Wishing to retire, wishing his son to a icceed him, recognizing the robust growth of an anti-Cameron sentiment in the state, the elder man presented his )'pe}g!Hition to the president of the senate one 8atiuila> in JJj77 after the legislature at Ilarrisburg had adjourned to meet on Monday. Most of the members were out of the city, and most of them in Philadelphia. Gob Maekey was where he was most needed, and it was all arranged that Don should tni elected 0n Monday, as soon as the legislative was called to order and before tlie antiCameron element of the state could Icani of the resignation of tlio old senator. Tie re were 20 Republicans in the house and senate who would have voted with the Democrats for any acceptable independent Republican, but the Deni ocrats preferred a Cameron lo a tin it way man, and J Km was elected by a party vote. (jaiueron and < jaay arc dirctly credited with the defeat of tlie last federal elections bill. They agreed to accomplish its gentle though lingering death if the Democrats would ix-rmit the tariff measure of lStH) to come to a vote. The tariff bill was passed and the elections hill defcred to the next election, when it calmly glided into the sphere where tin re was no hope of resurrection.

" Lieutenant McClellan," said h.'. 'I fear that in our meeting just now 1 was discourteous in tone or manner, and have conic to express; to you the regret which, under the circumstances;, a gentleman should.' "I assured him that it was all rigid and with a salute and a low how. which I feelingly returned, he rode away, leaving put lost in admiration, of a superior jilicer who could so promptly and generously repair an error.''
