BUTLER CITIZEN
JOHN H. 4 W. C. NEGLEY, PROP'RS,
Entered at the Postoffice at Butler «s
second-classs matter.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1883.
DON'T fail to hear Prof. Slack in the
Court House to-morrow, Thursday
evening.
A CALL has been issued by the State
Chairman of the Prohibition party (or
a State Convention, to be held at Pitts
burgh, May 29 coming.
HON. S. H. MILLER has appointed
Mr. Frank Russell, of Mercer county,
to a cadetship in the Naval Academy
at Annapolis, for this Congressional
district.
THE primary election being fixed for
as early a date as June 2d, two weeks
from Saturday next, will compel the
candidates to stir about pretty lively,
in order to have a reasonable turn out
at the polls.
THE County Committee, at its meet"
ing last Saturday, approved of the res
olution it passed last June, requiring
the Chairman of the Committee to
furnish blanks for the holding of the
primaries. We are informed by the
Chairman, Mr. Stephenson, that he
will see this matter attended to, as well
as possible, for the coming primaries.
THE Eagle, of this place, through
Mr. Robinson, continues to forget the
old and sale adage that "he that lives
in a glass house should never throw
stones." The defeat of Mr. Braham
last fall for the Legislature, it is well
understood, was brou, ht about by his
machinations. Mr. B. was a clear,
fair and undisputed nominee ot the
party in this county. There was no
dispute about that; no two conven
tions, no two set of candidates, like
there were on the State ticket and
upon which Republicans might and
did differ. Then again (and we don't
like to stir up old sore places) there is
his never to be forgotten opposition to
the election of Qen. Grant in 1872, al
though fairly nominated for only his
second term for the Presidency, and
to which he was elected by an over
whelming vote over Mr. Greeley, the
Democratic nominee. In the language
of the boys we would just say here to
our neighbor, that he had better "dry
up."
In Full Bloom.
Blossoms are thick upon the apple,
peach, pear, cherry and plum trees, all
of which are now in fnll bloom, and
present a very hopeful appearance for
plenty of fruit this year. The trees
looking so fine, the general belief is
there will be fine fruit crops.
As to other crops, we hear no doubts
except as to the wheat. It, from all
reports, was frozen by the ice last winter
in some places, and to some extent.
The belief is, however, that there will
be at least a half crop of wheat.
COUNTY COMMITTEE MEET
ING.
Pursuant to notice the members of
the Republican County Committee for
this county assembled in the Court
House on Saturday last. A majority
of the Committee were present. The
Committee came to order at the request
of Mr. Walker, who, before doing any
further business, stated to the Com
mittee that in the interest oi harmony
he desired to resign his position as
Chairman of the Committee. Dr.
Rumberger then stated that he regard
ed himself but as a temporary Chair
man and claimed no further rights than
as such. Both gentlemen having thus
resigned on motion of C. M. Brown,
Esq., of Harrisville, James Stephenson,
of Summit twp., was unanimously
chosen Chairman of the Committcs
for the balance of the term. S. W.
McCollough, of Fairview twp., was on
motion chosen Secretary.
On motion, the time for holding the
primary election for this year was fix
fed for Saturday the 2d day of June,
commencing at 2 o'clock p. M.
On motion, the rules adopted by the
Republican State Conventions of last
year, in regard to the election of dele
gates to State Conventions, be approv
ed by this Committee.
On motion, the Senatorial delegate
for this year be conceded to Armstrong
county.
On motion, the Return Judges be
directed to meet at the Court House
on the Monday following the primaries
being Monday June 4, at one o'clock
p. M., to count up the votes and declare
the result.
The rule adopted last spring, requir
ing the Chairman of the County Com
mittee to have blanks for holding the
primary prepared and sent to the dif
ferent districts, was recognized and the
Chairman to perform that duty.
On motoin adjourned.
S. W. MCCOLLOUGH, Sec'y.
Call for Republican Primary
Election and County Con
vention.
In obedience to above the Republi
cans of Butler county are requested to
meet at the regular place of holding the
elections in each borough and town
ship on the first Saturday, (2d) of
June, to select oue candidate for Dis
trict Attorney and one candidate for

to the State Convention ; also one per
son for return judge from each voting
precinct, the same to meet at the
Court House the following Monday

PROHIBITORY BILL IN THE
SENATE.—A STARTLING
TEMPERANCE
TREAT.
