Pennsylvania Correspondence,
Rlnn rs. Parties—The Presidential Out-
look.
Licionier Valley, Pa., )
Sept. 15,1879. j
Editor Courier—All political par-
a have, from their earliest history,
been afflicted with rings, cliques and
combinations. These rings owe their
origin to two or three circumstances,
and have, doubtless, several objects in
view, prominent among which is the
dividing up and ultimate overthrow of
the organisation with which they are
identified. The Republican party con-
tains rings; the Greenback party con
tains rings, and, although the confes
sion is an exceedingly humiliating .one,
and one we are pained to make, the
Democratic party contains them also.
The number of issues involved in all
political canvasses has, we think, some
thing to do with the formation of rings;
and there never was a political ring in
existence that would hesitate for a mo
ment if the alternative were presented
to either carry a point or burst a party.
Indeed the latter alternative seems to
constitute the chief mission of every
fing, And it matters not what may be
the number of issues involved in apo
litical campaign, there are always can-
dates enough to represent and advocate
each issue, and as all candidates have
their friends, hence the ring, which are
otfirat mete squads, but which finally
fise to the dignity of organizations and
eventually seek to overthrow the parties
with which they are identified and
whose name they bear. If there is
anything in existence that needs “bust
in'" ami that promptly and thorough
ly. it is a political ring. And if our
party was free from them we would
have a great deal more room to talk
He have often wondered why it was
that even the Democratic party, cele-
“fated as it is for sound principles and
sound patriotism, should contain sui
cidal elements. To prove the above
preposition to be correct, nothing more
's necessary thau a glance at the state

principles rather than men. If the
Democratic party needs anything it
needs to be rid of these vampires who
are engaged in extracting its life-blood.
The triumph of sound Democratic prin
ciples !b what we are after, and that
triumph can never be achieved while
our party contains elements at war
with such principles. Charity beginB
at home, and hence, if our party is thor
oughly purged, that is about all we
need care for. It mattors not to us—
indeed it is rather in our favor—if the
parties opposed to us are all rings. If
so, all the better for us; but let us take
care of the Democratic party. Now is
the time to work. This time next year
will be too late. What we are contend
ing for is worth a struggle. Our oppo
sition, by whatever name it may be
known, or whether within our own
ranks or without, must be hunted
down and crushed. Whatever is op
posed to Democratic principles is op
posed also to Democratic success, and
whatever is opposed to Democratic suc
cess is opposed to the best interests of
the country—self-government and civil
liberty included. Hence, whatever
stands in the way of Democratic suc
cess must be promptly and thoroughly
removed. The track must be cleared
and the way opened for a successful
race.
And now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion,
permit a word in regard to the Presi
dential outlook. It is more or less flat
tering. The Democratic race for the
nomination will in all probability lie
between Tilden and Thurman, especial
ly, as seems quite probable, if General
Ewing carries Ohio. If tho latter car
ries that State we oan see nothing to
prevent the availability of Thurman,
who is probably more popular with a
majority of the Demooratic party than
Tilden, and our argument is that who
ever is most popular is most available.
And at this juncture, taking all the
facta into account, and considering our
great desire for Democratic success, we
are almost ready to adopt the tactics of
the enemy, and look to availability
alone. Our idea, however, that the
greatest amount of popularity creates
the greatest amount of availability, will
not bo found to be an infalible rule.
For instance in the event of a Demo
cratic defeat in Ohio this fall, Tilden,
although less popular than /Thurman,
would become more available. How
ever, let us be true to ourselves, and a
Democratic triumph is certain.
Keystone
Mr. Develin, a very prominent Dem
ocrat and an ex-Sachem TammaDy, was
asked by a reporter of the New York
World if he believed the Tammany
ticket will receive many votes. He re
plied ns follows:
“I certainly do not. Thero is one fact
which the gentlemen who have bolted
from the regular Democratic party and
now ask public support in the interest
of the Republican party seem to have
overlooked. One of the features of the
Republican platform as adopted at Sara
toga was the indorsement of the right
of national interference in State elec
tions ; in other words, the indorsement
of Davenport and his Marshals. Now,
if there is any one set of voters who are
more interested in this question than
another, they are the foreign-born citi
zens of New’York city. General Gar
field, in his upeech in the West, dis
tinctly announced that Federal inter
ference was necessary to maintain the
purity of elections in New York State
—an open declaration that the Repub-
licans mean to stand by Johnny Daven
port and his measures. The foreign-
born inhabitants of New York, as I
said before, are interested in this sub
ject. They are probably more interest
ed in it than any other question at pres
ent connected with polities. Now the
foreign-born inhabitants of New York
happen to be the class upon which John
Kelly depends chiefly for support.
Does he suppose, does Tammany Hall
suppose that these voters, when they
come to understand that voting for Mr.
