Mr.. Hopkins Speaks.

Hon. James Ii. Hopkins, of Pitts
burg, who made a very close escape
from being nominated as the demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, has
been interviewed on the political
situation in Pennsylvania. Mr..
Hopkins is very hopeful Of the sue
cess Of the democratic state ticket.
He thinks the democrats have big
advantage in the splendid personnel
of the nominees, every man Of whom
is strong in himself tits frequent
ly the case-ho adds that one or
two persons on q ticket require SO
much defense that they are q dead
weight to the other candidates.
This is the case on the stalwart
ticket with Greer and Dayis espe-
cially.
Mr.. Hopkins makes the following
estimate on the result of the elec-
tion. His shrewdncss as o polite,
ian together with his extensive op-
portunitles of observation constitute
him as safe o calculator as any in
the state.
'Ipace Stewards vote Gt lOO, 900; the prohlbi-
tion ticket:w will receive from 1900 TO 1900
votes the labor vote win depend largely upon
whether or not the labor troubles continue I'M
I'll the election, and to that extent will affect
the estimate upon the two leading tickets, but l
think Mr.. Armstrong win poll $1,000 or 10000
votes General Beaver, the Cameron republican
candidate, viii poll 1880 votes and Mr.. Patti.
sons vote may be safely placed ut 10000 These
estimates are based upon full vote, which we
are very likely to have, as, In addition to the
state officers, we will elect congressman, men,
berS OF the state legislatures and many county
officers"

Beaver Declines.

While In Philadelphia last Friday, to
have his photograph taken for cam
paign purposes, Gen. Beaver was inter-
viewed by reporter on the Stewart
challenge and gave the following an
swer to the question whether he would
accept:
II have not given the matter a Sc
rious thought. Personally there are
several why would like to meet Sena-
tor Stewart On the platform and still
my Judgment may not be best in the
matter. 1 really don't think either of
us IS afraid to meet the other. That's
not the question. People must not for
get that there is quarrel in the repub-
lican party. We don't think it serious;
the independents" as they call them
selves, and their democratic friends
claim that it is. Serious or not, I can
not see any reason for making the
quarrel any more bitter. 1 have no
doubt whatever OF the confidence of
the great mass Of republican voters in
this state. I expect to win without
any such wrangle with Senator Stew

They Don't Like It.

The stalwart journals are not at all
pleased with the official record of Con-
troller Pattison. The fact that ander
his upright and vigllant administration
Of the important municipal Office which
he has filled for nearly FIVE years the
debt Of Philadelphia has been greatly
reduced, the expenditures of the city
govern ment largely lessened and the
tax rate materially lowered, gives them
no pleasure whatever. she is an hon.
est man." they admit, shut what of
that % they ask. ''There are plenty
OF honest men who can not be elected
governor" they reply. But it often
happens that men Of sterling integrity
In private life are debauched when
they become off1ceholders. They 90
not hold the public interest as of the
sams sanctity as private right or in
an evil hour they succumb to the arts
and opportunities Of personal and po-
litical friends. Robert E. Pattis0n's
public career, however, proves him to
be only an honest man but one who
cannot be swerved from his integrity
by any influences however powerful On
this very account he is the man whom
the people prefer for the highest office
in their gift and most likely for the
OF the stalwart editors. The latter
would have been suited better by a
democratic candidate whose public acts
did not prove him a man OF high NOR
al courage. They don't like Pattison's
record, but just what to do about it is
lheir difficulty. 1t is as unassailable
s:as the character of the man is unim.
peachable.

Big Talk.