Arthur Accused of Lugging Cus
tom House Etiquette Into His
Mansion and Breaking
the Idols set up
by Hayes.
Special Telegram to the Dispatch.]
HARRISBURG, May 10.—-Notwith
standing the death and burial of the
Prohibition bill with the compensation
rider in the House, the similar measure
introduced by Senator McKnight, to
which no rider is attached, passed
second reading in the Senate to-day.
All the time spent upon it after its de
feat iu the House cannot accomplish
anything this session except putting
the Senators on record. Three hours
were devoted to the bill to-day, nearly
all that time being consumed by a
speech from Senator Nelson, the mild
mannered, old styled gentleman from
Wayne, who is a local Methodist
preacher and sometimes takes the
chaplain's place in opening the Senate
with prayer. His attack upon Presi
dent Arthur and the present social
customs in the White House seemed
entertaining to a majority of the Sena
tors, even to such Stalwarts as Cooper,
Handy Smith and Reyburn. Every
body *rse awake during that part of
the three-hour exhortation ; but when
the sensation was over even the vigi
lant constitutional oracle, Laird, went
to sleep at his desk for the first time on
record.
SHOOTING AT BIG GAME.
As Nelson is not one of those who
have been running a race to see which
could get the most eloquence into the
Legislative Record, nobody seemed
disposed to object to his prolonged
effort to-day. Some of his fellow Dem
ocrats and Field Marshal Cooper at
times drew close to the speaker, as if
to encourage him. When he said that
he desired to call attention to what was
going on among men in the highest
positions in the gift of the people, all
( ears were pricked up. "As long," he
said, "as the accidental, not Providen
tial, President of the United States
spreads his costly liquors before his
guests at State dinners, with six wine
glasses to every cover, I have no
apology to make for advocating Con
stitutional reform. Under the admin
istrations of Messrs. Hayes and Garfield
reform began at headquarters. The
bottles and jugs were dumped into, the
Potomac; the National mansion was
scrubbed from cellar to garret and dedi
cated to sobriety, virtue, purity and
prayer. How changed the situation
to-day. It is enough to make every
patriotic citizen blush and hide his face
for shame.
PRETTY HARD ON ARTHUR.
"Arthur in the New York Custom
House is Arthur in the White House.
The Ethiopean cannot change his skin,
nor the leopard his spots. Driven out
of the New York Custom House by
Hayes, as the Master drove the Scribes
and Pharisees out of the temple with a
scourge, made Vice President by the
votes of the people, and, in less than
six months after the inauguration,
President by a crank, taking the oath
of office in his own parlor in New York
city in such indecent haste at 1 o'clock
iu the morning, so soon after the death
of President Garfield at Long Branch,
and then carrying into the temple of
virtue and purity his nasty, filthy New
York Custom House and pot-house
practices of card-playing, treating,
drinking, Sabbath breaking and Sun
day fishing excursions 1 He gave all
the public evils national sanction and
notoriety."
Stalwart Davies could bear this no
longer, lie interrupted Nslson by
asking if tho latter voted for Garfield.
Nelson replied that he bad not. He
voted for Hancock.
"And do you think there would have
been any difference between Hancock
and Arthur ?" asked Davies triumph
antly.
"Aha," chuckled Cooper, looking at
Nelson, "you'd better get away from
that ground or you will be defeated."
Nelson got around Davies' point by
remarking that Hancock was not Pres
ident. "Two years more of national
humiliation and disgrace to come," he
lamented. After quoting from a new s
paper the account of the White House
frolic carried on by the President's son
while Arthur, as Nelson said, "was in
Florida fighting fleas, shooting alli
gators and catching catfish, with
Chandler to bait his hook," he thanked
heaven "that no woman shares with
the President the responsibility of this
retrograde movement," and for the
credit of the nation and the sex he
hoped that none ever would.
As Nelson described "The shameful
exhibition of drunkenness" by the
statesmen who went to Garfield's
funeral, tears moistened his cheeks and
bis voice was broken by efforts to re
press emotion. When he began to
speak of the Yorktown spree, Cooper
mischievously suggested that Nelson
withhold his remarks on the subject on
account of the temporary absence of
Handy Smith, who was one of the com
mittee to arrange for Pennsylvania
representatives at Yorktown. Just
then the jovial Smith entered, and after
listening to Nelson's itemization of the
Yorktown rum bill, he said, with a
sigh, that he never bad the good
fortune to be commissary on an occa
sion so great as that.
