THE contest at the Democratic State
Convention which met in Harrisburg
last week between the two rival candi-
dates for the nomination for Governor.
William A. Wallace and Chauncey F.
Black, resulted in the nomination of the
latter Gamnd gentleman on the first
ballot. 1t is not at all necessary that
we should enter at length into discus
sion of Mr.. Blacks fitness and compe-
tency for a faithful and satisfactory
discharge of the duties of the high Office
for which he has been nominated over
so we'll known and distinguished a CON-
peUitor as William A, Wallace. for whom
the Democracy of Cambria have always
cherished warm feeling of confidence
and respect since the time they first
aided in sending him to the State Senate
In 1868. Mr.. Black, as our readers
know, is the present Lieutenant Cover
nor of the State, to which position he
was elected on the same ticket with
Governor Pattison i'll 1882. He s A son
of jeremiah s. Black, that grand old
Democrat and giant in intellect. who

'glades'' of our adjoining county. som
erset, and whose greatness as a LAWYER
and political writer at the time of his
death three years ago was acknowledged
and confessed by every reading and
thinking man throughout the land
Chauncey +. Black inherits many of the
solid intellectual qualities of his father
and Ike him his devotion to the Demo-
cratic creed taught by Thomas jefferson
is as fixed and immovable as mountain.
The last great speech his father ever
made was when he appeared before a
Committee of the State Senate in 1888
to submit an argument in favor of legis-
lation to enforce the provisions of the
ANIIth article of the Constitution in
regard to railroads as common carriers.
In this respect his son has walked in his
footsteps and will continue to walk in
them simply because the Constitution of
the State so Ordains. Mr.. Black is a man
OF reading and culture and we'll trained
In political knowledge. His personal
integrity has never been assailed nor has
aught that is dishonorable ever been
alleged against him. Beng exception

THE Irish National League which
met at Chicago on Wednesday of last
week, adjourned finally on Friday
evening. Upwards of a thousand dele
gates were present, and its deliberations
were orderly and harmonious. Exon
gresham John F. Finerty, of Chicago,
who cheTishes the preposteTous notion
that the woes of Ireland can be more
certainly remedied by physical force
than by peaceable methods and moral
power, created some excitement in the
Convention by an attempt to ventilate
his peculiar views, but a few calm, we'll
directed words from Michael Davitt,
who is supposed to know a great deal
about the wrongs of Ireland as well as
the surest and most feasible way of
cuTNg them. quickly suppressed him.
Finerty, like other impetuous, hotheaded
Irishmen, means well, but lacks sound
judgment and discretion, and wants to
accomplish the common purpose OF all
the true friends of Ireland by means
that are visionary and utterly impossible
to the one supreme end to be attained.
A firm but respectfully worded platform
was adopted, and the policy of MI. Par
nell and Gladstone in dealing with the
Irish question was unanimously endors
ed. On the second day of the convention
Mr.. John Redmond, one OF the three
Irish Parliamentary delegates, delivered
a most eloquent and impassioned address
which we will publish next week. He
is a fine type of the brilliant coterie of
men who led the Young Ireland Party
in the unsuccessful revolt of 1S4S, and
whose eloquent appeals in behalf of
Justice 10 Ireland as we'll as their with
ering denunciatiOns of English misrule
and oppression are 50 well remembered .

positively declined a reelection, and
Judge John f. Fitzgerald, of Nebraska,
was chosen as his successor. He is a
very wealthy man, is President of four
National Banks, and the largest railroad
contractor In :he West. The report of
the treasurer of the League which was
submitted to the Convention, shows that
during the past two years three hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars have
beer sent to Ireland, and when we con-
slider the aid sent through other channels
it is safe to estimate that during the last
six years million of dollars has been
subscribed in this country in behalf of
the Irish National movement.

WHAT a singularly honest and proper
man William a. Wallace has become in
the estimation of Republican newspaper
editors since his defeat at the Democrat
ic State Convention last week? Owing
to Mr. Wallace's long and prominent
connection with legislation as a member
of the State Senate, it is as certain as
that the sun will rise tomorrow morning
that if he had been nominated he would
have been denounced and misrepresented
by the Republican press from one end OF
of the State to the other. Ia anticipa-
tion of his candidacy Cooper had his
artillery loaded to the muZZle and would
have opened fire upon him ali along the
Republican line. The old charge against
Wallace of having manufactured coffee
pot stained naturalization papers and
supplied them to foreigners in order to
enable them to vote would have been
revived, although the late II. Bucher
SwOpe who ma!iCiously started the lie
for his own purposes, admitted SefOre
he died that Wallace had nothing to do
with che fraud. And the Ten Million
bill'' which was vetoed by Gov Geary,
but for which Wallace voted, would
have been harped upon and misrepTe-
sented in dozen different ways. Wal
lace, however, wasn't nominated, and
now Cooper is in a peck of trouble to
find out what he must say to prevent
Black s election.

