this assault upon themselves. United
there are enough Republicans in Pennsyl-
vania to make a successful party, but not
divided. If they are to go on winning
victories, they must stand Vhoulder to
shoulder; and they cannot stand together
without fair play and equal rights.
General Bailey is said to have been a
gallant soldier and is doubtless very
estimable gentleman. But his only rec
ord in civil life is that of mastering in
Grants column of 306 at Chicago and his
name has not been associated with the
nomination for Treasurer until it was
brought out in connection with the move
ment against Senator Davies The fact
that he stood for Grant is no reason for
debarring him from public honors; but
neither is it a good reeson for selecting
him if it be the only reason. l. cannot
be pretended that there has been any such
public sentiment or expression for his
There is no popular strength in the move
ment If he Shall be named it will not be
in response to public demand but be-
cause there is power III the machine to
ConSummate it. On the other hand, if
the Convention be left to the free, un-
trammelled representation of the popular
will there can be little doubt Of the result
In plain terms the only reason for OppoS-
ing the selection which public sentiment
would make is because public sentiment
found him true to it last winter; and it
would not be prudent to make that issue.
We have no personal choice or care in
this matter. We speak only in the inter-
est of the Republican party. In all can
dor and in friendly spirit we admonish
the managers against the mistake Of un-
dertaking to prescribe any Republican
for exercising his individual Judgment.
We do not believe the Independents care
to hold an aggressive attitude; but they
would be less than men if they did not
resist any attempt to oStraciSe or crush
them. They stand ready to cooperate
in securing a united and victorious party
and for this purpose they concede to 9TH
ers all the rights and consideration
which they claim for themselves. The
leaders and managers will be wise if they
meet the representatives of the other side
in this frank and just spirit, and they
should be warned against Il blunder
which will inevitably recoil upon them
selves.

A Fair Warning.

The Philadelphia Press calls a halt to
the party managers in this sensible vlg-
orous manner. They will do we'll to heed
it:
The Republicans Of Pennsylvania
ought to be united and harmonious this
year, both in their Convention and their
campaign. There is no legitimate occa-
sion or just reason for any division. If
any controversy shall come-as we ear
nestly hope there will mott will be be-
cause it is needlessly and unwisely thrust
upon the party. The long contest over
the Senatorship last winter happily end
ed in an adjustment in which all sides
came together on an equal footing; and
that auspicious result ought to be a
pledge OF mutual respect and Difference
on the part of Regulars and Independents
and an assurance against any present re-
vival of it's issues. More than that, un-
der the shadow of the calamity which
hangs over the country and which should
still all strife, any passionate contention
would be as unseemy as it would be un-
justfable. The representatives of the
party should readily reach an agreement
in obedience to the public voice.
Since the declension of Senator Law
renee, the public expression has clearly
and decidedly pointed to Senator Davies
as an acceptable candidate for State
Treasurer. Senator Davies is gentle
man of large ability, irreproachable in
tegrity and high public standing. He
has shown himself in the Legislature to
be one of the most sagacious and prudent
of the Republican leaders. Though a
man of earnest convictions, he has been
moderate and discreet, and there is no
good reason why he should not unite the
whole party. If public sentiment indi-
Gated any other man of equal character
and reputation, he ought to be accepted
as the candidate; and since it seems to
point to Mr.. Davies, why should it not be
respected in the same way? For a long
time it looked as though this wholesome
principle would be adopted and there was
general expectation that he would be
nominated with little or no opposition.
But within a few days it is publicly
stated that some of the leaders or mana
gers have decided to oppose Mr.. Dawes
and have brought forward General Bailey
as their favorite. The reason assigned
for this determination is that Senator
Davies participated iu the Independent t
movement last winter and that he must
be punished for this obedience to public
sentiment and this fidelity to his constit-
uents. We should be very sorry to be-
lieve that there was any such purpose or
that il had any such motive 1t would
be grossly unjust to great body of hon
est Republicans, intellectually hurtful to
the party and utterly disastrous in the
end to those who should unwisely pursue
such course. Ii a proscriptive policy
is to be proclaimed, it can hardly fail to
provoke retaliation. If an honorable
Republican leader is to be struck down
because he followed the dictates of his
own independent judgment and the voice
of his district, the people who are tram
pied on in the person of their representa-
tive will ask whether they should sustain

the place if Jones Goes not.
A DlspATCH from Washington under
date of Feb. 22d, says: The republicans
expect to control the senate after the 4th
of March. They claim now to be perfect
ly satisfied that Malone will vote with
them to reorganize the senate. David
Davis will vote with the democrats. This
will make a tie Vice President Arthur
will then cast the deciding vote, throwing
the control with the republicans. 1t
makes no difference whether the demo-
Gratis question Mr.. Arthur's right to vote
or not, he will vote in case of tie, while
those who dispute his right to so vote will
have no means of preventing him.
THE representatives of the associated
industries who are here in the interests of
the passage of the Eaton tariff
commission bill are somewhat dis
couraged at the prospects of the bill,
which has passed the senate, and now lies
upon the speakers table. A number of in
etlectual efforts have been made to
go to the speakers table. 1t is perhaps
vital to the measure that a motion to pro-
coed to the speakers table to consider i.
shall prevail this week as after this week
motions to suspend the rules will be in
order until the end of the session, and it
will then be verv difficult to pass it.

IT is stated on what seems to be good
authority that Mr.. Lincoln did not de-
eide positively upon any member OF
his cabinet, except that William II.
Seward should be secretary Of state,
until the first Of March. If General
Garfield has been as slow to decide
upon his cabinet officers as Mr.. Lin
coin was, all the speculation in regard
to them has been in vain, or merely
guesses, and poor guesses at that. But
then it is one of the prerogatives OF
the thoroughbred Yankee to guess as
much as he plcases.
