“The R\dica.l of last week coaid find
room to announce the death of a cow at
Georgetown, and acknowledge the receipt
of some grass “sent by Alex Steen,” but
its editor could not devote a little space
in his paper to telling us why he was se
creily printing tickets last spring for the
whisky men and publiclydenouncing them
and their business, all at the same time.
Conduct of this kind is “unbecoming an
officer and a genilemm.” If Mr. Curtis
denies the bharge we make, let him do so
in bis paper. We are ready to prove all
we aver.” — £rgm.
“The charge a bove made is that we
, were secretly printing tickets last spring
for the whisky men, and publicly de
nouncing them and their business, all at
the same;;'time, The editor of the Argus
says he is ready to prove this charge if
denied. We didn’t consider the matter
worth Noticing at first and only now enter
a denial for the purpose of givitfg the
Argus something to dn So please go
ahead with your oroof. 1 We tremble al
ready for fear of the consequences.”—Rad
ical..
“ilr. Curtis was a member of the cele
brated anti-license committee of last
spring, and in that capacity helped to
manage the campaign against the whisky
interest in the county. Not only that,
but he wrote leader after leader against
the sale of whisky in our midst, and in a
general way thrust himself forward as a
local champion of the temperance cause.
We were among those who had so faith
in bis pretensions, and consequently paid
little or no attention to what he said or
did on the prohibitory question. At that
particular time too, we were privately
notified that while he was demanding
half of the ticket printing from the tem
perance people, he bad made an arrange
ment with the whisky men to get the
whole of their ticket printing from them.
That this is so will be seen from the fol
lowing letter. Read it and then see if
we testified falsely against Mr, Curtis
when we said that be was "secretly print
ing tickets for the whisky men, and pub
licly denouncing them and their business,
all at the same time:
Bridgewater. Pa., Aug. 15, 1873,
Editor Argus— Dear Sir :—Your note
inquiring what I know about the printing
of the tickets for the ‘'whisky men,’’ at
election last spring is at hand. I do not
wish to4>ecome involved in the dispute
between the Argus <*nd Radical about
this matter, but will say that Mr. Charles
Your, who had charge of the. printing for
the Liquor Men’s organizatfbq, sent me
to the Beaver Radical office the
election last spring, and told me to order
6,000 tickets for the use of the organiza
tion at the spring election, and to have
them charged to him (Chas. Your.) I did
as I was requested to do. and in a few
days I went back, got the tickets at tjbe
Radical office, and afterwards Mr Curtis
banded me a bill, of which the following
is a true copy, and asked me to see that he
-got his pay:
Beaver, Pa , March 29,1873
Mr. Charles Tour ,
, To Beaver Radical, Dr.
March 17,1873, to 6,000 tickets $6 00
This bill was paid and is now in the
bands of the auditing committee, ot
which Mr. Beuchler of the Pavilion Ho
tel, Rochester, I believe, was chairman.
At all events it is now in his possession.
Yours truly,
There, Mr. Curtis, is our proof, and
don’t it show that you were tampering
with the great temperance cause—in col
lusion with its eneinies—and putting
yourself in a position to enable yon to
daim the fiiendsbip and’ support of the
whisky men had they succeeded in carry
ing the county at the spring election.
Not only that, but don’t it show that
your word cannot be relied upon '.—Ar
gus.
We should think that any person
with a thimble fulTof brains would
Itnow better than to write the above
Argus editorial, and undertake to
palm it off on sensible people for
sense.
The charge above is that “we se-
cretly printed tickets for the whis
key men and publicly,\at the same
/ time, denounced them and their
business.”. The proof given is a
xoi»y of a bill against Charles Your
for 6,000 tickets for which is charg
ed $6.00, and the assertion by one
N. Lindsey that the bill is paid.
The bill is correct and we ac
knowledge to receiving the money,
bat the proof adduced does" not
touch the animus of the charge,
viz: that we,printed them secretly.
