Will be found some extracts from the
leading Republican, papers ofthe State,
cullcd by John W. Forncy, of the
Philadelphia Press, showing the dis
satisfaction expressed throughout the
State at The nomination made at Tie
recent Radical State Convention.
The Lancaster Express repudiates
and refuses TO support the ticket, and
many Others admit as a foregono con-
clusion that it will be defeated. An
that is necessary is for the Democracy
to make a wise selection in nominal.

an overwhelming victory awaits them
in October.

The Philadelphia Press Of tho 18th,
collatcd tho following opinions of
number of tho leading Republican
papers of tho State, In order 10 show
how unpopular and unfortunate TO tho
party tho nomination OF Gen. Hart
ranit is. Wo annex tho result OF
Forney's investigation. Hc says:
Tho Lancaster Express repudatcs
the ticket and refuses to support it,
Tho Lancaster Enterprise says the
nominations arc weak that they rep.
resent, not the people, but clique Of
corrupt men, and II awaits further
developments TO save the party from
disastrous defeat. Tho Chester Re.
publican cannot comprehend the mo.
tives Of the delegates and says the
policy adopted will in tho end break
down the party. The Pittsburg Leader
says tho nominee for Governor will not
command the party vote, and adds that
"tho clique In management have had
rebukes that ought to have opened thoir
eyes ero now, aud from which IL would
have boen wise for them tohavc takor
warning. 1t is not safe for them to
calculate too strongly on tho oxpec.
tation that because Of tho important
bearing, well understood, Of the Octo
bcr election on iho one that follows IN
November, a therefore undivided rally
can be counted on at the former--that
to save Grant the party will certainly
stick to Hartranit."
The Pittsburg Chronicle thinks that
on tho eve or Il Fivsido"tiai contest
every dictate Of prudence should have
compelled the strongest nomination,
and is of the opinion that "it need not
follow that lIartranlt's defeat should
lose Pennsylvania 10 Grant. There
arc Republicans who will refuse to
abide the nomination at Harrisburg,
and yet accept the nomination ut Phil.
adclphia. There are hundreds of men
who will cordially support Ulysses
Mercur for Supreme Judge and yet
scratch Hartranit"
The Scranton Republican thinks the
people had little TO do with manufac-
turing the ticket; that Hartranit's
nomination jeopardizes the success of
the party, and that wind and tide are
both against us. II speaks the truth
boldly and without fear when il says,
"The great body of those who support
the Republican party are becoming
deadly hostile TO the tyrannical rule
of demagogues and rings in the nomi.
mating conventions and party manage.
ment generally. The Republican party
is composed of the intelligent classes
Of the country, and thcy will not sub.
nit always to this kind of thing"
The Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette
thinks hard work will be needed to
elect the ticket.s The Pottsvillc Miners
journal says that the convention was
controlled by the Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh managers, who can 'hardy
be expected to nominate agood ticket"
The Pittsburgh Dispatch speaks of
General Hartran!t's honorable war
record, but admits IN intense hostility
to him within the party.
A few days after, Forncy, in speak.
ing of the above extracts, says;
"The condensation OF the editorial
opinions Of the Republican State press
which appeared in Saturdays paper
indicated tho general drift Of sentiment
in the State, and makes it unnecessary

persons charged with the commission
Of crimes or oifcnscs not above the
grade of misdemeanor, in any court of
record, of criminal jurisdiction, tho

