gagement with renegades from San
Carlos yesterday at Chevoin's Fork,
about iorty-five miles from Fort
Verde Major Chaffee, who has been
following the Indians since their
outbreak from San Carlos several
days ago, got them into q deep IA
vine and a fight began, as they had
no alternative. The casualties on
our side are one enlisted man
wounded, since dead five others
wounded, two dangerously Lieu
tenants Morgan and Converse, Third
Cavalry, wounded one Indian
scout killed, one wounded. During
the night the Indians broke, leay-
ing six dead bucks ON the ground.
Scouts report about twenty more

THE iRlUSTICE,.

SO long as the old ship is in dan

glory. The old ship is not yet in
fighting trim. 1t is drifting with the
currents, and it will drift until all
hands make sail, and steerageway
enough is gained 10 make the craft
obedieat to the helm Thespectacle
of vessel a prey to the winds and
waves on Il iee-shore is never enjoy
ed, except by those who expect to
make plunder Of the cargo. No
genuine friend OF Republicanism en-
joys the present situation of the par
ty, but men who make much pre-
tence of devotion to Republican
principles may probably enjoy the
spectacle. Frankly, we do not en-
JOY it. To us the situation is rather
painful, more because Of its revela-
ton OF human selfshness and reck-
less ambition than because OF its
possible consequences.
We can only repeat what we said
yesterday morning-that the Coop
er Committee, with 4 unanimity
practically complete, has yielded all
that WAS ever demanded up to the
hour of the concession Having
been urgent in the demand for z new
Convention, this paper can only
stand by its position and urge agree
ment upon that basis. Whatever
arrangements the respective candi-
dates may make does not enter iato
our calculations. IL they can settle
it for themselves, very well. And if
their settlement meets the views of
the people, so much the better. But
we do not intend to lose sight of the
fact that the candidates have less
power TO arrange the terms of an ac-
commodation than the respective
committees. In fact the candidates
can have DO power unless it be del
egated 30 them by the people at
large, or by the committees, vbe are
supposed to represent the people.
Nor do we lose sight of the fact that
to agree to new Convention is to
retire the candidates as effectualy
as If they were to withdraw in a for
NAL manner. the moment the
agreement 10 new Convention
should be signed, there would be no
candidates in the field backed by
any Convention Of Republicans.
The party would begin de moro, and
the people would have to designate
their choice.

ARABI PACHA DfVEHTS THE

The British Too Slow in Attempting
TO Avert the Disaster-The Strong
Position of Arabi's Army

ALEXANDRIA, July 2b.-Arabl
Pacha has diverted the Mahnoudieh
Canal, which supplies Alexandria
with water; but it is believed that
the greater part OF the cisterns in the
town have been recently filled.
General Alison, with several Off
GERS. has reconnoitred to "A point
within three miles of Arab Pachas
positions, which were found to be
very strong.
SUEz, July 20-The telegraph has
been cut near LAIR el-Dwar, and their
is no communication between Ras-
el-Tin and Suez. The Governor OF
Suez receives all his instructions from
Arab Pacha in the capacity OF Min
ister of War The Governor posi-
ton is consequently one of great
difficulty.
LONDON, July 20.-According to
telegram from AlexaL dria, dispatch
ed at noon on Wednesday, the British
were then preparing to dam the
Mahmoudieh Canal. in order to pre-
vent the water running off if Pacha
stopped the supply. Arab has ap-
parently been beforehand with them.
ALEXANDRIA, July 20.-Every-
thing is at standstill. Nothing is
doing and nothing is known. The
Roman wells cannot be filed in less
than fortnight. The fleet can con-
dense sufficient water for the crews
and troops, but not for the populace,
who must go afoat or retire to the
villages.
''The Suez Canal and Port SAID are
considered most insecure. There is
only small gun-boat in the canal,
and there are 1900 Europeans in
Port Said, with 700 Arabs. Several

THE kickers started out with two
objections TO the Republican ticket.
First The delegates to the State
Convention were not chosen by the
people, but were appointed by coun,
ty committee, and did not repre-
sen. the popular sentiment.-Sec-
ond Some of the candidates were
determined upon in advance by the
leaders. Now that it is proposed to
go back 10 the people, and submit
the whole question to a co nvention,
the delegates TO which shall be elect
ed by the people, they SHIFT their
ground, and demand that the Re
publican candidates shall be disfran-
chised.

