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.

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 Silenced.
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.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.
In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, a large proportion of metal i 3
needed only to stitlen and held the pngravr
C<i portions in place, and supply strength,
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
James Jjos3* Patc.it Gold Tl'a/cA Cases this
WASTE is saved, and SOLIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by a simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hur.l nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc., are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
the only case made under this process. Each
case is accompanied icith a valid guarantee
signal ly tie manufacturers warranting it to
wear 20 years. 150,000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.
Established 1851. Ask your Jeweler.
