the eligibility to a seat in the convention is
determined, upon the evidence produced
before the convention or before committee
appointed by the convention. The passage
of the resolution would therefore be an
er parte proceeding, determining the status
of the one faction and their prima .facit
right and title toa seat in the convention, be-
cause some of the faction now had the right
to vote on this resolution, and the other
faction could not be heard for the reason
that they have had no notice that such
a question was to be sprung in this COM

The Harrisburg Patriot says: The first
and chief desire of every true Democrat
should be to restore harmony to the
party" Yet there is not paper in the
state that has done more to create discord
and division than this very Patriot ITSELF
1t has made itself the mouthpeace Of Wal
lace only, and daily indulges in abuse of
Tilden and his friends. In the very same
issue in which the above advice appeared,
there were several columns of defense of
Wallace and abuse of Tilden and his friends
and as sample we quote the following.
6 It is an open secret that Tilden has con-
fided his fortunes to the keeping Of Sam.
Randall, and that upon the decision of
Pennsylvania hang all the hopes of the
two Sans, together with the organized ap-
petite or embodied hunger of the army of
beats and bummers who follow in their
train" We want Tilden men everywhere
to make note of these things.

We do not think the Democratic party

nize the right of Senator Wallace to dis
tatorial power in the party we, quite as
positively, refuse to admit Speaker RAN
dall's authority to direct or command.
