IT is utterly idle and q pure waste of
time to trouble our readers with our
views in regard to the result ot the State
election on Tuesday next. Col. Mcclure,
of the Philadelphia Times, who is well
equipped a politician as there is in the
State, has summed mp the situation in a
way that so fully comedies with what
has always been our own notion on the
subject, that we reproduce it. He says !:
Thu Prohibition vote Is variously
estimated at from 25 600 to so, 900, with
little data to verify either and there
remains the unknown and unknOwable
political quantity classed as the Labor
vote, Il could knock out either party
or any part of both tickets, the first
round. if 1t chose to do so. but it has not
yet stood up TO be counted by the polti-
clans. With such large and undefnable
factors in the contest. none can estimate
results with an approach to accuracy.
"The issue between General Beaver
and Lieutenant Governor Black :s DOw
reasonably certain to be decided by the
Labor vote. If It shall take no part IN
the struggle in in the special interest of
organized labor, General Beaver will be
elected, and with him a Republican
Legislature that will elect State Treas
uTer Quay to the United States Senate,
If it shall carry its battle 10 the polls
and vote i'll even an approach to unity on
the distinctive issue it declares to be
paramount, Black will be elected, and
with him Legislature in which the
Labor element will hold the balance ot
power. Organized Labor has the decis
ion of the issue IN its own hands it car
. elect or defeat whom it will, and it vii
/ assert itself in the present contest. or il
will never greatly assert itself hereafter
in either popular elections or in moldinp
the legislation of the State"

WE stated last week in regard to the
dispute in the WestmoreIand, Fayette
and Greene Congressional district, be-
tween Gilbert Z. Rafferty, and ex- Lieu
tenant Governor John Latta both claim
ing to be the regular Democratic
candidate, that Mr., Rafferty, had ad-
dressed a letter to Mr.. Latta agreeing
to submit the trouble to the decIsiOn of
the Executive State Committee. Mr..
Latta promptly accepted the proposition
and in pursuance of the submission five
of the committee met at Greeusburg on
Monday last. The Committee, in the
language of AN award of aTbitratOrs,
having heard the parties. their proofs
and allegations, decided that Mr.. Raffer-
+ ty had been regularly nominated. Mr..
Laita Immediately published a letter
addressed t. the Democratic vOrers of
the district Withdrawing from the con-
test and requesting them to give Mr..
Rafferty, their support,
If there is any virtue in arbitrating a
question of this kind the decision of the
. Committee ought to have disposed or II
finally. and It did so, so far at leastla:
Mr. Latta is concerned. But the leading
friends of that gentleman in Greensburg
refused to abide by the decision and helC
an Indignation meeting after the mem
bers of the Executive Committee haC
left on the cars, at which they protested
against the action of the Committee ant
refused to recognize Rafferty, as tn
nominee, Several prominent Democrat
from Greene and Fayette counties, VIII
attended the meeting, endorsed its pro
ceedings. We assume that all hope o
electing a Democrat from that distric
will now have to be abandoned. PassiO
and prejudice have controlled the Dem
ocratic councils in the district from tn
beginning of the trouble and the resul
will be ignominiOus defeat.

Chauneey Black on Irish Home Rule.

The following letter of Lieutenant
Governor Black was reaG at the great
meeting of sympathizsrs with the de-
msnd of the Irish people for home rule,
held in Music Hall, Pittsburg, on May
4. 1856. It's reading created the greatest
enthusiasm among the thousands of
people there assembled. Mr.. Black
wrote:
1t ought to Oe a pleasure 10 any gen
uiue American to meet those sons OF
Ireland who. while serving th9iT adopted
country with devoted patriotism and
gallautry, remember ever The bitter sor-
rows of the old land and maintain the
struggle for her liberation here, as they
might have done at home.
It is splendid tribute 70 the noble
character of these scattered children Of
the Green Isle. the world over, as well
as to the holiness of their cause. desceu-
ded from one generation to another, that
at last all civilized mankind stand with
them and raise a common voice against
the hideOus wrong which incenses all
men because il is wrong.
Here in the most blessed of all cOun-
tries there is, let US thank God. no long
/ er a difference of opinion. Men of all
parties sud of all shades of religious be-
lief crowd together to offer theiI sympa-
Lhies and their means to strengthen the
steady parliamentary phalanx, under
PaTnell, by whose inviucible cOnstancy
it now appears the liberty of Ireland is
aC length 10 be extOTtsd from the better
nature of England.
L would be strange indeed IF any man
born under our institutions could at this
supreme moment deny his sympathy tC
ireland. We at least, whatever may be
thought elsewhere hold that the right
Of home rule and home trial, of home
law ard home magistracy, is born with
and IN man as much as the right &c
drink fIOm the home fountain or breathe
the bone air.
Let Ireland remember the blOodshed
and the heroic effort spent without avail
in her long and cruel struggle for domes
tic rights. and let her now, without
looking too narrowly into the details o
the measure, expect from the awakened
conscience of Great Britain and from
the hands of her enlightened minister
any concession which the wise and war
. Parnell shall be willing to take, the dis
, ruptiOn of corrupt Union, an Iris