We did no such thing. There was
no need of secrecy, and |t was sim
ply a legitimate business transac
tion. We might with more force
charge that the Beaver Temperance
Committee acted in bad faith in or
dering The Radical and Argus each
to print an equal number of tick
ets for and' against license, and also
in scattering both kinds in abundance
over the county. Was this committee
m
also in league with the whisky men ?
and why did the editor of the Ar
gus print for money a number of
thousands of tickets for license for
this Committee? Does the acute and
conscientious editor of the Argus
claim that it is wrong to print 6,000
tickets for license for the whiskey
men, and right to print the same or
less number of the same kind
for the Temperance Commit
tee, all of which are to be used
tor exactly the same purpose ?
The charge against us, lies with
much more force against the Com
mittee, of which the editof of the
Argus was a member. But there
was no wrong done by either the
Committee or ourselves. We would
like it to be understood that we
keep a first class job printing office
here, and shall be thankful to our
friends for their patronage, agreeing
not to enquire, when they bring in a
job, whether they Attend church or
stay at home, drink beer or water,.,
vote the Republican or Democratic
ticket. We hold that such matters
are outside of our business, and per
tains to other relations and duties.
We shall try to do our work with
dispatch, and in a style to please,
without, at the same time, institut
ing an inquisition into the morals or
habits of our customers.
The editor of the Argus ought to
be ashamed of this* latest attempt
to libel the editor of this paper, and
injure him in the estimation of good
people. The mountain has labored
and brought forth a ridiculous mouse.
1 THE VOBK OF THE CONVENTION.
The unanimity by which the
State Republican nominations is
everywhere received is something
and indicates for the
ticket an easy victory in October:
Not a discordant growl is beard
from any direction to break the
complete harmony of acquiescence
with which Republicans in every
county, borough and city of the
State have received the result of
last week's* convention. This con*)
dition of things is certainly hopeful.
The platform of principles and
policy, which, together with the
proceedings of the convention, may
be found in another column, is fully
up to and abreast the average pro
gress of the masses. ,The principles
are old time-honored and war-tried,
and the same as those upon which
the party was first organized. They
'can never pass out of use, and lie
at the basis of political improve
ment. Party issues may change
yearly, but the great questions that
divide the country are, and ever
will be, such as shall require the
application of the fundamental
principles ot liberty, fraternity and
equality. What party more fitly rep
resents tLese principles than the
Republican ? What party, save it,
has a record in strict conformity to
them ? There is the same organic
connection between the Republican
platforms and its record that there
is between faith and works, and
hence Republicans take a just and
commendable in referring to
the remarkable series of great events
that have been accomplisned by
their party, for this record proves
the sincerity, honesty and purity
of the party, and from which it is
easy to derive hope of future tri
umphs. The platform enunciated
at Harrisburgh is a noble one. It
re-adopts the National and State
platforms of 1872, and endorses the
National and State administrations
which have faithfully adhered to
them and carried out those polices
made necessary by the application
ot their principles to existing facte,
it recognizes the important fact
that the main purpose for which the
Constitutional Convention was

created, was to correct the i abuse of
special legislation,] and; wisely calls
upon the convention to secure this
result by submitting It to a separate
and decisive ] decision of the peo
plel' The Constitutional Conven
tion has undertaken to do too much,
has exceeded the power it derived
from the people, and on account of
this it was hfghly proper that the
Republican party should instruct
it as to will, and en
deavor to aeoure such constitutional
restriction : as ia felt to be necessa
ry to correct existing abases, j
The redaction of the State debt
from $41,00(j,000 tolled,ooo,ooo is
referred to with pride,|jaa well jas the
repeal of State taxes oh real estate,
the establishment of schools for the
support of soldiers’ orphans, and
the maintenance of prosperous pub
lic schools,.for these,with the general
prosperity of the State, are substan
tial evidences that the State needs
no change ot policy or administra
tion, and that thO party which has
been so faithful and wise in the
management of her affairs for the
past twelve years is qualified and
able to hold the reins of power for
some time yet.
