BUTLKK CITIZEN. JOHN H. A W. C. NEfiLEY. PROP BS. Enteredat the Postojfiee at Butler as second-claw* matter. Bepablioan State Nominations. FOR JL'DGE SUPREME COURT, Hon. Henry Green» Or JtOFTHAMPTOJf COI'STY. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL, Hon. John A. Lemon, OF BX.AIR COUNTY. MR! WILLIAM H. WALTERS has been appointed Post master at Mars, this county THE matter which a friend writing from Peaehville enquires of us about is in Court, and we cannot, therefore, give him through the paper the opin ion be requests. THI Mercer Index, heretofore a Greenback paper, has deserted that cause for, as it says, a want of support, and will now support any Republican candidate for President, except Grant. "Go AWAY from home to hear the news," is again illustrated by our co temporary of the Mcadville Republican, in its issue last week, when it says, "A new postofliec just established somewhere out in the wilds of Butler county, has been christened "I'ina fore." We are not aware of any new postofficc in this county bearing the above musical name. THE Jury Commissioners, Messrs. Monks and McCrea, with Judge Bre din, finished last week their work of selecting jurors for the preseut year, having carefully selected one thousand names from the county for that pur pose. They also drew from the same two hundred and eight names to serve as juror 9 for the coming March Court and other special Courts to be held before June. The list for the regular March Term will be seen in this paper. GKORQK W. DELAMATER, Esq., of Crawford county, is the Presidential Elector for this district. The whole list for the State we notice has not yet been completed. The State Conven tion very prudently directed an in quiry to be made into the legal quali fications of these officers. As soon as the list is completed they will be an nounced. MR. WILLIAM H. RITTER, of this place, is the member of the State Cen tral Committee for this county. BLAINE 113, Grant 133, is the way the vote stood on the direct question in the State Convention for President, only twenty of a difference and requir ing only ten or eleven of a change to have changed the result. It is said, that more than that number of dele gates actually violated their instruc tions for Blaine, while others, like those from our own county, helped to break him down by voting for Grant men to organize, rule and control the convention. Hence the question has arisen, do instructions instruct ? THE Philadelphia Press, in speak ing of the delegates in the Harrisburg State Convention says, among other things, that, "A few men fell by the way." "The powerful influences brought to bear detached several men from their duties and their instruc tions, etc." We are eorry to have it to say, that the delegates from this county are re ported among those who "fell by the way," and were "detached from their duties and their instructions." They are reported as voting with the Grant men in the organization of the Con vention, which no Blaine delegate could honorably and justly do without violating his instructions and without injuring his cause. Our county Com mittee instructed Messrs. Greer, Mc- Kee and Fiedler, "to use all honora ble means to secure the nomination of Blaine." This they did not do when they voted with the Grant delegates for a Grant Chairman of the Conven tion as against the candidate proposed by the friends of Blaine. Much very often depends on who is Chairman in a close contest, as by his rulings and decisions he can turn matters to the advantage of friends or disadvantage of opponents. Who Obey? John I. Gordon. Esq., of Mercer, and Thomas Robinson, Esq., of this place, are the delegates from this con gressional district to the Chicago Na tional Convention that meets in June next to nominate the Republican can didate for President. They had both been previously appointed by their respective County Committees and were both instructed for Blaine. These instructions, in the opinion of all disin terested Republicans, are still binding upon them, the action of the State Convention, in instructing them other wise, to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Robinson is on record as to the soundness and right of this principle, to wit, that a State Convention has no power to reverse or ignore the wishes and action of a Congressional district in its choice for President in the National Convention. And in fact the late State Convention recognizes the justice of the principle by recognizing the delegates named by the counties .in .six or eight districts as the dele gates to go to the National Conven tion.