"Suppose I come a little near home,"
said Nelson
"Yes, tell us about the legislators'
Virginia experience last week," sug
gested Evans, of Northampton, one of
the many members who had come over
from the House to hear the speech.
A WEEKLY JAMBOREE.
Nelson had not been on the Virginia
trip and would not speak of it, but he
said he was informed that there used
to be a "jamboree" every week on the
trains carrying the legislators home
from Harrisburg—sprees just like the
one that recently brought fatal disaster
upon the New York legislators' train.
"I guess it was the Wayne and Pika
men whom your informant saw," said
Cooper.
Nelson drew an analogy between
mere moral suasion and "a tariff for
revenue only." "We don't tako any
stock in a tariff for revenue only," he
said.
"Aw! aw! aw!" mockingly ex
claimed half a dozen Republicans.
When Nelson handed in petitions
signed by an army of women for the
; passing of the bill, he assured the
j Senate that the signatures were genuine.
Laird asked him how he knew that ?
"O, I know the gentleman from
Westmoreland don't take any stock in
the ladies," was Nelson's retort to th®
bachelor statesman.
Nobody but Nelson spoke for or
against the bill. The vote by which
it passed second reading stood 21 to
19, as follows:
YEAS —Agnew, Aull, Boggs, Davie?,
Emery, Greer, Harlan, Heri, Hughes,
Lee, McCracken, MacFarlane, Mc-
Knight, Smiley, Stewart and Watres,
Republicans—lo. Coxe, Laird, Nel
son, Wagner and Wallace, Democrats
—5. Total 21.
NAYS —Adams, Arnholt, Grady,
Keefer, Mjlin, Smith, Stehman and
Upperman, Republicans— 8. Biddis,
Hart, Ilenniuger, Hess, Kennedy,
King, Patton, Ross, Shearer, Sutton
and Vandegrift, Democrats—ll. Total,
19.
Cooper left before the vote to catch
a train. Reyburn and Sill also went
out before the vote. Gordon, Hall and
Longenecker, McNeill, Lantz and
Wolverton were not at the session
Humes, who said that he would have
voted for the bill, was paired with Lantz.
Nelson moved to fix a special order
for the third reading of the bill next
Wednesday. Davies, although in
favor of the bill, said that there was no
use wasting time over it. Stewart
replied that the Senate was in duty
bound to act upon it, regardless of the
action of the House. The arrival of
the adjournment hour prevented action
on Nelson's motion.
SOME of the neighboring counties are
taking steps to better the mode of nom
inating district candidates, Congress
and Senate candidates, where more than
one county is in a district. This is an
important matter and should receive
the attention of County Committees.
The present conferee system leads to
deadlocks and sometimes to bargain
and sale. A better mode should take
its place.
The Committee Meeting.
The proceedings of the County
Committee will be seen in another
place. It gives us pleasure to state
that entire harmony prevailed. It will
be seen the new rules for the Republi
can party in this State were approved
and adopted by the committee for this
county. The principal one of these
rules is that relative to the selection of
delegates to State Conventions. These
have now to be voted for by the people
at the primaries. We presume names
will be announced the same as for other
nominations. But if none should be
so announced it will be because little is
at stake this year. The members of
the party, however, who assemble on
June 2d should not fail to have upon
their tickets when voting the names of
two trustworthy Republicans to repre
sent the county in the State Conven*
tion of this year. The new machinery
will thus be put in motion. Next year
a candidate for President has to be
chosen, and nearly all the county
offices are to be filled. It was, there
fore. important to start out right this
year, and it was in this view the County
Committee considered the matter.
Bills Sent. —Notice.
We have recently been compelled to
send bills to some who are back in
their subscription accounts for several
years. We request payment, at least
in part, during this month and before
the first of June. This we do because
we will need the amounts by that
time, and what we desire to say now
is, that we will expect these bills sent
to receive some attention. Some are
in arrears for six, seven and eight
years. Liquidating a part now cer
tainly is a duty. Calling or sending
within this month will be duly appre
ciated.
