Down on William A. Wallace, Chair
man. &c.


William 4. Wallace, Chairman Of the
Democratic State Central Committee, ap-
nroyer of coffee stained naturalization pa.
pcrs, &c, has again commenced the in
diligence of his squibbing propensitics,
and the prospects are that he will con-
tiuue to punish his party with his dia
tribes until the end of the campaign.
William is, doubtless, deeply impressed
with his skill in that line, and his cffu-
sions are, hence, as much a result Of the
promptings OF love, as of the promptings
of duty with him. But, unfortunately,
for William the party arc not likewise SC
impressed, and would just as soon that
he save his ink and spare them the in
Fiction. Among the masses this feeling
is freely expressed, and occasionally al
outspoken organ of the partAgives vent
to it. The Scranton Democrat" Of las
week, paper whose politics can never
be mistaken either for Republican ol
doub;fully Democratic, speaks its scnti
mcnts on this head, and on William \
Wallace generally, thus y:-
The Honorable William \. Wallace, Chair
man of the Democratic State Central Comm,
tee of the State of Pennsylvania, has commen
ccd his annual cfliIsions in the shape Of ad
dresses to the Democrats of this State w
wish that the Hon. William \. Wallace chair
man aforesaid, would learn that he has some
thing to do besides TO sit in his Office and in
dite short paragraphs. He holds an importan
and responsible position, and We do hope fo
the sake of the party, that he WILL this fall
show more capacity for it than he has eve
done heretofore. We recollect, last fall, tha
! the same William 4. Wallace gave assurance
to the Democrats that the Stale would certain
ly go Democratic by 4 handsome majority, an,
we recollect too, that we Just carried il by tn
skin of our teeth. We thought then that VI
should have had 10000 majority, and we still
think we might have had if the State had bccl
properly and prudently organized.
! We are very much of the opinion now, tina
| it will not do for the Democracy TO put thei
trust in Mr.. Wallacc's short paragraphs. Their
Is great work before Us, and it is pity tina
we couldn't have master hand ut the helm.
The victory that we propose TO get, would b
so much easier, for, say what Won will, there i
everything i'll efficient, able and capabl
leader.
4ir. William \. Wallace, chairman aforesaid
| ignores the great Issue before the people, TIN
Bond question. On this subject his address i
as silent the chamber of death. He seem
| 10 belong TO a race of old fossils who have bceI
dreaming for the last few years, BY and b,
he may wake up to the true issue before tn
people. We do hope that he will not forge
that il is of the Democratic Committee that IN
| is chairman, and not the Republican.
| However if he wants TO take up his bed an'
| board with the Bondholders, he had better go
! The Democratic party don't go bonds in an,
shape, manner or form, and any may or set q
men who attempt TO ignore the rights of tn
people on that question, has IN vulgar parlanc
got to go down the 1owhoIe
Work up this canvass then on the true issue
One currency for all the bond holder and tn,