"Congressmen at Large.v

This term is familiar enough in the
politics Of many of the western and
growing states, where apportionments
never keep pace with populations, but
it is rather new one in Pennsylvania,
and needs some explanation. By the
present apportionment of United
States representatives among the sew
eral states, Pennsylvania has been al
lowed "a members. But the census of
1870 neccssitated a new apportion.
ment, which being made, allowed
Pennsylvania 26 members, or two ad
ditional. When Congress had an.
nounced this, the State legislature i'm.
mediately set TO work and reappor.
toned the State to correspond, divid
ing the State into twenty-six instead of
twcnty-four districts. This bill if it
had become law would have given
each of tho twcnty..ix Congressman
allowed tho State, q district from
which TO be chosen, SO that there
would then be no "Cougressmcn at
large" But Governor Geary has re-
fused to sign the bill or at least has
declared his intention not TO sign il
till after the next election. Tho new
SO laboriously con
structcd and arranged by the logisla.
ture falls TO the ground, at least for
the present, and the old apportion.
mcnt is still the law under which we
will have to elect Congressman the
coming fall. But this apportionment,
as we have seen, provides districts for
only twenty. four Congressman, while
the United States allows Pennsylvania
twenty-six. Therefore there viii be
twenty four Congressmcn elected from
tho twenty four districts and two Con-
gressmcn elected by vote of the
whole State. These two will bo Con-

The Congregational .fppOriicn-



The pure dcmagogucism of his Ex.
cellency Gov. Geary is again manifest
ed for the thousandth time in refusing
to sign the apportionment bill. He
does this in order to make capital for
himself According to late law,
Congressman will hereafter be elected
in November-on the day of the Pres

Gratis carry the Legislature in October

should the Radicals carry tho Legis.
laturc he will veto it, with the hope
that from now until the period indi.
Gated he will work himself into the
affections of the Grant ring, who in
turn will promise him something
handsome.
Geary is one of tic most complete
dcmagogucs that ever held the posi-
sion he does. lie trades in great
State affairs as glibly as ten year old

Ca:s lie Discerm sAe Signs or the
Times?

Cu.s he ytSCtFu sNf Ssghs OI tHe
Times!
We hear the muttorings ofapproach.
ing thundcrl The cloud of Black
Republicanism is surcharged with
terrible lightning, which threatens to
shattcr the White House to atoms.
Grant is the object of tho fatal shaft.
Schurz and Trumbull, in their late
speeches in New York, sounded tho
bugle blasts which are to muster the
irrcprcssiblcs TO tho great work Of
restoration and good government. a
great portion Of this work wc grant
is in the hands of the Liberal Rcpub.
licans, and we know that Trumbull
has the sagacity TO SEQ this and the
pluck, and we trust the patriotism, to
do it.
But tho path OF restoration lies over
the grave Of tho Administration party.
The office holders and cormorants Of
that party arc keenly alive to the fact,
and they will therefore fight against
the CINCINNATI movement with the
despair and desperation of fiends. A
restored Union, FREQ and honest clec-
tons, sends the Grant party into ao
eternal limbo, Trumbull and Pap
Greeley must be men of too much
sagacty to believe that they can patch
up any device which will preserve the
country and leave any remnant Of the
Administration party in existence
There is no ground (call il by what
ever name you pleasc) but that Of
Democracy upon which tho Union can
stand; not the Democracy Of the
bondocrats, but the Democracy that
roots on the principles of Jefferson
and the trainers OF the Constitution
of l7sS.
That the late demonstration in New
York is the key note of death TO tho
Grant party, no candid man will doubt.
1t has already shattered every timber
in that corrupted hulk.
But let the Democratic party exer.
else n prudent caution, lest it also
introduce new elements of discord
and apathy into our ranks, without
adding any additional strength. We
do not believe that in single State
the full Democratic vote was polled
in the late elections In Connecticut,
New Hampshire aud Rhode Island We
know it was not. Our advices from
reliable statistics prove this In hunt
ing after phantom "Liberal kepubli
can" votes our friends have failed to
get out all the Democratic votes. In
no State has the full Democratic vote
been polled for tho last six years, nor
do we believe il ever will DO pollod
again until the party in its platforms
and nominations returns 10 its time
honored and sacred principles. What
is now called "passive.sm,' IS the same
traitor to our theory Of government
that loyalty was in the Revolution.
That is the judgment of by lar the most
virtuous and intelligent portion of the
Democratic party. That Judgment
will only deepen and strengthen with
time. If the late elections have not
convinced the political policy dealers

Shakespeare makes Richard offer his
