LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THROUGH QUAKER CITY sPEs;TACLEs

Viewing Lancaster Democracy at Long
Range.
Philadelphia Times to-day.
The Lancaster Democrats never get any,
thing but delegates to the party conven-
tions, and therefore they seem to think it
worth while to indulge in a regular row
when they are called upon to select a few
delegates. Three conventions were held
yesterday for the election of eight dele
gates to the state convention and the NOM
ination of candidates to be voted for in
November. There was no struggle over
the nominations, candidates for Congress,
district attorney and the Legislature hav-
ing been selected without a struggle, but
when it came to the question of delegates
the two Democratic parties had a hand-to-
hand fight in one of the districts. The
result of the days work is that two dele
gates will be chosen to represent the Lam
caster district in the Cincinnati convention
who will be no mans men, who are not
now concerned for any particular presiden-
tial candidate, and Lancaster will be against
the unit rule in the Harrisburg convention.
Our Candidate for Congress.
The Democrats Of Lancaster haven't one
chance in several hundred thousand of
electing candidate for Congress-, but they
usually make such arrangements that if
the accident ever did happen the district
would have nothing to be ashamed of in
it's representative. Mr.. Jacob L. Steinmetz,
who was yesterday nominated for Congress,
has represented the Lancaster city district
in the Legislature and is a man whom the
Democrats of the county will be we'll sat
isfied to vote for. He is the first candi
date in the field in this state and the
second nominated for the Forty-seventh
Congress, De La Matyr having been the
first,

IT was neither just nor judicious in
Senator Wallace to arrange with certain
huckstering Republican politicians that
all the Democratic census enumerators
to be appointed in Lancaster county
should he ''placed in the upper sena-
torial district, and that Supervisor
Snowden should take his orders from
single Democrat retained by Senators
Cameron and Wallace to dispense the
enumeratorships in consideration of the
support of delegates to the state conven-
tion " in support of Mr.. Wallace's inter-
ests.' The whole bargain was highly
discreditable to all concerned, and since
the consideration cannot be delivered
the contract may as well be annulled.
Let there be fair deal all around and
the favors be passed regardless of selfish
factional interests. TerJum sap.

Randall Opposed to the Unit Rule.


Speaker Randall has written the follow
ing letter to prominent Democratic poll
tician in Pennsylvania, in reply to an in
quiry as to the formers views with regard
to the unit rule in the forthcoming state
convention:
DEAR SIR: Your inquiry received. l am
opposed to the unit rule because it fetters
and practically DISTINGUISHES the minority.
In Pennsylvania the delegates to the ma
tional convention are chosen by districts,
and the state convention, having nothing
to do with their appointment, has no
power to direct the manner in which their
votes shall be cast. With the four dele
gates-at-large who are elected by the state
convention, the course is of course differ
ent. The unit rule has been a convenient
device by which to shackle the Republican
party in Pennsylvania and to subject it to
absolute personal domination, and it is not
at all desirable to engraft the practice upon
the policy of the Democratic party. With
us the people govern in their own way.
The Lancaster resolution of 1876, to which
you refer as precedent, goes for nothing,
as it had not the judgment of a full con-
vhntiOn in its favor. Yours truly,
(SigneD S.. RANDALL.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Pleasant Time at Joseph Eckstein's House.
Yesterday Joseph Eckstein, who is the
Oldest member of the Hebrew congre-
cation of this city, was "a years of age,
and the ladies' society, composed of men,
bers of the church, determined to give him
and his wife surprise. In the evening a
large number of the members of the con-
gregation, together, with their families,
met in the synagogue and proceeded from
that to Mr.. Eckstein's residence. The
affair was complete surprise
to that gentleman, who, during
the evening was presented with
a purse of money by the party present.
Mr.. Jacob Loeb made the presentation
speech and Mr.. Eckstein responded, ten
dering the assembled party his sincere
thanks. Other speeches were made by
different parties, and refreshments, which
were furnished by the ladies, were served.
The party adjourned at seasonable hour,
wishing Mr.. Eckstein many more birth
days.

