From the account which the st. Paul Pho
neer Press gives of the escape of Lawrence
Brainerd from the detectives who kidnapped
him, it appears that he had the assistance of
St. Paul officers acting under the direction of
o particular friend" of Brainerd in that
city, who had been telegraphed TO be on the
lookout Brsinerds captors took him off the
train before reaching the union depot in st.
Paul, and afterwards took him to the station
by a roundabout way. The st. Paul officers
were on the watch, and when the Boston men
stepped up to the ticket Office to buy their
tickets the local officers took Brainerd and
hurried him away to a hack, and that is the
last seen of him, though the superstition is
that he has gone back to his wife at Winni-
peg. 1t is evident that there is an inner his
tory to the affair, which may or may not be
told sometime. If the Boston men really
meant to take their prisoner east with them,
il is not reasonable to suppose that they
would leave so valuable "catch" unguarded
in place like ST. Paul. Ordinarily it does
not require the united efforts of two men to
buy railroad tickets for party of three. 1t
ia now conceded that Brainerd's bondsmen
were behind the efforts to have him produced
in court at st. Adams, but it is quite probable
that Brainerd and his particular friend
raised them on the price agreed to be paid
for the Job.

According to the Burlington Free Press
Collector Smslley is Diminishing the inspectors
of customs in his district of Vermont on the
pretext that he has abolished their offices as
a part Of the Democratic policy of 'retrench-
ment and reform" But in this move the
Free Press dscerns "a wrinkle not apparent
to the public eyes" deputy inspectors of
customs, it seems, come under the civil SER
vice law. If the new collector were to sim
ply remove the incumbents their places could
be filled only by persons who have passed
civil service examination as they did. The
requirement would of course be formidable
barrier to the saloon. keepers and strikers who
are commonly the favored Democratic candi-
dates for these positions. But as it happens
deputy collectors are not included in the
classes to whom the civil service law applies.
So an easy way is found around the obstacle,
by abolishing the offices of the inspectors.
Then, little later, lot of additional Demo-
cratic deputy collectors and inspectors can be
appointed, with no examinations to bother
them That is the way the thing will work.
1t is simply a short and sweet way of evading
the civil service law"

The Nomination for Slate treasurer.

The nomination of Matthew S.
Quay, for State Treasurer, made by
the Republican convention with a
uranimity so hattering to the csndi-
date, shows that long aud faithful po-
litical fealty, when accompanied with
marked ability, will always be recog-
nized by the masses Of the people.
Mr.. Quay was among the first of the
men Of action in the State to embrace
the principles of the Republican par.
ty, when as young journalist of
marked ability and power he attract
ed public attention in Western Penn
sylvania. AS a member of the State
Legislature, he moved to a foremost
place early in life and showed such
aptitude for political organization that
he has ever been foremost figure in
the party. AS a leader and guide
through many hotly contested cam.
paigus in which the party was always
successful when his counsel was fol.
lowed, he won the implicit confidence
of the people early and has always re.
tanned it. In all the positions he has
held, he has approved himself honest
and capable, and while, as was newt.
able to one in his position, he was Oft
en- assailed by the tongue of slander,
no taint of corruption can attach it..
self to him. The best reply to all
such assaults is his life passed pecul-
iarly under the public observation,
and the response of the Republican
people to the announcement of his
name as candidate for this nomina.
tion. Mr.. Quay did not need organi-
cation of his friends to work up can.
vass for him, his friends we're every.
where, and the simple announcement
of his name was enough to make his
nomination a foregone conclusion.
There were those who opposed him for
various reasons, which need not be
dwelt upon here, and great effort was
made to develop strength against him
the result is peculiarly compliments
ry to Mr.. Quay. The same character.
istics which have made him strong
with his party, will make him strong
bsfore the people; and his election by
a handsome majority is as certain now,
as his nomination was the day before
the convention.

SYMPATHY FOR GENERAL GRANT.

The yearning hearts of the Republicans
OF pennsylvania go out with sincere af-
lection and sympathy with the old hero,
General Grant, in this hour of his sad af-
Fiction. They revere and love him for
the great service he has rendered his
country, and honor him for his noble,
manly fortitude while he faces his inevit-
able fate. Death NAV rob MS of him, but
he will live forever in the hearts of his
countrymen.
The following resolution was added to
the platform:
To the Republicans of Pennsylvania
this Convention presents for State Treas
urer candidate who has won celebrity
for bravery in war and wisdom in peace,
life long, earnest, radical Republican,
yet withal so good and generous in his
views and conduct that his every effort
has been directed to securing the unity
and success Of the party. This life rec
ord entities him to the support of a unit
ed party in State which prides itself not
only in being the keystone of the Union,
but the centre of that political thought
which best guaros and promotes Ameri-
can interests.
Another resolution was adopted that
the party taVors the repeal of the unjust
ilnit claim respecting pensions.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
Col. Quay ominated on First Bal
lot-A WsIk-Over With
1872 Votes.

The Republican State Convention
met at Harrisburg on Wednesday of
last week, and nominated Col. M. S.
Quay, of Beaver county, on the first
ballot, he having comparatively no
opposition in the fight. He received
1861 votes out of total of 251.
The Convention was very harmo.
NOUS gathering of the States repre-
sentatives, and upon the completion
of he roll call the nomination of
MI Quay was made unanimous.
Col. Quay's nomination seems to
give the most general satisfaction all
over the State of any that has been
made for years. Although he didn't
get Forest county's vote in the Con-
vention, the Republican voters intend
ed that he should, and all are reioiced
to know that be had such a rousing
majority. Our county will roll up a
handsome majority for him in No
vember.
The Platform adopted is sound to
the core and will commend itself tc
all right thinking men both in and
out of the party. Miles w. Tate
Esq, chosen Senatorial Delegate fol
Clarion, Elk, Forest and Cameron
Counties, was appointed one of the
Committee on Platform. We give il
