Little Georgia was Of an unusually sweet

placed a cslla lilly in her chair at school, the

Pennsvlvania'S Clans.

1t is well, probably, that pennsylvania
has several clans; for they promise the peo-
ple protection from the excessive tyranny
OF any one of them. A prominent Pennsyl-
yania Republican has come to Washington
TO demonstrate against the appointment OF
Governor HARTRANFT to be Secretary OF War
in place OF Secretary MCCRAEY. who may
possibly in December next take the place
OF Judge DrLL0N, the United States cir
cult Judge in Iowa. The distinguished
PENNSYLVANIA represents that the ma.
jority OF the Republican party in his
State is opposed to Governor HARTEANFT
because he is a supporter Of SHERMAN for
President, and the majority aforesaid is de-
cidcdly opposed to Mr.. Secretary SHERMAN.
We suspect that all this is erroneous.
The remous!rance more likely comes from
the hostility OF CAMERON to HARTRaAFT. 1t
is not so certain that Pennsylvania dcci-
dedly opposes Mr.. SHERMAN for President.
There are reasons for supposing that Penn
sylyania has pretty strong following for
MIR. SHERMAN. Among other things there
has recently been established by marriage
a close relation between the CAMERON and
SHERMAN families. We rather think CANE
RON will he for HERMAN, while there should
be no doubt that the opposition to HART
RANFT comes from the CAMER0Ns, who are
always against him. Nevertheless, as we
say above, it is all the better for Pennsylva-
mia that she has discords amongst her clans.
