BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. lIW. C. NEGLEV, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postoffice at Butler is second-clcsss matter. WEDNESDAY, MEETING OF THE REPUBLI CAN COUNTY COMMITTEE. The members of the Republican County Committee are hereby request ed to meet in Butler on Tuesday, March 4, ISB4, at 1 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of fixing the dates for holding the primary elections required to be h,eld in the county this year, and for the transaction of such other busi ness as may properly come before the Committee. By order JAMES BABR, Chairman Co. Com. Butler, Feb. 5, 'B4. WE regret to be unable to insert this week the proceedings of the Worn* ana' Christian Temperance Union, at the meeting held last week. They came to our office ho late on Monday evening as to prevent their appearance this week. They will appear in our next issue. WK do not know the amount of truth there is in the report that certain Re publicans bad a private meeting in this place, on Monday night of last week, and slated a county ticket to be voted for at the primary election. But if true the Republican voters of this county are to be congratulated that such workers have shown their hand so soon. Such things have been done heretofore, but they will be very dam aging to all persons or candidates en gaged in them at present. CARE should be taken in mailing mat ter. The law does not allow printed and written matter to be sent in the same package. If you send printed matter, such as cards or posters, you cannot put in same any letter or bill, but must send the bill, or any written matter, under a separate envelope Last week one of our citizens was arrest ed for not knowing the post office laws on this subject. But few in fact are so informed,and are therefore liable to get into trouble. The Committee Meeting. It is generally regretted that the meeting of our County Committee was fixed at so distant a date as March 4. Almost all the surrounding conntie have already had their County Com mittee meetings and fixed the time for their primary election. In this Con gressional district, in both Mercer and Crawford counties, the County Com mittees have met and acted. In both but one primary was determined upon; in Mercer on April 7, and in Crawford on April 8, at which both the county tickets and the delegates to the State Convention from each are to be chosen. In neither of them was it even intimat ed that the* old Committee could or should select the State or National delegates. In no county in fact have we seen such a claim made for present county committees. The State rule, which they have all approved of, is so expressly against any other than the Republican voters of a county choosing Its delegates, that in no county yet heard from has there been any attempt or desire to break the rule. MEAUVILLF. is now lighted by elec tricity, of which its people are very proud. Butler is lighted by the—moon. Crawford County. The Republican County Committee of Crawford county met in Meadville last week and fixed April 8, for a pri mary, for all purposes. The Commit tee also took action relative to the manner of choosing the delegates to the National Convention from this Con gressional district. The first provision of the National rule was the one favor, ed, to wit: by a district Convention, composed of the three counties of Crawford, Mercer and Butler. They resolved, that at their primary on April 8 to elect five delegates or conferees! to meet with Butler and Mercer coun" ties and elect the two National dele gates. This is the true plan if it can be carried out. Rut Mercer has ex pressed her preference for the second branch or provision of the National rule, to wit: the choosing of the Na tional delegates by tho State delegates from the district at the State* Conven* tion. How is Mercer to co-operalo with Crawford and Butler? Then, any district Convention or Conference growing out of a Convention of dele gates, will have to meet between the Bth and the 16th days of April, the the latter being the date of the State Convention. This will require active work between those dates, even if Mer cer co-operated, and if our County Committee at its coming meeting agreed with Crawford and fixed our primary at a date early enough to have delegates elected by a district Conven tion. The mode of selecting delegates to the coming National Convention is exciting much interest and attention in every State, and while the matter has got a little mixed in this Congres sional district, yet it will be too bad if so strong a Blaine district fails to have her dolegates to the Chicago Conven tion chosen in his favor and directly, from the people. We direct the atten tion of our Crawford County friends to this vifiw of the case. THE Masonic Lodge of this place ofrgraphed st'o.