THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD,
our NATIONS BEST SAFEGUARD,
FOR PRESIDENT!
Subject to the Decision OF the
st, Louis Convention.

OUR NATIONS BEST SAFEGUARD.
Every good citizen who has the honor
and welfare Of the Nation at heart must
deeply deplors the d~adfal disclosures
which have been made and substantiated
in many instances All who feel pride
in their country and its institutions. must
shrink back in dismay at the announce
ment that men OF both the great political
parties Of the country have been found to
b. ssriously implicated. Both the accusers
and accused have been found wanting in
honesty. Men who have heretofore been
regarded as honorable members of society
have had their characters for honor and
veracity questioned to such an extent that
they have been placed in most unenvia-
bic position. Is there no remedy for this
gross corruption and fraud in high places?
ID there no measure of reform, no system
Of public relief, no radical policy for Of
Acisl puri6catlou? ...
The pure character OF public men is the
only safsgusrd Ola nation, as has been
ms1s manifest in the catalogue Of sins
which have been laid at the doors Of the
Presidential Mansion, and at those Of all
ths Government Departments. From the
recent exposures Of the base corruption OF
Govsrnmeat officials, it is evident that the
oaly safeguard Of the Republic is in the
viftde, honor and iategrl.y Of its officers. Il
istherefore ferven.ly to he prayed for, that
both Of the great political parties OF ths
country, may be able to selec. from the
many worthy men who exist in their lines
such candidate as will reflect honor upot
The great office to which he is chosen anc
Who will be u credit to the party which
may fortunately elect their candidate
The coming President ial campaign promi
80 to excsll all others in bitter pssona
vitupsration, abuse and sculrility, An,
from the present indications, unless pur
men ars selected as standard bearers, VI
may expect such a catalogue Of sin
trmnped up against them, ~ to make tn
oampaign intensely bitter aud disgraceful
"a change Of rulers is most essential, an
upon the purity Of the men who are 10 6l
the places Of the present impure incuul
benss, depends the salvation of our counsr.
and its free institutions. The perpe;nit
Of our free institutions depends upon tn
purity ofoticisl character. Honest Go,

From tho Philadelphia Transcript
We were last week RECALLED with
another new Democratic departure at
Lancaster. In State Convention, the
rank and file, and odds and ends OF the
discounted and demoralized Democracy
gathered in the old-fashioned way, and
went to work vigorously to map out their
plans for the Presidential campaign. OF
course tho first thing that was done was
the selection Of Rebel sympathizer as
President Of tho body, and, Of course,
Buckalew and that stripe OF patriots
found ready recognition. No one could
have imagined different course, for
Pennsylvania Democracy would be weak.
er than water without tho faint OF trait
ors and treason. It's consistency in this
respect is indisputable, for which reason
the party is dragglcd with disaster and
defeat. The Lancaster business was but
a repetition Of tho old story, and it will
bring about the same old result.
There were one or two side scenes that
evoked more than usual interest, the in.
PRODUCTION OF the personal struggle oil
Wallace and Randall being prominent
OF course, the country Democracy came

the country clowns in the Legislature are

dry bones OF all the old fossils shook

that il the whole Democracy Of Philadtl-

the State would DO "safe" forever in the

ever, is in the ealing.
A significant feature Of the Convention
was that, for tho first time in genera

A COLONIAL COURT IN VIRGINIA.
The Centennial enthusiasm has reached
the ancient and honorable families OF
Virginia, and recently vice.royal court,
as In the days OF Lord BotetOurt, was
held at the theatre in Richmond. The
ladies wore heavy brocades, court trains,
puffed hair, and sparkled with jewels.
The gentlemen appeared in cut-away
coats, low vests, rutlled shirts, buckles,
swords, etc. From 1900 to 1900 people
were present. Col r. B. Berkeley, seated
on throne, represented Lord Botetourt.
The menuet do Ia cour was danced, and a
series Of tablanx given; music was dis
coursed, and original poems were read.
The court was remarkable for the number
OF people attending it who were directly
descended from the F. F. VS. OF 100
years ago. Among these were Mrs Col
Lewis W. Washington, grcat'grreat-
niece Of Washington; Miss Emma Cham
berlayne, descended directly from Prcsi'
dent Madison; Miss Sallie Aylett, whose
great-great.grandmother was daughter
Of Patrick Henry; George Washington
Burnett, great.great-nephew Of both Cen
and Mrs. Washington; Gen. Harry Heth'