Kelly means substantially indorsing
and supporting this obnoxious Repub
lican platform, are going to walk up
meekly to the polls and elect Mr.
Cornell? The idea is preposterous.
Matrimonial fairs are still kept up i
the South of Ireland, where all the Iik-
ly boys and girls” in the parish are on
view, and all the “matches” in the year
are made. Four days before there is
quite a stir in the neighborhood, and a
twitter runs through the entire
population. There is aumversalBtitching
and a buying of ribbons; every girl you
meet on the road holds out her hand for
six pence, and you cant speak to a do
mestic servant without her hanging out
signals of distress. On the day of the
“Shroffing” the girls stand in a row on
the village green, while “the^boya na
The Chinese in New York
A Knpiil increase in the Almond-Eyed
Immigrants.
The census taken in 1875 showed the
entire Chinese population in New York
city to be 157, all males, but the Her
ald says the census of 1880 will tell a
different tale. Then the Chinese were
scattered here and there throughout the
city; now headquarters have been estab
lished in Mott street, which has as
sumed the dimensions of a good sized
colony. At the present time there are
in New York over three hundred Chi
nese laudries, fifty groceries, twenty to
bacco stores, ten drug stores, six restau
rants, and a variety of other establish
ments. Over seventy-five have gone
into domestic service. In Jersey City
there are three factories which employ
Chinese labor alone. One of these is a
shirt factory, another is a shoe faotory,
and the last is an establishmen for the
manufacture of cheap outlery. It is
said that a beer saloon has been opened
in Hoboken by two Chinamen. In
Brooklyn there are about fifty laundries,
six cigar stores and one grocery. From
statistics furnished by the most intelli
gent and best informed of these people
the population of New York has re
ceived an addition of upwards of two
thousand five hundred, inoluding two
females. Tbs Chinese residents of
Brooklyn number over two hundred
and fifty male and two females. Jersey
City and Hoboken boast about two
hundred. About ten per cent, of these
arrived in the city from Havana, the
rest came overland from California.
Over ninety-five per cent, of the total
Chinese population are regularly en
gaged in some honorable business. For
the benefit of this thrifty community
three Bohools are maintained by pri
vate charity. Nearly a hundred adults
and children attend these institutions,
and their record as to aptness and intel
ligence is very favorable.
The St. Louis Republican, in an arti
cle on Tilden and Tammany, says:
The New York Republican journals
are endeavoring to manufacture a great
deal of political capital out of the Tam
many bolt. They represent it as a split
of tremendous importance, which de
stroys all possibility of a Democratic
victory, and that Mr. Tilden’s inability
to prevent it exhibits his declining pow
er. All this ia mere misrepresentation
for political effect. The faot is that
Mr. Tilden and Tammany Hall have
long been in antagonism. He repre
sents the refusal of the Democracy of
the State to be dictated to by that or
ganization. He acquired his distinc
tion in New York politics years ago by
throwing the gauntlet down to the
Tweed-Tammany leaders and darine
them to do their worst. The principal
element in his fame is his independence
of their friendship, and that all through
his career he has fought their political
schemes, exposed the abominable cor
ruptions which characterized their man'
agement and denounced their preten
sions. He made no attempt to control
their action at Syracuse. He and his
friends met them once more in square
fight and defeated them, as they had
often done before. This is the true as
pect of the case, and, instead of illus
trating a decline in his political influ
ence, it shows that it is as powerful as
it ever was.
The Detroit Free Press has very
cleverly amended Senator Blaine’s tele
gram to Senator Allison on the night of
the Maine election. It says that
Blaine’s dispatch should read as fol
lows:
“In a State which gave at the Presi
dential election of 1868 a Republican
majority of 28,000 in a total vote of
112,000—a majority equivalent to 250,-
000 in New York, which in 1872, in a
total vote of 90,000 gave a Republican
majority of 32,000—equivalent to over
230,000 in Ohio, whioh in 1876, in a to
tal vote of 116,000, gave a Republican
majority of 16,000—equivalent to 110,-
000 in Pennsylvania, the Republicans
this year lack about 2,500 of receiving
a majority of the popular vote. It is a
terrible disappointment to me, and I
fear that my Presidential prospects will
be greatly impaired, owing to the ina
bility of the Republicans, after an un-
paralled expenditure of money, to se
cure an absolute majority of the popu
lar vote in Maine.”
A Washington special says: Nine
hundred tons of standard silver dollars
are stored in the treasury. The amount
increased last month, notwithstanding
the payment of one-tenth of the current
expenses of the Government in silver.
Over $30,678,000 were stored in the
vaults September 1.
The Times’ speoial Bays: Contractors
hove been paying their workmen in
silver, which, with the amount paid out
by the Government, has put such an
abundance of silver in circulation ns to
cause some of the most extreme silver
advocates to oomplain of the overflow.
