IT is Governor Davis now up in
Maine. Smith was Governor but for
one day.
THE Legislature bribery cases were
again sent before the Grand Jury at
Harrisburg on Monday of this week,
and true bills found.
CLARION, Tenango, Armstrong and
Butler counties have formed a com
bined Agricultural Society for the pur
pose of holding alternate annual fairs.
WHEN the Fusion Convention, which
called itself the Legislature of Maine,
adjourned last Saturday it forgot to
add sine die. But it died all the same.
TIIE County Auditors on Saturday
last finished their report on the finan
cial transactions of the county for the
past year. It will be published during
the month of February.
THE list of Census Supervisors for
tho entire Union was sent to the Sen
ate on Monday by the President for
confirmation. Some time may elapse
before they are confirmed.
THE Curtin-Yocum contest for a
seat in Congress will probably be re
ferred back to the voters for another
trial, to be had at the coming spring
election, if time permits.
THE communication of our esteemed
friend of Parker township, came too
late for insertion this week. He is
strongly anti-third term and asrainst
the undue haste in holding the State
Convention.
THE Sammy Hunter murder trial is
still progressing at Pittsburgh, and it
may be several days yet before a ver
dict is reached. The evidence turns
out to be much more voluminous than
was expected.
JUDGE BREDIN and Jury Commis
sioners Monks and McCrea have been
busily employed in selecting 1,000
jurors to serve during the present year.
They will not be able to complete their
work until next week.
AT the meeting of the Republican
County Committee of Jefferson county,
Pa., last Wednesday, the preferences
of the members of the Committee for
President was taken, resulting in 18
for Blaine and 8 for Grant.
WriAT did Garcelon ask the opinion
of the Supeeme Court for ? lie got it
and then didn't follow it, and people
are anxious to know why he asked for
it. Why did he drive this last nail in
the coffin of the Democracy ?
SENATOR BAYARD'S home organ, the
Wilmington Every Evening, denounces
cx-Gov. Garcelon, of Maine, for setting
himself up as superior to the Supreme
Court, as an interpreter of the Consti
tution and statutes of the State.
GEO. R. COCHRAN, Esq., of Pitts
burgh, who lately left the Bar and be
came a minister in the Presbyterian
Church, has in turn renounced that
faith and joined the Disciples Church.
ITe was immersed at Pittsburgh last
Sunday night.
PETER COOPER sent a letter to the
National Greenback Labor Conference
at Washington last week, suggesting
the name of Senator Thurnian, of
Ohio, for the Presidency. The propo
sition was received with hisses; his
nomination of Gen. Butler or Gen.
Weaver for the second place, was
greeted with applause. Butler for
President and De La Matyr for Vice
President, appeared to be the most
formidable combination there.
Bv the Constitution of the State of
Maine the Supreme Court of that State
is "required to give their opiuion upon
important questions of law and upon
solemn occasions, when required by
the Governor, Council, Senate or
House of Representatives." This is
the briefest and best provision we have
eeea in any State Constitution on the
subject, and is the authority under
which the late decisions were made
which probably saved the people of
Maine from anarchy.
Death of Judge Painter.
Hon. John V. Painter, of Kittan
ning, died at his residence in that
place, on Wednesday morning, the
14th inst., in the 51st year of bis age.
He had been ill for some time back, a
paralytic stroke compelling him to re
tire from his profession. "In 1874 he
was appointed Judge of the Judicial
district composed of Armstrong couu
ty, and fdled that position until suc
ceeded by Judge Boggs, now also de
ceased. Judge Painter was a genial
gentleman, a man of fine education
.and a lawyer of large practice. Ho
-leaves a-wife and six children and
'many relatives and friends to lament!

What is Gambling ?
In answer to the query of a friend
as to whether "shooting for turkeys,
chickens, etc., is gambling,'' we be
lieve it is understood and has been
decided that the mere shooting for a
turkey is not gambling, where no bet
ting is allowed, that coming rather
under the head of "recreation and exer
cise." The law speaks of "games of
device, hazard, etc.," and where a fixed
house or place for the ~aroe is provided,
at which money is bet or staked.
Shootinj; matches might be converted
into gambling by allowing betting.
