Trss,nbuII on the slump.

Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, the
day after the joint State Convention,
opened the campaign at Springfield,
where he opened it Is years ago when
he left the Democratic party.
He stated that eighteen years ago
he had spoken in the same place on
the political questions which led to
the formation Of new parties. During
the seventeen years he had been in
the Senate as their representative
events Of the most momentous charac.
ter had occurred. The questions upon
which the Republican party was form
ed have been settled, and settled, as
he trusts, forever. Nothing is now
left but the organization, and that or.
ganization has fallen into the hands of
men who seek to prostitute the name
OF party TO their own selfish ends.
Senator Trumbull then alluded to
public affairs He said that within
the past few years abuses had crcpt
into the administration Of the govern.
ment, and referred especially to the
defalcation OF Paymaster Hodge, by
which over 100000 was lost, and to
abuses of the New York Custom House.
He arraigned President Grant for nc
potism, for gift taking, for bis unwar.
rantcd interference with the rights Of
States, and for the military spirit
which impclled him to centralize pow.
er in bis own person. Such tendencies
werc pronounced TO be full of danger
to free people, whose rights and lib
critics, by being gradually and inscnsi.
bly, ubstractcd from them, woro in
danger of being lost entirely. Tho
Cincinnati Convention, made up Of
the most independent men in the coun.
try, WAS called to remedy the OWLS
which threatened disaster to the re.
public, unless men who priced the
country higher than party were bold
enough TO advance TO the rescue. The
dead past should bury its dead. A
new era was dawning. Old political
lines were being wiped out, and the
liberal men OF the two old parties
were joining all over the country, as
they had joined in that city to day, to
form now party, on whose banners
should be inscribed "Reform where.
ever needed and progress for the en-,
tire people" Civil service reform
was impossible under President who
was disposed to use the vast patron.
age under his control to reward an
army Of relations and to secure his
own re election. The sale of arms to
France was unjusti6ablc, whether con
sidered as an international problem or
as simple act of justice to one Of the
combating parties.
The Philadelphia and Cincinnati
platforms wcro contrasted. Tho for.
mcr was full of tergivcrsations and
equivocations and meaningless gcner
altics, while tho latter was bold and
manly epitome of the necessities OF
the hour The foreign policy Of tho
administration was received and oriti
cised as vaciliating, undigni6cd and
unworthy the American people.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1872-07-03

The New York Post, one OF the
leading Radical journals Of the coun-
try, is evidently posted In affairs in
Pennsylvania, as the following from q
late issue fully indicates:
"For several years the State has
been ruled by set of politicians ul.
terly without character, regardless OF
any object except the division of the
spoils, and never besitating TO steal
the name of the Republican party in
order to commit any outrage short Of
open robbery. Tho ring has been
ruled by Mr.. Simon Cameron, and II
has been tolerated for the last few
years by the better and more consid'
ate part of the Republicans because
they thought tho sentiment OF an out
ragged public opinion would drive him
into retirement at the end of his pres.
ent torn in tho Senate, and leave them
free to purge the party of his satellites
But they have counted too confidently
in this case upon the ordinary respect
which honorable men have for public
opinion. Mr.. Cameron neither bushes
for tho manner in which he has pros.
tituted his party, nor hesitates to ask
the men he has betrayed to trust him
for another term. lie began this can.
vass by backing the State Convention
with the hirelings who were sworn TO
nominate his tools to fll the State
offices, and in return these men are
expected to bclp pack the Legislature
with men who will re elect Mr. Cam.
eron. Cam.
eron must go down, not because For
ney and Mcclure and Curtin oppose
him, but because he represents no prin'
ciplc and is inspired by mercenary
ambition. 1t is not necessary to the
preservation of any respectable party
that it should be called upon to sup
port bad men; in this case, indeed,
the preservation of tho Republican
party depends upon the rejection OF
men who have disgraced 1t, and who
have had more influence in driving
out Of it many of its earliest and most
consistent supporters than all other
causes combined.

The Spot on General HarfrdnT's
EsCufrhtOu.

Tho Pittsburg Leader, one Of the
Radical orga MS OF Allegheny county,
under the above caption, says:
The "Ring' organs have evidently
received the word of command, and
arc at length trying to make show
of earnestness in advocating the claims
Of llariranit for Governor. Tho Die
patch led of the other day in an edi.
torial, the central sentiment Of which
was, that after all it could not be shown
that Ilartranit had any finger in the
Evans steal. And now the Commercial
goes one better and asserts that the
Evans investigating committee "virtu.
ally" certified that lIartranft was a
true man, and was complicated in no
manner whatever with the Evans EN-.
broglio. Now this is going little too
far. The Evans Investigating Com.
mittce "virtually" asserted no such
thing as llartranft's entire innocence.
They simply asserted that there was
no direct evidence of his completely
with that disgraceful business, and
thon presented some indirect evidence
without making any remarks on it,
This indirect evidence was that Gen.
eral Hartranft, while Auditor. General
Of tho State, an officer whose special
,and particular duty II is TO guard tho
State Treasury from tho schemes OF
peculating rascals, accepted a largo
loan of money, without interest, from
tho most conspicuous pcculator, who
had fastened himself on the State, pis.

(llartranft used that money for years,
while Evans ncfarious operations were
going on right under his nose, 80 close
that he must have seen them, II he

Office; and that this model Auditor.
General never paid bnck this money
till a newspaper, the Philadelphia But-
icfiR, (bettcr informed, it would seem,
about State financial affairs than the
Auditor. General himself exposed the
Evans rascality--and aroused against

not be resisted. 1t was thcn, and not
till then, that Gen. Hartrahft went
and lifted the duo bill hc had pivon to
Evans for the nmount he had borrow.
cd-S7 800. This is tho indirect evi.
dcncc against Hartranil. IL has never
been explained. The persistent silence
of Hartranft's friends induces us to
believe that IL cannot be explained =
But until it be explained il rests as n
stain on Hartranfts official character,

The Great Hun,bmg Claim.

About one year ago, after Grant
was kicked out of st, Domingo, he
took the British Lion by tho neck
and told him he would "wring il" for
him if he did not at once pay the
Alabama consequential damages and
all other claims due this country. A
lot of political grannies met and sat
at Washington for several months,
then the body adjourned TO Geneva,
Switzerland, adding few moro to
the group. Grant meant war, so his
toadies proclaimed. But last week
the damages werc adjusted, and there
will be no war, no damages paid, and
nobody hurt. The dispatch announcing
the settlement says;
"Indircot claims ruled out-th arbitration tc
prooccd--both sides highly pleased with the de-
cision"
Was there ever moro d--d nonsense
hawked over the country or trailed
through the State Department than

A Spicy CAMPAIGN SPEEcH--Col
Mcclure, at Morton Hall, Wcst Phil
adelphia, on Wednesday night, made Q
speech on the political situation, local
State and National, which was spicy
campaign opening, aud one Of the most
terrible arraignmonts of the Grant ad
mnistration and tho corrupt Cameron
ring. He handled them without gloves
and especially went for the State and
local rings with the same eloquent
power and vim with which he exposed
the frauds in tho Fourth Senatorial
district last Fall. The speech, as Civ
en- in the Ecening Telegraph, occupies
some five columns and os it was lis
tened to by very largo number o
persons, and will be read by thousands
more, it will exercise most damaging
influence against the Presidential an(
State Republican tickets. Hisarraign
ment of the carpet-baggers, who came
fresh from tho South to attend The
Philadelphia rc-nominating coDven
tion, was peculiarly spicy, and his dis
section Of the platform which wai
adopted, with all its shallow and un

make deep impression upon all wht
