Ir seems to worry the Philadelphia
Pres to think that the politicians and
leaders Of the Democratic party com
nit a democratic error in depending
upon the independent Republicans for
votes to elect their ticket. To allay
the anxiety Of the Press, Chairman
Hensel of the Lancaster fntcHigcHoer,
very properly remarks: at is an
error on the part of the Pres to as.
sumo that the Democrats are depend
ing upon any such thing. AT the last
State election there were nearly as
many votes polled for Mr.. Pattison rs
the combined vote for Stewart and
Beaver an analysis has proved that
nearly all the votes cast for Pattison
we're Democratic votes. Nobody seems
to expect that either party will poll as
full vote this year as last, so that it
becomes a contest rs to which party
will poll the larger percentage of the
vote it cast last fall. For many rea.
SOUS the chances favor the Democrats.
They have remained united, aggres.
sive, hopeful and organized. The pro-
cesses of Republican reunion have
been painfully slow. In the regular
session of the Legislature the most
notable antagonisms we're those of the
Stalwarts aud Regulars of the Senate
and when, upon the main issue Of the
campaign, the reform Of the treasury
management, the Republican policy is
found to be continuance of the pres
ent regime the Pres will find that In.
dependent Republicans will mostly ait
on the fence and watch the procession. a

THE Williamsport San and BIancr
agrees with the expressed opinion Of
q cotcmporary that there seems now
nothing for the Democratic legislator s
to do but to remain at their posts
waiting for wisdom aud respect for the
laws to seize the Republicans and
compel them to the performance Of
their solemn duty. Justice travels
with lcadcn heel but it is sure to
catch ur sometime"
Wisdom and respect for the laws"
departed with Camerou's instructions
to his slaves in the senate, and can
probably only be restored when the
honest men Of the party can have an
opportunity to deal with the rcyolu-
tionists who SO rccklessly betray
their confidence. In the mean time
the Democracy can only stand firm to
duty and their constitutional obliga-
tons.

The stalwarts Of New York, it is
said, had the late convention pretty
much to themselves, aud that the gen,
eral absence of the Independents, or
halfbreeds, has a significance that is
not born of harmony or the success Of
the nominations made.

The Philadelphia Record compares
"Mr. Senator John Stewart to loco.
motive built for independent work on
a narrow guage line, that has been
pushed on broad guage track. He
has derailed himself and has been
humping over the ties ever since he
went off on the ultimatum switch. In
bis present plight he is of no use to
anybody" And it might be added is
despised in his helplessness as useless
wreck.

MALONE, has made the usual forced
assessments upon the Virginia clerks
in the Executive departments in sup.
port Of the state election, without in.
reference on the part Of President
Arthur. His bargain with the little
boss repudiator overtops any respon-
slbility the civil service law places
upon him and also raises the prcsump-
ton that the Federal Executive is not
very enthusiastic friend Of that law.

runs through the proceedings Of the

ness, in which old Ben, if he has not
lost his wouted vim, will be equal to
the emergency, striking back from the

PRoF. DODGE, the statistician Of
the agricultural department, expresses
himself hopeful Of the corn crop. He
thinks the late frosts have not very
seriously damaged it, and the acreage
is much greater than in former years,
which he estimates at 100000 more
than in 1882, leaving considerable
margin for any damage the crop may
sustain.

THE government spent the summer
fishing in the mountains Of the west,
while the cabinet junketted all around
the coast 10 government vessels. The

Gated Oh the third floor of the south wing,

PROMPT WORK
On the Part OF a Telegraph Operator
AVerts n Collision.

On the Part OF Telegraph Operator
AVerts a Collision.
The prompt action of day operator
COrrell, of the Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne &
Chicago railway here, aVerted a calami-
ternOOn.
The first section of freights No. 70,
west bound, side tracked here, had re-
ceiVed orders at Louisville to pass the
second section of freights No. 81 at Mas
sillOn, the latter having the right of the
main track. The latter finished It's work
at MassillOn sooner than anticipated and
the train dispatcher asked operator Cor
rell if he could reach the conductor of
the first 70, as he had later orders for
him.
The operator signalled the conductor
to come back to the Office, and the latter
started back. COrrell thinking the con-
ductOF was coming, turned to the01n-
strument to take the orders. They read
that first 70 should pass second 81 at the
halfway siding. The operator turned
around to give Smith the orders, but he
was not 10 be seen, his train having
started westward. -..-
COrrell took in the situation at a
glance, dashed out of his Office and or
dered the engineer of the second 70 to
cut loose his engine and OYertake the
first section, already on its way to Mas
sillOn. By doing some amazingly hard
running the feat was accomplished, the
first section being oVertaken above Buck
Hill and returned to this city. A few
minutes of hesitation on the part of the
operator or engineer would have result
ed in a frightful collision.