Rigid economy, redaction of tax
ation and the extinguishment of the
public debt, State and National,
is sound policy to which the party
is pledged. The declaration that
the public lands belong to the’ peo
ple and should be used for homes
for actual settlers is timely. It is
time to shut down on the railroads
and other corporations-, and keep
the public domain for the equal use
of the whole people. The. recogni
tion that some law is necessary to
protect persons engaged in mining
will be gratifying to the working
men, for it shows that the party is
not unmindful of their interests.
The platform condemns the increase
of salaries and calls for a repeal of
the act, denounces corruption, rec
ommends a tariff so arranged as to
afford both protection and revenue,
demands the enforcement of the
laws to protect life, liberty and free
speech, sympathises with both the
farmers and workingmen in their
efforts to secure for agriculture and
labor their due influence, interests
and rights. Such a platform is
born only of a live party, and indi
cates a healthy condition. It; is
frank, clear and progressive, , it
breathes the spirit of a new era
and animates every Republican
heart. Then the party that pro
mulgates it has a record consistent
with its requirements, and thus
gives assurance of fidelity in the
future.
Rochester, August 12,1878.
Editor Beaver Radical:
Sir .—ln last week’s Radical yon pub
lished a short notice of the Beaver Coun
ty Temperance Union Meeting, held in
the M. E. Church, Rochester, July
12th, which, as a wicked misrepresen
tation of a body of men and their doings,
could hardly be excelled. You charge
them with doing what they certainly did
not do, and affect to scorn them for leav
ing undone the very things they did! In
deed, nearly every statement you made
is literally untrue. As one who was pres
ent, and who can fully establish what I
here assert by simply appealing to the
minutes of said meeting. I ask you to pub
lish this, not as a favor, but in simple
justice to myself and others, whom you
have so unjustly traduced, i
Yours Respectfully,
P. Bramwell.
Our account of the doings of the
Temperance Union, at Rochester,
seems to have given great offense tb'
some of the members of that organ T
ization. It was not very compli
mentary we know, but we supposed
it to be truthful, and if our temper
ance friends will take pains to in
form us exactly wherein we erred,
we shall be most happy to correct
the same. If we had no better tem
per than to fly in a rage at every
misrepresentation by the press, we
would retire from public gaze and
be satisfied with the admiration of
our wife and children.
We have carefully compared our
account with the official report of
said meeting, and cannot' disisdver
wherein we have Misrepresented the
Union in the least. A committee:
was recommended, but we can not
find that such a committee was re
ally appointed, as we suggested
ought to have been done. We
would like to be further enlightened
also in regard to that political edu
cation necessary in the county on
this question of temperance. The
anti-license law' has just become
operative and only needs enforce
ment, which is a simple matter if
men are willing to prosecute the
guilty parties. There is no need of
any farther legislation until three,
years are up, and we can find out
by experience how this Local Op
tion works. A few determined men
dan do more than all the meetings
and conventions that can be held
now,and we again advise dor friends
to keep ah eye single to the work in
band, and let politics alone/ |
otns srm ncxßT.
We take pleasure in putting at
the head of onr columns the names of
Isaac G. Gordon, of Jefferson, for
Supreme Judge, and Robert W.
Mackey, of Allegheny, lor State
Treasurer. % Judge (Jordon is well
known as ah able lawyer and jurist,
and is said to be especially qualified
for a seat upon the Supreme bench
by his connection with many jof the
disputed land titles in the Western
part of the State, and bis familiarity
with the numerous disputes arising
from the oil business, where mil
lions of dollars are involved. Judge
Gordon is a man of unblemished
record and charac
ter, and when elected will not only
be enabled to relieve the other
judges on the bench of much labor,
but will worthily fill the high posi
tion to which he is called by the
will of the people.
Mr. Mackey, the present incum
bent, received perhaps, the strongest
and heartiest endorsement of his
administration of the State finances
that’was ever before given by any
party to a similar public servant,
being an almost unanimous nomi
nation on first ballot, eighteen com
plimentary votes being cast for Hon.
Samuel Henry. Mr. Mackey’s nom
ination was really won last Fall in
the sweeping triumph of Governor
Hartranft’s election. His qualifica
tions for the position have been
thoroughly established by the ac
ceptable and successful manner in
which he has succeeded in reducing
annually the State debt $2,000,000,
and at the same time repealing all
laws imposing taxes 6n real estate.
