The
True Inwardness of the
Called "Great Revolt."
So-
The Titusvillo Iterate sent a reliable
and wide-awake writer through Warren
county and publishes the result of his ob
servations iu the issue of Saturday, SopU
"0. A greater part of its article is devoted
to tho Warren bolters, a league of alleged
Republicans who are md because they
can't boss, and propose to smash the good
old Kepubliean party of Warren county
and the Slate at largo. Tiio Iterate says
At various times recently reports havo
boon in circulation through tho country
that there was a "great body" of self right
eous Kepubliean voters throughout the
borough of Warren who bad bolted tho
ticket, shied their helmets into the ring
ana declared ineiuseives to oppose an
tuing aim ever) tiling mat did not exactly
come up to their ideas regard iug the proper
management of state and county politics.
(So far oa can be learned from reliablo
sources, matters in Warren at proseut
stand about as follows: There has been
formed there what is called by its limited
number of members, an "Independent
Kepubliean league of the Borough of
warren." iiiis "ieague" Juts issued a
circular embellished at the head with large
black faced type, announcing the above
title. This glaring display head is follow
ed by the names of oflicers and a so-called
"Platform of Principles," in which it is
el aimed, among numerous other patriotic
sentences, that tho party management has
fallen into other hands than theirs and that
those uow at the helm are adopting meas
ures and methods of which they (the "In
dependents") do not approve, and they
pledge themselves to use every means
promising practical success, to resist the
action of party managers and bring the
party up out of the mire and clay in which
they (the Independents) claim it is at pres
ent reveling. Thin platform has been most
thoroughly circulated, and the signatures
number about 150, composed of Prohibi
tionists, ex-Grcenhackors, Democrats, Re
publicans (so-called), Mugwumps and pro
ibssioual kickers. Among the names, of
course, appear a fow good solid Republi
cans, but it was found on careful inquiry
that those gentlemen did not thoroughly
understand the situation when they sigued
(he platform and that a large number of
them have since declined to have anything
to do with the organization, refusing to at
tend any ot tne meetings and keeping en
tirely aloof Iroin the whole crowd. Es
pecially has this been so, since tho last
meeting, which was attended by about
thirty "Independents." On this occasion
the following resolutions were passed :
Heaalvetl, That for the present it is de
termined that this league pursue tho fol
lowing lino of action us "promising prac
tical success " to encourage tho organiza
tion of clubs in every election district of
the 37th Judicial district of Pennsylvania
Cor the following purposes:
1. "To resist the arbitrary action and
dictation of" George II. Higgins, Ewp, in
attempting to foist himself into tho ollieo
of President Judge without being the nom
inee of any political partv, against the
overwhelming judgment of1 Ids associates
at the bar, and without the professional en
dowment and attainments, and without
the calm and sober judgment tlmtouyht to
adorn this high and sacred ollieo.
2. To resist all attempts by sellish anil
unscrupulous moil to secure for themselves
or others, noiuiiuitions for, or elections to,
places of public trust, by the employment
of promises ol individual advantage, by
the unlawful use of money, or by auy
other corrupt or immoral practices.
Jam is ('Ai)i.i:, V. P.,
(Acting President.)
John W. Ai.niu.i iir,
Jos. A. SOUOFIKI.I),
Secretaries.
Tho true Inwardness of tho whole move
was exposed, the act of the meeting clear
ly demonstrating that the whole schcino
was gotten up by certain disgruntled in
dividuals for the sole purpose of venting a
personal spite against George II. Higgins,
Ks'l., and If Missilile, defeating him for the
oltioe of Judge. It was a very bad break
and a great oversight on the part of the
virtuous and highly moral and conscien
tious managers of the "Independent
league" to thus show their hands, but it
has been done and they must now uiuke
the best of it. It has however knocked
their calculations all endw ays, as the great
bulk of their member revolt and most of
'cm emphatically repudiate the action of
tho meeting. The sum and substance of
the whole matter seems to be thnt the so
called "league" was gotten up by A. I.
Wood, et al, for tho ostensible purpose of
bringing strength to lear against tho state
ticket. The movement was almost a lint
failure, as but thirty-three persons out of
tho whole number of signers to tho plat
form ever apoarcd at a meeting.
llelow we give a brief sketch of some of
theso would-be reformers, ns will bp dis
covered by a perusal of what follows.
There seems to bo a wido difference of
opinion among tho members as to the aims
and objects of the move.
James Cable, w ho signs tho circular ns
Vice Presided and acting President, was
defeated bv William Swanson forthe nom
ination for District Attorney about the
year lsSI, am) sineo that Hire has never
been a reliablo Kepubliean. Ho is down
on all Swedes ami their friends ever since.
