No one hears now of a Republican

Oliver Bros. & Phillips, of Pitts

wages OF their men of twelve and one

this would leave them unable to support
their families, but the firm was inexor-
able. Yet, il was only few weeBs ago
that Harry Oliver, the hea4~Of the firm,

it any wonder that the laboring men
feel that this is a good time to break

and some of them have been excited to

have deliberately thrown their Republi-
can campaign uniforms into the fur
flaces. One need not be surprised at
hearing good return for Cleveland on

For a party that claims to be the spe
cial patron Of labor and the peculiar
friend of the workingman, the Republi
can organization in Pennsylvania is in u
queer fix, indeed. IL has three rich men
at the head of its electoral ticket, and
organized labor has been in conflict with
each of them The printers have their
quarrel with Calvin Wells, and the
weavers with James Dob3on and now,
Gen. William Lilly, the new elector put
on in place of Leisenrlug, is shown up in
bad light. He is a regular Cle5us of
the coal regions, and had an income OF
$3.50, 600 last year. Yet he has ground
the face Of labor and was party to
the scheme to compel his workingmen
TO assign all their wages in advance and
reduce them to a condition scarcely
more tolerable than absolute slavery.
Mr.. Lilly tries to escape the responsible
ty of his firm in this famous iron clad
contracs, but it il said that he not only
knew of it, but approved it. Since its
publication he and his party have been
each trying to shift the blame for it or
the other, but they ssem to have been
jointly and seveTally responsible, anC
Lily must go through the canvass haudi
capped with the weight.

the ladies. They battgd with their left

girls from making runs, so at the end of
the game the score stood 81 to Il in favor
Of the latter. Tho girls seemed to be
in great earnest during the game
and one or two became quito angry when
it was iptimated that they could not play

Eating words Of Anathema.

The Republican politicians who were
rash enough to say what they thought
OF Blaine when he was not their party
candidate, aud who are now constrained
TO his support 10 sustain their party and
10 preserve their place and influence in
Il should he be elected, are in mucn
trouble nova days when their old utter.
ances are brought up to confront their
present attitude. There are great
many OF them in this sad iix. Some OF
them are wise enough to say nothing,
inspired by their experience OF the
wisdom of the old adage which teaches
that In such cases the least said the
soonest mended." Senator Edmunds is
10 this class and ex-senator Conkling,
who both in the past have been very free
in their denunciation Of Blaine, but who
now are as quiet as mice. 1t is question
how much they care for his election !;
probably not much. But they care a
good deal for their own political posi-,
ton; and as they have no political
future outside the Republican party, 1t
behooves them, they think, to abstain
from kickiEg it through its candidate.
There is another lot of smaller politi'
clans, more in number and less in ability
to maintain themselves under presi-
Dental frown. who are tempted to eat
their words of anathema against
Blaine and to even declare that they
never uttered them. We have had a
little discussion lately about the demor
allied state of Mr.. Bsrgner, of Harris
burg, brought about by his telling what
he knew of Blaine's rascality, when he
was not his party'S presidential candi.
date, and his denial of his utterance
after Blaine was nominated. Mr..
Bergner's former declarations have been
clearly proved against him and he has
subsided.
Now comes Mr.. James +. JOY, a
western railroad president of renown,
to deny that he ever said anything
derogatory to Mr.. Blaine's character
whereupon Henry Ward Beecher appear:
to say that in 1877 after Mr.. Blaine haC
been defeated by Hayes for the nomi
nation at Cincinnati, Mr.. Joy, at th'
dinner table and in the presence of q
number Of persons, distinctly said that
Blaine had offered as speaker to appoint
a committee to suit Joy in matter il
which he was interested, il Joy would
take at par certain bonds off his hands
Mr.. Joy seems to be u man who wander'
under temptation from the truth whicl
is not surprising in q railroad president
however.

tory resolution of the Democratic ma
tionai convention, has all his old time
characteristics. 1t Is clear, conclusive
and to the point. He sees as plainly and
points out as unerringly as ever before
the great, the vital difference between
the parties, both ia their construction
and in their methods of action. At every
period Of the national life the Democratic
party has stood as the representative OF
the popular rights and privileges and no
body has ever pointed this out more
clearly than Mr.. Tilden. His terrible
condemnation of the hypocrites who
assert monopoly of all the culture,

recommendation OF the Democratic