But, as .we have said, the common
shooting for turkeys in the country is
more of the nature of skill and recrea
tion than gaming. If money is bet it is
different. The law does not say tur
key" once. All Constables and othcers
have the right, with or without war
rant. to seize upon any gambling de
vice, and arrest the parties, and make
return to Court of the same. It makes
it the duty of all officers of justice to
do so. This is about as full an ans
wer as we are able to give our corres
pondent at present.
Rev. Edwards' Readings.
"Readings and Recitals from the
Poets," was the subject of the Rev.
I). I. Edwards in the Court House on
Tuesday evening, 13th inst., and to
say that he read and recited eloquently
and well is but the general expression
of all who had the pleasure of listen
ing to him. We have in our time
heard some distinguished professional
readers, but were entertained by none of
them more, if as much, a3 we were by
Rev. Edwards. As a general thing
professional readers overdo the matter,
or are too sensational in style or ges
ture, making you sometimes feel un
pleasant, but there was a natural grace
and ease, with a very pleasant voice,
that attracted you at once to the Rev.
Edwards. His elocution and manner
were natural and good. It has been
well said by Blair, in bis work on
Rhetoric, that the art of reading is one
of the most difficult to learn of all liter
ary accomplishments. A man may
lx? a great scholar, may be ever so
learned, or eloquent in speech, and
yet may be a poor reader of the writ
ings of others. The subject matter,
the spirit of the author, the time, place
and character of the piece you read,
have all to be considered and studied.
Rev Edwards, we thought on listen
ing to him, had studied well all these
essentials in his readings and recitals,
and the treat he gave his audience was
vcrv highly relished by them.
■ f *W> - ■ —
Who for President?
In another place will lx> seen a state
ment as to how the Republican press
of Pennsylvania stand on the next
Presidential question. The leading
number, it will be seen, express a pref
erence for Senator Blaine as the candi
date. As to this county there is no
doubt that Mr. Blaine has been the
choice for some time past, and is so
yet unless there has been a recent
change of sentiment among our Re
publicans. And if this is the case it
will be but the simple duty of the
County Committee, at its meeting on
Saturday, to express what appears to
be the will of the majority, by naming
a delegate to the National Convention
who is friendly to Blaine. All power
in such questions is in and properly
comes from the people. The right of
each Congressional district to name
the two delegates it is entitled to have
in the National Convention is con
ceded bj- the call made for the said
Convention. It is being exercised in
other districts, and wo presume will
1)0 in this one. The time being too
short before the meeting of the State
Convention to have any conference
among the counties composing this
Congressional district, the matter will
have to be left in charge of the dele
gates sent to the State Convention, to
determine at the same what two coun
ties shall have the delegates to the
National Convention and to which
shall be given the Presidential Elector.
All these questions will probably come
before our County Committee at its
meeting next Saturday.
Matters in Maine.
The news from Maine show the
Republicans to have been working
with a purpose and a plan. They
have obtained possession of the State
Government through and under the
law, as decided in their favor by the
Supreme Court of the State. Having
first appealed to the Court, for the
second time, and had the legality of
their organization of the Legislature
declared in their favor, they, in pur
suance of the same, took possession on
Saturdiy last, without bloodshed or
any serious disturbance of the peace.
They also elected and inaugu-ated
Gov. Davis, whom the law justly gave
the office to, and placed him in the
Executive Chamber. Gen. Chamber
lain, in charge of tbe militia forces,
recognized this Governor as the lawful
oue and yielded up to him his military
powers, and although Maine has made
three Governors within the last two
weeks yet we believe all her citizens
will soon recognize but the one. Be
lieving that the crisis is passed, one
thing must lie admitted and aomired
by all, and that is that both parties,
Fusionists and Republicans, kept their
temper admirably all through, all join
ing at all times against the use of
violence or fire arms. How different
it has been in some of the Southern
States, and how different it probably
would have been there now if any
such questions as they have had in
Maine would have had to be deter
mined Thi«» well for the
Pnllier Citizen: sSwfcl*c, flat., 3?«m*rattff 21, 1880.
