CBOWDED OCT. —Several matters of importance have been crowded out of the CITIZEN this week, owing to the demand upon our columns. We hope to be able to insert some of them next week. THERE are some nine hundred cases on the docket of the United States Supreme Court, that met at Washing ton City on Monday last, and in these are included the test Mormon polygamy cases and the Kentucky and Louisiana lotteries. COL. R. B. MCCOMB, of New Castle, who two years ago was an active and influential speaker and worker in the then Greenback party of Lawrence county, has recently written an able letter in behalf of Republican principles and the success of the Republican party in the present campaign. CHABLES A. SULLIVAN, ESQ.; of this place, done some of the effective speaking for the Republicans of the Btate of Indiana during the heated contest just closed in that State. He spoke to large audiences in some of the principal cities of the State, and at the city of Columbus, Ohio, last Saturday on his return East. DAVID KIBK, ESQ., who was born and raised in this county, and who two years ago was the Greenback can didate for Congress in the Pittsburgh district, against Hon. Russell Errett, is the present Greenback and Demo cratic fusion candidate for Congress in the Bradford district, composed of the counties of McKean, Potter, Tioga, Lycoming, etc. S. H. MILLER, ESQ., Republican candidate for Congress in this district, was in town yesterday. He spoke at the Sunbury meeting on Monday even ing and at Fairview on last evening, and will be at the Prospect meeting on Saturday next. He speaks encourage ingly of the look out of matters in the * district, notwithstanding the efforts made against him. A GOOD FARMER. Mr. Lewis Patterson, of Slippery rock township, this county, is a good farmer, as the following concerning his crops of this year, 1880, will prove He had 52 acres of wheat, from which be cleaned 1561 bushels, machine measure. The wheat was in two fields of 26 acres each, the one producing 814 and the other 747 bushels. From three acres alone of one of the fields he threshed 120 bushels. Of oats he had S4 acres in and threshed 2,200 bushels. His com, 27 acres, is not all husked as yet but will yield at the rate af 100 bushels per acre. He clipped 1300 pounds of wool. He has a two-year-old Bteer weighing 2,000 pounds. He put in 60 acres of wheat this fall. The above is a specimen (very good one), of a Butler county farmer, and we doubt if there is any better in any neighboring county. THE Philadelphia Press, in referring to the trouble in making nominations for Congress, in this and other dis trict* of this State, ascribes the cause of the troable to "the unrepublican and anrepresentativ« conferee system in vogue." This is a question in our politics well worthy of prompt and aerious consideration. There is no doubt bat the present conferee system has had much to do with the defeat of former candidates aud is the source of dissatisfaction generally. Where there arc two or more counties composing a district for Congress, State Senate, or anything else, it is argued that it would be better and more sensible to have the nomination made by the people of the whole district at their primaries. That is, that candidates should submit their names in all the counties of the district and trust to the justice and fair dealing of their party friends for an equal distribution of nominations. This would appear to be the only true idea of a district nom ination and would settle all questions of rights by the party of the whole dis trict. As at present, those questions are settled, or attempted to be, by con ferees appointed by the candidates of the different counties of a district, who are responsible only to the candidates and are in honor bound to serve their interest only. The result has been, that these conferees are requested to "stick" to their candidates, right or wrong, with the hope of having some outside party or person called in to de cide the matter. This is now becoming the fashionable way. But the question is, are the people or party of a district making their own nominations? Oris it some other party or people making them ? It is, in truth, a mode of takiDg power from those to whom it rightfully belongs that the sooner it is repudiated the better will it be for all. OHIO AND INDIANA. These States held their elections yesterday for State officers and mem bers of Congress. Being two import ant States in the present political situ ation, and their State elections coming but three weeks in advance of the great pending Presidential election, they have been looked to with the greatest interest. Immense efforts have been made in each of them by both parties. We have no definite results at this writing from either of them. But Ohio we regard as a Republican State and have no doubt we have carried it by the usual majority, if not greater. Four years ago, 1876, she gave Presi dent Hayes some 6,000 majority. Should she now have gone Democrat ic we would regard it as very un favorable for Republican success in November. As to Indiana, we regard it on the other hand as a Democratic State, and look to it as having likely again been carried by the Democrats. If we lose it we will have lost nothing. Should we gain it we will have gained a great deal. Should it be close we will re gard it as favorable to the Republican cause. Four years ago it gave about 6,000 Democratic majority for Tilden. It is one of the States, (New York be ing the other), that is claimed by the Democrats will give them the 47 Northern Elector..! votes, necessary with the "Solid South" for them to elect. Therefore if they lose it, all will be lost. The Republicans can lose it and still elect. But the result then would likely turn upon New York. A few days will likely be necessary to tell exact results in both Ohio and In diana. West Virginia also held a State elec tion yesterday, but as this State has been conceded to the Democrats there is but little interest concerning it. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. October 14—Martinsburg.

