success in his presidential ambition and
week ago he had good reason for counting
with absolute certainty upon its vote 10
the national convention. Now there is

exception of Senator Morton, who has not
a better pros, ect of obtaining its powerful
support Pennsylvania, the politicians say,
has 30 use for man who insists upon
dragging in the skeleton OF the rebellion
at the centennial festival OF peace and
good will about to be held within her Dor
ders. The lack Ct statemanship in the
ex-speaker speech is remarked on all
hands. but what surprises his old friends
here the most is his sudden blindness to
popular sentiment. He has always been
regarded as remarkably sagacluus politi
clan who, while he lacked the great quail
es which enable men to lead public opin
ion, was far sighted enough to see its drift
and place himself in the current and not
across it.
People who thought they knew him
thoroughly and could predict his action in
| any event now ask each other If he has
become deueDted. He has obviously
quite lost his balance 1t anything in our
current nolitics is as clear as the MONDAY
sun, it is that al, sections desire to bury

Blaine tries to destroy tito gain personal
end His chance of reaching the goal Of
the presidency, toward which Re has toiled
tor many years, was better than that Of
any of his rivals, bus he has nearly de-
stroyed it by single act His friends
here are greatly chagrined, and cannot
understand now they could have SO mis-
Judged the man heretofore. As far as
Pennsylvania is concerned, Mr. Baine's
name must be stricken from the roll OF
presidential candidates The vote Of this

be given to Secretary Bristow after the

Indian summer.

This halcyon period of our autumn
will always in some way be associated
with the Indian. 1t is red and yellow
and dusky like him. The smoke of
his campfire seems again in the air.
The memory Of him pe'vades the
woods. His plumes and moccasins
and blanket of skins form just the
costume the season demands. 1t was
doubtless his chosen period. The
gods smiled upon him then if ever.
The time of the chase, the season of
the buck and the doe, and of the rip
ening of all forest fruits; the time
when all men are incipient hunters,
when the first frosts have given pun
gency to the air, when to be abroad
on the hills or in the woods is de-
light that both old and young feel,-if
the red aborigine ever had his summer
of fullness and contentment, it mu st
have been at this season, and it fifty

Grants Reconstruction Policy.
This has consisted Of depriving the
people of the right of self-gevernment,
interfering with troops to carry cleo
HSIlIyHE fiGns fer the The Republican party and
expressed at the polls when the YER
dict was unfavorable to the rule of ig-
norance and corruption. The public
debt of nearly all the reconstructed
States was comparatively small at the
end of the war under negro and car
pet.hag rule it was rolled up TO an ag-
grega,e of over One Hundred and
Ninety.fOur Million Dollars, while
the taxation for local purposes has Of
ten amounted practically to confsca-
ton. An immense number OF farms,
as we'll as large tracts of unimprcved
lands, have been seized aud sold by
the Sheriffs to satisfy the insatiate
greed of the plunderers who have
represented Grants Administration in
the South, and who have succeeded in
impoverishing the owners OF vast
portions of the most productive terri
tory in America, thus running the best
market for Northern manufactures
that there is in the world. The pres
ent policy of Grant and the men who
arc managing the campaign for Hayes
is to rekindle the sectional animosities
which are dying out both North and
South to incite race disturbances,
disorganize labor, and put those of
the Southern people who have re-
deemed themselves from the rule of
the carpet.baggers back into territcr r..

ruin. Of course the success of this
policy would be disastrous to the

troll the Republican party, and who
would control Hayes should he be elect
ed, care nothing for that. 1t is their
own interests they are looking after,
and as prominent Republican Sena-
tor has expressed it, they believe that
there are tive years more of good
stealing" yet in the South.
These are few of the most coll

where he died surrounded by members of
his family and cherished friends who now
lament their great loss. Mr.. Benedict
was Tor many years Que Of the most pro.
minent men Of his county. He was a
gentleman Of more than ordinary intel
lectual gifts had received in youth q
good, practical New England education I;
was endowed with q large share of sound
common sense. and hence a person Of 10.

lived. No one was more highly respect.

never questioned by any one. He was
honest in all his dealings and relations
with his fellow men, and was trusted i'm.
plicitly by everybody. He enjoyed q
wide acquaintance in his own and neigh.
boring counties. and the love and confidence
of all. In his death the community sus.
tains a great loss,and it will be long before
it is forgotten. During bis last illness Mr..
