Its Methods Dlisec·ed by a Pennsylvanla Orator-W-hy Don Should Not Be Re turned to the ienate-Some of tile Leadlng; Episodes In Old Slmon's Po litical Career. NEw YORK. Oct. 20.-A I or,lt special from Lancaster. Pa., says: O()n of the most noticea ble incidents of the Ponnsylvania politi'al earn paign occurrad here to-light. Dan'1 Dougherty, Philadelphia's famous orator, who has not taken any ac'ive part in politics for years, spoke in Fealton flaIl. which was packed with tetoole, on "Why shOlldl Don Cameron be United States Senator." He regarded this as the vital issue ,.f the State enampain, and one directly involved in the election of State officers and the Legialature. Iit reviewed Don Came ron's car'eer and fa;lled to find in it any reason for the bestowal upon him of this high honor of a great cimmouw'alti. lie had no fitness for it. deserved it by no merit of himnself or family. had rendered no valuat ,Il service to the nation or his fellow-citizn.s, and was only Senator now and oexe,n'ted to be re-elected again by reason of the enotrmouls political Ilfluence of his father, acquiredi In a long career of villainy, bribery and systemaitn! corruption, beginning with his fraud upon the Winuebagoes, Mr. Dougherty took upD very act of Simon Cameron's public career. his bribery of the Legislature in 1i.t to beat Judge Woodward for the State, his purch ise of three Democrats to boat Forney in 1857. his corrupt practices in tilhe War Department. his attempt to ,rith a Demo cratic benator in It;1 to beat Buckalew, his r.e election in 1tls; and 1872 by similar means, his bulldozing of Grant to make Don Secretary of War, his trancmission of his Senatorial seat to his son, and his demand upon IIayes for the English mission. IHe cited hoeublican author ities and official records to prove all he said, and brought town the house again anid lgain by quotlnag froul Wn. D. rKelly's anti-Cameron letter of lola. in which he spoke of Camerop's "long career ;if "rinlm," his "buzzard-winged i fame." his "einfamy and disgrace," end said that though no st5n iu migt mark his (Kellyh') poor remains his chiliren could vindicate his name by pointing to the fact that Cameron was ever hostile to him, and yet within twelve years Kelly headed the delegation which asked for Don Cameron's Cabinet appointment, and again crowded to tlhe Fecutive chamber and besought the English mission for old Simon. In conclusion, Ir. Dougherty urged the peo Die of his State to wipe from the escutcheon of their commonwealth, "the disgrace of Camer onism." Coming from a man who is no politician, and has no favors to ask from any party, Mr. Dougherty's speech will command great atten tion and influence in the Htate campaign, and will direct general attention to the danger of Don Camoron's re-election if a Republican Leg islature be chosen. The speaker was especially severe on Don Cameron's share in the Electoral Commission bill. A TALK WITH EWING,. HIls Opinion of thie Result in Ohio-A Pop ular Inlorsement of the "Idea"-Why Industries Are Depressed and Trade LanguisLes-Probability of Rtesump. tion. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-An interviewwith Rep resentative Tom Ewing, of Ohio is published to-day. In reply to an inquiry if t he thought the Greenback movement was subsdcling, (en. Ew ing said: "The idea Is preposterous; the move ment is gathering force and -volume every day. The oppositrion to resumption and bank money oarried Indiana by 45,00o and Ohio by about 85,0oo, and gained eleven Congressmen in the Fleptember and October eleetions, Does that look like subsiding ?" Quetion-D ou rerd the rsult in 0io Answer- t wa a emocotte gin oa three OongreeamOn and the loan of the Stateticket by about one-half the plurality by whhlowe lost it' in 1870 whenwe had the last fullvote. It was not, however. an emphatic indorsement of the "Ohio idea," the supporters of which were, unfortunately, divided, and hence lost several Congressmen and the Bate ticket, which, had they been united, they would have won. Q.-What Influ-nco do you think the National movement will have on the fortunes of the old parties ? A.