terday.
HON. HENRY D. FOSTER, of Greens
burg, Westmorland county, Pa., died
on Saturday last, in the 72d year of
bis age. He was an eminent lawyer
and a man who enjoyed the personal
esteem and respect of all who known
him.
Charles A. Sollivan, Esq., of this
place, returned home last Saturday
from Indiana and Ohio, where he had
been doing a good share in the great
triumph the Republicans obtained in
those States at their recent elections.
He spoke in many of the principal
places of each State at the request of
the Chairmen of their State Commit
tees, and always to large and enthusi
astic crowds. His mission and main
topic was the tariff question, and from
all we can learn he succeeded in mak
ing very effective arguments to the
Hoosiers and Buckeyes on that subject.
Coming back he called upon Gen. Gar
field, at Mentor, and spent a short time
with Him and his family, as his guest.
Hiß discription of the General and his
family, and of his whole trip, is very
interesting. He returns as one of the
warriors after a successful battle, bear
ing his full share of the laurels won.
W* had prepared an article in reply
to the extraordinary assumption of
power claimed by the Hon. John Cess
na to be lodged in the State Central
Committee of this State, in regard to
the local Republican nominations of
people, but have concluded to defer its
publication until after the election. He
may rest assured however that his
newly discovered powers, claimed for
this State Committee, will never be
recognized by the Republican people
of the State. His doctrine is as anti-
Republican as it would be dangerous
in precedent, and he is the first Chair
man of a State Committee who has
ever put forth such doctrine. It was al
ways supposed heretofore that all
political power was lodged in the peo
ple, and that a State, or any other
Committee, had no power regarding
the nominations of our party, only
what was given it by rule or consent.
His claim to the contrary, now made
for the first time, should be immedi
ately repudiated.
MEETINGS LAST WEEK.
The Republican meetings held last
week are all reported as being very
good and quite successful.
The meeting at Sunbury was ad
dressed by S. H. Miller, Esq., candi
date for Congress, and General Pur
viance.
That at Fairview by Mr. Miller, R.
P. Scott, Esq., and Mr. S. W. Har
ley.
That at Byrom Centre by Mr. Mil

That at Sandy Hill, Middlesex
township, by J. D. McJunkin, A. G.
Williams and S. F. Bowser, Esq's.
That at Martinsburg by J. M.
Thompson, G. W. Fleeger, S. 11. Mil
ler, S. W. Harley, and A. L. Camp
bell, Esq's.
That at Millerstown by S. H. Mil
ler and Clarence Walker, Esq's.
That at Prospect on Saturday, by J.
D. McJunkin and S. H. Miller in the
day-time and Messrs. Bowser and
Thompson in the evening. This was
one of the largest and finest meetings
yet held in the county. The Prospect
Republicans managed the affair well
and fully provided all the attention and
comforts they promised. Between two
and three thousand people are supposed
to have been present, and everything
off pleasantly and well.
An account oi the meetings to be
held this week will be seen in another
went place.
On Monday evening of this week
there were several meetings held. The
only one of which we have received
an account was that in Clearfield
t iwnship, being the first Republican
meeting ever held in that township. It
was addressed by J. T. Donley and J.
F. I'effer, Esq's. Mr. Donley is said
to have made a speech that may do
some good in that quartpr.
MASS
Convention!!
Ajt BUTLER, on
FRIDAY, October 22nd. 1380.
LET THERE BE A FULL
turn otjt.
Let every Township and Town
in the County be well rep
resented.
This will likely be the only County
gathering of the Republicans of But
ler County this Campaign. Let it
therefore be a rousing Mass Meeting.
AH arrangements possible will be
made for the accommodation of all.
TWO POINTS TO REMEMBER.
In the full flush of the October tri
umphs there are two points which
must be constantly borne in mind. The
result is glorious, but it is not the end.
A victorious army rejoices over the
past, but it turns at once to the future.
Remember, then, these two things :
First, there must be no relaxation of
Republican energy at a single point.