I Northern mind and manners. AH bow
and submit to the majesty nf the law.
j The Courts have the last guess, and
while they may not always be right,
yet there is always a necessity to con
sider them right until reversed by
higher authority. We believe this will
i now l>e done in Maine. The case was
j a new one for a Northern State, but it
! arose out of a desire of the minority
to retain power tlirouirh technicalities
and quibbles.
LATEST.
On Monday last the Republican
Legislature took possession of the Leg
islative House. The Fusionists and
their bogus Governor, Smith, on being
denied admission held a session on the
sidewalk and then adjourned. Gov.
Davis, the rightful Governor, seems
to be a man of nerve and announced
that it was time for the farce to end.
.Many humorous features of the out
door proceedings of the Fusionists are
given, but general good humor pre
vailed, and the general impression is
that they will submit to the law. It
is a triumph of the law, ami of those
the people elected at the ballot box.
Congress.
BAYARD'S RESOLUTION IX THE SENATE
FINANCE MEASURES IN THE HOUSE
HOUR MAKES ANOTHER OF HIS
WITTY SPEECHES.
SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l.">.—Messrs. Me-
Pherson and Baldwin presented peti
tions of women asking for a constitu
tional amendment giving women the
right of suffrage.
Mr. Allison, from the Committee on
Finance, announced that he was di
rected by that committee to report
back the joint resolution for the with
drawal of the compulsory legal tender
power of the United States Treasury
notes. The committee had made a ver
bal amendment to the resolution unan
imously agreeing to it, and, with that
amendment, directed him to.report the
resolution adversely. He understood
there was a minority report to be pre
sented, otherwise he should ask an in
definite postponement of the resolution.
He asked it to be placed on the cal
endar for the present. So ordered.
Mr. Bayard, from the same commit
tee, presented the views of the minor
ity, which are as follows:
The undersigned, believing the
financial prosperity of the country, in
order to be enduring and secure, must
be based upon money of actual and in
trinsic value, and that our Govern
ment has no power and is incompetent
to endow its paper obligations with
such value, and United States Treas
ury notes in existence and in circula
tion being now redeemable in gold and
silver coin, at the option of the holders,
do recommend the withdrawal of the
compulsory legal tender power of such
notes and the passage of the subjoined
resolution.
(Signed) FRANCIS KERNAN,
THOS. F. BAYARD.
[Here follows the Bayard resolution,
heretofore published, that Treasury
notes shall be receivable for all dues to
the United States on duties or imports,
and shall not be otherwise legal ten
der.]
Admitting the principle of the reso
lution as to the power of the Govern
ment to make paper legal tender, I re
serve my action upon the resolution as
to the time of withdrawal of the power
given heretofore.
(Signed) WM. A. WALLACE.
Reserving the right of amendment.
(Signed) JUSTIN S. MORRILL.
The minority report was also placed
on the calendar.
The amendment made by the major
ity in the phraseology of Mr. Bayard's
joint resolution merely changes the
words "U. S. Treasury notes" to "U.
S. notes."
The morning hour having expired,
the bill went over, and Mr. Morrill
called up for consideration his resolu
tion instructing the Finance Commit
tee to inquire into the practicability' of
refunding the public debt at less rate
of interest than 4 per cent., and made
a speech thereon.
He argued tLat a lower rate of iuter
! est than 4 per cent cannot be expected
' to hold our securities at par, and that
I it would be for the best interest of the
people to place our debt at home at 4
per cent rather than a lower rate
abroad.
HOUSE.
After some miscellaneous business,
consideration was resumed of the bill |
requiring one-half of the reserves of the ,
national banks to be kept in gold and ;
silver coins of the United States.
Mr. Price declared himself opposed ,
to any tinkering with the currency, i
either as to quantity or quality of the '
paper which was circulating. He was
also opposed to taking away the legal
tender quality of the greenback. All
prudent men spoke in thunder tones, i
and said, "Let well enough alone.".
