POLITICS IN DOG DAYS.

Some Reoeas Nominations.
Philadelphia Record.
Politics during dog days remains in a
quiescent state. Even candidate Stewart's
challenge to General Beaver failed to eau
moro than a ripple on the political sea.
At the Republican headquarters tho i'm
preston prevailed that the challenge
would be treated with silent contempt by
the Regular Republican standard bearer.
Chairman Cooper declared that Beaver
would not notice the challenge. dc
claimed that there is not and never was
any issue between tho rival candidates.
The hopeful field marshars face wore a0
innocent and happy look as he expressed
himself. He was about to take his de
parture for the seashore, and was in ju-
bilant frame of mind in anticipation of
few hours piscatorial sport with Secretary
Quay at Atlantic City. "NO, no." said
Mr.. Cooper, "there will be no joint dis
cussions." Seizing his gripsack, duster
and cotton umbrella the Delaware county
statesman darted down stairs and disap-
peared.
Field Marshal Hensel, of the Democra-
tic column, undisturbed by tho flies and
heat, sticks to his post in the Girard house,
aud occasionally runs out to his home in
Lancaster. The outlook affords him a
large degree OF qualification. When the
cool weather sets in head quarters will
be secured on Chestnut street, and the
Democratic campaign will begin in earnest.
The Republican convention Of the sixth,
Pennsylvania district, at Chester, yester-
day renominated William Ward for repre-.
sentative in Congress. Robert Chadwick
aud w. G. Powell were nominated for
assemblymen.
The convention was intensely Stalwart,
the Independents not having attended the
primaries. BY the denomination of Ward
to fourth term the rotary custom is
broken, the candidate under the old sys-
tenn belonging to Chester county. State
Senator Everhart and Smedley Darlington,
of Chester, were put in nomination, but
received short shrift. The nomination OF
Powell for tho Legislature is said to have
greatly incensed the friends of Isaac p.
Garrett, the present member, who was
elected to fill the uDexpired term of his
cousin. who died PoHel's friends re-
sorted to 4 sharp trick, by which votes
were drawn from Garrett and cast for a
third candidate, thus enabling Powell
to slip through. The Independents declare
tho ticket easy to whip.
From Heavier to Stewart.
The Chambersburg Public Opinion, an
able aud influential Republican journal,
hoists the Stewart ticket and enters on a
vigorous support of it and the principles it
represents. Public Opinion has always
been anti Cameron in tone aud was a
supporter of the boilers in the senatorial
fight. But its independence has until now
been of the reform-within.t .the-party sort
and it has waved the Beaver ticket since
it's nomination, refusing, however, to place
BrOsius on it for the reason that it did not
recognize the legality of his nomination.
Col. Guthrie kefutes y Canard.
When Colonel Presley N. Guthrie, OF
Pittsburgh, commanding tho Eighteenth
regiment at Camp Reynolds, was shown a
dispatch from Philadelphia saying it was
| reported he would vote for Beaver, his
first remark was ut is lie out of the
whole CLOTH" Then he added: Why
should vote for Beaver? lam Demo
crat aud come from family of Democrats
Is it likely that a man who has been a
| Democrat for the past twenty years would
desert his colors now? And, more than
all, why should vote for Beaver? We
have nothing in common. Our relations
are strictly official. The report is an out
rage. am for Pattison, first, last and all
the time. Put that as emphatical!y a.
you can. shall not only vote for PattisOr
but shall work for him with all the
power possess. Tho whole story is lie
aud an insult"
