The Case Clearly Stated.

The New York Tribune thus tersely
and correctly sums up the Republican
situation in Pennsylvania
1t is absurd to say that General Beaver has
any chance 'of being elected He could not be
ifthe In dependent ticket were out OF the field
He simply blocks the way. The Independents
say lac represents BossSm, against which they
are fighting, and that so long aS he stays in The
field they will stay. Upon him and not upon
them rests theiresponSibility Of the threatened
disaster. Senator Cam eron put him in the field
in the face Of the indie pendent protest because
he did not believe th { Independents would dare
To continue their opposition. He has founu ont
now that he misca lculated but rather than re-
treat he will def eat The party. Let the rcspons-
ibiiiy De put where il belongs upon The Boss
system We nave been hoping that the Repub-
nclns OF the State would rise in their might and
save the party from defeat by diSpalring the
Boss before election day. Perhaps they will
yet, but the prospect is not encouraging.
The responsibility is just "whcre it
belongs, upon the Boss SYSTEM" and
no ingenuity of machine leaders or Of
weak -kneed, half,shell Independents
can delude any intelligent voter on the
subject.
1t is absurd to say,that Beaver can be
elected, and every plan now contem-
plate to debauch Democratic votes to
make up the independent detection,
will only multiply independents and
demoraliZe the machine followers.
The open boast by Cooper and Beay-
er that lage numbers Of Democratic
votes aIe TO be secured for Beaver, will
make the delivery Of the promised
Democratic votes impossible, and must
drive thousands Of honest Republicans
fiom the Boss lines.
By-and by Cameron, Cooper anu Bca-
yer will learn that there is now popu-
lar flood against Bosses and spoilsmen;
and us fast as they stop one overflow,
two will break out to give vent to the
irresistible tide that can take no pause
