A SURGICAL operation will perhaps be
required to make the Philadelphia Ecea-
ing Ne~s, which published a recent in
terview with Thomas B. Cochran, of
this city, understand the facts concern.
ing the Independent meeting here last
week. This HerculeaD task will not he
attempted. Sufficient it is to say, three
fifths of all the districts of the county
were represented, and several of Lancas-
ter's wealtfliest and most influential
Republicans signilied by letter that they
were in accord with the spirit of the
meeting. The truth is not always plea
SAINT, but it is agood thing for an organ
to he occasionally reminded of.
"PATTIsoN at his desk - and Phipps a
fugitive.
ACCORDING to Cooper Beaver does not
wear the bronze medal he won ut Chicago
in 1880. Why not:
"PATTIsuN at his desk - and the Phil
adelphia city tax reduced from So. 25 to
s1.s5.
Nor 80 long ago the Harrisburg 1ele-
graph spoke of Candidate Davies as one of
gang of political! tramps and vaga-
bonds" How now?
JUDGE BUNN's Philadelphia Sunday
Transcript says that Pattispn has a "bad
eye" So he has; a dreadfully bad eye
for Bunn's friend Phipps and for other
ring thieves.
CHAIRMAN AL. SHENCK has sent out a
blue circular to bis county committeeman,
decorated with a picture of Beaver, and
above it the inscription "The Banner of
the Faithful" That is right. The faith
full Cameron henchmcn arc rallying under
it. And g blue " enough they are.
Tue Philadelphia Erening Neus has a
political stomach that can digest nails,
labelled "CamerOn, but Cameron's last
deliverance on the tariff is too much for it..
Accordingly it tries to explain what he
''meant' and what he had in his mind. ~
The Nccs is an "amoosin cuss.:'
THE New York San gives double loaded
prominence to u couple Of what it calls
"Orphic poems by John Swinton Of it's

MEN AND SHIFTS.
Some ships arc built for show, anu moi to sail :
But when such ships arc caught out in the
gale,
Down in the brine with :ll their crew they
go;
The gusty test hath shivcrcl all their show.
DENNIS DEALY's Sunday Mercury pro.
tests against the fashion prevailing on the
Pennsylvania railroad, near Philadelphia,
of discarding the old fashioned and famil
iar names of towns, stations and post
offices which for years back have become
moro or less endeared to the people who
have spent their whole lives in that coun-
try. Tho latest fashionable affectation is
to change Green Tree-not Paoli, as the
Mercurv says" but to the outlandish,
harsh, and almost unrronounceable name
of Dyffryn Mawr."
AFTER their long struggle the Republi.
cans of the Seventh congressional district
came to au impotent conclusion yesterday
DR.. Evans, of Montgomery county, who
lives very near to tho Bucks county line,
was nominated by the votos of majority
Of the Bucks county delegates and against
the wishes of majority Of tho Mont
gomery county delegates. As the nomi-
nation was conceded to Montgomery
this disposition of it will bo very unsatis-
factory to the Republicans of that county.
The Laosdale conference has done all it
could to cut down the Republican majority
in the Seventh district.
THE Chicago Tribune is high Republi-
can authority, and it seems to think that
the salvation Of its party depends upon
the destruction of Cameronism, of which
it mildly remarks
Cameron has made machine Republi.
canism in Pennsylvania moral mouster.
1t has made the machine party gang Of
political thieves, ut tho head of which
Cameron exercises absolute power. Tho
CamerOns must be deposed aud the party
rescued cr the party in Pennsylvania must
be abandoned aud left to go to pieces. The
only thing left of machine Rcpublicanism
in Pennsylvania is Cameronism, and
CanerODism is tho combination of every
thing that is dishonest in politics, corrupt
iu government, and disgraceful in practice
1t is time that the Republican party and
press outside of Pennsylvania shall &C.
lively demand that the party in that state
shall repudiate, reject and defeat tho cor
rupt machine. Its success means the ma.
tional defeat of the party in 1884.
