LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES.
How the Money Goes at Harrisburg.


New Era.
Chief Clerk Cochran, during the session
of 1876, absorbed 9,SO4.24 for " station
ery'' and supplies" and 81, 02G.7S under
the comprehensive head of "misccllane-
ous," besides ); s7,47s.1o for contingent t
expenses. 4
Lemuel Brown"
Is Lemuel Brown still " sick % That
is understood to be the excuse Chief Clerk
Cochran made for him last winter for not
taking his place at Harrisburg to do his
share of the work for which the state paid
5000. AS diligent inquiry has been made
by the colored people of Lancaster with
out finding any, trace of him, it is supposed
his was sickness unto DEATH" If so, a
part of his pay ought to be appropriated to
the erection of Il headstone to mark his
grave. Will Senator Mylin be kind
enough to point out the secluded spot
where he was buried.
Which is Correct?
Chief Clerk Cochran says, in the En-
amtner last evening, that he contracted
for S635.50 worth of brooms buckets and
soap to be delivered only in the event of a
legislative session in 1890 that as no ses-
sion has been held, none of these articles
have been delivered, ''dnd no money paid on
account Of this contract" Now, if Mr..
Cochran tells the truth, and everybody
knows he is a little George Washington,
the auditor general and state treasurer
have been guilty of some very slovenly
bookkeeping, or something worse. In
Auditor General Schelrs report on the
finances, page 11S, under the head of
" Expenditures of the commonwealth y
Senate Stationery and supplies" this
item will be found:
"W. NJ. Gray, for brooms. buckets,
&C.. for year ending June 1, 1880, $685.
5O.''
If, as Mr.. Cochran says, no money has
been paid on account of this contract, how
did the item get among the expenditures?
1t is found under statement H., which the
auditor general says, in his introduction to
the report, shows ''the payments at the
treasury, and the purposes for which they
were made"

What Would he Funny.

Should the Republican voters, at the
primaries holding in this county today,
declare by a majority for Grant for pres
ident, and for Quay for United States
senator-aS their sanguine friends now
expect-it will most appropriately illus
trate the resistless power of the Repub-
can " machine" in this state. Such
contingency as that which we have
broached had not been dreamed of in this
campaign. The Grant and Cameron
party, it was assumed, would not venture
upon contesting this issue. They were
charged with being so fearful of putting
it to the test that they dared not even
print the names of their favorites on the
general ticket lest their popular weak
ness be exposed. The friends of Blaine
and Grow have been of the opinion that
they had it all their own way and their
predictions are expressed by the Phila-
delphia Press to-day when it says of the
pending result at the Lancaster prima-
ries: /" A large vote is certain to be
polled, and it is positive that Senator
Blaine will be declared the choice of the
people by tremendous majority. Mr..
Grow will, of course, be approved for the
senatorship.''
Now if, in the face of these hopes and
confident boasts, the Republicans of Lam
caster county should wake up on Mon
day-the truly good are supposed to
slumber politically over Sunday-and
find themselves dragged at the chariot
wheel of Cameron, Quay & Co., what
are they going to do about it And yet |
before this men have dug pitfall and
stumbled into it themselves.
