BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. fc W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postojffice at Butler as second-closs* matter. Republican State Ticket. FOB GOVERNOR, JAMES A. BEAVER, of Centre county. FOB JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT, WILLIAM H. RAWLE, of Philadelphia. FOB LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR, WILLIAM T. DA VIES, of Bradford county. FOB SECBETABY INTERNA I. AFFAIRS, JOHN M. GREER, of Butler county. IN answer to an inquiry from Jas. S Craig Esq , of Allegheny twp., as to the statement that be bas been ignored as the member of the State Committee for this county, we can say that we believe the report entirely without foundation. He is the member, and we know of no person or power having tbe right to ignore him. FBANKLIN H. AGNEW, ESQ , a son of Judge Agnew, was nominated last week by the Republicans of Beaver county, as their candidate for the State Senate. This is a move in the right direction and we hope to hear of other such Senate nominations being made this year. __ THE letter of Hon. Thomas M. Mar shall, declining the nomination tender ed bim by the Ilarrisburg Republican State Convention of May 10, will be found in another place. While the letter is not as explicit as was general ly looked for, yet there is no difficulty in discovering the true reason for his refusing to serve. He has been a de cided and outspoken opponent of the Camerons for years past and of all their political methods. DON CAMEBON is reported as saying tbat he is for "war to the knife," to crush out the Independent Republicans of the State and their ticket. If this is so he will soon have few followers. He is also reported as offering to "old Tom Marshall" the right to name the man for the place on the ticket he, Marshall, declined. This is like tbat individual we read of in tbe Bible, of fering to give things he did not own. Mr. Marshall would doubtless resent any such effort to entrap him, by mak ing him a party to the worst kind of bossism. The fight going on now is just against such assumptions, the set" ting up and slating tickets in advance of public sentiment or ignoring indi vidual effort and personal merit. JUDGE MCJUNKIN, of this p'ace, came near being the nominee of the Philadelphia Republican State Con vention for Judge of the Supreme Court. He has the satisfaction of knowing, however, tbat the nominee Mr. Junkin, bears the greater part of bis name, only the "Mac" being drop ped. Tbe proceedings of the Conven tion, when it came to nominate a can didate for Supreme Judge, show what queer little incidents mav sometimes lead to queer results. Concerning this matter of Supreme Judge it must be regretted that neither of the Republi can nominees so far named is from the Western part of the State. Mr. Rawle, nominated by tbe Harrisburg Conven tion of May 10, lives in Philadelphia and was slated by Senator Cameron for that position more than six months ago. Mr. Junkin, nominated by the Convention of May 24, also resides in Philadelphia. The people of the Western part of the State want relief from tbat unjust decree by which they are compelled to go to Philadelphia for a bearing of their causes, and it looks as if they were not going to get it. THE WAY OUT. The Harrisburg Convention, of May 10, nominated Thomas M. Marshall for the post of Congressman-at-Large. It adjourned without making any pro vision for the filling of any vacancies on its ticket. There is, therefore, no power in any other than tbe people to fill any vacancy occurring on it. The . State Central Committee, appointed by tbat body, cannot fill any such vacancy, simply because no such power was given it. But if power had been given, it would be a very dangerous experi ment on tbe part of the State Com mittee to exercise it. As it is, it would be simply usurpation on its part to at tempt any such thing. Its nominating a candidate would not be respected- Mr. Marshall has declined, and his place mast be filled by a regular con vention springing frotu Republicans of the whole State. This may prove a fortunate circumstance at present, and open the door for a way out of the wil derness in which the Republicans of the State are at preseut found. Since the Harrisburg Convention the Philadelphia one hjs been held, May 24. It nominated a full Republi can State ticket. Col. William Mc- Micbael, its nominee for Congressman at-Large, is a strong an i a good man, in every respect. All Republicans could vote for biui. But whether he be chosen in tbe place of Mr. Marsha!) or not, is not now the qnestion. The matter is to have a new Convention, to see if all difficulties