How Beaver Was Nominated.

Chairman Cooper has lately sent out
circular intended to show how Stew.
art was nominated. The following from
the american Republican paper ofhigh
character in Philadelphia tells exactly
how Beaver was nominated, nobody
knows it better than Cooper:
"Senator Cameron slated General
Beaver for the governorship. Colonel
Quay agreed to the arrangement. Word
was sent throughout the State that the
slate had been made, and the answer
ing voices of approval come like stall.
wart chorus from every creature and
agent of the machine The terms of
praise for Gen. Beaver were even for
mulated : every machine man told in
the same words what a Christian gentle.
man he was. 1t was at this time that
General Beaver went to Washington.
His candidacy, thus arranged with Mr..
Cameron, involved the withdrawal of
other men, notably Mr.. Cooper. The
latter went to Washington, likewise, to
learn whether he might or might not
be a candidate, and he was, as he can
didly told the newspaper men when he
returned, ordered to stand aside for the
present. the nomination having been
this year conferred upon General Bea-
yer. Cooper, therefore, came home with
a blank, Beaver with prize. Cooper,
unfortunately for his hopes, has kick
kerr county. 1t sent Blaine delegate
to Chicago, who stubbornly resisted the
conspiracy by which General Grant was
to be nominatee for a third term, in
spite of the wishes of the Republican
States. But Beaver went to Chicago,
himself, from his county, and, misrepre.
senting the people of his district and of
the State, joined heartily in the conspir,
acy of which Conkling and Cameron
were the chief organizers. lie earned
then his brazen medal, and he earned
the nomination for governor that had
been denied him in 1878. When, there
fore, he repaired to Washington, almost
q yeGr before the election of 1882, and
fastened to the presence OF Mr.. Cam.
eron, he went simply to receive new
assurance that the old one would be
kept"

What the Bosses Have Done.

These Regulars are guilty of the
shameless Irregularities. They defed
the popular will in national convention
at Cincinnati in 1876, and again at Chi.
cago in 1880 they ignored aud repudi.
ated public sentiment in the election of
United States Senator in the winter
of 1881; they rejected and spurned the
popular demand in.the nomination OF
State Treasurer last year, and to cap the
climax of irregularity now boldly at.
tempt to coerce and bulldoze the rank
and file of the Republican party into
the support of a brass medal candidate
for Governor, whose chef merit consists
that in the past he has preferred to
yield allegiance and do homage to the
bosses rather than represent the inter
ests, aims and purposes oi the people.
These are the causes which have slowly
yet surely worked division in the Re
publican ranks.

What, Again /!

A passenger on one of the Atlantic
steamers relates the following amusing
incident AS illustrating England's fanati
cal devotion to free trade AS applied to
America
"When we were in mid.ocean the
ennui of the voyage became oppressive.
We were tired of pool selling, and as
last resort organized debating society.
The subject chosen was Free Trade for
the United States
1.-Two Englishmen vigorously advoca-
ted the affirmative. Their American
opponents wildly irritated them by
making some pointed allusions to the
hypocrisy Of England's position-that
while ostensibly her advocacy of free
trade was for highly moral disinterested
reasons, yet, in reality, her motives were
of a purely selfish business character.
"Sir,' replied one of the Englishmen,
losing his temper, whatever our motives
may be, we purpose to agitate this ques-
ton until we accomplish our end. And
If need be, he continued, becoming red
in the face and shaking his fist, we will
go 10 war and whip you so badly that
you will be compelled to take of your
tariff
"There was a dead silence in the
smoking room, which was only broken
by long, lank Yankee in the corner,
who drawlingly piped out What,
ag-a-i.pf" The Englishman collapsed,
amidst shouts of laughter"

The Tide of Immigration.

The Bureau of Statistics has Just
issued its annual report, showing the
total immigration to the United States
for the year ending June 30, 1882. Its
first and most notable feature has refer
ence TO the enormous proportions which
this foreign influx has assumed. The
total immigration for the current year
amounts to 789,003, or 1882 more
than last year, when the highest total
was reached ever known in the history
