The Independent Republicans, says
the Plttsburg Post, did good work for
the State and their party IN 1882, but
they threw it all away and Ieinst ated
the ringsters in greater power when
they refused to cooperate with the
Pattison administration in a just ap-
portionment OF tie State, and in 1856
when they supported Beaver for Gov
ernor, whom they found SO Ohjectiona-

SOME OF the Republican party organs
in the State, says the Harrisburg Patri-
ot, are endeayoriDg to create the inn
preston that the contest for the Repub-
licau guOernatorisl nomination is an
entirely harmonious one. That is to
say that no matter who shall be made
the standard bearer the rank and file of
the party win rally around him with
enthusiasm and devotion aud place the
wreath o! victory on his brow. They
would have theiT readers believe that
bossism is to play no part in the selec-
tion offs State ticket that the machin-
cry OF the party is not to be used for any
particular candidate, and in short that
those who win the fghl will do so on
their merits and in no other way.
Let US see jlst now how the tune of
the organs has been received. In the
western part OF the State Christopher
l.. Magee, an influential Republican.
does not hesitate 10 publicly state that
in The event of the nomination OF Ssna-
tor Delamater a revolt in the party will
follow. There was less cause for
kicking in 1882, " saws he. when Pat.
!ison was elected oyer Beaver, and [ do
not believe Mr.. DslmaJer can be elect.
ed Governor of PeLnsy lvania." In the
city of Lancaster lives Thomas B.
Cochran, the Republican editor of a
Republican newspaper, the E,rdmiRer,
who occasionally iires a broadside at
what be saws is the Quay gubernatoriaI
ticket, Delsmster and Martin. He is
also of the opinion that the contest is
not devoid Of bossism. And Wharton
Barker, of Philadelphia, declares that
"any candidate for Governor Of Penn
sylvania who may be nominated by SEN
ator Qday or his adherents will meet
with organized independent Republican
opposition"
Thus it will be seen that the contest
for Governor on the Republican side of
the fence is not as harmonious as some
OF the party organs would have the peo-
pie believe It is. Indeed, it is impossi.
BILE for them to Disguise the fact that
the independent Republican voters will
not support candidate who is put OF
the ticket by the power of boss. Plain
is the hand writing on the wall.

THE Philadelphia Times says THE
local newspapers of Pennsylvania are
the most creditable of any published in
IN the country, and they are rapidly
growing in prosperity and power.
They have done their part TO advance
their respective sections. and 1t should
be remembered that their usefulness is
just commensurate with their patron
age. The city journal, so far from att

ofthe community and generous as Is the
public appreciation OF its offices, It

Is Foraker a Fool or n knaye {;

The first result of the Investigation
OF The Ohio balIot-box forgery has been
the dea b OF Foraker politically. There
was not much life in the corpse after
Mr.. Murat Halsteaj's explanations, it
is true, but whatever there was is now
extinc-. Ex President Hayes is a vital,
rampant political force compared TO
Foraker.
We do not believe that even Fora
ker's friends will grieve much over the
result, or be inclined 10 dispute the
business OF the general verdic HIS
own testimony, as we'll IS that of Wood,
has shown HIM TO be so selfish, t:eaeh-
eTous and INSCRIPTIONS a politician
that their former admiration for him
must have changed TO cOntempt. He
cared nothing for his party his only
thought WAS his own advancement, and
like all such men, sooner OF .ater. he
rushed fead!ODg TO his own destruction
Foraker seems 20 have conducted his
inquiry into the ballot box forgery on
the same principle that the London
Times did its attack upon Parnell. Is
editor wanted to secure letters incrim-
mating the great Irish leader. so IT sent
Tor man or doubtful character, and
told him whas was needed. In course
OF time they were produced, and the
astute editor accepted them as genuine
without CUES ion. In the same way,
Foraker told Wood what he wanted
and he got it. You can get letters in
eliminating anybody in any crime if
you are willing 10 pay for them and
don't care 10 inquire as to their authen-
ITCHY.
The only question to be determined
oy the House Committee now is
whether Mr.. Foraker IS simply a fool,
or kEaye as we'll. In any case he
deserves the former title, and Wood
intimates that he is worse. His word.
however, will not go very far, and un~
I'll Mr.. Foraker has beer proved a

IT is said 10 have been discovered
that band OF Mexicans calling them
selves IA private bank" haYe been
coming United States silver dollars and
issuing the same to Mexicsns who give
them IN return for goods purchased on
this side OF the line. The profit in this
scheme can be readily seen when it is
known that The United States silver
dollar Of the present only contains ~
cents worth OF the precious metal.
THIS alleged bank takes y cents worth
of bullion and with q stamp, the exact
counterpart of those used al the United
states Mints, stamp cut the dollar.
There is nothing counterfeit about the
dollar, aud il is therefore difficult TO
detect it. The finsrceers who made
the discovery are Of the opinion that
this wholesale coming OF unauthorized
silver dollars has been going on for the
past two years, and assert that at least
100000 illegal dollars have teen
foisted upon the citizens Of the UnIted
States by the keen.witted Mexieans.
