BIZ the last apportionment bull the
members of congress were increased
thirty-two in number. So far, of
this increase, the Democrats have
elected sixteen and the Republicans
sixteen, but the victory in Ohio
makes 1t quite sure that the Democ

and Pennsylvania to control the
forty. eighth congress.

publicans opposed to Cameron rule
have rebelled against the action
of the Beaver convention, and nomi-
mated an Independent Republican
state ticket, State Senator Stewart,
a popular and well known citizen,
at its head, for governor. 1t is sup
ported by Senator Mitchell, Ex-Gov.
Hoyt, Tom Marshall and other prom
inent Republicans, and has for a
basis $4,000 Independent votes
cast last year for the Hon. G. S.
Wolfe, who is now actively engaged
in Its support, aud which was drawn
mainly from the Republican party.
Its organization is being per-
!ected throughout the state, and
its friends claim for it all the way
from 100000 to 100000 votes, nine
tenths of which are Republican.
The other element in the canvass is
the labor reform party nominee,
Thomas A. Armstrong for governor.
and a full state ticket. They are or
ganizing quite thoroughly and will
poll between $4,000 and 100000
votes, two-thirds of which will come
from the Democratic party. Jay
Hubbell is furnishing money in
abundance to paid emissaries to
canvass the state and organize labor
leagues in support of Arm
strong, and many Democrats who
could not be beguiled directly
into the support of Beaver are
tempted by their plausible argu-
ments to throw away their votes
upon the labor candidate. These
charges have been pinned down so
closely upon the Republican leaders
in the last few weeks that this work
is about stopped, but the labor vote
will reach the figures above given.
For twenty-five years Pennsylvania

MUCH hope is entertained among
Democrats that Wisconsin, in No
vember, will follow the example of
Ohio. The latest reports from that
state give great encouragement to
this belief, and represent that six of
the nine congressional districts can
be safely counted upon for the De-
mocracy. The same causes that
wrought so great a victory in Ohio
are at work in Wisconsin, and the
German population of the state, rel
atively larger than in any other
state in the Union, can be trusted to
make the prophecy true, that Wis
consin will go Democratic by sur
prising majority in November.

INGERsoLL's exposures in regard
to the star route trials are of most
damaging character. They show
that notwithstanding all the oppor-
tunities the government had to make
out case against the star route rob-
bers, it so despaired of convicting
that it resorted to fraud and bribery
to make good the boasts of purify
ing the postoffice department and
bringing the robbers to justice. All
along this star route business has
been q most despicably conducted
affair, and while the verdict of the
public has convicted the star reuters
of all they have been charged with.
the methods the government has
adopted to confirm the verdict have
been of sort little less criminal than
the offenses committed by the in
dicted. Sadly we behold this degen-
Grafton in our government, even in
that which is now falsely called the
department of justice. But light is
coming. 1t dawned, the other day,
in Ohio, and after awhile it will re-
vive lost justice, and the people, once
more asserting power, will condemn
bossism and re.establish purity in
government.

THE emigration agents in New
York have long been engaged in the
very nefarious business of poisoning
the minds of foreigners coming to
this country as to the southern
states. Working in the interest of
western states, they inform lmmi-
grants that if they go south "they
will be treated as negro slaves"
and that "the south is no place for
white immigrants" These false
hoods have kept good many for
eigners out of the south, but they
are now beginning to discover that
it is for their advantage to seek
homes in that section. both for eli
matte and agricultural reasons.

GEN. BUTLER, it is announced, will
not take very conspicuous part in
the Massachusetts, campaign. He
will speak in a few of the larger
cities and give the rest of the time
he can spare from his law business
to organizing the Democratic partyl
He was, to begin with, an earnest
Democrat, and now, in his declining
years, he may really have returned
permanently to his first love. But
Ter is certainly one of the grandest
men on the American continent, and
if his heart really be in this cause
Massachusetts, may be redeemed.

Chicago, March 27.-The Canadian
visitors, who arrived yesterday, have
been spending the day looking about the
city in company with the board of trade
and city officers. They appeared on
change shortly before the close of the
session and were heartily welcomed.
Speeches wore made by various delegates
representing the chief cities of Canada,
all of whom expressed the hope and be.
lief that the near future would bring
their cities into closer commercial rela.
tions with each other and the shipping
interest of the great west. It was an.
nounced that this afternoon the delega.
tion would visit the principal elevators
and tomorrow would spend the day at
the stock yards, and on Wednesday
would visit Pullman and inspect the ca
ble railway system on State street. Much
attention is being paid the guests, who
represent large and important interests
in their several cities.
