Democratic State Ticket.
FOR TREASURER,
HON. DANIEL q. BARR,
OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY.
"A STATE ISSUE.

The issue in this state between the
Democratic and Republican parties is
clearly defined and cannot be mistaken
or misunderstood. The Democratic
state convention denounced in it's plat.
form the bold and wicked attempt of
ssl1u ruus prECTu It's TICKET De-
fore the people as the representative of
the public sentiment in favor of official
integrity and purity. On the other
hand the Republican state convention
studiousIy refrained from making any
declaration on this important subject
and refused to listen to Mr.. Wolfe
when he asked to be heard in favor of
his resolution demanding that honest
men should be placed in Office. Thus
the two parties occupy positions COM
pletely antagonistic to each other on
the question Of personal integrity in
public Office. It may seem incredible
that any political convention should e.
vince so little regard for public opinion
as to reject so proper and patriotic a
proposition as that of Mr.. Wolfe IN fa-
yor of ''honest men in Office" But
when it is remembered that the Repub.
lican managers in this state rely impli-
city on their former majority to carry
their ticket no matter what they may
do or leave undone, it is not so strange
that they felt entirely safe in discard
ing the ideas and suggestions Of the re-
formers in their party. A long and
uninterrupted enjoyment of political
power has made them arrogant and in
tolerant and they have come at last to
believe that all that is necessary to in
sure their continued success is to hold
a state convention for the ratification
of the programme which they have
previously prepared. There is yet an
other reas on why theRepublican mana.
gers would not permit their state con-
vtntion to place the party on record as
against the legislative corruptlons of
last winter and as in favor of the cleo
tion of honest men to Office, and that is
simply this: such action by the conven-
tion would haYe been regarded by the
public as a condemnation of some of
the managers themselves. Indeed eV-
cry body knows that Mr., Wolfe's reso-
LUTON failed because it reflected upon |
tie conduct of certain Republican lea
ders whom the patty dared not offend.
Since, therefore, the Republican party |
in its state convention deliberately re-
jected resolution favoring honesty in
public Office, and rejected that resolu-
tion out of abject fear Of the displeas-
ure of certain persons connected with
the lobby, it will not be difficult for the
people of Pennsylvania to decide which
tick ct ought to receive the support Of
men who respect themselves and love
the honor and welfare Of their state
Patriot.

He wasn't a Sherman Man.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 12.-Secr etary
Sherman's hand is still being felt a.
mong the officeholders of the South,
who are expected either to support him
for the Presidency or get QUO of office.
The last case is that of Col. John G.
BrownIow, son Of Parson Brownlow,
who has just been removed from the
Office Of Revenue Agent in Tennessee
because he is Grant man. Brownlow
is now here and Says he is for Grant all
the time, but that his personal prefer
ence did not prevent him from doing
his duty as revenue officer.

A MoLLIE's CONFESSION.
SUNDURY, Aug. 15.-There appear

SUNBURY, Aug. 15.-There appears
TO ,be 10 end to the Mollie Maguires.
Two more,-McManus and O'Neill-
are to be executed in October. and nine
fresh arrests viii he made inside of an
other month. 1t was always said by
the knowing ones that O'Neil would
''squeel" rather than die game. He is
a young man and rather silly from a
wound in the head made by piece of
coal when boy. When arrested he
declared his innocence, but now it ap-
pears that he has unbosomed himself
and confessed to the murder of Hesser,
tie night watchmsn ut Hickory Swamp
,Coiliely, near ShamoHln. 1t was on
the night of Dec. 10, 1874, that band
of MollieS beat the old man to death.
McManus aud 9'Netl were tried and
convicted. The latter has confessed
that nine others are equally guilty with
him. Two are still in the coal regions
and the others are in the west. Their
residences are known to the police.
When Dennis +. Canning was pardon
ed out of Jail last week it was said that
he Was to be used on the witness. stand
in the future. He will be one of the
chief witnesses against the men who
| are to Oe arrested for HeSSer'S murder.
McManus and O'Neill's death warrants
were read to them yesterday morning.
McManus smiled when he was told by
the Sheriff that he was to be hanged in
October. He is about fourty years Of
age, with hair rs white as snow. He
is not very communicative. When
O'Neill was informed of the object of
the Sheriff's visit he sniveled like q
child. Suddenly he grew furious and
declared that Governor Hoyt had lied,
and that he promised not to sign the
warrants until September.

SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.
An Elk &c vernon threatens to shoot
n Senator.

PROVIDENCE r.. l., AaGgust GA
scandal in which the names-of Senators
Conkling and Sprague were freely used
was circulated through the city TODAY
as well as ut Narragansett Pier and vi
cinity. 1t was rumored that the Sena-
tors had engaged in a bitter quarrel,
resulting in the use 'of a shotgun by
Senator Spregue, who was enraged by
reason 6f.belief that Conkling and Mrs.
Spregue had been intimate.
1t is certain that eX-Gov. ,Sprague
has made frequent illusions to his
friends of the intimacy between Sena-
tor Conkling and Mrs. Sprague, and
that he has upon more than one occa-
sion made threats against Mr.. Conk-
ling, referring with greet bitterness to
the fact that Senator Conkling was a
constant guest at his wife's residence
near Washington during his own alb
sence thut he was frequently seen
with her driving about the country
ryadsnear that city, and was her at
tendant at almost every public gather
ing in or about Washington, while he,
the husband, was compelled by the
,oxigencies Of his business to remain
during the greater part Of theyea in
Providence or in his mills at Cranston.
During Gov. Sprague's absence last
week from NarraganSett Pier Senator
Conkling came to the Spraguemansion.
He remained there a visitor, and was
on the piazza the next evening conver-
sing with some ladies when Sprague
came home from days absence with
a loaded gun in his hand. He drove to
the rear Of the house, which is about a
mile and half from the pier, apd came
through the house in somewhat excl
tedcondition. He got out to the piaz-
"a, where he found Senator Conkling
conversing with Mrs. Sprague, who
was at window. Gov. Sprague then
said addressing Senator Conkling,
''are you armed sir ?'' And Conkling
replied, mo 1 am not." 'Then," said
Ex-Governor Sprague, 81 give you five
minutes to get off these premises. If
you are not away l will fire at you. "
Ex-Gov. Sprague is said then to have
made use Of some further eXasperating
language. Senator Conkling, seeming
much surprised, but remembering lie
was under Sprague'S roof, rose and
walked few steps away, while Mrs.
Sprague came out of the house and
stood between them. Elk Gov. Sprague
stood looking at Senator Conkling
while carriage drove up which had
been ordered to take Mrs. Sprague fol
a drive. When Mr. s. Sprague found
that Ex Governor Sprague was aPpar
emily determined on an unpleasant
scene, she called for her hat and shawl
which Mrs. Martin a friend anC
In the house at the time as guests
were Mr.. and Mrs. Martin, and Mis-:

Senator Conkling. The latter soon lef
the house and went over to the pier
but was followed by Sprague, where
there was an exciting and threatening
colloquy between the two outside o.
the most public spot on the whole place
Meantime Mrs. Sprague has left tx
place, and gossip is busy with the un-
happy relations which have long existed
between her and her husband.

some weeks ago. He fancied that be-

"Haman" that it was his duty to as

tic over 100 feet high. Now, children,
