    BUTLER CITIZEN
JOHN PROP'RS,
Entered at the Fostojffice at Butler as
second-classs matter.
CKNTERVILLE Items aad much other
matter have to give way this week to
proceedings of Republican State Con
vention and matters therewith con
nected.
The Womens' Christian Association
of this place has rented a fine room on
Main street, south of Court House, ai.d
fitted the same up in good style. Ibe
object of the Association is "to do
good," and we may haye more to say
say of it again.
MRS. Nellie J. Murphy, a daugh
ter of Massa Harbison of Indian
fame, died at her residence in Pitts
burgh on the sth inst. age 7*2 years.
There a'e now but two left, it is
said, of a family of fifteen decendants
of Massa Harbison, to wit: Benjamin
Harbison, of Freeport we believe, and
• Mrs. Wylie, of Washington, Pa.
THE nomination of Hon. Thomas M.
Marshall for Congressman at-large waf
a capital stroke and a well executed
breaking of the slate programme at tbe
State Convention. While in some re
spects the position is a very small tub
to a very large whale, yet of all men
we know of in the State, Mr. Marshall
is tbe one to be sent to Congress at
the present time. He would be a
power and a check there to present
methods. There may be some features
purrounding the nomination that may
cause him to hesitate as to accepting
it, but, should he accept, bis election
is certain and will prove a shield to
the great mass of the Republicans of
the State against the arbitrary one man
power now existing at Washington.
HON. WILLIAMT DAVIES now nom
inated for Lieutenant Governor, aud
Hon. John M. Greer, now nominated
for Secretary of Internal Affairs, by the
late State Convention, are both mem
bers of tbe present State Senate, both
being elected two years ago, for the
term of four years. This will conse
quently leave two years unexpired of
their term when elected this fall. Iu
order to afford the Republicans of their
districts an opportunity to fill their
places, at the coming fall election, it is
presumed that they will resign their
positions as Senators. If this is prompt
ly doDe in this district advantage
could be taken of tbe coming primaries,
in both this and Armstrong counties,
and tbe vacancy filled and thus save
the trouble and expense of a special
primary and a special election after the
general election this fall.
COL. D. 11. Wallace, Senatorial
delegate from this district, to the
State Convention, voted on first bal
lot for Rawle, of Philadelphia, lor Su
preme Judge; direct instructions by
the Lawrence County Committee aud
Mercer County Convention, to vote
for Maj. A. M. Brown, of Pittsburg,
notwithstanding. E. L. Cuninghain,
representative delegate from this
county, followed his example.
The above we find in the Law
renco Coanty Guardian of last Fri
day and it tells of another shame full
betrayal of instructions on the part
of delegates to State Conventions.
Had Maj. Brown received on the
first ballot all the votes from the
Western part of the State that were
instructed for him and that he was
entitled to receiye he would have
bad the leading vote, aud probably
been nominated.
BE A VER FOR GOVERNOR.
The nomination, by acclamation, in
the State Convention of General Bea
ver for Govenor was fitting and right,
and will be approved by the people.
The party demanded it. No bosses
brought it about and no bosses could
have prevented it. If any still l*ve a
single doubt as to Ge.ieral Beaver's
opinions let them read his speech made
to the Convention after his nomina
tion. His remarks will be found in
another place of this paper. He has
made no pledges and is under obliga
tions to none but the great mass of the
party. Upon his own merits and claims
he has succeeded and is bef jre the peo
ple. Tha idea of sucb a man being, or
becoming subject to the control of cor
rupt men after his election, must l>e
dismissed from the minds of all lair
men. That ho will be elected does
Dot admit of a doubt.
DEFEAT OF MAT. BROWN.
The one thing more regretted tlian
all o'hers is the failure by the State
Convention to nominate Adam M.
Brown for Ju of the Supreme
Court. The popular expression was
for him, and should have b en obeyed.
This was not only on account of his
merits as a mm an.l a lawyer, but
waß also an ardent desire on the part
of the people that the candidate for
that office, at the present time, should
be one who, if elected, would favor the
rescinding of that unjust order by which
all appeals to the Supreme Court,
must be taken to and heard away in
Philadelphia. Mr. Rawle, the success
ful candidate, is a respectable man and
a competent lawyer, but we can have
no hope from him that the outrageous
order will l»e stricken off. As he re
sides in Philadelphia there cannot be
any reasonable hope in that direction.
