THE country seems ablaze with ex citement regarding the election, yet the best of feeling prevails. S. H MILLER and George A.

The at tendence to-day will be large, unless bad weather prevents. CAMPAIGN subscriptions to the CITIZEN came in rapidly, and now come gome new regular ones. Let our frinds continue their good efforts. There is room for more. GARFIELD and Arthur marching clubs are being formed all over this county, regularly equipped with capes, caps, lanterns, etc. Prospect and Franklin township, is the latest one we have heard from. THE Democrats crowed a little too soon over the Maine election. First news are not always reliable. Latest news seem to give the Governor to the Republicans and three of the five members of Congress. THE difficulties heretofore existing in the Republican party of Crawford county, have been amicably adjusted. The Roberts wing have secured the county Committee, and therefore the party organization, on the one hand, and on the other the name of Mr. Miller for Congress has been raised by all the Republican papers of the county. HON. CHARLES KOONCE died at his residence in Clarksville, Mercer coun ty, Pa., on last Friday, 17th inst., aged 74 years. Having served two years in our Legislature with Mr. Koonce, ses sions of 1864 and '65, and having en joyed his entire confidence and friend ship althrough the same, we cannot withhold a word of tribute to his char acter. He was a man of as sterling honesty as we ever met. Any measure of doubtful legislation, cr that was not strictly in the interests of the gen eral community, always received his vigilant attention and opposition. As a legislator he was therefore a most val uable and useful man. Added to this was the possession of that rare quality known as good common sense, which made his counsel always sought for. A practical knowledge of business in all the affairs of life seemed to have been a study with him, and was pos sessed by him in an unusual degree. Of him, as we knew him, it may truly be said a good and useful man has gone to rest. The people of Mercer county have lost a good citizen. CONGRESSMAN BELTZ HOOVER, of the XlXth Pa. District, is now shelved with Wade Hamptr n for telling tales out of school, in the following letter to a constituent: HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, "> Washington, D. C., April 23.1880.} DEAR Slß —Your favor has been re ceived. I would moßt cheerfully intro duce and urge the passage of a bill such as you suggest, but with the pres ent Democratic House, pension bills do not have much favor. It has become almost impossible to get consideration of such a bill at all, and when consider ed its chance of passing the House is very remote ; and the Rebel General who is at the head of the Pension Committed in the Senate is still more averse to allowing any such bills to pass. It would not be at all probable, therefore, that the bill will be got through. Very truly, F. E BELTZHOOVER. Beltzhoover, it may be well enough to add, is a Democrat; and for the above honest confes-sion his party now threatens to repudiate him. Nor is there and doubt about the genuine ness of the letter, because the editor of the Carlisle Herald has the original in bis possesion. Next to Wade Hamp ton's speech, it is the best Republican campaign document yet. * MEETING AT MONROEVIL LE. There will be a Republican meeting and torch light procession at Monroe viile, Buffalo township, on Friday September 24, at 7 o'clock, p. m. All Republicans are invited to attend. Able speakers will be present. By order, Thomas Brown, Committeeman. MEETING AT PETROLIA.. There will be a rousing Republi can meeting at Petrolia, on to-morrow, Thursday, 23d, in both day aiid night time. A number of marching clubs are expected to be in line. It v\ ill be a grand meeting. Thomas M. Mar shall, S. H. Miller. J. I) McJunkin, John M. Thompson and George W. Fleeger, Esqs., will address the meet ing. SETTLES IT. . Somebody has taken the trouble to ascertain the sizes of the hats worn by the Presidential and Vice Presiden tial candidates. Garfield, 7F; Han cock, 7|; Arthur, 7F ; English, 6|. A total of 15 inches of Republican head and hat, against a total of inches Democratic ditto, ditto. That ought to settle the vexed Presidential muddle without further argument.— Ex. CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION MADE. The result of the work of the refer ees at Franklin last week was the nom ination of Samuel 11. Miller, Esq., of Mercer county as the Republican can didate in this district. This result was reached on Thursday the 16th inst., the umpire, Mr. Dickey, deciding in fa vor of Mercer county. On motion of Dr. Crawford, the referee of Mr. Mc- Junkin for this county, the nomina tion of Mr. Miller was made unani mous. And thus this matter, after a protracted struggle, ends, and Mr Mil ler is the successful man. All parties having agreed to the mode of settle ment, all are consequently in honor bound to acquiesce. Mr. Miller's name will therefore be found in the ticket at the head of our paper this week. He has the ability to make a usefull member of Congress and to properly represent the interests of this large and wealthy