I). I. Hall, who was once elected by lie
publicans to the ollieo of Treasurer, but
who now reads the New York Tunc, be
lieves the Republicans to be radically
w rong on tho tarill' and federal election
bills, and seems to have made up his mind
to oppose Republicans on general princi
pies.
Ex-Postmaster Ahlen desired tho cilice
again, but, as Hill Scott was not "in," he
had to take a buck seat. Ho is then lore, a
kicker.
'Squire ( JiHirgp O. Cornelius talks very
frankly as regards his position. He says
the solo object of tho "league" is to detent
Higgins lor Judge and Allen for (he Sen
ate and that the stato ticket will be in no
way interfered w ith. He savs the present
light is purely local and demands that the
Suite Committee keep its hands oil'.
S. W. Waters admits thnt ho signed tho
paper, but says he has never attended any
ol tho meetings and will vote the straight
state and county Republican ticket.
II. J. Muso, who has so far proved a
rather unsuccessful seeker for ofhee, isdis
satistied and takes the present opportunity
to seek redress for imaginary wrongs.
William Yates is also a reformer, not
for any particular public good, perhaps,
but more to gratify private ends. As one
of his friends remarked, "You cannot bo
long to tho 'Independent League' unless
you have a spite against sonic one."
A reporter called on Mr. James Clark,
whoso naino appears as President of the
"league." ThiB gentleman is one of War
ren's most able and reliablo citizens, and a
man of sterling worth and integrity. Mr.
Clark said he was verv glad of the oppor
tunity to tell the public how ho stood, and
treated tho newspaper man most klnrilv.
lieu as Ken ii ne Had accepted the presi
dency of the "league," he said he had, but
when shown a copy of the circular, the
wording of which is directed entirely
against Mr. Higgins, he said ho knew
nothing ot it and had never sanctioned its
issuo. Mr. Clark was very frank and can
did in all he said, and stated most eni-
fhatically that he had nothing against Mr.
tiggins. Although its President, ho had
not taken any active part in the meetings
and was not present at tho meeting when
mtj niiki-jj iKius resolution w asiaiKCU Ol.
Judging from Mr. Clark's candid talk it
would seem that he was not fully cogni
zant of the aims and objects of the "leaguo,"
when he aceeptod the oftico of President.
One thing is certain, he is not in sympathy
with the utterances of the recent circular
Issued directly against Mr. Higgins.
Mr. A. J. Ilazeltino, whoso name is
found among the members of tho finance
committee, was seen fn his ollieo at the
Savings Rank, of which he is President,
ne also treated the reporter very cour
teously and expressed himself as much
pleased to have an opportunity to place his
ideas regarding the "league" before the
public. lie thought it was wise at all
times for every man to occupy such a po
sition, especially in political afbiirs, that
he could use his own judgment regarding
uow hj piaee nis vote, anu mat was tne
Idea he had when he became a member of
tne "leaguo." As for using tho organiza
tion to light any one candidate for office,
especially wnen that individual is a re
spected local candidate, tbe thought nover
entered his head, and he deplored the
action of the gentlemen who were inatru
mental in pacing tho resolution.
Myron B. Dunham, whose name is being
used as a Vieo President, was also soon.
iwr. iiiiniiiim says ne never attended a
meeting and has nothing against Mr. Hig
gins, either of a personal or political na
ture. Jie has never expressed himself ns
beini opposed to the Republican state.
district or county nominees, and does not
sanction the recent act ot tlio "leaguo," in
its personal anu pointed uttucK on Mr.
Higgins.
Tlio above are tho views of only a fow
of tho gentlemen interviewed. Ono gen
tleman says Mr. Higgins is all right but
Delamater must bo beaten ; another is in
love with Senator Delamater, but down on
Mr. Higgins, and scarcely an two of tho
inombers of the "leaguo" hold opinions
aliKe; lu lact, as one of its members re
marked, it looks as if the "leaguo" was
organized especially to disorganize. In its
presont cnaotic condition it is one ot tho
most rattled political organizations imag
inable and promises to do the Republican
party and its candidates far more good
than harm.
The petty persecutions directed against
Mr. Higgins aro daily gaining for him
votes. The people as a w hole, irrespective
of party, aro awakening to the fact that
they are being humbugged and hoodwink
ed by this so-called "league," whose sole
object of existence has been proven to be
tlio defeat of Mr. Higgins, and which was
gotten up by his enemies Isith in and out
of the party. All signs point to the elec
tion of Mr. Higgins by ono of the largest
majorities ever polled in tho district.
General Hastings for Congress.
A special dispatch from Clearfield,
Pit., dated yesterday, says the Ilejmb
licau Convention of that county en
dorsed General Daniel II. Hastings
fur Congressman from this district. If
the Geucral enters the race he will be
elected without a doubt. Let us have
Hastings.
Let no Republican be deceived.
