Republican nominations in this
county are made Saturday a week, June

penalty of bis crime.
UNITED STATES Senator John I.
Mitchell, of this State, has been elected
a delegate from bis county and will at
tend tbe Independent, Anti-Cameron
Convention that meets in Philadelphia
this day.
JAMES S. CRAIG, ESQ, of Allegheny
twp., is tbe member of the Republican
State Committee for this county for
tbe coming year. Th,s selection was
made by the delegates from this county
to tbe late State Convention and is
one tbat is very generally approved.
TH* fact that we have now a law
governing primary elections sLould
not be overlooked by the Republican
yoters of this county on Saturday
week, June 3d. We have twice here
tofore published this law, and do so
&<*ain ttiis week, in order that all the
Republican voters may understand it.
The main feature of it is, that the
persons holding the primaries must be
trworn to honestly perform that duty.
This will insure, or ought to, a fair
election and choice in every district.
HON. THOMAS M. MARSHALL, nom
inated for Contfrcswuan-at-Large by
the late Harrisburg Convention, has
Dot as yet signified his acceptance of
tho same. It is said by personal
friends of bis, who are supposed to
know his views, that be will decline
the proffered honor. Should this prove
BO it will still further complicate mat
ters. He is perfectly fearless in char
acter, as ever* body knows, and
will do what be thinks in honor and
duty be should do. He occupies a
position in tho party just now tbat
enables him to compol a reform and
an abandonment of some abuses that
bave too long been suffered by tbe Re
publicans of this State.# That he will
act wisely and well none who know
him can doubt.
TUB ticket nominated at the Repub
lican State Convention of May 10tb,
will be seen at the head of this column.
Last week we gave the proceedings of
the Convention and this week we give
the comments of a number of the Repub
lican papers of the State on the Con
vention and the ticket. What is known
as the Independent Republican State
Convention meets in Philadelphia to
day. What its action may be, of
course, we cannot now say, but it is
generally expected that it will put
another State ticket before the people.
The cause for this is the interference
and bossism of Senator Cameron with
the nominations made by the late Con
vention. Had be remained at Wash
ington, attending to his duties, there
likely would not be half the complaint
made that is. As it is, Senator Mitch
ell, onr other U. 8. Senator, has de
clared against the ticket and is attend
ing the Independent Republican Con
vention that meets to-day. The two
Senators taking different sides, and for
different tickets, presents a new and
much to be deplored state of allairs in
the Republican party ot the State.
But it is the natural result of the des
potic rule of Cameron in our party.
We have for years pn*t protested
against it and predicted just what is
now happeniug. It has conic sooner
than we expected. We h.id Imped
that a ticket headed by a name like
Gen. Beaver, and that had on it the
name of Thomas M. Marshall, might
reconcile all, and we are satisfied tha 1
it is not oa account of objection to the
ticket itself so much as to the manner
that some upon it were previously
selected, slated and put through the
CoDvention. This continued method
and practice of Cameron has Anally
aroused the people and brought on the
rebellion in the party that is now head
ed by Senator Mitchell. Wo think as
be does and have for years given our
feeble aid to rid the party of the jmt
sonal iule of the one man power in the
State. Hut we are committed to the
ticket nominated. We took part in
nominating it and, as in honor bound,
will give it our support. At the same
time it is not difficult to foresee that il
to day another good ticket is placed in
the field there is much danger ahead
for the party. Mr. Marshall too has
not yet accepted the nomination assign*
ed him on the ticket and much may
depend for its euccess on the course he
may determine to take in the matter.