candidates under any circumstances.
Nothing more offensive to free
people than this proposition to deny
them the right to vote for whom
they please, and nothing more M
sulting and dishonorable could be
proposed, than the denial of the
right of certain men to be candidates
for office. Tie men making this
proposal knew. that the ireemen oi
PENNSYLVANIA would never agree To
have the freedom OF the ballot thus
limited. or permit any man or men,
However humble. to be thus dis.
jraRcbised. They simply insulted
the great mass Of Republicans of the
State, and attempted to cast dishon-
or upon one OF the most gallant sol
diers of the late war, by this arbitra-
ry assumption of boss power this
effort to dictate to the people whom
they should not vote for.
Al Just men, all thinking Repub-
licans should not lose sight Of these
facts, and the more they are exam
ined and dwelt upon, the more will
/ it become evident that the position
assumed by the Independents is fac
tious, insincere, dishonorable and
based upon fixed determination to
destroy the Republican party, and
I if possible betray the State into the
hands OF the Democrats.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-07-26

Some of the objections urged by
individuals are worth examining
For example, when it is objected to
a new Convention that the inachin-
cry Of the party is in the hands OF
Stalwarts, and that they would have
it all their own way, 1t is plain that
the objectors do not quite compre-
bend the case. A new Convention
would he elected under rules which
would take the organization out oil
it's old ruts and place it on new
basis. But the Righteousness oi the
objections is apparent when It Is ar
gued by the same parties that a
withdrawal of all the candidates,
pledged not to accept a renomins-
ton. would be satisfactory. How
would that change the organization?
1t would not change it any further
than cali fo- a new Convention
would change it. The case would
not be altered except as a limit to
choice-which is no change at all
Whatever the Independents can al
ford to do in other respects, they
cannot afford TO plead the baby act
All the objections yet urged to a
new Convention are simply plead
ings of that act. As we said some
days ago, if either faction is afraid
to 90 before the people for vindica.

the party. This provoked "a violent
opposition from all ofthe other mem-
bers.
Mr. Petit made the speech oi the
afternoon, maintaining that II vacil-
lating, hesitating course would injure
the chances OF the party in Novem-
ber. He dwelt at length on the
impudent suggestions from the
maicontents, and urged bold, ag.

Ii would weaken the party, he arsu-
ed, to give the Independents promi-

THE propositions made 10y the
Republican State Central Commit
tee, Wednesday, are such as viii be
considered fair by all fair-minded
persons and will be accepted by all
who have any claim to fellowship
with the Republican party, or whose
professions of loyalty are entitled to
any respect. The claim heretofore
set up as an objection to General
Beaver was that he was not the
choice of the people, but was forced
upon them by the orders of Senator
/ Cameron, as their boss. 1t has been
offered 10 test this question and to
ask the people to say who it is they
want for the candidate. This seems
to be fair, and yet we are told that
the Independent leaders refuse to
even submit to that test. 1t has
come to pass that these enemies OF
bossism are in favor OF taking from
the people the power 10 choose their
nominees by a majority vote This,
OF course, is carrying out the prin-
cipal of the bolt of lSS0-S1, but il
was not thought till the present time
that it would be so openly confessed
The State Committee has done its
work well. 1t has put the case III
shape where it VIII deplete the
ranks OF tie independents of every
man who has the success Of the Re
publican party and its principles a
heart From this time forward i
may safely be said that the support
ers of the Harrisburg ticket viii EN-
brace the nen by whom The Repub
. hcan ark Of the covenant must b,
carried through the Democratic wil
derness. There has been no dispo
sition on the part OF the regular Re
publicans to drive the independent
out. We know that the party is no
. any too large now, and that we neeC
? az the old members and as MANI
: new ones as possible. The lamp il
yet held out to light the return o
= the wandering Independent, and w
expect the next few weeks TO see al
e back who are worth having. Ii i
now known and published to tn,
} world that the regular Republican
who have nominated Beaver, an,
> are going to elect him, are the onl,
men Of the Republican party VIII,
dare submit their candidates to
vote OF the people, and who are 10
afraid of the verdict. After the re
lection of the offers made by tn
State Central Committee, it will re
quire an Independent cheek tina
would silence the proverbial arm,
mule to raise the cry of bossisn
against them.

Now that it has been made APP
parent that the Independent leaders
have determined that theparty shall
not be united, hundreds Of Repub-
licans all over the State who were
inclined to cooperate with them,

for General Beaver and the regular
ticket. They do not propose to be
sold out to a new set of bosses who
aspire to rule the State.

There is not an honest, consistent
and loyal Republican in the land
who viii say the propositions sub
mitted to the boiters were not fair
and made in good faith, and that
one of them should have been ae-
eepted. The action oftiie Independ.
ents proves, as we have said all
along, that they are Democrats in
disguise, and that thev mean, il
possible, to destroy the Republican
party in their State, and turn over
the Government to the Democrats
In this we sincerely hope and be.
lleve they viii be disappointed.
They have now fully exposed their
purposes. and we shall be surprised
II more than handful of misguid-
