Mr., Hensel editor of the Lancaster

Mr.. Hensel editor of the Lancaster
Intelligencer, was one of tke Democrat.
ic speakers last night at the Opera
House. He is pleasant and enter
tanning speaker and kept his audience
in a splendid humor after listening 30
long to Attorney General Gray's forced
effort to glorify the Democratic party.
1t was quite amusing to listen to his
rela' of Phipp's theft at tho Phila'
delphia aims house, which Republicans
condemn as mnch as Democrats, but
the laugh woRld have beon on the other
side of MIR. Hensel had gone on and
told that Pattison, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Pennsylvania,
audited all Phipps' tbieving bills. Mr..
Hensel simply stopped short, that was
all. Neither did MIR. Hensel attempt to
show why the Democratic party of Ian.
caster county so Immediately pure and
honest is buried beneath Republican
majority of II, 900 votes cast by = rural
farming people proverbal for their
honesty and unexcelled in character.
We are all glad 10 hear Mr.. Hensel, but
we would suggest that if he would
make Lancaster county Democratic, he
would have enough to do at home. 1t
is just little singular that all these
good Democratic speakers come from
strong Republican neighborhoods.
Daily Republican., 1882-09-30

Is MR.. GRAY afraid that the Cath.
olic Church is becon ing allenated from
the Democratic party that he reminded
the mem hers OF that church last night
that les safety was due to the efforts of
the Democratic party? Or is he afraid
that the for, ign torn voter Is becoming
lukewarm in his attachment to the
party that he should forewsrn them
that they owe their right to vote to the
Democratic party? AS the Democrats
have always proclaimed strong opposi-
ton to the mixing of religion in poll
tics, we must infeI from Mr.. Gray's
remarks that the Catholic religion is
excepted on the presumption that all
good Catholics are good Democrats
We doubt very much if our Catholic
citizens will feel very highly compli-
mented by this demagOgueicAl appeal
10 them for their votes. But Mr.. Gray
3 evidently alarmed. AS the Demo
cratic party would be no party without
the foreign and Catholic vote, Mr..
Gray might have pointed proudly to
the places of prominence to which they
had been elected. Martin Farrell and
H. G. Turner can tell more about this
than Mr.. Gray can. Of course Mr..
Gray will tell the people in Kent and
Sussex how the Democrats love the
CothOlic and foreign vote.

Trick. ota mnambulIst.

In the vicinity of Wachita, Kansas,
there resides with his parents young
man whose Christian name Is Charles,
but whose surname Is unfortunately
not mentioned by the journal which re.
cords the following extraord mary incl
dent in his career. One night his par
ents were arc used by singular noises on
the roof, and knowing their sons habit
of cutting capers in his sleep they ran
out to the yard and looked up.
There sat the young man upon the
chimney-Sop, clad o. that gar
ment which immemorla. sage has con-
secrated to the purposes OF slumber.
Presently he rose to his feet and, ad-
dressing an imaginary audience, gave
out the hymn, "All hail the power OF
jesus name,' which he forwith
proceeded to sing through from the be.
ginning to end to the soporous tune
Coronation.
He then selected text from 1st John
", %, preached a vigorous Obscure
tifteer minutes long, and slid down the
lightning rod into tub of water which
his father had hurriedly placed where
it would do the most good. The shock
aroused him and he was escorted to his
bed.

ONE OF the most liberal advertisers
amongst the business men of Whining.
ton, is the firm of Philip j. Walsh &
Co. AS consequence they have in
creased their sales beyond their most
sanguine expectations. This firm is
never heard complaining of dismal
hard times, though there are seasons
when business is not SO brisk as at 9th
ers. Twenty-Five per cent. above the
estimate for years trade Is an en-.
Couraging figure. Much of this sue
cess is due to the firm iustalment plan
of payments which is highly her refcial
to honest working men an -uechanics,
but a great portion of it must be attribu.
ted to liberal advertising in papers that
reach the mass of the people. We
would call the special attention of our
readers to the splendid line of all kinds
of goods laid in by this firm for the fall
trade. Read the advertisement of P.

DID Mr.. Gray say anything in favor
of equal representation last night OF
course not it was not to his interest
ror the interest of the Democratic par
ty to have equal representation. Did
he say anything in favor of the people
electing the county officers ? OF course
not; it is more to the interests of the
Democratic party to let the people have
as little power and privileges as posi-.
Dle. Did he say anything in favor of
more and better schools for the people /?
OF course not; it is not to the interest of
the Democratic party to have the peo.
pie better educated. 1t was not only
in National affairs, and away off in
Republican States that Mr.. Gray
thought reforms were needed.
Daily Republican., 1882-09-30

Mr.. GRAY's terrible modification
over the escape of Neal from the gal.
lows is shown in every political speech
he makes, We would advise him not
to take on 80 hard about. The "wives
and daughters sacrifices on the altars
of Republican necessity and bigotry,"
we have no doubt will excuse him for
letting Neal off. He was forewarned
in time of the mistake he was making;
but he would not listen. However Mr.
Gray got 81, 1922. 80 from the State for
going to Washington to try to convince
the Supreme Court that ha had made
no mistake at all.
Daily Republican., 1882-09-30

Mr.. Gray is another Democrat who is
proud of the record of the Democratic
party, not only of the nation but of the
State. He should have told his au-
dience that his party now eighty years
old was rickety, doaty, decrepit ard
blind. He found fault with the Repub.
lican party for not having more farms
and less railroads through the mighty
west, as if farmers were going where
there were no railroads. Mr.. Gray of
course knows something about railroad
monopolists by the force OF early train.
ing, but he did receive his information
through Republican sources.
