0ameron's Purpose.

Cameron's primary and principal OBJ
ject is to obtain control of the legisla
ture and especially to elect the state
senators who will participate in the
election of his successor in the United
States senate in 1885. He would be
entirely willing to sacrifice General
Beaver and the rest of the candidates
on the stalwart state ticket to accom-
plish this object. Four years ago over
lures were made by the Cameron lea
ders to prominent democrats to the ef
feet that if the Legislature were conced-
ed to the republicans the democratic
state ticket would be permitted TO sue
ceed by default. The proposition was
not entertained by the democrats and
the greenback organization was then
used by the Cameron managers to elect
their ticket. 1t may be safely accepted
as fact that Cameron is ready to
repeat his programme of 1878 in the
canvass about to open. He will first
endeavor to break the independent col
umn by some cunning device of pre-
tended compromise. Failing in that
he may go so far as to make any con-
cessions demanded by the independents
which will not initiate against his ef-
fort to carry the legislature. Later on
he will undertake to utilize the green
back organizations in capturing demo-
cratic legislative districts and will of
course resort to his usual tactics in the
mining and manufacturing districts.
There is but single ligament of any
strength that unites Cameron to Beaver
He believes that the latter makes the
best figure that can be found for the
top of his ticket. He is shrewd enough
TO understand that unless q candidate
of some personal strength heads the
ticket a full republican vote (Which
will be essential to the success of bis
legislative candidates. cannot be polled.
If he were certain that Beavers place
could be supplied in this regard, he
would find no difficulty in consenting
to the unconditional withdrawal of the
one-legged hero.-Patriot.

AT meeting of the Executive Com.
mittee of the Civil Service Reform As
sociation Of Philadelphia, held June
9th, 1882, the following minute was
adopted
When, in a free country, rulers elect
ed to carry out definitely expressed
principles of government, pledge them
selves to line of action founded on
those principles, and fail to redeem
their pledges, it behooves the people to
denounce such failure in no uncertain
tones.
The platform of the Republican party
which elected Chester A. Arthur to the
Vice Presidency of the United States
asserted the duty and the necessity of
thorough and genuine reform of the
civil service.
In his letter of acceptance of the
Nice-Presidency, and in his first mes
sage to the Congress of the United
States after he had become President,
Mr.. Arthur distinctly both affirmed
and reiterated his approval of and his
intention to carry out the principles of
civil service reform and in his mes
sage to Congress this assertion rose
above a promise to party aud became
a pledge to the nation. The Civil
Service Reform Association of Phila
delphia has twice brought to his notice
the existence in this city of practices
totally at variance with any honest in
depreciation of the expression "Civil
Service Reform, said abuses being the
assessment of Federal oflice-holders for
partisan political purposes, under the
thin disguise of "voluntary contribu-
tions." These communications have
met with no response. The President
has it in his power TO stop these abuses
by word, and that word is as yet un-
spoken, and the allowance to the ex-
tent of public notoriety of the same
abuses under his very eyes in the city
of Washington renders it matter of
reasonable supposition that he has no
intention of abating them.
In view of these facts, the Civil Ser
vice Reform Association of Philadel-
phia puts on record its belief that be is
accessory TO some of the worst abuses
of the Civil Service-abuses which de-
grade the manhood and impair the pol
itical freedom of American Citizens (;
and it calls upon all citizens of the
United States, who favor Civil Service
Reform, to express by voice and vote,
wherever and whenever practicable,
their determination that he be held re-
sponsible for the continuance of said
abuses.
Resoloed, That this minute be reported
10 the National Civil Service Reform
League and be published in TIE OivH
Service Record

The Stalwart leaders are talking of
an effort to reunite the two factions of
the Republican party. They will proba-
bly, make propositions which they know
the Independents cannot accept and
then go TO the party with the cry that
they have done all in their power for
harmony, and put the responsibility of
defeat on the Independents. 1t is
another of Cameron's little tricks.

We would call the attention of the
county standing committee to Rule II
chapter w, of the Democratic rules,
which is as follows:
The Standing Committee shall,
whenever necessary, make an appor-
tionment of delegates to the several
districts under these rules and publish
it, with the rules as amended, in the
Democratic newspapers of the county,
at least two weeks before each annual
convention.

