powerful He will honor by his pre-
eminent talents, unlimited capacity for
work and devotion to the public good

can come to the party by forsaking
him and joining hands with either the
bolter or ring candidate. There are
Republicans enough in the legislature
to elect Republican Senator if they
so desire; if they do not, you keep
your hands clean by standing to your
own honored nominee. Ii the yoke of
the machine chafes the necks of the

with you in electing an honest, able

this way they can beat the power of
the machine, honor themselves and
the State, and give the people sena-
tor able to properly represent them in

The coalition in Massachusetts, in
1851 wrought ruin eventually TO the
whole Democratic party; it gave poor
men to the Senate from Michigan and
Wisconsin in 1873; it brought shame
and disgrace on the whole country by
being made in Illinois in 1877; if
made now in Pennsylvania it will only
bring disaster TO great party growing
stronger day by day, and further
shame and disgrace to our great Com.

Mr.. BLAINE, the Luzerne Union re-
marks, is just now getting a good deal
of'praise from the Republican papers
for his efforts concerning the establish
ment Of a universal penny postal sys-
tenn, as if he were the originator of
the idea. History shows that George
Francis Train was the man in this
country who first endeavored to prove
that by the adoption of the system
generally, the postal revenues would
be largely increased. and he emphati-
cally urged its establishment. Blaine
in his later efforts is simply echoing
what was said long ago. The cheap
postage system formed plank in that
queer political combination that NOM
mated Vic Woodruff for President.
The adoption of a universal penny
postal arrangement would undoubted-
edly increase the revenues Of the Post
Office department and greatly facilitate
public convenience as well. When
Sir Rowland Hill, first argued in be-
half Of cheat postage in England, on
the ground that the revenues would be
increased, bis ideas we're secuted at as
being those of a crazy man. The
The British government, however, were
induced to try the experiment, and
general surprise followed. Il came
out just as Rowland Hill had proph-
esied. Indeed 1t went far beyond bis
own expectations. The increase in cor
respondence was enormous, and every
body wrote letters when they found
they could dispatch them for penny
Mr.. Blaine's efforts in behalf of cheap.
postage are to be commended, but the
credit of being the originator of the
system here should be placed where i
fairly belongs.

WEDNESDAY of last week was the
time fixed by law for Congress to couut
the electoral vote, and at noon of that
day Mr.. Wheeler, followed by the
members of the Senate, entered the
hall of the House for the purpose of
performing that duty. Mr.. Wheeler
was seated at speaker Randall's right
hand, while the senators were accom-
modated with chairs at the front rows
of desks. Mr.. Wheeler, after stating
that he was there in accordance with
the constitution p perform a specific
duty, proceeded to open the certificates
of election of the several states of the
union. At l:35 the count was conclu-
ded, and Garfield and Arthur we're
declared elected President and Vice
President of the United States. The
votes of each State we're counted in ac-
cordance with the published result OF
the election until Georgia was reach
ed. Mr.. Springer then demanded the
reading of the certificate in full. Mr..
Wheeler said that as it appeared that
Georgia's electoral vote was cast at a
day other than that fixed by the act
of Congress, it could not be recorded
until afterward. The count then went
on, and the result was announced in
accordance with the joint rule of the
two houses.

THE BARGAIN! 1t is said the bar
gain between Grow and Cameron, the
leaders of the boss and bolting fac
tions of the Republican party at Har-
risburg, places Grow upon the slate as
the Republican candidate for Cover

our friend Gen. Beaver. Well some-

IT is now thought that there is still
a chance for the passage of the Ap-
portionment bill before the adjourn
ment Of Congress. The number Of
members to the House will probably
be fixed al 3U7. This is an increase
of fourteen over the present member
ship. The bill reported by Mr.. Cox
fixed the number at 30l, and 307 is
supposed to be a compromise that will
be satisfactory to large majority of
the members. 1t is sure the House is
strongly disposed to favor this number
and the committee will not, il is be-
lieved, oppose the House when the
bill comes up again for discussion.
The present number is 293. At 30T
California, Iowa andA Michigan gain
one Representative each; Kansas gains
three and Minnesota and Nebraska
two each, making a gain Of ten in
these Northern States. Arkansas, Miss
issippi, North Carolina, South Carolina
and West Virginia gain one each and
Texas gains four, making 4 gain of
nine in the Southern States and
Maine. New Hampshire, Vermont and
New York lose one each. Il is curl
ous that the number S07 Is more favor.

The Senatorial Fight.

The change of candidates made by
the two factions of the Republican
party is about the only thing new in
the Senatorial contest ut the State cap
ital since the last issue of the DEMO.
CRAT. Instead of Oliver and Grow,
it is now Beaver and Bayne but with
the change of names the problem OF
an election seems to be no nearer So
luton than when the clashing and dis
cordant factions first grappled with
each other under their original lead
ers. Gen. Beaver is a citizen who has
served his country well in the past.
Much can be said in his favor Above
all of his party competitors named for
United States Senator, we deem him
worthy Of any honors his party has to
bestow. As between Republican can
didates, if Il Republican must be cho-
sen, the citizens of Centre county,
would, we believe, without regard to
party lines, be pleased should the high
honor of an election fall upon him.
But while this feeling undoubtedly
exists, We just rs firmly believe that
the sentiment of n very large majority
of the Democratic portion Of our com.
munity is in favor of letting the Re
publicans decide the matter Of an cleo
ton themselves. If General Beaver
succeeds, it should be by Republican
votes, and not with the help Of Demo-
crats. Democrats at his home do not
begrudge Gen. Beaver any political
preiermcnt or advancement that may
come to him legitmately from his own
party, but, without regard to persons,
they do oppose coalition with either
wing of the Republican party in Thu.

TnE well known and distinguished
member of Congress from New York,
Hon. Fernando Wood, died at Hot
Springs, Arkansas, on last Sunday
night. The sad news Of his death
reached Washington at noon on Mon.
day and created a profound impres.
sion. The Washington Post, of Tues.
day says that private intelligence for
the last three or four days had given
bis friends slight hopes Of his recovery.
For many years he has been afflicted
with serious affection Of the bladder,
and his strength was not sufficient to
enable him TO submit to an operation,
upon the performance of which his
physicians had long ago decided his
recovery depended. Without exag-
geration, it can be said that Mr.. Wood
died in official harness. His ambition
was to see the Refunding bill, Of which
he was the author, become law. lie
had made a careful study of the fnan.
cial history of the Government, and it
was his conviction that a three per
cent. loan could be successfully carried
through.
Mr.. Wood unquestionably hastened
his death by taking the part he did in
the consideration of this measure. 1t
was with great difficulty that he could
reach the Capitol in the last days of
its discussion, and his participation in
the debate was possible only through
the use Of strong stimulauts. 1t was
a matter of great qualification TO him
when tho bill was passed substantially
as he had prepared it. That done, he
reluctantly acted upon the advice Of
his physician and hastened to the fam.
GUS Hot Springs in search Of health
and rest" The hope of restored health
however was not to be realized. Mr.
Wood was native of Philadelphia
though in boybood he became resi-.
dent of New York. lie was in the
sixty-ninth year of his age and served
nearly twenty years in Congress.
