GOTEBIIO.II , MUM
ais 'Tour in Western Pennsylvania—
Ws Enthusiastic Reception by the
People--Progrese of the Campaign.
Worresponaince of the Putstairiti Gazette.)
FREEPOST, Sept. 25,1869.
The Governor's tour in the western
part of the State thus far has been emi
nently satisfactory. The enthusiastic re
captions everywhere accorded him recall
the memorable days of last autumn,
when the camp fires were burning
brightly and willing hearts and hands
were engaged in the patriotic work
which resulted so grandly for the na
tional welfare. His tour has been as an
electric spark, rekindling those fires and
infusing courage, confidence and a spirit
of hearty, energetic action into the man
agement of the campaign, which happily
augurs another triumphant Republican
victory.
Coming directly from the east, where
the work goes bravely on the Governor
and his suite stopped first at .Apollo,
Armstrong county, on the line of the
Western Pennsylvania Railroad. His
arrival had not been unexpected and the
reception was alike honorable to the pa
triotism of the corporation and worthy
their distinguished visitor. Of the pro
cession- with which he was escorted
through town. the gala, holiday appear
ance' of the place, and the excitement of
the occatdoni together with the Proceed
ings at the public meeting, yon have
already had full particulars by telegraph.
It may not be uninter est ing, however,
to note that the meeting was Meld on the
main street at a neat speakers' stand,
which had been tastefully trimmed and
decorated with evergreen and flowers
by the ladies, ever foremost in good
works, and which presented' a brillidnt
appearance when illuminated by the ra-
Mance from numberless Chinese lan
terns. At the conclusion of the meeting
the precession re-fortned, and the'
party were escorted to Rogers do
Co's rolling mill, which was in
full operation at the outskirts of
the town. The manufactory was exam
ined and the interesting process of iron
making witnessed, when the hands, num
bering about one hundred and fifty, were
called together and addressed by the
Governor in a few appropriate words,
which elicited the heartiest evidences of
enthusiasm. The light from the forges
partially scattering the darkness, the
hardy sons of toil gathered in a group,
the large concourse of spectators and the
bands playing a martial air, formed an
Inspiriting and electric scene:
The Governor departed next morning,
after being serenaded; and escorted to
the depot by the citizens en masse for
BUTLER..
Where his Os -option was still more
flattering and enthusiastic. It had been
announced that he would be present at a
meeting in the evening, and all day
long the people came pouring into the
town, on horse back, in wagons and
afoot from every :part of the county.
The excitement was intense, and all
seemed bent on one subject, doing honor
to the welcome guest, ana the goodly
corporation which never does things'
by half on this occasion fairly out did
herself. The Governor as stated in my
dispatch. arrived at two o'clock and put
up at Jacks H net, As soon as his pre
sence became known he, was called upon
by the prominent citizens and a number
of ladies. After recuperating from the
fatigues of travel the party were taken
in charge by the Reception Committee,
Gen. Purviance, Col. Thompson, Col.
hic.Junkin, W. 11. R. Graham, Esq., and
escorted through the town and to the
grounds where the County Fair was in i
progress. During the stay here, about
an hour, business was entirely stopped I
and the people crowded around, cheering
and manifesting the most• hearty enthu
siasm.
The grand torchlight procession,which I
came off in the evening, was grand in
every sense of the word, whether in num
bers, spirit, or brilliancy. Flags and
streamers were fluttering in every quar
ter, and as the procession moved along
through the principal streets, it was
greeted with every manifestation of de
light by the people.
It halted In front of the court house
after the route had been traversed and
the participants joined in the meeting,
that is the very taw of them who could
do so, for by this time the interior of the
temple of justice was so completely oc
cupied that admittance to another indi
vidual was almost an impossibility. The
meeting was one which Etas had no par
allel in the annals of Butler, and so ut
terly astonished the tedest inhabitan:,
as to cause the old gentleman to make
the remark upon which we base
.our statement. Tne walls and speakers'
platform had been handsomely draped'
with flags, and the staid' appearance of
the structure seemed tn have given place
to one of a more youthful, holiday char
acter, under the influence of the occa
sion. The character and spirit of the
meeting may be judged from the fact
that the crowds did not disperse until
near midnight. Two speeches only were
made; Gov. Geary talking in a practical
but impressive wanner for nearly two
hours,
c ause . neing interrupted with
vociferousaPp Hon.Mahlon Chance
followed in an hour's speech, one of his
most terse and telling efforts, which was
received with forcible expressions of ap
proval/from the assemblage. The meet
ing adjourned with rousing cheers
for the county and State ticket. Its effect
cannot but be of the most favorable
character, as the spirit of Republicanism
la Butler has been aroused and has com
menced the campaign with vigor. -
The Democracy, misguided people, at
tempted to get up an opposition demon
stration, and for this purpose had a torch
light , procession and afterwards ad-
Warned to Connoquenessing Hall where
Ex-GOvernor Win, Johnson attempted to
hold their attention. Sad failure. Ere
the plaintive champion of the "lost
cause had arrived at his “fotirthly" the
number of his hearers, the nunterrified"
Democracy, had grown almost imper
ceptible and his elucidations of the situ
ation were necessarily drawn to a hasty
omacinsion;: -
Thu enthualaam at the Conrt House
sounded ominously in the ears of the
“unterrifled," and with sorrowful hearts
they . -
"Folded their tents like Arabs
And silently stole away."