district, a thing certainly very desir able. In no district of the State is there a more intelligent people or one whose interests need more attention in the halls of legislation. To represent it in Congress is an honor that any man should be proud of and should inspire him to the use of his best efforts. From our knowledge of the energy and char acter of Mr. Miller we have no doubt that he will feel ambitious to serve the whole district faithfully and well, and thus leave behind him a record that will serve him in the future. Be ing finally nominated by an amicable arrangement, and not by the arbitrary interference of a State Committee or any body assuming power in the premises, has proven all for the better and makes the nomination the more ac ceptable to all. NO SENATE NOMINATION. Another conference in this Senato rial district was held at Parker last Friday. No nomination it seems was made, but on the contrary the confer ence is reported as having adjourned without day. This matter therefore is in a very critical position. No par ticular attention has been given it so for, the Congress question seeming to absorb all interest. But now the Congress nomination is settled. Dur ing its pendency it was not unusual to hear fears expressed as to the danger of losing a member of Congress. But it looks to us as if there were more fears of losing a member of the State Senate. And in the opinion of many this latter would be the more serious loss of the two. It is said the State Central Committee will be appealed to for a decision between the candi dates of the two counties, Armstrong and Butler. If this is done at the sug gestion of the two candidates, and by their agreement, then no body has a right to complain, or call in question the authority of the State Committee to interfere. But if it is not done at the request of the candidates then the State Committee has no jurisdiction, whatever. No rule or practice has ever given that Committee any such power, and we presume never will. Nothing could be more likely to des troy hannany and success in any dis trict than for the State Committee to assume authority and arbitrarily de cide between candidates. If there is not sense anough among candidates to decide matters among themselves, as was done in the Congressional matter, then friends or the constituents of can didates may interfere, but never an outside party, unless specially asked to do so. It would be simply tyranny to do so, as well as disrespectful to the people, who are the source of all power. The idea of a State Commit tee setting aside the rules and practice in any district, merely through favorit ism, would not be tolerated for a mo ment. It would strike a deadly blow at fair play, besides setting a precedent and making a practice that could not do otherwise than work great injury to any party. We could not do so un manly and unfair an act as to recog nize a State Committee's interference in a local matter of nomination in this or any other couuty or district of the State. If the parties interested con sent, that makes a different case. If they both do not consent, no such ac tion would be binding. Hainc\cwH.

BETTER NEWS. REPUBLICANS STILL HOLDING THE FORT. All But Six Towns Heard From— Gov. Davis' Plurality Maintained —The Democrats Trying to Figure It. PORTLAND, September 18. —Four hundred and ninety-seven towns give Davis 73,416, Plaisted 73,000, scat tering 338 ; Davis' plurality 41»>. Six towns to hear from gave last year Da vis 61, Smith 27, Garcelon 201, a Fu sion plurality of 167. Deducting that, Davis wi'l have a plurality of 249, which is 89 short a majority, sup posing no further gains or losses. THE LATEST RETLKNS. PORTLAND, September 19. —An Au gusta dispatch says : The election re turns so tar give Gov. Davis a plurali ty of about 200 votes. There are still several towns and plantations to hear from, and there are some discrepan cies in the returns received by tele graph which makes it difficult to as certain the exact result of the elections. It is evident, however, the vote is close, and it is quite probable only the official canvass of the returns will de cide who is elected. BOSTON, September 19.—A Herald special from Portland says : The latest returns received at Democratic head quarters from four hundred aud ninety six towns give Plaisted 73,493, Davis 73,542. The towns to hear from gave in 1879 a Fusion majority of 167. The returns will give Plaisted a plurality of 118, if the towns to be heard from vote as last year. COLD COMFORTS FOR DEMOCRATS. WASHINGTON, September 19.