The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1875-06-04

We suppose that after the practical
experience Of the three gentlemen who
represented this county in the Lancas-
ter Convention, they will not be rash
enough TO deny that Simon Cameron
carries the Republican party of this
State in his breeches' pocket, or that it
moves obedient to his renorsclcss will.
To Republican outside Of Pennsylva-
MIA, it has long been an enigma how
man with the tainted reputation of
Cameron can dominate and control the
State organization of a powerful party.
Nevertheless i is the fact. ''Tis true,
and pity 'tis 'tis true" Republicans
like Samuel Henry, G.. 7. Roberts, and
Gen Jacob NJ Campbell, however
strongly they may favor the nomina-
ton for a State Office of bold and
fearlessleadei such as Butler b. Strang,
must abandon him if Cameron demands
the sacrifice, and gracefully step down
and out without further ceremony.
For them and those that believe with
item his imperious will is the iron bed
OF Procu3tes.

lT Is very plain that If there are no
degrees of guilt i'll the crime of theft,
there are degrees of meanness in il.
Several chiefs of the Sioux and other
Indians, including Red Cloud and
Spotted Tail, were at Washington last
week for the purpose of having a big
talk with the President and that bland
and chilc-like gentleman, Columbus
Delano, Secretary of tho Interior. in
reference To the sale to the government
of the Black Hills in Dakota. and also
to set forth the grievances which their
people suffer at the hands of the thiev-
ing agents with whom they are coin
PEELED to transact business. While
these noble red men of the forest were
at dinner the other day some unmiti-
gated curse entered their room and
stole eight shirts from the Minnecon-
jon band, 50 from Spotted Tail. So
from Swift Bear, Sl9 from Face, and
50 from Pawnee Killer. An Indian
thoroughly understands what it is to
be fleeced officially, but to be robbed
unoltclally Is one of the white mans
accomplishments which was never
dreamed OF III his untutored DhilOSO-
ply. The Minneconjonsat least would
have good case in law against the
landlord for the value of their shirts
whatever might be said about the loss
OF the money of the others. Webster's
dictionary does not contain the word
which would adequately express the
sublimity of meanness III a creature
who would permit his larcenious fingers
To freeze to the shirts and greenbacks
OF party of Indians who have already
sounded all the depths and shoals of
pale-faced plundering and rapacity.
The wretch who could steal shirts and
greenbacks from a chivairous. binh
and guileless Dakota Indian.
Would steal the gliding from an angels
wings.
And rob the palace Of the King of kings

Col. Mcclure. of the Philadelphia

Col Mcclure, of the Philadelphia.
Times, who was present at the Ian
caster Convention, and who generally
sees as far into the future of political
events as most men, speaks of the
nomination Of Henry Rawle for State
Treasurer, aiid the agency by which 1t
was brought about, in the following
pointed ami emphatic language:
"The nomination of Mr.. Rawle for Treas
urer was UartranfL's severest blow. 1t
was probably not so intended. but 1T VII!
grow in its dead weight until it must drag
the ticket into such a slough OF deSpond
that no average measure of Democratic
folly can rescue it. When Simon cameron
sits down to chvose candidate f"" :reas-
urer the people of Pennsy ylvania know well
what il means ; and when he decides upon
an amiable, blameless but unskilled and
pliable man, no one will be deceived as to
the purpose of the creating power of such
\ nominee. Without political antccedcnts.
~ experience OF r?lsi seTviceS tn CnInincnd
linn ia convent i,in for n most important
State Office, and unable 10 command half
score Of delegates on his own merits or by
his own efforts, it was natural that the
earnest men of the party, who fought its
battles when its victories were for princi-
ole and rot for plumber, should earnestly
protest and the fact that their protest
was as unheeded as the passing winds
taught them the abicct humiliation that
Repubicanism has ieaped as the fruits of
its modern leadership. That Mr.. Rawle
is an eminently respectable gentleman no
one questions but he was unthought OF
for the position until he was decided upon
by the Cameron power of the State, as the
man who would best serve the interests OF
those who mean to control and enjoy the
emoluments Of the public treasury ana
the fact that he brings good name to con-
secrate to such a domination will intensity
rather than soften the popular resentment
the arrogant subcrdination of the conven-
tion must provoke. Mr. Strang was fought
bitterly and blasphemed boldly on every
hand by the dependents of the masters of
the convention because he has dared TO
own himself, and refused to worship the
idols of political prostitution aud shame
and with him have fallen in this most un-
equal contest every man who dared to
cherish a conviction or express purpose
in opposition to the fostering corruption
that rules in our commanding political cir
clcs. The men who have gone to the front
ana received the wounds of the pretenderS
may bow passively To party discipline, but
the tens of thousands, whose earnest and
patriotic wishes they reflected, will be likely
to strike n revengeful blow that will give
to arbitrary and venal rules its just retribu-
tion.'