The final victory is clearly within our
grasp, but it is not yet won. The bat
tle goes on, and we must fight with
the same resolute, unconquerable spirit
until the complete victory crowns our
efforts. Our opponents will be dis
heartened ; and yet if their watchful
leaders detect a weak point in our lines,
or find us through over-confidence
abating any of our hard, determined
work, they will take advantage of it.
Nothing but too great a feeling of se
curity can now defeat us. Hencefor
ward Republicans can fight not merely
with the inspiration of a great cause,
but with the enthusiasm of assured
victory, and let the battle be pressed
along the whole line.
Second, it must not be forgotten that
the Democrats have the final count in
their hands. They hold both Houses
of Congress. They see the victory
they had confidently expected slipping
from their grasp ; they are desparate
and there is no telling what they
might do if they could discover a
plausible color of excuse. If the Elec
toral College be closely divided they
may undertake to reject a State and
throw the choice into the House ; or, if
any Republican State have a narrow
margin they may attempt to find some
pretext for refusing to count its vote
There is one way to baffle all such
schemes, and that is to make a majori
ty so emphatic and decisive that even
the most desperate partiaians will not
dare to dispute it.
All patriotic citizens are now inter
ested in securing such a commanding
and unchallenged result. The victory
is ours; let it be made overwhelming.
—Phila. Press.
THE SENATE MATTER.
Lest some of our Republican friends
may not have understood our views
on the Senate trouble in this district,
we desire to say that we have no per
sonal animosity to the gentleman who
claims he has received a good district
nomination. Mr. Greer well knows
that it is not a personal hostility to
him. Four years ago when he was
made the candidate, in a very peculiar
manner, we supported him and urged
our party friends to do so, as he
knows. He was then nominated at a
district conferee meeting of which he
himself was a member. But it was as
a compromise candidate, and was ac
quiesced in by the Republicans of
Armstrong county. Should his present
claimed nomination be again acqui
esced in by Armstrong county we have
nothing further to say. It is their
matter more than ours, and what we
have copied from their papers was in
the interest of fair dealing with a sister
county with which we are connected.
But it is their tight and must now be
settled by them. It was the manner
of the proceeding at Pittsburgh that
has made the common complaint and
that has compelled many to declare
that it was not regular or binding upon
the party. It is charged by the Arm
strong conferees that it was forced
upon them, done over their heads and
without their consent. But if they, or
Mr. Meredith, their candidate, acqui
esces in it, we can have no objection.
We always support the declared nomi
nees of the party. Others, who are
now much interested in this Senate
matter, refused not long since to sup
port a regular nominee for Congress
in this county, but defied the will of
the majority as expressed at the pri
mary election, and refused to raise
upon the ticket the name of the
county s twice declared choice. We,
on the contrary,raised the name of Mr.
Greer for the Senate and his name con
tinues on the ticket as presented by
this county. This we have done not
withstanding the manner of his nomi
nation, and the strong suspicion that
exists that if elected, his vote on the
United States Senator question next
©ufclec Ciisaueis : |J«.* (Djciabjfje 2U, ISSU.
winter will be for a ring candidate, and
not for the choice of this county, Mr.
Grow, or some other good Western
man. And having done this, and now
made known our position, we have
done our duty, and leave the balance
to the Republicans of the county.
RESULTS IN OHIO AND IN
DIANA.
The following results in Ohio and
Indiana are fairly the subjects for a
little crowing:
OHIO,
Gives about 20,000 majority for her
Republican State ticket. And has a
gain of six members of Congress ; Leg
islature and all else also Republican,
and the State sure for Garfield on No
vember 2nd.
i \
INDIANA.
Republican candidate for Governor
elected by about
7 000 MAJORITY.
i A majority of the Congressmen elec
ed also are Republicans, making a
change in the delegation of that State.
A majority of the Legislature also
Republican, thus securing a Republi
can United States Senator in the
of the present Democratic one. The
State is confidently claimed by the
Republicans for Garfield on the 2nd
day of November next.
MR. MILLER'S DENIAL.
