II is surprising 10 what extremes some party
papers will go in behalf of the political Organi-
zaton they labor for. An able and respectable
republican journal of Philadelphia argues that
The democrats must concede the president of the
Senate TO the republicans, because should a
democrat be elected he will be so near the Pres
ident Of the United States that lit will offer a
temptation to the assassin" In other words,
the democratic party, or some member of it.
would strike down another President for the
sake of a few months possession of his office.
The suggestion is worse than absurd
The possibility of the removal of Collector
Robertson by the new administration is met by the
argument that according to the theory of ''Sena-
torial courtesy so stoutly maintained by ex-
Senators Conkling and Platt. he cannot be re-
moved without the consent of Messrs. Miller and
Lapham. That is; the newly elected Senators
must approve the selection of successor to
Robertson before he can be removed with pro-
priety.

Mr. Wolfe, the Independent republican candi-
date for treasurer of Pennsylvania is not max
inc such lonesome race as the machine bosses
predicted for him. The representative council
OF the republican league of Philadelphia, which
comprises some of the most influential republic
cans of that city. has issued an address urging
republicans to vote for Wolfe in order to crush
the machine and overthrow the bosses. Wolfe's
republican supporters estimate that he will poll
15.0c0 or 10000 votes in that city. Wolfe is ap-
parently in earnest and means to run the race
through. If he does he will possibly defeat Bal
ley, though. OF course, he has no chance of
being elected himself. The Independent and
reform republicans of the state take the ground
that this is most oppOrtune time for smashing
the machine; that there Is nothing at stake in
the canvass essential to the future success of
the party, and that the republicans can better
afford to be defeated than to continue under
boss rule.

There seems to be pretty general disposition
among the New York republicans to accept and
support the nominations of the late convention.
AL profess to be pleased with the ticket, though
the half-breeds are a little more enthusiastic
over 1t than the stalwarts. The latter, how
ever are sufficiently eated by the failure OF their
opponents to carry out their plan for upsetting
the machine" or stalwart republican OrganiZa-
ton ofthe party in New York and Kings counties.
to accept the situation with pretty good grace.
Mr.. George Bliss, who managed the fight for
the stalwarts on this ISSUE thinks the ticket is
q good one and will be pretty generally sup
ported by the stalwarts. He does not. however,
express himself as sanguine of it's success, as
it is an off year and the vote will be light one.
1t will not be safe. he thinks to rely for repub-
lcan success on the divisions in the democratic
ranks. John Kelly. in his opinion, will go to
Albany and be kicked ont of the democratic
convention, but for ali that he is shrewd enough
to support the ticket
To the question whether it is not absolutely
necessary to carry the state to show that New
York supports the President. Mr.. Bliss answers
I'm my opinion it does not make much differ
ence either way. 80 tar as the President is con-
cerned. You see, this state was carried last year
when Gen. Arthur was i'll control, and over
eighty-one thousand republican votes were
breeds are in power. Suppose they run a CAIN
paign and are defeated? What is demonstrated?
The people can draw their own conclusions and
however gratifying it might be for the President
To Know that his own state supported him, he
might be pardOned if he felt a little personal

Judge BlatchfOrd. of the u. 8. district court
for the southern district OF New York, has de-
cided that Tammany Hall is not entitled to re-
cognition as part of the regular democracy Of
New York county. The question of Tammany's
standing in the party got before the court
through the action of Chief Supervisor John /.
Davenport. In appointing supervisors of cleo
ton for the congressional elections for success
cesSors to Minister Morton and the late Fernando
Wood. Mr.. Davenport recognized the New York
county democracy CTilden's organiZation) as the
Regular party. He submitted the list of names
presented by the county democracy to the court,
which approved his action. Tammany insisted
upon the appointment of its list. maintaining
that it was the only regular democratic organi-
zatiOn in the county. Thus the issue between
tbe two organizations was brought sQuarely be-
fore the court, which held that as the last demo-
cratic state convention, the highest party au-
thOrity in the state. had refused to recognize
TsInniany it had no right to its claim of regular
ity. Judge Blatch:0rd said it was the practice
OF the courts in these questions to be governed
by the action of the state conventions. Tiden
seems To have the whip-hand OfJohn Kelly once
more.

Sorrow at Seventy.

The Supreme Court of Appeals de-
cided last Saturday that there was no
errer in the proceedings of the Cir
cult Court of Preston county, by
which Elihu Gregg was sentenced to
death for the crime of arson, com
mitted in 1869. The circumstances
of this occurrence and the proceed
lngs of both the Preston county au-
thorities and the counsel of Gregg
are still fresh in the memory of eur
readeis. The burning of the Court
House and Jail took place in 1869 and
in short time suspicion fastened
upon Gregg, who was shortly after
wards arrested while at work In
Fayette county, Pa. He was subse-
qusntly arraigned, tried and convic
ted of the crime, before Judge Ollie,
ofthat Circuit. Pending the execu.
tion of the sentence, however, he
escaped from Jail, loitered around the
neighborhood for a time, and then
went West, where for the next eight
or zine years he remained unmolsst-
ed, as no strong effort was made to
recapture him.
After lapse of these years, how
ever, he grew weary of the face of
strangers, and determined to revisit
the scenes of his old residence and
exploits, and again came east. He
was frequently seen in different Sec
tions of West Virginia and Pennsyl.
Mnia, and at last was arrested in
Greene county, Pa, by the Sheriff of
that county, and confined in Waynes
burg jall, subject to the requisition of
the West Virginia authorities. The
requisition came, but it was not po
tent enough at the time to take
Gregg from the Pennsylvania
officials, and long season of legal
wranglings snsued. carried on by the
late George o. Davenport, who, by
the way, was indefatigable during
his life time in his efforts to rescue
his client from the meshes of the law.
Attorney General White very at Iy
represented the State of West Vir-
ginia in these contests, and finally
succeeded in having Gregg surrenL
dered to Deputy Sheriff. Mitchell, of
this county, in the fall of 1878, since
which time he has been in our Jail.
There are great many other Incl
dents connected with the eventful
history of this septuagenarian, which
are familiar to all who have any
knowledge of it at all.
The case has been in the Supreme
Court for long time, on the grounds
that there was an error in the trial at
Kingwoed, and on this slender thread
the old mans hope of protracting his
life has hung.
While at the Jail yesterday re-
porter of this paper asked Mr.. Gregg
what he thought of the recent action
of the Court Of Appeals.
"When l read the action Of the
court" said he, "I thought it was
merely heax gotten up by some one