- This being the case we will see how Mr. Robinson will act at Chicago. He professed to be strong for Blaine when appointed here and if he is- true to his own doctrine be must vote for j Blaine when be gets there. True, i there are uot many who believe he will do so. They argue his future by his past, and say that as lie has here tofore betrayed and misrepresented 1 the people of this county he will do so again. They thiuk that it is "chronic" with him to do so. But in this case, with the whole three counties of this district, Butler, Mercer and Crawford, instructing their delegates to Chicago for Blaine, we cannot believe those in structions will be violated in the Na tional Convention, and the more par -1 ticularly as the whole proceedings at the late Harrisburg State Convention > show that the so-called "unit rule'' is a trap, anti-republican in principle and not to be respected, and in fact was not respected. Besides, the ride in our National Conventions expressly allows a delegate to vote the voice of the particular district of a State he may represent, regardless of any as sumed power outside of his constit uents to give him instructions dif ferent from what they have given him. The Republicans of this county will therefore watch closely to see what will be the outcome of this matter. Mr. Gordon, we believe to be an honorable man, and one who will faithfully carry out the feelings and instructions of his own county of Mer cer as well as of this and Crawford counties. They all instructed lor Blaine for President, and did and will assert their right to be directly rep resented in the National Convention. This right they asserted by naming their delegates ■to the National Con vention, two of whom were finally agreed upon among themselves as the delegates to represent the district. Other districts in the State claim the same right, and the National Repub lican Convention will recognize that right. _ County Finances for 1879. The County Auditors' Report, of the Receipts and Expenditures of the County for last year, perhaps should have a more extended notice than given last week. For ten years past ' we have been urging that a more itemized or detailed account should be given the people of the couuty of their finances. Last year the Auditors rec ommended a more detailed report by the County Commissioners,particularly in the matter of bridges, and the good result of this is, that this year we have given us an itemized statement of the bridge account for the past year. This is the commencing that will likely and should lead to the itemizing of the other expenditures of the county. There is no reason why it should be confined to bridges. The taxpayers want a detailed statement of all bills and claims, for which warrants of the county were issued and redeemed. By looking at the "Amount of Warrants Redeemed" it will be noticed that there are other items, such as the "Printing," "Fox Scalps," "Interest," "Borrowed Money," etc., that the tax pavers are much interested in. Our county report has not been as full as that given by other counties, and we therefore hope, as we say, that this year's report is but the commencing of the getting out of the old rut and the giving in the future of more detailed re ports. The Meaning of It. The proceedings of the Republican State Convention will be found in another place. While a bare majority of the delegates were induced to vote for an expression in favor of Grant, yet the vigorous fight made by the friends of Blaine, and the closeness of the vote, render it noi only no triumph but actually damaging to the cause of Grant. All who understand the mat ter know and see that Pennsylvania was and is for Blaine, and would have said so if the people had got fair play. The meaning of the whole thing, there fore, is not Grant, but a triumph of Senator Cameron. Allegheny county turned the scale, while we have not the slightest doubt that two-thirds of her Republicans are to-day in sym pathy with the Republicans of other western counties. But her Republican masses were not permitted to be heard. Such things must have an end and soon will. One more such victory for the machiue politicians and they will broken up and undone. Republican State Convention. HARRISBIRU, Feb. 4.—The Republi can Stale Convention met in the Op era House to-day, and was palled to or der at noon by Col. Hooten, Chairman of the State Central Committee. In ac cordance with the programme arranged at the caucus last night, S. 11. Miller, of Mercer county, nominated Russell Errett, of Pittsburgh for temporary chairman. Gen. Albright moved that the name of Geo. V. Lawrence, of Washington county, be substituted for that of Errett. A vote resulted in the election of Errett, he receiving 158 to 92 for Lawrence. A comtnittee on resolutions was ap pointed, consisting of one member from each Senatorial district. Committies were also appointed on contested seats and permanent organi zation. John Cessna offered a resolution that a committee of nine be appointed to report, subject to the approval of the convention, a list of delegates with their alternates to the Chicago conven tion, and a list of electors, after consult ing with delegations from various dis tricts. Mr. Stewart, of Franklin, offered an • amendment as follows: Resolved, That a committee of one be appointed from each Congressional District, whose duty it will be to re port to the Convention the uaiues of four delegates at large to the National Convention, and two electors at larjre; 1 that