THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR At DITOR
I. ENEKAI. OP THE STATE.
The achievements of the Pennsyl
VAttia Reserves constitute a very import
ant chapter in the history of the part
which our state bore in the struggle of
tho war for the Union. They were a
body of soldiers who were distinguished
alike for gallantry of service ami for
the perils of war which they encounter
eJ. Recruited from ditl'erent parts of
the state they represented the best ele
ments of its citizenship, ami no better
types of the citizen soldier who saved
the republic were to be found in the
army than the Reserves. 1 very com
inander under whom they served at
tested their endurance and heroism,
and every battle field upon which they
fought tells the story of their soldierly
qualities. The life of the Democratic
candidate for Auditor General is the
story of one of this band, who in the
flush of his young manhood heard and
answered the call of his country, served
it a full term of three years, and when
the war was over took his place as a
citizen, identifying himself with one of
the great material interests of his na
tive state; and who, ever since, has
filled that place with credit to himself
and honor among his fellow citizens,
meriting and commanding the univer
eal respect of the community in which
he has resided for the uprightness of
his personal character and the integrity
of his conduct in all the relitions of
life.
M U. TAGGART'* PARENTS,
As his name indicates, Robert Tag
girt is of that stock of immigrants from
northern Ireland who have peopled so
many sections of tins state, and whose
strong vitality has impressed itself upon
the social and political life of the com
monwealth. His parents came over to
this country in 18.10 and settled in Pitts
burgh, where a half century ago the
Mcotch-Irish was the most influential
clement. Ilis father was a shoemaker
by trade, and engaged eitenaively in
this business. He was a man of strong
individuality, with keen appreciation of
the benefits of education, and after
giving his son Robert a thorough com
mon school education designed him for
• college course, but business reverses
frustrated this purpose. His only sur
viving brother, Rev. Satnuel Tsggart, is
a minister of the I'nited Fresbyteiian
church, and has been for nearly fifty
years pastor of the charge in West
Middletown, Washington county, I'enn
sylvania; he is the father of Rev. S. A.
Taggart, State Secretary of the V. M. (>
A.
Robert Taggart was born in Pitts
burgh in 1836 and was one of a family
of five boys and three girls. The eldest
brother died in the ministry in South
Carolina ; the second, John J., formerly
professor in the Eleventh ward | üblic
schools of Pittsburgh, died in that ser
vice. A younger brother, Samuel, left
the theological seminary where he was
preparing for the ministry to enter
( Rev.) Colonel Clark's regiment: he re
enlisted for three years and was killed
in front of Petersburg, Va.. while charg
•ng upon the enemy, William is still a
resident of Pittsburgh, being superin.
tendent of the Baker Car Heating Com
pany. It is notable that all five of the
Tsggart brothers were in the Union
army at one time, the youngeal enter
ing the service at the age of lfi. Not
even the famous family of fighting Mc-
Cooks can show a better record than
that.
COMPLETING HIS EDUCATION.
After completing his education in the
-common schools, young Taggart applied
Jwmaolf to aud mastered the ttade of
pattern making in a thorough course of
four years' apprenticeship. While learn
ing his trade imbued with zeal for
knowledge and culture, ho regularly
attended night school and improved
himself by assisting in the organization
of literary societies. In these he wa*
associated with Andrew Carnagio, the
| great manufacturer, and Samuel Harper,
, now a prominent lawyer of Pittsburgh,
and later his society was merged with
one of which Hon. John H. Baily, Hon,
James It. Hopkins and other well
1 known Pittsburgers were members.
1 By these and oilier means of which an
• industrious and determined lud will
; avail himself, he qualified himself to
teach, and in the winter of ISOO he
, conducted a school in Bridgevillc, ten
J miles from Pittsburgh, and at the close
of the regular session was prevailed
upon to take charge of a select school.
