The Way To Win .
THE SIMPLE ISSUE IN PENNSYLVANIA.

THE SIMPLE ISSUE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Baltimore Day.
When ex-Attorney General Lear, of
Pennsylvania, an Independent from con.
viction, but in practice Stalwart, said
to newspaper correspondent that
General Beaver can only be elected by
the aid of Democratic votes" he spoke
the language of truth and soberness, as
he we'll knew. The difference in num-
bers between the Democratic and Re.
publican parties in that state at the last
presidential election was something over
$1,000 votes, and no Pennsylvania poll
tician would to-day hazard his reputation
by the prediction that Stewards vote
will fall below these figures. On the
contrary, the Independent candidate is
more likely to poll over than under
twice that number rendering it impossi
BILE for Beaver to succeed, unless by the
aid of Democratic votes cast openly for
aim, or thrown upon Labor candidate
so as not to count against him. That
efforts in both these directions are be.
ing made by the Stalwart leaders is

tempt to disguise the fact that the cleo
ton of Beaver depends entirely upon
the ability of the Stalwarts to carry it
out. No Democratic leader or voter can
pretend ignorance of the situation. IL is

ed by any man for any reason, does SO

great victory in this fight is TO attend to
their own business and leave the Repub

out full Democratic vote. The excel.

will secure the votes of many who nev.

SALT LAKE CITY.
SALT LAKE Cry, August 23-Tbis
morning Hon. q. A. Tucker an Epgl;.h
gentleman from New South Wales. with
letters OF introduction to the Governors
OF States, asking permission to visit the
insane aaylums and jails, published a
letter in the Tribune giving a description
OF his visit to the Utah Insane AsylIn
here. Yesterday accompanied by Uni
ted States Marshal Ireland and Mr..
Neal, OF Louisville, KY, the father.in-
law OF Gov. Murray, Mr.. Tucker visited
this asylum, which is under The charge,
OF DIR. Seymour 3. Young, nephew Of
Brigham Young, and three Mormon
Commissioners.
Mr.. Tucker says he found 81 patients
g females and u males-in the most
filthy condition imaginable. Some were
in iron cages outside the main buildiny-
while Others were in irons. bound hand
and foot. OF these patients two were
perfectly sane, and have no idea why
they are confined. One OF these sane
persons is a man named Sherman, who
has been confined for ten years. He
was robbed OF his wife by a Mormon
polygamist and has been confined in
this place ever since. He appears to DO
gentleman who has seen better days,
and is from the East. This man is in
one of the cages in the yard, which he
has fixed in tasty manner with crude
tools OF his own make.
A daughter Of John Taylor was for
merly confined in this asylum, but has
been removed to private house. Her
insanity was caused by her father en-.
deavoring to force her into polygamy.
The inmates of the institution ale
punished with club and strap-the
club for men, the strap for women. Mr..
Tucker closes by saying: 6" have, dur
ing the last four months, visited four
asylums in New South Wales, three in

More Trouble for the Stalwarts.

The Stalwarts of the state are meet
ing with greater troubles than they an
ticipated in securing the endorsement
of Cameron and the ring, through the
success of their candidate, Beaver. The
revolt of the white Independents has
produced unexpected fruit, and the
colored voter is coming to the front,
vigorously demanding the right TO vote
as he pleases. Ever since the eniran.
chisement of the negro as voter few
of the pretended leaders, who, if they
have not more brains have more brass
than the average colored voter, have as.
sumed to direct and dictate how the
entire colored vote shall be cast, and
have gone so far as to demand and re-
ceive pay for their influence in control
ling that vote. firing of being used as
the marketable property of w. d. For
ten, w. L. Nesbit and few Others who
have captured the organization Of the
Equal Rights League, to run it for their
individual advantage, the colored voters
of Pittsburgh last week held meeting
to protest against the actions of these
assumed leaders. Mr.. Smith. colored
candidate for jury commissioner, was
the principal speaker, and denounced
the way in which the State League is
operated. The resolutions denounce
"Forten, Nesbit and the entire ma
chine" and declare that the Estate
League has made its last sale of the
colored voters of Allegheny City to the
bosses of Philadelphia" The colored
voters of Wilkesbarre on Saturday last
held similar indignation meeting, and
did not stop at denouncing the leaders
who were making arrangements to sell
their votes, but went farther and de.
clared their intention to support the
Independent Republican ticket, which
they declare is the representative Of the
underlying principles of the Republi'
can party.
In addition to the revolt among the
colored men of Pittsburgh and Wilkes.
barre, a colored Pattison club was last
week organized in Harrisburg with a
membership of twenty-four, and to cap
the climax of negro independence, a
new paper called the Spectator, owned
and edited by colored men, has made
its appearance in Philadelphia, flying at
its mast the entire Independent ticket.
The Spectator is said to be backed finan.
cally by Robert Purvis and James Stills,
two of the most influential colored men
in the state. 1t is particularly bitter
against Forten, Nesbit, Casey & Co.,
whom it charges with making money
by the sale of the colored vote at every
election.
Mr.. Cooper will need to be looking
closely alonu his lines for when there
is trouble in the colored ranks there is
good cause for uneasiness in the camp
of the bosses.-Lancaster IntelHgencer.

