Ny Dean sm / thank you for your
congratulations They arc peculiarly
gratifying from SO old and valued a
friend as yourself. ! do not know why
any one should misapprehend my polit.
zeal position on account Of what has
happened. ] have never concealed my
opinions Ny record in the Senate is
open to everybody, | believe as firmly
as ever tn the doctrines which | have
advocated far the last sixteen years,
ever since the republican party had a
national existence. There are certain
ideas, indeed, which have grown into
prominence since the passage OF the
acts Of reconstruction, in which ] do
not believe | do not believe in the
continuance political disabilities after
they have become a needless and mis-
chieyous irritation without a single
good result. ! do not believe in mis-
called civil rights bills, subversiye Of
local self government and destructive
of the school system Of whole groups
of states. / do not believe in the re.
enactment Of the ku.klux law, after il
has expired by its own limitation and
has accomplished all that was originally
alleged to be its purpose. The truth
is, that since the adoption Of the last
three amendments to the constitution
Of the United States, and the closing up
of the war question, our foreign rela
tons and our domestic policy in mat
tiers Of finance and revenue are again
assuming their natural prominence.
To intrust these great interests to
an administration madeup and CONTROL
ed by Mr.. Greeley would be mere mid
summer madness
The administration Of the State de-
partment during the last three years
has preserved for the nation an honor
able peace in midst of the most delicate
and embarrassing complications, boil
with Great Britain and Spain, while
that Of the treasury has steadily en-
HANGED the public credit and promoted
the business interests Of the country
/ do not appreciate the wisdom Of those
who, instead of all this, would press al
untenable claimfrom England at the risl
Of ar, would recognize the belliger
ency Of the Cuban insurgents contrary
to every principle of international law
and would diminish permanently The
specie reserves in the federal treasury
to ten or twelve millions of dollars a
whatever hazard to the public credit
There are other matters to which
might allude, but these are perhaps
enough. You and | will continue il
the old republican track If new
issues arise we will think and act al
our convictions of expediency and duty
require, and always be hopeful for thu
future of our country.
Yours Truly,

Justice at Last.

The decision in the MClurc-G Gray
case by which Col. Mcclure takes his
scat in the Senate of Pennsylvania will
be hailed as triumph of truth over
perjury honesty over fraud; decency
over ruffianism; and we might add,
independent journalism over those con.
trolled by thieving rings, as to their
credit be it said that several of the
leading Republican journals in Phila-
delphia stood up squarely for Mcclure
in his contest with the perjurcrs,
FOUNDERS and rcpcatcrs, backed by
Gen. Grants office holders and the cor
rupt State House Row, who have for
years managed to carry the elections
in city ard State by fraud and violence
This will leave the Senate, 16 Demo
Gratis to 10 Republicans, with Mcclure
with the casting vote. OF course II
was Radicals only who sought to per
sccutc and defraud him, while every
Democrat stood pon the side Of honor
and justice. To the former he is in.
dcbted for nothing--to the latter he
is indebted for his seat, and we won't
attempt nowto guess where his vote
will be recorded upon tho just meas
ures advocated by the Democratic
members. We may say, however,
that the Infamous Congressional ap
porLionmcnt bill will not be passed by
tho Senate in its present shape. Nc
Clure always dcnounccd.the unfi.irncss
Of the last apportionment; told the
leading men Of his party that it was
unjust, and he will not be caught vot.
ing for one which is even more infam.
GUS in its bearings. This much has
been gained by the triumph of Col.
Alex. X. Pittsburgh Post.

JUSTICE Tho Altoona Sun reviews
the conduct of Benz l.. Hewitt, Blair
county's Representative in the Legis-
lature, right sharply and truthfully.
This man Hewitt is a mere tool at
Harrisburg for the Cameron faction,
and cares about as much for the inter.
est of his constituents as the Lion
does for the Lamb. His conduct on
the boom question was outrageous,
and in our view of the case was direct
ly in the interest Of Peter Herdic and
against that Of the State at large,
and that of the mcrcenary dcmagogue
instead Of the liberal statesman.

1ERDIc uEAD.-The boom bill has
been defeated. Peter bought and paid
for % members of tho Assembly, just
s4O,0OO-sl 900 apiece. But it was
not divided in that way; some of the
members were greedy enough to vote
against the reduction for sl50and 5000.
Hcrdic can well afford to pay this
sum, because by the present boom
rates hc will collect sl5O,0OO off the
West Branch lumbcrman, hence he
can donate $4,000 to the members Of
the Lower House-about 40 Of whom
should be shouldered by the people of

The near approach Of the State Con-

opposed 10 the use Of his name for

A superficial view of the field here

that we are oil "spIit up" from tho
fact that an unusual number of gentle
man have been named for Governor.
Clearfleld, at her county meeting in

ample Of her neighbors and made
another "split' by naming one of her
own citizens, who would have gone
into tho contest with many friends,
and with little effort could have SO.

deemed impolitic and inexpedient,
