Call for n Convention OF Pennsyl-

many In the New York Legislature


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 22.-There is fun
ahead in politics ia this state. The
stalwarts, led by Cameron, have set
tied upon Beaver as the ring candidate
for governor, ard orders have been
sent to the organs throughout the state
to that effect. Meanwhile an indepen-
dent element is at work to gain CON
troll of the gubernatorial convention.
This element, when Camerons capture
the convention, viii fall into line and
support Beaver. The boilers are now
to take hand. Chairman Mckee, of
the committee, who championed the
| Wolfe cause in the late campaign, has
issued call addressed to the indepen-
dent republicans Of the state. He says
"You are earnestly requested to send
representatives from each county to q
state conference to be held at Phila-
delphia, Thursday, Jan, II, 1882, at 10
o'clock A. NJ, to take into considera-
ton the wisdom of placing in nomina-
ton proper persons for the offices of
governor, lieutenant governor. secre-
tary Of internal affairs, and supreme
court Judge, and such other matters as
may come before the conference look
ing to the overthrow of boss rule and
the elimination of the pernicious
'spoils system and its kindred evils
from the administration of public Of
fairs. 1t is of the utmost importance
that those fifty thousand unshackled
voters who supported the independent
candidacy of Hon. Charles S. Wolfe
| for the office of state treasurer as q
solemn protest against ring domino
ton, together with the scores of thou
sands Of liberty loving citizens who are
ready to join in the next revolt against
bossism, shall be yorthily represent
ed at this conference" This means
war on Beaver, and an independent
ticket if a ring candidate is nominated.
New YORK, Dec. eff there is any
statesman or politician expecting to
stop into the official shows of Collector
Robertson. it may rs well be under
stood that that gentleman proposes to
'stick" He says enough senators have
been secured to stand by him at all
hazards; and not only that, but that
certain changes he has been contem-
plating in the personnel of the custom
house, and which have been postponed
only in consequence of the assasslna-
ton Of the late president, will be car
ried into effect after the first of Janu-
airy. This NAV be accepted as the col
lector's response to the somewhat os-
tentatious publications in which the
''stalwart" brethren are Just now IN
dulging, in consequence of their sue
| cess ut the recent urinary elections,
which will enable them to control the
republican organization in this city for
the year to come, and to that extent to
stand as ipdorsers o. any applications
for office that may be made to the
president by persons within their pollt-
ical jurisdiction. 1t is clear that the
old wrangle between 'stalwarts' and
''half-breeds" is to be kept up as long
as there are officers to be retained or
offices to be sought. Next years con-
ventions and nominations will no doubt
be run on that basis.
The Tammany members of the leg
islature deny that they have signed any
pledge to refuse to go into caucus.
They say, however, that meeting OF
the Tammany representatives will be
held before Jan. to adopt some con-
certed plan of action, and that Tam
many would certainly demand recog-
milton in the organization of the senate
and the assembly. 1--WE do not pro-
pose" said Senator Grady, ''to go into
caucus and be gobbled up. We want
to know before going in what way Tam
many hall will be recognized.