In another place of this paper will
be seen an article copied from the Mer
cer Dispatch of the 15th, inst., the
principal organ of the Republicans of
Mercer county. The article relates to
certain charges that have recently been
made against Samuel 11. Miller, Esq.,
the Republican candidate for Congress
in this district. These charges are
made in the form of "An Address to the
Honest voters of the 2fitb Congression
al District of Pennsylvania," which ad
dress is now being circulated through
the district. It is signed by three
gentlemen of the town of Mercer who
claim to be Republicans, Robert A.
Stewart, J. G. Elliott and Johnson
Pearson, Esqs. The charges attack
the personal and political integrity of
Mr. Miller. One of them is supported
by an affidavit. They are not publish
ed in the Republican press of the dis
trict, and to any one not seeing them
their nature can only be gathered from
the article we copy that answers and
denies them. This answer and de
nial has the sanction of Mr. Miller,
and many therefore be received as his
own. It will be seen that he positive
ly and emphatically denies all the
charges mfide. And he claims that
they are the work of his personal and
political enemies. This throws the
burden of proof upon the parties mak
ing the charges. Mr. Miller occupies
an important relation to the Republi
can party at present. We all know
the necessity for the election of all Re
publican candidates for Congress this
year. If there is any trouble to come
after this Presidential election it may
come through and from the present
Democratic Congress. The import
ance of securing a Republican ma
jority in the next Congress cannot be
over estimated, for more reasons than
one. Mr. Miller has the ability to
make an efficient and successful mem
ber for this district. Considering the
importance of this office we therefore
deem it a duty to say to all, not to be
too hasty in believing the charges
made. He is entitled to the full sup
port of his party unless very satisfac
tory evidence is given to the contrary.
For ourselves, we have been support
ing him ever since his nomination was
made, and intend to continue our sup
port of him. We feel in honor bound
to do so, as well as recognizing the
importance politically of electing a Re
publican to Congress from this district.
329.
Some people cannot help being
sneaks. They were born so, and all
their associations since have only more
fully developed this characteristic.
Being sneaks they choose the night for
their work, whether to rob a henroost,
or to insult their neighbors, for a sneak
is always a coward. The midnight
sneaks who chalked the figures "329"
on the pavements and doorsteps of
Sharon on Wednesday night are no
exceptions to this rule. They would
do any contemptible deviltry they
could find—if they thought they would
not be caught at it. Down south,
where they could have plenty of com
panionship, they would be the very
foremost of masked sneaks, whipping
and otherwise maltreating defenseless
negroes, because they voted the Re.
publican ticket. Our Sharon sneaks,
however, would confine their attention
to the women and children ; and only
then when they greatly outnumbered
the latter. As to its political effect, |
we hope they will keep up their dirty j
work until the d..m>felection ; it will be j
better than a torch-light procession to
get out the full Republican vote in
Sharon.— Sharon Iferald.
[From t he Mercer Ri-pnteh, Oct. 15,]
A ROORBACH.
On Saturday last a most malicious,
malignant and lying address was
started in circulation through the 20th
Congressional district forthe purpose of
defeating the Republican candidate for
( ougress and aiding the election of
Caldwell, the Democratic candidate. It
is well known that Caldwell is very
wealthy, and for the past two weeks
certain parties have been negotiating
with Demecratic leaders in this and
Crawford counties, offering for a valu
ble consideration, to do all in their
power to defeat Miller. At last it was
decided to issue and address purporting
to come from Republicans and get as
many persons to sign it as possible.
WHO PREPARED THE ADDRESS.
The address was prepared last
week in the office of a leading Demo
crat of Mercer, 1 Pierce," Magoffin,
GilI a spie, chairman of the Democratic
county committee, and their gang. It
was token personally by Gillespie to a
job printing office in Clevela; d. Ohio,
where several thousand copies were
printed, and when printed the package
was expressed to Greenville to the ad
dress of E. P. Gillespie, who, as above
stated, is the chairman of the Demo
cratic county committee of Mercer
county. On the arrival of the package
at Greenville it was taken to the Dem
ocratic printing office, owned by Gil
lespie's father, and there most of the
batch mailed to the Republicans of this
county was put up in wrappers and
directed. When all ready for mailing
this same Gillespie went to Postmaster
Krepps, of Greenville, and purchased
twenty dollars worth of one-cent post
age stamps, paying therefor with a
twenty-dollar gold piece, and saying
he would want twenty dollars' worth
more in a few days.