We clip the following pompous
and gushing extract from one Of :he
Stalwart machine editorials that
now go the rounds of the Cameron
papers OF the state:
Gen. Beaver says he is going to be G.
lected, and he will be. Republicans say
they are going to elect Gen. Beaver and
they mean to do it. Republican Penh-
sylvania is not going back upon one
legged soldier, who before the cam
paign closes will make it plain.to every
citizen that he combines qualifications
for the high Office not possessed by
any candidate of either party for the
last twenty yea rs.
Indeed Better qualifications for
Governor than Hoyt, Hartranft,
Geary, Dill, Pershing or any other
candidate for the last twenty years?
That's putting the case very mod
estly truly. IfGen. Beaver under
takes to make it plaiE to every cit
izen that he is the ittest man that
ran for Governor for the last TWEEN.
ty years he will find it a much big
ger job than running" the State
College, and he will die Of extreme
old age long before he gets through.
But where are the data, the facts
the material On hand to make it all
plain ? Aside from his very credita-
ble military career, what is his pub.
lie record ? What positions has he
filed What public duties has he
performed ? None whatever except
as President of the Board of Trus-
tees of State College, and that does
not make his fitness for Governor
just so very plain to the naked eye.
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1882-08-24

For reckless extravaganza the
present congress which adjourned
on the 6th instant, far exceeds any
ofits proaigate predecessors, bad as
many of them have been. After
one of the longest and most tedious
sessions on record scarcely anything
has been done for the good of the
country. No relief is given from a
burdensome system of taxation that
is fast crushing our industrial inter-
ests to the ground. No revision of
an unjust, unequal and oppressive
tariff. Nothing whatever to ele-
vate and purify a civil service that
reeks Of corruption.
This model congress found no
time to act on measure Of impor-
tance for the public good, but it had
time to vote away millions of the
peoples money for worse than use
less local objects. If found time to
pass and afterwards override Presi-
cent Arthur's able and constitution
al veto message on the great steal,
called the river and harbor bill.
The republican majority of the
House did f6d time to oust demo-
Gratis regularly elected, on the finn
siest pretexts, or on no pretext at
all, and seat in their steads peniten-
tiary birds of the Smalls stripes.
The total appropriations run up to
SIS, ,839 .597 more than for last year. A.
bout $32 ,0OO, 900 of this increase is de-
voted to pensions alone, $7,00O,00O to
rivers and harbols, and much more to
other purposes.
The members have returned home
to their respective constituencies,
and are now asking to be "vindicat-
ed" by a reelection. What are the
people going to do about it -? Let
those who honestly and faithful
ly did their duty, be returned as a
fitting appreciation of their servi-
ces but let every corrupt jobber

Charley Wolf Heard From.

publican county committee held their
regular annual meeting on the 18th

ed sett of strong anti-boss. anti-ma-
chine and anti-CamerOn resolutions
which were passed by a unanimous
vote, five stalWart members having
first with drawn. We clip three of the
six resolutions, but they are entirely
sufficient to show the spirit and temper
of a large majority of the republicans
in Mr.. VOLTS home county:
RESOLVED, That, In accordance with the
known sentiment OF the Rep ublIcans of Union
County as repe atedly and emphatIeally express
ed aC primaries, through their county organi-
ZatiOnss an at the general elections, we do
hereby ecognize the ticket nominated by the
publican Conve ntion at Philadelphia, headed
by Senator John Stewart, standing upon the
platform OF princi pies by said Convention a.
dopted, as the exponent OF tue RepublicnniSm
and will accordingly labor zealously TO secure
its election next November.
RESOLVED, That while we deplore the serious
division in the Repub lican party In Pennsylva-
MIA, we recognize he spoils system and the ar.
rogant, corrupt rule OF the bosses, and eSpecl-
ally the offensive and selfish personal domina-
tiOn OF j. Donald Cameron, sustained In his VI
cious method and t yrannical usurpations by the
present na tional administration, Us tho cause Of
the existing differences.
Resolved That we re gard the invitation OF
Senator Stewart to G eneral Beaver to Jointly
discuss before an intelligent public the issue
dividing tho Republican party as a wise and
manly way OF determining where lies the re-
sponsibilty for Republican differences aud how
they can best correct them.

it refuses to put in an appearance the
voters will accept the fact as a confes-
