The Truc InWardness Of II.

Wilkes-Barre Times: 1.-THE true inward
ness of this fight Is not for the state chair
manship per sc or for any other picayune
position, but for the presidency Of the
United States. Cameron Is furnishing the
sinews of war and Quay IL putting up the
brains. II the scheme goes through sue
cessfully Comeron will be the next presi-
dental nominee. In order to achieve this
end every detail of the state political ma
chinery must be In control Of Cameron,
Quay & Co., and all the present maneuver-
ing Is toward tho one end. The state
craftsmanship carries with 1t an enormous
power and this will be exerted on the ma
tional delegates to be elected next year.
Quay's intense opposition, the bitter
fight against and subsequent defeat Of
the apportionment measure Is readily ac-
counted for on this same hypothesis.
Had 1t passed eight national delegates mt
large would have been added to Pennsyl-
vania's quota and these eight may not
have beer easy for Quay and Cameron to
control Quay naither denies nor af-
firms the above statements, but they are
known to be true"

flcient. His delegates, to be Of right SER

COMMENT OF THE PRESS,
Candidate ROhrhnch's ift1c IOkc


funny story Is told of Mr.. Rohrbach,
the Northumberland county candidate for
| state treasurer, and Senator Quay, which
will probably indicate Mr.. Rohrbach's
feeling In the present state contest. After
Harrison was elected president, Rohrbach,
who had always been worker for the Re.
publican party in his county, and usually
controlled the Republican affairs of the
| county, decided to become q candidate
for collector Of internal revenue. He was
personal friend Of Senator Cameron, and
expected his support for the place. He
got all his papers ready, and when lie
| went to Washington to file them he dis
| covered Senator Cameron had gone TO
Europe. His friends insisted on his going
to Senator Quay for assistance. This he
| did, but, SO the story goes, Senator Quay
did not know him and told him frankly
that he did not consider him (Rohrbach)
| in politics In Pennsylvania. This miffed
Rohrbach. He filed his papers, however,
| and the other man got the place. Rohr-
bach did not forget Quay's words, and
said at the time that perhaps the day
| would come when Quay would be con-
vinced he was in politics. The story
| goes that n short time ago when the pres
ent state fight warmed up, one Of Quay's
messengers called on Rohrbach and said
the senator would like to see INN In Har-
risburg the next day what does he
| want with me?" asked Mr. Rohrbach Of
| the messenger. "He wants to see you
about the coming political fight" an
swered the messenger. "Well you go
back and tell your friend Senator Quay
that don't consider that he Is In politics
| in Pennsylvania"
Democratic Solicitude Too palpablc.
Easton Free Press: zone Of the most
| significant facts in connection with the
| present controversy in state politics Is
that every Democratic newspaper In the
| commonwealth Is advocating the cause Of
Senator Quay. Not only Is this true, but
We find that those papers masquerading
as neutral or independent, but which are
| actually Democratic in their politics, find
themselves on the side Of the senator. It
was but brief season ago when the DEM
ocratic newspapers Of the state teemed
with the most violent denunciations of the
distinguished Republican leader. Moth
ing was too false, too damnable or too
mOnstrous with which to charge him. He
was held up as a political monster and
charged with all the sins Of the deca-
lOgue. What Is the cause Of the sudden
change OF the attitude of these papers?
How is Senator Quay any different today
than he was when he was the subject Of
their lying denunciations? What is there
in 1t for the Democratic party whatever
the result of this contest? The worst
thing which can be said OF Senator Quay's
present position Is that he has the sup
port Of the Democratic party to a man.
This in itself, should cause Republicans
to reflect whether the party would not be
better off by the success Of the other
side"

The stockbridge Course.

At a. m. today the numbers will be
given out at Stockbridge's and at a.
M the tickets will be sold for the Stock
bridge course Of 1856 There has been
aEgreat deal of interest manifested thus
far and we hope to see substantial peeuni-
ary basis for it in today's sale. One of Mr..
Stockbridge's stumbling blocks in the
past was that che gave patrons Of his
courses more than he could afford. He
had pride III his work and he was toe
generous. Even his last course, where he
failed to give all the entertainments. he
gave all the leading ones before he shut
down. A man who has given SO much
pleasure in the past to not only lovers OF
music and the drama but has placed on
the platform in Portland most of the
leading pulpit and platform orators Of
the country, can surely be expected te
give q much better series of entertain
ments than tyro in the business. The
public must decide whether they will
have this course or not. 1t rests with
them. And it is an excellent course As
glance at the amusement column shows
Let us give Mr.. Stockbridge strong
hearty support.