The Malley boys and Blanche Doug
lass have been acquitted of the murder
of Jennie Cramer at New Haven. AL
though the evidence did not fix her
death directly on them, the general
sentiment is that they were morally re-

1t has been frequently charged that
nominations have been secured at the
Democratic county convention by un-
lawful means. In plain English, that
it is the custom to pay delegates money
for their votes. If these charges were
true the law was violated, and fraud
practiced upon the honest voters of the
party. In 1878 the following resolution
was adopted:
RESOLVED, that the Standing Committee be
authorized to examine any charges which
may be made to them, of violation of law
or Democratic rules by any candidate in
connection with the delegate election or
convention, and if such charges shall be
sustained to take all necessary steps to
vindicate the law and the ru'es of the
party.
Although the allegations of unlawful
practices have been general, and per-
haps in some cases untrue, still no
county committee nor no individual has
ever had the courage to take the neces.
sary steps to have the charges investi-
gated. If it be true that the Democrat
ic candidates are in the habit of using
means to accomplish a nomination,
that are strictly prohibited by the law
it is high time some steps were taken
to put an end to such practices. If
there shall be any reason to believe
that any successful candidate for any
Office before the coming convention to
be held on the Sth of August has in
any way violated the above Act of AS
sembly, it will be the duty of the
Standing committee to investigate the
charges. For our part we have never
placed much confidence in the numer.
GUS rumors that are set afoat after
every convention by disappointed can
didates and their friends, but in order
that the matter may be tested The Co
LuMBIAN hereby offers reward of fifty
dollars for the first conviction of any
person for violation of the law in this
regard, and will use all means in its
power to ascertain the truth, if any
such methods are practiced. While the
Democratic party is seeking to wrest
the control of the state government
from the hands of the Republicans, and
claims to be the party of reform, we
must show by our works that we mean
what we say, and this can be done in
no better way than by insisting that no
fraud shall be practiced in our county
affairs, and that every man who is nom
mated for county office this fall must
get il fairly and honestly at the hands
of the people, and not by the unlawful
use of money or other valuable thing
which the law forbids.

There has been too much delay in
selecting a chairman of the Democratic

Tns Razor Back Hor,

To the t.aveler through Texas one OF
the strangest and most peculiar features
of the landscape is the razor-back hog.
He is of the Swiss cottage sty,e Of arch
itecture. His physical outline is angu-
lar TO degree unknown outside Of a
textbook on the science Of geometry.
His ears, or the few RAGS and tattors Of
them that the dog. have left, are curled
back with knowing, vagGbondish air.
His tail has no curl in it--but it hangs
aft, limp rs "a Wet uish-rag hung out Of
q back window TO dry. The highest
peak Of his corrugated back is six inches
above the level Of the root Of his tail.
He does not walk with the slow and
stately step Of the pratrican Berkshire,
but usually goes in a lively trot He
leaves the impression that he was late
starting in the morning and is making
up for lost time, or that he is in doubt
about the payment Of that check, and is
hUrying to get it cashed before the
bank closes.
The country raZor-bacE prowls around
in the woods and lives on acorns. pecan
nuts and roots when he can spare time
.he climbs under his owners fence and
assists in harvesting Che corn crop. IN
this respect he is ueigIborly TO a fault.
and, when his duty TO his owners crop
will allow, he will readily turn in and
assist the neighbors, even working ut
night rather than see the crop spoil for
want of attention.
Iio does not know the luxury of a sty.
He never gets fat, and from the day of
his birth, sometimes two years roll into
eternity before he is big enough to kill
Crossing the razor-back with the blue
blooded stock makes but little improve
ment. The only effective way to inn
prove him is to cross him with q rail-
road train. lie then becomes an im-
ported Berkshire or Poland-China hoe,
and if he does not knock the train oil
the track, the railroad companypays for
him AT the rate OF 81 a pound, for which
they are allowed the mournful privilege
of shoveling the remains of the track.
The ham OF the country razor-back
is more juicy than the hind leg of an
iron fre-dog, but not quite SO fat as a
pine knot. - Teas S0iiBgS
