Dismayed and at a Disadvantages.

Mr.. Wolfe was dismaycd and placed at a
great disadvantage when the delegation
from Union (his own county,, named
Grant members of the committees on or
ganization and resolutions. "Mr. Chair
man." said he, there has been no meet
ing and these people describing a few
about him have no right to submit these
names" Nevertheless, one answered.
1--WE met and agreed "But was not
notified" said Mr. Wolfe. "No." was
the reply" You were training with the
other house, The laugh was turned
against Mr.. Wolfe.

1t will crafty the organs to be assured
that Senator Cameron's convention is in
favor of ''the perfect security of free
speech and free press" This is not meant
as a rebuke to Judge Patterson. 1t is a
noble assertion of the rural editors right
to support Blaine.

An Empty Victory.

1t was nominal victory for Cameron,
simply because it saved him from absolute
defeat but it gave him the shadow while
it withheld the substance. 1t was the de-
feat Of Grant, for it stamped the Grant
instructions with emptiness. There is
but one judgment among dispassionate
men here this evening, and that is that
the Pennsylvania convention has made
Grants nomination impossible. There
are those who are not yet willing to con-
fess it.in publicity, but they deceive neither
themselves nor Others

IT will be seen that both the delegates
to the national convention from this
county are from the upper end. Lancas-
ter city and the lower district are
slighted. The Bull Ring does not get it's
majOrities in this section.

Talk Is cheap.

Harrisburg Dispatch.
The struggle of the Blaine element is
very vigorously conducted, and the
speeches were listened to by the Cameron
people, who simply said: "When they
get through talking we will vote them
down."

A Happy Organ.

At first sight it might seem that both
wings of the Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania had reason to be satisfied with the
results of yesterdays convention.

Why They Win.

General kOOntZ made the most telling
yesterday when he referred to the incOn-
SiStency of the men who now ask for
Il third term endorsement. while the same
men had passed the anti-third-term rcso-
lutiOns of 1915 and 1876: and the men
who now demand the unit rule had
violated that rule in 1865. The most re-
markable thing about the Cameron dom
ination in Pennsylvania and its almost
unbroken tenure of control over its party
is the success with which it appeals to
the party spirit and the pride of political
organization. whenever its purposes are
to be served in the election of the party
candidates. Every time that the Cameron
faction succeed in controlling state or To-
cal conventions---aSt they succeeded yeSter-
day, by packing them against the will of
the Republican maSscS-nO matter how
disreputablc nor improper their nomina-
tions are. they invoke the aid of the
offended and injured majority, On the
ground that a common party interest de-
mands the united support of the g regu-
lar" ticket and an endorsement of the
acts of a regular > convention. And
they generally get it. So that expert
ence has taught them that by whatever
means they control the party machine
they can safely depend Oh their oppo-
nents' help to ratify its DEGREES.
Year after year here, in other cOun-
ties, in the state and in national politics.
we have seen the anti-CamerOn wing
submit themselves to the yoke, until this
year the other side felt encouraged to
perpetrate the most shameless imposition
on the popular will and the most fragrant
majority of the popular rights. Without
the Philadelphia, Allegheny and Lam
caster delegates yesterday, Cameron
would have been pOwerless and yet had
the Republican voters chosen the dele
gates in these counties Cameron would
not have had a quarter of them. SO it
goes in local affairs and some mysterious
obligation of party fealty assures the
Camerons, every time. that that their op-
ponents will in the end he their cats
paws.
That this Obligation is not considered
'itclprocal, might easily be demonstrated.
The Cameron wing rarely exert them
selves to elect Republican nominees who
are distasteful to them, and do not scru-
pie any time to sell out Republicans
whose election they do not desire. They
were glad to nominate PassmOre when
they knew he would be defeated they
refuse to nominate him when they think
he could be elected. They are for the
unit rule when it suits them and against
it when it hurts. They are for a third
term when they have bargain to their
advantage; they are against it when they
were in the market. They run the Re
publican party as they please, and they
will do it SO long as their opponents teach
them that they can do as they please.

THERE is nothing particularly new in
the exposure of the rottenness of the Re-
publican party in Lancaster county that
has been made in the Furniss-Breneman
case. The testimony that was given
proves an abuse of the Office of county
treasurer in the service of corrupt pol
ltlcal ring operating for corrupt political
purposes, and that all engaged in
1t were tarred with the same stick.
Had the lOquaciOus plaintiff not been
stopped in his interesting revelations
by Judge Patterson, he would only have
told what has long been known. that
Sheriff Breneman and Register Ross each
paid the Sensenig -Furniss combination
$4,000 for securing their nominations and
that in dividing the profits of that pool
Furniss was skinned by his wicked
partners. But as these officials have not
been the only ones elected by such means
and who took the solemn oath of office
to the contrary, the revelations in this
case form only one chapter in long
story that will keep for future telling
when it will not be interrupted by Objec-
tiOn of the counsel nor by ruling of the
court.
THERE is Il vacancy on the list Of Re-
publican electors for this district because
of disagreement among the Bull Ring
politicians. Some of them wanted Geo.
Calder, jr., others favored John NJ. Steh-
man. The latter were the most intlu-
ential and secured the certificate of the
delegates from this county in favor of
Stehman's selection. His nomination is
only with held for prudential reasons if
he wants the electorship he can have it,
we are confidently Informed. B. Frank
EShleman and :. 5. Clair are slated as
members of the Republican state central
committee from Lancaster county.

valuable papers. On his return home and

unit rule. But when Mr.. Bingham had
spoken yesterday there seemed some doubt
in the minds of the Blaine men whether he
was really the same Bingham who smashed
things at Cincinnati. The voice was the
voice of Jacob, but the hands were the
hands of Esau. Mr.. Bingham took the
ground, as friend of Blaine, that mas
much as the Blaine delegates had been
shown to be a minority of the convention
by a number of test votes they ought to
submit gracefully to the will of the major
ity and cease further resistance.
Mr.. Strang's motion was voted down,
yeas 9j, nays 154.
On request of Mr. Stewart of Franklin,
a division of the question was ordered and
a vote was taken on that part of the reso-
luton instructing the delegates to Chicago
for L. S. Grant. Carried by vote of
1872 yeas to 113 nays. The unit clause was
then adopted by yira roce vote.
The following report was then made by
the committee Oh permanent organization:
President A. G. Olmsted, of Potter: vice
presidents one from each senatorial dis
trict; secretaries, Henry HUM. Samuel A.

ran, Joseph A. Scranton, Thomas NJ, Gil.

a brief speech of the usual order. and then
Andrew Jackson Herr reported the reso-
lutions as follows:
1. Rejoicing, as we do, over the steady
growth of the national prosperity, which
began in 1876 with the change of the bal
ance of trade in our favor, and over the
successful resumption and maintenance of
specie payments, we may reasonably claim
the financial soundness and prosperity of
the country as the natural result of the
financial policy We, as a party, have sus-
tanned.

having been accomplished, at the time ap-