But after two weeks of this the war
news culled him from his desk ; he dia
missed his scholars and started with
Colonel George S. Hays, of the Nth
Pennsylvania Reserves to recruit a coin,
• pany. Impatient of delay he joined a
company which was united to the yth
regiment of the Pennsylvania Reaervs
then recruiting in Western Pennsyl
vania, and to the end of its term of ser
( vice his military record is that of his
gallant regiment.
Front Pittsburgh tho regiment was
taken to llarrisburg, thence into camp
jat Tenallytown and to Langley. It lay
|in the < hickahominy swamps, and
| fougiit at Draincsville. Mechanicsvillo
j Gaines' Mills, near White <Gk Creek,
I where Cooper's battery was taken and j
j retaken, and where as often as tlie j
| hearer of tho regimental colors wa- shot i
' down another brave hand grasped and
! bore them aloft : at Malvern Hill, at .
i Grovetown, Antietam and I rederickt
I burg. At Gettysburg the 9th Reserve 1
j Regiment was a part of SykeC coin
tnand, and on July I'd was placed in r<
serve in tho -rear and to tho right of
! Round Top in support of Sickles. When
he was worsted and the enemy was
about to clutch I.ittlo Round Top, Syki-s
was ordered forward. To the •;h the
command rang out, "char the ground
and hold the line between Little Round
. Top and Round Top. ' They did. i ort.
fy ing their line wit it the loose fragment ■
of granite boulder they fronted "Devil
j Den" in which the rebel sharj shootei B
I lay and faced their hot tire with un
| wavering courage. i '.i the very d,y
that the regiment':, term expire i and
it lie summons came for it return to
Washington Robert Taggart now ma
jor—stood w,tu 1i... comrades in the
j front line of the Wildernej.
A lIRILMANT ARM V It ZCO He.
By merit alone the stripling soldier
had risen from private to ntsjor ; and in
I all the changes of rank he had disj lu>
cd those qualities which maintained ! r
him the unqualified respect of his f.-l
low officers ami tho unchanging atfec
tion of the private soldiers. He parti
cij ited in every engagement of the
regiment except at I'rainesville, when
he lay sick with camp fever. He was
first promoted to the rank of sergeant
msjor ; then became Lieutenant of Go, .'
K; was detailed to act a adjutant:
made Captain of Co. C, and when th<-
place of major became vacant the men ]
of the regiment unanimously petitioned
for his commission to that place. It
was only denied him by reason that he
was the youngest captain.
Upon hit return to civil life he went
to the "oil country," of which he ha
been a citizen ever since. At < herry
Run he was superintendent of five oil
companies, all organized in Pittsburgh,
and in 1" .; he removed to Tidooute.
Warren county, where he has since
reside'l. Besides operating as a pro
dueer on his own account, he has been
engaged an superintendent or manager
of the Tideotite and Warren and Tri
umph oil companies, the stock of which
is held mostly in Pittsburgh. In all the
struggle of the producers against mon.
opoly and unjust discrimination he has
stood manfully with them and has in
variably been a representative delegate
in their conventions, called to protect
and promote the interests of tins great
industry.
Major Taggart has always been a
consistent, straightforward Democrat,
though never a candidate for office,
except occasionally filling a place on the
local ticket of Warren county, where
the opposition majority is so decided as
to render the election of a Democrat a
forlorn hope. He has been a delegate
in state conventions, and in the most
satisfactory manner discharged the
duties of chairman of the Warren
county committee in 1882. Though his
political positi in has been unmistaka
ble, h* has always had the respect of
his republican acquaintances, and since
hia nomination they have borne the
highest testimonials to hia fitness for
' the office to which he has been named.
Msjor Taggart was married twenty
yaars ago and ha* a family. lie is a
i member wf the Presbyterian church, and
1 has always taken an interest in and
f been identified with the wdojoo nchoo!
Bystein and other measures calculated
to enhance tho educational and moral
interests of tlio community in which ho
reiiideH.