-I think and hope It will cause a recast of the two great parties. The Republican party is and will oirtainly remain the party of forced resumption and-bank money. Three-fourths of the )Democratic party is already committedt to the reentl of the rtsumption scheme and the substitution of greenbacks for bank notes, T'hese are the foremost and vital llsoestions of the lday. No shuffling evasions of tih issues will he tolerated by the pcople in either leaders or platforms. Both parties must moot thems honestly and squarely, Hence remonbank and anti-resumption Rlepublicans will come to us, and bank money and forced resumption Demo crats will go to them. The National movement, I think, will precipitate this result; but if the Domocracy should attempt to go on as the party of the eopleo in bth West it will lose its grand d opportunlty. The National party will thin grow formidable and the division which lost us Ohio will lose use t e next Presidential election,.or give at hst a more chan'e of throwing the election in the House. Q.-What will follow this resumption, and will we have a let up or a further continued do cline in valuables? A.--Resumption can only he malnalneed by the continued low price of land. labor and pro ducts. and the continued poverty of the masses. We are subject to a drain of not less than $200, c000r.O00 each year to Europe. to pay interest on ehnds aLl mortgages and expen-P.s of fortin travel and of foruign shipping. This has boeen paid by us heretofore very la,' ly in gold. casts iig a constant drain of our precious metals to Eulrope. This (ritin must be purmanently stoppedl before resumption can be establlshed., The resumption law has for a time stopped the drain, but, it has destroyed at least one-third of our home market by impoverishing the masses, and has broken down wages to panlteor prices ; so that the values of our broad- u atuffs and manufactures have fallen so low that they are taken abroad in largely increased lquantities, while our power to buy tea, coffee, sugar and other foreign articles of necessity or luxury is vastly diminished. so that through the falling off of imports and the increase of ex ports the balance of the merchandise trade ist largely in our favor. and the shipmuent of coin abroad to pay indebtedness and expenditures is nearly stopped. In short, I think the re sumption scheme is bound to wait thereby a renewal of the drain of gold through an im provement of prices, or by the popular dis content, which will grow in force so long as hard "times continue. Tihe Democratic Convention of St. Louis An Unsatisfactory Result. ST. LouIs. Oct. 2.--The work of nominating a citiy ticket Iv esach of the three tparties is over and politicians are in as great ia dilemma as theywewre previous to placing their eandidlates In the field It proves now that the Democratic pLrmaries were in almost every ward conlluet ed by fraud and in some instances the ballot boxes were changed. and other boxes stuff(hed with a requisite number of votes to elect the desired candidates to the convention. In some instances there were more votes cast in eicrtain pre:incts thaln there were voters in the ward.

Niew YonK, OCT, 2.--Atong the passenuers on the steamshio l'ritannic, for Livwe'pool, yes terday, was James Gordon tn nett. A large party of friends was on the pier to see him ofT. This morning a I'ontfl:cal Mass was celtbrated at St. Theresa's Roman Catholio Churi.h, the occasion being the fraternal feast of th, Church. The celebrant was the Rev. Monsigneur Talbre. Bishop of Montreal. Canada, and his assistants were the Rev. Father Pendegrast, of Middletown. New York. the IRev. Jas. Power, the Rev. Peter Farrell, and the Reov, A. Valves, of lMontreal. The church was crowded to overflowing and the music, which was principally composed for the occasion, was well rendered. This morning the police of Yonkers found the dead body of a man in the woods near that place in an advanced state of decomposition, and from papers found on his body he is sup posed to be John M. Symes, a native of Bristol, England. How the man came by his death is a mystery. The case is being investigated. At 9 o clock this morning the police found an unknown man respectably attired in a black suit, and who is about twenty-five years of age. lying unconscious on the sidewalk corner of Twenty-seventh street and Fourth Avenue,. with a deep cut in his throat. Whether the wound was self-inflietod. or whether it was done by some unknown person, has not yet been ascertained. -- yo-.C-· The Indian Commission on its Travels Its Impression of some of the Tribes.

