Congress in the adjoining district of
Armstrong, Indiana, etc., by Fatton,
fusion candidate, by 908 votes.
GKORGE V. LAWRENCE, Rep., ia
elected to Congress in the Washing
ton, Beaver and Lawrence district, by
TIT plurality over McConaghy, Dem.,
of Lawrence county.
EX-SECRET ABY BLAINE says he does
not see, in the recent Republican re
verses, anything to cause fear respect
ing the fntnre of the party. Like
other defeats of the past, be thinks it
c*n be made to result in good to the
pwty. He believes the Republicans
can have success in 1884 by present
ing a candidate for the Presidency
upon whom all can unite.
Pattisok, the Governor elect, made
a true and timely remark to some of
his friends when he advised them that
his was not a Democratic victory ;
that it was the people rising irrespec
tive of party to free themselves of a
certain boss power, and that be did not
claim the victory as a party one and in
no sense did be regard it as a purely
Democratic triumph.
THE Democrats, having a majority
in the next House at Harrisburg. are
already discussing the question of its
Speakership. Among the names men
tioned we notice that of Capt. Ziegler,
elected in this county. If they want
the best qualified member on their
side it seems to ns they should take
"Uncle Jake." He has bad experience
in that line which peculiarly qualify
him for Speaker. He is conversant
with the roles of legislation, as
"Ziegler's Manual," long a standing
authority, attests. He has been a
member before, having been elected
from this county as long ago as 1847,
and has been Clerk of the House,
which necessarilly familiarized him
folly with all its roles. Besides,
his age now would make it very ap
propriate for bis party friends to make
him Speaker.
WE must give our neighbors of the
Rumberger "Head Quarters" doecred.it
for the speedy, qoiet and orderly man
ner in which they "closed op shop."
On the morning after the election "all
tbroogh iho house not a living creature
was stirring, not even a mouse." On
the night before, as they departed, "not
a drum was heard nor a funeral note"
as sadly and slowly they wended their
way homewards One exception we
should perhaps mention, as still seen
at his post in the morning. That
was the pleasant countenance of our
young friend Peffer, who had been in
general charge of the "Head Quarters,"
and who had done the heavy work of
the concern. To him, therefore, was
entrusted the responsible duty of
cleaning out and closing up the busi
ness, which he done hastily and well.
WO have no statement of the financial
winding up of the enterprise, but it is
strongly suspected to l.a-o been a
profitable investment t > nune of its
members.
Now that the election is over let the
result be accepted and gjod feeling
be restored to the Republican ranks of
Pennsylvania. That it will bo iill the
better for the party in the State we have
not a shadow of doubt. The mean
ing of the uprising was simply a pro
test against the bisa and micbine
rule in this State. This rule has now
been broken and scattered and the way
cleared for nnited action in the great
contest comiug of 1884. The Repub
lican party is an intelligent and free
one, and every member, while entitled
to bis own views, should b J tolerant
to the views of others *bo may differ
with bim. The protest of the party
in the great State of New York
against Conkling and the Administra
tion of Artbar is even greater than that
in Pennsylvania against their coadjutor
Cameron, and the results have taught
their lessons and will be productive of
great good to the party in both
States.

Hoaglaod in the district foot up 15315,
wbicb is 1219 votes in excess of the
Republican vote on Congress in the
whole district
Hereafter.
Hereafter the Republican nomina
tions for the State of Penn
sylvania will be made inside the State
and not ii Washington City.
Hereafter tbev will be made by the
people of the different couuties of the
State and not by any bosses at Har
risburg.
Hereafter they will not be made by
packed Conventions of delegates sent
by packed Committees.
Hereafter, as a consequence of all
these, there will be no more "slated''
State tickets; no more proscription of
Republicans and no more trouble. The
reason for all these reforms being,
that Cameron is now overthrown and
the Republican party of Pennsylva
nia redeemed, disenthralled and regen
«rated.