With our people generally we there
fore deeply regret the loss of Maj.
Brown to the State ticket. If the con
vention had been let alone, aud thero
had been no betrayals through the use
of patronage, or the hope thereof, Maj.
Brown would have been successful.
As it is, he and bis friends will sub
mit, trusting to fairer play hereafter.

II AKRISBI'RU, May 10.
Following is General Beaver's
speech to tbe convention after his nom
ination :
Representatives of tbe Republicans
of Pennsylvania : lam herein obedi
ence to your summons, in answer to
vour request. The committee of your
body who have conveyed that request
have also informed me of your action
in naming me as the candidate of the
Republican party of Pennsylvania for
the suffrages of the people in the ap
proachiug election of a Chief Magistrate
of our Commonwealth. I am not in
sensible to the distinguished honor
which you have conferred upon me
by the voice of this great convention
The man would be strangely lacking
in the feelings which are common to
our humanity whose heart could fail to
be stirred by a pleasurable emotion in
view of this action. And yet you will
allow me to say, and will no doubt as
sent to tbe saying, that this nomina
tion is an empty honor unless you fair
ly represent in its bestowal tbe free
will and the untrammeled choice of
your great constituency. Lid I not
believe this was tbe fact you could not
prevail upon me to staud as tbe repre
sentative of the grand political party
whose whole past history is the best
guarantee of its future policy. If you
do not believe this is the fuct I pray
you cancel this nomination here and
now and select some gentleman whom
you and I can join in supporting as the
true exponent of the pure Republican
ism and the unbiased choice of a major
ity of the part}'.
NOT A POLITICIAN.
1 am not much of a politician. I
have but little political experience,
> aud consequently lay no claim to the
• sagacity which large experience brings,
bnt I have faithfully and earnestly en
deavored to learn in tbe preliminary
canvass which has resulted in this
nomination what the wishes of the
masses of the Republican party were
in regard to it. 1 have not sought in
dividual support nor bargained for po
litical influence, but I have been solic
itous to know tbe popular will. Be
lieving 1 that you have registered that
will and given utterance to the voice
ofthe people, I accept this nomination
—not boastfully, not unthinkingly,
' but under a keen sense of tbe respon
sibility which popular confidence im
plies and begets. I have carefully
noted the instructions under which
some of you have cast your votes to
day, aud whilst I am painfully aware
tbat I fall very far short of the picture
of the man whom you were instructed
to support for this nomination, I am,
nevertheless, impressed with the fact
that the people in many parts of the
Commonwealth have set up a high
ideal to which they expect tbe nominee
of this convention for the office of the
Chief Magistrate to attain. I cannot
expect to reach tbe full measure ot
their high standard, but I will come
only so far short of it as the ability
which God has given me, backed by
an honest purpose and an earnest ef
fort, will enable me to reach.
NO PLEDGES AS TO THE FUTURE.
I have made no pledges to living
man as to what my future course shall
be. I can make none, now or hereaf
ter, except this : In the approaching
political campaign tbe harmony and
success of the Republican party shall
be the one great object of desire and
effort on my part, and if your anion
should be ratified at the polls the
welfare of tbe whole jieople shall be
the pri.ne object of my solicitude,
their will, my inspiration and my high
est aspiration to obey their commands as
legally expressed. You will pardon
these personal remarks, ordinarily out
of place, but the circumstauces under
which we meet, and the evident mis
understanding of my position by many
right thinking people, render them
not only appropriate but necessary.
Aud now as to»»the principles which
you have enunciated as expressive of
the sentiments of your constituency.
They arc not only correct as principles,
but they must be faithfully and hon
estly carried out in practice. They
are not only beautiful as sentiments,
but they must regulate and control the
life of the party. Tbe question for us
is not, are they radical '( but are they
right ? They are right, and therefore
we can advocate them, stand by them,
and insist upon their practical applica
tion in party government and in the
legislation which will give them life
and efficiency. Public trust means
public service. He who accepts it be
comes tbe servant of all and iu admin
istering it be enjoys most who serves
the best.
FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE.
This is not tbe time nor the place
for the discussion of tbe details of the
principles which you have announced
as the matured thought of the party.
If life and health are spared I propose
to carry the standard upon which they
are inscribed into every cou.ity ofthe
Common wealth, and with the aid of
those who believe with me that they
are verities, to bring them before every
intelligent thinking nun in thj S.atc.
This standard which you present is
the tri-color of harmony, of purity in
party government and of the prosperi
ty of the whole people. And now. as
I take it from your hands, I pledge
vou, and I pray you to join iu the
pledge, that together we will carry
It to a glorious and triumphant victory.
TIIE PLATFORM.
IIAHUISHI K<>, May 10—The com
mittee on resolutions |M*esented the
following platform and resolutions,
which were adopted without discussion
or comment of any kind, except that ,
those resolutions which were inserted
as reform sentiments elicited a great
deal of interest from the delegates
generally :
Tbe Republican party of the State
of Pennsylvania, in convention assem
bled, do affirm the principles of justice, i
equal rights, honesty and economy in
the national and State administration J
upou which the party was founded j
and upon which it has so long and
continuously triumphed, ami does I
hereby resolve tbat it has always been '
the aim and purpose of the Republican (
party to carefully guard the interest of
the laboring classes by all suitable j
legislation, and to that end the pro
tection of American industry, by advo- I
cacy of the continuance of a proper and :
judicious tariff, is enjoined upon our Sen
ators and Representatives in Congress. I
Resolved, That as the sense of the
great body of tbe Republican party of
the State of Pennsylvania we declare:
FIRST. Tbat we unequivocally con
demn tbe use of patronage to promote
personal political ends, aud require
tbat all offices bestowed within tbe
party shall be upon the sole basis ot
fitness.
SECOND. Tbat competent and faith- j
ful officers should not be removed ex- i
cept for cause.
THIRD. That the non-elective
minor offices should be filled in accord
ance with rules e tablisbed by law.
FOURTH. That the ascertained pop
ular will shall be faithfully carried out
in State and national conventions and
by those holding office by the favor of
the party.
FIFTH. Tbat we condemn compul
sorv assessments for political purposes
aud proscription for failure to respond
either to such assessments or to re
quests for voluntary contributions;
and that any policy of political pro
scription is unjust aud calculated to
dis'urb party harmony.
SIXTH. That public office constitutes
a high trust, to be administered solely
for the benefit of the people, whose iin
terest must be paramount to those of
jiersons and parties, anil that it should
be invariablv conducted with the same
efficiency, economy and integrity as
are expected in the execution of private
trusts.
SEVENTH. Tbat the State ticket
should be such as by the impartiality
of its constitution and the high char
acter and acknowledged fitness of the
nominees will justly commend itself to
tbe support of the United Republican
party.
Resolved, That we also recommend
the adoption ofthe following permanent
rules for the holding of State Conven
tions and the conduct of the party :
FIRST. Tbat delegates to State Con
ventions shall be chosen in tbe manner
in which candidates for the General
Assembly are nominated, except in
Senatorial districts composed of more
than one county, in which conferees
for tbe selection of Senatorial delegates
shall be chosen in the manner afore
said.
SECOND, Hereafter the State Con
vention of the Republican party shall
be held on tbe second Wednesday of
July, except in tbe year of the Presi
dential election, when it shall be held
not more than thirty days previous to
the day fixed for the National Con
vention, aud at least sixty days' notice
shall be given of tbe date of the State
Convention.
THIRD, That we recommend to the
county organizations tbat in their rules
they allow the largest freedom in the
general participation in the primaries
consistent with the preservation of the
party organization
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
Federal Government to adopt a policy
which will result in observing good
faith towards the aborigines, by keep
ing intruders out of tbe Indian terri
tory, by enacting laws protecting life
and property on the reservations, by
prohibiting tribe removals, by educat
ing all Indian children in manual labor
schools, and by giving lands in several
ty and eventually citizenship to all
self-supporting Indians who desire the
same.
