Concerning New Parties.

Delegates from forty counties repre-
ssnting the Lincoln Republican Party
met in Philadelphia and irforsed Mr..
Berry, the Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer The object of the
meeting az explained by the chairman,
was sfor the deliverance of the govern
ment Of Pennsylvania from the hands
OF corrupt and dishonest men, We
have no fault to find with the object,
which is entirely laudable. But we do
not believe in these side-issues, these
sprouts and off f-shoots from the parent
Republican tree. 1t tends to weaken it.
If the Grand Old Party needs pruning.
why then give 1T vigorous pruning,
but do not permit its vitality to be sap
psd by encouraging unwholesome ex-
t-aneous growths.
The Republican party is vigorous
enough to eliminate any poison or cor
rdption within it by natural processes
II isn't necessary to join new party in
order to vote independently. Any man
who regards it as duty to vote against
candidate Of his own party is at iber-
ty to do 30. And it is by far the most
effective way to cure any evils that
may exist within it, III candidate is
defeated through the efforts of a third
party, it Ii afterwards attributed to the
cussedness Of the new party instead of
the virtuous indignation OF the more
conscientious adherents Of the old one,
the blow il thus parried by those at
whom it was aimed. When a thing
needs to be hit the manly way is to
strike straight from the shoulder, and
hit 1t hard. There il no need of chang
ing your name to do it Spirit.
And the things that deserve hitting
the hardest in the G. O. P. are the
Ward and Township "heelers"-the
men who buy votes and have them for
sale at every primary. 1t is sad fact
that some alleged Republicans sell their
franchises to the heelers who in turn
sell them to the highest bidder.
This business is carried on in every
ward in this town, and also in some of
the townships. In some cases our party
nominations have been controlled them,
and the longer this work is condoned
the more useless it will become for
either poor or honest man to aspire to
county Office.
In the large towns it is practiced to a
far greater extent than in the small
ones. TIE ward heelers In Philadelphia
have heretofore been the whole show
there and it was them who made pos
sible the domination of the crowd there,
who yet control our state organization,
but whose power in the city has been
broken by political revolution follow
ing the exposure OF their methods.
The ward heelers Of Philadelphia
were the strength of the gang who ran
the city and the state, and were 1t not
FOR them, no such man as J. Lee Plum
mer would today be on our state ticket
-as Plummer and Walton were the
gangs chief agents in the House at
Harrisburg, last winter.
And it IL not likely that the personnel
OF our county ticket would be exactly
the same as 1t IL were it not for these
heelers.
But as our friend OF the Spirit" says
it IL not necessary to join new party
In order to vote against an unfair or
disreputable candidate, and with its
present National Leadership the party
can right itself.

SPEAKING Of the many trials by
court-martial in the army, Gen. Grant
says that fully 75 per cent Of these
trials were due to the use of bad liquor
in the dens Of vice near military posts.
Says the general: These depraved
creatures use every device in their
power to induce the soldiers to patron-
ize their brothels. where those who
yield to temptation are frequently drug
ged and robbed. Tt liz distressing that
the prosperity of the vile resorts is due
to the activity of the good and worthy,
though misguided citizens, who have
succeeded in abolishing the canteen OF
the army"

Faulty History.

Our remarkable governor in his speech
at West Chester. a few days ago, at
tempted to help the State machine and
discredit the efforts which decent Re
publicans are making to overthrow 1t
by declaring that reformers had defeat
ed Blaine and Harrison for the presi-
dency In this he was as wrong as he
generally is when he comes to discuss
political questions. 1t is matter OF
history that Blaine was defeated by the
vote of Oneida county, n. Y, the home
of Roscoe Conkling. who was regular
of the regulars and the apostle Of ma
chine politics. He was the close friend
and associate Of the Camerons and
Quay. He always maintained that II
was treason to cut the Republican
ticket. but. like all such sticklers for
regularity. he did not hesitate to defeat
even a Republican candidate for Presi-
dent to satisfy his personal grievance
In this State the Camerons and Quay
were hostile to Blaine, and did not
raise hand to help him. The Blaine
forces were led by John Stewart, at
present justice of the State supreme
court, and who two years before had
been the Independent Republican can
didate for governor Had Blaine been
elected President, Stewart would have
been chosen to the United States Senate
and superseded DON Cameron. This
was well known to the State machine
leaders. and hence they desired the de-
feat of Blaine. and were overjoyed when
it was accomplished by their friend
Conkline.
As to the defeat of Harrison when
candidate for reelection, practically
the same statement may be made. Quay
was bitterly opposed to his renomina-
ton and did nothing to secure his cleo
ton. He knew that Harrison's re-elec-
tion meant his own retirement from the
United States Senate and the election
of John DaIzell in his stead. and also
that his place as leader of the machine
would have been taken by the late G.
L. Magee. who was in high favor with
Harrison Quay's friends in Pennsyl-
vania and New York and other States
therefore sulked in their tents or voted
against Harrison. who had the earnest
support of every true Republican in
Pennsylvania. Herrison's defeat led to
the reelection Of Quay to the Senate
and the continuance of the domination
of his corrupt machine to the present
day.
The Independent Republicans of
Pennsylvania, who have always been
arrayed against the Cameron, Quay and
Penrose State machines. have never
failed to support the Republican can
didates for President or any honest
candidates on the State ticket who
represented the real will of the party.
The machine leaders. on the contrary,
have twice helped to defeat Republican
presidential candidates, also such State
and local candidates regularly nomi-
mated whom they did not wish elected
or could not control. In view Of these
facts Governor Pennypacker's recent
excursion into political history was as
ridiculous az was that which he made
when he declared that M. s. Quay was
greater man than Clay or Webster
