COL. W. D. SLACK, formerly of
Brady's Bend Iron Works, and now of
Little Rock, Arkansas, we see it stated
has been nominated as the Republican
candidate for Governor of that State-
FENCING RAILROADS.
Tbe following resolution was passed
at a meeting held in New Castle last
week and refers to a subject we have
often thought of and advocated :
Resolved, That the railroads should
be compelled by law to fence and keep
fenced their premises, or l»e held sub
ject to all damages within thirty days,
without appeal.
There is every reason forthejustr
ness and right of a law being passed
in this State to make railroad compan
ies build or replace fences they tear
down or destroy in making their track.
Such a law exists in some other States
and it should in Pennsylvania.
TUE Mercer Dispatch of tbe ISth
inst., seems to think that one man's
candidacy is more important than Re*
publican success io the State this fall.
In our issue of the 9th inst, we stated
that it was "the opinion of many lead
ing Republicans that Gen. Beaver will
soon decline to further be a caudidatp
for Governor." That opinion prevailed
then and it prevails yet. And, if we
mistake not, it was Fhared in by the
member in Congress from this district'
Mr. Miller, at least to the extent that
it ought or had better be so. And the
Republican County Committee of
Mercer county recently supported tbe
same view, by refusing to endorse the
ticket upon which Gen. Beaver stood,
or to endorse cither of the present State j
tickets. This recent action in Mercer
county make* the article in the Dis
patch to appear as rather out of place
for that locality. But tbe committee
of that county but expressed the opinion
prevailing among Republicans of the
State in every county. It is founded
upon a just apprehension ot results in
November, in which Gen. Beaver has
more to fear, and may be to suffer,
than any other candidate now before
the people. It is well understood that
he is nearly the whole strength of the
ticket upon which he is placed. But.
is h'e going to suffer himself to be dash
ed to pieces to accommodate others ?
Does anyone not see that there is no
reason or right in others requiring him
to butt his bead against a wall ? He
knows, and all know now, that he alone
stands in the way of a united ticket for
Governor. Our Mercer contemporary,
tbe Dispatch, knows as well as any
other all the reasons why the Inde.
pendent or anti-Cameron Republicans
of the State are refusing to support him.
It knows the anti-Cameron, anti-Grant,
anti-third term, anti-unit rule feeling
left since 1880. Aud here may be
found the point of difference in views
between the CITIZEN aud Dispatch.
The editor of the Dispatch, Mr. Gor
don, was one of the two delegates from
this Congressional district to the
Chicago Convention, June 2, 1880.
His third-term, Grant, Cameron sym
pathies, and action, uro remembered.
Although representing a strong Blaine
county and district he managed, in
some way, to be one of the 306 for
Grant on tbe final vote that nominated
the lamented Garfield. We do not re
mind the Dispatch of this for the pur
pose ot stirring up old sores, but as a
fact which may explain why it is now
for a war of crimination end recrimina
tion in tbe Republican ranks of this
State, that can only end in disaster
this fall. There are many precedents
for the course suggested to Gen. Bea
ver. In 1876 Godlove S. Orth was
nominated bv the Republicans* of the
State of Indiana for Governor. He
was a g)od man personally. But after
bis nomination a flaw was found in his,
political life of such maguiture as to
justify tho Republicans of that State,
beaded by Senator Morton, to ask that
he withdraw from the field. .And he
did withdraw, and another was nomi
nated in time and elected. Other cases i
might be mentioned—some of them '
nearer home perhaps—in which, if the
candidates nominated had withdrawn, |
peace and harmony would have 1 een
brought about and success assured.
Without saying a word against Gen. '
Beaver, as we never have, yet bis own
true interest, as well as the interest of (
the Republican party, clearly point out' ,
the course for him to take in the pres- !
ent complicated state of affairs. He !
can cut the Qordian KmA and bring ! j
union and success. No other one can. <
And this is our reply to tbe article of (
our aeighbor of tbe Mercer Ditpalch. ] i
THE statements made by a corres
pondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
last Thursday, relative to political
affairs in this county, were greatly
exaggerated and in some respects
groundless gossip It is strange
this disposition to magnify in political
matters. For instance, the writer
slates there is a great mix on the
Legislative tickets. .All this comes
from the idle talk of a few buisy
bodies who suppose they know or
have heard things that never existed.
They infest and annoy every town
and political organization. Our Legis
lative ticket was regularly and fairly
nominated, uuder the long existing
rules of the party, and will be fully
