ney-general. wanted to send the state
treasurer and auditor general to the peni-
tentiary as coparceners of Bardsley and
could not then find language strong
enough to denounce the rasca.ity of Bards-
ley. Now. for petty fee, he asks the
board of pardons TO pardon this came
scamp whom he himself placed where he
is. Hensel certainly does not appear to
the best advantage in his new role.
-:Il:-
1t is notice able that few OF the Repub-
lcan papers of this state that coinmen;
on the subject believe that the leaders of
their party mean to support in good faith
any Pe1nsyivanian for the presidential
nomination. All the more necessity tha,
the several congressional districts selcci
| strcng, self-reliant and responsible men
to represent them in the convention.

Senator Chandler is trifie ahead of the
rest cf the American people in his anxiety
for war with Great Britain. Never.hc-
!ess he is right when he proposes that
this country should always have on hand
enough arms and equipments TO place 4
i2rge volunteer army in the field. The
men are always ready and the arms should
be on hand also.
-:II:-
The Harrisburg Telegraph wants Sena-
figure among Pennsylvania Republicans In
the next Republican national convention. II
the senior senator a-pires to such diS.inc-
;lon he ought to revise. renovate and re-
invigora;e his Republ.can,sin In the mean
time. OF late years he has not been able
10 pass inspection as 4 Republican.

A short time ago 1T was announced by
some Democratic newspapers that Sii-
pc?ior Court Judge Orlsdy desired to
be elected a delegate to the Republican
national convention. The Judge has en-
phatically denied that he has any such
ambition and the Democratic organs
should now stop abusing him as parti-
san. He is out of active politics.
-:I:-
Republicans can always be depended
upon to put patriotism above mere parti-
ean.sm when the honor, dignity and
rights of this republic are an issue. Wit
ness the manner in which the Republican
house of representatives has rallied
around the Democratic president now that
he is on the right track.
-:ll:-
Now lot President Cleveland go just one
step further in his Americantsm and for
ward polite request to Ambassador Bay
ard to hand in his resignation. Better dc
1t while the spirit of patriotism moves
him. Just now this republic ought to be
represented in England by man who
loves his country.

Representative Goetner, of Montgom.
cry county, who has served two terms in
the legislature. has announced that he
warts a third term. In Montgomery, as
elsewhere. there are many who have wait.
ed for their turn q long while and are OF
the opinion that two terms should satisfy
Mr.. Goetner.
Hon. John Leisenring. 1t is understood
Will not be seriously opposed in his Gmbi-
ton to be delegate in the national con-
Ventlon, but there is a disposition among
the Republicans of Luzerne to name the
second delegate themselves, instead of per-
mtting Mr.. Leisenring to designate him
-:.l:-
Hon. Chris. L. Magee. of Pittsburg, is
probably wondering why his name does
not appear in the list of delegates a,
large to the Republican national conven.
tion prepared by Brother Quay. Mr.. Ma.
gee will appear in that convention Just
the same, and as delegate, too.
-:lI:-
Next year Republicans who attend the
state convention Of their party at Harris.
burg will not be likely to suffer with the
heat as has been usual. There will be
that advantage in holding the convention
In April.
1t 10 gratifying to notice that the Demo.
cratic newspapers are endorsing the pres
idsnt In his outburst Of patriotic adher-
ence 10 the Monroe doctrine. The effect
Is Doth gratifying and beneficial.

Secretary Of the Commonwealth Reeder
hcpes to be one Of the delegates to the
national convention from the Northamp.
ton Congressional district. Judge Stroh.
OF Carbon, will probably be the other.