—Gen. Weaver, Greenback nominee for Presi dent, sends the following telegram to Gen. Plaisted, at Bangor, Maine: I congratulate you on the grand fight you have made in Maine for the National Greenback-Labor party. It will inspire our friends with confidence and strengthen them for the great bat tles which remain to be fought. I hope you are elected. It is most amusing to see the Democratic leaders masquerad ing behind the Greenback party, and calling our victory a Democratic boom. They fail to tell the public that you were nominated as a straight Green backer aud that the Democrats could not have carried the State by 40,000. They fail also to state that they re quested you to make pledges to them when they gave you their endorse ment, and that you peremptorily de clined i That their State Central Com mittee subsequently demanded pledg es of you and upon your second refusal the said committee requested you to withdraw as a candidate, and that you declined to do that also. The Demo crats in Maine showed their good sense by voting the Greenback ticket. Let us all rejoice. JAMES B. WEAVER. RIGHTS OP COUNTIES. We are informed that tbo controll ing point, with the umpire chosen to decide upon our Congressional nomi nation, was what he conceived to be i the rights of the different counties to the present one, and in this view the scales seemed to turn in favor of Mer cer county. While the thretf counties, Mercer, Butler and Crawford, all had a candidate since the formation of the district, and would therefore seem to have stood upon an equal footing as regards the present one, yet the fact that the'two counties of Butler and Crawford each had a candidate since the one had by Mercer, and that there fore by rotation the turn was around to Mercer again, could not be disputed, and was not disputed from the first; the only point being whether, under the circumstances, that fact should control the present, and probably the last nomination to be made in the dis trict, as now formed. There is always great difficulty in settling questions of this kind, where three or more counties may compose a district. When there are but two counties in any district, then the case is very different, as the nomination goes from one to the other by turns and asa matter of course, unless they are very unequal in size,pop ulation, party strength, or something of that nature. The mere fact of it being the turn of a couuty, when there are but two, always has and must control, or else there is an end to harmony and success. And in the late Congressional contest of this district we have no doubt.the rotation question has great weight, although three counties were interested. Added to this, in Mr. Mil ler's favor-, was the argument made that there was more unanimity in his county for him than there was for the other candidates in their counties. On this point we have but a word to say now. The unusual and unfair course pursued here by a certain paper pro fessing to be Republican cannot be forgotten. After nominations are made at our primaries, unless they are submitted to when made there is an eud of all party discipline. To refuse to raise any name nominated is bidding defiance to the Republican party and its will as expressed at the primary. Yet this is what was done ou the Congressional nomination of this coun ty. The successful candidate's name was not raised in the paper controlled by his unsuccessful opponent. And this too after the Couuty Committee had twice acted upon the fairness of the nomination made at the primary. There was then no open or uudecided question left as to the regularity of the nomination. All that was settled. But still a Republican paper did not put up all the names nominated by the people. This sets a precedent, and will reljeve the party from supporting th >se in the future who have reused to be bound by the nominations made in the past. What is sauce for the goose is said to be good enough sauce for the gan. der. Those who defy the party one , year cannot expect the same party to I forget that and support them the next J year. In the late case of Congress the excuse was less, and the outrage the greater, for the reason that it was striking at one of our own citizens in favor of a citizen of another county. It is no use to hold primaries and have county conventions if all this can be done and go unpunished by the party. It has set a precedent that will have its effect. PRESIDENT HAYES, in his speech at Canton O.last week, alluded to the gen eral prosperity in business which has been manifested in every part of the country, and gave some interesting figures which all should study—and especially those, who are clamoring for a change of administration. Fif teen years ago, the share of the na tional debt of each inhabitant of the United States was $78.25, and each person's share of the interest charge was $4. 29. Now it is less than one half for each inhabitant of what it was iu 1865, and the interest charge is only one-third of what it was fif teen years ago. Every voter will be able to understand this argument. It is an argument which appeals to every man's pocket; and those who are not satisfied with the reduction of the immense national debt at this gratifying* rate of progress, will vote for a" "change." By handing the management of financial affairs over to the Democratic party, they will get a "change" which they will feel for some years to come. Our resources are now in a most favorable condition, as shown by the President's figures. For twenty-five years previous to 1875, the balance of trade was against us to the extentof $1,500,000,000—an annual av erage excess of imports of more than $60,000,000. During the past five years, the balance of trade in our favor has been $921,179,8-28. or a yearly av erage in our faver of $185,000,000. Judge