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.

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.

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.

Fayette Republicans.
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**.

That Adams Barn Fire.
MESSRS. EDS: —A paragraph in your
issue of the inst., in relation to the
burning of Miss Nancy Adams'barn is
incorrect. 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. Ann that I have qot been
near the barn for 30 days, Miss Adams
herself is ready to take au affidavit on
it. And that, I wasn't nearer the barn
than the store, Miss Adams and Willie
Hamilton are credible witnesses.
