-" "A Good Suggestion"

Glen Rock Item.
Chauncey F. Black, esq.,, of York, Pa,
has been named as asuitable person to re-
ceive the Democratic nomination for lieu.
tenant governor Of Pennsylvania this fall.
That is an excellent suggestion, but we
would greatly prefer to see him head the
ticket. His name at tho head of tho ticket
would give grace and dignity to it, and
there are few, if any, men in the state
that would command the support of the
Democrats and independents to the
extent that Mr.. Black does. His political
record is clean, he is strictly honest, and
his ability and fitness for this high honor,
and the responsible trust, cannot be ques-
toned. He is scholarly and a polished
gentleman, kind hearted and sociable in
the highest degree. He is a strong and
polished writer, and his publications upon
political subjects have been widely circu-
lated and warmly endorsed by the leading
men of his party, and prominent men not
of the Democratic party. Mr.. Black is at
present actively engaged in getting his
party back to Jeffersonian principles, and
his efforts are warmly endorsed by strong
men of all shades of political opinion.

Both Houses Of the Ohio Legislature
yesterday passed a resolution requesting
the president to pardon Sergeant Mason
and restore him to the army.
Apetition to President Arthur for the
pardon Of Sergeant Mason was started
yesterday in Toledo, Ohio. and received
nearly 1000 signatures. The pardon is
asked on the ground that Mason was not
responsible for his act. In the afternoon
the police board consented to allow the
police to circulate copies OF the petitions,
anC a systematic canvass of the city will
be begun to day. A fund has also been
started for MasOn's family.

THE WALL HOMICIDE.
Verdict Of Accidental Shooting Rendered by

the CorOnor's Jury.
In the Wall inquest in New York Mrs.
Wall was put on the stand, and weeping
bitterly, she declared that she was inno-
cent of killing her husband. She said sho
saw the pistol on the table and picked it
up and started to cross the room, when
it went off. She threw it on tho floor and
rushed over to her husband when she saw
10 was wounded. She screamed for help,
and her husband fell to the floor on his
face. She turned him on his back and
saw the wound in his neck and blood
flowing from his mouth. She put her
finger in the wound, and that gave him
relief, and he said Darling, don't be
frightened !; have courage you couldn't
help it =; it was an accident" He then
told her how much no loved her. She
again screamed for help and the maid came
in.
The audience were greatly affected by
Mrs. Wallis story, as the witness sobbed
bitterly during its recital.
After brief instructions from the cOr0.
ner the jury retired, but were only out
few minutes, when they returned YER
dict of accidental shooting from carelessly
handling a pistol. The accused woman
was then taken back to Raymond street
Jail, Brooklyn, and any further action will
lie with the Kings county authorities.

THE STATE CONVENTION.


The Kind Of Men and Measures to be APP
proved, n Deslgnatsd BY Representa-
tive Journals of the Party.
After quoting the INTELL1GENcER's s
views upon "the points which the Demo
cratic press ought to impress upon the
party and those entrusted with its man
agement, the Doylestown Democrat adds
"This is sound. If the party act upon
these paragraphs, it will start out with a
winning hand. But, in addition, let the
Democratic candidate be placed upon the
platform of reform-genuine, solid, re-
form-none of the namby .pamby stuff we
have so often had held to our lips and
made to quaff. We mean reform in its
broadest sense reform that will strike
the evil-doer on every round of the ladder
from the bottom to the top. In these per.
ilous times, we hope the leaders Of the
party, those placed temporarily at its head,
will listen to the press, which, by the way,
makes great men out of small material,
and (make haste slowly in fixing the
convention and selecting a candidate"
York Dispatch Rep.
Chauncey F. Black, esq, of York, is
announced as Democratic candidate for
lieutenant governor the coming fall.
Chauncey F. Black is also one Of the
strong candidates for Congress from this
district. Tho honors are beginning to
crown thick and fast upon this able son
of York.
The distinguished honors of the father
are beginning to fall upon the head of the
son. The only fault we have to find with
our York candidate is that he is Demo-
crat were he Republican we should be
proud to second the motion. His doctrine
Of Jeffersonianism is all good enough, but
it has not been Democratic doctrine in
teaching or practice; to come to it row
is eucroaching on Republican ground.
Objections to q Short Campaign.
Philadelphia Chronicle, Dem.
The idea Of short, sharp and decisive
Democratic campaign, commencing with a
late convention in September, is advocated
by the Lancaster INTELLIGENCER. Editor
Hensel never advances any idea without it
has for its object the best interests of the
party. But it is doubtful whether six
weeks campaign would be the wisest in
preparing for an election of such magni-
tude and importance as that of next No.
vember. The canvass Of last year, which
commenced late in September was meant
to be short, sharp and decisive, but it was
feeble and halting. Chairman Bogert
laborcd hard and faithfully, but he had
much to do and but little time to do it in.
The result was that there was nothing but
tie barcst semblance of 4 party organiza-
ton. 1t will be safer to call the Demo
cratic convention for some date in June
after both the Cameron and the Wolfe
conventions shall have done their work.
This will enable the party managers to
settle many preliminaries before the dog
days shall have set in and will enable the
party to commence the campaign in the
first days of autumn with no distracting
issues still to be settled. The sooner the
quarrels and rivalries of candidates have
been disposed of and got out Of the way,
the easier it will be to organize harmoni-
ously and compactly.

