A PROFOUND QUESTION.


Colonel Forney, in a recent number
of his Progress, remarks:
"Why should the honest people Of
the interior of Pennsylvania be called
upon to vote pure ballots il every
year their voice is stihod by thousands
of false voters led by the Republican
iobbers in the city of Philadelphia
That question has been vainly asked
by our best citizens. A monstrous
evil was not only not denied by honest
Republicans, butregularly repeated by
the city bosses at every succeeding
election. At last it attracted the at
tention of the gentlemen Of both par.
ties in Philadelphia. The outrages
had become so notorious that, to pro
tect themselves, to secure their own
property, to stop overtaxation, and
the squandering of the public revenue,
our non-partisan men resolved to act.
For many years the authors of the
new reform scornod an active partici.
patton in politics. save TO swallow and
support set of Republican idlers, who
shouted a superfne and superficial
devotion to Republican principles.
Garfeld's colossal majorities last No
vember were one means Of opening
the eyes of good men TO aggravated
frauds that could no longer be conceal
ed and when, in addition, the rich
and honest Republicans of Philadel.
phia saw the way in which their thou.
sands were plucked and plundered,
and the consequent defiant elevation
of the worst men to the highest Off
ccs, they felt that they must come for
ward, or become consenIing parties to
vlllainies they could not deny. Then
they took step which, in It's first trial,
has filed whole people with graft
tude and joy, and arrested a great and
growing danger. This first trial al
ready proreS that at least a dozen or more
elections in Pennsylvania hare been de.
cided, since the rebellion, in favor Of cor.
rupt men By false mGjoritieS in Philadel.
Phid II has been a frequent and al.
most public boast of some of the Re.
publican leaders that they counted out
the Democratic candidate for Govern.
or Asa Packer, and the peoples can.
didates for Mayor, Colonel Mcclure,
and Joseph Caven, few years ago,
and that it wasa common thing to give
seats to the vilest men in the State
Legislature and City Councils who
never were chosen by the people. And
what | now say on this subject of
fraudulent elections in Pennsylvania
is not only no news to thousands of
men Of both parties in this State, but
is ono of several more that might be
truly related and accepted by most of
the Republican leaders"

How long the present line of conies-

not at all certain but it has the merit
of courage aud for that reason will
command some measure of respect.

not modified. The result was that the
sons of Ames have made most plausi.
bic explanation of the whole business,
and tho line of defense adopted for the
present campaign is that the Credit
Mobilier wasn't so bad after ALL and
that the time will soon come when it
will be regarded as one of the most
commendabe achievements of our
craftsmanship. 1t will require con-
siderable effort to get the average
public and Nast's cartoons up to that
point; but the organs are all solid on
the question now, and General Gar