supported at the fall election. Ihe
importance ot electing it, and of hav*
iug the next Legislature Republican'
will be seen at a glance when it is
stated that it will have the rc-districting
of the State to do, into Judicial,
Congressional, State Senate and As
sembly districts. No Republican can
theretore afford to trade or throw away
his vote on the Assembly ticket this
fall. To do so would be to incur a re
sponsibility that would be iohg re
membered and seriously affect the pros
pects of anyone seeking party favor in
the future.
POLITICAL.
THE Lawrence county Greenbackers
nominated a full county ticket on last
Saturday.
B*Efe iq Ohio, and whisky in In
diana, cause the Democrats of those
States considerable anxiety.
THERE is a probability of four State
tickets being put in the field in Nebraska
this year—Republican, Democrat,
Greenback and Prohibiten.
THE Republican campaign will bo
opened about September Ist by the
Regulars. The Independents will fol
low about a week later, commencing in
Philadelphia.
THE Press says: Keifer's official
home organ says that the usual vote
of thanks at the end of the last session
was withheld because it is "contrary
to all precedent" to offer one when the
Speaker's work is half done. Tfceib is
something in this and also in the fact
that Keifer is contrary to all precedent
himself-
THE Senaiofi»! coufpjence between
Senator Lee, of Franklin, and W. I)
Benedict, of Warren county, for the
Republican Senatorial nomination in
their District was appointed for Wed
nesday of last week, in Oil City.
Neither side expect a nomination to be
made. Senator Lee has {jroygn him
self every way worthy of a renomliia.
tion and"he is believed to be tbe choice
of his district. But if the Cameron in
fluewje can secure his defeat, they will
gladly welcome tbat result. It is
possible neither side wili yield J?P<!
is thought in that event Senator Leo
can be elected over both his competi
tors.
DOESSV might now be happy if Gar
field had taken hie advice and stopped
the "blather" about MeVengb and
James becoming members of the new
cabinet. These two members set on
foot a great deal of trouble for the ex
pediter of Western post routes. Dorsey
still has room to hope that justice will
be cheated and himself acquitted. The
close supporters of the administration
desire to see Brady convicted and
Dorsey set free. This is thought to
be the wish of the administration. It
will be some days before the cases are
left with the jury. The attorneys are
now making their arguments.
CIIAS. S. WOLFE has been elected
chairman of the Regular Republican
county committee iu bin own county—
Union. The committee met on Satur
day week last and organized. Twenty
nine out ol the thirty-four members
were present. Eight members dissat
isfied with the committee left the meet
ing. The remainder elected Wolfe
chairman and unanimously adopted
resolutions pledging their hearty sup
port to the Independent Republican
ticket. Taking tbe action of the com
mittee as an indication of public senti
ment, the majority of Republicans of
Union county endorse Wolfe and the
Stewart ticket.
WE print this week the letter of Mr.
Stewart to Mr. Beaver in which he pro
poses to publicly discuss with the lat
ter, the issues between the Republican
and Independent wings of the party.
It is reported that Stewart also intends
to send a similar communication to
I'attison, the ' Democrat candidate for
Governor. Mr. Beaver ebould take
up tbe gauntlet. A refusal to do so
would l>e"tray a want of confidence in
his case that would materially affect it.
The people desire to hear all sides of
these vexed questions and we see no
reason why General Beaver should
wish to shirk the contest. Let the
matter bo thoroughly ventilated in tbe
public forum and then let the people
judge wb« is right and who is wrong.
No sound Republican need fear to try
the strength of the bridge he stands
upon.— fiercer Republican.
DORSKY has taken a characteristic
way of strengthening himself in his
present distress. He has published a
letter, which be alleges be sent to
General Garfield prior to his inaugura
tion, in which be insults Garfield, aud
instructs him whom to consult in the
formation of his cabinet. Tbe only ob
ject Dorsey could have in giving pub
licity now to this impudent communi
cation must be to strengthen himself
with the Stalwarts and the administra
tion. Dorsey feels that if be can enlist
the Stalwart pardoning power he wil!
I»e safe whatever the result of his trial.
If Mr. Dorsey lived in I'ennsylvania
where the dominant Don reigns and
controls the pardon board his efforts
would probably be successful. Mr.
Dorsey is a man Mr. Cameron would
delight to befriend. Mr. Cameron has
a method of "expediting" affairs in this
State which doubtless inspired the
great star route "expediter." The now
desperate disciple of Conkling and
Cameron looks to his leaders and pre
ceptors to "expedite" the day of his I
deliverance from the hands of an out- ,
raged aud injured people. j