<)o to the relief of the flood sufferers of the Ohio river. ELECTION OF STATE DELE GATES. Correction of Another Attempt to Mislead the Republicans of Butler County. The Eagle of last week contains the boldest attempt yet made to deceive the Republicans of this county. In an article written by Mr. Thomas Rob iuson, and headed "How shall our delegate.- be chosen," occurs the fol lowing relative to the matter of State Delegates: "Thus it will be seen that there is no rule binding us on the subject. The matter then seems to be one of prud ence on the part of the Committee— By "the Committee" is meant the present County Committee; and the subject meant is the one of delegates to State Conventions. It is positive ly asserted, it will be noticed, that there is no rule in this county on that sub ject. And this statement is made in the face of the fuct that the rule on the subject was adopted as late as last year. It would be charity to suppose he had forgotten the proceedings of last year's county committee. But that cannot be plead in this case—the time is too short since the the rule was adopted. It is said that "liars ought to have good memories," and this case rather illustrates the truth of that say ing. While Mr. Robinson has a good memory, and is apparently of sound mind, yet it is well known that his memory has failed him some times. It failed him the first and only time, the Republican party of this county ever committed a trust to his hands. He forget all about his pledges and promises to the people when he voted in the Legislature to repeal the "Ton natre Tax law" on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Were he out among the In dians they would dub him something like this: "The-Man-Who-Was-Not- Afraid-to-Forget-His-Promises." He has forgotten a great many things in fact. But there is one thing he never forgets, and that is himself. He lately would have forgotten that there were any delegates to be elected and now forgets there was a rule in our county providing for the manner in which dele gates to Republican State Conventions must b« chosen. And the CITIZEN call ing the attention of the voters of the party to the rule is what provoked him, and finally drove him to deny there was such a rule. This was no "boss" business on our part, but a sim ple and honest duty we owed the party, which we noticed he was trying to de ceive, all along, on a right too that had been obtained for the people after a long struggle against secret committee practices. Tbey have the right and a rule, on the subject, granted them by the State Conventions and Committees of 1882, and approved by the County Committee of this county on May 12, 1883. And here is the evidence. We copy the proceedings of the Republican Co. Committee of May 12, 1883, when it met to make the call for the primary of last year, as follows : COUNTY COMMITTEE MEETIN®. 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 Com mittee came to order at the request of Mr. Walker, who, before doing any further business, stated to the Commit tee that in the interest of harmony he desired to resign his position as Chair man of the Committee. Dr. Rumber ger then stated that he regarded him self but as a temporary Chairman and claimed no further rights than as such. Both gentlemen having thus resigned on motion of C. M. Brown, Esq., of Harrihville, James Stephenson, of Sum mit twp., was unanimously chosen Chairman of the Committee for the bal ance 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 watt fix ed for Saturday the 2d day of June, commencing at 2 o'clock p. M. On motion, the rule? adopted by the Pet üblican 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 county be conceded 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 1 o'clock P. M., to count up the votes and declare the result. The rule adopted last spring, requir ing the Chairman of the Co. Commit tee to have blanks for holding the pri mary prepared and sent to the differ ent districts, was recognized and the Chairman to perform that duty. S. W. MCCOLLOUGH, Sec'y. CALL FOB REPUBLICAN PBIMARY ELEC TION AND COUNTY CONVENTION. 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 one candidate for Dis trict Attorney and one candidate for County Surveyor; also two delegates 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 (4th) to count the vote and transact any other business that may come before them. J AS. STEPHEN*)*, Chairman. S. W. MCCOLLOUGH, Sec'y. The rules adopted by the Republi can State Conventions of last year pro vided that said delegates must be chosen "as members of Assembly are nominated in any county." We nom inate in this county by popular vote, and hence delegates must be chosen in the same manner. —The weather of the present month hag so far been almost a repetition of February of last year.

