Mr.. Peter was in Cumberl and sew
eral days during the past week. He
made speeches Monday and Tuesday
nights at Mt. Savage and Barton, to
small, indifferent and unapprecia-
tive audiences. The absolute neces-
sity for defeating the ring has got
such full possession of the Demo
cratic mind that the contest, so far as
Peter is concerned, is altogether de-
void of interest. Peter might make
it interesting if he were to withdraw
Old Democrat.

What the Country win Insist Upon.

What the Country viii Insist UpOn.
Three months ago the Republican
party believed itself doomed to de-
feat to-day its shreWdest chiefs be-
lieve victory in their grasp; the best
proof Of which is that they no lon
ger talk of General Grant as their
candidate in 1880. To a great extent
the folly of the Democrats in surren-
dering so generally to the initiation
craze is the cause Of this change; to
which, however, must be added the
recent brutal interference with the
Republican canvass in South Carroll
ma. The Republican leaders believe
that in the long run-that is to saw,
in the next two years-the people of
the United States will oppose infla,
ton and reputation, and that they
will insist upon equal liberty of
speech and of political action for all
men everywhere. We believe they
are right. We believe that the ma
jority Of the American people will
always bitterly resent any interior
ence with the equal political rights
of all classes; and that while such
gross abuses Of the Federal power as
were the !ule under General Grant
may no longer be tolerated, no party
whose members attempt to prevent
the other from the peaceable exercise
of their political rights will be en-
trusted with the Presidency -Ne,0

After some rather close study of
our New York and Pennsylvania ex-
changes, representing both political
parties, during the last few days, we
think that the signs of the times are
showing an Improvement in the Re
publican prospects in these States.
With regard to New York it seems
to be generally conceded that the
Republicans are booked to make a
considerable gain on Congressman.
OF the thirty-three members of the
delegation they now hold seventeen,
and are not likely to lose any. Then
they are tolerably sure to regain two
that were thrown away in 1876
through local feuds that are now
healed, and their chances are good
for three, or perhaps four, more.
Even Mr.. Dana comedies them three
in the Sun, and the Times talks OF
four. The Democratic side has been
weakened by the withdrawal of the
Disguised Mr.. Potter, and the bad
character of the Tammany nomina-
tons in New York city. Tammany
has dropped its one creditable repre-
sentative, Mr.. Abraham S. Hewitt,
and has substituted for him an I'M
known man. The World makes no
secret Of its disapproval of the can
didates whom Kelly has set up, and
it is evident that there is a tremen-
dOuS influence gathering in oppoSi-
ton tC them.
As to Pennsylvania the gloomy
prospects of the Democrats are sutfi-
GENTLY demonstrated by the fact that
on Sunday a conference of party
leaders was held in Philadelphia to
consider the situation. A PROPOSE
ton was made to Mr.. Devices, chair
man of the National Party Commit
tee, for union against the Republi-
cans, but he rejected the offer, an
sWering that the Nationals would
fight their own battles alone. Their
hope is to secure the balance of power
in the Legislature, and thus control
the election of United States Senator.
This action of the Democratic man
ayers may be construed to mean that
they look for the National movement
to draw principally upon the Demo
cratic party for its strength, thus
rObbing it of much needed votes, and
leaving the Republicans virtually
untouched. 1t appears further that
the Democrats have about concluded
that the chances for eIecting their
candidate for Governor are hopeless,
and that they will concentrate their
efforts upon the Congressional dis.
tricts and attack Senator Cameron.
This condition of affairs is, of course,
encouraging to the Republicans, who
bid fair to help their present proper
ton of seventeen out of the twenty.
seven G Cngressmen, and perhaps tC
gain one or two.-Bdlto. american
