REV. R. E. MCBRIDE, formerly of
this county and now of Senaca, Kansas,
has been appointed President of the
Western Reserve College, at West
Farmington, Ohio, and will accept the
same.
EX-PRESIDENT Grant has been nom
inated by President Autber a Com
missioner to negotiate a new treaty
with Mexico, for commercial and rail
road purposes, etc.
GEN. HARRISON ALLEN, of Warren,
formerly Auditor General of this State,
has been nominated and confirmed
Marshal of the Territory of Dakota.
Gov. SHERMAN, of lowa, has issued a
proclamation declaring the result of the
election on the adoption of the prohi
bition amendment, to be 155,436 votes
for and 125,677 against the adoption,
being a majority for adoption of 29,759.
He commands all persons to take
notice and govern themselves accord
ingly.
MB. ROBINSON modestly says he is
"too bumble to excite envy, and too
inoffensive to create disgust." The
first part of the above quotation will
readily be admitted. No person ever
has or could possibly envy him. But
as to the second part be makes a
great mistake He has the habits
that "create disgust" to a degree
equal to that of the polecat.
THE Democratic Congressional con
ferees of the Twenty-fifth district, com
post d of Armstrong, Clarion, Forest,
Indiana and Jefferson counties, met at
Kittanningon last Thursday. James
Mosgrove, who defeated Gen. Harry-
White by a small majority two years
ago, was nominated unanimously on the
first ballot, and, in accordance with a
previous understanding, promptly de
clined. The conferees then divided on
Dr. St. Clair and a Mr. Lockwood.
After sixteen ballots, J. Dennison
Patton, of Indiana county, was nomi
nated.
CONU&ESS a bill, known as
the Riyer and Harbor bill, appropriat
ing upwards of eighteen millions of dol~
lars lor the improvement of rivers, etc.
Many of these rivers were very small
ones and in distant parts. The Presi
dent vetoed the bill on the ground
mainly that the improvement of these
streams was not for the "common de
fence," or "general welfare," and the
appropriation was therefore not consti
tutional. Congress, however, on Wed
nesday last, passed the bill over the
head of the veto, by a two-thirds vote
in each house. We incline to think
the views of the President in his veto
were right and that the bill should not
have been passed.
THE New York Republican State
Convention is not to be held until
the 20th of September, when a Repub
lican candidate for Governor and
other State officers are to be nomina
ted. This is in strong contrast with
the practice in Pennsylvania where
our State Conventions are held so
early. New York is a more impor
tant and a more uncertain State,
politically, than Pennsylvania, and
yet her Republicans wait a reasona
ble time aud give the masses of the
party time to bo beard from before
rushing through State nominations.
Before the 20th of September the Re
publicans of this State could have
time to settle all their troubles if any
opportunity was afforded them.
IT is the opinion of many leading
Republicans that Gen Beaver will
soon decline to further be a candidate
for Governor. This is thought by
some of the wisest and oldest heads
in tho party to be the best course he
could pursue under present circum
stances. He is vet young, and such a
move on his part would not only
solve and settle all questions now
dividing the party, but would make
him vastly stronger in the future-
He could afford to do it: but he can
not afford to be defeated, as now
seems inevitable he will be. We do
not know what foundation there is
for the reports, comiug from Wash
ingtrfn and elsewhere, that he will
decline, and not stand in the way of
securing peace and harmony in the
party through one united ticket, but {
we do believe that he is not the man |
to so stand and risk all his fair future, <
when he aees the situation as it really '
is. It would be a manly act on his j
p irt and one that all would remember j
n th) future. <
DON CAMERON'S strength in tLe
United States Senate lies with the
Southern members. He makes it a
point to keep on good terms with and
court the influence of the Democratic
Senators from the South. In this
way he has carried some confirmations
over the yotcs of the Northern He
publican Senators. In the absence of
his family from Washington he in
vites as guests to his house Democrat
ic Southern Senators, having two
such there now, Senator Hamburg
Butler of South Carolina, and Sena
tor Vest of Missouri, who live and
lodge with him, as part of bis house
hold, so said.
