THE ELECTION IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Cameren's View OF the situatioh-The Elec
tion Of Marsrauft In 1879.


tion Of Martrauft In 1873.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Notwithstanding the
outlook for the Pennsylvania election. Don
Cameron and his lieutenants have good degree
OF confidence. One element essential to success
the Cameronians possess largely. 1t Is faith
in themselves and their ability to accomplish
results in the face OF towering obstacles. As to
this they 60 back to 1879. when. contrary to
every prospect. the perfect confidence Of the
opposition. and inherent probability. Hartranft
was net only elected Governor. but by ma
jority SO great as TO be absolutely astounding.
It being little less than 10000. Six weeks be-
fore the election. to all appearance. he was as
certainly beaten by o majority ranging any
where from twenty to nifty thousand as q can
didate was ever supposed to be before the cleo
ton. One week before election day. Buckalew
the Democratic candidate. having travelled the
State over and seen for himself. would consent
to not O vote less than 20. 900 majority-he pre-
ferred to say 1t would be twice that. He was
confident. furthermore. that he was gaining
every day. His best fgurers shared In this
view. When the returns came in he and thoy
were out Of the way about 200 votesl
Now and then may not be parallel cases. or
possess much similarity in the estimation OF
many. But history is suggestive Apparently
the task Of the Cameronians Is not more diff
some marks OF similarity. There we're boiling
Republicans all over the State then. The Tom
Marshalls were everywhere then as now.
and there was for long time an
apathy in the ranks OF the Republic
cans. growing out OF peculiar causes.
which was match for anything existing now.
There is one circumstance in favor OF the regu-
lars now which did not exist then. 1t is the
Labor organization. which. according to ex-
perience. will take five votes from the Demo-
Gratis for every one 1t takes from the Re-
publicans There were but two organizations
in the field then: the Democratic. reinforced
by considerable body Of Republicans who had
declared for Greeley. and the regular Repub-
licans who. as now were put on their mettle In
life-or death struggle. 1t was undoubtedly
one OF the hardest fought battles known to our
politics and it is q remarkable fact that many
OF the Republicans who were boilers then, CO.
operating with the Democrats. are boilers now
In this and other respects there are points OF
similarity between now and then. The hour OF
the Cameronians may have come. nevertheless.
There are many outward reasons for thinking
SO. But they do not think so. and have squared
themselves for tho hardest and tho peculiar
work at which they are old hands, There may
be good deal in this This is one way to look
at the Pennsylvania struggle.

Several hundred Republicans in Buffalo,
headed by the Hon. SHERMAN 8. ROOMS and
other men of high character. have issued an
address to the Republicans of the State urging
them to repudiate the Fraud and Forgery

We believe that to support such candidates would be an
endorsement OF the methods by which they nomi
mated and constitute abettors OF the frauds
81 which we complain. We ask all Republicans who be

Touching the EDISON incandescent light,
we have received the subjoined communication:
"TorHH EDITOR The sUs-Sir: The statement copied
from the American Gas Light Journal which appeared

In order that the value OF this denial may DO

from tho Gas Light Journal:
Ills information derived from an electrician Just

the greatest disappointment OF his lfe-the complete
failure Of his attempt to light $500 houses with his in
candescent lamps by his underground system of wires
but fifty houses could be lighted the electricity being
conveyed away owing to imperfect insulation. As the
insulation supposed to be perfect the conclusion
that underground conductors cannot be made work"
1t seems to us that Mr.. EDISON should be
more explicit. and not throw the burden on the
public OF ascertaining the facts. Does or docs
not his underground system suffice to light
$500 houses ? Does 1t at present light more
than fifty houses2 And was or was not an cleo
trician summoned to New York for consulta-

daily use and that Mr.. EDISON was not greatly
disappointed arc entirely consistent with the
conclusion that his underground conductors
cannotbe made to do the work laid out for them.

Mr.. j. A. WALTERS Of Milford, Ga, who
predicted that at exactly 0 o'clock yesterday
the comet would run into the sun. and that
darkness would invade the earth for seventy
two hours. and that the West would be engulf-
ed by an earthquake. appears to DO somewhat
of his reckoning. Yesterday was anything but
dark day in this region. On the contrary. 1t
was for the most part one Of the golden days
peculiar to October in this State. We have not
heard that tho West or any part Of 1t was en-
quilted by an earthquake. Mr.. j. A. WALTERS

comet and the earthquake. and. in view Of the
failure Of his prophecy. 1t 10 doubtful whether

The Commission Of experts has declared
tho heavy stone ceiling Of the Assembly Cham
Der in the new State Capitol to be unsafe. and
the costly piece Of architectural folly will have
to be taken down to prevent Its falling. To re-
place IL with suitable ceiling will cost the
taxpayers 100000 more. The Capitol Com
missioners have neither money nor authority
to raise any. An extra session Of tho Legisla-
ture has been suggested. but that would cost
more than the ceiling. On the other hand. It Is
not safe to use the chamber in It's present con-

to keep Gov. CoRNELL's mind diverted from

Il WORD FROM THE C. Il. i. c.
To the friends of constitutional prohibit
ton in Minnesota.

