box CAMERON stood alOof from the
convention at Harrisburg. OH the 2lst
inst, to nominate a candidate for
Congressman at-large. Marriott Bro
sius, Of Lancaster. was nominated on
the first ballot to fill the vacancy on
the ticket caused by the declination
Of Thomas NJ Marshall. There was
some clamoring for new convention
to choose an entire new State ticket,
but this did not prevail. Not a re-
Election was east upon Gen. Beaver,
the nominee for Governor, or i'm fact
upon any nominee. The dreaded
fear WAS i'm distrust of "bossism"-
and the highest praise was bestowed
upon the personal fitness and purity of
Gen. Beaver. Pennsylvania will come
calamity to the front however with re-
duced najorities, and the scourge will
make the Republican party of that
State the cleaner and Drawer for the
great contest of 1884. True Republi-
cans may dispute among themselves
but when II is the common enemy
they oppose they are not TO be dis
turbed, or are they vacillating or
cowarily.

The ridiculousness of the thing is

that prominent Senators and Mem
bers of Congress would take part in

rehensible, and this story i. one. But
suppose il is true the liquor men

effect would be To create crusade ON
the temperance cause, etc., and the
result would he TO strengthe en- those
they assail. Discussions Of any SEN
timent or cause or party enhance its
power and enlarge its vitality,
whether or not it be salutary or per-
nicious. The temperance cause, like
individuals occasionally, may appeal
to be saved from some Of its Oves-
Jealous adherents, as they may do
more harm than good. If the cited
item is originated for effect, il can
accomplish no good for the origina-
tors but IL there should be such a
