THE New York Tribune, whose upper
most consideration just now is the Blaine
BON, is urging the delegation from the
Empire state to disregard the instructions
of the state convention binding them to
vote for Grant. 1t is absurd, it says, as
well as unjust, to expect delegates elected
by the voters Of their districts to defy and
nullify the preferences of their constit-
ueats because An inconsequential majority
in a state convention pass resolution OF
instruction. Legislatures "direct" ,,sens-
tors and "request" members of Congress
to vote in certain ways. The representa-
ton of a state in a national convention is
modelled exactly after its representation in
Congress-. The state convention has an
undoubted right to instruct or "direct''
the delegates at large, as legislatures
sometimes undertake to instruct senators,
and it may, if it chooses, "request" the
district delegates, just as legislatures
request" representatives in Congress.
But the district delegates can do as they
and their constituents choose-just rs
representatives in Congress do.

Rev. Wagner occupied about forty min
| utes in the delivery of his discourse, which
was thoughtful, scholarly and highly
wrought pulpit effort, addressed with
special aptness to the young novitiates of
the theological seminary, who are about to
assume the duties and responsibilities Of
the Christian ministry. 1t was ornate in
diction as logical in construction, and de-
livered withal in Il manner the earncstness
and force of which enchained the closest
attention of his hearers. He speaks in Il
full, resonant tone of voice that is pleasant
to listen to- and not word nor syllable is
missed Of his clear and accurate enunci-
alton.
At the conclusion of the sermon, prayer
was offered by Rev. J. NJ. Titzel, of Irwin
Station, Pa. and after hymn and the
long metre doxology had been sung. the
congregation was dismissed with the ben
ediction by the same clergyman.

As We Thought.

Mr.. McClelland informs the Pittsburgh
Post that his relation to the chairman
of the state central committee is of a con-
fidential character and relates to the bust
ness and not the political management of
the campaign, as Mr.. Dill intends to take
that in charge and devote his personal
attention to every portion of the state.
Every one acquainted with the working
machinery of a political campaign is
aware of the great amount of office work
necessary to be performed, and this Mr..
McClelland has agreed to do. Nothing
more.' This is just as we supposed it
was. We are very much mistaken in
Mr.. Dill, if he does not intend to be in
fact ,as well as name, the chairman of the
state committee. He is too strong man
himself to be any other mans instru-
ment, or to be disposed to WELD his au-
thority in any interest but that of the
party which has been given in his charge
and which he will expect to reward him
according to his faithfulness to his trust.
1t has an absolute confidence in him
which his record well deserves and is
content that he shall select his own in
struments for the work for which he is
solely responsible. If he thinks he can
advantageously use the service of
Mr.. Hayes Grier, of Columbia, as the
Post suggests, we shall be very willing
that he should secure them if he can.
We do not conceive that it is very ex-
alted ambition which would lead a man
to desire clerical position in the service
of the state committee. To one who
has business of his own to do such man.
ner of political service would entail
sacrifice which most persons would not
be ready to make. Some men, however,
are 50 fond of political work that they
would rather do it than attend to their
own legitimate business, and upon the
active services of such men do parties
largely depend for their motion. They
are entitled to our gratitude for their
exertion, when it is disinterested, as it
often is; and would receive more of it
but for the recognized fact that they
do it because they like to do it and that
it is not therefore the sacrifice which it
seems to be.

ed in the conviction of the defendant,
who was undoubtedly guilty and who
had placed his reliance upon his ability
to escape an appearance before jury. 1t
did not require much evidence to con-
vict one who had so striven to avoid
trial. Like the prisoner who seeks to
escape the custody of the law, and
whose guilt is demonstrated by his flight,
the case of Dennis was long ago decided
against him in the public judgment by
his strenuous efforts to paralyze the pros
ecution. 1t is gratifying that he did not
succeed, but it is not so pleasant to
know that he probably would have sue
ceeded but for the newspaper notoriety
given to his proceedings. The news
paper is a powerful agency in tho REIN

FIRES NEAR READING.

