One of the dealers arrested for selling

Chicago estimates its population at

music hall and art museum to cost s1,.
$50, 900.
CONSIDERABLE comment aud no end Of
speculation is INDUCED in over the fact
that neither the president nor any Of the
cabinet, nor a solitary Ohio congressman
attended the ceremonial of laying the cor
ner-stone of the Garfield Memorial church
on last Sunday.
THE Valley Union, Of Coatesville, is the
worst yet. In printing the first resolution
of the Democratic platform it gives it
thus "We do not protest against what is
called the boss system, an also the plum
deripg of officeholders by assessments of
money for political purposes, ETC." The
Union should either mend its proof-rcad-
ing or its morals.
BALTIMORE stands eighth in the list of
manufacturing cities in the United States.
Cincinnati next preceding it aud Pitts
burgh following close after it. New
York leads, Philadelphia follows aud Chi
cago takes the third place. The cities
that have made the greatest strides in
commerce are also those which excel in
turcd wares.
TIE alleged interview Of Hon. w. p.
Schcll. published in some of the Philadel-
phia papers, in regard to Mr.. Pattison
having been nominated through the aid Of
the Camcrons, the Patriot is assured, never
took place. and II, such remarks were ever
made by Mr.. Schell. Ga the contrary he
thinks that all Of the nominations arc ex-
cellent, aud that the Canerons had moth
ing whatever to do with any of them.
THAT staunch Democratic journal, the
Lebanon Adrertiser, begins the 34th year
of its unfaltering devotion to sound politi-
cal principles under the direction of its
veteran editor, w. NJ. Breslin. who received
kindly consideration for the nomination of
ongressman-at-large at Harrisburg and
might have been nominated save for geo.
graphical reasons. No man deserves more
grateful recognition than this sturdy wheel
horse.
THERE is no possible excuse for the
Harrisburg Telegraph republishing with
out correction the groundless insinuation
of the Ne,c Era that the Democratic plat
form was doctored after it had been re-
ported and sent out. For the Telegraph,
which took it fresh from the convention,
printed it correctly the same day it was
adopted and can find upon an examination
of its files that the correction made was
rendered necessary by the blunder Of the
telegraph operator only. But as organs
must be organic, it may be asking too
much to expect the Telegraph to tell the
whole truth.
THE Harrisburg Telegraph keeps pub
fishing the following letter regularly to
lock and hermetically seal the hypocriti-
cal lips of the fellows who refused to con-
tribute to tho party which gives them
Office where they earn more money for
less work than in any other employment,
because they call themselves Garfield Re-
publicans -
MY DEAR HUBBEL Tell Gen. Brady
appreciate his work. Please let me know
how the departments generally are doing.
j. A. GARFIELD.
And the Telegraph adds: " Garfield was
a practical politician. He believed in party
discipline and campaign assessments.
Hypocrities who have been hiding and
dodging behind Garfield's headstore for
the past nine months can't change his
words, and acts, and letters. though they
try ever so hard by lying to do 500
The Nen Era and other newspapers re.
peat in various forms the story that
6 fourteen men, whose salaries range from
one thousand to twelve hundred dollars,
went out of the Office oi City Controller
Pattison to aid their chief in his fight for
place on the Democratic ticket ;" and
that 4" Mr.. Pattison sent number of the
clerks in his Office to help 'whoop her
up at Harrisburg. Tho names of the
men and their salaries are given No one
has denied it." Mr.. Pattison has stated
explicitly that in view vf the mention OF
bis name as candidate Cor governor lie
refused to allow five of his clerks who had
been elected delegates to 60 to the conven-
tion and other persons were substituted
for them. Afterwards some of the at,
taches of his Office asked permission to
attend the convention as spectators and it
was only granted them on condition that
they find some one to do their work dur
ing their absence. Anyone who was pre-
sent at the convention knows that it was
very free from outside whooping up.''

Whatever offers Mr.. Cameron's mana
gers and candidates may make, the du, Y
Of the Independents to their cause and
party is clear and their path unmistakable.
