when the Chicago platform was adopted. 1t
is of so recent occurrence that it is hardly
necessary to say that the Chronicle repudiated
that platform in strong words, and avowed
its intention Of opposing the election of the
party nominees for President and Vice Presi-
dent. In fact, in almost every issue of the
paper since then our contemporary has
opposed the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver and showed the dangers to be feared in
the election Of Bryan. The county conyen-
ton on Monday endorsed the Chicago plat
form and the candidacy Of Bryan, and the
Chronicle, like the Democratic leaders in this
county, has proved itself an adept as a
financial contortionist Our contemporary is
anything but consistent, and friend Major
should keep in line with the previous editorial
u%ttcrances Of the Chronicle.

HARRISBURG, Aug. 13.-The state Demo-
cratic committee meets here today to &C
cept the resignation of Chairman Robert
E. Wright, of Allentown, and to elect his
successor. Resolutions will be passed en-
dorsing the Chicago nominees and plat
form. As the Withdrawals of William NJ.
Singerly and other electors have not been
filed with the state department, no action
will be taken upon them. 1t is believed
that the Withdrawals will be withheld I'M

order to avoid the calling of a new state
convention. If this is done the state com
mittee may be called together to fill the
vacancies. Colonel John l.. Spangler, of

CONTROLLER LLOYD, of Luzerne county,
has started out well, and if he continues in
the same direction the county will save many
times his salary. For years past it has been
the custom of justices to discharge l~itigants
and place the costs on the county. Indeed, it
is openly asserted by those in position to
know that many justices Of easy conscienccs
have been wont to create lawsuits in their
ncighborhood for no other reason than to
mako costs, which they placed upon the
county. These the Controller will look into
carefully, and wherever he finds an illegal
claim that has been paid, he will surcharge
the amount to the officer issuing the order.
In the same way constables have feeced the
county for years, but Controller Lloyd will
prevent it in the future. He intends to cut
down the expenditures of the county to the
actual legal fees. The same state Of affairs
exist in this county, and the Controller of
SchuylkiH has the same authority as Mr..
l. Jyd, but we question the legal right of
the Controller to s~urcharge the Justices,
although he may have that authority
so far as coustables are concerned.
Now that all legal doubt in reference
to the position has been set at rest by the
Supreme Court, we may expect to hear from
Mr.. Severn in the same vigorous manner as
has marked the introduction of Controller
Lloyd into office. At least that is what the
taxpayers expect and have a right to demand.