THE three most prominent figures
in the Radical farce enacted ut the
late Lancaster Convention we're John
Cessna, Harry White and William b.
Mann. The first named of this trium-
virate Cessna played the part of tenn
porary chairman the second (White)
that of permanent President, and the
third (Mann) nominated IIartranft,
preceding it with high sounding,
gushing culogium. This trio of Rad
ical Pennsylvania statesmen possess
many things in common. They are
set of about as completely played out
politicians as hang on the ragged
edges" of radicalism in this or any
other State. Cessna had become so
odious TO his party that lie was refused
a denomination last fall for Congress.
and it is within the figures TO say that
if he had been candidate the majority
against him would have been at least
one thousand greater than the l,191
which overwhelmed so respectable a
gentleman as s. s. Blair. The ire
prcssiblc, oflice-seeking White made
district for himself in order that he
might ventilate his ornamental. star
spangled be nner eloquencc before the
assembled wisdom of the nation. but
was consigned to the limbo of Radical
politicians by a majority against him
of 5lS, although the Republican can
didate for Lieutenant Governor re-
ceived a majority of S57 in the same
district. William b. Mann. who is the
head and front of the Philadelphia ring
and whose name has been identified
for the last ten years with all the
shameless frauds on the ballot-box in
that city, was ANONYMOUSLY defeated
for the Office of District Attorney last
November, while at the same election
the Republican State ticket had a ma.
jority of II, 963. These men thus po-
ltically crucified by their own people
who know them best, were all brought
to the front at Lancaster by the lead
ers of decaying party to do the fancy
work of the convention. 1t was a
most unhappy omen and bodies certain
disaster and defeat when shall we
three meet again 2"

THE Chairman of the Democratic

THE Chairman of the Democratic
County Committee was not mistaken,
a. the FOjce and Echo of last week
thinks lie was, when he stated in his
call for q meeting of said Committee.
on Monday of next week, that one of
its duties would be the selection of
three conferees to meet like cOnferees
from Blair county to elect a Senatorial
delegate TO the Democratic State Con
vention. 1t is true, as that paper
states, that the County Convention
last September elected ex-Sheriff Bon
acker, VIM. Linton and j. G. Hasson
Senatorial Conferees, but it was for
the purpose of attending a meeting of
cOnferees from Blair county 10 nOnij-
nate q candidate for State Senator
The matter was well understood at
the time, and we have no doubt the
three gentlemen named so regarded it
The only wonder is that when the
convention had its hand in it omitted
to provide for the election of Sena-
torial delegate to the State Convention
But having failed to do so, there ought
to he no difficulty about the matter
now. Our own opinion is that the
practice of the County Convention
eiecting delegates to a State Conven-
tion full year in advance of the time
is all wrong. and that the custom
would be more honored in the breach
than in the observance The next
County Convention ought to ignore
it and leave the delegate business 20 be
determined next year

GRANT has felt the blow aimed at
him by the Lancaster Convention. and
has partially unloaded his third term
pretensions. In an evasive and self
laudatory letter addressed to Harry
White, the distinguished President of
the Convention, he SAYS he is not and
never has been n candidate for a third
term, and that he would not accent a
nomination if it were rendered. unless
At should come under such circulastaD-
ces as to make II an impe1dtiUe dltty-
circumstances not likely to arise" If
Grant has never cherished any aspira
tlons for third term, then some Of the
leading Republican papers throughout
the country have done some most
gorgeous lying, and especially his
personal organ ut Washington. edited
by that Christian statesman. James
Harlan. His seeming disclaimer car
RED with 1T mental reservation de-
pending for its exercise or ''an inner
atlve duty" of which he himself of
course is to be the Judge In addition
to this, he strikes back at the conyen-
tiOn when he tells it that "the people
cannot be restricted in their choice bv
resolution, further than they are now
restricted as to age, nativity, etc.v
This letter will rot stop the agitation
OF the third term question, nor was it
honestly intended that it should. All
lts pi ietences, therefore, only confirm
the belief that its author is as much a
candidate now as be notoriously has
been during the last twelve months.

Or the forhj-sjr delegates from
Philadelphia to Simon Cameron's
Lancaster convention, Jorty,fce were
ice-ho'dcrs and active members OF
the different corrupt rings which are
plundering the taxpayers OF that
misgoverned city. When such men
speak foI the virtue and intelligence of
the Republican party in the metropolis
of the State, political honesty is at Il
heavy discount AMI political villainy
commands a high premium.

A Want Stumbled.

The American mind is active. 1t has given us
books Of fiction for the sentimentaist, learned
books for the scholar and professional student, but
few books for the people. A book for the
people must relate to a subject of universal
interest. Such a subject is the physical man

attachments OF its author-Dr. II. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, n. Y.,-and the advantages derived by
him from an extensive practice, would alone in

are not the merits for which it claims our at en-