it will be the duty of the commit tee to report also a list of district dele- < gates to the National Convention who 1 are to be chosen by delegates from the < resiptetttvß fltetrict?, induing jn'tJtf&M Jittfcber (£it£a«»: ®atLec, Pa., It, tSSfI. ■ i report the names of those persons who ■! have already been chosen a-> delegates i from their respective districts by the action of the people thereof. Both of these resolutions, however, were with » drawn, and the convention took a re ' cess for one hour. Mr. Stewart spoke earnestly in favor of his amendment, basing his argu-, ment on the fact, as he put it, that the - Convention had no more right to nom ' inate delegates to the Chicago Conven- i . tion than it has to select Congressmen , to represent the people of each district. ! The amendment <>f Mr. Stewart was " lost bv 100 to 150, and then the reso : Ititiou as originally offered was i adopted. . The following resolution was then I introduced by Mr. Herr: Resolved, That the delegates elected j 1 to the Republican National Conven- 1 tion from this State are hereby in - structed to support for the Presidential f nomination Gen. I . S. Grant, and to vote as a unit on all questions that may come before the convention. Mr. Stone, of Crawford, offered the following amendment: Resolved, That while we pledge our selves to support the Republican party, we see no good reason for abandoning the position taken by the party in our own and other States in 187<> of oppo sition to a third Presidential term, and i rea":rm the resolution passed by our I State Convention held in this city in ISTf, upon this question. Mr. Stone, after arguing strongly in ' favor of this amendment to the resolu- I tion of instruction, finally withdrew it, • and Strang, of Tiopa, offered another one, to-wit: To strike out the name, of U. S. Grant and insert James G. Blaine. On a \ ote by yeas and nays Strang's I amendment was lost—9s to 154—sev • eral of the Blaine people voting against it on the ground that it was not proper to instruct the delegation for any one. The question then recurred on tie orig inal resolution, or rather that part of it which instructed the Chicago delegates i to vote for Grant. Again the yeas and nays were ordered and showed a vote , of 133 iu favor of and 113 against that portion of the resolution. The second portion of the resolution, instructing the delegation to vote as a unit, was then adopted by a viva voce vote. P The committee on permanent organ ' ization reported and A. <i. Olmstead 1 was made permanent chairman. Nominations for Auditor General being in order, the names of John A. Lemon and J. A M. Passuiore, were 1 placed before the convention and a re i cess was then taken until 7.30. Upon reassembling the yeas and nays were taken on the nomination for Auditor General; and Lemon was de clared the choice of the convention— -158 to 93. The nomination was made unanimous. The Committee to name delegates to the Chicago Convention and to name Presidential Electors made a report, which was adopted. The following are the delegates at large: Matthew S. Quay, James Mc Manes, Linn Bartholomew, Christo pher L. Magee ; electors at large, Ed mnnd A. Benson, Ilenry W. Oliver. 1 Hon. Henry Green was unanimously nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court. The following resolutions were adopted: Resolved, First. That rejoicing over the steady growth of National pros perity, Which began in 1870 with a change of balance in our favor, and over the successful resumption and maintenance of specie payments, we may reasonably claim the financial soundness and prosperity of the countrv as a natural result of the finan cial policy we, as a party, have sus tained. Second—The resumption of specie payments having been accomplished at the time appointed by law, and the finances of the country being in a thor oughly healthy condition, we regard it as unwise to engage in any new at tempts at financial legislation. The country is prosperous under our finan cial system as it is, and we know of no good reason why that system should now be disturbed. Third—Persistent efforts of free tra ders to destroy onr traffic piecemeal by legislation to repeal the duties on spec ial articles admonishes us of the neces sity of adhearing more strongly than ever to the tariff policy of the past twenty years, which has built up our grand system of manufactures, fostered the revenues of the Govern ment, and promoted our National pros perity. The business of the country will not bear this tinkering of the tar iff, and if any revision of this tariff is 1 to be made at all, should be done after thorough hearing of all parties to the interests involved. Fourth—We object most decidedly to all the attempts to enact a new tar iff through the agency of commercial I treaties. A treaty framed, negotiated, 1 discussed, and ratified in secret is not ; a proper method of regulating revenue ' of the Government. Fifth—lu view of recent events in , Congress, and in the Southern States, j and latterly in the State of Maine, we j deem this