GIJSON. THE NEXT REPRESENTATIVE FROM TIE FIRST DISTRICT. His Labors for the State In the Last and Present Congresses-Why He Enter tained Relations With John Sherman --Hlls tanding Among His Colleagues. [Special Correspondence of the Democrat.] WASHIINmTON, October 16, 1878. Some time ago a well known and honored Democratic gentleman from New Orleans called upon me to say among other things that IGEN. RANDALL 0GI5SON had prepared and was about to circulate among his constituents an address, setting forth the reasons why he should be re-elected to Congress. Also to suggest to me the propriety of review ing to some extent Gen. Gibson's Congressional services. To this latter suggestion, of course, I responded favorably at once, saying that if by writing a letter or a series of letters in behalf of 3on. Giblon I could do anything to insure his act Would ' mre'.Iessure. "Indeed." said the gentlemal; "well, then, I must toll you that some things you havo writ ten for the DEMocaAT in the past concerning the General are now being used against him. and my suggestion was made with a view to having you try to dispol any impressions you may heretofore have created." I said that I had never had the remotest idea of injuring Gen. Gibson; that I could not re nember criticising him or his actions In any manner but once, and that was touching his porsonal relations with John Sherman. On that score I hal simply said that while, as a rule, political dlfferences should not be per niltted to affect personal relations, still, inas much as John Sherman was regarded by a vast majority of the Democrats of Louisiana as lit le, If any, better than a common felon, It was hardly irn koeping for A DITIOGCRATIC I.i'ItEENTATIVE OF TOUISIANA to sustain anything beyond the most unavoid tble official relations with him in the Cabinet position he had received from the fraudulent I'resident as a reward for his crimes against the representativo's constituents! That was all. The relations between Gen. Gibson and John Hhrmlan were Iprhaps the product of accident. When the General came hero for his first term he tookt whatt is known as the old Stanton house in Franklin Square, and that house haprened to adjoin the residence of John Sherman. Now, John is a shifry, provident follow, and is always watching his chance to get his hook in whore it will do the mlost good, immedllately or pros tectively. Accordingly, observing that Gen. Glbson was a rising uman, and likely to attain niarked it fllonce in the House of IRepresenta tives..olh, who was then a Senator, assidu ously cultivated the acquaintanen of his neigh hor. and sought to make himself master of his conftldence. Gen. Gibson, little suspecting that lo wse entertaining a villain in disguise, and making friends with a man who was subso quently to flgure In Infiamy as TIlE THIEF OF THE ELECTORAL VOTE of his own State, naturally enough treated Sher man with hospitality and allowed that lehan, lank, reptilian intriguant to insinuate himself into his confidence. This went on unth one day the telegrams from New Orleans brought the Intelligence that two forgeres and perjurers whom Sherman was believed to have suborned had been Indicted, and that Sherman himself was on the rack of inquisiltion in the grand jury room. Thn it wais stated about town here by Sherman's strikers, without reserve, that Gen. Gibson's influence in Louisiana would be ex erted to prevent their master's indictment and to nld- thir, master's- .acempldees 9peoping the toils of the law. Of course, no sane person believed such a preposterous statement concerning Gen. Gi, son, who, whatever may be his foibles of air annd manner, Is witthal a gentleman, and a man of the nicest sense of personal honor, both lublic and private. All I did in the premises was to point out-and that mnore partieularly in the Posl, of this city, than in thle DE.oocnAr that no gentleman in Gon. Gibson's position could afford to maintain any relations whatso ever with a person of the odor of John Sher man. Shortly after these scandals were first bruited Gen. Gibson embraced an occasion which presented Itself to set himself right in A PI'ERSONAL EXPLANATION on the floor of thie Iuse. It turned out, as everybody who knew him knew it would turn out, that lien. Gibson had booeen maligned by the ldastalrdly bumrnmers who go about Washiington doing John Sherman's blowing and striking for hitm, and thure the matter dropped. It must not Ihe forgottin, however, in any due consideratlon of these