Not an off Year by Any Means.

From sam IIudson's Philadelphia Truth.
This is not an ION" year in pennsyl-
vania politics. 1t is decidedly an "on"
year. The people have greater stake
in the struggle now going on between
II two parties in the legislature than
they have ever had in a political con-
test since Pennsylvania was state.
The life of their form of government is
in jeopardy. II the constitution can
be defied in its mandate respecting the
apportionment it may he deIied in any
other of its mandates. II the people
can be denied their right to just
representation they can also be
denied any other of their rights.
The organic law must he held toget her
in all its parts or it will fall to broken
fragments. Like a chain the con-
stltution is only rs strong as its weak
est link. The republican staiwarts
have resolved that sine Cameron'S
chances Of being returned to the Unit
ed States senate will be lessened by o
bedience to the constitution, therefore
the constitution shall not be obeyed. 1t
is this link in the fundamental law
that is being strained in the legislature.
The democratic party is striving to
bold the constitutional chain together.
The republican stalwarts are trying to
break it. The people must give their
strength to the democratic party or the
constitution will be riven in twain.
There can be no doubt about what they
will do. They are alive to the question
before them. They cannot be deceived
by the cry that this is an an ''off'' year.
They know that it is an Ion" year, in
which they must determine whether
they will be ''off' with the constitu-
ton o. with The Cameron obstruction
lists. They will soon decide. The OBJ
structionists must go. Turn the con-
SpiratOrS out.

Butler Nominated.

BosToN, Sept 26. The democratic
state convention to-day was called to
order hy Jonas IL. French, chairman of
the state committee, and the officers of
the state committee were made the Of
Gcers of the convention. Ia his ad
dress Mr., French spoke at some length
on national affairs, reviewed the recent
address OF the republican state couven-
ton referred to the administration of
Governor Butler in the highest terms,
detailing the important events that
have occurred during the past year, and
prec icted a great victory for the demo
cratic party throughout the country.
At the conclusion there was generous
applause. There was some heated dis
cussion over the appointment of the
fifteen members of the state central
committee. A motion to nominate
General Butler for governor by accla-
nation was unanimously carried by a
rising vote and was followed by cheers.
The committee appointed to nominate
the balance OF the state ticket re-
ported as follows For lieutenant gov
ernor, Freder o. Prince, of Boston !;
secretary of state, Charles Markle, of
Springfield ; for treasurer and receiver,
General G. II. ingalls,, of New Bedford; !;
for attorney general, John w. Cum
mings, of Fall River, and for auditor,
John Hopkins, of Millburn.

Judge Hoadley's health is nearly
restored and he has returned to O.
hio. The Judge expects to be act
lively engaged in the canvass until
election day. The prospects of the
democrats to carry the Buckeye
state are very promising. The de-
fection among the colored vote is
making the republicans feel very un
easy. 1t is said that Foraker, their
candidate for Governor, left college
when a Student, because a colored
student was admitted.

Colored voters become restive.

A mass State Convention of colored
voters, held recently in Columbus, Ohio,
to elect delegates to the colored nation
al convention at Louisville, was captur-
ed by the Democrats. 1t was after
wards captured and recognized by the
Republicans. whereupon the Demo-
cratic element bolted and two conven-
tions were held. The boilers appoint
ed four delegates to the national con
vention and adopted resolutions con-
demning the Republicans. The other
convention appointed no delegates, bat
adopted Republican resolutions.

Post Master General Gresham shows
his spite against democratic little Mill
helm by sending old postage stamps to
our efficient Post Master to be used
under the aetU law. Guess he would
continue to impose the old, highpriced
green stamps on US if the democratic
gress did not stand in the way.
But never mind, the JOURNAL will get
even with the big feeling, radical Off.
cial, sure. Well spot him when be
runs for President-then- well, he will
be just nowhere.

General IIancock's Illness not Serious.

New York, September 27.-To a
reporter who inquired at General Han
cocks house on Governors Island as
to the condition of that gentleman the
response was made that reports of his
being seriously i'll were not correct. 1t
was said that he was recovering from
the effects of the accident to his knee:
recently sustained, and would soon be
about, as usuel.

right. The character and ability Of the man
himself are unquestionably the first points
that should be considered, but, all other
things being equal, it certainly would be
well to distribute the honors geographically
as evenly as possible. This may very well
prove impossible however, this year, as it
seems to have proved in former years.
Larger considerations surely it is a
great deal more important that the Order
should have great, intrepid, and SPACIOUS
leader than that the national headquarters
should be established in any particular De-
partment-may influence and govern the
action Of the delegates, and upon comparing
views and preferences with each other they
may find good reason to discard the states"
which they may have previously made.
That they viii not be Indifferent to the
magnitude of the responsibility resting upon
them we feel confident, and whether they
shall see fit to reflect the present distin-
guished incumbent or some able though I'M
tried comrade, we feel sure that their nom
inee viii he such as viii deserve the jealous
support of THE TRIBUNE and all its readers.

