BUTLER CITIZEN* JOHN H L W. C. NEGLEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler as second-elasss matter. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14, 1883. ~~ To Subscribers in Arrear. As a large portiou of the readers of the CITIZEN are farmers, and as many of them may not be taking an agricul tural paper, we make the following proposition: To all in arrears on their subscription accounts and who pay up the same between this and the first of January coming, 18S4, we will cause to be sent to them FREE the American Farmer, a large 1(5 page monthly agri cultural magazine, the subscription price from the publishers of which is $1 per year. . The American Farmer is one ot the best agricultural publications. It is devoted exclusively to the farming, stock raising, gardening and household interests. Earh number will contain useful information for the farmer, his wife, bis sons and his daughters. We extend the same offer to all sub scribers who, being paid up, shall pay a rear's subscription in advance. All have, therefore, an opportunity to get FK.LE a good agricultural paper. These offers should be accepted not later than in December. • PUBLISHERS OF CITIZEN. Butler, Nov. 7, 1883. A UNITED party, and the dread of the Democrats next year, did much towards bringing out the Republicans this year to the election. THE Republicans of Butler county gave a larger majority this year than did our neighbors of Armstrong, Mer cer, Crawford or Venango counties. THE "Long Parliament" is still in session at Harrisburg—and no signs of apportionment bills being passed. The occasion would seem to require some Cromwell to arise. TIIE "Ohio boom" don't appear to have helped the Democrats in Penn sylvania any. You no longer hear them inquiring about the Ohio election. Ohio will be Republican next year. To S. B Snyder, candidate for Dis trict Attorney, much of the credit must be given for the good turnout of the Republicans to the election last week. His efforts in that direction were untir ing- BECAUSE of a special desire, express ed by many, to learn more of the life history of Martin Luther, this will be the subject of the discourse of Rev. Cronenwett in St. Mark's Lutheran Church, of this place, on next Sunday eveuing. t A RATHER unusual thing happened in the vote of Oakland township, this county, at last week's election. Every candidate, of the eight voted for, had exactly the same number of votes, 64 each to both parties, all through—see the table of votes. THE difference in the Repulican vote of this county between Livsey and Niles—only 22—is explained by the fact, so far as we have learned, that a few laboriog men, principally in one township, believed the statements in a certain document circulated previous to the election, [reprasenting that Mr. Niles in the Legislature had voted against bills favoring laboring men. There was 110 truth in the said state ments and we pre glad to know they did but so little harm. In Memory of Luther. The anniversary of the birth of Luther, the 400 th, has been celebrated in this country and in Europe as ne7er before. In Protestant churches last Sunday the Great Reformer and his great work were the theme of discourse and praise. All lines of sect in fact ap pear to be forgotten in honoring his memory. We notice, for instance, in the Pittsburgh Post, a paper edited by a gentleman of the Catholic faith, an editorial and other at tides speaking well of Martin Luther. This indicates the great change passing on in the world in the matter of the rights of conscience and of private judgment in religion, the doctrines of which Luther was the great hero. In this place sermons were delivered in most of the churches last Sunday on Luther aud the Reformation. The German Lutheran Church, inside, was decorated with festoons, mottos and emblems, making it very attractive and interesting in appearance. Butler County Official Totals. The following is the aggregate vote for the different candidates in this coun ty at the election last week. A table f the vote in detail will be seen in another place. STATE TREASURER. Wm. Livsey, llep 3,362 Joseph Powell, Deal 3,027 Ira E. Howard, Pro 142 Andrew T. Marsh, Labor, etc 58 Livsey's majority over Powell 335. STATE AUDITOR. Jerome B.