may not b-j remov ed. Tbe Independent Republicans would doubtless meet half way any proposition looking to concession and one united ticket. If there should be three one legged soldier candidates up on this combined ticket, what would be a surer omen of success in Novem ber ? As matters stand, defeat of both Republican tickets now in tbe field is certaiu in the fall. The escape from this—and the only one we se c—is by a new State Couventicn, by and at which all matters at variance if) the party could be solved. We arc pleased to see tbat this view is meeting with favor from both sides. PRIMARY ELECTION. Saturday is Republican primary jlection. liet there be a full turn out md a fair and free choice made. INDEPENDENT CONVENTION We give in this week's CITIZEN as full an account as possible of the pro ceedings ot the Independent Republi can State Convention, held in Phila delphia Inf-t week. We copy from the Philadelphia Press and it may, there fore, be relied upon as correct. It is our desire to give full and fair accounts of all going on in political matters, so that our readers may have all the news and thus be enabled to judge for them selves 011 all questions, whether of men or of measures. There is no disputing the fact that the ticket placed in nomination by the Independent Republican State Conven tion is composed of most worthy citi zens. That it is a good one, and a very strong one, all are willing to con cede. The platform of principles is ad mirable in thought aud expression. It takes up and finishes what the Harris burg Convention omitted. The new rules, now Jaid down by both Conven tions. if honestly carried out, will free the party in the future from all the tyranny and dictatorial methods of one man or one set of men. ANOTHER TMETFOKMED. The Independent Repnbliean Convention. liar* inonioitHly> From the Philadelphia Press, May 25.] The Independent Republican State Convention, in Horticultural Hall, yes terday, was largely attended, enthus iastic in its conduct, and bold in it 3 nominations. The platform declares for Civil Service reform, reflects se verely, if indirectly, upon the Arthur administration, and coutains radical principles of party reform. The ticket is Republican throughout. The session, though as exciting as could be wished, began, continued and ended in harmony. This ticket was nominated : For Governor, John Stewart, of Franklin. Lieutenant-Governor—Levi Bird Duff, of Allegheny. Secretary of Internal Affairs—Geo. W. Merrick, of Tioga. Cougressman-at-Large—Wm. Mc- Michael, of Philadelphia. Justice of Supreme Court—George Junkin of Philadelphia. A TEN PICTURE OF THE CONVENTION* AS ]T APPEARED TO THE PHILADEL PHIA PRESS. When Hon. I. P. McKee, of the State Committee, arose to call the In dependent Republican State Conven tion to order, in Horticultural Hall, shortly after 11 o'clock yesterday morning, he stood face to face with a gathering which has no parallel in the political annals of Pennsylvania. It looked more like a vast assembly of churchmen thau anything else. The auditorium, the galleries and stage were crowded, not with the clacquery log-rollers and half-drunken hangers-on who figure so conspicuously in the average party assembly, but with men and women, young and old, who were thoroughly representative of the highest citizenship of the Common wealth It was a gathering ofearuest, sober, intelligent men who by their conduct, individually and collectively, demonstrated that active political service involves nothing incompatible with the loftiest standard of public morals. Senator Mitchell entered the room ten minutes before the Conven tion was called to order, and his ap pearance was the signal for a storm of applause which subsided only to break out with renewed vigor upon the ar rival of Major Merrick, Hon. Charles S. Wolfe and other prominent leaders. THE ORGANIZATION. A word from Chairman McKee, of the State Committee, an eloquent prayer by Rev. D. C. Babcock, the readiug of the resolution by which the January Conference ordered the Con vention, and the body was ready for business. The nominations of Hon. John I. Mitchell for temporary chair man and Philip C. Garrett and Thom as W. Phillips for temporary vice pres idents provoked a whirlwind of cheers, and were approved by acclamation. The scene in the hall the moment Senator Mitchell appeared on the plat form was one of peculiar interest. High above bis head hung a large portrait of Garfield, festooned in ban ners and smilax; on either hand a ban ner spread away to the flats, and bear ing the inscription: "The cause for which Garfield died must not be lost." The other emblazoned with the war cry; "Let us