SENsENIG Stehman Mentzer:e
Is Hunsecker running for Congress in
both senatorial districts?
OWING to the pressure of local aud ad-
vertising matter upon our space to-day,
the usual form of make up is changed, ,and
the general news will be found on our first
page.
"THEN ring, sweet bells. the Joy Of earth
In Easter hymns to Heaven,
And tell the new Immortal Birth
OF man, by Christ forgiven;
For our dear Lord il risen indeed,
" - " A HIleluia Amen"
THERE is significant absence of abuse
of Boss Sensenig in Mr.. Hiestand's s
paper, and notable lack Of appreciation
of Mr." Senseaig in Mr.. Warfel's paper
nowadays.
THE readers of the Examiner are i'm
patiently watching for a continuation of
Squire Sam Evans "red-hot" cores
pondence against Senator Kaufman. Why
this sudden cooling off? Has he, toe, been
persuaded that "life is too short " to fight
old battles over. Philosophic Sam!
"RING out sweet Easter bells ring out
Tho world to life is waiting,
And Heavenly hosts in triumph shout.
The Joy OF man partaking;
For He, who died our souls to save.
The Lord is risen from the grave.
Alleluia!'
HAS the Examiner engaged go in a
Corner - to write up the "Castle in the
Alley" councils during the present cam
paign; Or is it true that Picayune's poll
tical prayer meetings have been taken
elsewhere, that Brother Geist's " revised
edition" has Sensenig's name expurgated
and that in Abou Ben Stehman's book it
"leads all the rest"
URlsEN Christ! Thou art the door,
The blessed Easter.gate OF lite
That opens to the day.
All praise, our risen Lord, to Thee,
For faith that maketh quick to hear
One word that Jesus saith.
We doubt whether if Thaddeus Stevens
were again to appear in the flesh, and
would pick up copy of the Press. he
could recognize it as Republican paper.
-Franklin Repository.
But then while Stevens lived he did not
even recognize Lincoln as his kind of q
Republican. The Press, by the way, does
not altogether regard Arthur as a Re-
publican !; it is in doubt whether he will
be "the chief of the nation, the head of a
party, OF pap-holder to a faction"
THE editor of the Lancaster Inquirer,
who for many years has kept an illustra-
ted book of his political friends and
enemies, pasting their portraits in it with
his own comments, finally dips into auto
biography and writes the following in-
scription for his own picture:
So often did he lie and so persstently
did he adhere to them that nothing he said
was believed, and every body stunned
him and looked upon him with contempt.
There is a naivete about this only
equalled by the candor with which its
authorhas changed his mind about Levi
Sensenig since he gave that statesman his
note for $4,000 to help him into Con
gress.
The Grant-Hayes order that federal
officers should not participate in party con-
ventions and political campaigns was such
a farce and hypocritical pretense that we
rather admire the superior frankness of
the present administration, which, through
First Assistant Postmaster General Hat.
ton, plainly tells its appointees to pitch in,
as it is " the right of every man to use his
best efforts to promote by all proper
means the success of all public and poll
tical measures that will, in his judgment,
be beneficial to his country" Any cross
roads postmaster who can't take this hint
is too stupid to hold Office under Hatton
and this Stalwart administration.
IT is not our business to make nomina
lions for our neighbors, and we have no
personal interest in the congressional
of our adjoining Democrat
C district made up of York, Cumberland
md Adams, but since the rotary system
has been recognized over there, it seems to
rs to be tho fair thing to let Adams have