Results of this character please the
tax payers, and Mr. Mackey Will
be endorsed next October at
ballot box as heartily as he pvas in
the State Convention at Harrisburg.
The Republican party in the State
is organized by a skillful leader; it
is harmonious, strong and confidant;
but it has no foe worthy of its steel.
The Democracy is decaying; its
locks are white, its limbs enfeebled,
and the super human effort it is
now making to seem young reminds
one of the miserable dotage of an
old man.
Hon. William M. Meredith,
President of the present Constitu
tional Convention!died on Sunday
the 11th inst., aged seventy-seven,
years. Mr. Meredith wajs an emi
nent and distinguished l man,' and
had reached the top-most round of a
laudable ambition. His name will
long be remembered as one of Penn
sylvania's most honored sons, and
his fame survive to coming genera
tions. He was admitted to the bar
in 1817, and attained the foremost
rank in his professio|i. From 1 824
to 1828 he served in* the State Leg
islature, and was President of the
Select Council of Philadelphia from
1834 to 1839. In 1849 President
Taylor made him Secretary of the
Treasury. He was President of the
first Convention to .amend the State
Constitution, and at the time of his
death held the same honorable po
sition in the second Constitutional
Convention. In 1861 he was ap
pointed Attorney .General by Gov
ernor Curtin, and served the State
in that capacity till the close of
the Governor's second term in 1867.
His death is an event of more than
ordinary importance, and not only
his beloved Commonwealth but the
whole nation will- mourn the loss of
a citizen of such solid integrity,
great ability and splendid accom
plishments as a gentleman, scholar,
and statesman.

the fact that the Democrats are compelled
to incorporate Republican doctrines into

aa their only hope of achieving political
success anywhere. But Republicans have
the advantage of having first set the ex
ample of nominating honest men for of

while their principles are right and safe
in all emerge*"ies.

—The Chester Republican , io an edito
rial on the State Convention, says: Hod.
Isaac Gordon, of Jefferson county, wtfs
nominated for Jpdge of the Supreme
Court, on the tenth ballot, and R. W.
Mackey, of Allegheny county for State
Treasurer. The nomination of Mr. Gor
don is a surprise to all the professed polh
ticians of the State. The unapproachable
integrity of Judge Butler rendered him
the especial target of the members of the
Philadelphia Ring and its adjuncts else
where. Col. William B. Mann and his
allies, announced their edict early in the
campaign, that Judge £. M. Paxson, of
that city, was the chosen candidate, and
wherever the influence of these men could
reach, the State was dragooned into the
support of their candidate. We are in
formed that their conduct at Harrisburg
was defiant, and that every who stood
in their way was threatened with
political ostracism for years to come. The
result of the Convention is a rebuke
w hich these men did not expect, and if
there is any one thing in the proceedings
gratifying to those who desired honesty
and fair dealing in politics, it is the rep
remand which the Ringstera received in
the nomination of Mr. Gordon. They
brought him out to defeat Judge Butler
and were themselves defeated. The Del
egates from this District voted on every
ballot for Judge Butler, and thus acted in
full accord with the wishes of their con
stituents.
—The Cleveland Leader is unkind
enough to revive an old story about Me*
jof standard bearer of thp Ohio
resurrectionists. Il seems that in 1840,
when General v Harrison was running as
the Whig candidate for the Presidency,
the Major circulated a little fiction to the
effect that Harrison had shown the whi|o
feather at (the battle* of Tippecanoe. F° rl
Meigs and the Thames; The l‘dtes 0
Chillicotbe presented a petticoat to the
Major as a symbol of their appreciation
of him and his slander, and the sobriqu
of “Petticoat Allen” was fastened upon
him for the campaign. As the Democrat'
ic party are discussing a change of name
for the next Presdentiali campaign,,we
suggest “Petticoat party;” and poor Mr.
Davis would be the most 1 suitable g™‘
father for the new christening.