Resolved, That we most deeply de
plore the loss sustained by us, in com
mon with tbe other portions of our
nation, in the death of President Jas.
A. Garfield, who exemplified by his
whole life and public career all those
principles which constitnte the highest
type of American manhood, and who,
when stricken down by tbe hand of a
cowardly assassin, showed by bis forti
tude and heroic patience that* bis pro
fession that he was ready to give his
life for his country was not an empty
boast.
Resolved, Tbat wo heartily sympa
thize with the widow and mother of
our late President and the bereaved
children, and we say to them that bis
life aud memory are the richest legacy
which could have been bequeathed to
them.
Revolved, That the administration
of President Chester A. Arthur, com
menced under such sad and trying cir
cumstances, has proved to be wise,
conciliatory and efficient, and isentitled
'to the cordial support of every Repub
lican.
Resolved, That tinder tbe adminis
tration of our worthy and able Gov
ernor, Henry M. Hoyt, the nlFairs of
our Slate have been wisely, houestly
and economically administered. The
interests of the tax-payers of the State
have been carefully guarded and bis
administration is worthy of the confi
dence of every citizen.
Resolved, That the ticket nominated
this day combines purity of personal
character with eminent ability, is
worthy of the hearty and undivided
support of every true Republican, and
for its election we hereby pledge our
earnest efforts.
Resolved, That tbe State committee
be constituted according to the usage
of the pai ty, the delegation from each
district to present to the secretary of
this convention tbe name of tbe person
desired to be placed thereon.
TIIE TICKET.
GENERAL JAMES A. HEAVER,
of Centre county, the nominee for
Governor, has been prominently before
the public for some months past, and a
sketch of his brilliant political and
military career was published in the
Commercial Gazette not long ago, of

came north and remained until the
battle ot Ream's Station, on the "W il
miugton and Weldon Railroad, Augu&t

loss of bis limb necessitated his retire
ment from the service, and he returned
to his home iu Bellefonte, and resumed
the practice of law as a member of the ,
firm of McAllister & Beaver In 18G5 ;
he married the daughter of his law pre- |
ceptor and partner. He is the Presi-1
deut of the Board of Trustees of tbe
Agricultural College at Bellefonte,
was a delegate to tbe Chicago Conven
tion, and after Oliver's defeat for
United States Senator last winter, was
brought forward as a compromise can
didate, but was not accepted by tbe
Independents.
WILLIAM HENRY RAWLE, of
Philadelphia, candidate for Justice of
tbe Supreme Court, is a native of
Philadelphia, and is fifty-eight years
of age. He is a sou of William Ilawle,
of the firm of Sergeant Rawle, and
his grandfather was District Attorney
for Philadelphia under General Wash
ington. Mr. Rawle is a graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania, a man
of fine legal attainments, and tbe

year, but was defeated by General
present incumbent.
THOMAS M, MARSHALL,
The unexpected nomination of
Thomas M. Marshall for Congressman
at-Large, brings again into merited
prominence one of tbe oldest and bold
est figures in the Republican party of
Pennsylvania. Before he was of age
he began to fight the doctrines of slave
holders. He was one of the earliest,
active, most courageous of the old Lib
erty party, that handful of patriots
who first began the tight against sla
very, more than twenty years before
the agitation made even a strong
mark upon the polities of the country.
Ho was the early friend of William
Lloyd Garrison, Horace Greeley and
Thurlow Weed, and was with them in
all their plans for tbe abolition of sla
very. lie made free soil speeches
when it was dangerous, and was a
prominent figure at the birth of the
Republican party in this State, in
1855. Thomas Mercer Marshall was
born in Ireland, 1818. His father em
igrated to this country when he was
only a year old, and settled in Butler
County, where he was a prominent
farmer for many years. Here Mr.
