dead wood off its alley in getting the
Withdrawals of Henry Worst, jr., for the
Legislature, James Potts for jury CON-
missioner, Charles B. Kaufman for city
delegate and D. W. Graybin for delegate
from the Northern district. This insures
clear track.
AFTER all the loud clamor that the Mis-
sissippi darkey, Lynch, had been cheated
out of his election to Congress by Chal-
mers against whom there was a majority
of I, 100, the Republican majority of the
House committee on elections claims less
than 400 majority for Lynch. This
attenuation of the claim makes the coun.
try more tolerant of the Democratic oppo-
sition to the validity of any part of it,
THE New Era "has seen the local
Cameron ring twice disrupted, again
beaten aud demoralized." The first fruits
of one of these defeats was the election of
McMellen of another, Recorder Good !;
and of the last, the election of Sheriff
High, by bargain with that determined
enemy of Cameron, Jake Strine, who
named both of Highs deputies. Another
such "defeat " for the Cameron ring,
and Mr.. Sensenig's state senator will be
elected.
Politics arc not much more reputable
over in Democratic Berks than here in
Republican Lancaster if the experience of
old Adam Dundore, the defaulting county
treasurer, can be taken as guide and if
the allegations of the Reading Herald are
credible. According to them Dundore
spent Sc, 600 to get the Office, which went
just as the candidates money goes in our
local carnivals Of fraud "-treating the
bummers, loaning money to the borrowers,
buying off competitors, footing the bills
for the "expenses of "best workers ="
and paying the party assessment.
THE Fulton Democrat thinks the nom-
ination of Wickersham for charge d affaires
to Denmark looks like putting the
doctor off with a slice not ut all commen.
surate with his capacity, while the Clear
field Republicans idea Of the appoint
ment is that it is Ga mild compromise
between the two Pennsylvania senators.
Tho ex-state school superintendent has
been standing candidate for Congress, and
he might make tho landing eventually,
and obtain a scat rather too near the camp
ing groundof the senior senator, and thereby
give him some unnecessary trouble around
Harrisburg, Lancaster, and Washington.
Hence the senator has ordered Mr.. Arthur
to pack tho aforesaid off to foreign
country where he cannot desturb the
Stalwart camp with his Half breed growls.
The arrangement is cute one. Besides,
Mitchell gets away with a half 4 Loaf
SOME CamerOnian" has been tell
ing the Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun that the Mitchell confer
ence is only a device of the boilers to
"crawl back" as they SEQ they arc beaten
and want share of the federal patronage
and Of the state spoils. Mitchell will vote
for Rutan's confirmation like little man
the state convention will carry out the
Stalwart programme, and all that the
peace conference will do will be to afford
Mitchell and the Independents "a hole to
crawl back to tho fold.'' "We'll throw
them a plank of humanity, and if it will
help them to get ashore, they may make
the most of it," Meantime the kick ers
keep a-kicking. In Wilkesbarre yester-
day the senatorial delegate to the Repub-
lican state convention was instructed to
vote against Beaver and Rawle, and the
convention passed resolutions condcmning
Senator Cameron and favoring tho action
of Senator Mitchell. Wilkesbarre is
where Gov. Hoyt lives at home. Out in
Sam. Dicks home-ho being slated for
congressman at-large-pronounced anti
Cameron men were elected delegates to
the state convention and all elements in
Crawford county opposed to Dick success
fully combined, and carried instructions
for James E. Mcfarland for congressman
at large, a local candidate brought ont to
give Dick black eye at home.
