A PURE DEMAGoGUE.-Mr. Blaine's
sole idea of craftsmanship seems to be
to array one portion Of the country
against the other, He has occupied
bimeeli exclusively with this mission
for the past FIVE or six years, and all
his energies have been devoted to the
task Of rekindling the embers of sec.
tional hate. owe know of no opinion
looking to the constructive work oi
government" says the New York Ma
ton, commenting on this fact, (which
he has preached or with which he is
identified. We know of no bill affect.
ing any great public interest which he
has introduced, debated instructively,
or amended. We do not know, and
we do not believe anybody else knows
what his views are about any of the
problems, such as currency, taxation
or administration, now pending or i'm
pening. On none Of these subjects
has he rendered any aid in forming oil
moulding public opinion" In otbel
words bis sole claim to consideration
at the hands of the Republican party Il
that he is one Of the most successful
of the many "stalwart" demagogue'
produced by the war.

A GREAT CALAMITY.-Not since the
great fire of lS45, IN Pittsburgh, has
any section of our State been so afilict.
cd with the fire fiend as the beautiful
and wealthy borough Of Milton, in
Northumberland county, well.known to
every Susquehanna raftsman. A fire
broke out in the car.works, on Friday,
tho l4th inst, during very high
wind, and tho devouring element
spread until $50 buildings were in
ashes. Nine Of the ten churches are
gone, all the hotels but one, the two
banks, and tho two printing offices,
together with nearly all the business
houses The loss will exceed two mill
ions Of dollars, about oneiourth Of
which ia insured. The distress is re.
ported to be very great, and ii becomes
the duty OF all who can, to assist those
who met this sudden disaster Our
osVvvis a., in ioro, was equally az
bad but the number of buildings was
not near 30 great. The poplation Of
Milton is over 1900, iour-filths ol
whom are burned out Of house and
home.

SEVERAL Coon THINGS. s.--The Belle.
iontc Democrat throws out some ad-
vance information OF this kind "Wth
Andrew II. Dill as Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee several
good things are assured. First OF all,
every Democrat in the State will re.
eeivo fair and honorable treatment at
his hands, which was not the case un.
der his immediate predecessor That
will be one good thing, In the second
place, it may be set down as o certain
ty, that the hall in which the State
Convention is held a year hence will
not be packed IN advance of the as.
sembling of the delegates by brutal
gang of ruflians, from the slums Of
Philadelphia, to act as door keepers,
with authority to insult and maltreat
decent people, as was the case at Har.
risburg under his immediate predeces
sor. This will be another good thing
In the third place, there will be no
lightning calculators among the Secre,
taries Of the Convention to falsify the
votes of delegates, as was also the case
at Harrisburg under bis immediate
predecessor. This will be still another
good thing. For all these good things
Mr.. Dill's honesty of purpose and in,
tegrity of character are an ample
guarantee

Hg IS a QUEER FELLOW The "in.
dependent voter" that the Philadelphia
Times so constantly pirates about, is a
creature of its own imagination, and
appears to be one without political or
moral principle, who is waited about
at the pleasure Of his mere whims, or
puffed about by blasts from dema.
gogues. He Is a voter for barter, for
compromise, and for selfish profit.
Fortunately 80 few exist that they are
incapable Of making an impression
upon any ordinary scale. The inde'
pendent voter in fact is one who Is
faithful to political and moral convic.
tions and has the courage to uphold
them on all proper occasions-and to
vote in strict accordance with them

A SLIGHT INITA TION OF THE
HA YES FRA I'D.

The editor OF the Easton S,ntinei
was present at the late State Conven.
ton, and he has this to say about the
proceedings
"We are very sorry 10 know that
the resolution requiring the delegates
from Pennsylvania to the Democratic
National Convention to vote az unit
on all questions coming before that
body, was defeated and especially 80
when We think of the questionable
means used to bring about that result.
When the strength and power of a
great State like Pennsylvania, is to
be irittered away to crafty the ambi'
tion of ono man, we think II Is about
time to call halt. Whom q minority,
who happen to have the counting power
in their hands will deliberately defeat
the expressed will of the majority, we
raise our voice as loudly in condemna'
tion as we did when the minority
played the same game in counting
Hayes into the Presidential chair, We
never will countenance chicanery or
trickery, it matters not where we lind
il. When we refer TO trickery, we
mean the manner in which the 1875
votes were obtained against the unit
rule to the l22 for IT. Every tally
kept in the Convention, except that
kept by Tim oLeary and A. r. Boi.
lean, gaze a majority for the unit rule,
and why Mr., Monaghan, who has the
reputation of being fair man, would
lend himself to such nefarious scheme
to defeat the will of the majority is
inexplicable 10 us. When he an.
nounced the "clorks agreed in their
tally" he knew that that was not the
fact, because Mr. Bogart, one of the
Secretaries of the Convention, a repu.
table gentleman, (whose word ought
to have as much weight anywhere, as
the two worthless, oIeary and Boi-
leau, rose in full view of the Pres.
dent and declared the clerks did not
agree in their tally Had he not been
quite so much biased on this question,
be certainly would have ordered an.
other call of the roll as was his duty
to do. But no, that did not suit the
minority and he declared the vote
against the unit rule, without even di.
reoting the list Of yeas and nays to be
called over, in order that the delegates
might see Cheher or not their uoteS had
been property recorded, This kind OF
business may succeed sometimes, as it
did in his case and in the case of count
ing in Hayes, but it is infamous bust
ness--just as low when practiced by
Democrats as INDUCED in by Republi.
cans-and the parties engaged in it
will be held in just as much contempt
by all right-minded and thinking peo.
ple,"

RANDALL's FENCES. SO many states.
men lately leave Washington for their
homes, for the purpose of repairing
the fences on their farms. John Sher.