CIIAMBEU&BUBG, Aug. 10.—The
Public Opinion, an able and influen
tial Republican journal, has hoisted
the Stewart ticket and eutcrod on a
vigorous support of it and the princi
ples it represents. Public Opinion
has always been anti-Cameron in tone :
and was a strong supporter of the .
bolters in the Senatorial fight. But its
independence has until now been of
the reform-witbin-the party ?ort and it |
has waved the Beaver ticket since its 1
nomination, refusing, however, to place
Brosius on it for the reason that it did
uot recognize the legality of his nomin
ation. While the Beaver ticket stood
as expressing its nomiuc.l sentiment
the Opinio.i has given it no active sup
port whatever since Stewart's nomina
tion and has been filled from week to
week with denunciations of the evils of
Cameronisni and ardent appeals for
harmony by means of a new conven
tion.

patrol and a party of 500 Bedouins oc
curred this morning near Ramleh.
Five of the latter are killed. General
Sir Garnet Wolseley, with the authori

that he will be glad to receive ail ohiefj

held a conference to-day with Admiral
Seymour and all the other Generals.
Jfe subsequently visited the Khediye.
The correspondent qf tjio Paris I.aii

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 16.—The
draft of the Military Convention pro
posed by the Porte to EDgland is as
follows:
The Turkish Array undertakes the pacifica
tion of Egypt without foreign assistance, the
British to ',n tljeir present positions and
not to participate in the opfiKiltioi.*.' "l «c Turks
shall be allowed to nsc Alexandria as a basu of
operations, and the Turks and British both to
withdraw after the pacification of the country.
Lord Pufferin rejected the draft,
stipulating that the Turks should uot
undertake operations without the
preyious consent of British Ccr.}-
mander; that British oflicers should be
attached to the Turkish headquarters,
and that the question of evacuation
should be the subject of a special con
veutiolf js believed that tbere is
no probability of the Forty
the English conditions. The report
that the Ulemas had deposed the Sultan
is untrue. On the contrary, the Sultuu,
at the feast of Bairam, yesterday re
ceived several congratulatory telegrams
from Cairo aqcj pthcr parts of Egypt.
A few oflicers and soldiers bayp re
turned, on leave, from Suda Bay,
where 4,100 Turkish troops are as
sembled.
It is state! in Turkish circles that
the hesitation to issue the proclama
tion against Arabi Pacha i» owing to
the fact that a telegram was received
from him five days ago expressing his
readiness to submit to the authority ot
the Caliph, but stating that he could
uot leave his soldier? v/itjiout a head
until the arrival of the Turkish troops
in Egypt, when he would instantly
band over his command to the Turkish
General. The Military Convention is
ptill unsettled for the same reason. It
is believed that the Saltan wishes to
await the result of the paurparlet-8
with Arabi Pacha before he #ives bis
consent to a military convention with
England.

