W. GREEN, ESIJ.
1 REPUBLICAN DELEGATE-AT-LARGE TO
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
The Republicans of Cameron county j
have been highly honored by the Re- j
publican State Convention, by naming j
! our distinguished townsman, Mr. B.
W. Green, as one of the Delegates-at-
Large to the National Convention to
meet in Philadelphia next Tuesday to
j place in nomination a ticket that will
represent the sentiment of a majority j
of the American people and receive |
their ballots in November next. Penn- j
sylvania will have eight Delegates-at
l.arge consisting of M. S. Quay, James
Rlverson, Chas. A. Porter, Jno. B.
Steel, Frank Reeder, William Council,
li. W. Green and John Leisenring.
B. W. Green was born near Mansfield,
i Tioga county, Pa., and passed his early
: days upon a farm. In the first year
| of the organization of the Mansfield
j Normal School he entered that institu
' tion and under the instruction of Prof.
[ F. A. Allen graduated in 1868, after a
I three years' course. For a period of
| one year after graduating he taught
i in the schools of Tioga county, coming
to Emporium in 1869, (where he at
tained his majority and cast his first
vote), to accept the prineipalship of
| the Emporium schools, which position
j he acceptably filled for a term of two
! years. At this time, 1871 and 1872, he
j was appointed acting Sheriff of Came
| ron county and entered the law office
j of Hon. J. ('. Johnson, as a student.
1 Nov. 1872 In; was admitted to the bar
; of this county, being the first student j
| admitted to tiic courts of Cameron. '
; He at once actively engaged in the
! practice of his chosen profession, form
ing, in 1574, a partnership with the late
' J. B. Newton, under the firm name of
; Newton & Green and continued a j
member of said firm until the death of
Mr. Newton. I\lr. Green is at present |
j the senior member of the law firm of j
I Green & Shaffer and enjoys a wide ac-;
j quaintaricc and large practice in the j
' courts of this and adjoining counties,
! also in the U. S. Courts of the state.
! He is solicitor for a number of import-1
| ant institutions,corporations and man
i ufactories. In addition to being Sheriff
| of this county lie has been elected
I Chairman of the Republican County
Committee several terms; was delegate
' to Republican State Convention both
times when Gen'l James A. Beaver was
nominated for Governor, in 1882 and
18S6; was elected County Treasurer in
3830 for a term of three years, by the
second largest majority ever given to
any candidate in this county; was
1 elected Delegate to the Constitutional
| Convention in 1871, to represent the
j counties of Cameron, Forest, Elk and
I Clarion. In 1898 he was the choice of
this county for President Judge, but
gave way to the sentiment in favor of
the unanimous election of Judge May
er. r>ir. Green is a cordial supporter j
of President McKinley's policy and as I
Chairman of the Republican County
I Committee will make an energetic
I canvass of this county. Asa Republi
can Mr. Green has always been allied
j with the regular organization since his
I majority and, with one or two excep
: tions in county matters, always stood
|by the nominations of his party. He
is honorable in his dealings with men,
j a good citizen and a true friend to his
j friends.

CAPT. CHARLES F, BARCIAV.
ALTERNATE DELEGATE-AT-LAHGE
THE REPUBLICAN NATION
VENTION, JUNE J ' ROOT).
For the first time in the history of
Cameron county has our little county
been accorded recognition at the hands
of the Republicans of Pennsylvania.
At the Republican State Convention
held in the city of Harrisburg, April
18th, 1900, the resolution or recommen
dation of the Congressional Convention j
of this district was unanimously ac- ]
cepted and the subject of this article
elected as oneof the alternate delegates
at-large to meet in Philadelphia next
Tuesday, to "place in nomination that
gallant soldier and spotless statesman,
Hon. William McKinley, for President
of the Greater United States, and an
equally as prominent a citizen for Vice-
President. This is an honor seldom
accorded to a citizen walking in the
humble walks of life and all who are
called by the greatest and grandest
party of centuries should and do ap
preciate the honor.