that, making forty or fifty visits. Other
troubles followed in the wake Of the
fractures, the stomach, nerves, etc. he
was in bed n early ten weeks.
James H. Pierce was next called and
he said he was on the wharf at the time
OF the accident and that DR.. Morrill, told
himsthere was man in the waiting
room who had been injured, and he went
with him and saw DIR. Bacon, that he
helped move the doctor onto the boat and
assisted him into the carriage; that when
he found the doctor he was in a dazed
condition and it was some time before he
recognized DIR. Merrill.
Miss Abby A. Parker was the next
witness and she testified that she was a
trained nurse and took care of DIR. Bacon
during fourteen weeks of his illness, that
for the first fortnight the doctor suffered
great pain and was unable TO sleep with
out the use of opiates, and that when sne

Bacon, who testified that she was ule
daughter of DIR. Bacon, and that she 1ook
care of him with what assistance was
rendered by the DOCTORS nurse during MS
illness. and was taking care of him to
day. She corroborated what the nurse
had said in regard to the use OF oplates
and the suffering of her father. She said
that prior to the accident her father was
we'll, healthy man, although delicate.
Never within her remembrance had he
lost a day at the office, and that he
frequently and in fact most always
walked at least twice a day from his
house to his Office but that since the
accident he has only been in his office
little while forenoons, and last July was
obliged to give up entirely his business
and move to Bar Mills. At this point
the court adjourned until ten o'clock this

Senator seiders Thinks New England

r eed.

Hon. George M. Seiders spoke at the
Lincoln Club banquet in Boston Thurs
day night The Boston journal says OF
him:
Mr.. Soldiers, the President of the Maine
Senate, has iron gray hair and moustache,
a keen, clear cut face and a prepossessing
manner. He spoke warmly OF his state
and the achievements of her men. and
paid a, neatly turned compliment to the
auspicious beginning Of the Lincoln Club.
He also referred in very humorous way
to an experience which he had in public
speaking in Boston not long ago, when n
reporter confused another mans speech
with his and made him utter some opin-
ions which it was awkward for him to
explain when he got back to Maine.
Mr.. Seiders then went on to urge the
advisability of New England holding to-
gether and acting as a unit. especially in
political affairs as affecting the nation.
New England is Important but small
and can only hold it's own with the coun-
try by holding together He had known
Thomas B Reed for 18 years, and ad-
mired him 1t was beyond any question
of doubt in his mind that Mr.. Reed
would not only be a candidate, but a
strong one, and if New England looks
after her interests she will support him
as unit. (Applause.)

TEARING UP THE ASPHALT.
For the Cane Electric Tracks On Fore
street-It Comes Up Hard-Interesting
Scenes

Over so italians were at work yesterday
tearing up the short piece of asphalt paw
ing on Fore street, preparatory TO the lay
ing of the Cape Electric tracks. This as
phaIt came up very hard. The top layer
of black cement, about two inches thick,
WAS nried up without much difficulty,
but the formation layer of cement and
pebbles about six inches thick, was a
difficult matter. They were tearing it up
in two ways One was to drive in big
wedoes and break it off that way and
the other was to pry off with crow bars
crew of eight of the little Italians with
as many crow bars, would get them un-
der the edge and then all pry together.
They would shout "yow, yow," and then
lump and strain on the ends Of the bars
and for radius of 10 or IL feet the sheet
of asphalt would bend like ice, but it
wouldn't break, although big workman
with huge sledge was pounding down
upon it all the time. In one place they
pried for about 10 minutes without any
effect, and then the padrone big fellow
himself, got excited, seized the sledge
and dealt mighty blow. 1t cracked off
a large piece
After getting through this tough foun-
dations layer of the asphalt, the workmen
came to layer of cobble stones that pre-
sented good deal of difficulty to the
pick axes. 1t was long, hard journey
to get down to the sand where the sleep
ers must be laid.

car horses, now that the electrics are
ready for business The company has
about $50 horses and it is intended to sell
all but about 25 of them. Not few
horse buyers have had their eyes upon
some of the best horses for some time.
Many of the car horses are handsome and
even spirited horses when harnessed to a
carriage. The stylish black pair that
are frequently used by Manager Newman
and the officers of the company when
driving over the line are car horses that
do good day s work over the tracks most
Of the time.
Possibly some of the horses at least