Marshall passed all tbe early years of
bis life. Ho worked on the farm, and
went to school whenever be could,
until he was of age. He had an older
brother, James who was one
of the best known business men in
Western Pennsylvania, aud was for
years one of the leading merchants of
Pittsburgh. Soon after he attained
his majority young Tom Marshall, as
he was known in early as well as later
life, moved to Pittsburgh and became a
clerk in bis brother's store. After a
few years of mercantile life he began
the study of law with Judge Charles
Shaler, then one of the most eminent
lawyers in Pennsylvania; in 1846, he
was admitted to the bar and at once
began tbe practice of law. He was
successful from tbe start. In less than
a year he took tbe leading position as
a jury lawyer at the Pittsburg bar, then
one of the strongest in the State. His
address was winning and his oratorical
power very superior, he was open-band
ed and free-hearted, so ever ready to
give his services to the needy that be
was soon known as the peoples' lawyer.
His great power as sn advocate natur
ally at first brought him a large crimi
nal clientage, and his services were
sought far aud wide. It was not long
before he was regarded as one of the
firnt criminal lawyers in the State. His
legal fame did not however stop with
his work in the criminal courts, for he
has for many years enjoyed the dis
tinction of being a careful and success
full lawyer in tbe best branches of the
profession. He began his political life
even before he did bis legal career. He
was for General Birney tor president
in 1844, refusing to act with either the
Whig or Democratic parties on ac
count of their position on tbe slavery
question. After tbe organization of
the Republican party in 1855 be cut a
wide swath in State and National pol
itics. He made powerful speeches for
Fremont in 1856, and in 1860 was a
delegate to the Cb icago Convention, in
which betook a prominent part in the
nomination of Mr. Lincoln. He was
a delegate to every succeeding Nation
al and State Convention up to 1872,
when be went iuto tbe Greeley move
ment on account of bis strong personal
friendship for Horace Greeley.
lie took an energetic part for Gen
eral Garfield iu the last Presidential
campaign. He is a power upon tue
stump, and his force and eloquence,
which have not been given to party
campaigns for a decade, are again com
manded for this conflict. Ho has a
stronger bold upon tbe people of West
ern Pennsylvania than any other man
iu that section, and could at any time
have chosen any office within the gift
of the commonwealth. Marked as has
been bis party service and strong as
has ever been his love for politics he
has always refused to be a candidate
for oliice.
The spontaneous and emphatic dem
onstration of tin; Convention has forc
ed him again iuto public life. Tbe
enthusiasm with which his name was
received is but a repet tion < f tbat
which in former yesrs he inspired at
every Convention of h s party. An
Independent by nature, an earnest Re
publican by conviction, and a thorough
going Pennsvlvanian in every fibre of
his body, he will worthilv repre?ent
the State in the Forty-eighth Con
gress.
THE STATE CONVENTION.
Another Republican State Conven.
tion has come and goue. In some re
spects it was an interesting one and
differed widely from former ones*
While apparently still under the con.
trol of Senator Cameron, yet tbe pro
ceedings show tbat much of his con
trol has gone. Of tbe ticket nomina
ted, the majority ofthe names upon it
are those of men who have not hereto
fore trained with him, but have been
against him. This is a favorable sign.
It shows bis power to be waining,
when he is driven to the necessity of
casting about among his opponents for
acceptable candidates.
The ticket as a whole is composed
of good men and is a strong one—and
will be elected
The recommendations of the late
conference committees, as to the future
government of the party in the State,
were all accepted and adopted by the
Convention, with one single exception.
But this was an important one and we
regret it was not also accepted. We
refer to that part of the rule proposed
which provided "that the representa
tion of each county in the State Con
ventions shall hereafter be based up
on its Republican vote." This part is
omitted by the Convention, for what
reason we do not know. Most cer
tainly it was a reform needed and
would be both just and right. As it
is, Democratic counties will continue
to have more power in our State Con
ventions than they are fairly entitled
to. We republish the new rules, as
the party will be governed by tbem
in the future in the matter of sending
delegates to the State Conventions,
etc. This is now put into the hands
of tbe people,
There will be a difference of opinion
as to some of'the other resolutions
passed by tbe Convention, particularly
the one endorsing the Administration
of President Arthur. But all know
how easily it is to pass resolutions and
of what little value or mean'Bg they of
ten are. Taken as a whole the pro.
ceedings of this Convention are an im
provement upon ones of late years,
and everything is encouraging to the
people of tbe Republican party to con
tinue their efforts tc-wards throwing off
the boss rule or one man power that
has too long existed.