While the readers of the PRESS, and
all citizens generally, are intimately
acquainted with Mr. Barclay, yet they,
as well as ourselves have known little
of the antecedents of this busy gentle
man. We have taken some time and
gathered a few facts that, at some fu
ture time, may aid in the history of
our county.
CAPT. CHARLES F. BARCLAY is a lin
eal descendent of King James I, of
England. The Barclay family is one
of the oldest and best known in Amer
ica and has intermarried with it the
Livingstons, Robinsons, Stuyvesants,
Schttylers and many old New York
houses—plain American citizens who
have in their veins the blood of Will
iam the Conqueror, which is more than
Queen Victoria can say, for she has not
a drop of English blood in her veins.
John Barclay came to America in 1731,
as Governor of East Jersey, and set
tled at Perth Amboy. On his mother's
side he traces his ancestory to the Al
iens of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
His maternal grandfather was Eben
ezer Allen, of West Woodstock, Conn.,
who moved to Owego, N. Y., in 1806, j
and served as a soldier and officer in
the Revolutionary war. Here the eld
est daughter married George A. Bar
clay, the father of our honored citizen.
Mrs. Barclay died Nov. 22, 1881, al
though her husband yet survives but
in feeble health. George A. Barclay
settled in the wilds of Potter county in
1845, when Chas. F. Barclay was only
one year old, and moved to Cameron
county in 1865 with his family and ac
tively engaged in lumbering. Mr.
Barclay, Sr., while an active and ener
getic business man, took a deep inter
est in public affairs and served in
a great many positions of importance.
He served two terms in the legislature
from this county, in the years of 1881-
'BS-'SB and 'B7. Capt. Barclay enlisted
as a private in the 149 th Pa., 2nd Buck
tails; received commission as 2d Lieut,
on the battle field of Chancellorsville.
At battle of Gettysburg, when tin; First
Corps was surrounded, he was captur
ed and passed near eighteen months
in Southern prisons—Libbv, Dansville,
Macon, Ga., Savannah, Charleston,
S. C.. and Columbia. He was exchang
ed at Charleston Harbor, Dec. 17th,
1864; was promoted to First Lieut,
while in prison and to Capt. in 1865.
I While in the prison pens of the South
Hon. J. C. Johnson, his Capt. when
captured, served with him and shared
in his sufferings.
After the close of the war Mr. Bar-
I clay entered Michigan University Law
| Department, but gave up the profes
| sion of law and entered the general
j merchandise and lumber business,
| with his brother Geo. B. Barclay, at
' Sinnamahoning, this county. Here
| they have organized one of the largest
j lumbering plants in the state, employ
j ing many hundreds of men. Mr. Bar
j clay served as Presidential elector in
| 1892. His eminent fitness to fill the
I most exalted position within the gift
of the people is (indisputable. The
writer hereof regrets that he has cast
his lot, politically speaking, in oppo
sition to the regular party organiza
tion, thereby standing in the way of
political advancement. His bitterest
factional opponents concede his dis
tinguished fitness and all agree that
his Republicanism upon National is
sues are of the most stalwart type.
We hope the time may soon come
when factionalism in Pennsylvania, as
well as Cameron county, will be a
thing of the past; when men will not
be ostracized on account of their hon
est convictions upon partv questions;
when Indian warfare shall cease and
the grand old party unitedly meet
and defeat the enemy. When
that time does come then our little
county can reward the patriots, ad
vance the faithful and elevate to a
higher plane such men as Capt. C. P.
Barclay and many others. God grant
that that day may soon dawn.
THE MACCABEES.
