I" A GRAVE MISTAKE"

Senator Cameron has committed grave
mistake in forcing through this resolution Of
Instruction. The Pennsylvania delegates should
have gone to Chicago untrsmmeled. Cameron
has shorn Grant OF his moral strength by
making him q contestant for . candidature
with which he has repeatedly declared he
would have nothing to do unless it was will
lingly and voluntarily rendered.
In truth, Cameron has done so much to
damage Grant that one might think that his
act was that Of . man who wanted to render
Gen. Grant odous. Now, we believe il to be
the general conviction Of the people that
nothing but great and overmastsring neces-
sity should call out Grant for . third term, and
as yet there is no certainty OF such . necessity !;
and, therefore, to thrust him upon ths Con-
venton in this way was the surest plot to bow
string him when the delegates assemble in
ut Chicago.
OF course we cannot understand Mr.. Cam
eron's motives, but he may be using Grant to
break somebody else down, and then to bring
forward another man.-Milwaukes Wisconsin

THIS rseult IN the 6tats that had its Convsn
ton called ilrst because 1t vas.cons,dsrsd the
surest OF ell States for Grant, and because
Cameron had promised 1t would instruct unan-
imously for Grant, 10 barren victory indeed.
All the customs OF the party In the State, IN
the manner OF selecting delegates, we're rid
den down with the same imperious disregard
OF far play that characterized the entire pro-
ceeiingr. 1t took all of the immense power Of
the Camerons, backed by all the power of the
Grant movement if the Nation at large, to
bring this result out OF an unwilling and Yet
subservient Convention. For the State that
was to instruct for Grant unanimously. aud for
the State that gave Grant $4,000 msjoritv IN
~ the victory OF yesterday certainly cannot
be Claimed by the Grant party as anything very
extraordinary. To Blame this is not defeat
Against all OF the skillful organization OF the
Camerons and the workings Of the most per-
feet political machine in the Nation, aud with
out any counteracting systematic effort or or
gapizat!on, Mr. Blame carried the State by an
uprising that was as spontaneous aud over
whelming as Il was unexpected and surpris-

Iesult Of it by the artifce OF the Camerons,
will not harm him, nor greatly benefit those
who have thus deprived him OF what was fairly
his own. The result will give him the sym
patby OF the great masses Of the party, and
will nerve his friends into renewed effort in his
behalf. This bold action Of yesterday intro
duces the radical resort OF instructions into
the campaign, and makes the Grant party re-
sponsihle for 1t Other States will now be
forced 10 do the same thing, and the Grant
party will have to stand everywhere by the
test that they have themselves originated in
Pennsylvania. For this test We are ready in
Iowa.
That Pennsylvania led in the betrayal OF ths
popular wish Of the party in 1876, will not
lessen the popular indignation now at seeing
it again lead of in betraying the will Of its
own State in 1S80.-Des Moines Register,

Mr.. Frye, OF Maine, was surprised at the
strength developed by Mr.. Blaine's friends In

Cameron haze made. Mr. willitts, OF Michigan,
didn't think il Grant boom, it was too close,
and il is believed that Gen. Grant will not
take the nomination unless il comes TO him as
SPONTANEOUS offering as il came 10 him in
1868 and 1872. II Is further thought that the
instructions given the Pennsylvaria delegates
TO vote for Grant as a unit, were the result OF
pressure from above rather than an upheaval
from below, or IN other words the influence OF
the Camerons instead OF the spontaneous de-
mand OF the people. 1t looks now as though
an effort will be made 10 force the nomina-
ton of Gen. Grant upon the people without
regard to their wishes. Coukling in New York
will follow the footsteps Of Cameron in Penn
sylyania. without doubt, and the selection OF
Chicago az the place for holding the Convsn-
ton was made with . view OF furthering the
interests OF Gen. Grant. Whether he will
countensncs such conduct on the part OF his
friends remains to be seen.
A few weeks ago when the Democrats were
attempting to Gsrucelon the Legislature and
Governorshp of Maine, the apprehension that
a similar attempt to steal the Presidency would
be made, caused many Republicans to look to
Gen. Grant, ,sas the one available candidate
who possessed ths required strength and firm
ness OF personal character to enforce his right
az ainst any attempt fraudule1.ly to set aside
his election. But the steady and unhinching
course of the Maine Republicans under The
leadership OF Mr.. Blaine, the mastery present
alton OF their case TO the country through the
dec;sions OF the supreme court. aud other ex-
haustive argumentp, and the emphatic con-
demnation Of that grossest Of outrages. when
the rights OF the people by the ablest states
men aud papers in the country, renders the
election OF a President whose chief qualifca-
tion is his ability to meet such contingency
unnecessary. The fact that brute force was not
called into requisitIon in Maine.
Congress is still at a standstlll The house

A TAN ON KNOWLEDGE.