Mrs. Samuel A. March, Of West Ches-
ter, was fatally burned on Tuesday morn
ing by her clothes taking fire from the
cook stove while she was preparing dinner.
She died on Wednesday morning.
Mrs John B. Fchleisen, of Harrisburg,
came near being burned to death yester-
terday afternoon, her clothes having taken
fire flOm the flames of pile of brush she
was burning in her garden. She is terribly
burned, but her physician has some hopes
of her recovery.
On Monday morning John Whitaker,
blacksmith, of Avondale, Chester county,
arose apparently healthy. He ate hearty
bI eakfast and proceeded to his shop and
went to work. A short time afterwards
he complained of dizziness in the head,
and requested his son to assist him to the
house, which was about Is yards distant,
which was done, and he lay down on .
couch, when he shortly afterwards ex-
pired. The coroner's jury returned a ver-
dict of death from apoplexy.
J. Norris Long, conductor of freight
train on the w. & N. X. r., met with
very serious accident on Monday after
noon, while making coupling. At Coates
vile is a culvert about two feet wide, and
over this culvert Mr.. Long made the coup
ling, and in doing SO he stood Oh the rail.
A wheel of the moving portion of the train
ran upon his foot. and he threw his body
back to save his life, which would have
been lost had he not done SO. The wheel
passed up his foot and up the left leg to
about four or five inches below the knee,
terribly lacerated the feshy part, breaking
the bone of the fore part clear of, the end
Of which protruded through the lacerated
flesh. The bones of the heel were also in
jured, and the general impression was that
the leg would require amputation below
the knee

Grant, Blaine, Tilden.

General Grant is advancing up the
Mississippi valley, but is no longer an
object of public interest, and his second
coming produces no sensation. There
will certainly be no wave of enthusiasm
to carry him through the Chicago con-
vention. Main force and hard-fighting
only will save him there, as it only has
saved him in the state conventions where
he has been apparently endorsed. Ken
lucky wheels into line for him, but in the
face of adiscOntented minority. Blaine
Oh the other hand seems to be doing
smooth work. The states he gets ap-
pear to be for him heartily. lie will be
the leading candidate and will encounter
the combined opposition which enures
to that perilously exalted position. The
nominee is likely to be Blaine or some
body who is now nobody. There is hard
ly chance for Grant. In weakness as
candidate before the country Blaine
will only he second to Grant. Against the
latter the powerful anti-third-term feeling
will be omnipotent. Against Blaine the
uncleanness of his hands ought to be alb
solutely destructive. With Democratic
candidate in the field whose reputation
is without reproach, Blaine with his
smirched reputation surely cannot tri-
umph. We are in time when party
prejudice is not very lively and when
party ties will fail to control great
many voters against their judgment of
the candidates. In the even balancing
of parties which exists the character of
the candidates will exercise a controlling
influence. Mr.. Blaine has no character to
speak of and will get no electoral votes to
speak of against a reputable candidate.
We have many such to make our
selection from. Our delegates only need
to exercise an average amount of dis
cretion and they will not 60 wrong. Mr..
Tilden, who is the choice of so many
because of their belief that his nomina-
tion will best typify our loathing of the
great fraud which kept him out of the
seat to which he was elected, has never
theless stirred up against himself so
much feeling, whether it is rightfully or
wrongfully entertained, that it is obvious
that the good of the party requires the
withdrawal of his name. We do not
suppose that he will permit it to be pre-
sented to the convention, or that he
would desire a nomination that has not
rendered him with some approach to
unanimity. He would not he honored
by a second nomination in any
way forced from the party.
He has been once the candidate and if
he ought to be chosen again, the party |
desire would he emphatically SO ex-
pressed. That desire is the other way.
Even those who would vote for Mr.. Til
den if he should insist upon being
would experience a feeling of