TO WHOM IT WAS ADDRESSED.
So far it has only been mailed to
Republicans, with the hope, as express
ed by its Democratic originators, that
it might poison enough voters to re
duce Miller's vote and make possible
the election of a Democrat to represent
this district and add one more vote to
the rebel brigadiers in Congress.
WHAT THE ADDRESS CONTAINS.
The first assertion the address con
tains, which is malicious and false in
every particular, is that Mr. Miller de
feated Wm. Stewart in 18GC for judge.
This assertion, apparently coming from
Johnson Pearson, will be considered a
huge joke in Mercer county. It is
well known to every one who was a
voter in the county at that time that
both in 1860 and I8(>f! Johnson Pear
son was one of the men who assisted,
and boasted of it, in the defeat of Mr.
Stewart. In 1800, he and others fol
lowed Stewart to the conference and
worked against him, and failing to de
feat his nomination joined with the
Democrats in supporting Judge Camp
bell.
Again, in 18(56, Mr. Pearson and
others of his crowd did all they could
to prevent Mr. Stewart's nomination,
and when the conference finally ad
journed on the Wednesday before the
election without making a nomination
the defeat of Mr. Stewart was an ac
complished fact.
For his course in this and other mat
ters Mr. Pearson made Mr. Stewart his
lift long enemy, and in 1874, when
Pearson was nominated for Judge,
Stewart ran as an independent candi
date, and as he openly stated, to defeat
Pearson.
The assertion that Taylor paid Mr.
Miller $3,500 for his support in 1866
is only exceeded in its falsity by its
stupidity. The conference at Franklin
broke up on Wednesday evening be
fore the election. The Dispatch was
printed and mailed on Friday and
would not reach many of its readers be
fore the election day (the following
Tuesday), and it did not put up Mr.
Taylor's name in the ticket at the
head of the paper; and the statement
that Mr. Miller was paid as much as a
nickle in the judicial matter of 18(50,
directly or indirectly, is a base and
malicious falsehood.
The second and third assertions con
tained in the address are to the effect
that Mr. Miller acted corruptly in nom
inating Gen. Allen for Senate in 18(59,
and in assisting to nominate Mr. Me-
Kinley for Senate in 1874. Both of
these charges, so far as they affect Mr.
Miller, are utterly and wholly false,
and he challenges any man who is con
versant with the facts to state the con
trary.
These falsehoods ha«e been circu
lated by the Democracy heretofore to
injure the reputation of Mr. Miller in
the Republican party, and in every in
stance the Republicans of Mercer coun
ty have testified their faith and confi
dence in him by supporting and sus
taining him. They are now reproduced,
not for any effect they may have in
Mercer county, but with the hope of
aiding the Democratic candidate in
Crawford and Butler counties.
The uext accusation is that Mr. Mil
ler betrayed Mr. McAdam when he
was a candidate for the Congressional
nomination in this district in 18(5(3 and
1868. This is if possible a more ma
licious and malignant falsehood than
those that p'ocede it, because Mr.
Pearson has a perfect knowledge of all
the facts. In 18(56, when McAdam
was first a candidate, Mr. Miller was
not even present at the Congressional
conference, either as a conferee or spec
tator. Pearson, however, ivas one of
McAdam,s conferees, and was actiny
in that capacity when lion. I). A. Fin
ney, of Crawford county, was nonii•
nated, Mr- Miller had been the firm
friend and advocate of McAdam during
the campaign of 1866, and in 1868,
when he (McAdam) was again nomi
nated, Mr Miller served a.-i oue of his
conferees, the others being Geo. S.
