and Re publicans is carried out the combi nation will win. Although few leaders of either party arc here now, they are con stantly dropping in and out of the city, particularly Democratic mem bers-elect, who are interested in the Speakership. They all agree that something must be done by Con gress to stop this defection or the party is done for in '92. IN TIIE CAROLINAB. In North Carolina the third party movements is assuming alarming proportions. The Alliance leaders are firm and do not propose to yield to either party. If the Alliance polls 20.000 votes the Republicans will carry the State in '9;.'. Presi dent Polk says the Alliance will poll 100,000 votes, so it can be easily imagined that the Democrats are on the anxious seat. In South Carolina there is the same condition of things, only taore so. The Alliance now controls the State, and if there is a Presidential candidate in '92 the State will choose electors for him. JAMISON CITY ITEMS. S. A. White Esq., spent Sunday at his home in Light Street. Frank Barrager Esq., spent Sun day with his wife at LaPorte. Hon. C. R.