" The Forest" In q Blazo and Great Destruc
ton Of Property Feared.
A fierce forest fire is raging about five
miles south of Reading, in a section OF
Berks county known as "The Forest. u
This is ono of the widest regions in East
ern Pennsylvania. The forest country
covers an area of probably fifty square
miles, and should the fire continue to gain
headway the destruction of property will be
very heavy. Mount Penn furnace, four miles
from Reading, is in great danger. This is
charcoal furnace, which has just beer
altered and improved by Kaufman &
Eckert, of Reading, who expected to put
the same in blast this week. There are Z
number of buildings in the vicinity Of the
furnace and the property is valuable one
The buildings on the farm of A. NJ. Fultor
formerly owned by ex-Congressmar
Schwartz) are also reported to be in dan
ger. There has been drouth of nearly
three weeks and the dryness of the timber
together with the high wind prevailing,
blowing at the rate Of sixty miles pei
hour, has caused the flames to spread
rapidly. Dense clouds of smoke obscureG
the city since an early hour last evening
and the flames were plainly visible from
high points. The section which is beine
devastated by the flames is remote from
railroads, Reading being the nearest poin
and telegraph station. Although knowr
as the forest it is broken by occasiona
small valleys, containing comparativel,
fertile farms, with fine farm buildings
occupied mostly by market gardeners, wht
attend the markets of Reading.
Destructive Fires Elsewhere.
Another disastrous fire started yesterda,
in the timber lard at the head Of FOste
Brook valley, eight miles from Bradford
Pa. The flames swept over the ridge an(
down Tram Hollow, destroying timber anc
oil "rigs" in their path, and almost en-
tirely burning down the villages of Oi
Centre and Middaughville. Last night two
| oil tanks, at different points in the path o
the coniagration-one containing q, ,OO(
barrels of petroleum, the other 5000
were on fire, and the town of Duke Centre
containing about 1000 inhabitants, wa
threatened. A mile above Duke Centre, /:
nitro -glycerine magazine, in the path o
tho flames, exploded with tremendou
force. 1t is estimated that 200 rigs
had been destroyed up to last night. Onl.
one casualty is reported; a man namet
William Reed was dangerously injured b!
| falling tree.
The forest fires in New Jersey have agail
broken out, and kilograms from Hendrick
son, Mt. Pleasant, Barnegat, Atco and Ce
dar Lake report immense damage. Th'
reports from Barnegat and Hendrickso1
describe the contlagarations as "fearful
and appalling" and it is said that g the
line of the coast from Toms river to Squal
appears like sheet of flame" Twenty
houses in the town of Port Republic wer,
burned by sparks from the forest fire il

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN.
Five State Conventions Yesterday

Five State Conventions Yesterday
An enthusiastic convention of the Re-
publicans of Michigan adopted resolutions
yesterday in favor of Mr.. Blaine for presi-
dent and Mr.. Ferry for vice president.
The delegates to Chicago are left free to act
as they choose, but they are almost unani-
nous for Blaine. A resolution opposing a
nomination to a third term was laid on the
table. The Nevada Republicans instructed
their delegates for Blaine. TheWest Virginia
convention was also enthusiastic for the
same candidate. The Florida convention
declared for Grant. The Wisconsin Dem
ocrats choose delegates to Cincinnati yes
terday. They did not instruct the dele
gates, but the convention was for any man
except Tilden. Were it understood that
Horatio Seymour would be candidate the
vote would be solid ::for him. Next
in favor in order of strength are General
Hancock, Governor Parker, of New Jer-
sey, Judge Field, Of California, H. j. Jew
EFT, of Ohio, and Bayard, of Delaware.
Tilden and Sherman.
Samuel J. Tilden and Mr.. Sherman met
at noon yesterday, in the Office Of L. H.
Meyer, 81 Nassau street, New Yerk. The
occasion was meeting of a committee of
the directors Of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago railroad. Both are
members of the board and of the commit
tee. Their entrance to the building was
observed and quickly drew crowd Of sew
eral hundred persons, which waited nearly
two hours for their temperance. Some
attempt at greeting was made when they
came out, but it was evident that curiosity
rather than political enthusiasm had at
tracted the crowd. Mr.. Tilden went across
the street to the Third national bank to at
tend directors meeting, and Mr.. Sher-
man went to the custom house. It is re-
ported that the recognition between the
two was formal and the conversation
slight.
