this opportunity Of learning the singular traits
I'm the character of one, who, in his brief ca

HoSEsT OLD PENNsYLvAEIA.--1he Louisville
Morning Courier Of Saturday last, says. Now
that the ''noise and confusion" of the Presiden-
tial battle has subsidized and we arr enabled
quietly TO review the incidents of the contest,
we canno! refrain from congratulaling our
friends here, natives OF the keystone, upon the
glorious realization of the ir ardent hopes and
wishes that she would cast her twenty-six
votes for honest Old lack
Truly, our friends, Pennsy lvania born, have
reason to be pioud of the State OF their nativi-
ty. She has given her votes TO Gen. Taylor BY
a proud majority over all opponents, and she
has elected him to the Presidency.
Pennsylvania was the battle ground, and
she was overrun by hosts of 'Guths aud Van
dals" reeking from the "offices" at Washing
ton, scattering gold, and promises broadcast
over the soil. Nobly did her sturdy, honest
yeomanry do their whole duty. They redeem
ed the character of their Stat and rebuked ev-
cry attempt TO bride or drive them TO the sup
port of the corrupt party who had deceived
them in 1914.
All hail! Honest old Pennsylvania!

from Columbus, Ohio, received at Louisville
on Friday night-w hich may be found in an
other column of to-day's paper-our reade rs
will discover that the locofoces have succeed
ell in electing Speaker in the Ohio Senate,
which is composed of thirty-six members, half
of whom are wings and the other half locofo-
cos. No compromise can be made in the
Hous'. The conduct of the locofocos from
Monday until Friday is represented as having
been disgraceful in the extreme. AT s o'clock
on the morning of Monday. says the Louisville
Journal, two hours before the usual time of
meeting, few taps of the State House bell
were heard, and the Locofocos, all of whom
had been previously apPrised of the unusual
proceeding, went to the State house, where
they sworn in by Judge Reed, the dig
nilied functiOnary who was last year arrested
in Cleveland for an attempted rape upon a ser
want girl.
At a regular hour, the bell of the State
house was rung, and the Wings proceeded to
the legislative Hall, where they found The Lo-
cofocos; with a speaker in the chair, in pos
session. A Wing assembled the steps of the
speakers desk and called upon the assembly to
come to order, and then, according TO custom,
introduced last years clerk of the House; re-
questing him TO call the roll of members. The
individual whom the Locofocos had placed in
the chair said he would call the roll also The
clerk and the Locofoco speaker commenced
calling the roll at the same time AMI most
delightful state of confusion was the couse
qence. In the upruar nothing like order was
observed IN any part of the house. The crowd
in the Hobbies enjoyed the scene and did ever,
thing in their power to increase the turmoil
After The Wing members had been regularl,
sworn in. leading Wing moved an adjourn
ment, which was carried and the Wings lief
the HOUSE. The Locofoco members remained
at their desks and instead of going home, Xix,
gentlemen, to their dinners, pulled out crack
ers, cheese, and sausa ses, and proceeded to
general munching I'M IMITATION of the illuslriou
SAWYER
We look upon the conduct of The Locofoco
as utterly indefensible. They met at Il mucI
earlier hour than usual and got up their coun
terfeit organization while the Wings were alb
sent waiting for the usuBl hour of meeting Il
come round. The Wings went to .he STAT
house at the regular hour, and proceeded t,
organize in the customary way. That was III
only course lief. them. for they could not sane
ton the unprecedented revolutionary course Q
the Locofocos by sustaining what had bee
done.
We hope the Wings will do nothing b
which the dignity and decency of the part
will be compromised. They should be at ono
prudent and firm, resolved 10 maintain thei
rights and TO respect those of their opponents
We trust that some kind of compromise ma
be effected between the parties, and that moth
ing more disgracefu than what has already oc
CURED will be suffered to take place.
