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.

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.

Editors Citizen —l see that Com
missioner Gribben has not signed the
Auditors' Report for 1879. Will he
be kind enough to explain why he did
not sign it ? If two Commissioners
are enough to certify so important a
document, why not dispense with
the third one '! Or, if the report is un
satisfactory, or it contains any crook
edness, let those gentlemen who are
interested arise and explain, and con
fer a lavor on taxpayers.