■'We can easily condone Mr.
Davies' offense —it was his first one.
We condoned Mr. BrahanCs, and
may go farther — last week
Thanks, thanks, good priest. Mr. Da
vies, now candidate on the Regular Re
publican State ticket for Lieutenant
Governor, as a State Senator from
Bradford county last winter a year,
voted for Galusha A. Grow for
United States Senator against the
caucus man, Oliver. Mr. Braham,
as a member of the House
from this county, did the same thing
They both did one and the same
thing at one and the same time
both obeying the wishes of their
people. Mr. Robinson, senior editor
of the Eagle here, forgot about Mr.
Davies' vote, but did oof, forget
about Mr. Braham's, and was, un.
thinkingly no doubt, making use of it
against Mr. Braham. But we are
glad be has corrected himself. They
are both ''condotjed'' now, pardoned,
and may be happy. True, the Re
publicans of this county had "com
doned" Mr. Braham at the late pri
maries, by regularly and fairly nomi
nating him, by tbc highest vote given
to any candidate for tho AssepWy
But Mr. Robinson has now added his
"condone," and the pardon is there
fore perfect and complete.
PETITIONS CIRCULATED.
A petition asking for a new State
Convention and an entirely new ticket
aud circulated in Fredonia received
tbirty-two signatures out °f thirty
seven Republicans who were approach
ed. This is a significant Btraw. The
same petition circulated all over the
State would make imperative a solu
tion of existing difficulties hitherto
bitterly opposed by Chairman Cooper.
The above is taken from the
Mercer, Pa., Republican, of last
Thursday, and if the Republicans in
other parts of the State would take the
matter in hand, as have the Republi'
cans of Fredonia, Mercer county, we
would vet have a new State Conven
tion. ftine-tenths of the Republicans
of this county are in favor of a new
State Convention, as the only way
out of the present condition. Wo
have been advocating it all along and
have not yet given up hope that
something of that kind will be done.
If the candidates of one wing bad
accepted the proposition of the other
to all withdraw and have a new
ticket, tl:ere would have been a new
convention called before this. But as
the matter stands, any hope or action can
only come through the people now,
and the Republicans of Mercer county
have therefore set a good example
which if followed up by other counties
will lead to a good result.
EX. COLLECTOR SULLIVAN.
Last week we took occasion' to re
fer to the good record of our former
townsman, Col. John M. Sullivan, at
the Internal Revenue Department,
Washington, as the late Collector
for the 23d district of this State.
Since then we notice in the Pittsburgh
papers of the 2d inst. the following
letter from the head of that Depart
ment addressed to Col. Sallivan,
which must be very gratifying to him-
It is indeed a strong official testimo
nial to his integrity and efficiency, and
a letter of which any man might be
proud:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, )
OEFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON, July 29, 1882. )
Hon. J. M. Sullivan, Allegheny, Pa.
SIR I make the statement of your
accounts as Collector of the Twenty
third District of Pennsylvania the
occasion to express to you my satis
faction at the manner in which you
administered that office.
During the period of your incum
bency, from April 1, 1870, to July 1,
1882, you collected eight million two
hundred and eighty-one thousand and
sixty-six dollars aud twenty-seven
cents ($8,281,060,27) and the state
ments of the First Comptroller show
that the same was duly accounted for.
I was glad to hear you in conver
sation, yesterday, recur with pleasure
to the agreeable olflrial intercourse,
between yourself and this office. The
ability exhibited by you in the admin
istration of your office is a matter of
record here. In leaving tho public
service you carry with you my best
wishes for your prosperity and suc
cess. Very respectfully,
GREEN B. RAUM,
Commissioner.
The Olfl Burial Ground.
The condition of tho old grave yard
of this place is again demanding the
attention of some of our citizens.
