TUESDAY EVENING. DEC. q, 1880.
ssLllfle,, Ref0rmerR

The council of one hundred Little Re-
publicans of Philadelphia had famous
meeting yesterday which is very anus
ing indeed tn read about. The net result
of the observation taken by the public on
their action is that they were very ap-
propriately formed by Little and are
very little reforlners with very little
sense. They nominated two good reform
Republicans for two of ne Offices, and
finished up their work by putting on
William S. Stokley for mayor. Stokley,
who has been the city's mayor during
all these days whose evils reform is now
SO earnestly invoked to redress How
on earth could reform committee be
persuaded to nominate such a cold-blOod-
ed enemy of reform 1t seems to have
been owing to the fact that
the majority were Republicans
first and rcformers second, and
the Republican ring appears to have
persuaded these semi-refOrmers that the
whole dirty shop of them would fall into
the reformers' arms and their movement,
if they would only nominate StOkley for
mayor. The idea is that the Republican
party convention will adopt the re-
formers ticket, root and branch. If it
does the measure of reform accomplished
will he just what the two honest REFORM
ers on the ticket can accomplish for
there is no reasonable hope of anything
Of fV,, I, t.,l,ln,, rNGn nf
people will thoroughly sympathize with
the opinion of one Of the speakers at the
council meeting of the hundred, who
vowed that he could not believe in the
regeneration of SO old Il political hummer
as Stokley. lie thought that he was too
Well-estabiished in his croOkednesS to be
Strengthened by human power. He he
lieved the day of miracles had passed and
that Stokley will not he instantly con-
vertcd to goodness, after the fashion OF
Saul. '' l have no faith he declared
6 that anything can work the conversion
of a Pilgrim Rooster but the grace of
God;' and he evidently believed that the
Little Hundred committee was not
equal to the job of amounting SO bad
smelling a Pilgrim us StOkley. Protes-
tations of goodness and pledges emphatic
:.lrl many came in from Stokley, and
:,iI. of his enthusiastic friends declared
IN the warmth of his championship that
he would pledge himself to anything
wi:rreat tlle..reformers laughed but never
ii.Iass accepted the eager picdger as
tlici, candidate, and put the banner Of
reform in his filthy hands.
The consequence will bc that the reg
u..:i Republican convention will nCmi-
nate Stokley. That they will support the
other two is not to be believed
just ROW. The Democratic cOnven-
tiOn ought to nominate C,svcn and
Hunter, lnda good Democrat, like Dick
VauN, for mayor. Then the iioncst re-
formers will have a chance to elect
non-lartisan, straightout, uncomprom-
i'ing reform candidates, in regard to
whom they can have no shadow of doubt.

The Senatorial Scramble.

There is reason to believe that the de-
Sign to elect IIoyt to the United States
Senate has been abandoned. He was
thought OF by the Cameron people as
their next selection to Quay. The latter
wants it and IN point of faithful service
to TIE FAMILY he deserves il. lie
could be mere useful to Cameron and less
in his way than any other colleague he
could have. Ii Cameron We're sure of 4
seat in the cabinet he would doubtless
strain Il point +" elect Quay, and had he
two places to ill instead of one there is,
little doubt that he could combine with
some other :ls,irant so as to make Quay's
election, it hcing understood all the time
that McMancs will keep hands off the
senatorial fight. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo that Cameron can get II" assurances
from Garfield and nc must take his
chances on the election of Il single
United States senator. These he cannot
afford to risk on Quay. The riot bill job
berry is too fresh and too offensive.
Nor is IIoyt amy stronger, materially,
than Quay. lie might pick up some
votes that Quay could not, but he has
the same weakness rs Il candidate, and
his cimncesare crippled by the defections
from him of the L:lZarne and Lack;l-
wanna delegations. Both Quay and
IIoyt seem to he laid aside for the pres
ent and the next person in the line of
succession to CamerOn'S $ favor is Henry
w. Oliver, Il rich Pittsburgher, who was
ut the head of the late Republican cleo
tOral ticket. He has several points to
recommend him to Cameron. lie will
not Outshine him on the floor. lie is
loyal to TIE FAMILY. He is rich and
the campaign against Grow is just the
sort to be won 10y Il lavish use of money.
BY i sl,rewi man9uvre he has had the
Allegheny delegation, with at least fif-
teen votes in the net, committed to sup
port the choice of the majority.
Oliver can get that majority and
thus the whole vote, which will
be 4 handsome send-Olf. The pres
ent effort is to break up the local strength
of Grow 10y bringing out candidates with
a merely local following; this is pro-
crossing at Il lively rate. In central
Pennsylvania Mr.. Hcwit's canvass for |
speaker is the first consideration. He |
has been recognized as a friend of Grow,
but the effect OF his election, now very
certainly anticipated, will he neutralized
by the failure of the Cameron element to |
oppose him. Mr.. Hewitt is not the
man to forget such generosity. If Mr..
Grow expects to he elected he has to dis
play signal genrralslip ana for that he
has never shown any great capacity.
His opponents are well satisfied that his
friends shall adhere to him for they feel
that Grow can lie beaten more easily
than new man upon whom his strength
might be got to rally.

JAMES SARGENT is one Of the many
who believe the slate-writing spiritual
manifestation is simply clever trick
of the sleight-ofhand order. Like
others. he is bound TO admit that it lie
a most pulling test to the locker
on, and he is bafHed in his effort to
fathom the mystery. AS many oil
our readers sfe aware this trick il
performed under disadyantageoul
circumstances to the spirits. A
dOuble-slate is firmly tied together
with strings, a bit Of pencil being
enclosed; the slate is firmly pressed
under the table, and seemingly with
cut interference on the part OF any
one in the material body. when the
slate is removed, and the strings are
loosened, writing appears on the sur
face. II is true, that in a good many
OF these spirit communications the
orthography is bad and the writing IL
ezecrable, but considering the cram
ped position of the spirit the chiro
graphy ought to be excused. What
Mr.. Sargent proposes is this-to give
$lOO if the spirits will write within a
double-slate sealed up by him 60 thai
tae seals will have 20 be broken be
fore the writing can be read. This
proposition ought to be regarded as
liberal. According to testimony Of
mediums, stone walls and bolted
doors are as nothing TO the spiiits,
hence sealing wax should not stay
their ghostly hands.