Among all the fallacies in regard to
withdrawing the legal tender quality t
of United States notes the greatest
was the assertion that the movement ;
was made in the interest of national |
banks. Those banks could not possibly '
make anything by degrading United j
States notes. He eulogized the silver
dollar, since the coinage of which the
increased prosperity of the country had
been remarkable, and called attention
to the fact that there was more gold in j
the country to-day than at the time of !
the remonetization of silver. Inconclu- j
sion he said: Yesterday our iron found
ries all over the land were idle; their
blackened walls spoke of bankruptcy ;
and ruin. The men whose business it
was to operate them saw their families ;
suffering for food and clothing. The
fires long since extinguished have been i
rekindled, the operatives are working !
full time at good wages, and are una-1
bio to supply the demand for their pro- (
ducts. Distress and desolation have j
had to flee before the onward march :
and resistless force of prosperity. '
Ships that lay rotting at our wharves I
have weighed their anchors and the j
sails of commerce have again spread i
their white wings on lake and ocean. |
Where a short time ago silence reigned :
supreme, and distress nnd desolation j
seemed to hold sway, is now heard the J
busy hum of industry. Cheerfulness
and hope have taken the place of gloom i
and despondency, and from all these |
avocations and industries the crv ;
comes up "Let well enough alone." :
(Applause.)
At the conclusion of a short speech
by Mr. Lewis, in favor of the bill, the
morning hour expired, and the bill *
went over without action. The House
then went into Committee of the
Whole on report of the Committee on
Utiles.
j Mr. Ilorr expressed bis intention of
j speaking as most members did, on the
| part of his committee. The oue he rep-
I resented was the Committee on Manu
factures, which was almost entirely ig
nored by the new rules. It ha 1 been
created "in lsi'j, while the Committee
on Appropriations was not born until
1365, and vet when his committee had
brought in its lirst bill in eighteen
years it had been taken away and given
to the Committee on Judiciary. He
thought that most of the committees of
the House ought to report to the Com
mittee on Manufactures. The great
Committee on Ways and Means cer
tainly should, because the question
of tariff affected every manufacturing
interest, and should have the benefit of
the wisdom of the Committee on .Man
ufactures. He confessed it staggered
him at first to see why the Committee
on Appropriations should report to his
Committee, until he found that it de
voted a large amount of time to manu
facturing "political riders." Every
such manufactured "riders" should
first have the revision of the old Com
mittee. and not be decided by this new
foundling, the Committee on Banks
and Currency. Now, he wanted to ap
peal to the centre of the House. If
Congress should pass the bill appro
priating four hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars for the benefit of the
soldiers who had been obliged to
take greenbacks during the war, the
question would cease to be a ques
tion of finance and would reduce itself
to a question of manufacture, and there
he found clearly the duty of the great
Committee to which he belonged, and
he thought that the Committee on
Banking and Currency ought to be
compelled to report to that committee
fur advice in manufacturing machines
to supply this nation with a great cir
culating medium. [Laughter.] The
Committee on Pacific Railroads
should also report to it. Also the Com
mittee on Commerce, which ought to
report to the Committee on Appropria
tions, but to the Committee on Manu
factures lir>t. It neeil not l>e sensitive,
because it would soon get used to it.
He was still mad with the Committee
on Judiciary for stealing the only bill
his Committee had ever had. lie has
had some trouble in discovering how
that Committee was subject to the
Committee on Manufactures, but, at
last he had found that it had been in
the habit of manufacturing replies to
veto messages. Now, that was the
clearest case of the lot, and hereafter
such matters should have the supervis
ing care of the Committee on Manufac
tures. Now he came to the Committee
on Militia. That was a Committee of
which he was proud. It stood side by
side with the Committee on Manufac
tures. lie would put the two boys
back to back, one looking toward war
and destruction, and the: other toward
peace and the building up of waste
places. He then turned his attention to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs ami
to its chairman (Cox-, of New York)
whom he had followed to Rome, and
Naples, and Venice, and Smyrna, and
Constantinople, and through the aw
ful majesty of the Alps, in "Buckeye
Abroad," consequently when he had
come here he had expected to be highly
entertained by the gentleman from
New York. But he had drawn his
seat so far back that when that gentle
man spoke all he could do was to ap
plaud and laugh and look in the
Record the next day to see if he had
laughed and applauded in the right
place. [Laughter.]