Fos many years there was stamp tax on
English newspapers which after long sgita-
tIon was abolished in 1856. Previous to that
time. the price OF each number was ten and
twelve cents OF our money. As soon as the
STAMP tax was abolished, the prices OF journals
were reduced 20 six cents and four cents, while
penny o. two cent papers, hitherto an unknown
luxury, sprang into existence. The : tax on
knowledge" as il was aptIy termed, had abso-
lutely prohibited aii but the rich from enjoying
the piivilegs OF reading newspapers.
lie United STATES Government has imposed
in thi : country tax on knowledge. And it ID

for she sake OF revenue. The government de-
riyes scarcely auy income from the tax. il
simply prohibits tho importation OF cheap pa

the cos. of cheap paper as to enhance the price
or newspapers. II Is imposed in behalf Of the
paper makers, and Is equivalent 10 subsidy
voted by the people into the pockets Of the pa
per manufacturers. Congress should either
remove this tax on knowledge or vote the
newspapers subsidy equal to the additional
amount which, in consequence OF the tax, they
are forced to pay FOR she,r white paper. We
DO not urge the alternative as practical meas
urs, but 1t would open the eyes Of the Ameri-
can people to the fact OF their now paying q
subsidy 10 the white paper makers.
Abolish the tax on knowledge. Give tbs
community the right to obtain their ;nforma-
tisn from a. sources AZ the lowest price For
this tax does not affect newspapers alone. 1t

[" THE MACHINE

NOBODY believes that Grant is the choice OF
majority OF the Republicans Of PennsylvAnis.
The action OF the State Convention shows
simply.thst the machine can carry Q measure
as against the sentiment OF a majority OF the
party. II 10 woll 10 keep in mind that the
expressions OF convention are not neces-
sarily representative OF the sentiments OF the
party. BY machine work such as the Camerors
have done in Pennsylvania, States are mis-
represented in National Conventions, ard
nominations which do not express the popular
will sre made. Milwaukee sentinel (Rsp).

THE Johnstown Tribune in its editorial
columns Of yesterday week surpassed all its
previous efforts at campaign lying and now
stands without rival in that line in this SET
tlon Of the State with the possible exception
OF the Holldaysburg Register and the Hunt
ingdon Globe and Journal. On the day re-
ferred to the Tribune said:
The New York Sun Of yesterday gives up the
fight. 1t rays: Talk fo= Hancock, work for Han
cock vote for Hancock when the lime comes but
don't bet money HancOck's election.
While 1t is true that the New York sun
said this, it said great deal more IN ttco at
ditional lines, which the editor OF the Tribune,
who possesses a wonderful capacity for such
Infamous work, Intentionally suppressed,
and thus gave to the Suns brief article a
meaning that it never sought to convey,
The whole OF the article, as it originally ap-
peared in the San was as follows:
TAX for Hancock. work for Hancock. vote for
Hancock when the time comes; but don't bet
The Iqirs Of The Stafs Of NsIr York ana besid,s II
may cost you your rote.
It will be seen that the two concluding
sentences, which we have italicised, are en-
tireiy omitted 10y the Tribune, and by that low
and contemptible trick it seeks to impose
upon it's readers something that the Sun new
er said. AS this is an exceptionally glaring
case, we nave thought it worth while to cut
it up by the roots The Tribune, however,
will go on PLAYING the same hand until the
very day of the election, and yet its editor,
we suppose, brlieves in judgment hereaf-
ter, and expects to escape the wrath to come.
If Bob Ingersoll is right, the Tribune man has
sure thing OF 1t otherwise he is doomed.

The Real Battlefield.

TIVE months a 70 we predicted that II would
become apparent, toward the close OF the
Presidential campaign, that the States OF
New York, New Jrrscy, and Connecticut
were the battlefield where the contest would
have to be decided. Indeed, we ventured
then to say that after the conflict was ended
il would be seen that the party which had
carried New Y Ork bad won tho victory in the
nation, aud that its triumph was due to the
thirty Eve votes of that State.
The results of the September and October
elections have not changed our opinions on
this subject. On the contrary, they have
verified their souudness; and all sagacious
observers now perceive uiore plainly than at
any previous stage OF the canvass. that the
determined is New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut
New York Is q Democratic State This
has ueen demonstrated by the results of
eight and perhaps we might say uine, OF its
recent general elections Since the defeat IN
the Greeley campaign of 1872, the Democrats
have invariably carried their State ticket, e1-
cept in the years 1873 and 1879; and on both
those occasions the succrss OF the Republi-
cans was solely owing to disastrous divisions
in the ranks Of the Democracy In truth,
from 1861, when they hrst vreSted New York
out OF the hands or the Republicans, down
to the election Of last fall, when they rAntwo
candidates for Governor the Democrats have
never lost the State il they were thoroughly
united in support OF their ticket. Four years
ago, in n Presidential contest, with a full vote
at the polls, and when the trial OF strength
between the two parties was fairly aud hon
estiy conducted, the Democrats gave Tiden
and Hendricks majority Of rearly 35,oeo.
These facts arc notorious and with bar
ElOny in their councils, with energy in their
ranks, and with plenty uf hard work during
the reuisiniI g days OF the campaign, there is
every reason TO believe that the Democrats
can carry New York as triumpha nty this
fall aS they did in 1876.
New Jersey is one of the most sta BILE Dem
ocratic States in the Union. By large ma
joTitirS it cast its electoral vote for 81 A'Clrilan
in 1854 for Seymour in 1868, and for Tilden
in 1876 It is long since il had . Republican
Governor, and there is no probability that it
will Eov elect one, or give its nine votes to
James A. Garfield.
Perhaps the chances of Democratic success
in Connecticut do not rest on sure basis
as in the two neighboring States. But il has
strong, popular candidate for Governor,
and the supporters of Hancock are moved to
an enthusiastic discharge of their duty in the
present emergency by recollection Of their
victory of four years sgo, when, after 3 sharp
struggle, they carried the State bv majority
of 2,eoo. Ry putting forth due sxertIons the
success Of 1876 may be repeated in the coming
November
These three States east 30 electoral votes.
Four years ago they gave them all to Tilden.
BY giving them to Hancock now they will
render his success absolutely certainly. Y.