forward his b.xttle for true Republi canism." About him on the stage were clus tered a host of men conspicuous for long and faithful service in the cause of the Republican party. George Lear, Chairniau of the recent Convention at Harrisburg. was there. Directly in frout of the stage sat told Dr. Doane, of Williamsport, who, in 18i7 at Syracuse assisted in the first Republican Convention in the Empire State; beside him was Jamc3 H. Billington, the organizer and presi dent in 1857 of the first Republican Club in Philadelphia. Just across the aisle was Abraham B irker, and near him, on the right, was L mis C. Ma deira. In the further end of the space reserved for delegates stood tae lank figure of George E Mapes and beneath him sat his old companion-in arms, Charles S. Wolfe, whose voice but a moment before was drowned by the plaudits of those he rose to address. A rod away on the right sat Senator Kaufman, of Lancaster, who so lately felt the iron blow of the machine, and two paces in front of him sat George \V. Merrick, "the officeholder who still owns himself," as a country delegate fitly expressed it. On the frjat row of chairs next the platform Senator John Stewart sat whispering to a I friend, little dreaming of tin responsi- j bility which t.he Convention was soon j to place upon his shoulders. The great audience hushed its murmers when | Senator Mitchell advanced to the frout of the stage to address the Convention. 1 It was the climax of a great crisis, j Would he retreat, now that he had iu vaded tie tent of the enemy ? would he temporize or try conciliate the foe, or would he draw the swor 1, cast away the scabbard, a ud bid defiance to his adversary'{ ' J Clj* Untitle Citiauets: fflntltx fix., HT*?r 3t, XSS2. .SENATOR MITCHELL'S ADDRESS. His brief speech removed all doubts j that may have existed in the minds ot j his hearers. His was the voieeof war. It breathed defiance and battle to tt e machine. "Whit was won for Civil Service Reform at Chicago," he said, "has not been preserved by the present Administration," und that, in his opinion, was sufficient cause for open war upon spoils-men and their sys tem. "Call the roll of delegates," said Chairman Mitchell to the Secretary as soon as the tidal wave of cheers which greeted his address had subsided—and the Secretary did as ordered, but he did it under" difficulties. Every name which the audience recognized as thiit of a fighting ludependeut was received with cheering, which continued until the possessor of the name rose and sig nified his presence. "I am here," was all that Wolf said, but he said it in such a way that meant a great deal.. "I am here, too," re sponded Senator Stewart to the cheers. "I am hereto resolve with you,"thun dered Dr. W. C. Doane, "that this Con vention shall place the grand old Re publican party where the immortal Lincoln found it and where the sainted Garfield would have left it." Aod so it ran on all through the list. Hampton L. Carson was furiously cheered, and so was Major'Merrick Wolfe moved for committees on Plat form and Permauent Organization. They were appointed and the Conven tion took a rec«?S3. The Committee on Permanent Or ganization reported 11. L. Foster, of Oil City, for Chairman, and alter the report was unanimously ratified, that gentleman, in assuming the duties of the chair, delivered an address in which in reply to a query, why he, the former President of a Garfield club should oceupv his present position, de clared that his services in behalf of Garlield were all the more reason that he should do all in his power to crush the system to which Garfield's death was directly traceable. Tlie Platform Adopted. The platform was then reported and read. It was received with orderly interest, which broke into approving uoi»e at the phrases : "The calamity of this assassination has been followed by the overthrow of these reforms in the hands of his successor"; "we declare our purpose to take up the work which fell when Garfield fell"; andatthelast clause, the one omitted from the llar risburg platform. The Independent Republican platform follows: The Republicans of Pennsylvania who will not surrender their political rights and who maintain the exercise of their own conscience and judgment concerning public affairs, having as sembled in State Convention, make the following declaration of principles and purpose: JF'JRST We declare our attachment to the principles of the Republican party freedom, uniou, nationality, equal rights before the law, mainten ance of the public faith, protection to home industry—and we demand that the record which has been made shall be wiselv and fearlessly perpetuated. SECOND—We