LARGE REPUBLICAN LQSSES IN MICHI
GAN, INDIANA, WISCONSIN,
IOWA, KANSAS AND
OTHER STATES.
The official count has not as yet been
made of the election last week in this
State, but enough to know that Patti
son, Dem., is elected Governor over
Beaver. His majority is given at pres
ent at 39,624.
Stewart's vote, it is estimated, will
reach about 50,000 —47,876 being the
number given by unofficial returns.
The Republicans have also lost four
Congressman, but will still have a ma
jority of the delegation in the next
Congress.
They have also lost the lower House
of the State Legislature. Three of the
four members elected in Crawtord
county are Democrats; two of the three
elected in Mercer county ; two of the
three in Venango county; the two
elected in Beaver county ; and one in
Jefferson ; one in Washington, and
one here, in Butler county ; making in
all twelve of a loss in the Legislature
from the Western counties alone of the
State. The Republicans retain the
Senate, but the House of the Legisla
ture will undoubtedly be Democratic.
In the States of Indiana, Michigan >
Wisconsin, lowa, Kansas and others
where elections were held last week,
the Republicans have had losses on
Congress and other offices, the exact
extent of which cannot as yet be
given.
The Next legislature,
The next Legislature will stand as
follows:
House, Democrat, 112 House, Republican, 89
Senate, " 21 Senate, " 29
Toial 133 Total 118
Thus giving the Democrats a majority
of 15 on joint ballot. In the last Leg
islature the Republicans had a majori
ty of 57 on joint ballot. The election
of Mr. McNiell, Republican, from the
Allegheny City Senate district, is
being contested, which may add one
more to the Democratic side of the
Semate. That branch, however, is
certainly Republican by at least six of
a majority, which will prevent any un
fair legislation of a party nature.
ANNCinbly.
By the official table it will bo seen
that Mr. Ziegler, Democrat, and Mr.
Donly, Republican, are elected to the
Assembly from this county, - Mr. Zieg
ler being the highest in vote and lead
ing Mr. Donly 70, and Mr. D>uly
next highest, leading Kx-Sheriff Hoff
man, Dem., 162.
The loss of Mr. Brahatn to the Re
publicans, is regretted by all who
know the faithful and intelligent mem
ber he made. ,He was a credit to the
county and stood well with his fellow
members. But from the time be was
nominated,and for some time after, at
tacks were made upon him by the
Eagle of this place, which started a
hue and cry against him that has
caused his loss to the party. No
charge was made against him except,
he had supported Grow for U. S.
Senator, in obedience to the sentiment
of bis people, and refused to change
and support Cameron's "me too,"
Oliver. For this enough votes to
cause bis defeat were withheld him.
If those doing it can stand it, we sup
pose Mr. Braham can. Mr. Donly,
who has been elected, we believe
would have done just as Mr. Braham
did, bad he been there at that time,
and those who think Mr. Donly is a
Stalwart or "Cameron man," we think
will find themselves much mistaken if
an occasion arises.
Still n Majority.
Thousands of Republicans in Penn
sylvania staid at home on election da} 7 .
Thousands more voted for Pattison.
Yet, in spite of this Republican dis
affection, the combined vote for Bea
ver and Stewart exceeds the vote cast
for the Democratic candidate
The Republicans sire thus a clear
majority of the people now, as they
have been in the past, and the ques.
tion of future success is pimply one of
bringing the two Republican divisions
together. With common sense and
ommca patriotism on both sides there
is no difficulty in accomplishing this
reunion. The causes of the division
are patent to every intelligent man.
The usurpation of all authority in the
hands of it central junta, and the pros
titution of all the power of the party
to the selfish purposes of the bosses
have produced the revolt. Remove
the grounds of complaint, and there
will be no differences. Stop packed
Conventions and slated tickets and
personal proscription, and there will
be no trouble. Make a free party, let
the Conventions be truly representa
tive, let the action of the party fairly
reflect the will of its intelligent mass
es, let the organization tod the plat
form be broad enough for all Republi-

cans—do this and the Republican
party will be invincible.
