The electors of each district are therefore re quested to make proper nominations for dele gates to said convention, the rules governing the nomination of candidates for S ate Senator to be applicable. In this connection the Clmtrman desires to call the attention of Republican voters to the recom mendation of the State Convention of 1S82, that "they allow the greatest freedom in the general participation in the primaries consistent with the preservation of the party organitation," 1VM. H. ANDREWS, Chairman. THE POLITICAL "REFORMER." As a sample of the mnd-dog poli tics of certalu so-called Republican ed itors wo call attention to the appeals In sucb journals as the Doylestown Intel ligencer for Republican harmony which according to Tho Intelligencer, should be signalized by politically killing Quay and supplementing that act by kicking to the rear all of his friends. The query therefore urlses how much would there be left of the Republican party to do business with after the kill lug and Kicking bee was at an end? AVhydon't these poor Idiotic reformers stop to consider that harmony is not pro duced with bull whips or by insulting those who, to say tho least, are just as honeat, just as sincere and just as 419 much entitled to vote their convict Ions as the sweetest smelling "reform er?" And how In the world can tho "reformer" hope bo score victory against a united Democraoy by need lessly antagonizing tens of thousands of men, all of whom are needed to in sure tho safety of the ticket, unless it is conceded that the cudgeled, car tooned and "flayed" victims of his wrath are so much better Republicans CEISTTS per yd for tho BEST TABLE OILCLOTH, Sold In other stores for 35c.

Tho facts aro tho "reformer" is a squealer. He is not any better than his neighbor; possesses no greater rights; Is made of no better or cleaner clay, but ho is a natural born whlncr and when ho cannot do all the bossing ho refuses to play, turns his back upon his fellows and trudges homo bellow ing like a calf over the "mean boys" who refused to acknowledge hlssuperl or (?) authority. Ho is not satisfied with a division of honors; he must have the whole hog or nothing regardless of the rights or wishes of others. To be ex plicit. The regulars, the men who re spect the wishes of the majority, are not gunning for mugwumps nor are thoy preparing spits to roast the chaps who deserted last fall and made a Dem ocratic governor possible. They recognize the fact that there was a fool ish division, but as there Is nothing to be gained by discussing that point they are willing to forget and forgive and to hold the gate open for all to re turn to their father's household. But strange to relate tho deserters want to drive out the regulars; in short, they refuse to condone the loyalty of the men who steadfastly stood by tho ticket and herein is tho ridiculousness of the whole situation. However "re formers" who vote the Democratic ticket are not the Republican party of Pennsylvania and it is highly probable tho Republican party will not throwup Its hands at thecommaud of any such crowd now or hereafter. The Republican party wants peace and good will all around the board, and we submit the question: "Isn't it about time the mugwump laid asldo his bull-whip and began practicing" that which hesogllbly preaches good will toward his neighbor, and' har mony, and decenoy, aud lustlce, and respectful consideration of tho rights, privileges and feelings of his fellow men? In short, hasn't there been enough name calling and isn't it about time to come together for an old fash ioned love-feast to basupplemented by an old fashioned Republican victory in November?

ONE CHILD BURNED TO A GRISP- And Another Suffocated-Slxteen Families Driven From Their Homos at tho Doad of Night. Torriblo Seeno3. Hrooklyn, N. Y., July 15. Fire which started at midnight in the four- story brick tenement house on Btati street near Bond, soon communicated to tho adjoining tnonietit and both buildings wero completely gutted. While tho origin of the tiro is not yet known, tho general belief Is that Brooklyn still has desperato fire-bugs at large. The flro has left sixteen fmniliei homeless and caused tho death of two children, besides iujurles to several other persons. The scenes of all tenement ilres wero repeated in this one. Panic- stricken tenants, roughly mid sudden ly awakened, lied to windows for escape. Flumes mot them, mid In tho on. equal light tho fire won.

A policeman succeeded in entering tho builtling shouting the danger to sleeping tenants. Out of tho hallways there dashed at Irregular intervnls white robed mothers with children In arms, and hulf-dreesod men, some grimy and some witlffecorchedhtiir, which proved how close had been tho call with them The dreadful scones of folks dropping out of windows and from oil lire es capes were spared thoso in front, for uo human being could have looked out of n front window and lived. The battle for life was in tho rear, and into tho little twin yards tho fright ened ones came. The lire escapes wero filled with tho frautio people tumbling aud falllug over eaeii other In their hasto to get out. Tho win dows were filled with women shrieking for help. Tho firemen worked nobly, and soon had ladders up In addition to the fire escapes. As fast as possible tho fire men scaled tho ladders, coming down each trip witli some overoomo woman or child In their arms. Among those injured are: Bridget Burchlll, 00 years old, a Iacci ated wound of the scalp, caused by fall ing fiom I he fire escape. Mrs. Mary A Bishop, badly bruised lUM.lll I11U IIIIIOS.
