Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1882-06-15

The present annual celebration OF the
various exercises has been no exception
to this marked rule. All the features of
this weeks programme have been nota-
ble not only for high order of literary
excellence, but for the enthusiasm
which they have awakened among those
who have been here to see and hear.
The financial condition of Franklin and
Marshall, as we'll as its literary prospects
and morale, was never so good as now.
STILL waiting to hear from Wana-
maker.' The procession can't move yet.
As to the statement made by General
Grant in one of his dispatches that the
army of the Cumberland was "dcmoral-
lied by Chickamauga, General Rosecrans
pronounces it "dcvilish and cruel cal
umny," whose author had the cold
blooded villainy" to deny the army its
need of praise after Missionary Ridge.
AFTER awhile Chris Magec will rise up
and declare that he was suffering from
toothache when he sent this dispatch to
Chairman Tom Cooper

UNCLE JOHN CESSNA has been busy at
tending to college affairs this week ; and.
meantime, his scheme to get Hoyt to re-
convene the Legislature to rcdistrict the
district and get the Stalwarts out of
trouble, languishes. And the World takes
advantage of Cessna's engagements with
the literary fellers to say: "Bless tho
dear old lunatic's honest heart and stupid
head, doesn't he understand what the re-
volt against Cameron means yet?''
DURING the campaign last fail Chairman
Cooper, of the Republican state commit
tee, sent polite notes to the employees Of
the Philadelphia custom house, request
ing a contribution of 1 per cent. of their
salaries to aid tho fight for Baily as state
treasurer. Tho amount requested was
s2,994.45, but only So, ,521.45 was received.
Some of the employees shielded themselves
behind the principles and rules of the
civil service reform association, and re-
fused to contribute anything others
gave what they pleased. In view Of the
contemplated changes in the federal Offices
in the city the list of tho delinquents was
made up few days ago and sent to Sena-
tor J. Donald Cameron, so that he could
scan it and learn who comes to the aid of
the party in a time of trouble. Charles
J. Arms, formerly of this city, and later
private secretary of Collector Hartranft,
heads the list.
TIE Wilkesbarre Record explains Gov.
Hoyt's position to he that inasmuch as
he was the recipient Of the entire work
ing force of tho machine towards his elec-
tion to tho gubernatorial chair. he has
followed frequently beyond his Judgment
in serving the faction that claimed to not
only represent but own tho Republican
party. He may now differ with it in judg-
ment, and directly condemn its methods,
but while he is enjoying the fruit of its
labor, ho will not lead movement to its
destruction if he would ever consent to
occupy such an attitude. The Record does
"not agree with him in this sensitive ac-
knowledgmeut Of political fealty, and yet
We recognize it as part of his nature,
and under the mistaken theory of proving
loyal to the party which elected him gov
ernor, he will in heart and decd remain an
obedient servant OF the machine to tho
last hour Of his official life, in every act
that does not involve an abandonment of
principle or positive dishonesty