a fitting opportunity to reaf- j ' firm our adherence to the following prin- j ciples, viz.: First, uniou of States with > eqOal rights, indestructible by any un- I constitutional measure ; second, protec- i tion to persons, liberty, and property of | citizens of the United States in each and ! j every portion of our country wherever he may chose to move, demanding of ■ him only obedience to the law and | proper respects for the rights of others ; I third, strict integrity in fulfilling all ! our obligations, State and National ; j fourth, the perfect security of free 1 ( thought, free speech, and free press, and of equal rights and privileges to all men everywhere, irrespective of nation- j ality, color, or religion ; fifth, a free and , pure ballot, thoroughly protected so that every man entitled to cast a vote j may do so, just one at each election, : without fear of. molestation, moral or | physical, on account of his political j faith, nationality, or hue of his skin : 1 j sixth, honesty in elections. The poo-! pie having virtue and patriotism to govern themselves, our Government: * must depend for its stability upon hon- j est elections. Until a man is considered j infamous who casts an illegal vote, our j Government will not lie safe, and who- j ever deprives a citizen of his right to j •vote, or of the legal effect of vote, is a • traitor to our government; seventh, au honest count of all votes legally cast, and an honest return of whoever is elected free from all attempts to defraud . the people of their choice through tech- 11 nicalities or by an arbitrary rejection of i their votes. Sixth—We extend to the Republi cans of Maine our congratulations upon their peaceful and successful resistance h to all the efforts to defraud the people tl 9? tfcw J>t»tv <4 the riyht to cijoao a own representatives, and to attempt to , steal the government of that State. ' Our Republican form of government 1 will be a signal failure when any polit ical party can succeed in defying the public will as shown by the people at i the ballot box. Seventh—Wedeeply regretthe arrow ing tendencv to throw elections aside on mere technicalities. The right of the people to choose their public ser | vants is too sacred to be subverted \ upon any pretext that the returns of j elections are deficient in some trivial matters of form. Eighth—We thank our Senators and Representatives at Washington in the last Congress and in this for their firm adhesion to Republican principles and policy, and for their opposition to l>em i ocratic schemes to renew the obsolete ' doctrine of State rights and to cripple the Government by withholding needed appropriations in order to coerce legis lation repealing all National laws that protect the safety of the ballot box. Resolved, That the chairman of the republican State Committee is hereby instructed and required to carefully ex amine whether any person to-day placed on the electoral ticket be legally disqualified from any cause from serv ing as an elector, and in case any such legal disability be found the State Committee shall substitute another name from the same Congressional dis trict. Resolutions indorsing the adminis tration of Gov. Hovt and providing for the selection of a State Central Com mittee were also contained in the plat form, and adopted with it. After appointing a State Committee the convention adjourned sine die. Com ill (mirations. An Explanation. Messrs. Editors. —As I have been requested to make some explanation regarding the traveling expenses of the Commissioners, as itemized in the Auditors' Report published in the county papers, 1 will state that the item of #26.43 under the head of "Amounts of Warrants Redeemed," should be in the Bridge Account un der the head of "Miscellaneous," and be charged to Mr. Gribben.

They had better fall back on Jeff. Davis and Bob Toombs. MR. JOHN SCHLEYER. the proprietor of the Chilton. Wis., Volksbote. a pro ! {rressive German weekly, gratified us with the following: I With pleasure I add my testimonial j to the many already given in favor of ST. JACOBS OIL, which 1 had occasion to test personally. I suffered extreme pains in the back of my neck, which were almost unbearable. Having heard of ST. JACOBS 011. I dispatched one of 11»y men h> the nearest drug >tori\ pro cured a bottle, and commenced to apply it at once. The pain subsided, and on the next mornihg i was all right again. A Lady's Wish. "Oh, how I do wish my skin was as clear and soft as yours," said a lady to her friend. "You can easily make it so," answered the friend. "How ?" inquired the first lady. "By using Hop Bitters, that makes pure rich blood and blooming health. It did it for me, as you observe." Consumption Cured. An old physician retired from practice, hav ins had placed in his hands bv an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent i'ure for I Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, and all Throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of eases, lias felt it his dutv to make it known to his suffering fellows.