The Committee on Foreign Affairs
should report to the Committee on
Manufactures, inasmuch as it was en
gaged in manufacturing criticisms for
the gentleman from New York. He
next paid his respects to the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Wright), who at
the head of a committee had gone in
search of general depression last sum
mer. [Laughter.] lie (Ilorr) had
studied the history of that search, and
he had followed the committee to Chi
cago. Chicago had l>een an unfortunate
place to look for "general depression,"
because every industry there was
"booming." The committee had taken
testimony there for a few days, and
I had then gently wended its way to
j Salt Lake City. It was thought that
! among the Mormons it would find the
I the manufacturing element# at its low
est ebb. (Laughter). It had then
' scaled the Sierras, had brought up ou
, the slope of the beautiful Pacific, and
' had there interrogated the "sand lots,"
i and one convention had had the impu
j dence to nominate his venerable
! friend (Wright) for the Presidency—
! not at his wish, but in spite of it. If
| that Committee had come to the Com
mittee on Manufactures for advice—as
it was, the Committee had come back
without finding any depression. The
member from Pennsylvania (Wright)
should have looked at Ohio, among
his Democratic brethren, just after the
election, if he had wanted to find de
pression (Laughter). This was a se
rious matter under discussion, and he
hoped justice would be done to the old
time-honored committee which he had
the honor to represent. (Laughter and
applause).
Tae Voto of the Newspapers.
[Philadelphia Times, Jan. 17.]
It is probable that about all of the
newspapers of the State having any
opinion to express upon the next Pres
idency have made returns to the cir
culars sent out some days ago by Jhe
Times, and this morning all of the
answers that have been received and
not previously given are printed. The
whole number of papers heard from is
nearly three hundred, ami all but about
one-sixth of these have been willing
to indicate some sort of choice. The
list, as it appears entire, may be sum
marized as follows:
Candidates. Rrp. Dan. Tnd. Total.
Blaine ... 27 tJ.i
Grant 24 8 32
Sherman 4 ... 6 10
Tilden 17 6 23
Bayard 1-i 7 20
Hancock 13 8 21
Seymour 10 ... 10
Hendricks 1 1 2
For the field 7 7 17 ."1
For the nominee....: 15 7 ... 22
Anybody to l>"at Grant 10 10
No choice 3 13 32 48
Total 01 81 122 294
Blaine beats Grant among all the
papers two to one, but the largest pro
portion of this comes from the inde
pendent papers, the organs preferring
to keep a little more evenly along with
tbe machine and declare for the o!d
commander, whom very few of them j
really want. Iu the Democratic list I
Tilden has an insignificant lead, Han- j
cock and Bayard both following very j
olos*. These report?, coming tbey I
do from the surest observers of the
drift of public opinion, have attracted
attention not only throughout the
: State, but in tin 1 country at large, and
have apparently thrown some discour
agement over the Graut movement.
The canvass has been as complete as
it was possible to make it, and the re-
I suit is much more valuable as a means
i of calculating the conditiou of public
sentiment than desultory inaccurate
j interviews with individuals in cou
! fined districts. The newspaper opin
! ions have covered all sections of tbr*
i State and represent all shades of opin
ion.

From Concord Township.
Messrs. Editors —Tho Concord peo
ple gave their pastor and family a com
plete surprise on Wednesday, the 7th
inst. They came in force and took
possession of the parsonage without
asking leave. But it was evident that
no bad intention prompted the move
ment, for each came with a smile.
Soon a royal feast was spread, which
was enjoyed by all present. The day
was spent in almost unbounded social
enjoyment, but its evening came only
too soon and broke the social spell.
But the retiring company did not fail
to leave behind a substantial tokeu of
regard, in money and other valuables,
amounting to more than eighty dol
lars. These gifts were of real value in
themselves, but they were doubly es
teemed because they were the evidence
of kindly feeling and Christian sym
pathy. It is indeed encouraging to
feel, at the end of fifteen years of labor,
that we have not worn out our wel
come, but still have a people who have
a heart of sympathy and a will to
assist. Concord Church has a grand
history covering more than three
quarters of a century, with its third
pastor yet serving it, and may its fu
ture be more glorious than its past.

Who Will Tell ?
CLINTON VILLB, Jan. 10.
Messrs. Editors— Who will tell where
the northeastern corner of Butler
county is—east of the Allegheny river,
in the river, or west of it ? There is
a difference of opinion in regard to it.