declare that the nom ination and election of J. A. Gai'ueld to the Presidency signified to us the triumph of a true reform in the Civil Service and an enlarged liberty of ac tion for the masses of the Republican party in the nominations of their can didates and in the conduct of their party affairs, and we deplore the overwhelming evidence presented to us in Pennsylvania that the calamity of thisassassination ha 3 been followed by the overthrow of these reforms in the hands of his successors. THIRD—We denounce the system which makes "patronage" and "spoils" out of public offices; we denounce the practice of giving them to political managers for use in advancing personal ends: we denounce the removal of faithful and competent officers in the absence of a public reason; we denounce the practice of levying assessments and demandiug contributions for party use from pub'ic officials; we denounce severally and collectively the evils of corruption which accompany the con duct of the Government as a "spoils system" and which are inseparable from such a method of administration, and we denounce the system of "boss rule" and "machine control!" which when tamely endured, makes leaders into autocrats and reduces the mass of the citizens iuto political bondage. FOURTH—We declare our purpose to take up the work which fell when Garfield fell. We demand, in place of the "spoils system," the reformation ot the Civil Service by law, so that the appoiuted places therein may be fully open to all fit and meritorious citizens, and removals shall be only for good and sufficient pu'/iic cause. We de mand, instead of the prostitution of the public service to private uses, its rec ognition as a high and honorable trust, to be administered for the people's benefit, with efficiency, economy and integrity. We demand, instead of the insolence, the proscription and tyranny of'bossism" and "machine rule," the free and conscientious exercise of pri vate judgment in political affairs aud the faithful discharge by those who assume representative trusts of the ex pressed will of the people. FIFTH—We declare in /avor of the following party reforms: 1. That delegates to State Conven tions shall be chosen by the people in the manner in which candidates for the General Assembly are nominated. 2. That representation in the State Convention shall be by counties, and shall be appointed according to their Republican vote. 3. That State Conventions- shall not be held without at least sixty days' j notice, or earlier than the second Wed- , nesdav of July, except in Presidential years. 4. That the Republicans who voted for the Republican candidate for Presi dent at the Presidential election next preceding shall be entitle! to join in the choice of delegates to the State £nd National Conventions. NOMINATIONS MADE. The Convention heaved a sigh of | relief, for a number of delegates had i been o-i their feet with various radical j propositions. The decks were now j fairly cleared for action, and the Chair man announced that nominations were in order. The first real sensation of the day came next. Major Merrick, whose beaming, honest face and win ning smile had been a centre of obser vation, rose from his seat in the rear part of the delegates benches, aud in substance withdrew from the contest for the Gubernatorial nomination, iu which he had been, without word or 1 i deed of his owu, the leading figure. , l Major Merrick then formally nomi nated Daniel Agnew, whose name was | i received with cheers. Levi Bird Duff seconded the nomination. Another motiou to adjourn was lost, I and then the colossal form of Dr. j Doane arose, and he nominated John j Stewart, a Dame which he said, was so well known that it needod no praise ; i j a name that would be a tower of. strength to the ticket, and draw to its support all the young men of the State who were in revolt. There was theu a little squabble over a recess. "Xocaueus! noeaucus!" was echoed from one side of the hall to the other. But Mr Wolfe quietly said that he believe ! it wise to adjourn, that the delegates might "compare notes," and, after a doubtful vote, Chairman Foster declared the Con vention adjourned for an hour. SENATOR STEWART NOMINATED. During recess, the delegates strolled to dinner, aud hurried back to the hall, busily discussing the two nominations. By the time the roll was half called the result was evident. Colonel Duff was on his feet ready to make the nom ination unanimous. The vote was: For Stewart, 13.9 ; for Agnew, 62. On motion of Colonel Duff, the nomina tion was made unanimous. And then the restrained enthusiasm broke loose in one overwhelming chorus of cheers