Black on Garfield. "I have had no desire to add any thing to my published letter to Blaine. What I said thep of him was true and is true. With regard to the Credit Mo bilier transaction, I have said, and al ways will say, that I believe that General Garfield told me the truth about it. He would not do anything else. I watched the development of the investigation, and I saw nothing in that to alter my opinion. I will tell you General Garfield's hands were clean in that transaction, as he always has kept them, but he unfortunately adopted the false defense of those who were guilty and who expected Oakes Ames to swear them through, iu stead of standing on his own true and good defense and leaving the guilty to their fate. There was his devotion to party. It was urged upon him as a party necessity, and he yielded to that consideration, as he always will. His party demanded the sacrifice as he made it. For that reason the Credit Mobilier has not hurt him with his party, and will not and ought not. I believe firmly iu General Garfield's personal integrity, and I base my judgment upon an intimate knowl edge of his private walk aud conver sation." Judge Jeremiah S.Black is one of the leading Democrats of the United States.-—//iteTMWtp in Philadelphia Press. A Tariff for Revenue Only. "Subscriber" wished to know the meaning of "a tariff for revenue only.". There ought to be no misapprehension in the minds of voters as to the exact significance of this phrase. Jt is the one distinctive article in the Democrat ic creed which contemplates a change in the present policy of the Govern ment and makes a direct issue with the Republicans. The latter declare "that the duties levied for that purpose of revenue should so discriminate as to fayor American labor." A careful reading of the contrasted plank* of the two platforms will indicate thejr radi cal difference at once. They both take the position that the object of a tariff is to raise revenue. The Democrats go further and say this should be the only object. Their policy is to encourage importations regardless of their effect upon existing American industries. The object being to got as large a rev enue as possible, such rates only would be imposed as the foreign goods could pay aud still hold the American mar ket against home productions. This is a Democratic tariff aud is what the Cincinnati Convention meant by its declaration for a tariff for revenue only. A tariff formed on the principle adopted by the Republican National Convention of 1860, and endorsed by each subsequent Convention of that party, aims, while providing adequate revenue for the Government, to fur nish incidental protection to Ameri can industry. This mav necessitate, in some instances, a partial sacrifice of revenue, but experience has demon strated that a tariff can be both pro tective and furnish a revenue such as the free trade doctrinaries in the days of their ascendency never dreamed. It may be as to some particular things almost prohibitory iu order to secure the home market for a new industry, which could not otherwise sustain it self. Such high rates arc, however, but temporary aud exceptional. The ruling cousideration of a protective tariff is to enable American manufactures to com pete with the foreign product, notwith standing the cheaper labor entering into the production of the latter. Under the beneficent influence of this policy, mines have been opened, furnaces erected, mills constructed and every form of manufacturing industry for which our country is adapted has been enabled to gain a foothold. The deleterious influence of a protective tariff has been steadily preached to us by English free-trader , and their lam entation* 1 have been faithfully re echoed by American Democrats. Yet the twenty years since the adoption of our present tariff system has been the era of our greatest industrial and ag ricultural r ', 1 elopineut. The English manufacturers, who see themselves cut out of the American market, and who find American goods competing with their own in foreign markets, are anxious to convince the American public that its protective tariff is the ruin of the country.— Philadephia Press.

DEMOCRATS AND PENSIONS. WHAT THE OFFICIAL RECORDS SHOW. Mr. Beltzhoover's letter tells us how the Democratic Congress feels about Union pensions. What is its feeling about Confederate pensions ? Let the record answer. On the 28th of February, 1879, the bill to provide for the payment of ar rears of pensions was before the Sen ate. Mr. Mitchell moved to add the following: Provided, further, That no person who served in the Confederate army during the late war ot" the rebellion, or held any office, civil or milita ry, in the late Confederacy, shall be entitled to receive any pension under this act. The amendment excluding the Con federates from pension privileges was defeated by the solid Democratic vote, as follows: FOR IT, 24— ALI. REPUBLICAN'S. Allison, Dawes, Morriil, Anthony P.irsey, O'lesby, Blaine, Edmunds. Plutnb, Booth, Ferry, Rollins, Cameron, Pa., Howe, Saunders, Cameron, Wis., Jones, Nev., Spencer, Chandler, Matthews, Teller, Conkling, Mitchell, Windoin. ALI A INST IT, 26—ALL DEMOCRATS BUT TWO.