The Society for Political Education is the
title of an organization formed upon the
idea that the success Of our government
depends rpon the active political influence
of educated intelligence, and that partiesare
means, not ends. 1t is avowedly non-par-
tisan in its purposes, and is not to be used
for any other object than the awakening
of an intelligent interest in govern
ment methods and purposes, tend
ing to restrain the abuse of parties and to
promote party morality. Among its Or
ganizers are numbered Democrats, Re-
publicans and Independents, who differ
among themselves as to which party is
best fitted to conduct the government but
whose platform of principle comprises tho
cardinal doctrine upon which all friends of
democratic government can heartily unite.
The methods upon which the society
operate, consist of tho dissemination of
sound economic and political literature in
maintenance and illustration of the princi.
pies of good government; and by assist
ing In the formation Of reading and corre-
spending circles and clubs for discussing
social, political, and economic questions.

HE WEEK OF PRAYER The week of prayer
has drawn to a close. The union services were
heid on the nights of Sabbath, Monday, and
Thursday in The Presbyterian Church, Tues
daf AZ the Ironton Methodist Church, Wednes-
da5 at F RI Hin, and Friday and Saturday At
the Baptis Church in Ironton.
Reve. Bergman, Donaldson, Wright and
Bouisher led The meetings; and the meetings
followed willingly, there being hearty par
ticipation by the people. 1t was a cause of
sorrow chat the bodily sffl ctions OF Fathers
bergman and Donaldson prevented our en-
joyiDg much of the rich fruits of their well
ripensd spiritual experience, and that We did
not see amobg US at all the earnest, pleasant
face of Brother Bell, but 1t is hoped that the
presence of his spirit aided to make Tuesday
night the hsppiest night OF the week.
Il is too soon to count the fruits Of the
week OF prayer; but it is safe to pred ct that,
whilst sectariau lines will stand where they
did, there will be flowing together of indi-
vidual Christianity, snd many will feel
''rhat when the stream that overlooked the soul
Has passed away, the eonsc!e nce remains
That 1t hath left deposited along the silent shores
Ofmemory, images and precious thoughts
That cannot die, and shall not be destroyed.'

Deceased died of typhoid fever in Iron
county, Missouri, at the residence of Mr..
Joseph Phillips, where he was kindly nursed
and family. A letter was written notifying
bis friends of his illness, but to their lasting
regret it was delayed and not received until it
was too late to go to him. A short time be-
fore he died he said, God is taking me home, :"
and inqu red what time it was. On being told
that it was O'Clock he said, ''My sun is almost
down." On being asked if he was prepared
for death ne replied, ''Oh, yes" and folded
his hands across his breast and died without q
struggle. Thus in a strange land his sun went
down while it was yet day.
Far from father, mother anu home, he died;
Far from Pierce and Phoebe, Yeager and Lide.
Strangers' hands his wants attended;
Alone with strangers his journey ended.
Strangers smoothed his pillow and brow;
Strangers laid him where he is resting now.
But Mack was rot q stranger to Gospel Truth,
For he was born of the Spirit while yet youth;
And through his life and sickness he had friend
Was with him when he drew his latest breath,
Went with him over the Jordon of death.
Farewell, will watch for thy coming more.
None ever return that reach that cloudess shore
But long the angel Of death will summon us too,
Then we will cross the river and come to you.