What does the official report of those
who marked it say, and at what time
was the Yeuango and Butler county
line marked? Noticing scars in a
piece of a tree near where the line of
Irwin township, Yenango county, and
Marion township, Butler county, was
known to be, and not of old a division
line of lands, we knocked off a block
and counted the growths, and found
seventy-seven and a partial one, indi
cating that the mark was made about
June, 1801, more than one year after
the act was passed making the coun
ties, viz., March 12, 1800. The mark
noticed was made by a person of low
stature, standing ou the north side of
the (then) sapling, with a round butted
ax, which had a piece about one-eighth
of an inch in length out of the edge.
Please answer, and oblige ELPE.
We cannot answer our worthy cor
respondent from any personal knowl
edge, but have always understood that
the northeast corner of Butler county
was in the Allegheny river. The
oldest map at our reach, made by Mr.
Dougal at an early day, would indi
cate that the corner was not half way
over the river, while the map made by
Scott and others, in 1858, would indi
cate the corner nearly across the river
to the eastern shore. All that seems
certain is, that the corner is in the
river. J. H. N.

CANCER.
This disease like many others is regarded
as incurable. It is not so. If it i.-> takeu in
time it is as easily cured as a wart or a corn.
We know very well that it is a fearful disease
and will eat away until it destroys life, that
is if it is neglected, !>ut if it is attended to
wheu it first makes its appearance, or soon
after, there is no trouble in eradicating it
from the system. Persons will have t> lw here
during part of the treatment, consequently
there is no use writing to me for information
whether it can be cured without my seeing the
case. I also treat with success, Rupture. Piles,
Fistula, I'lcers, I'lccratedlegs, Varix-' Veins,
Varicocele Tumors, Hydrocele, and every form
of Skin Disease.

BERG —At Butler, Pa., on Thursday even
ing, the 15th of January, 1880, at the age of
03 years, 2 months and 12 days, fortified with
the graces, that only the Church can impart,
Martha Ellen, consort of Herman J. Berg. Of
her seven children, six stood at her grave (the
seventh, Sister Mary Justina, at Covington,
near New Orleans, could Dot reach in time.
Hard as it is and was to part with a good
mother, they, as all who knew her, had and
have the great consoling conviction that if ever
mortal went straight to Heaven, their mother
did. Her whole life was a preparation for that
end.

fied for the duties and responsibilities of life.
He will long be remembered, and his habits of
life cherished bv all his friends and neighbors.
A FKIEXD.
MeCANOLESS —Jan. 7th, 1880, at the resi
dence of Mr. Cimiotti, in BloomSeld, Pitts
burgh, Mrs. Sarah McCandless, in the 98th
year of her age.
Mrs. McCaudle vs wa< the mother of Mrs.
Col. Sirv.ell, of Kittanning, and a pensioner
of the war of 1812. She was the widow of
Alex. N. McCandless, who died in Butler in
1840. She was largely connected with the Me-
Caudlesses and Cyphers of Butler county. Her
parents were German and were among theearly
settlers of Pennsylvania. At the time of the
Indian troubles in the earlv history of our
country, they were forced t«» dee to Winchester,
Va., by the savages. After peace was made
thev removed back into Western Pennsylvania
and settled down in Butler county before that
county was organized, at a time where Butler
town now is there was only one building, and
that was a grist mill, and the only one that
was in the neighborhood for many miles
around. She was one of the first pioneer Catho
lics ill Western Pennsylvania, and for ninny
years had to travel tweutv-live and thirty miles
to church. The deceased was the mother of
twelve children, fiftv-eight grandchildren, twen
ty-two greatgrandchildren. Some of her chil
dren fought in the late rebellion and made
good records. — Kittanning Free Pre **, Jan. lrt.
LEASON*—Jan l'», l.sso, in Harrisville, this
county, Sauiuel Leason, Esq., aged t>B years and
9 months.
