THE Republican party of PennsvIva-
mia is rent in twain. a system of Boss
ism has prevailed to such an extent that
honest Republicans have been compell-
ed to desert the machine and support an
independent ticket. which is notthe way
it used to be when the Republican State
tickets were set up by the Bosses. and
the people either driven or caioled into
supporting the nominees. Among the
adopts at the Boss business are the Cam
eron Republicans of Cambria county.
About six men in Ebensburg and two OF
three in JohnstOwn set up their cnGTittv
tickets, and then cali convention Of
their own creatures to ratify their acts.
If this be doubted we refer to Messrs.
Frank BuTgoon, William Glass. Griffith
J. LLOYD and other well known Repub-
licans. who can, if they will, substanti-
ate the truth of what we say. The So
called Republican convention nomina-
ted Mr.. W, ". McAteer, of Loretto.
for Assembly. He did not wart the Of
fee, and could not serve if he was. elec-
ted. Frank Burgoon who is an equal
ly competent man desired the nomi-
nation. He was defeated. however.
and why ? Simply because the Bosses
wanted a man whom they could shuf-
de off the ticket on a bargain for some
body else Mr.. Burgoon would have
stuck Mr.. McAteer win not. He is a
Postmaster and therefore not eligible to
the Office for which he was nominated.
Mr. Glass and Mr.. Llovd were served
the same way last year forCOmmissioner
But that amt all, however, for the Bos-
ses nominate some men every year to be
elected and others to be defeated. we
refer to the experience Of Mr. John
kTatzer two years ago, and to that of
Mr. Elder and Mr.. Grumbling last fall
This year the hosses. have nominated
Harry Kinkead for Sheriff and expect
to electfhim by establishing a political
s'aughter-hOuse for all the other can
didates. Can such conduct prosper
Let us wait and see.

BEAVERS TREACHERY TO BLAINE
1t is expected that the accumulated tes-
timony as to General Beavers tTeachery
to his constituents and To Blaine in 1880
will array against bim the votes Of thuu-
sands OF Blaine men throughout the
State whom the Cameron rule alone
would not have driven from him. All
the evidence seems to point to a widen
ing of the breach between the Cameron
and anti-CameTon factions of the Penn
syivauia Republicans, and tie independ-
ents now claim that the Stewart ticket
will poll a larger vote than the Beaver
ticket. The result of this state of feel
ings cannot well be anything else than
the election of Pattison, the Democratic
candidate, which viii be thus directly
traceable to the determination of the
Cameron dynasty to ''rule or ruin. -

paid to his wonderful powers of intel

THE FIGURES 1sT, 2D, ETC.


THE FIGURES 1sT, 2D, ETC.
l. The evidence shows that the
ballots were rejected in obedience to
a circular known in the evidence as
the yellow Gil cular" The obiec-
tion to the ballot was therein stated
in these words, ''they contain the fig
ures 1st, 2d, &c, designating the
District, these are marks or figures,
which are prohibited by the election
laws; see Acts 1888, page To-,
That the inspectors acted on this
objection is onr apology for
noticing it. The statute pro-
vides that ''the ballot must be a
plain piece Of white paper, without
any figures, marks, rulings, or embel-
lishments thereon Does the use
Of the numerals, or figures, 1st, I'd,
&C., make the ballot illegal? The
word Figures, must be construed in
connection with the words marks,
rulings, characters, embellishments" :"
II construction SO literal as that
suggested by this objection be given
this statute, no legal ballot can be
written or printed, because the liter
al meaning of the word characters
for instance, would force one to print
or write his ballot without making a
letter, for letter is literally Char
acter." A rejection of these bal
lots because they contained the
letter 0, the figure" of circle, used
in spelling contestants name, would
not have been further from correct
construction of the statute than the
one which holds that the numerals
1st, I'd, &C., are figures" within its
meaning. The meaning is clear.
