THE POLITICAL PROSPECT II
PENNSYIVANIA

1t is no lOnger-''as goes Pennsylva-
MA so goes the Union" The Key
stone State has stepped to the rear, and
the heavy skirmishing that ushers in
the Presidential campaign Will open on
Ohio soil. The State Democratic
Convention meets at Erie on
the 9th of September, and
the question Of all questions now agita-
ted is whether Pennsylvania Will adopt
the platform Of the Ohio Democracy.
1t is evident that the party is much di-
vided on the currency, but there seems
TO be no lack Of confidence that they
will carry the State.
Gov. Hartranft, who has been re-
nominated, is materially weaker than
when he went into Office, the UnPopu-
latity Of his administration having
alienated thousands of Republican
voters. Ex-Gov. Bigler, an exception
ally strong man, Will probably be placed
in the field against him. Pen
nypacker, the Prohibition candidate
an uncle, by the way, of our post CON-
mandant-hopes to poll at least $1,000
votes, and thus cripple Hartranft, who
has given mortal offense to the temper
ance element by his approval of the
bill repeating toe local option law.
Early next month, what is known as
the Paper Money Party, viii hold
mass-meeting IN Philadelphia, which
Will be addressed by Hon. George H.
Pendleton, of Ohio; Senator Gordon,
Of Georgia; Gen. Ewing, Of Ohio, and
Hon. William ID. Kelley.

THE STATE OF THE COTTON
TRADE

While the wheat market is "boom-
ing," cotton manifests more depression
than at any time within the past two
months. Notwithstanding the fact
that our crop for the year Just ending
has been fully 100000 bales less than
the preceding one, the stock of Ameri-
can cotton at Liverpool Is 10000 bales
larger than it was a year ago, and the
Liverpool price yesterday was SIS
l6d., against Sd in 1874.
The LirerpooI Economist says
that the market at Manchester is fat,
that stocks are accumulating and that
the raw material is IN but little demand
at Liverpool. England wants our
wheat, for, however dull trade may be-
come, her people must have bread to
eat; but as to cotton the case Is quite
different. India is competing with her
cotton manufacturers on 50 formidable
a scale as to drive them almost alto.
gether out Of the market there and IN
China. This was the prime cause of
the recent heavy failures in London,
Liverpool and Manchester.

MRS. TILTON AGAIN.
What is said About the Probability Of
Divorce Proceedings.
Nv Nnrk SIM .ImIv 10

The WOmdH's journal in a recent arti-
Gle, prOfsssed TO be accurately informed
that Mrs. TiltOn expected very soon TO be
gin divorce proceedings against her hus-
band. Mr.. Ira B. Wheeler, her counsel,
said ON Saturday that he knew Of no such
intention On her part. In the past year
every phase of the scandal had come up for
consideration, the matter Of divorce pro-
ceedings among other things. As Mrs.
TiltOn had forgiven her husbands slleged
faults, and had lived with him afteTward,
there would be no possibility Of her being
able 10 obtain divorce. The same diff
Guilty stands in the way Of a similar action
by Mr.. TiltOn.
Mrs. TiltOn has been suffering from a
sore eye caused by a coal cinder which
burned her in a recent trip to MOntclair.
Her son Ralph is with her. Her children,
Alice and Carroll, are at the Gunnery in
Washington, Conn. She is still under the
support Of Mr.. Beecher's friends.

IS THIS DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE

rs THIS DEMOCRATIC DOCiklNEE
In Pennsylvania, the Democratic Legislative
csucus nominated Wallace for United States
Senator. Some Democrats were not present
in the caucus, and there was talk OF boit'
Thereupon the Philadelphia Evening Chronicle,
Democrats organ, talked to such Democrats
as were suspected OF disposition to kick
AGAINST the caucus in the following arrogant
style
We hear ugly rumors from the state capital
10 the effect that coalition has been entered
into. or ut least attempted, between certain
Democratic aspirants for the United States
Senatorship and Republican ring managers
looking TO the transfer OF the hepubllcan iegis-
latiye vote to the support OF one or these dis-
apr )inted gentlemen, which in connection
WITH tlree or four dissatisfied members OF the
Senate and House, professed Democrats, it is
hoped will defeat Mr.. Wallace. We can scarcely
believe that any real foundation exists for
this rumored treason. 1t is hardly possible
that any Democrat will he base enough to be-
tray the party at this important iuncture.
One thing is certain, and that is that the
Democratic party or the State Is IN no mood to
qnetly submit to any tamperlng process at
Harrisburg. No matter what individual opmions
or preferences Democrats may have enter
tanned previous to the caucus nomination, so
unanimously accorded Nj. Wallace, that action
nded all controversy, and any attempt to
nullify OF defeat ITS action Is high treason
against the party, as well as tho abandonment
OF personal honor on the part OF those engaged
III the plot. Past services and brilliant records
will not avail to shield from popular wrath the
man or men guilty Of conniving at or par
ticipating IN any arrangement whereby the OK
pressed will of the democracy OF Pennsylvania
in its choice for Senator may be defeated.
Nor will it be safe, in physical sense, for any
member Of the Legislature to fail to do his
whole duty in the present emergency. This
may as we'll be understood in advance, and the
responsibilities Of the situation fully accepted.
To this the Day, another Democratic journal,
added story OF how, on a former occasion,
Democrat was suspected OF an intention to
vote for Cameron instead OF Buckalew but he
dare not do it. II says:
The sword OF Damocles, or something
worse, was hanging over him, and il he had
SAID Cameron instead of Buckalew when his
name was called, the deadly instrument would,
doubtless, have dropped upon his devoted
head. The boys were about and they wouldn't
have any 'shenanagin,' if that's the way to
spell it, Possibly they will DO about again tins
year. ut any rate, IL any OF the Democratic
members bolt we shall not envy them, either
as to their physical comfort or moral rep
utation."
Vice talk this, in a free country.