COMRADES of Posts which intend to be
represented at the Denver Encampment
will confer favor by advising us, at their
earliest convenience as to the number of
members composing their delegation. Doubt
less every Department-even the eastern
most-will send one or more full Posts to
Denver, while probably thousands of COM
rades will take the trip in their individual
capacity as members of the Order AT q
meeting of the passenger agents of the west
ern lines, held at Chicago last week, it was
decided to extend the time of all round trip
tickets, except those from points in Kansas
and Nebraska, to August 81, so that visitors
will not be compelled to hurry home with
out seeing all the wonderful things that the
people of the Centennial State are so anxious
to show them. For fortnight or more
Denver will be crowded with veterans and
the Encampment promises to be the occa-
sion of the largest and most enthusiastic
soldiers Reunion that has been held since
the war.

veterans do well to revolt against it. Let
them demand the righting of this wrong at
the hands of the President.

Do READERS of newspaper ever think of the
fact that it costs the publisher of journal some
thing to speak out any subject? Only the other
day individual in this county stopped his paper
because of our article on pensons.-Tldi dniaa-
Republican, WarsuiU, Ind.
The article in question was one attacking
the integrity of the pension list and the
methods of adjusting claims, and as it was a
tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end
not single fact being cited to sustain the
editors charges-we think the individual
alluded to did well to stop taking such q
paper. It does cost the publisher of journal
something, as the editor says, to speak out
on any subject, and it viii cost him great
deal more yet if when he speaks out, it is
only to defame our pensioners and cast sus-
picion upon their claims. Yet he seems bent
upon doing this very thing, for in the same
issue he goes on to say:
We firmly believe that fully one-fourth the
names now on the pension rolls are there wrong
fully, and while we think that the Government
cannot pay its really wounded and disabled soldiers
are being paid out pensioners that would not
stand the test of an examinations
Why one-fourth any more than one-eighth,
or one-sixteenth, or oae-tenth Of one per cent,
which last is the estimate of the Pension
Office? If General Williamson, strange to
say, the editor in this case is an ex-soldier, and
would have, one would suppose, some scruples
about making an indiseriminatea attack on the
character Of his old comrades-can produce
any evidence to show that one-fourth of our
pensioners are imposters, why does he not
do so, instead of indulging in vague and
general charges? He must have some reason
for fixing the proportion at one-fourth-
what, then, are the data upon which he
bases his estimate? We challenge him to
make them public. He would have his
readers think that he is very brave thus to
risk the loss of a few subscribers, but he is,
on the contrary, a moral coward, for none
but coward would resort to such method OF

on such miserable braggart. 1t is no
wonder the old soldiers viii not support a
paper which delights in insulting them
The marvel is that any one with particle
of manliness should be willing to subscribe
to such sheet

al that could be desired he declares that,
being run by contract with the State au-
tLorities, tie interests of the inmates them
selves are not always The first object of
consideration. The buildings, grounds,
teachers and attendants, food and clothing,
are not al that they should be. Our cor
respondent gives it as the result of his per
soaal observation that some of the buildings
are little better than were the soldiers bar
racks at Camp Parole, Annapolis or New
Bene, y. c.; that the food is poor, and not
of the right sort for children; the clothing,
except where furnished by friends Of the
children, insufficient; the instructors chosen
with regard rather to the interests of the.
contractor than the proper education Of the
inmates. A still more serious defect, in his
opinion. is the failure of these institutions
to provide instruction in the trades and
mechanical arts. He asserts that the male
pupils are allowed to waste their time until
they are sixteen years old, and then are
obliged TO leave without having laid the
foundation for lives of usefulness He points
out that there should be workshops, and
good mechanics at the head of each, to in
stuct the boys in useful and remunerative
trades. Greater care, too, in his opinion,
should be exercised to keep the children
either at school or at the homes of their
friends in order to save them from the dan
ger Of evil companionship To precisely
what extent this criticism is deserved we
cannot say. 1t is made in good faith, and
by an cid soldier, who has been at some
pains to look into the matter for himself
The remedy which he recommends is that
the schools should be brought under the
immediate supervision of the Grand Army,

THE Waterbury watch, which we offer as
premium for club of ten new subscribers,
is a handsome and reliable time-piece, and,
judging from the letters which we have
received, has given entire satisfaction to all
who have tested its qualities. Every watch
is carefully regulated before it is allowed to
leave this office, and is transmitted in a
satin-lined case by registered mail, so as to
insure safe delivery. We warrant it to be
precisely as represented and the oppor-
tunity afforded by our special premium offer
to obtain a reliable stem winder free of cost
is one that our subscribers should be quick

PREPARATIONS for the Columbus Re-
union, which viii open on the oath inst.
and last four days, are now far advanced,
and the event promises to be second only in
interest to the National Encampment itself.
Indeed we regard it as rather fortunate
thing that it is to be held on the same date
as the Eneampment for the reason that it
will afford an opportunity to those of our
comrades who are unable to take the time
or bear the expense of the long journey to
Denver TO enjoya Reunion close at home. Co
lumbus is a very central point for all veterans
residing in the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys,
and within a days journey of their strong
holds in New York and Pennsylvania, and
we should not be surprised if the attendance
nearly equaled that at the National En-
campment Grand Army Day especially viii
be likely to assemble an immense throng at
the capital of the Buckeye State, and we are
glad to see that the Department officers are
taking steps to make that feature of the
Reunion a brilliant success We need
hardly say that there win be no politics in
this gathering.
