EDITORIAL CHANGE.

UMian1 d. BoaS, Esq. has become CO.
editor and proprietor of the "Pennsylvania
Reporter" at Harrisburg, which will here
after be published by Patterson & Boas.-
In announcing the new arrangement they
use the following language, from which it
will be seen that no change will take place
in its political character, but that the UNION,
the HARMONY, and the TRIUMPH of the DEM
ocratic party will be the sole object of their
jealous editorial exertions.
"The Reporter goes for the whole demo-
cratic party, without regard TO men, and it
is source of proud satisfaction to witness
the spirit Of unanimity which prevails
among the members of the republican
family, and the ardour with which they
have determined TO redeem our state from
the rnisrule Of anti-masonry and bank whig-
gerry. The division which existed in our
ranks at the last gubernatorial election, was
so unfortunate In its consequences, that but
one feeling SENS to animate every democrat
ic bosom, and that is to redeem the conse-
quences Of former dissensions as far as NAV
be practicable, at the sacrifice of all self sh
predictions or personal preferences. The
proprletors OF the Reporter belonged, during
the disastrous conflict of 1885, to separate
divisions of the party-but they express
their honest sentiments, and as they believe,
the sentiments of the entire democracy of
Pensy ylvania, when they declare their per-
feet willingness to forego even the warmest
individual preference that it is possible for
either Of them to entertain, rather than wit
ness repetition ofthe state OF things which
then existed, and which led to results
unfortunate and deeply to be deplored.
Animated by such feelings, it requires
not the gift of prophecy to predict what the
event ofthe next gubernatorial election will
be. The democratic party of Pennsylvania
is, when united, all powerful. The action
of the members of that party, when they
come to the polls in October, 1898, will be
an united one, and the victory thew will
then achieve over the combined forces o.
anti-masonry and whigism, canuot fail tc
redeem the character of the state, and restore
her to that rank Which she once held in the
scale OF the union, but from which she wa,
degraded by the accidental elevation of ar
administration remarkable for nothing bu
imbecility, and its utter subection to thu
designs and dictation of band of unprnci
pied, venal and corrupt demagogues. Tt
our democratic brethren throughout the stat
we would say, let your motto be ONWARD
The prospect before us is brilliant AM
exhilarating. The victory to be achieve,
at the coming election for Senators an,
Representatives, will be but foretaste q
that yet more glorious one that awaits on
eXertlons at the succeeding one, when
democratic Governor, is to be chosen. an,
the redemption Of Pennsylvania from IN
hands OF corrupt misrule, will establish
forever, the supremacy of sound PRINCIPLES
and the permanency of our free institutions
Let no man fater or look back; lot II
emulate the industry and perseverance q
our opponents, and we shall soon rejoice /
the consciousness that our duty has bee
performed, our rights asserted, and III
welfare Oiour beloved commonwealth en,ec
tually provided for"