FALSE REPORTS.
While, as we have said in another
place, the primary so far has been con
ducted quietly, yet we regret to hear of
some false reports being circulated as
to some of the candidates. One is
and it is a common one—circulating
affecting a candidate's fidelity
to hia party, hy charging be has not
voted so and so, and for so and so. Ibe
safe rule is to disbelieve all reports
just previous to elections, unless >ou
know them to be true. They are al
ways put in circulation by interested
parties, to help one by injuring another
THE COMING PRIMARY.
A week from Saturday next the
Republican primary for this county
will come off. So far it has been con
ducted very quietly. The candidates
themselves, however, we believe have
been stirring around quite-lively. vV ith
the material before the people there
ought to be a good ticket secured at
the primary. Congress and Assembly
are both important oßSces. They make
our laws and of all officers they should
be honest and competent. Every
voter is, therefore, interested in making
good nomination; fof those positions.
We bt'pe, therefore, there will bo a
full turnout on Saturday a week, June
3d. __
81-ANNUAL SESSIONS.
In talking with a friend the other
dav we learned that an erroneous im
pression prevails with some as to what
bi annual sessions of t)ae Legislature
really mean. The impression is said
to exist with some, that it means that
one election gives a member of Assem
bly Iwo sessions, and thai he actually
saves two sessions. The reverse of
this is what is intendod by the new
Constitution, its object being to have
sessions every other year, or one ses
sion within two years. So a member
elected now, although elected for two
years, yet can serve but for one, un
less there is a called or special session
These special sessions were necessary
for a few years immediately after the
adoption of the new Constitution, but of
late they have not been. The two
members therefore elected in this
county two years ago, 1880, b&fe ser
ved but one session, that of the winter
1881, there being DO session last win
ter, 1882, and could not be, under the
new Constitution, unless it had been a
called or special one.
D. H. WALIAOK, of New Castle, bas
put in his bid for the gubernatorial
ctjair to be set in the parlor of the new
territory of Dakota He was Senatorial
delegate from the 47th district. Both
I/awrence and Mercer couuties which
compose it, instructed their delegates
to support Hon. A. M. Brown, of
Pittsburgh, for the office of Supreme
Judge. Notwithstanding the Colonel
was bound in honor to follow these
instructions and in courtesy to vote
for hia neighbor, he went straight to
Ilawle at the behest of Cameron. Here
is another instance of the evil of the
spoils system that has been perpetrat
ed again and again. It robs the people
of their rights ; it corrupts and deba-es
mankind and it is resulting in the de
struction of the party. From Garfield's
assassination to the most trifling ap
pointment it has begotten crime and
crime only.
No wonder too that Cameron de
mands the major portion of the U. S
appointments. The patror.age of the
government would not fill the mouths
of the horde clamoring for ofliue, uor
retain for Cameron his sway in State
and natioual politics.
And Wallace? Cameron is liberal
to treachery and Wullace may get an
appointment, bnt Lawrence county
voters will not trust him again with
any office of honor, trust or profit. He
might be risked for profit, but be
would hardly fill the bill in a post of
honor or of trust. Mercer Republican.
THE TICKET.
ProMM Common!* on ll«« Work
orilic Nlale Convention.
The Republican State Conveution
has placed in nomination a ticket
which will concentrate the united vote
of the party in November next.—Pitts
burgh Commercial.
The ticket was made throughout by
Senator Cameron, with the exception
of Marshall, whose nomination made
itself, regardless of Cameron or his
friends or foes. General Beaver was
early chosen as the candidate for Gov
ernor, the one position most vital to
Cumeron's continued supremacy,
and Denver's well-earned personal
strength made his success easy to ac
complish.— Philadelphia. Time*.
The Convention rose to the full
height of n great occasion- It display
ed the same glowing spirit which
quickened the party with moral power
in its earliest days. It faithfully rep
resented the Republican manhood and
the Republican aspirations of our
grand old Cauimonwealth. It made
the strongest ticket, adopted the
strongest plar'orm, and did it all in
the strongest way that was possible.—
I'hi adeiphia Pre**.
The State ticket nominated by the
Republicans of Pennsylvania on Wed
nesday is very strong personally, al
though it was a creation of the Camer
on faction, and will go into the canvass
handicapped to a great extent by boss
ism. Cameron controlled the conven
tion almost absolutely, and every can
didate nominated was slated in ad
vance hy the bosses, except Hon.
Thomas M. Marshall of Pittsburgh
for Congressman-at-lnrge. Cleveland
Leader.
There was a great deal of fuss and
manipulation before the people, but
the convention simply ratified what
Cameron dictated.
***********
In personal character the ticket was
an improvement on what the machine
| has l>een in the habit of giving. Stal
wart papers are bending every energy
to get up an enthusiasm for it, but the
people see the manipulation of the
machine too plainly. As they were
permitted no opportunity to express
preference for candidates, they have
the privilege to enthuse or not, to sup
port-the ticket or not, just as they
please New Cattle Courant. <
flEto WnUl**! Citiajen: P«.» Sac 24» 1882*
Senator Jtitohell on lUeTloke*.
The news of the nomination of tbe :
State ticket was anxiously looked for
by the member of the Pennsylvania (
delegation in Congress, and when the
report ot the action of the Convention ,
had been received it gave general satis- ;
faction to the Stalwart Congressmen.
The In dependents, on the contrary,
think the nominees give no assurance j
of the houest adoption of the principles
of the Peace Conference and they look
forward to a bitter fight. Senator
Mitchell's views are a reflex of the ,
sentiments of Mr. Bayne and the other j
numbers of the delegation who are op
posed to Senator Cameron. "TLe
nomination of Marshall to be Con-1
gressinau-at-Large," said Senator j
Mitchell to-night, "was a very shrewd j
movement. It will satisfy the friends
of Brown, ot Allegheny, who were
clamorous for his nomination as Judge
of the Supreme Court, and it puts a
iittle different phase on the ticket, but
it does not alter its general character.
I do not believe the Indejfendent Con
vention will ratify th? entire ticket. It
may endorse a few of tho candidates
and it is barely possible the Independ.
ents will think it unadvisable to make
a fight against the nominee for Con
gressman &t4<ar£e. Marshall made
one of the stronger protest* against
the removal of Sullivan as Collector of
Internal Revenue for the Twenty-
Third District and I trust that Senator
Cameron wili reconsider his determina
tion to supplant Sulliyaii v,rith Jackson
and thus rcmaiu in harmony with the
nominee of his Convention for C'on-
The Convention,