THE ELECTIONS YESTERDAY. | W EDNESDAY, Oct. 13.—Reports from Ohio last night indicated that the State had gone Republican by a large majority, and both parties this morn ing are claiming Indiana. STATE SENATE QUESTION. What the Armstrong County Papers and People Say About It. We last week gave a brief, and what : we believe has generally been conceded to have been a fair statement, of the difficulty about the Senate nomination in this district. As it is a question that concerns Armstrong county, the more particularly, we give below what the Kittanning papers and some of the Republicans of that county have to say on the subject. The simple ques tion is, has any nomination been made with her consent, or will her Repub licans ratify matters as they stand ? If thev do not, something should be done at once to save the district from loss. From the below they would seeiu to lie somewhat divided in opinion. The Armstrong Republican of the 6th inst., keeps up the name of Mr. Meredith for the Senate, and says as follows relative to the Pittsburgh meeting of the conferees: "The Senatorial Conferees for this district were called to meet the Umpire, Mr Byrom, at Pittsburgh, on Friday, last for the purpose of making a nom ination for Senator. A meeting was held and several ballots taken with the usual result, when the Umpire stepped in aud voted for Mr. Greer, of Butler. As it was very eyideut from the be ginning that the claims of this county were to be ignored, that the Umpire was completely under the control of Mr. Greer, and his friends, the Con ferees from this county very properly refused to recognize the authority of the Umpire, and would not consent to make the nomination unanimous. So the matter stands as before, aud if this Senatorial district is carried by the Democracy, the Butler people will be responsible for that result. The am bition of Mr. Greer, who expects to be made Speaker of the Senate, if elected, is the cause ol the whole trouble, and we mistake the Republicans of this county if they will permit themselves to be bulldozed out of their just rights to gratify the ambition o f Mr. Greer, or any other man. We will give at tention to this matter more at length next week." The Union Free Press of the 7th inst., has the name of Mr. Greer on the Republican ticket and refers to the Pittsburgh meeting as follows: "The long-pending Senatorial ques tion in the Republican party of this district was Anally settled in Pitts burgh on Saturday last, resulting in the nomination of the Hon. John M. Greer, the present incuml)ent. And whilst this nomination is possibly con trary to the wishes of many Republi cans in this county who have felt all along that Armstrong county was en titled to the man and that in all fair ness Butler county should have con ceded this right; yet, as the matter has been decided otherwise, it is the duty of the party to yield to the decision. Mr. Mer edith was the choice of this county and through his delegates made a manly fight for the place and only yielded at the last when the decision of the umpire was declared against him. Butler county rested its claim upon the fact that usage had allowed two terms, at least, to a representation ; and that although the term had been lengthened in point of time, in the ex tent of actual service it meant no more than heretofore. Armstrong county claimed by right of equality of distri bution and alleged with great force of truth that the lion's share of favors al ways went to Butler county." The Kittanning Times of the Bth inst., which we believe is independent in politics, has this to say: The Senatorial fight in this district was brought to and end on Saturday. The confereea mut at tbe Seventh Av enue Hotel, Pittsburgh, on Friday, and proceeded to ballot, resulting as on previous occasions. An adjourn ment was then taken until Saturday morning, when Byrarn, of the Evening Telegraph, who had been appointed umpire by the chairman of the State Committee, cast his vote for Mr. Greer, of Butler, thus giving him a majority of one. This action on Mr. Byram's part was so unexpected by the Arms.rong county men, that at first they did not know what to do. Mr. Wm. Buffington, one of Mere dith's conferees, and who was chair man of the conference, then refused to announce the result, aud the meeting ended. Mr. Byram, who had beer) in Kittanning but a few days previous, had expressed himself to the effect that Armstrong county was entitled to the nomination aud should have it, ac cordingly his action in Pittsburgh was so extraordinary, it Jeft an impression he had been approached. The result u tar from giving satisfaction to Mr. Meredith and his friends, and in fa„-t to the Bepul.Means of Armstrong coun ty, and Mr. Greer will very likely find out that honest "Uncle" Jake Ziegler, will run in on him in this county greatiy, if