The PeansyIyanIa Canvass.

Though the unusual interest manifested
In the Ohio canvass has not been developed
In the Pennsylvania contest so far, yet the
battle Is becoming spirited and lively. The
issues are general rather than special,
though the financial question is receiving a
great deal OF attention In the western coun-
ties and mining districts. In Philadelphia
the usual preparations are being made
for corruptIng the ballot box. Aside
from this the state would undoubt-
eddy go democratic by handsome
majority. In Philadelphia, with a popula-
ton OF less than eight hundred thousand,
they have registered vote in the city OF one
hundred and seventy one thousand. This,
by investigation on the part OF the Demo-
Gratis, has been reduced over seven thousand
votes, that many fraudulent registrations
being discovered. In times past, It will be
remembered, so bare faced was the outrage
upon the ballot box there that even the per-
petrators were ashamed OF it. No where
else in the American republic have such
bold and opel frauds been attempted and
accomplished. The effort is now being made
in advance 10 stop IL, with what success
remains to be seen.
These continued frauds have brought
Philadelphia into a very unenvlable posi-
ton before the American people. The
municipal management OF the city has been
In keeping with the methods OF securing
the perpetuity of Republican Guile, and a
knowledge Of this fact has had much 10 do
with the hesitation on the part of Congress
and state Legislatures respecting liberal sp-
propriations for the Centennial Exhibition.
II any other city had been appropriate to
hold the exhibition, Philadelphia would not
have stood a ghost of chance
of having been selected as the place.
II it should yet prove failure
much of the fault will be properly laid to
that account, and II in the coming election
Hartranft secures a triumph again by
frauds, then the possibility of securing a
further APPROPRIATION for the Centennial
will be entirely disspated. II there Is fair
vote cast in Pittsburg and Philadelphia the
Democracy bid fair TO carry the state.

The correspondence OF the representative
of the Sentinel at the Philadelphia Centen-
NAL banquet, in another column, gives
graphic report OF matters interesting to all
who desire the success of the Centennial
exhibition, and the proper representation OF
Indiana's industrial interests. The delega-
ton from this city returned yesterday
morning, save Governor Hendricks, who
went direct from Philadelphia to Michigan
City to meet the committee OF inspection
visiting the Northern State Prison.

In explanation OF the appointment OF
Chandler as secretary of the interior, 1t is
given out that he had never been engaged In
fighting against rings or urging investiga-
tions. Grant thinks that he has had enough
OF that sort Of humbug In Brlstow and
Jewell, and he wants a man now who will
let things alone. Chandler says that he no
more thought of being appointed than going
to heaven in a chariot of fire like Elijah. His
surprise must have been very great, not
having very definite heavenly aspirations.

The Democratic club organized In this
city some months ago Is not what many
suppose, merely n campaign organization,
to have an ephemersl existence until some
specific object Is attained. On the contrary,
the design Is to make 1t a permanent organ
ization with sufficient capital TO provide all
the necessary appliances for thorough work
In advancing the interests of Democratic
party in the city and state. 1t has been
organized upon a proper basis and 1t COM
bines already many OF the wlsest and ablest
OF the party in the city and state. The In
1uence of such organizations can not be
over estimated when properly organized
and managed, affording nucleus for politi.
cal organization, and the dissemination OF
information that can only be secured and
made effective through some such channel.
There already appears most liberal spirit
in favor OF endowing the club, and
the finance committee that has this
matter in charge should receive hearty re-
Spouse and cordial encouragement. The
success of any party anywhere depends
much upon organization, and to have here
at the capital an institution through which
the purposes and matured plans of the
party may be carried out will DO Of meal
cuable advantage.

A Portrait.

The organ of Mr.. Morton says that he is
happy in the abuse OF the Sentinel, and that
this Is bringin him more prominently be-
fore the Union-loving people of the country.
The Sentinel admits that It's structures upon
Mr.. Morton's recent maneuvers have elected
some attention to his pretentions as a can
didste for the presidency, both East and
West, but il is not conscious that 1t has been
abusing MIR. Morton. Abuse, as we under
stand IL, as used by the Journal, implies that
something is attributed TO him that he does
not deserve. The Sentinel has said that he has
secured for himselJ an organ that is sound
ing mis- praises, and furthering his ambit-
ious aspirations Tor the presidency. The
Journal does not deny this, but quietly sub
mits to the charge. The Sentinel has said
that Mr.. Morton arranged the affair of the
soldiers reunion here last week, so that II
might result in his own personal
glorification and keep in the background
prominent soldiers that should have been
brought forward and made prominent
instead of being showed off the stand
that the great war governor might stand
alone in his glory. In this there was no
abuse, unless the telling of the truth abuses
him. Many a battle-scsrred veteran, officer
and private, went home from Indianapolis
humilialed and dis Eusted with the fact that
they had been brought here for the sole pur-

