Political Assessments.

The opinion of Attorney General
Brewster on the subject of political as
sessments is generally treated by the
press as if it were judicial decision.
1t simply amounts to an Interpretation
of the law by the cabinet attorney for
the guidance of officers of the United
States government. 1t is altogether
&c parte and does not at all settle the
legal questions involved in the matter.
The conclusions arrived at by the attor-
ney general may be correct, but his
opinion has no binding effect upon any
body. If he had decided that a mem
ber of congress is an officer of the
United States within the meaning of
the statute he was called upon to inter-
pref, MIR. Hubbell might still have gone
on levying and collecting his assess
ments with perfect impunity. The
courts and not the attorney general are
the constitutional and rightful interpre-
tiers of the law.
But the opinion of the attorney gen
eral, though worthless as a judicial de-
finition, serves to point a moral. Con-
gress, it seems, has prohibited all other
official representatives of the United
States government except its own men,
bers from receiving contributions from
federal officials for political purposes.
The attention of congress is now called
by an official paper to this important
omission in the law. There is yet time
before the adjournment of the present
session to correct the matter "A sup
Elementary bill should at once be passed
to bring members of congress within
the purview of the act A measure of
that kind, with no ambiguity or uncer-
tainty in its phraseology, would be
worth all the opinions of all the attor-
general, past, present and to come
The republicans of Pennsylvania should
see to it that congress is at once strong
ly petitioned for the passage of such a
bill. Both the stalwart and indepen.
dent wings of the party have pronounc-
ed by solemn resolution against politi-
cal assessments They have made Hub
bell a political issue in this state and
that issue can best be settled by congress
in the manner just indicated Chair
man Mckee will, of course favor this
proposition from pure principle and in
order to strike blow at the "Grant-
Arthur Conkling- -Guiteau Cameron Stall
warts. Chairman Cooper will support
it because it would prevent the repub.
lican congressional committee from
poaching on his manor and would
enable him to conduct his own black
mailing operations with greater success.
In fact it would seem that such bill
ought not to meet with any opposition
in congress or out of it.-PatrtOt

INSTRUCTION TICKETS.

By our county rules of nomin.
alton, delegates are required to
come to Conventions with instruc-
tions for county officers, except Cor
oner and Auditors. Such are the only
instructions required by the rules, but
other instructions are ullOaoed and if
given are to be carried out and enforc-
ed in Convention. The only limitation
in regard to voluntary instructions is,
that the majority of the voters of a
district present, are to participate in
the proceeding of voting on such in
structions.
1t has been the practice to vote in
structions upon all the principal offices
for which nominations are made in
Convention, and slip tickets for the dele
gate elections are prepared accordingly.
So the sheet or slip ticket for the present
year will contain names for President
Judge, Congressman, Senator and Rep
resentatives, in the same manner as if
they were county officers.
For all these Offices, except the last,
there will be no contest in the county
$50 far as we are informed); not because
they are not very important ones and
calculated to excite ambition, but be-
cause public opinion settled down early
in favor of one particular person for
each, to be endorsed by the county.
Mr.. McHenry having been chosen Sen
ator two years ago to fill vacancy,
aud having served at but one session,
presents reasonable claim upon the
county to be recommended by it for re-
nomination by the district conference.
Senator Buckalew has urged no claim
upon the Congressional nomination, but
will be presented by this county be-
cause the nomination ought to claim
and command hin, into the public SER
vice. Such men are needed at Wash
ington, men who have had experience
in public business and can be trusted
to do honest public work. The NOM
ination of President Judge is unopposed,
and we must be permitted to use the
language of another and say, that his
continuance upon the Bench will honor
the district as much as it will honor
him. In advance of the convention we
say nothing of contested nominations
to be made by it, nor will we anticipate
results in our Congressional and Sena-
torial districts; but upon the whole we
have reason TO anticipate the ultimate
formation of an able and honorable
district and county ticket for the sup
port of the people.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-07-28
THE STANDING COMMITTEE.