and cries for "Stewart." Delegates jumped in their seats and yelled till they were hoarse for the head of the ticket. It was announced that Mr. Stewart would speak after the ticket was complete, and the Convention pro ceeded to the nomination of Lieutenant- Governor. TUE OTHER NOMINATIONS. The nomination of a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor was accomplished • without much more delay than was necessary to cail the roll. Colonel Levi Bird Duff, of Allegheny, was nominated by several delegates at once and his name was received with ap plause. John G. Yarrow then offered the name of Colonel William Mc- Michael, but subsequently withdrew . it. The Dr. Doane nominated Charles S. Wolfe, saying that as he polled fifty thousand votes a year ago he would ; probably poll a million this time. W T hen the applause which greeted this remark | had subsided, Mr. Wolfe's voice was heard in protest. He said that if he thought he could do any good to the cause by accepting a place on the ticket he would do so, but his convic ' tion was decided and unalterable that he could best serve by remaining in | the ranks. "My time has been," he J continued, while his voice shook with 1 emotion. "I never expect my time to ' come. Therefore, with gratitude to ' mv esteemed friend from Lycoming, I j ask you to accept my declination." Dr. Doane then withdrew Mr. Wolfe's name, and J. R. Kcons, of Luzerne ' county, nominated Major George W. ' Merrick, of Tioga. The Chair then announced that the roll would be call ed, saying: "I am reminded that the ' two nominees have but two legs be ' tween them." The result of the ballot showed 144 votes for Duff and 41 for Merrick. Major Merrick voted for Colonel Duff aud was applauded. When the vote was announced. Major 1 Merrick and E. Dunbar Lockwood simultaneously moved to make the nomination of Colonel Duff unanimous. Mr. Wolfe seconded the motion, say ing: "I wish to say that I am in favor of the election of the one-legged soldier and the Christian gentleman— not the one who wears the shameful 305 medal, but one who has been ready to cast to the winds all personal aims." Colonel Duffs nomination was then made unanimous amid great applause. All was now ready to fill the third place on the ticket, when Mr. Mapes suggested that it was getting late in tii* day and time might be saved. "There is one man," said Mr. Mapes, warmly, "who had fair prospects this morning to stand at the head of this ticket. He manfully declined to take the place." Loud applause interrupt ed Mr. Mapes, and the one legged postmaster's pale face grew crimson. "I move," concluded Mr. Mapes, "that Major George W. Merrick be nominated by acclamation for Secre tary of Internal Affairs." The hall (airly rang, and Mr. Wolfe sprang to his feet and warmly seconded the nom ination. There was at once a seene of great excitement, ilalf the delegates were on their feet, shouting with the en thusiasm which Merrick's self-denial had inspired and wildly waving their hats. Major Merrick, whose face had grown pale again, stood like a statue in the midst of the whirl about him, rais ing his white hand appealingly to ward the Chair. But his modesty was iu vain. He could not refuse. Chairman Foster at once put the ques tion, and it was carried with a deafen ing shout. "Major Merrick is the uominee for Secretary of Internal Af fairs," sharply said Mr. Foster, "and it is so ordered." With the honor thus forced upon him, Major Merrick a few depreciating words, which were drowned in a flood of con gratulation. The nomination of Congressman-at- Largc was effected in short order and with fcreat enthusiasm. Joseph It. Rhodes, of Philadelphia, in a very few words presented the name of Colonel William McMichael. E. Dunbar Lock wood quickly seconded the nom ination and moved that Col. McMichael be elected by acclamation. The propo sition was received with great ap plause, and cries of "Question ! Ques tion !'. from all parts of the hall. The Chairman, in putting the motion, asked for a hearty response, which vas given with a will Then there were more applause and cheering and loud cries for Colonel McMichael, but as that gentleman was not present the Convention proceeded to its last task. TIIE JUDGESHIP. The Chairman announced that the candidates for nomination were Ebe nezer MeJunkin and Thomas Finletter. Dr. Doane withdrew the name of Mr. McJunkin, and motion to adjourn until 8 o'clock was carried. At 8:25 o'clock Chairman Foster rapped sharply with his gavel for or der. Trior to this time it had been as certained that Philip C. Garrett, -Jo seph Parrish and Wi"* lim C. Harris had visited George Junkin, of this city, and