Dc. Hayes writes TO the New York Herald
a letter upon the voyage of the Pandora
He mentions tho fact that duriug the resi-
dence Of Captain Hall among the Esqui-
maux. previous to his voyage on the Polsris
he became satisfied from information re-
ceived frosz the natives that FrsukliG's
party had left certain documents and other
relics In stone cairn on the southwest coast
OF King williams Land. These have never
been obtained, and IL was principally. for
the purpose Of securing them
that the Pandora was sent out by the joint
efforts Of Lady Franklin, Captain Hall and
the New York Herald. In his letter, DIR.
Hayes takes the same view as that advanced
by che Sentinel last week, that the only way
to explore the regions IN which Sir John
Frsnklin's party wsslost, or for that matter,
sry portion of the frozen zone, Is by winter
ing in the Ice and sending out parties In the
spring with sleds, as Is the plan OF the Eng
lish expedition which has gone mp Smiths
Sound. The doctor also points out that
the words "west side of Prince OF Wales
Land" In the cable dispatch, should be
read east side. 1t will be remembered that
the Sentinel OF last Tuesday remarked the
lack OF intelligibility In this part OF the dis
patch.

If Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Grant are rivals
for the Republican nomination for the
presidency, as one would naturally con
-clude from the frequent disparagements of
Mr.. Grant in the Journal, we have in the
platform of the two distinguished persons
the spirit that is proposed in conducting the
Censennial canvass. Morton wishes to
run the Republican party on basis
of political hate, set forth in
lcls speech to the soldiers, and indeed in all
his speeches, and Mr.. Grant laid down In
his Des MoiDes speech his platform. making
religious persecution and prejudice par
Mobile irakrum. Either OF these platforms
woulA be In wretched contrast with the true
spirit that should prevail in our jubilee

A Word albanian.

There are thousands of Republicans who
disapprove the position of their party on the
financial question, and, under no circum-
stances, Will give their support to a party
carrying out the provisions of the resump-
ton bill. Their party leaders have discov-
cred this, and the organ of Mr.. Morton, re-
cognizing the situation, is preparing to take
a step backward, that Senator Sherman said
they would not take, in order TO preserve
the integrity of the party here. A word Of
caution is necessary in the premises. Mr..

The Journal is fscetious over little squib
In the local columns of the Sentinel, wherein
the reporter alluded to the state house as
an unsafe place to linger long by reason OF
its dilspidsted condition. This facetious-
ness led to the inquiry about the books in
the basement of the state house, and they
are found to be the famous Adjutant Gener-
ais Report, by which the state was swindled
out of vast amount of money for publish
ing material utterly worthless to anybody
under the heavens. The Journal reaped the
benefit, and the people bad to pay the bills.

The appointment of Chandler as secretary
OF the Interior suits the Morton organ. He
is OF the bloody shirt stripe and though 1t is
necessary to excuse sundry nameless faults
that will forever remain secrets OF the cloak
room, the "blood letting" record OF Chsnd-
Ter will cover multitude of sins. BY the
way this appointment looks as If Grant In

lated, which the treasurer can not hands
safely. Instead of sending silver abroad to
pay for imported goods, it has been kept
here and sold to the government. Hence
the vast accommodations Of silver, OF which
the article in the Journal speaks. Il says:
This whole silver business, As a step to-
wards specie payments, is worthy OF being
'classed with the fashion of printing a gilt
band on the fractional notes some years ago,
so that they might have a metallic ring.
The trade of the country could perhaps
afford to tolerate this silver craziness
If 1t was harmless; but the misfortune is
that the purchase of the silver for tho use
less and ornamental purpose Of substitute
ing It for something on which the gov
'ernment was doing all it promised, had the
effect OF driving gold our OF the country
making 1t take the place Of silver in the
exports. If the gold so misapplied had re-
NAMED here, one of tho principal causes
for the present distress aud embarrassments
in the foreign, and, indirectly, the whole
trade Of the country, would have been re-
moved. We do not hold Mr.. Bristow
wholly responsible for this, and have no
doubt that he will use the large influence of
the treasury with Congress to have legisla-
ton changed on the subject" Mr.. Morton
Is doubtless getting ready TO amend his bill
In Difference to the demand Of the West. AS
long rs he remains consistent In grasping the
ssnguinsry undergarment and waving it in

The bullionists of New York are weaken
ing after the smoke OF the Ohio battle has
cleared away. The injurious effects of the
resumption bill, and its utter inefficiency to
correct the present financial pressure, now
appear evident to them, but could not be
seen at all pending the Ohio contest. The
New York Sun calls Shermsn's bill ga bank
note imitation and sham contraction bill"
and says 1t must be repealed. The voice of
the people will cause Sherman himself, ere
long, to take more than one step backward
on the finances.

Vincenpes Reporter

The Vincenpes Reporter comes out
in a complimentary editorial, indors-
ing Judge G. Denny as the Re-
publican candidate for governor. He
would doubtless run well in Washing
ton county. II Is well to distribute the
prospective honor of nomination around
among as many as possible, as that will be
all that they can receive, the Democracy
having fully determined to elect their man
by about twenty thousand majority.
