the Pennsylvania Republicans.
Last fall the Independents polled mor'
than fourteen thousand votes In Phiiadei
phia alone for WOLFE, their candidate 10
Treasurer. This spring Don CAsERo'
held out baiied hook TO catch WOLFE
and caught him, so some even OF WOLFE
friends say. At any rate, he received
nothing at the hands Of the Boss last We'd
nesday, when the nominations for Stat
officers were made, and 1t Is limited TIA
DoS CAMERON has ruined WoLFE's re
putation for independence by inducing hln
70 talk of coming 10 terms with th'
Boss.
Two men were nominated IN the Republf
tan Convention Of Wednesday last who
arc not Cameronites in the strictest sense
Of the term; but as the Convention was

IDENTIFY assumed that these two men VII
answer the Boss's purposes better thar
would some who make more profuse pro-
fessions OF devotion 10 his fortunes
These two were THOMAS Nj. MAR
SHALL, OF Allegheny county, nomi'
mated for Congressman at Large, and
Mr.. WILLIAM IL. RAwLE, OF PhiladeI-
phia, nominated for Judge OF the Supreme
Court. Mr.. RAwLE, though even now de-
claring that CANERoN's politics are damna-
bic, and that CAMERON knows well what he
thinks OF him, seems TO have been chosen
by CAMERON himself 10 be the nominee for
Supreme Judge-we guess, to please the
Independents Of Philadelphia, where he
resides, as well as to Kill Off WOLFE.
Mr.. MARSHALL seems TO have been nomi-
mated, not against the protest Of Dos CAM
ER0N exactly. but rather without his con-
sent. As il seems to be conceded that he
is a man Of uncommon'gifts as well as I'M
usual popularity, il may be that CAMERON
conniyed at his nomination.
At any rate, the ticket is formidable
one. 1t possesses every element Of strength
We fear that its general popularity, and
particularly its acceptability 10 the indie
pendents, may cool the zeal OF the latter
and give the Boss a new hold upon the
offices of the keystone state.
The CAMERONs, like CONKLNG, ARTHUR,
LOGAN, &c., are stalwarts. The lndepend-
ents are Hali-Breeds, OF BLAINE and GAR
FIELD men. Representative BAYNE and
Senator MITCHELL, both at present in Con-
grcss, are the present leaders OF the Half
Breeds. What the latter thinks of CANE
RON's methods, and what he intends to do
this fall. may be inferred from the follow
ing telegram, which he sent to friend in
the State Convention last Wednesday, and
which he has since declared he proposes to
stand by:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May 10, 1882.
Hugh Young, Harrisburg:
The slated ticket renders the conference
and its platform meaningless. Ii Is the
one-man power personified, against which
10000 Independents protested last fall, and
which they say they will throttle il they
have the chance at the ballot-bOX. The
independent convention can't consist
emily ratify this work. Independents
have been prescribed and Stalwarts
rewarded i'm our State ever since Gar
field was laid in his grave. | have made
every effort possible to harmonic the
factions. My election and allegiance as
senator are primarily due to the independ-
ent movement. will not stand and see it
strangled without protest. At such time
the personal claims of no candidate should
stand in the way OF harmony or principles
proclaimed. The only way this can now
be prevented is TO adjourn this convention
over for conference with the Independents.
Ii this is not done the war will be carried
to the people. II will not be the fault OF
the independents. JOHN |. MITCHELL.
United, States Senator MITCHELL could
wielda great influence in Pennsylvania il
the Administration would remain neutral
as between him and DON CAMERON. But
this Mr.. ARTHUR will not do; and there
fore the Independents will be placed at a
great disadvantage. Mr.. BAYNE, Of the
House OF Representatives, could also cid
Mr.. MITCHELL very much ii he Were treated
as are the other Republican representatives
from Pennsylvania by the Administration.
What these two congressman will accom-
.plish, circumstanced rs they are, we need
not now inquire.
To head of the Independents, CAMERON
caused bis Convention 20 pass series OF
resolutions in favor Of ciyil-seryice re-
form--a proceeding which might well
to laugh in their sleeves. III resolution
had been adopted by the Virginia Legisla-
tire at the close Of its recent session de-
clarlng IN favor of keeping all faithful Off
GERS in their places, and against proscrip-
ton for opinions sake, il would not
have been more inconsistent with the prac-
tice Of that body TIN are the civil
scrvice-reiom professions OF the Cameron
ties with their constant practice and we'll

The Democrats OF Pennsylvania will at
any rate have better chance than usual to
succeed next fall. They ought at least TO
be able 10 gain number OF congressman

discussions. 1t is high time that the Ma

were turned over to party that does not
owe its existence to the war and 10 the
troubles preceding the war. The Repub-
lican party Is out Of date. 1t has outhved
its mission. Let us all hope that the ma
chinations Of the Stalwarts may result in
its burial.
