Upon this question, the course of this
paper will be plain one--such one as
we conceive TO be demanded by duty to our
feelings, to our principles, and TO our par
ty. We, like others, have our personal
preferences, but these, we are determined,
shall never, for moment, be obtruded upon
the public in manner to create irritation,
or to prevent concentration upon that in
dividual who may be found best qualified to
unite the entire Democratic vote. ne go
far the dJsm Of Joseph Ritner and The
party By 7Ghich he is Sustained. %, To at
tain that object, VIC are perfectly content to
leave the selection Of candidate to the free
and Unrestricted action of the convention
satisfied, as we are, that that body will
make such selection as will meet the un-
qualified appreciation of the Democracy of
the State.-Pa. Reporter.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.

We perceive that our democratic hreth-
rem ofthe press, in various parts of the
commonwealth, are turning their attention
to the question of the Governors election,
and, we are gratifed to say, that, with only
one or two exceptions, the discussion is
carried on with the proper spirit. Although,
in several instances, preference Tor par
tcular individuals has been manifested, yet
that preference has been universally accom-.
panied by the truly democratic pledge to
abide by the decision of the nominating
Convention to be held on the 4th of March
next. This is as it should be. Let the
opinions of the members Of the party in
every section of the State be freely and
fully expressed-let the spirit ofconccssion
to the will Of the majority, which has been
thus far exhibited, be cherished and carried
outlet the delegates appointed to attend
the nominating Convention inform them
selves as TO the feelings and the wishes OF
their constItuents-and there cannot be even
remote cause TO fear that such selection
will not he made as will insure to the dem
ocratic party most triumphant victory.
Our opponents are calculating largely upon
disunon in our ranks, but time will show,
to their cost, that they have "reckoned
without their host" The democracy Of
Pennsylvania have seen the power acciden-
tally entrusted to our present rulers abused
and pervered;. they have seen tie ascer-
tanned will of the people trampled upon and
basely disregarded-and they now see that
a united and vigorous eXertion on their part
is all that is required to remove the evils
under which we labour, and to conslgn our
present rulers to that obscurity from which
thev should never have been suffered to
emerge. Under these circumstances, that
individual of the democratic party would be
recreant to the high and holy impulses of
duty and of patriotism who would, for one
moment, permit an Indulgence of personal
preiudces or pleleren es to endanger the
success of his principles, and leopard the
future prosperity of the commonwealth
But we have no fears upon this subject
The democratic party will present an un-
broken front. They have the strength to
ensure success, and they will not suffer
that strength to be impaired by contest
about men,

Legislative Keystone.

During the ensuing session of the legislature, the
Keystone will be published twice a week, and con-
tain full reports of the proceedings in both houses
1t will also contain an account of the proceedings
of the reform conventions, which, (judgng from
similar bodies in other states and the convention that
formed our present constitution will hardly close
its session before spring.
The political complexion of the legislature and
the important subject which will necessarily come
before it, will render the next session peculiarly in
teresting All eyes are turned this way for speedy
reform in our present defective currency Decided
action relative to the improvement system is ardently
desired in many quarters. These two matters of
themselves, form subjects Of intense interest to the
people at large.
On the 4th Of March, democratic convention
will assemble here and nominate a candidate for
governor. An account of this together with the
preparatory movements of the party in all quarters,
will be faithfully detailed From these circumStan-
ccs, there never was time when a paper from the
seat of govetment viii be of n spenssble value
to all the citizens Of the commonwealth, as for the
ensuing six months q

ly add that the Objectionable article was
penned as our own opinion, without con-
sultatlon with any other person, and without
intending TO "speak the sentiments of the
county" If such information had been
given us week since, it probably might
have occupied the space ofthe "il.timid and
unfortunate" article in question; and be-
sides being more congenial with our feel
ings, afforded considerable interest to our
readers and their constituents.

HARRISBURG, Oc'. 30, 1887.
Dear Sr,-We have noticed with aston
ishmsnt a paragraph in the "Democrar Of
the 2Sth inst. importing that the Conven-
tion is making preparations for an adjourn
ment before it shall have made, or essayed
10 make the alterations for which it assem-
bed. 1t further goes on to say that "hut
little good can be expected from its deib-
erations," sc. Now, Sir, ifany good was
ever Justly expected 20 flow from the calling
of a Convention, there is at this moment as
fair prospect Of that good as at any prior
period. What was expected! What did
yourself desire! We answer-dminution
Of executive patronage; election of county
officers; limitation ofjudcial tenure; short
ening the senatorial term, &C.; and restrc-
tions on granting acts of incorporation, (es-
pecially to hanks.) 1t is perfectly clear
that the two first will prevail. We are now
discussing the Sd subject, with a fairer pros
pect of success than at any former period.
And even the last subject may prevail,
though it is doubtful. Then why adjourn
now? That we are extremely anxious for
final adjournment is certainly true; but that
we shall resist such motion, until we shall
have attained the object of our meeting, or
fairly failed therein, is equally true, unless
absolutely instructed by majority Of our
constituents to vote otherwise. Now, Sir,
are we to understand you as meaning to
speak the sentiments of the county, and il
SO, by what authorily' Ifyou are speaking
only your own opinion, we beg leave to say
that we think the assertion ill-timil and
quite unfortunate. That time has been un.
necessarily consumed we admit: but thai
constitutes no reason why we should ad
journ sine die without completing any
thing. The democratic members here art
generally dissatisfied with the paragraph
coming as it does from democratic paper
If it be an "Experiment, who are in fault
We say majority of the voters of out
County; so zoe should forbear from sarcasm
The paragraph in question operates as ;
fair basis for conservative triumph
We remain your friends,

PIRAcY.-In another part of this paper
will he found some details respecting
most daring piracy committed within sight
of land off the capcs ofthe Delaware. The
excitement which its first announcement
produced in Philadelphia may well be i'm
agined, when several of the passengers
were citizens of that city, and of course had
relatives residing there, who buta day or
two before had bid them "God speed" on
their voyage in one of our noblest packets.
They wi scarcely, however, escape the
vigilance of the fleet vessels in pursuit; and
we hope in our next to he able 10 announce
the capture of ''thc black vessel" and its
numerous crew of desperadocs.