the bosses, and that the bosses were
unable to regulate tho movements of
the great body of their followers; in
other words, that the Convention was
independent of machine dictation. As
a matter of fact, it has been managed
so a» to rope in the dissatisfied eJem»-RU
by a Beeming effort to satisfy the In
dependent sentiment without really do
ing auylhing to conciliate it. Ido
not believe the Stalwart leaders ever
had any intention of accepting the
work Qf the Philadelphia Conference in
good faith. The candidates with oqp
exception were selected by Mr. Cam
eron. Take the case of Greer, six
mouths ago Mr. Cameron told me he
would be the nominee for Secretary of
Internal Affairs. Rawle is an Inde
pendent, but the Independents had no
voice in Lis nomination, Mr. Cameron
selected Rawle as bis own eau.

Independents. The Independents
did not have the selection of any man
on the ticket. The objection the Inde
pendents have to Duvies i«, that he
Lad to see the bosa before he could
ask the people to nominate him." "A
great many Republicans," Senator
Mitchell further said, "will be ready
to make war on this ticket, but they
may hesitate to do so in view of
importance to the party of carry
ing the election. When I understood
the slate was made up as afterward
ratified by the Convention, with the
exception of Marshall for Congressmau
at-Large instead of Butler, I sent a
telegram to one of the delegates from
my own county that I ani willing- to

understand what the nomination of
Marshall means My dispatch was
not presented to the convention, be

was not delivered In time although it
was sent at ten o'clock in the morning.
The following is the dispatch :

tion cannot consistently ratify this work. In

harmonize the factions. My election ami al
legiance as a Senator are primarily dtie to Ihc

such a time the personal claims of no candidate
should stand in the way of harmony or princi

prevented is to adjourn this Convention over

is not done the war will be carried to the

THE attitude of Senator Miichell is

has not been unexpected. In defining
his position he does not object to tho
personal character of the candidates,
but classes most of them, as far as
their influence in Pennsylvania poll
tics is concerned, with the men whose
political policy he severely condemns.
While he will be soundly abused for the
stand he has taken, the people are iu
