OUR CONTEST.

The Harrisburg Patriot has this editorial
notelet:-
"We have the best authority for announcing
that the effort to set aside the election of GER
tain officers elected in Philadelphia last fall,
and whose elections have been contested be-
fore the proper court OF that city ever since,
has resulted in signal failure on the part of
the contestants. The ordeal has been a severe
one, attended with a vast expense to the tax
payers of the city, and exceedingly veXatious to
the incumbents legally chosen by the people.
The failure. of this last attempt of radical
leaders to thwart the popular will by treating
elections as if they had not been held, will meet
with hearty response in the breast of every
honest man."
The Democratic Candidate for Governor.
What is there q crevice in Packers soli-
tary suit of armor; spot on Packers only pro-
tecting shield? The Democratic press of Penn
sylvania, whose united utterauce for any number
of weeks past has been in the nature of
prolonged and ecstatic crow over the unim-
peachable honesty of its candidate, has sud-
denly changed its Tone Packers probity is
still proclaimed, but with an angry vehemence
and a virulent denunciation Of all doubters
which are rapidly becoming suspicious 1t
seems that one or two Republican journals, irri
tated, perhaps, at having this single article of
Democratic virtue flung in their faces with such
persistent eXultation, have taken up the task of
investigating the question whether the miracle
of purity has or has not evaded the payment of
his taxes sinse the year 1867. Little as we are
inclined to disturb a cherished Illusion of this
amlable sort, we must admit that, accord
ing to all Appearances, the Pittsburg Re-
publican newspapers have succeeded, If we
may SO express it, in hitting Mr. Packer where
he lives 1t is directly alleged, and the charges
remain undsputed, that the Democratic candi-
date paid taxes, not willingly, but upon legal
compulsien, amounting to $32 600 in 1865; to
$25,G00 in 1866; and to $4,000 in 1867. But in
1868, by the pretense of changing his residence
from Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia, he man
aged to get clear upon payment of the trihing
sum of 1885, The details of this operation
have financial interest similar to that which
enlivens the achievements of some of our adroit
Wall street adventurers, but are not altogether
apt as an Illustration of personal integrity. Mr.
Packers supporters, without denying the
damaging charge, now endeavor to
weaken its effect by series of
pleas in eXtenuation. They admit that, with a
property of many millions he returned an in
come of less than $1,000, but undertake to prove
that he had perfect right to do SO. How much
weight this sort of argument will have with the
voters of Pennsylvania we shall be able to Judge
next month. The fine old French maxim, "QHi
S'eCCuse s'dccuSe," never had better applica-
ton than to the bungling defenders of Mr..
Packer from the direct imputaton of grossly
defrauding his town, county, and State.-From
the N. Y. Tribune of this morning.

WHERE He VOTED AND REsIDEs.-A number OF
inquiries have been made lately as to where the
Democratic candidate for Governor resides in this
city. After considerable trouble, the nearest name
to that individual has been found the list of
voters OF the Fourth division of the Sixth ward on
which appears the name Of Judge A. Packer. He
was challenged generally, when he gave as his resi-
