THE Republican representatives of the
eighteenth district met at Lewistown a
few days ago and abandoned the conferee
system of making congressional nomina-
tious, and adopted plan giving each OF
the seven counties in the district repre-
sentation according to the Republican
vote. By this Franklin will have six dele
gates, Huntington five, Mifiin, Union,
Snyder and Juniata four each and Fulton
three, making convention of thirty dele
gates. The same day similar committees
in the sixteenth district met at Lock
Haven and adopted the plan suggested by
the late State convention of one delegate
for each county. one for each 1000 Repub-
lican votes or mai ority fraction thereof.
No other district seems willing to adopt
the brilliant fifteen puzzle that prevails in
this district This district will probably
stand unique and alone as the only one
that would tolerate such mode of nom
mating congressional candidates. Perhaps
the others have too much regard for the
personal liberty of their delegates, and q
desire to avoid scandalous bribery suits
afterw ards.-Er.

THE terms upon which the United
States Government will consent to regard
the controversy with Chill as closed have
been made public. They are simple, de6-
mite and eminently just. 2 The United
States accepts the withdrawal of the Malta
note and the apology rendered by the San
tiago government for the murderous as
sault upon our seamen at Valparaiso. The
amount of pecuniary indemnity to those
dependent upon the murdered men is to
be decided by friendly negotiations be-
tween the two governments.
The dispatch sent to Mr.. Egan shows
the desire Of the President and his Cabinet
to make reparation as easy as possible for
Chilli Having won the main point at issue
the United States can well afford to deal
magnanimously with the smaller republic.
There is no wish in this country to humili-
ate Chill unduly. The administration will
undoubtedly show as much generosity in
settling the final terms of the affair as il
did courage and frmness in insisting upon
the vindication Of the national honor and
full atonement for the insult to the flag.

WASHINGTON.

In the House, Monday, there was
squabble over the rules. Several Demo
cratic members criticised Ex-Speaker
Reeds idea of quorum, and he replied
that ''The principle that the presence OF
majority of members constitutes quorum
has had the sanction of every court TO
which it has been referred, and l think
that it ought to have the sanction OF this
house"
On Tuesday the proposed Democratic
caucus on the silver question was aoand-
oned. Mr.. Hsrter, in speaking of 1t said;
az decided not to push the silver caucus
for the reason that Democratic opinion IS
changing very rapidly, not only upon the
wisdom of passing silver bill. but upon
the merits of the question. While last
Thursday nine out of ten men would have
predicted that free silver bill would pass
the house, to- day venture to express the
opinion that no bill providing Tor the Tree
and unlimited coinage of silver will pass
this SESSION.
"The most intense, honest and earnest
of the free silver people recognized the
fact that free silver plank in the platform
would break the party in twain and that
we would have to say goodbye to New
England, to the Middle states, and such
states as Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and
Michigan.
In the house the discussion or. the rules
was continued.
In the Senate, the Committee on cleo
tions reported in favor of Dubois as Sena-
tor from Idaho. There will be minority
report in favor of Claggett. Mr.. Palmer,
Gil. submitted resolution for election
of Senators by the people. Mr.. voorhees,
rose to question of personal privilege
and in heated terms denounced the
st atement made in q Washington dispatch
to the Philadelphia Press that he had Of
fered to assist Senators Cameron and Quay
in opposing the confirmation Of Judge
Dallas if they would help defeat the con-
frmation of Judge Woods. Senators
Cameron and Quay also denied that there
had been any bargain.

Praising the President.

At the meeting Of the State Committee
in Philadelphia last Friday, the followin
Resolutions were adopted.
Resolved, That we tender to pyeddeni
Harrison and his Cabinet our congratula-
tions on their very able and successful
management Of the unfortunate Chilean
affair
Resolved, That the frmness, wisdom
and patriotism Displayed by the administers
tion throughout this threatening and dan
gerous imbrogIio have been characterized
by that patience and msgnanimity found
alone in true craftsmanship.
Resolved. That the attempt on the
part of few bombastic Democratic parti
sans and their British allies to character
ize the Presidents late methods as parti
san measure, is as unreasonable as it il
unjust, and is, in the light Of the latest in
formation, wholly without foundati on.
Resolved, That the firm and graceful
manner by which the administration has
compelled the world to understand that
the dignity and honor Of our country will
be maintained at home and abroad, enti-
ties it to the lasting gratitude of all free
and grateful people.

Meeting Of the State Committee.

At the meeting Of the Republican State

burg was selected as the place, and Wed
nesday, April Goth, as the time for the
Republican State Convention. There
were nineteen votes for Pittsburg as the
place, and twenty-one votes for Williams
port, but Harrisburg seemed to have the
call. The time is two weeks earlier than

necessitate the holding of our primariesino'
later than Saturday, April 10th.
Our County Committee meets tomorrow
to decide this and several other matters
regarding our primary.