THE FOLLOWING, COPIED FROM THE
PITTSBURG CATHOLIC MAY BE OK
INTEREST TO SOME OF OUR
READERS:
"From information received by the
Catholic, we have every reason to be
lieve that an item recently circulated
in the Catholic press is incorrect. The
item purported to be a condemnation
of the Order of the Maccabees, and
was conveyed by letter by Mgr. Mar
tinelli, the Apostolic Delegate, to the
Bishop of Indianapolis. Its publica
tion caused much comment, as many
of our excellent people are members of
the Maccabees."—Pittsburg Catholic.
Our local authorities would do well
to learn something about this order, as
well as study a little of their Church
matters before they condemn an or
ganization they know nothing about.
Those critics who parade their religion
oil the lappel of their coats, as a gen
eral thing, are poor Christians and
void of all charity. No member of the
Catholic Church need be intimidated
from joining this order, by such au
thority.
Prof. Stauffer.
Our citizens, as well as the friends of
education throughout the state, will be
pained to learn that Prof. 11. F. Stauffer,
who has for ten years so efficiently
served as Principal of our Borough
schools may leave us to accept the po
sition of City Supt. of Millville, N. J.,
a town of 13,000 population and fifty
schools. Mr. Stauffer has been noti
fied that he has been elected by the
Board of Education.
During Prof. Stauffer's residence in
Emporium our schools have advanced
until they rank with the best in the
state and their efficiency has been the
envy of many tows in this section.
While we do not blame the Prof, for
desiring advancement in his chosen
profession, we feel keenly his decision
to leave us. Our friends down in Jer
sey will find this gentleman a valuable
citizen, a close student and untiring
worker in the cause of education and
an honor to their town. Wo feel sure
that the people of this entire county,
who are warmlv attached to Mr. Stauf
fer, will wish both him and his family
success and happiness in their new
home.
Evidently a Canard.
An item similar to the following has
been going the rounds of the press of
this section: "Ray White, who up to a
few months ago, was employed in the
office of the Emporium Press, was kill
ed at Portland, Oregon a few days ago,
by falling through an elevated side
walk.
Mr. White had many friends in Aus
tin who were much surprised to hear
of his death. While a resident of
Emporium he was very attentive to
one of Austin's young ladies.—Austin
Republican." How the story started
is a mystery. The PRESS has no infor
mation of Mr Wdite's death, not even
his injury. Should such have occurred
we certainly would have been apprised.
The Spinsters' Convention.
| The much-talked-of Spinsters' Con
j vention assembled at the opera house,
I Tuesday evening, under tiie auspices
j of the ladies of Emmanuel Church.
I The proceedings throughout were in
j terestingand pointed and elicited much
' applause. The ladies made such a suc
| cess of this venture that in the near
| future wo may expect the young (?)
ladies to make another appearance in
■ connection with the; "buds." The
makeoverseope, manipulated by Mr.
1 A. !.). Gould, oi'Eldred, was laughable
and a great invention. The entertain
ment no doubt netted a handsome
sum.

The Port Allegany Reporter, for
many years a hard shelled organ of
Democracy has deserted the Bryan
crowd. In his last issue Brother Lay
man very pointedly states his views:
"The action of the Democratic conven
tion in New York this week makes the
nomination of Wm. J. Bryan as the
standard bearer of that party, practi
cally certain at the National Convention
in Kansas City, July sth. Imbued with
certain, well defined principles I have
been an earnest worker and co-operator
in that party since reaching my major
ity. To these principles the narrow
platform and creed of W. J. Bryan are
antagonistic. lam not so vain or ego
tistic as to believe that my action in
this or any other matter will make the
i least difference to Wm. J. Bryan or the
i Democratic party, but I simply will not
i use the paper in the encouragement of
! an idea that I believe to be wrong,
j radically so at this time, and especially
; antagonistic to the present, conceded
j prosperity of the nation. No class of
| business men or artisians in Pennsvl
vania has reason to find fault with the
• existing business conditions througli
; out tlit; state, ; nd it seems to me that
j the advocacy of an untried principle
! in matters of such importance to the
bit; in."-') welfare of the state and its
citizens, cannot and should not be well
received, hence my determination to
avoid it "
