The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1881-03-18

THE Committee on appropriations in
the House at Harrisburg reported last
week, with Il negative recommendation
the Pittsburg riot claims bill. This is
bill. as we some time ago stated, which
proposes to indemnify Allegheny county
out of the State treasury by the annual
payment of a specific sum until the
amount paid by the county on account
Of the riots of 1877 is liquidated-the
aggregate being about two millions and
a half OF dollars. This adverse action
Of the committee, after the question had
been fully discussed before l., may be re-
gsrded as defeat Of the measure, at
least during the present session. If, in
any view of the case, Allegheny county
has a legal or an equitable claim against
the State for indemnity, so much Odium
rested upon the corrupt attempt to pass
the four million bill two years ago that
it would be a very difficult undertaking
now to get the honest, unbiased jUdg-
ment of the Legislature in reference to
any merits for the claim that its friends
might set up. The taxpayers Of Ale
gheuy county, who through the action
of their county commissioners have paid
the riot damages, and are now seeking
relief from the commonwealth, can lay
the blame for their failure now, if not
indefinitely, on William II. Ken-bIe and
his corrupt lobby agents in the first place,
and next on Lieutenant Governor Stone,
Matthew 5. Quay, Secretary Of the Com
monwealth, Henry w. Palmer Attorney
General, and Aaron X. Dunkle, Secre-
tary Of Internal Affairs, who compose
the Board Of Pardors, and whose dis
graceful conduct was so promptly con-
firmed by the official action Of Henry NJ.
HOyt. Governor of the State,
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1881-03-18

It seems that as far back as last June
Dr.. Wickersham, Superintendent Of Pub
lie instruction, gave Gov. Hoyt to un
derstand that he would not be a candi-
date for reappointment, and that the
Governor rendered the position to Dr.
CatteIl, President of Lafayette College,
EastOn. who declined it. 1t further ap-
pears that Wickersham refused to re-
sign although requested to do so, and
that during January last Il circular with
his consent, as is alleged, was sent
broadcast over the State Iauding the
Superintendent and charging that the
opposition to his reappointment came
from themen whOmanage what is known
as the machine in politics. in this
State. The circular also alleged that
this machine" element was eXerting Il
strong pressure on Hoyt against Wick
ersham. H0yt a short time ago asked
Wickersham what he knew about this
circular. and was told by him that he
knew nothing in relation to it whatever
Hoyt is indignant and has concluded to
appoint Rev DR.. Z. E. Iigbee, Presi
dent of EIercersburg College, in Frank
lin county.
