A Temperance Dellverance.

HARRISBURG, Pa, January 90
The State Temperance Convention ad-
journed to-day, after adopting series of
resolutions having for their object the
early submission of the constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manufao,
ture and sale Of intoxicating liquors
for drinking purposes to the people of
the State. One Of the resolutions urges
the election OF members of the Legisla.
ture in 1882 who are friendly to the
submission of the amendment. Another
urges the modification Of the present
license laws 10 the interest of temper
ance Another urges the support of
all efforts for prohibition in the nation
al domain over which Congress has
jurisdiction; and another, all possible
encouragement to temperance training
in Sunday and other schools in the
State; and anothsr opposition to the
uenoniination and election of all men,
bers of the Legislature who last year
voted against the prohibitiory constI-
tutional amendment legislation.

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Allegheny county Republicans have
taken = step in the right direction to.
wards their being fairly represented in
the coming State Convention. For
some years past the delegates from
old Allegheny have been chosen by
committees, and these often in very
quiet way. The result has been that
her delegations to State Conventions
have Joined hands with those of Phila-
delphis, as was doubtless the object in
their being chosen as they were. The
two delegations, Philadelphis and AL
legheny, combining were large enough
to control most of the State nomina-
tions that have been made in late
years. And herein was the secret
power Of the 'bosses" displayed and
their interest always promoted. But
now the Republicans Of Allegheny are
going to be heard. Conventions have
been called in every Legislative dis
trict Of the county, for the purpose Of
selecting the delegates to the State
Convention. This is q direct appeal

COMBINING THE STAL-
WARTS.

Scoville, in his speech defending
Guiteau, made the following argument
as to the part Conkiing, Grant Il Co.
should bear 10 the matter. While we
canpot agree with him that these men
have any present. conspiracy or desire
to have Guiteau hung as a sane man,
or that the prisoner would never have
been brought to trial" but for them,
yet, at the same time, Scoville but
voices public sentiment when he says
that Guiteau never would have COM
mitted the act if it had not been for the
unjustifable assault made by these
men and others upon President Gar
field and his Administration. Tie fol-
lowing 10 tho way Scoville put it:
Gentlemen of the jury, ia my op:n-
ion, if there we not reasons, and pow
erful ones, back of this pro- ecutior,
this prisoner would never have been
brought to trial. But l tell vou gen.
tlemen of the jury. back of this prose-
cption is an influence which | have
felt, and which you ma, feel, GENTLE
men, before this trial ia concluded
There are politicians who seek to- hide
their own shame behind the disgrace
of this poor prisoner and make him the
scapegoat of their crime did not in
tend, gentlemen of the jury, to take up
this feature of the case: but when |
find the power and influence of this
government used against me in deny
ing me the small pittance that 1 have
asked, fair and impartial trial. and
the small facilities needed for proper
defense, ] do not propose to keep quiet.
/ say that such men as Grant and
Conkling and Arthur are morally and
intellectually responsible for this crime.
Mr.. Conkling shall not escape, shall
not shirk the responsibility Of the state
OF things that led To this act, and he
shall not escape the condemnation of
the American people il I can help it
for his share in this disgraceful scram-
BILE for office that led to conflict with
the chosen ruler Of this great nation,
and led this poor insane man to com.
pass what they would have hailed
with satisfaction, and as would proba-
bly, hundreds of other politicians-if it
could occur other than through assassi-
nation-the removal OF Garfield, who
stood in the way Of their unrighteous
and disgraceful struggle for Offices.
Neither shall Grant escape that con-
demnation to which he is so justly
subjected when, coming from Mexico,
and coming with undue haste, to
throw his own name into this petty
quarrel about small Office in the re-
publican party. and sought to foment
the differances that had sprung up. l.
aln not going to see the misdeeds of
these men, high in power, visited upon
the head of this poor insane man if l
can help it, This clamor for his blood
is not for the purpose of avenging Gar
field or of satisfying justice, but their
theory is this: If it can be shown
that this was the act of sane man,
then those politicians in high places
will say, of course we are not respon-
eible for the act of sane man; to be
sure, we had some differences, but
then it could never have led sane
man to such an act but. on the con-

THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.

THE COCNII COM4HI CI.
The State Republican Convention
having been fixed for May 10, makes
it necessary for the County Republi-
can Committee to meet before that
time, to arrange for the representation
of this county in the same. Having
been enquired of as to ,rhen this COM
mittee meeting will be, we called upon
its chairman, Mr.. A. L. Craig, last
week, and learned from him that he
does not propose to have meeting OF
the committee before the lst of April.
He thinks that will be time enough for
the County Committee to meet and
determine the questions that necessarl-
ly will come before it. THESE ques-
tions are list. Whether it will select
the delegates to the State Convention,
or pass that matter over to the next
committee, or County Convention
rather. Some are of opinion that the
delegates to the coming State Conven-
tion should be chosen by new COM
mittee, or convention, coming direct
and fresh from the people. This is
urged on the ground, that there should
be full and direct expression of the
Republican sentiment of the county on
the question of State candidates, and
State issues. If this view prevails in
the present committee, then the time
for the meetings Of the voters, and for
the County Convention, will have to
be fixed at date previous to the 10th
of May, the date of the State Conven-
ton. And this necessarily brings up
the other question, as to the time for
holding the primaries this year, as it
would not be desirable or reasonable to
have two meetings of the Republican
voters in their respective districts, If
all can be accomplished by one meeting.
In this view, the time, lst April, con-
templated by the chairman for calling
the present committee, would seem to
be little late, as their would only be
about month for candidates for nom-
ination this year to make any canvass,
and only the same time to obtain any
expression of the people on any other
question, But both these questions
are in the hands of the present COM
mittee, and it's members will, no doubt,
fully consider them. If on the lst OF
April they determine to send the dele
gates to the State Convention them
selves, then there will be no necessity
for the primaries being held before the
usual time, about ist of June. u, on
the other hand, the present committee
refers the matter of said delegates to
the people, then the primaries and all
else would necessarily come Lefore the
10th of May. Our object is only to direct
the attention of the members of the
present County Comnittee, and OF
candidates for nomination this year.
to the subject, and having stated the
situation we leave the matter to them.
