Wolfe to the Rescue

Where is that placid smile which
set so gracefully upon faces of our
Republican friends few days ago
when the name of Charles s. Wolfe
was mentioned ? Have Chairman
Coopers instructions to laugh Wolfe
out of court been countermanded Is
it possible that this "fool" this "crank"
this "disorganiEer" has actually made
the dry bones of machine Republi-
canism rattle as if shook up by the
crack of doom It would seem so.
This man whom the leaders of the
Republican party held in such su-
preme contempt, has actually forged
his way so far to the front as to carry
dismay and CONSERVATION into the
ranks of the stalwarts. From the
Delaware to Lake Erie goes this con-
quering hero and his march across the
state has been one continuous scene of
triumph. He has shivered his shin
ing lance full and fair against the cor
ruptions, populations and unhoiy am
bilions of his party's bosses, until they
tremble like the Jewish King at the
unmistakable~ handwriting they see
upon the WALL All honor to Wolfe.
His is brave and not hopeless battle.
Whether he succeeds now or not he
is laying the foundation for such re-
volt in the future as will forever elm.
mate the power of the ruling family
from Republican politics in Pennsyl-
vania. The death of bossism has
been decreed. 1t may take a new
lease of life for a little while under
the inspiration of stalwart National
Administration, but as sure as comes
seed time and harvest will the rule of
prohigate, corrupt and unscrupulOus
leaders be overthrow and the will of
the people substituted for that of the
machine. II is not in Pennsylvania
alone that this fight is being made.
The New York Democracy are en-.
gagged in struggle looking to the
same end. Whether Il be Boss Kel-
ley, Boss Cameron or boss who or
what, the result will be. the same. The
people, panoplied in the majesty of
honesty aud justice, will see to it soon
er or later, that the money changers
shall be driven from the temple and
their will respected.

THE third term advocates are still
in the field for 1884. They got a slight
back-set in New York by the defeat Of

Cresswell, controlled the Convention
and defeated the halfbreeds or anti

rect the movements of the party. Gen.
Baily Is the candidate of the ring,
and his election is to foreshadow what
the party will be obliged to ratify in
1884. The orders of the bosses are
imperative, and the contest for supre-
macy is nov to be made. Wolfe and

Friday last, and expressed the opinion
that Wolfe the independent candidate
would not poll more than FIVE thous.
aud Republican votes in the State.
From presess. appearances, the Sena-

He had probably not heard of Wolfe's

THE Erie Herald an obscure and
Insignificant Democratic daily pub
lisbed at the home of Hon. Orange

to reflect the views of Hon. w. l..

We hope this is not true. We know
Mr.. Scott to be an able and Jealous

him TO Mr.. Noble would strike his
