BETWEEN two anecdotes. which might
have been funny enough in campaign
not as serious as this campaign is, Rev
J. S. Willis came up strong with this
demand:
Why should not the hundreds elect
their own representatives in the legisla-
ture Thep every one would know the
man who was running for Office and the
best man would be elected.
It is not an unreasonable demand that
every one should "know the man who was
running for office" We are free to ad-
init that the preacher-politician is right
in that demand; that it is timely, brave,
noble and irrepressible demand. 1t is a
demand Of n novelist, if not that Of a
poet. II is not, however, so imaginative
and ETHEREAL as it may appear 1t is true
that while many Democrats, the majority,
in fact, do know "the man who was run
ming" and the man who is run
Ling too, the majority of voters
in the grand old party" which
Rev. Mr. Willis represents do not know
either man and don't care. 1t would not
have been inappropriate, however, foi
Mr. Willis to have preached that doc
trine from the stump or stumped it from
the pulpit in Sussex when the levy court
was depriving the hundreds there Of rep
resentation on juries; when for two
years there was none but Republican
juror on either the grand or petit jury
of Sussex county.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2s.--Hon. Wayne
MacVeagh publishes an open letter to the
editor of the New York Tribune in reference
TO the charge Of dishonesty against him as
embodied in Judge Gresham's decision
cited yesterday. Mr.. MacVeagh denies that
he did any wrong and says: "The truth is
that my part in the litigation to which you
allude happens to be one Of those acts
about which a lawyer is entitled to cherish
an honest pride, because it was wholly
unselfsh effort, without hope Of reward, to
secure justice for deserving person"

Mages and Prices.

To the Editor of the Evening Journal.
SIR: - The mechanic who got
50 week before the war, under
a tariff for revenue only, was
better off than mechanic now
with $40 week Before the war every
thing was much cheaper than it is now.
Sugar was the same then, that it is now.
There were no trusts and monopolies
then, as there are now. House rents
are double and treble now what they
were then An eight room house could
then be rented for 80 per quarter, and a
house on Market street containing eleven
rooms rented in 1857 for S % . year, in
1861 it rose TO S225 then up to SiO0 be-
fore the close of the war, and since then
the rent has still increased Rent was
then paid, quarterly, and not demanded,
i'm advance or monthly as it is now. AT
this time mechanic cannot rent
comfortable house, under $40 or $l2 2
month Say his wages are SIC
per week; it does not much more than
meet expenses Before the war you
could do good marketing for s where
now il takes So to provide the same
amount of provision. You could then
buy chickens for 373 cents a pair, and 81
cents was considered a big price; now
they cost you from 81 to $3.50 pair.
Eggs were then 10 and 70 cents a dozen
sweet breads, cents pair. now 40 anC
go. No doubt You will say mechanics
should not eat that kind of food. Taxes
there are no end of taxes, we are taXeC
almost for the very air we breathe. II
Republican could he would not ever
have that free.
Il was under Republican administra
tions that foreign labor was Transported
here TO cheaper native labor IL wa
under a Republican administration tha
the Chinese were brought here. Th
Italians, Huns and Poles were brough
here to work upon our railroads and
prominent Republican lawyer here wa
one of the first movers in it. Remembe
the Chinese nor other foreigns did no
seek us, we sought them.

Democrat who splits his ticket, If there

not, under any consideration, stamp the

TnE Philadelphia Telegraph, Repub-

current number Of the North American
Review is "a blunder or crime, or
both" It intimates that the 'leader
discarded at Minneapolis has "deliber-
ately chosen TO run his long, ugly knife
into the vitals of the Republican party,
and twist IL round and round. The
exigencies OF the party whose feshly
idol was once the mighty James G..

that these old cronies should fall out al
last because the wisest of them foresees
disaster and warns the other not TO kill
the goose that lays the golden eggs The
break with Blaine is on the Mckinley

party means to adjust the Mckinley
