principles Of the Republican party to

taehed, is not yet ready. The Gener-
al will be on hand, however, as soon
as he can discover that the party has
any principles fit for discussion. At
present the article is exceedingly
scarce and badly mixed, This is
about the only apology we can frame
for the failure of our distinguished

The Safe Ticket.

The Democratic State ticket has
now been before the people about six
weeks. 1t has been hailed by the un-
qualified appreciation Of the entire
Democracy Of the State, and no one in
the opposition has ventured an opin-
ion that the gentlemen composing it
lack qualification for an intelligent
performance Of the duties assigned to
the position for which each has beer
selected, nor impuGned the excellence
of character we claim for them in the
communities where they are best
known to the people. They are all
men of.mark with political and busi-
ness records positively unchallenged,
and unassailable without falsehood.
To have such ticket upon whom to
confer our suffrage, composed Of men
of unexceptionable merit and fairly
selected by the people themselves
where the election of each is a positive
guarantee Of reform and economic adj
ministration, may we'll excite honest
pride and graduation to every honest
Democrat in Pennsylvania. The mag
nifcent management of Mr. Pattison
our candidate for Governor Of the
financial affairs Of Philadelphia, by
which he saved millions to the tax
payers of the city and released them
from the power of the ring thieves,
atfords reasonable assurance Of what
he can and will do, if elected, Gov. for

WOoD.PULP MILLER's letter says
the N. Y. World, to a Postmaster in
Montgomery county in defense Of the
River and Harbor seal demonstrates
that he entertains very singular ideas
Of the duties of the Government. The
theory advanced by him is that the
United States Government is a busi-
uess concern and that its principal duty
is to get as much money as possible out
of the people and into the Treasury
and then devise means to spend it on
creeks, streams and ponds. Such a
thing as relieving the people Of taxa
tion does not enter into lis theory or
practice. The people should be taxed
to increase commerce, and because the
enormous revenues derived from war
tariff and war system of internal rev.
enue are now excessive, those taxes
should be expended on all manner Of
wild projects, so tnat taxation may be
kept up.
1t is also the theory of the Republi.
can majority in Congress, and most
faithfully did they work up to itin the
last Congress under the lead of Robe
son and Keifer.

Apprehended Indian Troubles.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-There is no
Disgusting the fact that considerable
uneasiness exists in army circles over
the regent Indian demonstration in the
west. General Terry, who is in com
mand of the division OF Dakota, is
scarcely so successful in Indian fights as
General Crook, who commands the divi.
sion of Arizona, and beside that an
estimate Of the strength of the com.
planning Indians shows that they mum.
Der pretty we'll toward 5000 fighting
men. Their warriors are said to be well
equipped and it will take a very con.
siderable body of troops TO successfully
cope with them. The experience of the
army has been that in Indian fighting,
where the Indian has all the advantage
of position in his own territory, it takes
two soldiers to every Indian. To get
together 5000 troops at one point in
the west is a feat which has not been
accomplished for many years, for to be
entirely frank, as all good newspaper
correspondents should be, that is pretty
nearly half OF our army. The leaders
OF these hostles are said to lie very
shrewd and able warriors, aud unless a
compromise can be effected the result
may be quite serious.
