COOPERS TANGLED FIG URE
WORK.

Prom the Phiiaiolphia Times, Oct. 2Ol
Field Marshal Cooper evidently was
so nervous when ho pcnncd his procla
nation demanding that all Republi
cans shall fall down and worship the
bosses, that he got his figures fright
fully mixed, Among other tangling
of the facts OF political history, he per
petrates the following;
Seventeen years ago a few pr. fessed Republican
/ politicians in this State had shown their capacity
for leadership BY reducing the party to a minor.
] iiy. The Legislature was lost aud McGrath
Democrat, became State Treasurer. Ablor lead.
trs came forward 10 that crisis and the Republi.
cans Immediately gained their supremacy. These
rejected leaders, unable longer to plunder the
State and ruin the Republican party, at once
bee anne "Roiormers."
Seventeen years, according to all
save the arithmetics of the bosses,
takes us back to 1864, when Henry d.
Moore, Republican, and not MoGrath,
Democrat, was elected State Treasurer.
McGrath was chosen State Treasurer
by tho Democratic Legislature elected
in the Fall of lS62-nineteen years
ago.
Seventeen years ago, in 1864, Simon
Cameron, the head OF the boss system
of Pennsylvania, made himself Chair.
man Of the Republican State Commit.
tee, and assumed command of the or.
ganization. At the October election,
with all of President Lincoln's popular
strength as a candidate for election,
Pennsylvania was disgracefully lost on
the home vote, while Indiana and
Ohio voted Republican by from twenty
to thirty thousand
So disastrous was the result in the
October election of Seventeen years
ago" under the first proclaimed lead.
ership Of the Camerons that Mr..
Mcclure, who had been Chairman in
1860 when Lincoln was first elected,
and Mr.. McYeagh, who had been
Chairman in 1863, when Curtin was
reelected, were called by Lincoln and
Cameron to devote their efforts TO re.
trievc the defeat, They did so, and
the State was carried for Lincoln in
November by the home vote.
In 1860, when the Republican party
was a loose aggregation of iudcpend.
ent elements and when the name of
Republican had to be discarded, Cur
tin was elected Governor by over
thirty thousand and Lincoln by over
sixty thousand. In 1868, MacVeagh
was the Republican Chairman. Cam.

nation and openly opposed his rs.elec.
ton until within few weeks Of olec.
ton day. There were seventy.fve
thousand soldiers in the field dislran.
chised, but Curtin was re elected by
over fifteen thousand.
In 1864, just seventeen years ago"
as Field Marshal Cooper puts it, Gen.
Cameron took charge of the party
organization, had the popularity of
Abraham Lincoln to aid the party /;
bad ten times as much money as the
committee had in 1860 and twice as
much as MacVeagh's committee had
in 1868, and the State was lost for the
first and last time in a Presidential
year slhce 1856. Did Mr.. Cooper in.

LIBERAL, INDEED democrats, be
on the lookout for the annual vote trad
er who is now on the tramp looking
for a "dicker"l The Radical agent

illustrates it in this way; "Mr, Jones

a Democrat and | am Republican

ton on the Sth. tell you what | will
do: | will vote for two of your men il

not liberal proposition-two for one?'
Mr.. Jones, (DemocraO: ~ don't see il
in that light. Your party cannot elect
your Judges anyhow, and we will elect
ours without q single Radical vote be.

me TO help you elect Radical Treas

A HUGE MISTAKE The British
Government last week arrested Charles
Parnell, the celebrated Irish advocate
He is also 4 member of the British
Parliament, This step taken by the
Crown must result in revolution ia
Ireland, if the programme commenced
is to be carried out. We notice that
several regiments Of English soldier,
have been ordered into the dsaffected
districts, directed to disperse all noisy
gatherings at the point of the bayonet
Poor Ireland Bad government has
reduced the population in the past
thirty years from eight millions to less
than six millions, and if the policy now
inaugurated by the Government is con,
tinued to its conclusion, twenty years
from this date Ireland will not contain
three millions of souls

DrsCoURAoING TO THE REPUBLICANS
Cooper, the Chairman of the Repub
lican State Committee, last week, la
bored through two columns of type
without being able to discover a plaus
iblc issue upon which to recommend
his factions or his candidate TO the
voters of Pennsylvania. The Phila.
delphia EUening Telegraph, an indie
pendent Republican newspaper, takes
pity on the Chairman and presents
him an issue as follows: ut has but
a single issue, which is, Shall solita.
ry political boss, of little mental OF
moral worth, govern this great Com.
monwealth or shall the people them.
selves govern itT That is the issue,
and to it should Chairman Cooper dc.
vote all his facts and all his logic It
is an issue that must be met and an.
swered, for it can neither be ignored
nor denied"

The New VICE PREsIDENT.-Senatoi
David Davis, by the vote Of the Re
publicans and the chivalrous act oi
Senator Bayard in Withholding hi,
vote, has been made President pro tenn
of the United States Senate. Mr. Da
Wis represents n Republican constitu,
ency. He has been either too coward
ly, or too weak of intellect, TO declare
any policy or proclaim any principles
by which he would he guided as Il
Senator in Congress, and he has been
rolling around politically as he has
rolled around physically ever since he
came into high Office. What assur,
ancos have the Republicans who elect,
ed him that he will not bite the hand
that caresses him? He has done it
before and therefore obnoxious to sus
picion. With him in tho Chair, dare
the Republicans attempt any proceed.
ngs of party policy? Can they be
sure that the man they have elevated
will not vote on occasions to advance
the cause of their opponentsy By ac.
cident Or in caprice he may vote with
the Republicans now and then, but
who can say he is TO be trusted by the
party he has so often betrayed?
In Senator Bnyard, we had a man
whom we could have trusted always
to vote against the Republicans. A
dozen open enemies are better than
one uncertain friend. If the election
OF Davis will help tho Democrats to
elect the Secretary and Executive
Clerk (the Chaplain is not included)
the act was not wholly in vain. 1t is
idle and trivial in other aspects.