matters, ti it in the early days of the Fraudulent Administration, the Denmocratic roprsertatives of Louisiana oceu pid it position if vast diffllculty and extreme delicacy. O(wing to thecowardly collapse of the Gramercy Park Coterir in the momrent of ap parent danger, our representatives foiund them selves in a rmeaslure cornmprolled to make terms with the persons who had stolon the P'resideney, or rather to se, to the fulfillment of terms which had been made brforreiand, as so much sw;vcrl from the wreck of the fight after our NSw York claders had raised their dastardly cry of sware qri prI. In tihe dilchargL of these dellate and difficult du ties. Gen. Gibtonr bore it fair ,'ndl honorable share along with his colleaguer , Col. Levy and .John Ellis. NeDrher he nor th y were reslon sible for the dismal firasco which had thrown thom into such grotesque relations with a frauruluert President. and his Cabinet. They had no option but to accept the fail. anrm.,,pli Of frrLaud as it stood, and make the best terms they could for the very existence of the Common-. wealth they represented. S, far, and no far ther, Gen. Gibson has sustained public reia tions wish tihe Administration whose tenure Is larreny and whose power is based upon subor nation of perjury tind forgery. I now come to the pleasanter task of describ ing GEN. GIrSON'S STATUS IN TIIE HIOUSE as a legisla' or and before the nation as a repre sentative Deimocrat. Like nearly all men who deal habitually with large affairs, and much of whose time, is splalt in close study and deep re floction, Gen. Gibson is not as pleasing In his manners upon casual acqluaintance as some men alre who devote themselves to society andi engross their minds with fashion. He is rather rr.elusive in his ways, and is, perhaps, a triflir too reotive uwler the operation of being bored to be altogether popular. At all even's, I have nver., known him to waste his time trying to .r 'rre a plaee under the Doorkeeper or In the folding-room of the tHouse for any and every seedy rapscallion who might claim to be able to control a couple of votes in his district; where in hi diff-rs -I am sorry to say-from a great many of his colleagues. , But whenever the collective interests of his constituency or of his State have been at stake, either in Congress or out of it, I LAVE NEYER FAILED TO FIND GEN. OIBSON ON HAND, early and late. laboring with ability and with a fair proportion of success. It has been urged against him that he voted for Sam Rlandall for Speaker, thereby bringinng about, or contribut ing to bring about, the defeat of some of tile legislation most cherished by his constituents. But that should not be considered. Sam Ran dall deceived and bhrrayed Gen. Gibson, as he did every other Mississippi valley man who trusted him or vte.d tor him; and I think I can safely guarantee that Randall will never fool him-or anybody el-e for that matter-again. Moreover, Gen. Gibson iii this respect has distingistiguished cnony: r, for example. Wad (dll of North Cairlina. Casey Young of Ten nessee. Throckerrorton of 'texas, and the gal lant Chalmers of Mississiippi. So much for the personal aspects of G(n. Gibson's candidacy for re-election. Now for the political considera tions involved in it. To biegin with, I should suppose that if there was a State in this Union into the ,roeasts of whose Dooupl, thl. desire for a restoration of constituti.,nal government and THE OVEEIREIGNTY OF FIV3IOCCLACY should be ingrained, that Saure ought to be Louisirana. Leant of all should I imagine that the people of Louisiana n:ould prefer the at torney of the Returning Board to a constittu tional Democrat like Gen. Gibson for their rep resentative. Whatever Gen. Gibson may ne.c he, one thing he certainly is; he is a Democrat of that unconiquerable and inflesible type of De mocracy which fought for the const;'utlon and the rights of man in Louisiana for ten years against all the odat that crime at home, backed up by cruelty at Washington, could bring to bear, and finally rescued the State from NIOGEI(RIM .D CARP'ET7-BAGO(GER out of the very .jaws af a national disaster. That alone ought to sett'P the question as between him and the reputed amiable gentleman who owes his first lift from utter obscurity-at this distance anyhow-to the cireamstance of his professional connection with the most atro cious infamy that ever befouled the annals of any State or commurtly in the Union-the escape of the Iioturnin Board felons from the g' ip of iustice.
