On Saturday, referring to McManes
attitude, the Philadelphia Press, in Al
authoritative sort of way, said that
McManes recognize, the right of the
state convention to instruct the dele
gates at. large, whom it directly elect!
aud who 20 as its immediate representa-.
tives; he made and makes no objection
to the Harrisburg convention instruct
ing for Mr.. Blaine, whom he supported
four years ago and, with the recogni
tion of all that this implies, he accepts
his election under that instruction"
The same day Mr.. McManes said in
newspaper interview that he was opposed
to instructions, did not think it wise tC
act upon them, and would not do 50, and
he thought Blaine would get no votes
from Philadelphia on first ballot.
That the Press thinks Mr. McManes
knows his own mind better than il
knows it, appears from the fact that it
does not attempt to set him straight in
its editorial columns to day.

ApplyA Rem ody.

Lancaster Inquirer.
IL is no secret that the late primary was
as corrupt az any preceding one nor is
there the slightest hope that under the
present system there will be any improve
ment unless radical measures are adopted 4.
Something must be done to restore the
purity of elections or Lancaster county
will vie in corruption with the slums OF
the great cities. The laws are good enough
IL they were enforced, bat they are not. 1t
ia safe to predict that they will not be by
those who are engaged in breaking them.
The better classes of the people, those
whose hands are clean Of evil practices,
must take hold Of the matter In ear nest
and then il oan be done. At present our
system of nominations Is mockery and
a farce. Let some Of our best citizens
move 10 this matter and they will have
plenty of assistance. The Philadelphia
Committee OF One Hundred did good
work but did not know enough to quit ut
the right time. Why could not a Lancas-
ter county committee, composed OF intelli'
gent and disinterested citizens, reform our
primaries (?

Mr.. James MnManes. who was elected u
delegate at large to the Republican
national convention, was seen on saturday
morning and in talking about the doings
of the recent Republican state convention
and the utterauce Of Colonel Quay i'll an
interview in Harrisburg, said Il am
entirely unpledged and uutrammellcd, aud
IL live to 20 Chicago | will DO free to act

not go as delegate in auy other way, and
| told gentlemen that | would rather DO

Everybody knew my position. am opPJS
ed To instructions, aud do not think IT wise
to insist upon them. As acted four years
ago, SO Will act next July at Chicago.
" Is 1t possible that 200 of the 25l dele.
gates in the state convention were the
friends Of Quay and his followers ~
Colonel Quay counted upon $50 dele
gates, and am satisfied he knew what he
was talking about. They got complete
control OF the convention IN the afternoon,
as | said. base my opinions upon the
occurrences, not from anything else. lie

Do you think that Quly's statement
that Arthur will have Il votes On the first
ballot is correct
81 think that will be quite likely"
Can il be possible that Blaine will got
no votes from Philadelphia on the first
ballot ?'
~ think that is So. As said think
that Quay knows what he is taking
about"
Now Rowan Puts 1t
VIM. L. Rowan, being Interviewed on
the same subject, said There wasn't
aug heart lu the convention for Blaine.
The people who sent the delegates were in

tiOn they were ashamed of themselves
They disllked 10 do the work they were
| instructed - do. When | Was elected a

veutton wanted to instruct me 70 vote tor

at the way he has been pictured during
the week. Why, IL would b. an awfuI

Tue gentleman proceeded 10 show that
Blaine would DO weak candidate, and
| that a defensive campaign would be the

| saying that he did not believe that the
gentleman could be nominated and that
| the lack Of heart which he said was man

! fact that the delegation did not think Mr
Blaine would be az all available for the

lT seems that after all, the tax and
tariff bill adopted last year will not de.
crease the revenues materially, and from
the custom reports thus far, under its
operation, the Conclusion is that the rev
enue for the next fiscal year will ba
S362,OOO,O0 600 and the surplus Sl2O, ,OOO..
coo. We have frequently pointed out
that reduced duties do not necessarily
decrease the revenue; they stimulate
imports, while higher protection shuts
them out. 1t is doubtful if the Morrison
bill itself will reach the main purpose
aimed at, the reduction of revenues
and the abatement of the odious
aud dangerous surplus. 1t has
not been demonstrated that this would
be the result of the Morrison bill.
Hence the more practicable and popular
way to amend the revenue laws would be
to first abolish the internal taxes and
then gradually enlarge the free list, be
ginning with raw materials and extend
ing to manufactured goods, as it is found
that they need less protection. This ia a
policy upon which the Democrats can be
united and logical advocates of free
trade can ultimately accomplish theil
ideas. ...

THE PRICE OF FAME,
Bill, Arp on The Conduct of The
National Campaign.

The higher a man climbs the
palmer he shows his fundamental
intirmities. That is if he has any
and most people have got them in
this subloonary world. I was Won
dcring in my mind why they had
cnt brought out all these things
about Cleveland and Blaine before
when they were running for Office,
hut it seems that tho office they
run for wasn't high enough to de-
vclop every hidden thing. AS
they climbed up the pole the Sian
dcrers only pu. at them a small op-
era glass but now that they keep
climbing higher and higher they
bring out their long harrelled telc-
scopes that magnify thousand
times to the inch and they hunt all
over them for spots and blcmishes
and if there is little spcck on the
glass of the telescope they mistake
it for big spot on the man and
raise a howl all over the nation.
When Cleveland was running for
governor Of New York he was
abused right smart by the repub-
lican newspapers, but they never
said anything against morals or
his virtue as a man, but now since
he keeps climbing up the pole and
gets higher and higher, they hav G
brought on their telescopes and mi i
croscopes and kalcidcscopes, horo
scopes and Cleveland is an awful
bad man. Well, am afraid he
has not been as clean in all respects
as he ought to have been, | expect
he has been overtakcn by the in
irnities Of the flesh, But mighty
little harm came of it and he act
ed like a gentleman. When men
are overtakcn by fault it does not
matter SO much how they fall into
trouble as it does how they come
out oft. Just SO with Mr.. Blaine.
The SANDER against him is worse
than against Cleveland, for he has
a wife and children whom it af-
fects. 1t is cruel and outrageous,
