In will be seen that the dealers who last
year cut II, 900 tons of ice and sold all of
it have cut this year none worth mention
ing. Besides, brewers, hotel and restau-
rant keepers, butchers and other business
men whose trade requires ice, and many Of
whom have ice houses Of their own. find
themselves without pound Of the con-
gealed fluid, as do also hundreds of private
families who usually lay in their
own supply in private ice-houses. TAX
ing one consideration with another" the
prospect for the dog days is not assuring.
Last summer pure solid ice sold as low as
25 cents per hundred weight. 1t is now
selling as high as 70 cents, and there is nc
telling what it may be when hot weather
sets in. Some of the dealers who have
contracted for a supply for their customers
think they will be able to furnish ice al
low as Is cents per hundred, or at worst
not more than cent a pound.
Elliott Brothers will get their ice from
the Brandywine near Coatesville, where
immense quantities we're cut during the
winter of '7S-9, and not needed last
summer. 1t is magnificent ice, ranging
from 10 to IA inches in thickness. Mr.
Fordney will receive his supply from Phil
adelphia, and Mr.. Hartman will get hi:
from Mr.. Bletz, of Columbia, where lars'
quantities were left over last season, ant
some verygood.sice was cut the past season
1. is some consolation to know that oul
fathers and grandfathers got along prett.
we'll without the use of ice and that W,
may possibly do SO too, on pinch. Twent!
years ago there were but two ice dealer
in the city and neither of them did tith,
of the business now done by even thu

s. Instructions - and ss Unit Rules"


Every intelligent Democrat who makes
it his business, or is in position to in
quire diligently among his fellow-Demo-
Gratis in this section, ascertains at once
that while there is the widest diversity of
personal preference among the Demo
cratic candidates for president, the popu-
lar feeling is no less intense in support of
the election of any one of them who is
likely to be nominated. Take the first
ten Democrats you meet on the street.
or write to dozen at random in different
parts of the county inquiring who is their
choice for the Democratic nomination,
and you will get answers for Seymour,
Tilden, Bayard, Parker, Nc Clellan, Han
cock, Palmer, Hendricks, Field, Randall,
Thurman, Eaton and possibly others;
but every one will add "but, above all,
give us that fit and worthy name upon
whom it appears, at the time of the NOM
ination, that the party can most solidly
unite who will engender the least fac
tional feeling in whose nomination
every element will acquiesce in whose
behalf all personal and sectional issues
will be sunken and forgotten" Who is
that one man does not appear with great
positiveness to any one just now, and
probably will not be made entirely plain
until Democrats of the East and the West,
and of the North and the South, shall
meet and sit down together, and reason
and take counsel with each other.
It is easy to start booms;'' it is easy
to pass resolutions; it is easy for small
plurality gathered together in committee
or even in convention to pass resolutions
and vote instructions which may not
fairly represent large majorities. But it
is not easy for anybody to say now, with
truth, that any one person is the 6 first,
last and all the time choice " of any large
section or body of Democrats, pending
the developments of the next few months,
and the outworking of that feeling we
have referred to, among all loyal and
patriotic Democrats, to select the worthy
standard bearer who can most certainly
be elected.
Politicians with axes to grind, with
bargains to make, with private ends to
serve, may dicker for this man or that
man. They may want instructions "
for their man, and, securing a majority
by hook or crook, they may attempt to
fetter and silence all who differ from
them with the "unit rule "a conve-
nient device of those who have "some-
thing to trade
When such an intelligent difference of
opinion on personal preferences and at
the same time such unity of purpose on
the main issue prevail as now inspire
the Democratic party here and elsewhere,
every voice has right to be heard and
every element to be fairly represented.
" Instructions and "unit rules " are
sinister devices to cover a hidden pur
pose. They mean the Acknowledgement
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1880-03-23

of the majority, whose rights are always
safer in the hands of intelligent repre-
sentatives who respect them than when
placed at the disposition of weaker men
bound by instructions and locked with
unit rules.

EX-SENATOR CHR1sT1ANcY's "son

STEP mother, that his father sold out the
senatorship to Senator Chandler. DR..

to retire from the Senate, as he had lost
interest in politics, and his business was
embarrassed, and he thought it advisable
to accept position in which he could
save something, which he could not do in
the Senate. Senator Chandler stated that
he was enthusiastically interested in poll

dishonorable word from either of them
and never made the statement to Mrs.
Christiancy that could be so construed and
that her statements are entirely drawn
from imagination.

that Mr.. Randall and Mr.. James P. Barr
are merchandise whom the Republi-

to promote harmony and unity in the
Democratic party by making a sewer of
itself to receive the Critics filth :; but it
would save its credit by quoting from a
paper which did not have to be bought and
paid the cash for supporting Col. Noyes in
1877, when the most "invincible argu-
ments had to be invoked by the Record's
friends to overcome the Critics aversion
to ga Wallace man." And there is John
C. Barr We see figuring around Pittsburgh
as "a Wallace man." No man in Pennsyl-

such malignity, no one has SO fully abused
his confidence, as this same John G. Barr
and Mr.. Wallace knows it.

ICE.


A Failure In tho Harvest-Wnat Our Local
Dealers are Doing.
The reader need not be reminded that
the ice crop of Lancaster and vicinity
during the past winter was almost a total
failure. True, several hundred tons of
thin ice, much of it mixed with snow, was
cut from the small lakes and ponds near
the city and sold at high price to the ice
cream manufacturers but our regular ice
merchants cut very little-some of them
none at all The capacity of the several
ice houses, the number Of tons cut last
year, and the number cut this year may be
stated apprOxmately as follows.