There are false leaders who are in the
way and who must be unloaded. Ibe
people are taking care of that. But
the masses in both the Regular and
the Independent camps are true Re
publicans who seek only the best in
terests of the party and the govern
ment; they want only rea?on and fair
play; and with this spirit ruling thej
will come together under one triumph
ant flag.— Press-
Its Effect.
There were some friends who were
disposed to think the protest made in
Pennsylvania this year against Cam
ron's longer rule was ill advised at the
present time. But since they
have seen the magnitude of the
elections last week, all over the
country, we are glad to know that they
have modified their opinions. The
New York State election, where the
Republican candidate for Governor,
Folger, was forced upon the party by
Conkling and President Arthur, is
perhaps the best and most significant
index to the feelings of the people-
His defeat, by almost two hundred
thousand votes, plainly tells Arthur,
Conkling, Cameron and Grant, what
the Republicans of New York think
of their administration of the Govern
ment since the murder of President
Garfield. In Pennsylvania it was
likewise simply a resolve ofl the part
of the Republicans to shake off Came
ron aud his boss-machine methods.
And now that it is done we look for
the party to become united and har
monious. We have no doubt of it all
being done for the best, and paving
the way for victory in 1884, when an
other President must be elected. For
it is settled now that the Republicans
of Pennsylvania are to rule themselves
hereafter. Next year the only State
officer to be elected, we believe, is that
of State Treasurer, and we predict
that his nomination and election will
be made by a union of all elements in
the party. The people will elect their
delegates to the next State Conven
tion under the new rules of the party.
Committees or parts of committees
will no longer do that, and consequent
ly it will not be done in the interest of
candidates "slated" in advance by
ring bosses at Harrisburg, now happily
and completely overthrown. There
fore the result of the late election can
not but be betit-fieial to the Republicans
of our State. The man elected Govern
or, Pattison, has a good record for
honesty in office In fact it was this
good record that led to his nomination
and partly to his election. Twice he
was elected to the office in Philadel
phia that has charge of its financial
welfare and correct government, and
on both occasions he was elected by
receiving a very large Republican
vote, although a Democrat. If he, as
Governor of this great State, displays
the same honesty and reform princi
ples that he practiced as Controller of
I'hiladelphia, it will result largely to
the benefit of the tax paying people of
this Commonwealth.
Tlie Future Seeure.
Let no Republican be downcast; the
Republican party will emerge redeem
ed and triumphant from its present ap
parent disaster. There is not a Re
publican less or a Democrat more to
day thau in 1880. In Pennsylvania
the annual Republican vote cast,
though divided, outnumbers the Dem*
ocratic Even in New York with its
unprecedented and overwhelming
Democratic avalanche the Democratic
vote is not increased. The Republi
cans spoke their crushing rebuke sim
ply by staying at home. Ko every
where.
In pronouncing this terrific condem
-1 nation upjn the false leaders who
have abused their accidental power,
the Republicans have had no purpose
of permitting tbe government to pass
into Democratic hands. They distrust
that party as profoundly as ever.
Tbey haye struck their blow, not to
strengthen the Democracy, but to cut
the cancer out of their own party and
quicken it with new life and vigor.
They have chosen the mid-way hour
of 1882 in order to make secure of
1884. Relieved of the burdens which
haye weighed down the party, spring
ing under new and inspiring leader
ship, and rising to the full demands of
the future, the great Republican or
ganization will gain fresh vitality
from its regeneration.
The very sweep and magnitude of
the reverse make the recovery more
sure, because they prove that it is the
work of Republicans. It is in no
sense a partisan triumph. But little
more than a year ago the Republican
party held a position of strength and
security which had never been sur
passed in its whole history. It had a
leadership which it fully trusted; it
hud a President whose broad states,
manship and elevated views inspired
its confidence; it had a policy and a
purpose which were worthy of its
great career. Within a year it has
witnessed a most humiliating change,
and the men who have trampled upon
the legacy left to them, who have
wantonly defied the declared will of
the Republican masses, and who have
undertaken by odious methods to en
throne a faction above the party, can
now look upon the disaster they have
ur >ught, and see the wreck of theiT (
own schemes.
