APPOINTMENTS OF GOV. PATTIsON.
Sone to Be Annouocsd Before January
Ist-seusiple Notes and Comments
on the situation.
Goyernor-elec: Pattison said yesterday
Il have made no appointments outside of
the private secretary, Dr.. Everett, and
none will be made Or announced until
January /, 1882
Cooper Unterrified.
The late Chairman Cooper, in his Dsla-
waro American, ridicules the idea that the
present low price of iron was induced by
tho Democratic victory. He says there
can be no possible danger to the tariff for
two years to come at least.
As Modest as no Is Deserving.
Philatelphia Press.
E. p. Kisner, Of Hazleton, publicly
says that he is not an aspirant for the chief
clerkship of the House Of Representatives
aud that he is not entitled to the appoint
ment, and furthermore he hopes that the
Democratic members of the Legislature
will have the foresight to select men with
special ability for the Offices to DO filled.
Mr.. Kisner is reputable Democrat whose
modesty is as great as his merit, and ho
has administered timely rebuke to tho
army of veteran Office seekers now NOV
ing towards Harrisburg.
Abate tho Nuisance.
Chamberburg Valley Spirit.
Let us hope that early in January VIC
may bid long farewell to tho vOluminOus
pages of the expensive Legislative Record.
A clear report of the daily proceedings
printed as promptly and accurately as is
done by the morning newspapers will
suffice. OF course such cutting down as
this will deprive many families Of an ex-
cellent quality of wrapping paper and keep
from many saloons the windwOrk of bud.
ding statesmen but the state can't afford
free wrapping paper for every family and
q printed spittoon for every bar room.
Sound Political Policy.
Colum bia Herald.
Democrats should not forget that one of
| the principal objections urged against the
continuance of Republican rule was that
tho Republican party made the public
patronage a subject of political traffic.
The Democratic platform denounced the
spoils system, and the Democratic candi.
dates were pledged to reform the abuses
which under Republican supremacy have
degraded aud disgraced appointments to
Office. Let these facts be remembered
and laid to heart by those who expect
places under the incoming Democratic I'D.
ministration.
No Fusion In tho Senate.
Ciearleld Republican.
The result of the election should be
lesson for us to profit by in the OrganiZa
ton of the Senate. We can thresh two
men for speaker just IS easy as We did fo
governor. Lot the Democratic senators
J 20 to Harrisburg and nominate their can
, didate for speaker and other neces
sary officers, as in olden times, ant
if the Stalwarts Or Independents wan
to vote for them let it be tailed. We hops
our friends will waste no time in outsid
work. 1t is the duty of the Radical sena
tors to organize the Senate, and if the.
see fit to vote for Democratic officers, a!
right. There is no danger of the TIVE
Radical factions fusins. Let the q Dem
ocrats stand up like men, and if any O
the other 30 want to help make the Senat
ready for the transaction of business, tn
way to do it is plain. Tho bosses" ant
Independents will never fuse. Our friend
can elect a speaker just as easily as
governor and compromise on no one.
Boom For Sharpe.
Chambcrsburg Valley Spirit.
Ono of the best ways for the Democrat
e = party to inaugurato the reform needed j
u Pennsylvania is to urge that its represer
II tatives at Harrisburg shall elect III
a Sharpe to tho speakership. The r.:r
q will thus add new honor to itself :'f;. q
more than will be possible in any othe
ono way during tho session to relnos
It from the Legislature the stignl
d which has SO long attached to it. Il
:, knowledge of men, his public experlent
. and clear understanding of duty, woul
" enable him to make up the committee
10 only with regard to the speedy and hone
L legislation desired by the people. II
administration would bo in marked COL
trast with that of tho speaker Of the la
k house in his eyes the roosters and rim!
r. sters would find no favor. Mr.. Sharpe,
" is to be remembered, is not without legi
l. lative experience. He represented th
70 county, with conspicuous ability, in Il
is house in the sessions Of 1862 and 1868. T
l. was also member Of the convention whi<
:, created our present wise constitution AZ
Il in that body was recognized rs one Of
5. strongest members.
