HARRY WHITE was nominated for

White was never Of any practical, COM

positive obstruction to the legitimate

crotchets, and is always striving for no

coupled with his inOrdinate vanity and
self esteem, rendered him a meddlesome
and an especially uninteresting member.

A FEW timely words of advice to the
Republicans of Pennsylvania, are fur
nished by the Chicago Tribune, a lead
ing Republican paper, which is about
as high authority as we find in that dis
tracted party. 1t says
Don Cameron and his faction have demor-
allied and corrupted the politics of Pennsyl-
vania to an extent that suTpasses the labor
of his father. Cameron has made machine
Republicanism in PENNSYLVANIA 1t has
made the machine party a gang of political
thieves, at the head of which Cameron eXer-
cises absolute power. The Camerons must
be deposed and the party rescued, or the
party in Pennsylvania must be abandoned
and let 60 to pieces. The only thing left of
machine RepuDlicauiSm in Pennsylvania is
CamerOnism, and CamerOnism is the combi-
nation Of everything that is dishonest in pol
itics, corrupt in government, and disgraceful
in practice. It is time that the Republican
party and the press outside of PENNSYLVANIA
shall actively demand that the party in that
State shall Tepudiate, reject, and defeat the
corrupt machine. It's success means the na-
tiOnal defeat of the party in 1884.
The attempt by the elder Cameron to di-
vert attention from the caucus of the Inde-
pendent party in Pennsylvania by declaring
that the independents are all free traders la
boring to destroy labor and manufactures in
that State and thus lead to the total destrue-
ton of American industry can deceive none
Every candidate on the Independent ticket
IS a Republican and protectionist, but the
line which separates him from Cameron is
too distinctly defined, too clearly drawn and
too well known in that State to permit any
one to misunderstood the true meaning of
old Slmon's desperate appeal ia behalf of his
son.

a SUGGESTIVE SToRY.-The Lancas-
ter IaLclGQHcer relates a suggestive
story about the Philadelphia House of
Correction, an institution that felt the
reformatory power OF Controller Patti
son
Recently a business misfortune overlook
one of the most active of the Correction
managers, and being utterly without fnan-
cial resources ne was practically reduced to
the unhappy but by no means uncommon
condition Of an ''ofliciai' tramp. Meeting
him pressing bricks one day on the highway,
a SympathiZing friend suggeStlVeiy lnquired:
Joe, can't YOU get a living out Of the Cor
rection - Slowly and sadly as though
bringing with il the last shTeds of a lost hope,
came the fOrlOrn aud mysterious reply -
"Billy, the dog is dead" Being pressed for
an explanation the broken hearted manager
said THE situation is just this There was
a time when something might be done once
in while, but now the city of Philadelphia
can't buy box of matches and have them
paid for with out a voucher or roll of dOcu-
mentS as long as your arm. That man Pat
tison beats everything L ever saw or heard
Of You, can't get away with him. He
watches everything like hawk. No, Billy,
as l said before, the dog Is dead.
This is no idle story, but accords with
the facts as stated 10y Philadelphia Re-
publicans as well as Democrats. With
Robert E. Pattison in the Executive
chair the purifying and healthful atmos-
phere of reform would be felt at Harris
burg as it has been in Philadelphia.
There wouldsOe a cleaning out of politi-
cal vandals ION the hill.'' The legisla-
tive rooster would become unknown. for
corrupt legislation would be impossible.
The Government Of the State would be

and efficiency would reign where ndlad-
ministration and corruption have So long

The Colrroth VS.. swank Libel Suit.

What the Somerset Democrat calls one
of General Campbell's paid correspOn
dents at JOhnstOwn sent to the Pitts
burg Commercial Gazette the following
special 4:
JoHNsTowN, Pa, August 3O.-In A. II.
COffrOth's libel suit against the Tribune the
defendant was found guilty and sentenced
to pay nominal fine of $50 and the costs.
General Campbell was entirely eXODerated
from the whole business, and thus it kills
another of Alexis little games.
We publish it, continues the Democrat
to show what an cutter liar'' Campbell's
correspondent is. He says "Gen. Camp
bell was entirely eXOnerated from the
whole business" This will be news to
the persons who were in attendance dur
ing the trial of the case. Although
General Campbell was in town sneaking
around lamely explaining how he came
to originate the libel he did not have the
courage to go into Congress and attempt
to justify it, or the manhood 20 admit
that he had maliciously and falsely libel
led Gen. Coffroth, his predecessor in
Congress.
The defendant did not attempt to
prove the truth of this IibellOu article
or that Gen. Campbell was not the au-
thor of it, but that he (the defendant)
copied it from the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette as a matter of news and that it
was not published maliciousiy or negli-
gently. The jury returned a verdict OF
guilty. General Campbell originated
the falsehood and induced the special
correspondent of the Commercial to pub.
lish it in that paper, and then Tom

lished it in the Johnstown Tribune il

Mr.. JENNINGS, the London cores
pOndent Of the New York World, in his
dispatch of Saturday last, says the con-
ditiOu OF the affairs in Ireland is fully as
bad as ever, and that an intelligent
American, who has just travelled through

fident opinion that the worst of the
troubles IN Ireland are yet to come, as
the winter nights will afford a better
opportunity for the nsurrectionary
movement now in preparation on stu

LEoNIDAs CESAR HOUK is the pres
ent Republican member Of Congress
from the second Tennessee district and
he wants TO be reelected. William
Rule. ex-Postmaster of Knoxville, is
fornipst Houk's candidacy on the
grouud that he was drunk most of the
time at Washington and was once put
in the lookup, and thinks the people of
the district had better elect him in place
Of Houk. Both of them are now stump
ing the district, each claiming to have
been regularly nominated, and as 1t
gives a Republican majority OF seven or
eight thousand, the Democrats will not
probably make a nomination, but will
support Rule as the more decent and re-
putable man of the two. Ten days or
two weeks ago q Republican mass meet
ing was held at Knoxville and the fol-
lowing verbatim section taken from
HOuk's speech is a fair sample of the
way the campaign is conducted. He
said

THE doctrine promulgated by the late

THE doctrine promulgated by the late
Labor Convention in this State moves
the New York San to say
The freedom Of labor is one of the funda-
mental positions of this Convention and vet
they favor a system under which freedom of
all kinds would be effectively DESTROYED
1--WE demand of Congress" )" says their plat
form, can act making it a penal offense to
Import foreign labor under contract for the
purpose of reducing the wages of American
labor" They also contend ''that transpOr-
tatiOn and telegraph charges shall be based
on actual cost, after allowing a fair profit :"
''that education be made compulsory" D." and
THAT there shall be equal pay for equal
work for both sexes
All these resolutions look directly to the
increased interference of Government in
private affairs. If transportation and tele-
graph charges are to be based on actual cost,
charges must be regulated by Government
If education is to be made compulsory, it is
the agents of Government who must apply
the compulsiOn. If equal pay is to be the
rule for both sexes when they perform equal
work, Government officers must ascertain
the facts and administer the remedy. If the
/ introduction OF foreign wOrkmen is to be
controlled, and if, under certain ciTcumstan-
c5S, lG is 70 be punished. the control and the
punishment must likewise be intrusted to
the Government. In a word, what these Ia
boring men demand is that the hand of Gov
eTnment shall be made heavy that its over
sight of private affairs shall be intensified /;
and instead of less government and more
/ liberty, we shall have mere government and
less liberty
