How CAMERON BossRs PKNNsxL-
WANNA IN THE SENATk.--The Phila-
delphia Telegraph does not like the
way Cameron uses the Senate "ma-
chine" to boss the Republicans of that
State who will not do the Senator's bid
ding. It urges its party TO oppose
"CAmeronism" in open and strong lam
guage as is shown in the editorial we
copy from it below:
"THE PRESIDENT AMD TEE MA
CBINE.-The declared action Of Senator
Cameron with reference to the nomiua

Surveyorship, is striking illustration
OF the laws and methods of sinacliuen
politics. The Senator openly declares

lu this matter the fit representative of
the other "nachine," proposes TO second
this piece OF Senatorial stubboruess and
petty spitework. NV, why should
Captain bravo not be confirm I'd? He |

IS the choice of the President OF the

But Messrs. Cameron aud Wallace say

House on Wednesday. The reply of
Mr.. 7. N. Williams showed how
greatly the former had strayed from
the true principles upon which the gov
ernment of the Union has been framed.
The difference in The views of the two
gentlemen is about the difference be-
tween the two great parties. When
the Democrats come into power and
assume to conduct the government up
on the existing laws as enforced by The
party in power, the Republican lead
ers will be found shifting around 10
the position occupied now by the
Democrats, and at the expense OF con-
eistency will soon thereafter be de.
nouncing their own legislative acts as
they have often done before. They

was quite evident when in 1874 it was
thought the Democrats were sure to
carry the country because of the great
tidal wave under which the Radicals
went down in most of the States. That
party would gladly have seen the Fed
eral election laws repealed then and at
other times subsequently.
Even after the raseality that vas de-
velOped in the great fraud of 1876 many
of their lead rs would gladly have seen
these laws wiped out of existence rather
than to have been compelled to witness
their enforcement by the Democrats.
The Radicals know full we'll that IL is
only through the operation Of these
laws that they secured power and thai