Davis, W. Va., Lamar. But the record did not stop there. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, mov ed to add the following: Provided further, That no pension shall ever be paid under this act to Jefferson Davis, the late President of the so-called Confederacy. And the vote on this amendment was as follows : FOR IT, 23— ALL REPUBLICANS. Allison, Coukliug, Morrill, Anthony, Dawes, Oglesby, Biaiue, * Edmunds, Plumb, Booth, Ferry, Rollins, Bruce, Howe, Saunders, Cameron, Pa., Jones, Xev., Teller, Cameron, Wis., Matthews, Windom, Chandler, Mitchell. AGAINST IT, 21— ALL DEMOCRATS ILL T ONE. Bailey, Garland, McCreery, llarnuin, Gordon, McPherson, Beck, Grover, Maxy, Cockrell, Harris, Morgan, Coke, Hereford, Patterson, R Davis, W. Va., Jones, Fla., Ransom, Eaton, Lamar, Thurman, Mr. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, who voted against the general exclusion of Conft derates, seems to have .skulk'd on this vote for the exclusion of Jeff. Davis. But the general record of his party is the same on both questions; it is against denying pensions to Confed erates. Oh, yes, Mr. Beltzhoover is right; "the rebel general who is at the head of the Pension Coramittoo jn the Senate is still more averse to allowing any such hills—Union pension bills—to pass;" but he and his Democritic as sociates are not averse to ponsioas fop Confederates, A WASHINGTON dispatch to the Now York Evening Post recalls the fact that the record of defalcations of ofllceholders In all departments of the Government, as brought down to date, shows that under the present Admin istration scarcely an appreciable frac tion of the public moneys fails by fraud to reach the treasury, aud be disbursed again. Under Washington's administration the ratio of loss by de falcations was 52.22 ii) every sl,tloG. It rose under Jackson to $7.5 J, and reached its maximum under Van Buren, sll 71. The Republican administra tions during and since the war have greatly reduced the ratio. Under Grant's first administration it was only thirty-four cents for one thousand dollars, and thijs far under President Hayes's adminiatration it had amount* ed to ouly one.balf of one cent in every thousand dollars. The Author of "The Fcol's Erzaud" Ad iresses a Large Audicaco. ERIE, PA., Sept. 18.—The largest outpouring of the people of Erie in this campaign greeted Hon. A. W.

Pormerly an instructor in this city he is well and favorably known, and his utterances in regard to his practical knowledge of the "solid south" fell upon ears anxious to hear the North Carolinian they believed. The meeting was presided over bv Hon. James Sill, who in a few .veil' timed remarks prepared the vast audi ence for this able expose of the issues involved, and profound attention by the most cultured audience ever seen in Erie at such a gathering evinced the deep interest felt. The effort will bp productive of much good. Speak ing from intimate relations with Chester A. Arthur, the eloquent trib> ute paid him as well as James A, Garfield was timely and welcome. Potatoes and Buokwheat. WASHINUTON, September I(s.—The Department of Agriculture has made up a report on the potato crop from advices received to September Ist. The i report states that in the United States the yield will be about 8 per cent less than the crop in 1879. Maine shows the lowest average and Pennsylvania the highest of the Atlantic States. In the latter State the average is 05 and in New York 93, In Michigan, Wis consin and Minnesota the average it* over 100, but in Indiana, Illinois, Mis. souri, lowa and Kansas tho average has decreased to 90, and Arkansas to G9, and little over a half crop. In regard to buckwheat, the report says that iu the New England States, Maine and Vermont show a smaller average than last year. In New York and Pennsylvania, which grow abou two.thirds of t|je whole prop of the United States, the crop, aa compared with that of last year, shows a slight falling off in the average. Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, the States that grow a greater portion of the crop west of the Alleghenies, exhibit a consider able higher average than last year. Tho investigation of the wheat crop this month is preleminary, and relates to the quantity and quality, and does not take into consideration the increase of acreage. These are found to be about 2 per cent, less than last year. New I'alMly filutwH, New Beaver Shawls, Worsted Shawls, Black Woolen Shawls, Black Thibbet Shawls, Fancy Colored Shawls.