had obtained from him per mission to use his name as a nominee for Supreme Judge. F. Dunbar Lock wood at once opened the business of the eveniug by addressing the Chair. ! "Sir," said Mr Lockwood, "on behalf j of the Philadelphia delegation I am instructed—" At tlrs junction the name of Judge Finletter was with-j drawn from the list of nominees bo fore the Convention, aud Mr. Lock wood again rote. "1 am instructed," said lie, "to present the name cf Mr. Juakin. While no words of mine can fitly testify to his worth, the nom ination will be seconded by a gentle" man, a member of the Philadelphia bar, who can present his claims in the proper light.'' William C. Harris, in seconding the motion, observed, amid great applause that Mr. Junkin's qualities as a judge were ol first class order, and if put up on their ticket would be thoroughly recognized by the whole people of Philadelphia and wherever he was known. It was important that the nomination for that office should come from Philadelphia. They demanded nothing acd dictated nothing: they asked nothiug unfairly, but only said to the Convention that for yeurs past, when there were only five judges on the Supreme Bench, two were from Philadelphia. He was credibly in formed that the Democrats would send their nomination from Philadelphia. He trusted, in conclusion that the nomiuation would meet with uncui mous acceptance. The motion was carried unanimous ly amid great cheering. MR. MAtsiALL'S LETTER. Declining the nomiiitUion for Cougr4>i*sinHii-a(-L:irgc on (be llarri*t>iir£ Ticket. PITTSBURGH, May 22, 1382. Hon. George Lear: My DKAR Slß —The kind and eulo gistic language of your letter convey ing official notice of my "unanimous nomination for Congressman-at-Large" by the Republican State Convention, can be appreciated as the exuberaut warmth of personal friendship. It would have been a man of stolid tem perament, who could be insensible to the enthusiastic reception accorded to the nomination. It was the result of passionate excitement rather than the calm judgment of a deliberative body. The tender of the position which would have enabled me to appear be fore the people of the Commonwealth and demand a literal observance and fulfilment of the letter and spirit of the platform adopted by the Convention, was a strong temptation towards an tcceptance of the trust. The profes sion of faith therein set forth, in my udgment, embodies sound political loctrine and practice and is in accord with the patriotic wishes of the peo ale. It would have afforded me satis faction to enforce and maintain the proposition, that public trusts should be administered with the same scrupu lous fidelity as private trusts ; that no diversion from the original purpose 3bould be permitted. It is mockery of common business sense to displace tried and faithful servants, in order to provide places for hungry applicants who may prove as» worthless as they are voracious No sane man so ai?ts in his private affairs ; it is equally re pugnant to sound economy in the ad ministration of public interests. The use of public patronage to con trol or direct the people in their choice of candidates for office, is a grave po litical crime ; it subverts the princi ples of representative government and tends to make the servant master, to the common debasement of the people. To have aided in some degree in call ing attention to these vital questions of the hour, would have been my duty as a nominee. The great moral and political ideas which called the Re publican party into existence, have be come imbedded in the organic law of the laud. If it is the mission of the present party organization to go for ward in the spirit of the platform, it should succeed. If it fails to come up to the full measure of its promise, it should perish Mere party obligations sit very lightly on my shoulders, the call upon me for party service was a genuine surprise, ono not likely to be repeated in a lifetime; it came un sought and should not be declined without adequate and commanding reasons. Such exist in my case. Personal and private duties in which the public take no interest., demand that all my energies be devoted to their fulfillment. Therefore, I must decline the proffered position. To say that I do so with great reluctance, but faintly expresses the fact. A life time has been devoted to the advocacy of those principles which constituted the grandeur and glory of the republi can triumph; that triumph was accom plished at a priceless cost. May the inheritors of the name and organization prove themselves worthy to administer the future of the party. Sincerely your friend, THOMAS M. MARSHALL. "ffIARKIED.
