THE AFTERMATH.
After a calm ntid delibernto reviow
of nil the circumstances attending the
just finished fight over the presidency
of tho league of Kepubltcan clubs no
Republican cnn( by any construction,
justify himself in an attempt to defeat
the Republican state ticket.
ltobinson was vice president of
the Icnguo and, naturally, he aspired
to tho presidency. Ills able servico as
vice president, his success in securing
election, first to the State Senalo and
then to Cougress, and the fact,of his
being so popular with tho people of
his county that he has had them with
him every time he has been a candi
date, mado him an exceptionally
strong uinn for the position.
Dalzell, the Congressman from Pitts
burg, has also been a successful
politician, is intelligent and able, and
hnu a perfect right to be a candidate
for the piesldency.
Here, then, the matter should have
resolved Itself Into a contest for tho
presidency of the league and should
have been conducted as such. But

was charged with organizing mush
room clubs, but when he insisted that
all such clubs be excluded the Dalzell
people were the first to jump to their
feet and enter a bitter protest. As the
fight grew warmer Robinson, realizing
that perhaps some unscrupulous peo
ple might use it as un excuse for stab
bing the candidates on the State ticket
in the back, offered to withdraw from
the contest, providing Dalzell would
do the same. The oiler was made in
the interest of peace and harmony.

the oiler as anevideuce of weakness,
continual otganlzing mushroom clubs
with renewed vigor, with the lieu
that they would bo on tho safe tide in
case tho new clubs should be admitted
to the convention.
Tho battlo Is now over. And what
Is tho result? What does it demon
strate on tho mushroom question ?
Tho mushroom clubs were stopped at
the door and Dalzell was defeated.
None but regular clubs were allowed
to vote and 141 of them voted for
Robiueou, while but 42 cast their
ballots for Dalzell. Why Dalzell se
cured but 27 votes mote than the al
most unheard of Warren I Who,
then, was the cholco of the people?
"Ah ! but the bo.s rule," says some
body. Tho boss rule i O, yes ; tho
Philadelphia Press and tho Pottsvllle
Miners' Journal laid great stress upon
that argument. Roblnsou, they said,
was a prodigy of the bosses and the
champion of their cause, and they
wore behind him in the league light.
The contest, they reiterated time and
again, was a light between Dalzell and
the people aud Robinson and the
bosses. Rut what is Chris. Magie,
and whut are the people who rally
about his standard? Rosses, indeed!
What a spectacle tho editor of the
Journal made ol himself in Scranton,
hobnobbing with and taking orders
from Chris. Jinnee 1
OOME DOWN.
The tlmo has arrived when our
friend Patterson, of the Journal,
should realize his folly nnd get down
from his high horse. Tho circus sea
eon is over and the more frequently he
expresses the opinion that tho result
at Scranton "cannot fail to be in
jurious to the party" the more ridicu
lous ho will make himself appear in
the eyes of the intelligent voting
readers of his paper. All true friends
of Dalzell and the Republican party
will now join the unsuccessful candi
date in the chorus,
I wasn't lu It,
Ho be it.
Now, boys, turn In
Ana work for the ticket.
The Journal says tho Shenandoah
club had no voice in the proceedings
at Scranton yesterday. This is true as
to the Shonaudoah Republican club,
but the J. Don Cameron club wns In
it and cast three votes.

Tho end was not yet. Our victorious

OAPT. JOHN W. MORRISON.
Republican Candidate for Stato
Treasurer.
Everybody knows that this is one of
Colonel Alexander Ku Klux McClure's
Democratic years. It has puzzled even
this political gymnast, however, to find
u plausible argument to advance against
the Republican state ticket. He does
not attempt to criticize General Gregg.
What annoys him, too, U tho fact that
he has already gone ou record in com
mending Captain Morrison.
Upon tho organization of tho last
houso Colonel McCluro wroto:
"The selection of John W. Morrison
as chief clerk was a foregone conclusion,
and a better selection coulel not huvo
been made. He is capable und honest,
and has had sufficient experience to
qualify him in an unusuul degree for
the placo. If tho minor positions are
as well filled as that of chiof clerk the
Pennsylvania houso of representatives
will bo exceptionally well officered."