THERE is no honor in any official
position, however exalted it may be,
whenever it is secured or maintained at
the expense of personal or political in
dependence. " This was said by Hon.
John. G. Carlisle, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, at an ovation given
him by his friends and neighbors on his
return to his Kentucky home. 1t is a
reproach that other statesmen in Con-
gress can't set up for themselves as high
standard of conduct as Mr.. Carlisle
prescribes for himself, aud up to which
he has scrupulously lived. There is no
more high minded or honorable man
now in public life than John G. Carlisle,
nor one who is more absolutely free
from all the low arts of the political
demagogue.

GLADSTONE will never give up the
struggle for home rule in Ireland. In
an address which he delivered at Chisel-
hurst, England, on Monday last, he
said 1.-The enthusiasm of the British
friends of the home rule idea is an incen-
tive to me never TO be beaten in it, but
to continue the struggle for the happi-
ness of Ireland. Although there have
been prejudices between Great Britain
and Ireland, the fact that in the recent
electoral contest l, 400 600 Englishmen
and Scotchmen pOlled votes in behalf of
Ireland, shows that prejudice is fast
disappearing. Let men consult any
book or nation in the world, and they
will not find ore that does not say that
the relations between England and Ire
land under the Union have been miser-
able for Ireland and dishonOrable to
England. If the country desires to
redeem her honor. and enable her Par
lament to attend to its pressing business
of imperial legislation, the Irish question
must be settled

a. X. CUTTING, the Ell Paso, Texas,
editor, who has acquired notoriety
enough during the last month to last
him during the balance of his natural
life. was released from his Mexican
prison by a decree of the Supreme Court
of the State of Chihuahua, on Monday
last. The Court expressly reaffirmed
the right of Mexico to try an offense
committed in the United States, and
therefore the status of the case as an
international question is not in the
least altered by his release, but will be
disposed of by the two governments
when the question of indemnity comes
up. Cutting thinks that ten thousand
dollars in Mexican coin would appease
his wounded feelings. We suppose it
will if he is ever lucky enough to get it.
The bill, however, seems very steep.

W. L. HENsEL, one of the owners
and proprietors of the Daily Lancaster
Intelligeneer, and who is also Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee, has
sold his half interest in that newspaper
establishment to Richard NJ. Reilly and
Robert Clark, both cf whom for long
time have been identified with its edito-
rial management and business direction.
In making this announcement on Satur-
day last, the HlteUiS epcer states that
from then until the day of the November
election, Mr.. Hensel will devote himself
exclusively to the management of the
Democratic campaign. He has been
connected with the InteIigencer for over
twelve years, is one of the ablest and
most vigorous writers IN the State, and
if be has concluded to retire permanently
from journalistic life, as we trust he has
not, his hosts of friends and admirers
everywhere will sincerely regret to part
with so bright an ornament of the
profession.

enforcement of articles 16 and II of the
state constitution, relative to private

should be so altered and amended as to
relieve farms aud real estate from the
present unfair and large proportion of
taxation, and equaliZe the same so that
personal estate would be made to pay
its just part.
RESOLVED That we lament the death
of the democratic leaders who upheld
their political principles through years
of distrust. injustice and wrong. Death
does not dissolve the tie with which
their virtues bound us. Our party's in
spirations and hope come from the mem.
Ory of lives and labors given to the
service Of our country. We lament the
death of him whose life was happily
prolonged until the wrong done in 1876
was made right, the Vice President,
Thomas A. Hendricks, From democratic
councils has been taken the presence
but not the influence of the purity of
character, the lofty patriotism of the
beloved soldier and citizen, George b.
Mcclellan. We mourn the loss oe the
venerable statesman who elevated his
party with the wisdom and integrity of
Horatio Sey mour. We know how Penn
sylvania grieved for Winfield Scott
Hancock. We cherish the memory of
him in the shadow of whose death we
meet and the sentiment which was
adopted by national convention of our
party gives him the best homage of
freemep-the pledge of our devotion to
the principles and cause now iDseparable
in the history of the Republic from the
labors and name of Samuel J. Tilden.

IT is announced that Galusha A. Grow
will open the Republican campaign at
Erie on the 5tL of September. Galusha
is always opening Republican campaigns
and if the campaign is successful and a
United States Senator is to be elected at
the succeeding session of the legislature,
it can be set down with absolute certain
ty that he will turn up as an aspiIaDt
for that position. If he is defeated, as
he always is, be at once begins preparing
himself to open the next campaign. 1t
will always be thus with Galusha, and
If the Republican youngs eT of 1886 lives
until the year 1900 when he will be
ready to cast his first vote, he will read
in the then organs of his party that Ga
lusha A. Grow will open the Republican
campaign OF that year, provided always
that the Republican party is then in
existence.