WE bad only time to announce last
week the fact that the Democratic Con-
gressional conference of this district
which met at Somerset on Tuesday, had
nominated Humphrey d. Tate. of Bed
ford. Taking all the circumstances
into consideration this is undoubtedly as
strong, if it is not the very strongest
nomination that could have been made.
In the first place Mr. Tate's ample quail
ifications for the position are admitted
by all who know him. and in the second
place his remarkable strength as can
didate in his own county, in which the
majority sometimes falls on the one side
and sometimes on the other, was well
attested when he was a candidate for
PrOthOnOtaTy of Bedford county in 1881
and was elected by the unprecedented
majority of l ,434 votes. Mr.. Tate is a
lawyer by profession and soon after his
admission to the bar was elected District
Attorney of his native county, At
present he fills the position Of Chief
Clerk in the office of William II. Steng-
er, Secretary of the Commonwealth -
He stands, therefore, in the presence of
the people of this district backed by the
most emphatic endorsement Of the voters
of lis own county that they could give
him, to which may be added as convin-
cling testimony of his fitness for the
discharge Of important public duties the
responsible position he now holds. The
district is Republican, but it is not hope.
lessiv so, since John Reilly, of Altoona,
was elected in 1874. and Gen. Coffroth
OF Somerset, IN 1878. Whether Mr.. TaJe
can ue elected or not will only be known
after the votes are counted on next
Tuesday. Let the result be what II
may, however. there is something ,

Black and Blaine.

of "A pIous resolution to revisit his hirUh-
place before the faded leaves had al
fallen from the trees. The political ad
~i"" which ne has given To his friends
"a Jug the way has been, we take 1t.
merely incidental.
Summed up in brief. Mr.. Biaiue's
counsel 20 the voters of Pennsylvania is
that the tariff, the amelIOratiOn of the
condition of the southern blacks, and
all the other great national questions
are involved in the candidacy of General
Beaver. Mr.. Blaine's speeches, with
trifling alterations, would serve equally
well in Minnesota.
Mr.. Black is also making a sort of
tTiumphal progress through PenEsylva-
MIA, and he is received everywhere with
unbounded enthusiasm. He is speaking
TOO, but he IS speaking right to the
point. The issues " hich he presents to
the voters are those Immediately con
cerning the honest administration of the
business of the State, the strict enforce
ment of the constitutional safeguards
against oppression and discrimination
by monopolies, and the ameioTatiOn of
the condition, not of the negroes of the
South, but of the wOrklngmen of the
/ State of Pennsylvania.
/ Although the two distinguished gen.
/ tlemen have no. met, there has been II
! a certain sense a joint discussion
I between them as to what questions are
involved in The pending election. II
+ seems to us that Mr.. Black has clearly
got the better OF Mr.. Blaine in tn,
argument.
But could the Beaver managers havt
paid a more significant tribute to thr
vigor with which Mr.. Black is prosecut
ing his campaign than by sending al
the way to the KenDebec for the fore
most of living Republicans to come ant
try to beat him.-N Y. Sln.

The Constitutional Convention Com
mitteee, composed of twelve gentlemen,
Democrats and Republicans, who assist
ed in framing the new Constitution of
this State, has addressed a printed cir
cular to the candidates for the Legisla-
ture Of all parties in every county in the
State, requesting from each an answer
to the following inquiry IF elected
will you earnestly advocate legislation
enforcing Articles XVI and XVII Of
the New Constitution, with appropriate
civil and criminal remedies?" a Dem
ocratic candidate can, of course, give
but one answer to this question, and that
in the affirmative, because it is the most
vital plank in the Democratic platform.
The Committee states its intention to
publish the replies 10 this inquiry before
the election. In view Of the fact that
a. the last Republican State Convention
Mr. Huliugs, Of NenangO county, del
egate TO it. and who is "a member Of the
present Legislature, offered the following
resolution "Res0lUcd, that the Repub-
lican patty pledges itself to enforce
Articles XVI and XVII of the ConsJi-
tuition, relating 20 private corporations
railroads, telegraphs and canals, with
appropriate legislation" s" and that the
Convention rejected it by vote of ayes
65, nays, 70, it will be interesting to read
the replies of Joseph Masters and E.
James, the Republican candidates ID
this county. If they answer in the af-
drmative they repudiate the action of
their own Ssate Conven tioB, and if they
reply iU The negative they repudiate the
State Constitution which they will be
required to take a solemn oath to sup
port, if they are elected. 1t IS trying
position IN which to be placed, and they
will perhaps avoid the dilemma by taking
TO the woods.

THE Republican Congressional con-
ferrees from this district, after having
spent six weeks in .balloting for a caDdi-

breaking the deadlock by nominating
Edward Scull, Of Somerset. This result

speech withdrawing his name. On the