The largest vote ever polled in But ler countv was at the Presidential elec tion of 1876, when 10,473 votes were Cist; the next highest in 1878, when 10,0* in were cast on Governor; the next in 1880, when 0.947 were cast for the Garfield and Hancock electors; last year, 1882, there were 7,567 votes cast for Governor, and this year, 6,587 on State Treasurer, being within 1,000 of what may now be considered the full rote of the county. THE ELECTIONS. FAVORABLE TO RE PUBLICANS. Peniifty I van ia, Massachusetts, MlniUMOla, Nebraska, Kansas and Connect!* cut all Clearly Re publican. New York Divided, But all Looks Favorable With Herfor 1884. In Pennsylvania the average majori ty for the Republican candidates, Niles and Livscy, is 18,281, Livsey having 19,83G, and Niles 16,720 of a majority. In Massachusetts the Republicans have beaten the notorious Ben. Butler for Governor by about 10,000. In New York, Carr, the Republican candidate for Secretary of the State, is elected by about IG,OOO, while the balance of the State ticket is Democrat ic by about the same majority. There was no Governor to elect. Last year it will be remembered the Democratic majority for Governor was near 200,- 000. This is a great change and dem onstrates that New York is fairly de batable ground for 1884. On her vote next year it is more than probable the next Presidency depends. With an acceptable Republican candidate we be lieye New York will adhere to the Re publican flag. The Legislature elected this year is Republican, which secures a Republican United States Senator. In Minnesota the Republicans elect their Governor by about 15,000. Min nesota is a safe Republican State for 1884. In Nebraska the Republican candi dates on the State ticket are elected by about 10,000. A Supreme Judge was the highest office to be filled. Nebraska is safely Republican. In Kansas there were only county officers and Judges to elect and, so far as we have any returns, all is favorable as usual to the Republicans. Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and Mississippi have gone Democratic. New Jersey is the only Northern State electing a Democratic Governor, by a majority of some 6,000. Her Legisla ture is also Democratic. In Virginia a Legislature was to be elected and there was a severe contest and more bad blood than any where else. The chief question was a local one, growing out of her State debt. The "Readjust ee," of the State debt, were led by Mahone, Republican, a man of wonder ful energy and will purpose, but not having the full sympathy or approval of all Republicans in his purposes and ways. His doctrine as to the State debt is declared by many to be partly repudiation, in effect, of the debt, and on this issue he is beaten. He had the sympathy of the colored voters gener ally with him. This created a kind of race distinction and race contest at the election. Some colored men had been killed in a riot previous to the election and were thus intimidated, and refused to turn out and vote. The State of affairs in Virginia looks as if something more will have to be done to protect and secure the colored people of the South in the free exercise of the right of suffrage. Next year this may be important, to save from bloodshed, and the Government may have to see to it that they are protected. Our State—The Lesson Learned. Pennsylvania this year has gone Republican by near 20,000 majority. But she is no more Republican now than she was last year. She was Re publican then, as the united vote show ed. But she was then divided. This arose from an effort in the party to throw off a most odious central tyranny that assumed to dictate all nomina tions. Most of the State ticket first put in nomination last year had been Blated and set up for more than half a year in advance of the State Conven tion. Many of the delegates in the convention nominating them had been chosen by County Committees without any expression from the people. This led to new rules being obtained for the better government of the party. These rules, among other things, provided that undelegates to future State con ventions should be chosen by the peo ple of the party themselves. Under these rules they, were so chosen this year. The result was the selection of a State ticket satisfactory to all and composed of good men. Niles and Livsey were good candidates and are good men. Neither of them sought the nomination; or if they did no boss or ring influence obtained it for them The lesson then learned is that the people ruled, and will have their way in the future. And all that is neces sarv is to continue in the practice of the new rules, to the end that all the con ventions of the party may give the direct and clear expression of the wish es of the party. W. C. T. U. Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of lowa, the distinguished lawyer and lecturer, and author of the lowa Constitutional Amendment, has accepted an invitation from the Wonmns' Christian Temper ance Union of Butler, to give a lecture to the people in the Court House before the close of November. We hope to give the precise date of the lecture in our next week's paper. In the meantime let our people bear it in mind, and be prepared to enjoy the rare treat provided for them. Admis sion free.

Searight is beaten forjudge in the Fayette and Greene county district lie was nominated by tho Democrats of Fayette county and his opponent was James Ingbram, nominated by the Democrats of Greene, who being a good and fit man, was supported by the Re publicans of both counties. The dis trict is strongly Democratic and this way was deemed most advisable by the Republicans in order to prevent the election of Searight, who was kuown to be unfit for the position, besides having reudered himself ob noxious to all Republicans and many Democrats through his action favor ing Dukes, in the celebrated Dukes- Xuttcase. The result is he is beaten 639 in his own strong Democratic county of Fayette, and 4,7 14 in Greene county, making the majority in the district against him 5,383. To all outside in the State this re sult is received with great satisfac tion, as it again indicates that the people generally are not disposed to let the standard of the Judicial office be lowered, merely to suit the purposes of politicians ,or designing party trick sters. Lutheran Jubilee. It is proposed to hold a joint Luther Jubilee Service in the St. Mark's Lutheran Church of this place on Thanksgiving Day. Prominent min isters from abroad", both English and German, will be present and deliver addresses. Lutheran pastors and con gregations in different parts of the county will be invited to participate.