From Commercial-Gazette.] USIONTOWN, PA, Feb. 10.—The Fayette county Republican Commit tee met here yesterday to fix a time for holding the County Convention to elect delegates to the State Convention, Bad also to consider a method of choosing delegates to the Chicago Convention. It was decided to hold the primary elections on Saturday, March 8, and the County Convention March 10. Resolutions were adopted without dis senting votes providing that a popular district convention should be held to elect two delegates from the Twenty first Congressional district to the Chi cago Convention. The Chairman and Secretary of the County Convention were authorized to confer by corres pondence with the committees of West moreland and Greene, with a view of carrying into effect the plan of a popu lar district delegate convention. Ad vices received here from Waynesburg are that the Greene County Commit tee, which met Saturday, also decided in favor ot a district convention. It is thought that Westmoreland will also agree. Pennsylvania's Preference. In spite of the fact that Mr. Blaine is not a candidate for President his name will not down. It has appeared in nearly all of the Republican County meetings held in this State during the present week. The County Committee of Indiana county met on Monday, and the report says that "eight-tenths of the Repub licans of the county are for Mr. Blaine/' The Committee of Bradford met on the same day and the account of the proceedings savs that "on a call of members it expressed itself at the ratio of eight to one for Blaine." The Committee of Bedford met on Tues day, and an informal vote was taken for Presidential preference, showing 15 for Blaine, 1 tor Edmunds, 1 for Lin coln, 1 for Logan and 2 having no choice. In Huntingdon county the Journal is making a personal canvass, which shows an almost unanimous sentiment for Blaine. These are the chief indications which have thus far been given. They are worth noting as expressions of popu lar opinion.— Phila. Press. Washington County Republicans Will Follow National Com mittee Rules. WASHINGTON, PA., Feb. 11. —The Republican Vigilance Committee for Washington county met. here to-day. They fixed upon Monday, March JO, as the time for holding a convention to elect delegates to the State Convention. As this is the last meeting of the pres ent committee, a vote of thanks was tendered to the efficient chairman, Treasurer Hill. His lieutenants were also given a send-off. The following was adopted: Resolved, First—That we believe the two delegates to which this Con gressional district is entitled in the Re publican National Convention should be elected by a separate popular dele gate convention held within the dis trict, as provided for in the rule adopt ed by the National Committee. Second—That we endorse the steps already taken by the chairman of this committee to arrange with the com mittees of Beaver and Lawrence coun ties for the holding of such a conven tion, and we hereby authorize him to take such further steps, in co-operation with them, as may be necessary to per fect all arrangements therefore, which he will report to the County Conven tion this day called. Republicans of Greene County. From Philadelphia J're«a.| WAYNESBORO, Feb. 10—.The Re publican Committee of (ireene County mat here yesterday There was a fair representation from the townships. Sat urday, March 29, was fixed upon as the time for the election of delegates to the County Convention, which will convene the Monday following. Be side the choosing of delegates to the State Convention it was decided to nominate a candidate for county com* tuissioner, auditor and a full county ticket. The six or seven candidates were present at the delegates' meeting and agreed among themselves to closo their canvass at that time. At the County Convention conferees will doubtless be elected to confer with con ferees from Fayette and Westmore land counties, and choose delegates to the Natioual Convention, the two connties named having signified their willingness to agree to such an arrange ment. Selecting the District Delegates. The Republicans of Pennsylvania are reminded that but little uiore than sixty days will elapse before the meet ing of the State Convention. In that comparatively short time delegates to the State Convention must be chosen and some decision reached relative to the selection of district delegates to the National Convention to meet at Chi cago in June. The latter subject is of special importance, and if the Republi cans of the State do not wish to be mis represented at Chicago they cannot act too promptly nor too effectively. Fortunately for themselves they haye fair earning thus early of what is to be attempted at the State Conven tion Colonel Quay has spoken, and what Quay has said Quay will do his best to carry out. There is no doubt about his position at all. He is for Arthur for President, and he wants the district delegates chosen at the State Convention in the hope that by usual methods of the boss politicians he can manipulate the convention se lections in such a manner as to be able to put a gelid Arthur delegation in his pocket, to be delivered at Chicago as one man, after the old-fasblonod boss method. That is what Col. Quay pro poses to do, and there need be nobody deceived about the matter, unless he wants to be deceived. There is one way by which the Re | publicans of the State can beat Colonel Quay's little game and be sure that it {is beaten. That is by selecting the I district delegates themselves and in- I structing them in advance of the State Convention. They need pay no at tention to Qnay's suggestion that such selection would not be according to the party rulen. Quay was talking for Quay then and Knew bt vyas bluffing. If there is one thing that has bee:; es tablished beyond question by past na- I tioiw»i conventions delegates must be admit ed and Quay ! knows it. The only question for the 1 Republicans to decide is how thet-e i delegates shall be selected in the dis- i tricts.— Philadelphia Ttine**. Prospect ''Haps."

First, it, (the bain) was no! near Templetou Station, P. &. W. R. R., but teas near Brownsdale. You stated that it is supposed that the barn was ignited by a spark from a careless nephew's pipe. As lam the nephew in question I take the necessary steps to disabuse you. The report started in Mr. Perry inquiring if Wm. Ritchie, •Jr., had seen young Adams smoking as he (Ritchie) was going to Mr Perry's, past the barn for a load of hay. Ritchie, Jr , replied that he hadn't seen young Adams at all. A certain party heard the question and reported that yourg Bill Ritchie said that he had seen Joe Adams coming out of the barn smoking just before the fire, whereas Ritchie wasn't there and did not say it.
