CHARLES :. WOLFE, Of Union county,
no doubt entertains very correct notions
about the kind of men who ought to be
elected to office. but the lesson taught
him 10y his party in the Legislature last
winter ought to have convinced him
that any effort he might make to get his
old fashioned views endorsed by Re
publican state Convention would end IN
disastrous failure. Mr.. Wolfe was
delegate to Mr.. Quay's convention,
which met at Harrisburg on Wednesday
of last week. the temporary chairman
of which was Louis W. Hall, formerly
of Altoona. who is Bill Kemble's counsel
in the threatened criminal proceedings
against him in the Quarter Sessions Of
DauDhin county for his corrupt lobby
operations in favor Of the Pittsburg riot
losses bill. With Hall in the chair,
Quay on the floor, and Kemble' 5 ROSTERS,
headed by 'Lish Davis, Hilferty, and
others of that stripe rs delegates from
Philadelphia, Wolfe very soon discovered
that as a refOrmer and the advocate OF
'shonest men in Office he was like the
man who went down to Jericho and fell
amongst thieves. To give Quay and
Kemble a reminder that the ways and
means resOrted to at the last session to
carry the riot bill were still fresh in the
public mind, Mr.. W. offered the follow
ing plain and mobjectiOnabler resolution
Resolred, That in view of the developments
of corrupt practices in connection with the
riot bill'' in the last House we emphatically
Teaftirm that part Of the platform adopted by
the Republican State Convention at Ian
caster in 1875, and which was readOpted by
the Republican State Convention at Harris
burg in 1876, which demands ''honeSt 1nen
i'm Ottice-men with brains enough to know
dishonesty when they see it and courage
enough To fight it WheresOeyer they find it.
Kemble's friend, Chairman Hall, and
Kemble's Philadelphia crowd did not
intend that any resolution 50 personally
insulting as this should be entertained
much less be epermitted to pass a cOnyen-
tion that was owned by Matthew $
Quay and Don Cameron, and Hall de
cided that it was out of order, and
would not even permit it to be read. But
Z Wolfe persisted and after a fierce strug
| gle succeeded in forcing Hall to allow
/ the convention to hear it. That wa
: the end of the resolution, however, S,
! far as the convention was concerned. 1
went to the committee on resolutions
! where it was buried amidst the jibes an,
jeers of the committee: and the demanu
of two former Republican State Conven
tiOns. one in 1870 and the other in 1915
for ''hOnest men in office - was hOOte
ut and kicked out of a convention of tn
same party in 1879, with the added OF
fence of refusing to denomce the ''coI
rUpt practices" of kemble and others i
connection with the riot bill -
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1879-08-01

TIE latest news from Gen. Miles is
that he was encamped on Beaver Creek.
Montana. 1t is now denied that he is
anxious to get into a fight with the
Indians. his instructions being. it is said,
not to precipitate hostilities without be
ing compelled to do so, the purpose of
the expedition being to prevent the in
solent young Indian bucks from stop
ping the steamboats, on the upper Mis-
souri,, and from making free with other
peOple's property. It is very difficult to
find out just what Sitting Bull is doing,
what he proposes to do, or even where
he now is. While the War Department
regards him as undoubtedly hostile in
his purposes. the British authorities at
Ottawa, Canada, declare that he is on
the best of terms with the mounted
police force that is constantly in his i'm
mediate neighbOrhOod, and that his talk
indicates the reverse Of an intention to
make war on the settlers. If any of his
band are south of the border, the strong
presumption is that they are hunting
buffalo, and not white men. y few davs
will make the situation palmer ON the
plains.
