BELLEFONTE, PA, THURSDAY, MARCH 81, 1884,

AFTER hard fight by the harmoni-
Gus Republicans of Philadelphia for
delegates to the convention, the Blaine
men beat the machine and carried the
day, but il is evident from the Press
that the victors don't feel altogether
happy, or confident that all will be
lovely in tho convention. The ma
chine is great in resources. and Boss
Quay knows how to engineer it for all
that is in it. The Press has cause for
apprehension.

GEN. BEAVER for congress. The
Republicans of York county have in.
structed their delegates to the state
convention, to vote for Gen. Beaver as
the Republican candidate for congress
msn.atlarge, We hope that in many
other counties the Republicans may
make the same display of good sens e
that they have in York. If we must
have Republican representatives, for
the honor Of the state, it is desirable
that creditable men like Beaver, come
to the front.

WITH the opportunities he has had
in public life, it is certainly creditable
to Carl Schurze that he is yet a poor

Sherman and Blaine in congress and

ed. tho protest says in conclusion that the
signers protest against the bill because it
apparently indicates the purpose of per-
manently imposing European conditions
of labor upon the workngmen of this
country--conditions against which foreign
laborers revolt, and to escape which
they seek this country. The mainten-
ance of an American scale of wages for
American workingmen is, it says, essen
tal to the good order of our society, the
stability of our institutions, and the gen
erai prosperity of the country; and this
involves the maintenance of the AmeIi
can policy of protection.