he does not have a majority over him. As Butler Gounty had the State Senator the last time, and as Armstrong county had worked well for Mr. Greer, and gave him a hand some majority then, it would have bppi) the right thing for him to have given way this time. However, it is not our fuueral,and we iiaye 90 reason to weep." A republican of Brady's Bend, Armstrong county, writing to the Pittsburgh Dispatch, has t|tis to say on the subject; "As a constant roader of tbe Dis patch, allow me a little space to express my indignation (as weil as that of many other staunch Republicans or Armstrong county) on the selection of the candidate for the State Senate of this district. Mr. Greer was chosen by some hocus-pocifS of the "ring," at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Pittsburgh, on Friday evening last. fie has represented this district for four yetjrs, i»ud, according to a former agreement, the noiuiiiat;i)t} should Jjave been given to Armstrong coijuty. A(r. Greer has openly acknowledged that all the (Jaime he has put forth in his own behalf, were purely selfish™ that Armstrong county was entitled to the candidate —and yet he persistently I refused to step aside and concede the nomination to Mr. Meredith, the regu larly chosen candidate from this eoun tv." The indignation in this locality over Mr. Greer's selection knows no bounds. I have voted the solid Repub lican ticket since 1856, and shall vote ! it straight on the 2nd of November with this single exception Ido not j tt*nd alone by any means, on this | question, as I have talked to a number i of our most prominent party workers j in this place and vicinity, and have yet to find one man who will vote for Mr. Greer. Machine rule has been tolerated by our people just as long as they will stand it, aud I have no hesi tancy in saying that Mr. Greer will be badly beaten, unless the Republicans of Armstrong county have the conced ed right to the representation. There is already some talk of calling a meet ing to enter a protest against this out rage. In any event Mr. Meredith will be petitioned to "stick." '•Beware the votes is November." JUSTICE. BRADY'S BEND, PA., October 5. GARFIELD. Democratic Testimony as to His Good Character. ALLEN G. THURMAN. Oakes Ames swears that Garfield got ten shares and Garfield swears that he did not do anything of the kind. There was a good deal of talk, but no proof against him ; and I am compelled to say that Garfield gets out better than any one else, and, on the whole, there was not sufficient evi dence to fasten corruption at his door. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS. I will tell you whom I think the Republicans should nominate, and whom I consider their strongest man ; he is a true man, a man of principle, an honest man, and would make a good President for us all. Personally I consider him the best man you can nominate. I refer to James A. Gar field, of Ohio. JUDGE JERE BLACK. Your express determination to see that General Garfield shall be defended against all unjust assaults upon his personal character is equally pleasant reading to me, for I have been his devoted friend for many years, and I am resolved that I never will believe that he does not deserve the affection I have bestowed upon him. If he would carry the principles which regu late his private life into his public con duct, he would make the best Chief Magistrate we ever had. ALEX H. STEPHENS, As to the Credit Mobilier matters, with which General Garfield has been charged, I believe he was altogether innocent of them. It will not do for the Democratic party to throw mud at General Garfield, because if they do they will elect him. * * * I am not here to elevate our candidates by dragging down those opposed. Al though T don't think they can ever reach the elevated platform occupied by Hancock and English, I do not wish to engage in this kind of assault. Garfield I have known well since the session of Congress of 1873, and I have always regarded him of irreproachable integrity aud moral character, distinguished for ability and scholarship, and one of the greatest in tellects in the country. I do not op pose him on account of any moral de fect or intellectual incapacity. NEW YORK WORLD. In the midst of the organized car nival of corruption which has been going on now so many weary months and years at Washington it is really satisfactory to catch glimpses now and then of honesty or honesty's sake, and without consideration of party General Garfield, of Ohio, is a Republican of Republicans, but it is his simple due, which we gladly pay him, to admit that he has done more than any other single member of his party, during the present session of Congress, to show that it is not impossible for a man to act with a Congressional ma jority and yet to keep his self-respect and the respect of honest men.