Some years ago the old stone fence
around that burial lot was removed,
for some cause, and with the promise
that an iron one would be put in its
place. The stone fence is gone but
no iron one is yet in its place, as prom
ised. Somebody is in default in this
matter and it should be looked up.
Besides this, the weeds and grass
are now growing up rank in this old
burial groand, so sacred to the mem
ory of many old citizens who lay
buried there. Should there not be a
meeting of citizen for the purpose of
having something done to reclaim
the old burial place of the town from
desolation ?
Sir* : UniLeie, fi*., $, 1882.
POLITICAL.
VIEWS I'ltOJl ALL §II»ES.
NOT SURRENDER BUT SUCCESS.
From Philadelphia Press, of July 31.]
The Times takes occasion to sav:
The Press heroically led tho Inde
pendents to revolution until the point
was reached when they must fight or
surrender, and then it heroically called
for a surrender. The Press halts as it j
halted last year; the Independents
move on as they moved on last year,
and they will read from the Press to
answer the Pi ess, when it attempts
service for the cause of the Boss ma
ichine.
The Press 'led' or fought side by
side with the Independent Republicans
until the Independent Republicans se
cured a full concession of all that they
had demanded. And it will continue to
fight their battles wheneyer and wher
ever the principles of Independent Re
publicanism—that is, free popular rule
and complete liberation from boss con
trol—are at stake. But in waging
this contest for the broadest Republi
can principles the Press was laboring
to promote the unity and success, and
not the disruption and defeat of the
party.
The Independent Republicans clear
ly defined their purposes and demands
in the Peace Conference prior to the
Harrisburg Copveqtion. The Press
earnestly urged t'ueir acceptance.
When the split came the Press insist
ed that the question in difference should
be remitted to the decision of the Re
publican masses, through a new Con
vention clearly based upon popular ruel
and upon every principle for which the
Independent Republicans had contend
ed. The Independent Republicans sus
tained and applauded this course as
fair and just. Many of the Regulars
came to recognize it as the rational and
only feasible method of settlement
Under the influence of the powerful
sentiment thus created, the Republi
can Stafp Committee offered a proposi
tion embracing cfiqpeggion which
the Independents had demanded—a
new Convention, with power even to
make a new ticket, chosen fresh from
the people, under the new rules, with
a new apportionment based on the Re
publican Garfield *oie &nd
supervision of an Independent Com
mittee.
Having strenuously advocated this
pjau of adjustment and having carried
it on the side, the Prest was
bonod by every consideration qf con
sistency and honor to urge its accept
ance. Had it declined in the very
hour of success to sustain the propo
sitloq U j)sd steadily supported, it
would justly naye st»bjecte<J itself to re
proach and condemnation,
view others might take, the Press
could not consent to stultify itself QF
disregard the obligations of good faith.
We felt then, as wo feel now, that the
questions of difference might fairly and
safely be left to a new Conventioq,
with such safeguards qgainct machine
perversion as this proposition provid
ed, aud we have had full confidence
that such a Convention would agree
upon a ticket on whicn ali Republicans
could unite. There is no surrender in
accepting a proffer of all the conces
sions we have demanded—on the con
trary, to secure it is itself a complete
triumph. The most extreme Inde
pendent Republicans do not deny that
the offer of a new Convention under
the proposed terms is fair or that it
embodies every principle for which
thev have fought. Indeed, they con-
I foss themselves bound to accept it
j with the single condition that the
present ticket* shall be barred out
This is not a question of principle but
of men ; it is not a matter of right but
expediency ; and it properly belongs to
the Convention itself. The good
judgment of the Republican masses
would rightly settle it.