To the friends of constitutional prohibit
ton in Minnesota.
The Constitutional Amendment
Agitation Committee desire to say
that the time for action has come.
Let that action be prompt, persistent,
fearless, effective. The enemy is
thoroughly aroused, and will fight us
at every step. He has learned by
experience, and means to profit by it.
If our vigilance is only equal to his,
we shall win, because God and the
right are on our side.
We recommend
LIST. That Mass Conventions in
the interest of Constitutional Prohl-
bition, be held as speedily as possible
in all the counties in the State. If
county conventions are not practical
BILE everywhere, then hold Senatorial
District conventions. Take the mat
ter into your own hands this fall.
2nd. If neither party shall nomi.
nate candidates favorable to the sub
mission of the question Of Coustitu-
tional Prohibition to the people, then
we advise that candidates be nomi'
mated who will so vote.
And let us all be careful and see
that no mistakes occur. A man who
will not pledge himself to you, is
doubtless already pledged to the
other side. Be not deceived. Every
member of the next legislature will
be obliged to vote yes or no on thi:
question, Will you allow the
people of Minnesota to govern them
selves in respect to the manufac
ture and sale Of Intoxicating liquors!'
A constituency has a right to know
before hand how its representative
are going to vote.
Call the convention; arrange fo
speakers; send to us for suggestions
programmes, etc. The object of thes'
conventions is to arouse public senti
ment prior to the election.
Sd. Attend the primary meet
ings where the real work is done, ant
see to it, if possible, that the Repub
lican and Democratic parties nomin
/ ate men who will, if elected to tn
legislature, vote to submit the ques
ton Of constitutional prohibition t
the people.
4th. If either party shall nomi
nate candidates who will vote 70
such submission, we trust you wi
vote for such candidates without re
spect to their politics-whether Re
publican or Democrat, thus maxim
the submission of the constitutions
amendment the paramount questio
in the election.

Church Support.

4 gentleman connected wi5h one of
 the churches of Tucson, and who knows
 well of what he speaks, says the protes-
 tant churches of this place are lar: ly
 supported by outside contributions. For the current year the money furnished by Eastern church assoclations will amount to not less than ten thousand dollars. For the year succeeding the present one 1t is estimated that the revenue from the same source will foot up to double that amount. Such a statement, however true, tC the unInItiated hardly seems probable, lnasmuch as portion of the churches were, until quite recently. without pastors and the improvement made On the church property will hard ly amount to Oue-teuth of the figure gwen, and more than that was raised by home offerings.
 The salaries. pGid.to tue, ,elafs --D-''.t.. ,-.. tQr=~rrs .-.- r,,,a church Is in arrears hand .Qyi1hIhnt'isurrs pay, to say nothing Of the mortgages that clouds the title Of more than one house of worship Tn Tue son.
 If the sums stated are being received it IS difficult for an outsider to see what becomes of them, and 1t would be none of their business but for the complaints made that the leading men and public dc not give the churches proper support. Furthermore It is predicted that unless such support be accorded then one or more Ofthe churches must suffer dis solution. The amount needed could undoubtedly be raised. but before seek ing other than their present support, it would not be amiss tO account for that already received.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Tonight the fight will be over and the battle lost or won. In these cleo tions especially where they are decided more upon personal than political grounds, there is more or less bitter ness engendered. Now that 1t is all over this should be forgotten and good citizens should resume their usual avo- cations with the hope and trust that the nev officers elected, to whichever party they belong, will prove competent and efficient officers. IL is one Of the pecu- haHyies of the American people that t1e average citizen manages to fill al- u.st any position in which he may be placed by the accident of politics or ciregmstance with reasonable success. Our people possess that power of adapt ability. So ii the person some thought best qualified to fill thls or that posi- ton is not elected, they must not lm- aElue that the world will cease to re- volve upon its axis and fly off on a tan gent or the sun or moon will stand still ss ID tue days of Joshua, for none Of these things wlll occur. The world will move in its wonted way, public business will not materially suffer and before an- other two years roll around, however much some are disappointed now they may be ready to concede that it was all for the best.
 Tothe successful We say bear it with moderation. To the defeated we say hearit with philosophy.
