LEAR WILL NOT OBEY.
Tho Chairman Of CamerOn's convention
veroly Critlcizes Cameron's MeIhOds.

Tho Chairman of Cameron's Convention Sc
veroly Crttlcizes Cameron's Methods.
Ex-Attorney General George Lear, who
was permanent chairman of the Irregular
Republican state convention at Harrisburg
has written to Senator Thomas V. Cooper,
chairman of the state committee, long
letter, dated "Doylestown June 81
in reference to Mr.. Cooper's call
for tho reassembling of the convention on
June 81, to nominate a candidate for con
grossman at-largc in place of Thomas NJ
Marshall, who declined. Mr.. Lear opens
by remarking that his attention was drawn
to Chairman Cooper's call by f. G. Har-
risOn, Bucks county member of the state
committee, who, although within thrce-
quarters of an hours ride of the Republi-
can headquarters had no notice of any
such meeting as ought to have been held
to authorize Chairman COoper's order.
Mr.. Lear then declares that he will not
attend the convention for reasons based
uron principle and policy. IIe goes into
an elaborate explanation of the causes that
have led to tho Independent revolt. Ap.
pointments arc made in tho interest of am
bilious politicians for the purpose of in.
creasing or perpctrating their power, and
conventions for tho nomination Of candi-
dates arc packed with delegates for the
Same purpose by methods inconsistent
with fair representation of the Kepubli-
can masses. The justness and truth of
these allegations, Mr.. Lear says, were
recognized and admitted by the peace
conference, to which Mr.. Cooper was a
party. Good faith requires that the COM
pact then made and approved by the
Harrisburg convention shall be vigorously
maintained in letter and spirit. Any other
course will be equivalent to an attempt to
obtain votes under false pretcnces.

AS to Editors.

The Philadelphia Times is fond of
charging against the Stalwart hepubli-
can Lancaster Examiner that it is edited
by a iiOwling Democrat. The Times is
not remarkable for the accuracy of its
knowledge about the editorship of the
Lancaster Journals, which yet it quite
often imparts t'ut supposing that it is
right in its conjecture that Mr.. IIiestand
has employed Democrat to edit his
journal for him, and suppOsing that he
is wrong in doing SO, is it for the Times
to cast this stone? The Times has, and
boasts that it has, men Of both parties
among its editors; why then may not
the Examiner indulge IN the same luxury,
free ut least from its animadversion Is
it because the Eransincr is Stalwart and
has principles, while the Times is indie
pendent, with none to speak Of?
The editor in chief of the Times has
been around among all the parties that
of the Eca0,ineI has staid contentedIy
in one and has feathered his nest in it.
That ought to make his newspaper a
good Republican crgan, and it may lie
that a Democrat is not the fittest man to
grind his machine. But by the same
token neither Democrat nor a Republi-
can is fitted to grind an Independent
organ, since Independence is not their
creed. 1t requires a mixed political
creature to becomingly get out the
Independent Times. He should have
Lad an education all around the
political arena and have rested no
where so long as to have achieved a dis
position to cling to any fixed principles.
The responsible editor of the Times
has been we'll qualified to figure at the

organ and SO far as we can see, if one
has the right to travel outside the ranks
Of his party for his organ grinders, the
other has an equal right; and for the
Times to abuse the Examiner for it is
only case of the pot calling the kettle
black. If the Eranliner is now edited
by a Democrat, Col. Hiestand has had
better luck in getting a man qualified
for the place than he had on previ-
GUS occasions, when he went down to
the Times Office for supply. And this
suggests the query as to how the indie
pendent Times could properly supply the
Stalwart Examiner with editors from its
corps, if the Examiner cannot properly
60 to any but Stalwart sources for its
music grinders.