Westlake and i'. L. Williams. The
conferees adhered to the fortunes of
Mr. McAdam in a conference of over
three weeks' duration, and when at
last, at Titusville, Mr. Johnson, of
Meadville, was nominated, the Mercer
county conferees withdrew from the
conference, refusing to abide by the
result. A new conference was subse
quently held, but at the suggestion of
Sir Miller the county committee of
Mercer county selected new conferees,
and Mr. Miller was not even present at
the last conference. The new confer
ees were Sheriff lilacjc, Jackson Bur
gess and, we believe, J)r. B. F. Gordon,
men who cannot be injured by this
piratical Democratic crew, who "con
eeived in sin and brought f'ortii in in
iquity" this address.
Tho la t change is that Mr Miller
betrayed Senator Blaine at Harris
burg last February. The same charge
was made last spring, when it was fully
discussed, investigated and passed on
by the Republicans of Mercer county.
All the facts Were at the time fully
stated in these columns, but in this
connection we will give them again.
Mr. Miller a id the two other dele
gates from Merter coun'v went to
Harrisburg as Blaine men, and on the
only two votes in the convention touch
ing the Presidential question voted
with the Blaine men. He and they
voted for the amendment of Butler B
Strang, of Tioga, to strike out the
name of Grant and insert the name of j
Blaiue, and to instruct our delegates to '
Chicago to vote as a unit for Blaine ;
for President. When this amendment ;
was lost, and when the original mo •
tion was passed, Mr. Miller voted- (
against instructing our delegates ot ]
vote for Grant.
A yea and nay vote was taken on
each of these propositions, or questions,
and the names of those voting yea and
nay published in the Philadelphia
Pre*.* and Times the following morn
ing.
As before stated, this whole matter
was subsequently passed on by the
Republican count}' committee of this
county and the action of the delegates
approved by a vote of 48 to 3.
Such is a brief review of this address
which was prepared, published and
paid for by the Democracy of this dis
trict. and signed by Ihree persons in
Mercer county, who are put forward as
a mask to cover the Democratic infa
my. The fact that the signers of this
address, who have heretofore professed
to be Republicans, have placed them
selves in the hands of the Democrats,
makes their motive appear very ques
tionable, and already we have heard it
suggested that they have done what
that great moral showman, P. T. Bar
num, is said to do—allowed the use of
their names for a consideration. But
this we do not charge.
If this address was only to be circu
lated in Mercer county we would never
have referred to it, for in this county
and town where Mr. Miller was raised
and lor the past ten years has followed
his profession, a denial is not even nec
essary. In this county Mr. Miller is
personally known to every Republican.
For sixteen years he has been taking
an active part in every canvass, and
his voice has been heard in almost
every school district in behalf of Re
publican principles. lie lias never
bolted a nomination or opposed a nom
inee, but in every campaign he has
gone before the people and urged them
to stand by the ticket.
It is true that the Democracy, as a
party, do not like him; and it is also
true that these three gentlemen, who
have acted as stool-pigeons for the
Democratic leaders, are personally
hostile to Mr. Miller. They have a
personal, not a political, grudge against
him.
We predict that this roorbach will
prove a boomerang to its projectors.
Alread\ r Democrats ar • publicly an
nouncing that if this is the kind of a
campaign Pete Pierce it Co. intend to
wage against Miller they will vote for
him, and we assure our friends in the
adjoining counties thaj Mercer county
will, on November 2nd. answer the
slander and slanderers alike by giving
Sam Miller a larger majority than it
ever gave any Republican.

Clarion County'*} l aiiroads.
When the excitement over the great
oil strikes in Clarion county a few
years ago was at its height, i railroad
was buit from the village of Emleiilon,
on the Allegheny Valley Rail
road, to Clarion, the county scat.
Foxburg was a place that had been
called into existence four miles further
down the Allegheny liiver by t'ie oil
discoveries. The land on which it
was built for miles about it belonged
to the estate of a deceased iron manu
facturer of Philadelphia named Fox.