VVdat troubles the Times is, not
that the Press urges a surrender, for
there is no surrender, but that it urges
a settlement. That is precisely what
our esteemed cotemporary docs not
want. The Times has rendered great
public service in promoting reform in
the city of Philadelphia. Its vigor,
courage and persistence in this cause
deserve cordial recognition. But while
the Times may agree with Independ
ent Republicans in seeking measures of
reform, it has no desire, as they have,
to maintain the ascendency of the Re
publicen party. On the contrary, it is
ingeniously laboring for Republican
defeat. It supported Dill for Govern
or in 1878 and Hancock for President
n 1880. In the present campaign it
s ably directing a'l its energies to se
cure the election of Pattison, and it is
adroitly attempting to play the Inde
pendent Republican for this purpose.
But when the Independent Republi
cans, with sense and judgment, can
hold the future of the Republican party
in their own hands, it will be strange
if they allow themselves to be used as
catspaws to pull the Democratic chest
nuts out of the fire.
SENATOR LEE'S DISTRICT.
FRANKLIN, Pa., Aug. I.—The con
ferees to nominate a Democratic can
didate in the 48th Senatorial District
met here to-day. R. G. Lamberton,
of Venango county, and C. A. Noyes,
of Warren county, were candidates.
Sixteen ballots were taken without
making a nomination. OJ the 17th
Lamberton withdrew as a candidate,
and Noyes was nominated.
The Republicans have made no nom
ination, aud it is expected there will
be a deadlock between J. W. Lee—
present Senator—andW.S Benedict, of
VVarreu. This is counted upon by
Democrats, and they have DO doubt
but they can carry the district in that
event. Senator L'je will not yield,
and it is said Cameron will keep Beue
dict in the field to defeat Lee, even at
expense of his party. The nomination
of Noyes to-day will give the Con
gressional nomination to H. B. Plumer,
of Venango.
OIL CITY INDEPENDENTS.
Special Dispatch to THE PRESS.
OIL CITY, Aug. I.—A largely at
tended and enthusiastic Independent
Republican meeting was held this
evening at Armory Hall. Clubs were
organized with H. L. Foster president,
J. W. Davis aud W. J. lnnis vice
presidents, G. W. Carr and F. W. i
Bowen secretaries, D. Bolard treasurer, i
and a leading Republican from each i
ward as an executive committee. 1
Upon taking the chair Mr. Foster ad- I
dressed the meeting in a strong speech, I
which was applauded to the echo ]
After the platform had been read those i i
in attendence signed the roll, the sign- j
ers comprising tlje very best men in I
the city. Au unexpected amount of t
enthusiasm was developed, and it is i
apparent the campaign will be a de
cidedly warm one.
THE PROH IUITIONISTS IN BEAVER'S
COUNTY.
Special Dispatch to THE PRESS.]
BELLEFONTE, Aug. I.—A vigorous
canvass is being made by the Prohibi
tionists in Centre county. A county
Convention was recently held in Belle
fonte, and a thorough county organiza
tion was effected in the interest of the
Constitutional amendment to prevent
the manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquors in this State.
Why Beaver Is Losing Ground.
Doylestown Intelligencer, Rep.
General Beaver is certainly acquaint
ed with the fact that a good many Re
publicans in Pennsylvania have deter
mined that "boss" rule shall come to
an end in this State, and that Senator
Cameron shall not have things all his
own way at Harrisburg next wiuter.
Although the regular Republican can
didate for Governor asserts that he be
longs to no man, he cannot fail to see
that the old ' machine" is working with
might and main for his election. Gen.
Beaver is consequently losing ground
with the people. It may be bis fault
or merely his misfortune; the fact is
apparent.
Independents llie Only True
Republ leans.
From Saturday's New York Tribune.
"Personal government prostitutes
a public trust to tb e advantage of a
ruler or boss. Popular government
treats all official power as a sacred
trust, to be used solely for the good of
the people. It considers any man a
wrong-doer and a plunderer who uses
for the Jbenefit of any person or fac
tion the trust designed to establish
and maintain government of the peo
plu, and for th e PP°p|e- T r « e ftepub
licanism demands such a government
and no other. Personalism seeks gov
ernment of a boss, and for a boss.
