THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

Governor HOyt's FRO clamatiOn in Regard to
tho IIl-Centenniel.
Governor Hoyt has issued tho following
proclamation
HARRISBURG, Oct. 1G, 1SS2.--Whercas,
two hundred years have elapsed since the
landing of William Penn and the founding
Of the colony of Pennsylvania, and it is
fitting that the Bi- Centennial OF tho event
should be celebrated by the people of the
commonwealth and inasmuch as arrange.
ments have been made for such celebration
by municipal corporations, organized rs.
sociations and private citizens in which it
is desirable and proper that al! persons
within our border should participate.
Now, therefore, in order that tho object
of such celebration and cOmmemoration
may be accomplished, l, Henry M. Hoyt,
governor of Pennsylvania, do hereby de-
clare the twenty-fourth day of October
instant a legal holiday for the general
cessation of business, and do recommend
that the authorities and people Of our
cities, boronghs and towns institute such
observances as shall signalize our graft
t,,de for tho success, under divine orGina-
tion, of the holy experiment in behalf of
civil and religious liberty which the great
founder OF our happy state inauguratcd.

They Have the Right.

The Philadelphia Committee of One
Hundred has put in nomination its own
candidates for sheriff and register, not
finding any Of the candidates for these
Offices nominated by the political parties
to be just suited to their minds. This
is a very proper thing for the One Hun
dred to do, and if tho good citizens of
Philadelphia agree with them that
neither the Republican nor the Demo-
cratic nominees are fit men for the places
they seek, the candidates of the One
Hundred will be elected provided there
are enough of such good citizens, 80
thinking, to vote for them. The One
Hundred are submitting their judgment
to the ratification of the Philadelphia
voters, and it will he likely to be endors-
ed just in proportion as it is good or
bad. Our opinion is that the extent
of the endorsement is not likely
to be hattering to the self-esteem
of the One Hundred because there
happens to he some men on the political
tickets who are quite sufficiently good to
satisfy the sentiment of the voters of
their party. The ticket of the One Hun
dred will not be likely to get many Dem
cratic votes, because the Democratic
candidates are believed by the Demo
Gratis to be fit men for the offices
for which the party has named
them. The Republican candidate for
register is also believed to be generally
acceptable to his party. The Republ-
can candidate for sheriff is justly objec-
tionable to the sentiment for which the
One Hundred speak, and he it is against
whom they are particularly inclined.
They could have most effectively opposed
him by endorsing the Democratic candi.
date. 1t seemed, however, to be putting
too much Democracy in their mixture
to support Democrat for the influential
Office of sheriff. The stomach of the
One Hundred could only endure the
moderate dose it took in swallowing the
Democratic candidate for judge and
SO the support of the Democratic Grim
for sheriff is made indirect instead OF
direct. 1t may have been wise the Re-
publican followers of the One Hundred
may have refused the prescription of
Grim and Arnold presented without dis.
guise. The One Hundred know them.
selves and theirs. Their performance is
all their own they pay the bills and
they are entitled to have it presented
according to their liking. The Democ-
racy has no fault to find. 1t does not
care to have its nominees dictated to it,
and does not desire to dictate those Of
others.