The great interests of this estate were
managed by William L. Fox, a son of
the deceased manufacturer, lie was
only 20 years of age. That Foxburg
had been ignored by the projectors of
the Emlenton road angered the young
millionaire. lie at once began the con
struction of a roau from his town to
Clarion. The roads were both of the
three-foot pauge. Fox's railroad was
compelled to climb a hill about 500
feet high to get a start out of Foxburg.
This was done by a series of zigzags
that carried the road over a distance of
several miles, yet left it only a mile or
so from Foxburg when the summit
was reached. Both roads were finish
ed. W. L. Fox was made President
of the Foxburg road. The eompeti- |
tion between them was so sharp that j
neither road made money. Finally the j
stockholders of the Emlenton road
succumbed to the wealthy "boy Presi- j
dent." II<! secured stock enough in the
rival road to control it, and both roads .
passed under his management. He j
agreed to k ep the Emlenton and Jef
ferson Station, where it joined the
other road for Clarion.
Last winter President Fox died sud
denly. A favorite conductor of his had
been shot and filled by a passenger
whom iie had put oil' the train because
he refused to pay fare. Mr. Fox took a j
leading part in prosecuting the assas
sin. It was in obtaining- the pistol that
the murder was committed with, and
running nearly a mile to get on the |
train for Clarion, vvj}ich was waiting j
for him, that President Fo* j
ed himself that he died in his seat in
tin; iar near the spot where the con. i
ductor was shot. After his death the
vast interests of the Fox estate began 1
to flag. There was no head to them.
Among the changes that followed was
the gradual decrease of business on the
Emlenton railroad. The succeediii''-1
management of the railroad i-sued
orders that all freight for shipm it to
Clarion and intermediate points. IV >.a
other roads, must be sent via Fox <ur.
This t > k all <>l that business off the
Kuilc.it i l.r.i'ich. l'lieu train ffu-r
train w.»* witli.l.*■v.va from tU • branch,
until only one a day was ru i lor the
aecoarn d.it!ou of the Emlrit >:i p.- >-
pie.
Lately a meeting of the directors
was hold in Kiuleuton. A report from
their engineer wa- received th it be h I
examined th ir .-ties o the Em!ent n
branch. They are numerous and very
high, and are built of hem!" k timber, j
The engineer said that the timbers
were greatly decayed, and jeopard!/-. 1
the lives of passengers and em; ' aye
A majority <>l the Board voted to aban
don the Emk nton road. No trains
have since been run on the road. The
people of Emlenton, who are large j
owners of the .-t tck of the Emleiitoa |
and Clarion Company, if thU action of i
the managers is ratified at a meeting of !
the stockholders to be held this week. |
will ask for the appointment of a re
ceiver. The defence of the managers
for their action is that there is uot
busines enough to run both roads.
Betting cn Elections.
The question is raised, by some,
whether being interested in any bet
upon election disqualifies such person
from voting at such election. There is
an act of the Legislature to be found
on page 561, Purdon's Digest, requir
ing Inspectors and Judges of elections
to reject such votes. This act is very
likely to mislead a person standing as
it does in the digest.
The constitution fixes the qualifica
tion of voters. A right thus conferred
is beyond legislative restriction. The
act referred to is unconstitutional and
therefore void. Being interested in a
bet does not exclude a voter. It is an
offence against law which can be pros
ecuted, but it will not deprive the per
son from voting.
The principles which govern this
case may be found in the 59th vol. of
the State reports, page 109. There waa
an act passed on June 4, 181)7, dis
franchising deserters, and i'l tile ea.-«<
of MeCuTerty v*. ( » ;yer et al., above
referred to, it was decided unconstitu
tional.
We make reference to this subject in
order to correct a misapprehension of
the law as it appears in "Purdon."
Without a full examination of the mat
ter we, the other day, shared in the
error. —[Grecuville Progress.
The above we fear is not sound
doctrine. The courts Lave not as yet
dec]&reii that the act of Assembly re
ferred to is unconstitutional, and until
they do so any person betting on an
election, or bring in any way inter
ested in any ix-t or wager on the result
of any election, and proven so before
the board of election officers, it would
be their duty to reject the vote of -aid
