Wolfe Stock on the Rise.
Harrisburg Independent.
an yours truly,
ORANGE NOBLE,

Disguise it as you will the independ-
ent movement in Pennsylvania, head
ed by Representative Wolfe, is assum-
ing very formidable proportions. Near
ly all the independent journals of the
State have espoused the cause of the
eloquent Union county reformer, while
number of pronounced Republican
organs have so far unloosed their fealty
to the machine" as to place his name
side by side with the ''nlleged'' regular
nominee of the party. In addition to
this, majority of the great reform
committee of One Hundred in Phil
adelphia, have openly taken up the
Wolfe cause, and are prosecuting a
vigor GUS canvass in that city in his be-
half. From other portions of the
State likewise come news of Independ-
ent demonstrations, which in many
cases result in the formation of
"Wolfe clubs" with large and gath
eriDg membership. At every point
visited by Mr.. Wolfe, he has been re-
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm,
and the public meetings he addresses
are distinguished for the magnitude
and high political character of their
participants. The fact that no party
principles are involved in the contest
adds strength to the movement. 1t is
simply question of reform against
boss or machine rule of the party, and
from the present appearance of things
it looks very much as if the former
would win.

DAVIS SUCCESSOR TO BAYARD.

AS soon as the republicans of the
United States senate saw that they
could shape things to suit them
selves, they proceeded to do SO. The
thought that they were powerless
even for few days was unendur-
able 70 them and, the first oppor-
tunity that presented itself to re-
gain that power was taken hold of.
Mr.. Bayard was not the man they
desired on the presidents chair and
consequently haste was made to re-
move him and put another there.
Mr.. Logan nominated Mr.. Davis, of
Illinois: for president pro tenn, and
after some protests from Mr.. Pen
dleton, Mr.. Davis was declared
elected. The republicans thus sue
ceeded in gaining the power of
choosing the president pro TEN. but
whether their choise was a wise
one, remains to be seen.