Ou New Year's Day last Mr. Leason was
driving his wagon through the village of Har
risville, sitting upon a spring seat, and in cross
ing a ditch a sudden jolt threw him out ami
upon his head. While severely injured upon
his head, yet he was not at the time thought
fatally so and was conscious for six days lifter
the fall. From that time, however, he was
partially unconscious until death came. In
his death the county has lost one of its best
and most respected citizens and his family an
affectionate father. Mr. I.eason served a term
as a County Commissioner of this oouuty,
being elected as such in the year 180 5, making
a very faithful officer. In a word, there was
no more honest, conscientious or correct man
in the county than Samuel Leason. In common
with all who knew him, we sincerely regretted
to learn of the accident by which he lost his
life.

•THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.'
The New York Tribune for 1860.
During the coming Presidential iYear TUB
TRIBUNE will be a more effective agency tli m
ever for tclliug the news best worth knowi i£,
and for euioicfmx sound polities. From the
day the war closed it has been most anxious lor
an end of sectional strife. I*nt it saw two
jears i'j:o, and was the tirrt persistently to pro
claim tLe new danger to the country frotn the"
revived alliance ot the Solid South and Tam
many Hall. Against that danger it sough: to
rally the old party ol Freedom and Union. It
began by demanding the abandoniuert of per
sona' dislikes, and set the example. It called
for an end to attacks upon each oilier lust cad
of the enemy: and lor the heartiest agreement
upon whatever lit candidates the ruajo ity
siiouid put up against the common toe Si'ice
, then the tide of disaster has l>een turned ba k ;
every doubtful State bus been won, .ind the
omets for National victory were never more
cheering.
The Tribune's Position.
Ot THE Tbihusk'S share tr. all this, thqae
speak most enthusiastic lly who have sden
most of the struggle. It will faithfully portriy
the varying phazes of th- carapnigu now begin
ning. It wiil earnestly strive that the pai ty of
Freedom, Union and the Public Faith may
seleit the man suri-st to win, and surest to
make a good President. Bat in this crisis it
can conceive of no nomination this party could
uiake that would not be preferable to the best
that could possible be supported by the Solid
South and Tammany Hall.
THE TKIIU'NE is now spending more labor
and money than ever before to hold the dis
tin'-flou it has long enjoyed of the largest cir
culation among the btst people It secured, and
means to retain it, by becoming the medium of
the best thought and the voice of the best con
science of the time, l>y keeping abrest ol the
. highest progress, favoring the freest di-cus: !on,
hearing all fides, oppealiuz always to the hist
Intelligence and the purest morality, and n fus
ing to crter to the tastes ol the vile or the
prejudices of the ignorant.
Sprciul Features.
Tlie distinctive features of "Inn TiunrNT, are
known to everybody. L gives all the news. It
has the best co: respondents, and retains then-,
from year to )iar. It is the only paper that
maintains a special telegraphic wire ol its own
between its otH e and Washiu ton. Its scien
tific, literary, arti.-:ie nnd religions iutc!lig< nee
is the fullest. Its book reviews are the best.
Its commercial and ftnauci: I news is the most
exact. Its type >s the largest; and its arrangc
ment the most systematic.
THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in
the country, having four times the circulation
of any other in New York. It is specially
adapted to the large class ol intelligent, pro
fessional or business readers too far from New
York to depen upon our papers for the daily
news, who nevertheless want the editorials,
correspondence, hook reviews, scientific matio.r,
lectures, literary niisccllauev, etc, for which
THE TKIBUSB IS famous. Like THE lVgr.:av
It contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient
form for binding
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
remaii s the great favoiitc of our substantia]
eouutry population, and has tne largest circula
tion of any Weekly issued from the otlice of a
Daily paper in New York, or, so far as we
know, In the United Stales. It revises and
condenses all the news luto readable shape Its
agricultural department is more carefully con
ducted thau CTer, and it has always been con
sidered the t>est. Its market r. ports are the
official standard for the Dairymen's Association,
and have long been the recognized authority on
cattle, grain and general country produce.
There are special departments for the youp.r,
and for household intcres's ; the new handi
work department, already extremely popular,
tives unusually aierate and comf rehensiv in
structions iti k-iittliig, crocheting, and kindred
cul>je<ts; while poetry, fiction and the humor
ol tLe day are all abundantly supplied. The
verdict of the ten? of" thousands of old rcancrs
who have returned to it during the past jeir is |
that they find it letter :ban ever, increasing