The Governor and his party next morn
ing wereoecupied in receiving visits from
the townspeople until the hour of their
departure, when they were taken in
charge by the Committee and escorted to
their next appointment,
Where they arrived this afternoon at two
o'clock.' •Arrangementii had been made
fur a grand-masp• meeting here, but the;
weather unfortunately proved unpropi-,
lions, and somewhat interfered with the
frogramme. Nevertheless, when it was
ound that an out door meeting was im
possible; the town hall was secured. It
was but ' a few Mintites before' it was
was filled, when a =meeting s
was organized with 5. non. Dar
win Phelps as Chairman and "the
usual list of other officer& :The, Chair
man made a,. few stirring rensargaiand
introduced Governor Geary,' whoiltfter,
speaking about an tour, was followed'
by Pdri Chance. During the *Ogre& of
the meeting, the Governor received a
dispatch from Blairsville, urging his at-
tendanoe there at a meeting to-night
[Baturdar]. After . consultation, he ac
cepted t he earnest invitation and de
parted In the four o'clock train,
This altered the programme and pre
vented his going to Pittebi-og. -.h. Great
preparations b-aen made e for the
meeting at Blairsville, and from what I

VW sten Presentation.
On Saturday evening, September 24th,
the workingmen employed at the Bigley
mines, situated on the P. & C. Railroad,
at Alpsville, Pa., six miles above Mc-
Keesport, desirous of showing their high
regard for Mr. John Blythe, who has
been for the past five years Superinten
dent of Capt. N. J. Bigley's very exten
sive coal works, and who is about to en
gage in other business—assembled in
the check house to the number of one
hundred men. After perfecting arrange
ments, a Committee consisting of Messrs.
McCleery and Kerr was appointed to wait
upon Mr. Blythe and solicit his
presence. Upon their arrival, Mr.
Samos Jackson announced the object for
which they were assembled, and there
upon introduced the oldest hand about
the works, Mr. Boone. Mr. - Boone, at
tended by Messrs. Legal and Duncan,
employes at the works, stepped fer Ward
and spoke as follows: Mr. John Blythe.
we the , employes of N. J. Bigley's works,
the equal of which cannot be found in
Western Pennsylvania, works owned
and planned by N. J. Bigley, - Esq , our
worthy employer, and superintended by
.you with such creditable success to all
.concerned, have assembled here for the
Purpose or presenting yeu with a watch
and chain—a token of our high esteem
for you as a gentleman and manager.
In offering you this small tribute of
our high regard, please receive this ac
knowledgment that if it were in our
power to bestow upon you a larger gift,
we would mcst gladly do so, as we the
employes one and all are under many
obligations to you for your untlarAllg
glu t :Meal As you are about to depart
f ro m us to engage in another business do
therefore accept this watch and chain
and with it also our warmest thanks.
May peace, happiness and prosperity
attendyou.
Mr. John Blythe then arose and stated
that as he. was a man of few words, he
' would have to be brief. He commenced
by saying that he bad accepted with
great pleasure the precious and generous
gift presented him, and remarked that
he had been in N. J. Bigley's employ far
upwards of eleven years, that he had al
ways endeavored to serve his employer's
Wei est as well as the employes, con
sistent with duty, and that if he had at
any time erred it was the fault of the
judgment and not of the head.
He.noped that this occasion would re
move all difference and that in -leaving
them he could really take with him their
best wishes for his future welfare. He
concluded by saying that If the ern
- • ployes of the Bigley Mines would "con
tinue to do their duty by their employer,
they would find in htm a truly good and
kind employer. Three cheers were then
given with a will for Mr. John Blythe.
The occasion was replete with Interest,
and the writer of this, an eye witness to
the scene, makes this assertion. that if
capitalists and managers desire peace on
earth they should exercise good will
towards their employes, and by so do
ing what happened at Capt. Bigley's
works, would happen with them. Capi
al and labor should go. hand in hand.
Mc.
COLLnly Home.
We accompanied the Grand Jury on
their visit of inspection on Friday last
to the Allegheny County Home. On a
former occasion we described the build
ings and grounds. We noticed on the
recent, as on the former visit: the perfect
order and • cleanliness that pervade the
whole establistunent, the apparent sails•
faction and contentment of thennmerous
inmates, the abundance of simple,
wholesome food with which they are
served, the excellent discipline and really
wonderful proficiency of the school of
little ones; the manifest efficiency of all
the officers occupied' iu the immediate
oversight of the Home. Mr. McElroy,
the Superintendent, and his family, have
proved themselves a most fortunate se
lection; the Directors could not in the
county have made a better choice. Miss
Jordan, as Matron, is kind, energetic and
thorough, her head and her heart are in
her arduous daily routine, and Miss
Hayes, the Teacher, has proved herself
a precious accession to the corps of offi
cers. Bhe Is a lady of charming presence,
ever sprightly and lively, setting before
the children the example of happy and
joyous, as well as of refired tnanners.
The children are obedient to her every
rale, and vet much endeared to her.
During the past year, under the per
sonal and constant supervision of Mr.
Murray. one of their number, , the Di
rectors have erected several necessary
additional buildings; including graner
ies, shops, stabling for horses and for
cows, pens for hogs, henerles, ate. We
think the visiting jurymen could not fall
to appreciate, not the necessity only for
these improvements, but also the skill
and ingenuity of their adaptation .and
structure. /
While the Home building, the ern'.
mental walkE, lawn plantings and foun
tain which embelllah it, and also the ad
jacent and appurtenant outbuildings, are
all on a liberal stale, it moat be admitted
that they all exhibit wise adaptation to
the present and future objects for which
the expense has been incurred, and
entitle the Directors to the grateful ac
knowledgments of a well soma con
ptituency. In matters of this kind it is
always the truest wisdow to devise for the
future as well as for the present, and the
truest economy to provide at once for
a reasonable stretch of the future, rather
than by a narrow and short-sighted policy
and a niggardly 'and stinted expen
diture to supply only a cramped and in
adequate support of those whom age, dis
ease or the frowns of fortune have made
dependent on their more prosperotis fel
low-cereatures.