Owing to the very cold weather to which

the different crops are in a very backward
condition. The most Of the corn plantc d
is hardly visible. Very few persons have
commenced planting tobacco and it is tho
opinion of nearly all Our farmers that
hardly half a crop of hay will reward
| their toll. The condition of the weather
during the present spring has been SO very
| cold and blustery that even our Oldest in
habitants have been unable to recollcct of

have not been entirely discarded, and
during the entire day fires are kept brightly

Tho 18th annual reunion of the survivors
of this regiment will take place in this
city tomorrow. Tho attendance is expected
to be large, although many Of the comrades
have gone to their eterna! camp since their
muster-out at Harrisburg in July, 1865.
1t might be we'll to remember that they
were the only regiment of Pennsylvania
cavalry which "marched down to tho sea-
with Gen. Sherman. And ut the muster
out of Shcrman's army they were retained
for service in North Carolina, and were
denied the privilege of participating in the

a NARROW ESCAPE.


Yesterday nerniny WIN. Ayars. late
printer in Washington, now sewing
machine agent in Lancaster, and Samuel
s. Dorwart, late in tho employ Of Harry
A. Diller, now also in the sewing machine
business, left this city with horse and
wagon belonging to Agent Eppler, and set
out to deliver two st. John sewing
machines, one to James Frey below
Quarryvillc and the other to Martin
Rincar in that village. At the first
railroad crossing below Rcfton, just
beyond the Beaver creek bridge, the
railroad runs nearly parallel with the dirt
road, and Ayars, who was driving, reck
!cssly got the team up on the crossing
just as the down passenger train, drawn
by the engine Lititz, camo laundering
along. Dorwart seized the lines and
pulled the horse aside, but tho step
which hangs down from the loco
motive cabin caught the hub Of the front
wheel OF the sowing machine wagon, and
vehicle, horse, agents and machines were
tumbled over, down the bank, smashing
the fence and rolled down into the field.
The wagon was wrecked, tho machines
were broken to pieces, and when the train
had stopped and the passengers had taken
Ayars and Dorwart out from the wreck,
it was found that the latter was con-
siderably bruised and Ayars' head was
badly cut. They were taken to Quarry
vile. DR.. Thad. NJ. Rohrcr sewcd up the

THE Democratic county convention
to-day was we'll attended, discharged its
duties promptly and harmoniously,
nominated a fit ticket and adjourned in
good time and good order.
The delegates to the state convention
are representative Democrats who will
20 there, ,uninstructed and unc0mmitted,
to act for the best interests of the whole
party.
For jury commissioner, the nominee
to which Office at least is certain to be
elected, the choice Of Mr.. VIM. Eli
maker is no disparagement Of any Of
his competitors, who were worthy men ::
but as Mr.. Ellmaker came within 4 few
votes of being nominated three years
ago, the place seemed to fall to him this
year by natural political succession.
THE way it strikes an esteemed cOntcm-
porary is that Mr.. Blaine took great
many words to state a very short deter
mination. 81 will be president Or moth

GENERAL GRANT has had his alleged
losses in Wall street denied through the
roundabout way of a Mexican newspaper
at third hand, passing through the Mexi-
can minister in Washington and the Mex
ican foreign minister in Mexico.
THERE is said to be scheme Oh foot
to put ex Senator Conkling into Secretary
Frelinghuysen's place, and Senator Don
Cameron into Secretary Folger's place, the
retiring secretaries being provided for by
sending the former as minister to Great
Britain. aud by inducing the latter to ac-
cept tho Republican nomination for gov
ernor of New York.
JUDGING by tho bill presented Congress,
the committee intended that the clouds
of dust which made Yorktown intOlerable
to the visitors, were to have been laid by
spirits of the most potent sort. The items
presented Congress contain such sugses-
tive details as 325 cases of champagne-or
$500 bottles-GS gallons of whisky, 90
dozens of quarts of sherry, IL gallons of
brandy, 81, ESQ worth Of cigars!
THERE is one newspaper, and only one
so far as we have noticed, that endorses
Senator Logan's position on the Senate
military committee as the solitary oppo-
ncnt of the bill to do partial justice to
General Fitz John Porter. 1t repeats the
old argument as to the legality of the
judgment of the original court-martial,
and to tho illegality of the body that, on
Il rchcaring Of the case, recommended his
restoration to tho army. That very con-
servative journal, the Philadelphia Ledger,
thinks it is amazing that in view of tho
terrible wrong done General Porter-a
wrong proved as clearly and completely as
anything about the war is ever likely to
be-that any man should stop to raise
legal and technical objections to the right
ing Of that wrong when a way Of doing it
has been pointed out.
