Opinions OF the Republican Press in regard
TO the Harrisburg Convention.
(From the PreSs.)
A LAST WORD.
BEFORE THE CONVENTION.

We are told that it is too late in the
day to advise the delegates to the Re-
publican State Convention, and that we
are only struggling against the newt
able. We hope and believe not. AT all
events, it is our right and duty as a Re-
publican Journalist to speak out boldly
and plainly.
One word to the Philadelphia delega-
tion, which, in all probability, will have
the deciding vote. These gentlemen
know thesituation in this city, the gloom
of the present and the uncertainty ofthe
future. They were chosen by machin.
cry which nine tenths of the party con-
demns, and upon which even the City
Executive Committee pronounces the
doom of abolition. They know how
difficult it will be to call out the party
vote next fall, and the necessity of a
State ticket which will unite the thou.
sands of voters here, disgusted with
present management and tired of the
dictation OF few men. They know of
the sentiment here which will not tol.
eratethe slightest suspicion or the small.
est charge against candidate; they
have heard the mutterings of storm
which needs but one impolitic act to
burst forth, and they will, we trust,
heed the warnings.
Now, as Philadelphia goes. so goes
the State. In 1867 Philadelphia went
against US and Sharswood was elected
Judge of the Supreme Court. In 1869
Geary had 1886 majority in the State,
and Philadelphia gave him the measure
OF it, 4,400. Last year Stanton, for Aud
itor General, had 14,490 majority, and
we gave him II, ,494 oft. This city is
the bulwark of Republicanism. When
the Democracy carry it they will sweep
the State.
The wisest and best men in the State
our educators and champions in the
past-counsel the nomination of man
who will call out the vote of Philadel-
phia and enlist the enthusiasm OF IFS
thousands of Republicans, as devotedly
loyal in their attachment to the party
as any, but will not be forced into the
support of "set-up" candidate. Their
wise, disinterested, and patriotic coun-
sells must prevail in the selection of the
snen who are TO lead our columns and

A Dirty Dodge.

Gov. Geary informed committee Of
the late Republican Convention, that
he would not sign the Congressional
Apportionment bill, II at all, until
after the October election. His motive
is transparent. He proposes to take
advantage of the infamous gerryman-
der of 1852, aud then for fear the next
Legislature will pass fair bill, will
sign the oct of last winter, which is
nearly as unfair. Yet, knowing how
uncertain he is in performing his prem
ises aud pledges he may be induced tc
sign the bill. If he does not, we give
due notice to our opponents in this
District, that they must fight TO aoh ID.

wishes or the interests of the people at
large are concerned, was broad farce.
We never saw its equal, and we hope
we may never look upon its like again.
1t was more like ratification meeting,
called to endorse what had already been
agreed upon In q caucus called by the

nection with the Evans fraud, was bad
enough, and of itself greater load
than any party would be able to carry,
but 1t was completely supplemented by
the nomination of Senator Allen, whose

the "Nine Million Steal," and which
was thoroughly ventilated in the repub.

time that bold scheme for robbing the
treasury was attempted. To ask the
readers ofthe Express to support ticket

BILE insult. We do not believe it can be
elected, and the best reason in the
world which can be given for this opin.
| ion, to all honest meD, Is that 1t does
not deserve to be.
Perhaps the only redeeming feature
in the proceedings is the nomination of
Judge Mercur, who is said to be an un-
eXceptionable man, and well qualified
for the responsible position for which
he has been designated, though he owes
his choice rather to geographical con-
siderations than to any conclusions ba.
sed upon a comparison of the merits OF
the different candidates.
The selection of candidates for dele
gates at large to the constitutional con-
vention, which ought never to have
been assumed by partisan convention
was done by a packed committee
against the earnest remonstranccs of a
powerful minority, to whom even the
right of discussion was denied by the
prompt application of the gag welded
by plant tool in the chair.
Tho republican party cannot carry
such loads as these and survive. The
time has now come to call "halD'
along the line, il the rank and file
would save it frorl falling headlonG
into the fearful "slough of despond' to
which the leaders are hurrying it. We
know that the creatures of the ring Will
resort to the scare crow Of the over
shadoWinS importance of the presiden-
tial election, but this il an old and fa-
miliar device of the leaders to cover up
their indefcnsible acts which people
now well understand. 1.-THE men who
controlled the Harrisburg convention
had been really solictous of the success
of the presidential ticket they would
never have placed such an incubus
upon tho party as the ticket against
which We now enter our solemn protest.