The success of the campaign depends
greatly upon the energy and activity
of the standing committee. None but
live men should be placed on the COM
mittee, men who will see that clubs are
organized, all democratic voters are
registered, that proper places are pro-
vided for holding public meetings, and
that no democrat remains at home on
election day. To do all this requires
time and labor, but when it is done, the
result is that our majority increases.
Every voting district should select
member who is capable and willing to
undertake the labor of the position, and
not be satisfied with man who will
take NO interest in the matter, and who
acts only as figure head to fill the re-
quired number of members. 1t is GER
tain that the democratic nominees of
this county will be elected even if there
were no standing committee But the
work that is to be done has an object
beyond the county limits it is the
election of the state ticket. With vic
tory more certain than it has been in
twenty years, this is no time for trifling.
Notwithstanding the dissensions in
the ranks of our opponents, the Demo
cracy must work without ceasing.
But the standing committee cannot per-
form all that is to be done. They must
have the earnest cooperation and assis-
tance of every citizen who desires the
overthrow of republican misrule and
the establishment of an honest state
government.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-07-28
Democratic State Committee

The recently appointed members of
the democratic state committee, in re,
sponse to call of w. U. Hensel, the
new chair man, met in the room of the
Jefferson association, Harrisburg, Tues.
day. Chairman Hensel called the meet
irg to order, and f. p. Kisner, secre-
tary of the old committee, acted as Sc
cretary. a call of the roll showed
forty-nine members present, the absen-
tees being from Pittsburg and ALE
gheny. The committee then took action
upon the contest of Messrs. Doyle and
Matthews for representation from the
Second district of Philadelphia. AS
each man had received the vote of three
delegates from his district at the state
convention, the difficulty was adjusted
by placing each on the committee with
the privileges of half vote each.
The following resolution, offered by
Mr.. Burchfeld, of Clearfeld, was un-
animously adopted;
Resolved That the secretaries this day
chosen shall be the officers of this commit
ttt NItH III SSNalDll, anu lut tIulIliluu Vi
the state committee shall have power to APP
point such secretaries, stenographers and
agents as he may deem proper to aid him
in his personal work in charge of cam
paign.
Mr. Blackford, of York, Offered the
following, which was adopted without
dissenting voice:
Resolved. That the Chairman of the state
committee shall have exclusive charge of
the campaign. emay appoint such finance
and executive committees rs his Judgment
approves, and he may employ and pay spe-
cial agents to aid in state organization in
any section or county in the state.
1t having been known by the com
mittee that Chauncey +. Black,J. Simp-
son Africa and Mortimer +. Elliot,
for lieutenant governor.
secretary of internal affairs and con
gressman-at-large, We're in this city, a
committee was appointed to wait upon
these gentlemen and invite them to the
meeting. Upon their arrival each made
a brief address relative to the campaign,
and after informal reports had been re-
ceiyed from the different counties as to
the outlook, which were of very ia
vorable character the committee ad-
journed.

Ex-senator Buokalew,
WHAT lie TIIIaKs OF TIE POLITICAL
SITUATION.


A representative Of the Wilkesbare
Union Leader recently interviewed Ex-
Senator Buckalew with the following
result:
Corr,-"What is your opinion Sena-
tor, of the ticket the democrats nomi-
mated at their recent state conven-
tionf'
~ think it an excellent ticket wa,
the response, "The convention could
not well have made better ticket"
Corr.--'Then you are acquai nted
with the candidates"
Mr.. B,-"Yes, / know them all.
Each is well fitted for the station for
which he has been named. Mr.. Pat
tison has made most excellent record
and developed no weaknesses, Mr..
Black has much of the force of char,
acter and other elements of his fathers
strength. Mr.. Africa has been tried
and not found waiting, With Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Elliot | sat in constitu-
tional convention, where / came to
know them both intimately, Mr..
Clark's father was James Clark, also
of Indiana county. He was o member
of the constitutional convention of 1888,
and therein did excellent service. lie
was also canal commissioner, and left
the board with credit, something not
a few of those who held that position
failed to do, The son was highly es-
teemed by his colleagues in the '73 con
yention. He is first-class lawyer,

DELEGATE ELECTION.

On Saturday, August 5th, the demo.
Gratis of this county will elect delegates
TO the convention to be held on Tues
day, August 8th, to name candidates
for the several county and district of,
fees to be filed this fall. 1t is impor-
taut that every member of the party
should attend this election and cast his
ballot for the candidates he desires to
have nominated. 1t is too often the
case that many fail TO vote at delegate
election, and after the nominations are
made, these same men find fault with
the nominees. Every voter of intelli-
gence has, or ought to have some pre-
ference among the candidates, and it is
his duty to himself and his party to go
to the primary election and express his
choice, In this way only can the con
vention represent the voice of the peo-
pie. When only few vote for dele
gates, il makes the party merely ma
chine governed by minority,
Another reason why there should be
a full attendance is that under the rules
of the party, chapter ii, rule TX, where
there is tie vote in convention, made
by instructions, the candidate who has
received the highest popular vote shall
be nominated. If weexpect to get out
a full vote at the general election, we
must begin to work now, and there is
nothing that will help along the good
cause, by exciting interest in the cam
paign, more than by polling a big
vote on August 5th. 1t will show that
the democracy is still alive, and means
business.
