Another Speck of Cameronism.

At the regular annual Democratic conven
ton OF Berks county held last fall resolu-
, tion was passed instuctng the members OF
the Legislature then nominated ITO vote "a
gainst Simon Cameron for United States Sem
ator in the Democratic caucus. A few
weeks ago little town meeting gathered in
Reading TO make provision and arrangements
for holding the State Convention there. Hon.
E. B. Hubley presided, and the names of
elepen other persons appear as participants
in the meeting. At the close Of the procee.
dings resolution was adopted declaring the
nti.Csmeron resolution of last falls con-
veh.ioa 'unwise and unpolitic," rescirding
the instructions, (modest indeed!) and au-
thorizing the Berks county members 10 vote
as they pleased.
This lille incident needs no commentary
from us. Our readers will remember that a
year..ago we repeatedly declared Mr.. Hubley
was the Cameron candidate for Canal Com
missioner, and proved the fact by develop:
men,s at Williamspori, where Cameron,
Bes, & Co, were into the dirty work Of a
gain deluding the people. The proceedings
Of the Reading meeting bring new proof.