While they go down, the party, re
deemed from their mismanagement
will recover its position. It will dis
miss those who have plunged it into
the present catastrophe; it will bring
forward a tried and capable leadership;
it will put itself upon the highest plat
form of principle; it will address itself
to the judgment and conscience
of the country; it will by a broad and
generous spirit win the uuited support
of Republicans of all shades; and it
will thus pluck victory out of danger.

What it all Means.
The significance of the popular re

A Card.
EDITORS CITIZEN :—I desire through
the columns of your paper to correct
some infamous falsehoods put in circu
lation by "Old Tonnage Tax" Tom
Robinson of the Butler Eagle, in a
few remarks which I made in the Court
House recently, I related my ex
perience as a member of the County
Committee, which was convened in
Butler in February last, for the purpose
of electing delegates to the State Con
vention of May 10, 1882, Mr. Thomas
Robinson had a young man by the
name of Moore I believe, to offer a res
olution evidently prepared by Mr. Rob
inson, which read thus: "Resolved,
that our delegates be instructed to vote
for John M. Greer, of Butler, for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs, and Major
A. M. Brown, of Pittsburgh, forjudge
of Supreme Court.'' I said to Mr. M.
C. Benedict, of Petrolia, I think I see
a little scheme in that resolution for a
bargain and sale. Why did tbey not
include the name of General Beaver?
Simply that they should f,o to Harris
burg and say to some other delegations
who might be instructed for Beaver,
we will support your man, providing
you support our man, John M. Greer.
I said to Mr. Benedict, had we not bet
ter checkmate this little scheme or move
of the old foxy henchman Robinson: he
answered, most assuredly, and said he,
I will second the motion. I then arose
and moved that the delegates also be
instructed to vote for Beaver for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, not that I had
the least intention of voting for him,
but simply to checkmate this low
scheme.
These are tbe facts as I defined them
in the Court House recently. But Mr.
Robinson, through the columns of his
miserable Stalwart sheet, the Butler
Eagle, and Mr.John M. Thompson in a
small harrangue he made in the Zelie
nople school house, have misrepresent
ed me. They tried to leave the im
pression that 1 had placed myself in a
very unenviable position.
I will just state, however, that I am
entirely satisfied with my position, and
further, I would not exchange my rep
utation for honor and integrity (or
either Mr Robinson's or Mr. John M
Thompson's lam sorry I was absent
from home on the night Mr. Thompe n
exploded himf-eF, as wo certainly would
h:*e had some little amusement had I
been there Mr. Thompson may not
have willingly misrepresented me, as I
understand he was not present during
my remarks. But the other gentle
man, Robinson, was present and has
wilfully falsified. But this is charac
teristic of the poor fellow, and we will
have to overlook his failing. The elec
tion is over, however, and Don and his
clique are snowed under. The people,
who are sovereign, have spoken ja
tones of thunder and expressed their
dissatisfaction with Stalwartism from
Arthur down to Robiuton. The peo
ple of New York have repudiated Ar
thur, Conkling and Folger, with their
system of corrupt patronage. The
people of Pennsylvania have ostracized
Cameron, Quay and their satellites,
and have said, in a voice which cannot
be misunderstood, away with you and
your system of misrule. We have j
submitted long enough to your yoke of
bondage. Henceforth we propose to
see to it, that honorable and capable
men shall be elevated to high positions
of trust. Truly, the cause for which
(iarfield died, has not perished, nor
shall it perish whils't time lasts. He
sought to give us an honest and pure
administration, and (or this he was
slain. The people, irrespective of party
creeds, have sustained Garfield, one of
America's noblest sons. Truly, "God
reigns and the government at Wash
ington still lives."