In the Senate on Wednesday Of Inst
week on motion of Mr.. Sherman, the
House message denying the right ofthe
Senate to amend tariff bill was r3fer
red to the Committee on Privileges. He
said it was the first time it was ever
disputed that the Senate had such
right. Mr.. Frelinghuysen introduced
a bill giving the American and East
Iniian Telegraph Company the right TO
have and maintain lines ofcable between
the American and Asiatic coasts.
In the House there was discussion of
the bill abolishing the franking privi
lege. Mr.. Carroll opposed it as anti
republican. Mr.. Potter regarded the
present bill as a buncombe measure.
Mr.. Butler also opposed it, and explain
ed his former vote in favor of such a
bill by stating that he knew the Senate
would kill it, The bill was recommitted
that is, killed.

a resolution adopted by the West Vir-

From the Reading Eagle J


The nomination of such man as
Hartranft-who is well known as
friend of Geo. 0. Evans; as "a notorious
jockey and sporting man." deeply
interested party in all schemes for plum.
dering the national and state govern
ments to which he could possibly gain
admissions; a man who has been time
and again denounced by honest republi
can senators like Messr5. Billingfelt and
Warfel; man who can only command
a mere handful of votes in republican
stronghold like Lancaster county

and defeat he will receive if the peo.
pie of Pennsylvania are in earnest in
their desire for reform.
Notwithstanding all the whitewash.
ing and shirking of the questions, at is
sue by Hartranftandh his aidersand abet.
tors in the Evans frauds, it is too evident
that Hartranft, as auditor general, is
deeply concerned in those rascally
transactions. A Harrisburg correspond
of the Philadelphia Press stated, before
the nomination, that some very unplea-
SAINT facts were being rakd up in con-
nection with Hartranft's peculiar ac-
tion5 in regard to the state sinking
fund. Hartranft was member of the
board, and, in connection with state
treasurer Mackey, recommended an
additional loan of So, ,000,0 900, in the face
of the fact that there was then in the
state treasury an unexpended balance
of S1,2O1 1863, 81, all which belonged TO
the sinking fund. Another thing that
shows badly for Hartranft is the re-
markable financial exhibit Of the con-
dition of state treasury presented by
Messrs. Hartranft, Mackey, and Jordan,
in response to Mr.. Billingfelt's resolu
tion-an exhibit that shows that over
due loans, bearing interest, amount to
$1,654, 2S3,20 (not including the loan
due in February last), with an uneX-
pended balance in the state treasury of
5, S66, ,794 ,43, which presents no excuse
for this undOubted mismanaGement OF
the peoples money.
From the Lancaster Enterprsc.l
The proceedings Of the state conven-
ton, and the ticket nominated, appear
in another column. The action of the
body has caused wide spread dissatis-
faction, which finds very plain express
ion in the leading city journals, as well
as among the delegates on the floor OF
the convention itself. The ticket as it
stands is admitted to be weak one.
Why was it so formed? Because the
action of the convention was controlled
by the same ring which usurped the
powers of the whole party in the selec-
ton of national delegates. Knowing
this, honest republicans are absolved
from the allegiance claimed to be due
to candidates who are the actual choice
of the majority. Candidates represent.
ing not the people, but clique of
corrupt men, cannot expect to receive
that united support which is essential
to success.
We await developments, believing
that some radical change in the present
situation is the only way to prevent an
improper nomination from resulting
in a disastrous defeat, which the party
can least afford upon the very tfresh-
old Of presidential election.
