TIi;; I5AII.Y CONVENTION.

Viewed by Ssarnc!l Republican News
paper
New Era Baily Organ.
The [ Republican state convention was
controlled by the influence of the pardon
board. Tie action of that board was con
denlned by every honest man in the state.
Even to this day no reputable citizen has
the haGdihood to attempt to justify or
even apologize for that action. Attorney
General Palmer, who acted as floor mana
ger of the convention over which Pardon
Boss Quay presided, declared only day
ortwo before the outrage was consummated
that he would rather lose his right
hand than consent to tho pardon
Of the legislative bribcrs. He knew
it was an outrage and yet he sinned
against the light when the bosses de-
manded the sacrifice. 1t was known that
when Treasurer Butler was ready to enter
upon the discharge of his official duties
that there was y large deficiency in the
treasury, the money having been used by
members of the administration and those
in its confidence for speculative purposes,
which they were unable to make good
at honest Farmer Butler's demand.
After more than a weeks delay the mat
ter was put in such shape as to be
satisfactory, for the time being, to the new
but it was by no means salts
factory to the retiring treasurer, who
had been in ignorance of what was going
on until he was called on for settlement,
and would not have been satisfactory to
the people had they known the real facts.
These facts were known to the men who
control of the state convention
and because they were known to them
they obtained from the convention an un-
qualified endorsement of an administra-
ton whose members had outraged justice
and public sentiment by pardOning legis-
lative bribers and some of whom had
been specula,ing upon the public funds in
of law and had been caught

The result is that tho great Republican
party of Pennsylvania is to-day placed in
an anomalous position. With an over

EVENING, OCT. IL, 1881.
Innocent and Ignorant.

Governor HOyt, We are glad to say,
promptly denies the allegation of Mr..
Wolfe that he has been engaged with
Secretary of State Quay and the late
cashier of the treasury in speculating in
oil with the funds of the state. He
affirms that he has never been in anv
way an owner of Oil, nor has he ever
been connected in a business way with
Secretary Quay, Senator Cameron or
would-be-Senator Oliver; nor has he
sought to influence the taxation Of oil
derricks by the Legislature. He gives to
all of Mr.. Woile's charges an explicit
denial, and we repeat that we are glad
that he is able to do it, nor are we disau-
pointed; for Governor IIoyt's char
acter is much better than that of his
political company among the pee
pie of the state, and it is not sur
prising that man of his gentlemanly
instincts and self-respect should have
been above the low b lsiness with which
Mr.. Wolfe charges him. In the matter
of the pardon Of kerbic ard the
handling Of the Mollie Mcguire vote
Governor IIOyt seemed to have touched
pitch but We know nothing else in his
public record to challenge the confidence
of the people in his entire integrity.
But what of Mr.. Wolfe : The cham
plOn of reform seems to have got himself
into a hole. The one thing which he
needed to avoid was the bringing Of
false accusations against the members
of the party which he has set himself
out to purify. There is such an ab.lnd-
ance of solid ground for him to stand
upon in assailing the proved scamps who
control the Republican organization that
we did not suspect that Wolfe would be
guilty of the folly of sprnging his trap
against any one whom it would not
catch. That is :. sort of indiscretion
that is worse than Il crime in his present
undertaking. He needs to prove his case
against the governor or show I'd caus,
for his suspicion, if he would maintain
himself before the people We believe
he reached out too far when lie under
took to throw the governor in among
the wild beasts, and he is likely to find
him something of a Daniel on his hand;
About the other creatures doubtless he
has made no mistake. The governor is
a trilie too innocent when lie iulinatcs
his opinion that the people won't believe
there has been anything wrong in the
treasury. We believe it. and know it
and so does Governor IIoyt. Wherefore
his pretence of ignorance ?

the advent of every winter with the fol-
lowing eloquent speech: "Fiour in dc

THE OHIO ELECTION.

4 Largely Reduced Republican Majority.
Returns Cf the election in Ohio, held
yesterday, indicate the re election of Fos-
ter, Republican, for governor by a major
ity conceded by the Democrats to be about
5000. The total vote in the state showed
a falling off of nearly One-fourth compared
with that Of last year, and reduced Re-

Hair.Splitting.

The adherents of Sim0ntcn for the
Dauphin juigeship pretend TO believe
that the vote of Dauphin county alone
will decide his election. since that is the
judicial district and Lebanon is but an
attachment to ii. That is the idea upon
which the claim is made as nearly as We
can understand it; though it seems SO
himsy AS to be hardly appreciablc to the
sense-ccrtainly it is unappreciablc TO
common sense. Every man of ordinary
intelligence will undertake at once ode.
eide that when Lebanon county is added
to the Dauphin Judicial district, the
voters Of Lebanon are adde,! to the
voters of Daup!li,, as the body to
whom the election of the Judge of the
district is entrusted and no such per
son can he persuaded that there is any
thing in the constitution, Tie laws or
the decisions Of the courts which will
maintain the absurdity that only the
voters OF Dauphin can vote for the Judge
of Dauphin and Lebanon. That PROPOSE
tlOn settles itself rs soon as it is stated
to the ordinary apprehension ; but not
to the extraordinary minds of Simonton
and his friends. And it seems to lis
thai herein is a very sufficient reason
why Simonton should be rejected as a
candidate fer judge. Manifestly he is