They Don't Like IT.

The stalwart journals are not at all
pleased with the official record OF Con.
troller Pattison. The fact that under
his upright and vigilant administration
of the important municipal Office which
he has filed for nearly five years the
debt of Philadelphia has been greatly
reduced, the expenditures of the city
government largely lessened and the
tax rate materially lowered, gives them
no pleasure whatever. "He is an hon.
est man." they admit, "but what of
that ?" they ask. "rhere are plenty of
honest men who cannot be elected gov.
ernor," they reply. But it often hap.
pens that men Of sterling integrity in
private life are debauched when they
become ofliceholders, they do not hold
the public interest as of the same sane.
tity as private right; or in an evil hour
they succumb to the arts and importuni-
ties of personal and political friends.
Robert +. Pattison's public career, how.
ever, proves him to be not only an
honest man but one who cannot be
swerved from his integrity by any influ-
ences however powerful. On this very
account he is the man whom the people
prefer for the highest Office in their
gift; aud most likely for the same rea-
son he does not suit the tastes Of the
stalwart editors. The latter would have
been suited by Democratic candidate
whose public acts did not prove him a
man of high moral courage. They
don't like Pattison's record, but just
what to do about 1t is their difficulty.
1t is as unassailable as the character OF
the man lie unimpeachable.- Harrisburg

Pennsylvania has been cursed long
enough with machine rule. For fifteen
years combination of political .janiza-

to suit their chief; and they snap their
fingers at the good .natured voters while
they swindle them. For fifteen years
they have taught the doctrine that pub.

quisite to reward partisans, and place
where the holder is to make money.
Their preaching and practice have rear.

Many of them have jumped up sudden

from the driver of a garbage cart to a

is probably the least of their offending
they have debauched our politics until
it fairly stinks with corruption. One
would naturally suppose we have had
enough of this sort of thing. but the
bosses themselves do not think SO. They
ask the burdened taxpayers TO give
them a new lease of power, and put for

GARFIELD AND RosEcRANs.
An Army cflcsr's story-scene at Social
Gathering
,cial dispatch to the RD-USroS.l

Especial dispatch to the RECORD UHioN
CHICAGO. April 1st.-An army officer who
saw vigorous service during the rebsllion with
the Army OF the Cumberland, and who has
since been an active participant in frontier
army work amore the Indians, con-
tributes a valuable point or two to the Gar
fsld-R secrans sffair. He says that after
the Stone River fight the officers of Roee-
Grams staff met together in a tent and had
celebration. As spirits we're broached there
was some animated discussion about the cen.
duct of the campaign. Ia the heat of liquor
aud discussion, old joe McKibbin, of Cali
fornia fame, gi4Lt in frame. dropped The
veil and openly denounced r osscrans and his
management. His language was go personal
ard offensive, aud 90 manife-tly improper to-
ward his superior eff ,er, that General Gar
field took exceptions to il, and the scandal Of
a personal egcoUnter vas with difficulty
averted. Garfield was then, as he has ever
siLce been, said tnat officer one Ct the warm
est of Rosecrars' defenders, and lie gave ou.
no uncertain sound st the mess regarding
bis position toward his commander.
The circumstance is valuable, as showing
that Blaine was right, and that demorali-
zation did exist to some extent in the Army
of the Cumberland, for McKibtiu had
many friends who secretly exulted that he
had openly spoken what many had said in
private or groups by themselves. 1t was also
a well-known and scandalous fact, said the
soldier, that there was a regular and sys-
tematic leakage in the Quartermaster's De-
parsment, and that General Ducat, of this
city. could, if he would. tell story that
would forever settle the fact that demoraliza-
ton was rampant and that insubordination
was on the point of becoming manifest, be.
cluse r ,secrans refused to sustain certain
arrests made on account of frauds committed.
The army was pretty well watched by spies
of the Government, one of whom was eventu-
ally given almost absolute power over the
"swindle department" This was exceed
ingly distasteful to old Rosey," and but for
the happy turn in affairs that wouad up the
necessity for the army of the Cumberland,
there would have been rupture of mighty
proportions. The officer who furnishes these
facts speaks highly of the military genius of
Rosecrans, of his bravery and scientific mill
tary attainmsnts, but says he lacked in the
management of details of the army. He
was there as he had Eeen many times in pri-
vate life, where he has worked up great
schemes, but suffered them to fall through by
lack of vigorous effort at the proper time.

MORNING SESSION.

A woman, accompanied by girl of Is,
was arrested on December 2Sth for shop.
lifting in one of the grand Paris shops.
The girl escaped. The woman steadily re-
fused her address but woman employed
in the establishment recognized her as Mrs.
M, reputed to be of Independent
means, living near her. At the address in-
dicated, the porter said her daughter was
in. She, however, refused to answer
until the police said they would break open
the door. The rooms were piled with
plunder, and the girl confessed that for
three years they had lived entirely by shop
lifting and pawning or selling the goods.
The neighborhood had not the slightest
suspicion Of it.
