The HERALD correspondent had yer


interesting interview with Victor E.Piolettt


Democratic nominee for the office OF Stat
Treasurer of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Piolette


when encountered, manifested serious dis
pleasure at the tone of the New Yorl


Tribune in tho present contest, and conclud
ed his reference to that paper. by chargin:

full character. "They charge me-" said th'
gentleman, "with meddling with the affair."
of Ohio, and, give lengthy account Of my
appearance and conduct in that State
whereas, at the time they say I was there
had the honor Of addressing an audience
of five thousand people in Nazereth, Penn
sylvania, at the conclusion of which address
l experienced the delightful sensation Of
kissing one hundred of the prettie!t little
babies that man ever laid eyes upon"


"What is your opinion of the coming
great event in this State-I refer to the
election, Of course ~ asked tie newspaper
man.


"My opinion fear, is so like the opinion
of every other man, that it will lack the
ingredient of novelty" said the candidate.
"To tell the truth, find so few people in
my travels who acknowledge allegience to
the other side of the political fence, that I
doubt very seriously, whether we can say,
after election day, that we have won hard
fought battle"


'Do you think Judge Pershing will per-
sist in remaining silent during the cam
paign ?'


'No, do not, although cannot see the
reason for his deserting his position and
making stump speeches at this time. The
mans record is a noble one, and all that he
might say, were it ever so eloquent, would
not change the result He is poor and has
a large family too, and I think, under all
circumstances, he has chosen a very wise
course.


You see the election of our ticket this
year will not be so much in the character of
Democratic victory as it will be the index
to the popular desire for change. The peo-
pie of this country have been so thoroughly
down-trodden of late by the tyranny of
banded legions of public robbers, that any
party or ticket, supporting men whose char
acter and craftsmanship are above rcproach,
will win. The party presenting this purity
of front is the old Democratic party, and it
will redeem this country from the edge of
the abyss upon which its government is now
trembling.


With regard to the majorities for our
ticket in Ohio and this State, I think they
will be SO pronounced as to admit of all the
ballot-box stufl1ng and fraud that the other
side can possibly practice without affecting
the result to our disadvantage. Every
where in this State that 1 have spoken
perfect ovation has been extended to me,
which I have accepted, not as a personal
compliment, but as tribute of respect to
the great party which l have the honor to
humbly represent"


COUNCILS AND THE COURTS.


The opinions of several members of the
bar of this city, have been obtained in the
matter Of the mandamus issued by the
Common Pleas to compel Councils to pass
the Park Loan Bill, and they all unite in
pronouncing the action Of the Court to have
been mistake. A rule to show cause, it is
was the proper preliminary pro-
cedure, and the service of an orr
ginal mandamus upon each men,
ber of Council, according to a
late decision of Judge Allison is the only
proper method to adopt. Instead of COM
plying with the latter rule, capias alone
we're served.
1t is quito probable that this conflict of
authority will be long and bitter.
Ind that before conclusion is reached
he Centennial will have arrived, and the
Park still be in its present state of glaring
