AT the Republican delegate cleo
tiens held in Philadelphia a few
davs since, William B. Smith was
nominated for Mayor. There were
over thirty thousand votes polled at
this election, being more than double
the number usually cast at the Re
publican primaries. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that Mr.. Smith was
nearly the unanimous choice Of the
voters, the Committee of One Hun
dred. the wreckers, and the guerilla
press have united in the attempt to
defeat him and re-elect Mr.. King,
the present Democratic Mayor.
Mr.. Smiths ability, integrity and
purity of character are not denied,
and the only charge made against
him is that he entered into an active
canvass for the nomination. In at
tempting to cure some minor evils
and to break up the influence of SC
called bosses, the Republicans of the
city few years since, constituted
this committee of One Hundred
and it now turns out that, like the
frogs in the fable, in removing King
Frog they placed in power King
Stork, whose greatest delight consists
in devouring his own subjects.
II matters nothing to this Reform
Committee that so large a mass o
Republicans declared in favor of Mr.
Smith, he is not the man they want
ed, and therefore these professed Re
publicans strike hands with th'
Democrats to defeat him.
This election for officers in tn,
second city of the Union, opening a
it does. the campaign for 1884, is o
vast interest, not only to the Repub
licans Of this State, but of the entir
country, and We trust to see the reg
ular ticket come out victorious. Thi
self constituted, self righteous On
Hundred, who assume righteousness
is obtained only through them, nee'
to be taught lesson, and we will b
disappointed if they do not receiv
it. Reform is a very good thing, AM
genuine refermers are commendablt
but arrogant dictation, be it by on
or a hundred bosses, is not to be Ell
dured.

A FRANK REPLY.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Courier Jaurnai of Louisville, pro-
poses the Hon. Joseph E. McDon-
aid of Indiana, as its candidate for
President. Listen to its enthusiastic
words
Under Mcdonald we shall march
to victory. We shall have the cour-
age of our convictions. We shall
have a chieftain worthy of Jefferson,
Jackson and Tilden. He is an issue
in himself, and a man every inch OF
him. The people will rally to him.
The party can trust him."
What say you. brethren ?"
We say frankly that Mr.. McDon-
aid cannot carry the State of New
York. Neither can he carry Connec-
ticut; and with him as the candi-
date New Jersey would be doubtful.
Nevertheless, if the Democracy are
to nominate man for the purpose
of getting beaten, Mcdonald is as
good as anybody else.
All tho probabilities in favor of a
Democratic President in 1884 have
been knocked in the head by our
| friends the free traders. With an
impracticable issue respecting the
tariff raised into the very highest
importance, and with war cry of a
Tariff for Revenue Only as the slo'
gan of the canvass, nobody need ask
for any better candidate than Nc
Donald.
But if the Democrats are not bent
on suicide, if they have wisdom and
resolution enough to repudiate an
absurd and impracticable issue, il
they mean to fight their battle on
ground where success is not only
possible, but probable, why, then
Mcdonald will not do at all. He
can't carry New York.--Neac York

THE whoop with which the Free
Traders hailed the election CT Car
isle as Speaker, has now turned into
a quaver. The protectionist press of
the country at once took up the
gauntlet thus defiantly thrown down,
and soon the swelling echoes of the
cry for Protection to American In
dustry," reverperated throughout
the capital. A halt was suddenly
called. and now comes the gentle
assurance that, a moderate bill will
be reported from the committee.
For SO much-thanks. No thanks
for the concession. but thanks that
a lively sense of.fear has extorted it
fear of the result on the ceming
Presidential election. It is conces-
sion begotter of policy, not OF con-
viction. 1t is a temporary retire
ment from the front, of settled
purpose, not an abandonment of it
Democratic success at the coming
election will re-habilitate it with ten
fold the vigor it possessed when 1t
dictated the nomination OF a free
trade speaker. 1t is this which pro-
tectionists must remember, it Is
against this which they must guard
With a Republican Senate and Pres
ident there is no present fear, but
with return of the Democracy to
power, free trade is certain, is inev'
liable. Deny, it, evade it, disguise
it, as the Democrats may and Will
it is the fixed purpose of the con-
trolling element of that party, when,
ever they obtain the power, to esta6'
lish a tariff for revenue only. 1t /:
on this issue that the election OF this
year will mainly turn, and the
sooner the people prepare for 1t the
better.

SENATOR HILL, of Georgia; is the
most effective distributor of our sur
plus revenue yet heard of. His plan
is to put up United States build
ing 10 every town in the country
with one thousand inhabitants and
over. Beside giving each town a
handsome building for a postofiic

would effectually dispose of any sur
plus We are likely to have for the

small about Hill. when it comes to
scattering troublesome surplus OF

Beck says concerning the threats of
the protection Democrats, Let them

show their colors, and if they bolt,
as they threaten, believe in driving
them cut of the party. 1t looks as
if these people would rather defeat
the Democratic party than reform

join the Republican party, where
they belong" The Intervals of the
Democracy are evidently in a COM

The Ohio State Journal does well
ia calling attention to the three
cognate facts that the Southern re-
bellion was inaugurated to carry out
free trade, that it adopted into its
constitution clause forbidding its
government to establish a protective
tariff, and that itsrebel commission
ers in waiting upon Lord John Rus
sell told him:
at is not the desire of the South
ern Confederacy to perpetuate sla-
very, but it is their choice and de-
termination to have free trade with
England if possible" ;"
And this was supplemented with
statement of what large amount
of cotton England could thus receive
in exchange for her manufacturers.
1t also adds that it was distin-
guished rebel soldier who said that
the greatest blu1der of the Southern
members who were in Congress at
the breaking out of the war was that
they did not, by the aid of their
Northern allies, before leaving their
seats to 90 into the rebellion, repeal
all tariff laws, so that the country
would have been left bankrupt and
defenseless when treason struck its
deadly blow.
This was no blunder it was mere
inability. The Southern members
Of Congress repealed all the tariff
laws they had the power to repeal,
until in 1857 nearly every duty was
scaled down to % per cent. and the
total revenue reaped in the year
they went into the rebellion was less
than three-fourths of the amour,
now obtained from sugar. OF course
they did not then declare that theil
motive was to paralyze the govern
ment in order that they might rebe
against it successfully. They talked
loudly of ''relief," ''relief." Whar
they relieved US of was 1,000,00
lives and s9,000,000,000. The pres

A novelty in temperance expert
ments is that of a rector of a church
in Warwickshire, England, who,
seven years ago, bought the only
tavern in the village and hired a man
to manage it. Nothing stronger than
beer is sold, and the profits pay the
salary of the church organist and
leave considerable sum to be di-
vided among local charities. He
would be a brave minister who
should dare in America TO engage in
a similar enterprise.

cold crisp atmosphere probably had
