PuiLADETLPALA, ', Jan, L—In the deathof Robert W. Mackey, which occurred hers to-day, the Cameron dynasty loses its very hackbone,~ or, as some would eay, its brains. Col, Alexan- der BcClure, Bimon Cameron's stoutest oppo- nent, remarka that, of the men who have di- rected the Republican party in Pennsylvania during the last decade, Cameron s the most Napoleonic in exccutiog 8 planned campairn, and Quay fs the most fertile and eagaclous.in Lonceptlon, but Mackey was ereat in all the qualitics In which his associates cxeelled, and excelled them in the ccaseless offices which "“keep o party in lne,” 1s and out of reason, Mackey was only 41 years of age, snd las been for twenty years a sufferer frum Juue dis- case, e was a Plttsburr boy, and the esrly years of his manhood were passed in a bankiug- house. Quay, then ps mow Cameron's nc- knowledged mausger, took him out of tho Pittsburg City Couucil and made him the Ree publican candidate for State Treasurer in 1869, and, although comparatively unkown, he was elected. In 1870 he was a candldate for ro- clection, bat was defeated by Irwin, the candi- date of the Demourats and boltlug Republicans under the lead of ex-Senator Anderson, an O Prioce. Mackey subsequently made nxhaustive eflurts to save Anderson from bankruptey whcn the revulsion in the oll trade came around, and assuned large losses of Blate devosits made for the benetit of his uld enemy and later friend. 1In 1871, aud agaln in 1873, Mackey was clocted State Tressurcr by the Legislature, snd, by reason of adefest In tho smendment to the Constitutlon, he held over in 1878 without hav- fox to ran the gauntlet of the Leglslature. In 1873 he wes reclected by a popular vote of over 10,000 majority. As the Consutution made him {neligivle to n succeceding term, ko retired in May, 1870, after having presided over the Treasury six years, and dono more to mold the financial policy of the State than any otlier one who preceded or followed him, e loeated In Philadelplia, and sceépted the Prestdency of the Coutlnental Rallway Cowmvany. Mr. Kemble bad developed and partially carried nto effect bis theary of funding the 1oans and -transfers ting all taxation for real eatate ta corporations and specnlative intercsts, and Mackey followed 1t out to its consummation. Tha Times says: No revenue messnre has boen. enncted- during the last ten vears tlat did not emanate from or that was not Onsily roviewed by Kemble and Mackey, “and toe prescut financlal polley of the Hiate is very largely of their creation. Mackey was a born flunncler, He wan a walking machine of fignrework, conpled with great breadth of campretenslon, n most intimato knowledio of all the nutional intereets of tho biate, and thy high- cot mensure of self-rellunce and conrage 1o exo- cute hls plane when imutured. 1t is as o polte ticlan, haiverer, that Mackey waa most intuentlal.
