Hon. Charles r. Buckalew was nomin-
ated on the 30th, for Governor of Penn
sylvania, by the Democratic State Con-
vention. Mr.. Buckalew is one Of the
ablest and truest men of the country, and
it is fortunate for the state that his NOM
nation, in the present condition of political
complications, is equivalent to an election
To great ability, Mr.. Buckalew adds great
courage, q quality which was conspicuous
in defeating conspiracy for corruptly
clecting Cameron to the U. S. Senate in
1868. Democratic vigilance and pluck
were then found to be too much for Cam
eron's money Mr.. BucKalew was tri-
umphantly elected. The contest between
him and Hartranft can have but one ter
mination.

Grants Sedan

The nomination of Hartrauft. a notori-
Gus ring" master, for Governor of Penn
sylvania, by the Radicals, has demoralized
Grants party in that State. Hartrauft
was implicated in the Evans frauds. one
Of the most stupendous attempts at public
robbery OF this tree-booting office holders
era.
The Philadelphia Post says that ssthe
Radical papers that are opposing Hart
rauft assume the anomalous position that
pennsylvania can elect the Democratic
candidate for Governor in October, and
yet elect Grant in November. We cannot
believe that any man acquainted with the
political history of PENNSYLVANIA can sim
cerely believe that the State can be lost to
the Republican party in October and saved
to 1t IN November. Hartrauft NAV be de-
ieated in October, and if he be. a disaster
as significant as Sedan awaits Grant in
pennsylvania in November If the first
be at all probable the latter will be inevi
table, and those Radicals who are leaSinp
IN this guerrilla warfare cannot be ipno-
rant OF it. They are simply fighting Grant
behind masked battery, and if they sue
coed in breaking the lines in October, a
rout must follow that will continue till the
second Tuesday Of November"

"churched' for gaming. 'All we ask OF

seat with an air of injured innocencs.

We devote considerable space to a
synopsis Of the great speech of senator
summer, feeling that our columns cannot
be better filled The conservatives and
Liberals owe debt of gratitude to the
Senator for his bold and searching expos
ure of the characteristics of our military
President. 1t comes Just at the right time,
from the right source, and will receive
the widest circulation which any similar
document ever had. Its utterances will
carry conviction to class of minds that
from prejudice would reject the same
sentiments and the same proof, coming
from other men. Let our friends read the
speech, and pass it to their radical neigh

just now there is u very brisk rivalry
among the different daily papers of the

lzed the completion of It's half volume by
charging its dimensions and reducing its
price. The enlargement was quite gener-
ally known, having been first mentioned
in this correspondence, but the reduction
in price was u surprise 1t was in fact -
coup in journalism. OF course, the other
papers were compelled to follow this ex-
ample, although it is safe to presume, not
with good will, since in one or two in
stances the cost Of the white paper used
is greater than that of the reduced price
for the printed sheet. The increase in the
advertising patronage of the Boston dailes
has necessitated Of late years frequent en-
largements, and even now supplements
are required at busy seasons, which fact
tells loudly of the sagacity and tact OF
Boston merchants, rs we'll rs of the bene-
fits arising from udcious advertising. AL
though the new price may embarass for u
while some of the dailes, it will doubtless
extend their circulation, and in the end
