We clip the following complimentary
notices from three different issues of the
Philadelphia Evening Herald:
The Americus Club Camden, held its
regular weekly meeting last night.
Mr.. John r. Wright, a Republican and
so-called protectionIst, having been In
attendance by invitation, defended the
high-tariff.tax policy of the Republican
party. OF course he was laboring under
the disadvantage Of having an intelligent
and consequently an unfrlendly audience.
As he stated he was without preparation
and though well supplied with assertions
was short on facts. He was answered BY
+. L. Reber, an attache Of the Mint, In
logical, cogent and eloquent argument, and
by Edward Doyle, member of the club.
After dlssultory discussion the Chair
called on William Warner, Of Camden, who
was present as a spectator Mr.. Warner
responded in speech Of great force and
eloquence, in which he dressed up the
tariff dogma to the Queens taste. 1t
was an entirely satisfactory mesting.
Hon. Robert Klotz, of Mauch Chunk,
Pa, Is urged strongly for Congress by his
party friends in the Eighth Congressional
district, comprising Monroe, Pike, Carbon
and Northampton counties. Maj. Klotz If

ticisn, knowing the why and wherefor Of
every move, he has very few equals in the
State. As citizen and Democrat he is OF
the best. He served four years-from 1875
to 1sS2-in Congress and the record he
made Is distinctively creditable and honor
able. He made good Congressman and
was ever on the alert to serve the interests
Of constituents. The knowledge of this
service Is remembered to his benefit, and
II be should actively enter the contest fol

would do him much good throughout his

The provisions Of the Mills bill, as amend

radically change the general scope of the
measure as outlined by It's framer in his in

Of the bill Is to promote the prosperity of

REPUBLICAN,.

Philadelphia PresS.-No Democrat be-
lieves that there is any chance whatever
that Pennsylvania will go Democratic this
year; no Republican has any such fear and
none will be alarmed and made anxious
about the result. Chairman Cooper under
stands this quite as we'll as anybody, and
better than most people. But he is entire
ly right in his purpose to prosecute the
campaign with the same yigor and earnest
ness that he would give it if Pennsylvania
were a doubtful state. The Republicans
of Pennsylvania can do something more
than give itsselectoral vote to Harrison and
Morton. They can aid very greatly in CIV
| ing a spirit and push to the campaign, the
influence of which shall be felt In all parts
of the country and have a material effect
in states that are doubtful. A spirited
campaign here will be a benefit all along
the line; an Indifferent effort would en-
courage Indifference elsewhere and in vital
quarters. Our Democratic friends would
| like nothing better than dull campaign
| in Pennsylvania. based upon too much
| Republican confidence. They would quick
| ly make use of it to encourage and inspirit
| their party in other states. They would
| like to have this great Industrial Common
wealth show the slightest Indifference to
| the great issue which so directly concerns
the people. They will be disappointed.

Omaha World.-It is a very poor COM
pliment to Irish intelligence which the Re-
publicans pay when they say Irishmen
will not vote the Democratic ticket because
of their prejudice against England. How
did England destroy Irish industry BY
putting prohibitory tariff on its products.
How are Republicans seeking to stife
American Industry BY putting prohibi
tory tariff on its products. 1t is not ger
mano to American politics, yet it may be
well to expose Republican deception by
stating that England is not free trade
country. 1t has a tariff which produces
proportionately more revenue than the
American tariff, area and population con
sidered. France and Germany and all 9th
er European countries have protective tar
ifs. If Irishmen would really aim blow
at England, let them join with the Demo
Gratis for the repeal of the Republican ship
ping laws and see how quickly American
free ships will cut into England's commerc,
and prestige.

1t il said, that the opponents Of the
Blair bill have mustered force of "a votes
against the bill IN the Senate when it
comes up on its passage. Four more votes
would defeat it. Heretofore there have
only been IL votes against it IN that body.
Nj. Blair gave notice t-day that he would
ask the Senate to sit the bill out to-mor-
row. He is growing apprehensive as TO
the result, and realizes the longer vote
on the bill is postponed the weaker it gets
and the more danger there is of its defeat
in the Senste.

WASHINGTON, D. c., February a-Act-

made report to the department of State
in regard to an important invention recent
ly patented by RussiaL subject and now
being successfully worked in Russia. He
says: ''The invention consists of method
to produce iron and steel direct from the

the construction of the furnace, which Is
simple and inexpensive. 1t will be diff
cult for our iron masters TO be-
lieve that under the new process

nary smelling process. is taken direct from
the furnace to the rolling mill and turned
into sheet iron; yet such is the case, there
being TO my knowledge three furnaces in
this country now in full operation and
working with great success.
There can be but little doubt that this
new invention will create perfect revolu-
ton in the manufacture of charcoal iron.

COLUMBUS, O., February s.-Having
watched very carefully the testimony OF
Algernon Granville in the Thirteenth
Ward tally sheet cases, we have observed
that he has failed to connect Thomas
Cogan with the crime, and when asked to
identify Blackburn he would not give q
positive Identification, which commends
an acquittal; this, together with the fact
that a man could not see Blackburn at
Montgomcry's house, as Granville states,
because it is an impossibility to see
through dead wall There has been no
testimony elected yet against Montgomery
concerning the Thirteenth Ward tally
sheet frauds. -.
The cause OF the State seems to be lost
through Granyilles admissions, and public
indignation against him and the prosecutor
is growing. Mr.. Beck was put upon the
stand and said he gave Emil Kesewitter
some blank tally sheets and MIR. Converse
stated they could show how nsed, and for
