EUGENE HALE, whose name appears on
the blackmailing circular issued to federal
oficeholders by the Republican campaign
committee, will, it is announced, defend
the scheme in \ speech in the Senate.
That may be good way to help the Re-
publican party in Maine out of its embar-
RAISING position, but it wont hurt the
Democrats any.

MarshaII's Plain Words about
Cooper.

PITTSBURGH, June 7.-"What do
you think of General Lear's letter 2"
was asked Of Thomas M Marshall this
evening. 81 think" said Mr.. Mar
shall, "that General Lear is anxious to
have the Republican party united.
Cooper has no more authority to re-
convene the Convention than you have
He is simply a member of the new
State Committee, which he has not
called together yet. The Committee
is the creature of the Convention. 1t
is a piece Of supreme impudence for
Cooper to reconvene the Convention.
The Independent and Stalwart Com
mittees should send the matter back to
the people, who can elect new delegates
to new Convention. ."-Philadelphia

The S,fuation PeriIous.

PHILADELPHIA, June S.-"The pres
ent situation in Pennsylvania" re-
marked ex-State Chairman John Cess
ma to-day, "is exceedingly critical and
perilous. Since 1860 the outlook of the
Republican party has not been more
alarming than in this State at the pres
ent time. All this sangcine talk by Reg
ulars and Independents about electing
either ticket without any trouble is
sheer balderdash. DO l regard rec
onciliation possible? 1t is at least
possible and might be brought
about on some such basis as this: Let
the new convention which meets on
the 2lst Of June draw up a series of
resolutions calling convention in the
latter part August, the delegates to
which shall be elected by the people
by all Republicans who voted for
Gariield-allowing no delegations to
lie chosen by county committees. Let
this convention, so constituted, pre-
ceed anew to place in nomination n
State ticket. Let those who favor
Stewart nominate Stewart if they can,
but let the ticket be the choice Of this
convention without regard to any can
didates now in the field On such a
basis | have no doubt the rank and
file of the Independents could be en-
listed, and Republican success assur-
ed :"
With marked emphasis Mr.. Cessna in
sisted further upon the Regular leaders
putting forth every effort toward heal
ing the breach, expressing the gravest
concern at the outlook, and depreca-
ting the disposition manifested in some
quarters to regard lightly the out
come of the detection
THE Democrats Of this county as
sembled in Convention, by delegates,
on Monday of this week, and
placed in nomination the following
ticket: For Judge of the Supreme
Court, the Hon. James Bredin Of this
county; For Congress, Lev. McQuis-
tion, Esq: For Assembly, Jacob
Zeiglcr, Esq, of the Heratd, and
ex-Sherif Hoffman, and for Jury Com
missioner, Daniel w. Wallet, Of
J eflerson twp, were nominated.
Hon. George III. Graham and eX-
Sheriff Hoffman were elected delegates
to the Democratic State Convention,
that meets in Harrisburg next month.

Famine i'm West Virginia.

DANvILLE, Va, June 1l.-Reports
from Patrick county, this state, are to
the effect that five thousand persons in
that county are starving. The drought
of last year greatly curtailed the crops.
In many portions of the county hun
dreds of people are crowding around
the settlements imploring aid. A
load of corn was received at the court
house few days ago. Before it could
be distributed hundreds of starving
women and children crowded around
the vehicle imploring to be given a
quart or peck of grain. A courier
just arrived gives heartrending accounts
of the situation. The court house is
crowded with men, women and chill
dren begging for bread. Three hun
dred of them had not tasted morsel
of food for two days. This county is
very isolated in the mountains. The
nearest railway station is forty-five
miles. In some instances as much az
5000 has been offered for barrel of
-four. Several wagons with relief have
been pushed out from Danvilc and will
travel all night in the hope Of saving
the lives of some.

GENERAL LEAR'S LETTER.

GENERAL LEAR'S LETTER.
THE earnest attention of the Repub-
licans of this county is directed to the
letter of the Hon. George Lear, found
in another place.
Mr.. Lear was the President of what
is known as the Harrisburg Republican
State Convention, of May 10. and it is
this fact that gives to his letter a
q special Importance. 1t seems be
was requested to recall that Conven-
ton, for the purpose of filing the va
cancy on the ticket made by the
Hon. Thomas M. Marshall, of Pitts
burgh, declining to accept the nomina-
tion for Congressman-at-Large on it
This recall he refused to make, on
the ground that the old Convention
over which he presided, had adjourned
sine die, (wlthout day., and thus was
dead, neither be or anybody else having
power to re-assemble it. Then Mr..
Cooper, Chairman of the State Com
mittec appointed by that old Conven-
tion, takes upon himself the power to
recall it. fixing June 2l, as the time.
This then brings forth the letter Of
Mr.. Lear, in which he discusses the
whole situation. He argues for a
new Convention. We have been
doing the same, ever since the second
Republican State Convention was held,
known now as the Philadelphia Con-
vention of May "a. We believe with
Gen. Lear that this is the only road
out Of the trouble in which the party
finds itself Let both Chairmen of the
State COMMITTEES unite in this call for
q new Convention and also let all the
candidates, as now on both State
tickets, unite in requesting this call
for O new Convention. This will Sc
cure but one ticket, and union and
harmony will follow The Kcpubli-
can party can elect one State ticket,
but it cannot elect too. Any other
course than union now will be blind
ness and folly, and certain defeat.
We give the opinions Of other emf
nent Republic ins also on this matter,
all agreeing with Mr.. Lear.
If there should be any Of the old
delegates obey the Cooper call, which
they need not and should not do, then
le. them, instead oflilling any vacancy,
proceed to find out the way to har-
mony and union, and propose it in the
interest Of but one ticket and peace.
If they lead in this direction we have
no doubt all questions can be amicably
adjusted and but one State ticket be
before the party.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 16.-The new Board oil
Directors of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Com
pany met for the first time at to-day. The meeting
was marked by unusual procedure the board as Mr'
Gowen said, merely taking up tho work where they
dropped 1t after their defeat year ago. Ne aluson
was made to Mr. Governs deferred bond scheme, OF
which the pr sden said that the stockholders having
approved it, he supposed it would be put into execution
at once.
The board appointed Francis p Kaereher secretary OF
the Coal and Iron Company, OF which he has hitherto
been the auditor and made j. NJ. Wrestling, who was
bOOkkeeper the auditor OF the Coal and Iron Company
These promotions caused by the election OF Mr.
Foster as secretary of the railroad company lie was
previously secretary OF the Coal and Iron company.
The stock of the Reading Railroad which on the day
OF the election stood NJ $33 per share continued TO Ia
until this morning 10 reached its Lowest hgure3Oa.
During afternoon the stock rallied and several large
lots were disposed of at 81 The decline Is SAID by some
to owing to the fact that brokers who had held the
it, while others claimed that the fall could be attributed
to a fear that the McCamOnts intended parting with
their large holding. ,
In an interview with President Gowen to-day he said
that of the McCalmOnt stock was being sold and
the throwing OF large block on the market naturally
depressed the stock but the disturbance be only
temporary as many Of his friends in LsndOn and New
York stand ready buy largely Tue stories about the
interference with the harmonious management OF the
coal trade due to Mr.. yanderbits interest he pro
pOunced "bOsh" and added that the arrangement that
Mr Vanderbilt has made is OF the highest impOr-
lance to the Reading Railroad Company