The nomination for Auditor General
in the late Democratic state convention
came to him entirely unsolicited and
unsought. <>ul of a largo number of
candidates tho attention of the dele
gates gradually turned toward and cen
tered upon him us his friends presented
his merits and his character became
known. The immediate acquiescence
of the party of tho whole state in the
fitness of the nomination lias confirmed
tho wisdom of their choice.
The Attitude or the Senate.
The people of Pennsylvania ure oh
iiged day l>y day to witness tho humili
ating spectacle of their senate refusing
to legislate on tho subjects which tin- ■
legislature lias been called to consider. 1
Hofore the resolution cutting oil' the
pay of senators and representatives was
passed the republican majority in tho
sonato declared that they would con"
sider no apportionment hills except
those embraced in their ultimatum. A'l/t'.
t> /■ , /ft 1 . -.'" the republican
senators declare that they will consider
no apportionment bills whatever, but j
will routine tho proceedings of tho sen I
ate simply to tho pa -age of an appro
priation lull ami a resolution fixing the
day of fit, d adjournment.
This attitude of the senate is a hold
and impudent defiance of the people
ui whose name and by whose authority
: expressly delegated to the executive in
tho constitution the special res-ion ha'
been called. The senate refuses to obey
the authority of the people and since
its members can no longer draw their
| ten dollars a day propo. s to run away
hi I leave undone the p' "pie's w -ik to
which the people - executive has railed
them in pursuance of the power vested
in him by the people's < in-titution.
Thus the will of the republican boss be
comes a higher law than tiie constitution
and a ] .er superior ti tho ) >j ui ir
will.

it requires a population of 102,900 to

A Faithful Hatch Itog.
Commenting on the Governor's exer
else of his odlco tho Pittsburgh l.tt.r,
a Republican paper has said :
"Call a dog a bad name nnd you may
a* well drown him" saitli tho old pro
verb, and that vvo suppose is what some
of the Republican papers are trying to
do when they denounce Gov. I'nttison
as tho "snarling watch dog of the treas
ury." Hut when you attempt to kill
man or dog by abusivo nomenclature,
you ought to be very sure that your had
name is a hud name. To the ('.mm. r< d
linwlte. the term "snarling watch-dog''
may have a very npprobrious sound hut
if we were fiov. i'atlison we would feel
quite tickled over it. A watch dog is
one of the best of all dogs, and his bu-i
news is to snarl. A Governor of I'cnn
sylvania who does his duty can hardly
he more happily described than by com
paring him to the faithful guardian of
the night, who with warning snurlc
ami sharp biles, if necessary, keeps
away those who would rob the house of
his masters. It is therefore a high nnd
deserved compliment to'inventor Hot
lison that his political opponents pay
him in liki-ning him to tie- most faith

.1 Man on the Fence.
Though Mr. derone 11. 14ilea Sa the
Republican candidate for Auditor (ten
era! of I'ennsyl vania, and is a some
what prominent man in bis party, there
is still some doubt as to whom he sup*
ported for g- vrrnor la*t year. In the
early part of the campaign he was for
General Heaver, and wrote a letter to
the General to that efl'ect, hut before
i, be campaign closed he was on the
stump with Senator itfitci.c-11 makit e
Independent speeches. But wlictbA
he voted for Heaver or Hicwart is not
known, and since the two wings of the
Republican parly are united in resist,
anee to apportionment, the quealion
has probably small importance except
in ita personal bearing. Hut there ia
" , i i.
another theory in regard to the vote of
Mr. Nile*. The official returns ahow
that there were just twenty four votes
in Tioga county for Mr. I'etfit, the Fro
hibition candidate for governor, and the
vote of Mr. Nile* may have been among
these. What, strengthens this theory is
the fad that Mr. Niles belong* to the
prohibition wing of the Republican
party of Pennsylvania, and voted al
wav* for prohibition in the Legislature.