"The best and truest Republicans
are those who are most faithful to Re
publican principles, in this as in other
respects. The use of official position
and power fjy gjenator Cameron to
perpetuate his own dictatorship, to
deprive the people of their rightful
share in the government, and to make
a great political party merely the tool
of his personal will or ambition, is at
&ai aitji Republican principles, and
those are better and truer Republicans
than he is who resists that abuse of
power."
Mercer Co. Committee Meeting.
Ffoip Mercer Republican.
The County Committee at its meet*
ing on Saturday exhibited a distaste
for foolishness. Certain parties, be
coming imbued with the strictly Stal
wart. element to secure prestige by the
Introduction of {.-esojiftions endorsing
the regular State ticket; and the action
of thp regular State Committee, prepar
ed such resolutions and had them
presented to the Committee. That
body iyas D °t in a humor to pass reso
lutions prepared for a purely factional
purpose. They at once stirred np thp
oppositiop was anticipated and
that the authors of the resolutions bad
hoped to crush with a storming affirma
tive yote. The sequel showed the
utter folly of the movement, and the
discord that threatened the success of
our county ticket. The resolutions
were disposed of in a summary man
ner, bijt not until considerable feeling
was manifested and it apparent
that their adoption would meet the
disapproval of a considerable portion of
the Republicans of the county. Pru
dence, the safety of local candidates
and the desire to secure practical har
mony in county affairs, coupled with
the direct opposition of a portion of the
Committee to the resolutions, made it
advisable to lay the whole matter aside.
Tho temper and action of the Com
mittee revealed the fact that the
dominant feeling in the county was for
a new convention and an entirely new
ticket. Another conclusion was vir
tually reached, namely, that whatever
hoae3t differences of opinion actually
existed in State politjps the two
wings of the party would mutually
recognize each other as Republicans
and work harmoniously together to
elect the county ticket, which was of
supremo importance. Excepting this
one jar, the meeting of the Committee
was harmonious and satisfactory. An
efficient chairman was elected who will
skillfully and energetically manage
the campaign. Entire good feeling
over the county ticket is everywhere
reported and it will receive the old
fashioned majority.
TIIE Republicans of New York, say
the West Chester Pa., Village Record,
are in no haste, apparently, about
making their nomination for Governor
to be voted for in November. Their
State Committee, which met in New
York City on Wednesday, discussed
three different dates—the 13th, 20th
and 27th of September—and decided
on the 20th. No earlier time was
even suggested, and it calls attention,
once more, to the great haste shown
in Pennsylvania, at times. This year
the Harrisburg convention met on the
10th of May, but even earlier dates had
been proposed. This was six months
before the election. lowa, Illinois and
other of the Northern States have held
their Convetions within a few days.
Massachusetts has appointed hers for
some time in September. In the case
of New York, whose large area, com
plicated political relations and close
divisions of parties make the campaign
very severe and laborious, it would
seem that as much time would be need
ed as in any other State, yet the 'lie
publicans thero give themselves
jusi seven weeks. Their ideas seem
to differ very widely from those pre
vailing in Pennsylvania.
AGOORDINU to General Beaver, Mr
Davies and the others of the "regular"
ticket, the proposition of Stewart and
his associates, that all the candidates
withdraw, is "defranchising" them,
and they treat it as an unheard of
thing. Did not Grow and Wanamaker
decline to be nominated ? Did not
Marshall decline the nomination that
had been given him ? Did not Blaine
and Sherman command their friends
and supporters at Chicago to vote for
them no longer, when they thought
they could save their party by so do
ing ? The people have not, of course,
any right to suppose that political
bosses will decline for the sake of
harmony. They are not in politics
for harmony, or to decline they are in
politics for themselves, and to make
all they can out of it, and when they
get a nomination they are naturally
loth to give it up. Therein is where
they differ from the Independents.—

A Xejjleeied Opportunity.