LEAR'S TALK ON POLITICS.!
SI KOX; I \DKPKXUEXT
i IU:UA\( t:.
At N'eslianiiny Falid on the Otb inst
l)efore one of the largest assemblages .
of people that ever came together in
Juekd county, Ex-Attorney General f
George Lear delivered a speech that
created a eensiition. It was a Literary
occasion. The Independent Literary j
Society, in the interest of the bi-cen- ,
tenniai celebration of the, settlement of i
the oountv, to be heid iD Dovlestown
oa the last two days of September and
the first day of October, got up a pre
liminary demonstration for the pur
pose of stirring up interest on the sub•
ject, iu which the most influential peo
ple of the county were interested-
General Lear was down on the pro
gram tne for the oration. The subject
that had been given him by the soci
ety to speak upon was "The Legal and
Political Maxims of William l'enn, as
Viewed in the Light of the Present."
Before the General had been on his
feet teji minutes people began to open
their eyes. The orator who spoke
from carefully written manuscript, did
not launch out into tue customary
impassioned rhetoric eulogistic of
Penn. lie admitted at the outset that
Penn had faults. That historic bar
gain with the Indians, whereby he got
possession of Pennsylvania, General
Lear thought would not bear the
closest eoruntiy of his atloiirers if they
desired to repose in the belief that he
was faultless. Edmund G Harrison,
member of the Stalwart Republican
State Committee, listened curiously to
the criticisms of Penn for a few
moments uid thon apd jocularly
asked a friend whethor General Lear
wasn't suffering from toothache. As the
speech progressed, howeyer, the view
of Penn began to change and General
Lear gave him credit for much wisdom
and judgment in the establishment of
government in his colon*-
STIUKINU VP TUB PARTY ELEMENT.
From a review of the condition of
Pennsylvania in Penn's time General
Lear proceeded to comparisons of the
past with the present, This brought
him scjtjaje tLe qf tb,o
political methods of to-day, resulting
in his making one the strongest Inde
pendent speeches the people of Bucks
county have listened to. for many a
day. Questions, he said, relating to
selection of rulers aud law makers
should bu discussed by the peopje
freely aud calmly as any subject per
taining to their business pursuits.
Hut for some inscrutable reason this at
present could not be done. "If I
were to announce here my intention
to de'iver a discourse on the relative
qualifications of the several candidates
now before the people for Governor,"
said the General, "this audience would
lie convulsed with horror, and with
hands uplifted and eyes dilated every
one of you would exclaim ; 'Why, he's
goinjj to *ajk poljtipg.' A sensation of
alarm if not panic would seise this
assembly aud you would disperse in
five miuutes." This point excited
much laughter. General Lear de
clared that this was not a natural
sjate of affairs. People should seek
after the truth iu politics as iu every
thing else, and punish their faithless
representatives in public life the same
as they would in private life. lie
spoke of the power of the political
'Machine for eyil. He said it was one
of the moat dangorous s}.ston,9 tbat the
people of the country had to deal
with. It would stifle all free speech
anil free thought. It would placate
dangerous opposition with petty ap
pointments or by money bribes. Free
q,u<' open discussion on matters per
taining to the rights oi every citizen
could not be had without branding
the participants as sore heads and
disaffectauts. Cries at this point were
heard among the Stalwarts: "Why,
gear's t"rned Independent."
STAPLE STUMP STORIES.
In political campaigns arguments in
favor of men or measures, a3 a rule,
were neither calculated to inform or
convince sensible men. Stale anec
dotes, had dou& d;.;ty through
dozens of campaigns, used by oratorsof
all political creeds to illustrate contra
dictory propositions, and the same
stories repeated to ridicule candidates
in every respect dissimilar, were the
staple cominoditiii3 with which politic
al teachers pretended to enlighten in
telligent voters whose suffrages they
seek to obtain.
"Public duties," said General Lear,
"are prostituted for personal and po
litical ends, and the local politician is
rewarded for his disobediance of the
public will and the betrayal of his
constituency. Designing men obtain
their first hold of political power,
and, once inside the threshold, they
proceed to entrench themselves as a
general does an army. By a discrim
inating use of patronage they secure
the most devoted fuglemen in every
department of the public service. Po
litical intrigue assumes the disguise of
statesmanship and official jobbery bodi
ly wears the livery of patriotism.
The chances for the success of an
outrage upon the people increase in the
ratio of its enormity. Editors of
■ party organs are bribed by political
appointments and subsidized by the
patronage of profligate officials, and woe
to the niiiu who presumes to assert his
manhood bv questioning the methods
or qualifications of their masters, ile
may expect the whole pack of subser
vient curs, 'Tray,' 'Blanche' and
'Sweetheart,' and the mongrels of
lower degree to open upon him with
the ribaldry and scurrility which are
their favorite weapons both for attack
and defense."
A UROAPSIDE AT THE STALWARTS.
The speaker's tirade against the
spoils system and the misuse of patron
age, the removal of officials
to reward others for political services,
hail a peculiar effect upon the Stal
warts present. One or two suggested
that he be stopped, as the occasion
was not political and, in their minds,
should not admit of political speech.
Mr. Harrison, of the Regular State
committee, was one who took the
speech good naturedly lie rather
seemed to enjov the vigor with which
General I/ear attacked the machine.
Some of his points provoked universal
laughter. He said, for instance, re- j
ferring to the machine leaders, that i
well-directed cunning these days in ;
politics was accepted as a fair equiva- ;
lent for ability and a modicum of
brains could fertilize an immense area
of intellectual sterility.
General Lear, in conclusion, said
that there was reason to hope that
taller days were dawning for the
State and country. "The jteople are
beginning to be aroused from tbe to por i
of a long sleep of confidence, which has
been rudely shaken, ajid they are now j
awakening to the necessity of having
responsible men who cau and should
give the right motion to the govern
ment. Trammels which bound them j
to the despotic rule of ruthless ta.-k- |
masters are falling from their limbs. I
and they arc asserting an independence
of thought and action wh'ch illustrates
tbe nobility of manhood which owns
j itself."— Times.

From Meroer Republican of Ang. 17.]
The West Peon A Sbenaago Con
nection is a proposed new line to run
from Coaltowu Junction on the S. & !
A. road, to Butler, a distance of twen- i
ty miles, there to connect with a branch
of the Pennsylvania Central, and
through it to intersect the main line of
the Penn Central at Blairsville, Indi
ana county. The object of the line is
to make a through line from tbe East,
aa this will give the Penn Centra! a
direct line across the country from its
main liue at Blairsville, for the ship
ment of freight west of Pittsburg, and
one that will make passenger travel
in this section and along the line of
the S. <fc A. very rapid to and from
3*ew York, and will thereby prove o(
great benefit to the business men of
these western counties. The survey
of the line is completed, and the man
agement, with Mr. J. T. Blair, of
Greenville, President, and Hon. John
>l. Thompson. o f sutlep, yice
dent, met in Ureeiiviile on Monday
for tbe purpose of letting the contract
for its building, which was awarded to
William Reed, of Erie. The contrac
tor is required to take the road from
the survey and prepare it for the roll
ing stocu. Worfc \yiil ue potyiuenoed
probably next week, aud it is the in
tention of the management if possible
to have it completed early iu the com
ing spring. Mr. Blair deserves great
credit for his energy and business tact
in pushing this branch to completion;
tj«us very'materially enhancing'liio in
terests of the S. & A. road, of which
he is superintendent. With the bus
iness thus brought to the S. & A. and
the invaluable coal mines being opened
in that section through which it runs
it is destined to become one of the
principal thoroggnhirea tor freight
shipments, while the passenger accom

24 miles in length, leaving the main

There will be no default on his part.
He has the means, the disposition, and

lliiutiiii£ihe Rascal Down.
The New Castle Guardian of last
week says: "On July f\ 1882,
with all the appearance of a farmer,
came to Ivirk Dicksoiv's hardware
establishment, this city, and purchased
a Xo. 1 Buckeye mowing machine.
In payment thereof he paid part in
cash, and for the remainder gave bis
qotc for $45. To this note wau at;
tached the name J. Johnson, and tbe
man who saiil that was his name,
gave his residence as Scott township,
and his Post Office address as llarlans
burg. When in tbe course of time the
notp fall due, a notice of the fuot sent
to "J. Johnson, Harlansburg," came
back endorsed: "Opeped by .John
Johnston, Butler county." The J.
Johnson who issued the note never at
tempted to lift it, and the most dili
gent .iearcb f&ilS to develop his
bouts. It has been developed that a man
who signed his name as John John
ston, iu handwriting very similar, if
not identical, with that on the note
given to Kirk Dickson, purchased a
stove from Bingham & Sons,
ville, Butler county, on November 15,
1878, on which he gave his note for
$27, and up to this time has failed to
pay it. Tbe stove in question is a
large drum or elevated oven stove.
There iu a aheaf of wheat cm one end
of the oven, and a plow on tbe other.
On the hearth-plate is the inscription:
"Bingham k, Sons, llarrisville, Pa."
From these facts it would seem that
there is a swindler at large, who should
be punished for bis crimes. Tbe ras.
cal is evidently using the names of
good men so that be can be success
ful in bis operations, for there are
several John Johnsons in this
neighborhood who are honest iu their
transactions. Among these are one on
the edge of Butler coucty.near Harlans
burg, and one near Kose Point, both
of whom are men of integrity. The
desire is to have the matter cleared iu>,
and to accomplish this Messrs. Kirk
<fc Dickson a.-k the nid of the farmers.
The lirui has a complete list of all the
Buckeye mowers they have sold, and
can readily tell the one they were
swindled out of. To this end they
invite correspondence from farmers
who might have any knowledge of the
missing machine, aud will hold the
same in the strictest confidence. If
any person should have bought the ma