From Wellsboro Pa. Agitator, Aug. I.]
It is to be regretted that the Inde
pendent State Committee, which met
at Philadelphia last Thursday, did not
agaiu submit to Mr. Cooper's Com
mittee the proposition made by the
foar Independent candidates on the
I3th of July. It is true that the Reg
ulars had already hastened to reject
that proposition when made by the
candidates, and there remained little
hope that they would accept it if
offered by the Committee; neverthe
less it would have been well to give
them a chance to reconsider that re
jection, in the hope that public opinion
might impel them to reverse their ac
tion.
But it is now vain to hope for any
compromise or agreement by the two
Committees. Th»* leadiug spirits of
both of them have evidently become so
heated by the contest on which they
have entered that it is impossible for
tbem to appreciate or even understand
the feeling of the rank and file of the
party. The onlj hope of an accommo
dation now lies in the action of the
candidates themselves ■, and so far as
we can judge, the only substantial ob
stacles to peace and union are at pres
ent to be found under the hats of Mr.
Beaver and Mr. McMichael—the head
and tail of tho respective tickets—who
seem to be about equal in obstinacy
though not in folly. Whether tfeese
men can be induced to t.»ke themselves
out of the way is doubtful; but it now
seems reasonably certain that if they
do not withdraw the present factional
fight must go on to its legitimate con
elusion—the certain defeat of both Re
publican State tickets next Xoveml»er-
Yisllors.
Last week we had a yi-iit A'OW s&me
pleasant and valued friends.
Dr. Charles B. Gillespie, of Free
port. Pa., dropped in upon us and we
were really glad to see him in such
robust health and fine spirits. The
Doctor is always in good humor, and
his cordial, hearty ways make him an
ever welcome old friend. There are
few more scholarly gentjenjen than
Charles B. Gillespie. ifis younger
days were spent in Butler and his visit
was to see his aged uncle, Mr. Peter
Duffy, and his many other friends here.
He has been located at Freeport for
sopje years, wherf he has acquired an
extensive practice in medicine and
surgery.
Hon. Galusha A. Grow. This gen
tleman paid Butler a visit last week.
He is interested in some coal lands
about Brady's l}end and (lie visit was
purely of a business nature. Mr. Grow,
however, talked freely on the political
situation in this State, and the active
and influential part he has heretofore
jrj politics give his opinions
value and weight. He tbin|s tbece is
but little hope for Republican success
in the State this fall unless the breach
in the party i 8 healed. The proposition
made by the independents, to with
draw both present tickets, he thought
was the only one that would have
reached to the bottom of the case and
securpd perfec| harmony, as it would
have been useless to hqyq had & new
State Convention and Fe-nomiuated
either of the old tickets. He had still
hopes of something yet being done to
secure but oue ticket. Few prominent
men in the State have felt the power
of Cameronißm more than Mr. Grow,
and he thinks Cameron is now making
bis Jq,st struggle but that the people
will win.
Hon. Robert A. Mifflin and Mr. S.
C. Hutchinson, of Washington tp., were
in town last Friday, ou business con
nected with the township.
Dr. A. W. Crawford, of Allegheny
twp., was on a business visit here last
week He is looking healthy and
quite active.
Col. John M. Sullivan, of Allegheny
city, visits his mother and siater
here frequently.
Thomas W. Phillips, Esq , of New

The Democratic candidate for Gov

Cassidy's oflloe less than ton years
ago. Among his fellow, students in
the same office and under the same
preceptor were James Gay Gordon,
Wra. H. Harrity and James Kennedy.
Harrity is Chairman of the Democratic

as such is running his committee in the
interest of Cassidy for United States
Senator. Messrs. Gordon and Kenne

so wedded to Cassidy's interest that
they will bolt the caucus in the event
of any other candidate than Cassidy
receiving the caucus nomination for
Senator.
In order to promote the interest of
