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, 1884, at 1 o'clock P. M., for
the purpose of fixing the dates for
holding the primary elections required
to bo held in the county this year, and
for the transaction of such other busi
ness as may properly come before the
Committee. By order
JAMES BARR.
Chairman Co. Com.
Butler, Feb. 5, 'B4.
"THE announcement that Cameron
ia for Logan for President," says the
West Chester Jieiublican, "will not
improve that gentleman's chances for
the nomination. Pennsylvania might
vote for Logan after Blaine, but don t
want to do so to please Cameron or
any other boss."
IN Lawrence county a vote was
taken at the spring election, 19th inst,
on the question of having a poor house
in that county, and resulted as follows:
For poor house 1320; against, 2012,
thus defeating the measure.
WE have yet to see the first county
in the State that even thought of vio
lating the rule requiring delegates to
State Conventions to be elected by the
people. They all recognize the rule as
a good and binding one, for one year
the same as another.
THE New York Orapic says: There
ia a Blaine boom in Pennsylvania. Mr.
Blaine is undoubtedly the king of Re
publican statesmen, and as he is a
strong protectionist besides, the "boys"
of the Keystone State are attached to
him with hooks of nteel. But there is
indeed a boom for Mr. Blaine in every
Republican locality.
THE News-Register, Youngtown,
0., sent 500 postals to different parties
in Mahoning county asking their choice
for President. It received 440 an
swers, 870 of them for Blaine; 19 for
Lincoln; 17 each for Logan and Ed
munds, 11 for General Sherman 2 for
Harrison and 1 each for Grant, Arthur,
John Sherman and McKinley.
PRO*. H. W. ROTH, President of
Thiel College, Greenville, Pa., preach
ed in the English Lutheran Church of
this place last Sunday morning and
eveaing. Quite a number of our citi
zens, other than members of the church,
were present to bear him, and had it
been more generally known we have
no doabt a still greater number would
have been present. Prof. Roth is one
of the most eloquent and scholarly
speakers of the day. His sermons laßt
Sunday were exceedingly able and
listened to with much interest.
National Delegates.
Last week we referred to the fact
that Crawford,one of the counties com
posing this Congressional district, will
at her Republican Primary on April 8,
elect conferees to meet with Butler acid
Mercer counties for the purpose of
ehoosing the two delegates this district
is entitled to in tbe coming Chicago
Convention. In deciding to elect said
Conferees at their primary our Craw
ford friends show a determination to
closely follow and carry out the first
provision of the National rule. They
go down to the source of all power—
the people. This can never be wrong.
In the Journal of that county,of last
week, inquiry is made as to what But
ler and Mercer counties are doing in
the matter. The Journal says, "Now
let Mercer and liutler counties choose
their delegates to a district conven
tion." There is a strong feeling in
this county te have such a district con
vention. Our County Committee
meets next Tuesday, March 4, and as
there must be a primary to elect tbe
State delegates to the State Conven
tion of April 16, the people can also vote
for and choose conferees for tbe selec
tion of tbe two National delegates, in
similar manner to Crawford. Or, con
ferees can be chosen at tbe convention
assembled to count the vote cast on and
for the State delegates. This, as we
hare said heretofore, would be a com
pliance with the National rule, as those
delegates would Bpring from "popular,
delegate county conventions held in the
district.'' And if our primary for the
election of delegates to the State Con
vention, or the primary at. which they
may be chosen, is not put at a later
date than the Crawford one, April 8,
there will still be time between April
8 and 16 to meet the Crawford con
ferees, at which conference no doubt
Mercer county would be represented or
give consent to. The home rule or
popular branch of the National rule
would thus be carried out, which is
better than the other branch of the rule
allowing the Rtafr delegates to name
the National ones at Ilarrieburg. The
popular will would thus lie carried di
rect from this district to the Chicago
National Convention. No opportunity
would be given for altering or man
ipulating at Hnrrisburg. Our two
delegates to the National Convention
would be instructed at home and know
who our people want for President.
Mercer and Butler counties having
had the two delegates four year ago,
1880, of course one, of them now
should be conceded to Crawford county,
and the other one to either Mercer or
Butler, and the Presidential elector to 1
either one of these latter that does not
recrtvtr« ddffifttiv
Electing Slate Delegates
We have taken care to give the Re
publican voters of this county a full
knowledge of their rights respecting
the election of delegates to State Con
ventions. We have published the
present State rale on the subject, and
again publish it this week. All we
have been contending for is the observ
ance of this rule. It was secured, as
we have stated heretofore, after a long
contest with central machine manage
ment at Harrisburg. It was approved
and adopted by our County Commit
tee of last year. May 12, 1883. It was
practiced upon last year at our primary
election, when Judge Storey and Mat
thew X. Greer, Esq., were elected
our delegates to the State Convention
of last year. Whether these delegates
shall be elected this year ut the same
primary at which our county ticket is
nominated, or whether they shall be
chosen at a special primary for that
purpose only, remains for the action of
our present County Committee meet
ing of next Tuesday. But in either
case they must be elected by the republi
can voters of the county. It is no ar
gument to say, that the voters will
not turn out and attend to the matter.
That is an insult to the Republicans of
this county But whether the turn
out would be small or great, big or
little, that is the people's business, and
on them will rest the responsibility,
where it rightfully belongs. No man,
or set of men, can assume to be the
guardians of the people, or set them
selves up to save the "poor people"
from trouble in enjoying their most
dear rights. Equally insincere is it to
say, "that the weather is generally
bad and the roads muddy, etc., in
March and April." The roads in the
coming March and April may be asgood
as in May. And it is well.knownthat
the farmers, and in fact all others, are
as busily employed in May as in any
other month of the year. Corn ground
has to be prepared and corn planting
and plowing done in May. It is just
the month farmers don't want to be
disturbed while at their work by can
didates. This all know by experience.
This year, from all we hear, the Repub
lican voters prefer an early primary for
the nomination of the county ticket,
and wish the matter over as soon as
possible, like as done in other counties-
It will be better for candidates and peo
ple. It will save candidates much ex
pense and anxiety. It will be as fair
for one candidate as for another. They
will have more than a month to canvass
the county if the primary comes off in
April. And no candidate needs more
than that, time. Nor could he well
put in more than that amount of time.
The men that would be nominated in
May or June would very likely be the
ones who would have been nominated
in April. So that, considered in any
light it may, it will be equally fair to
all to have the primary in April this
year, besides saving candidates much
expense and anxiety, and the people
much unnecessary solicitation. In
surrounding counties they have already
fully considered the subject and have
generally resolved on early primaries
this year. They will have as muddy
roads and as bad weather to contend
with there as we may have here, and
as the Republicans of other counties
have not objected we do not belieye
our Republicans will. Besides, we have
railroads now by which nearly all purts
of the county can be easily visited.
County Committee.
The Republican County Committee
will meet on next Tuesday, March 4.
It is the Committee elected last year
and this will be its last meeting. It is
called to arrange for the primaries of
this year, fixing such date or dates for
the same as in its wisdom may be
deemed best. A county ticket and
delegates to the State Convention are
to be chosen at the primaries by ballot
by the Republican voters. Return
Judges are also to be elected from each
district of the county. These Return
Judges will compose the next Couuty
Committee. Under our county rules
they will be a convention when they
first meet to count up the votes cast at
the primaries. As such convention
they can take any action necessary as
to mode of selecting the National Con.
vention delegates, in conjunction with
Mercer and Crawford counties. Else
where will be seen what is going on
in this and other counties.
COL. THOMAS M. BAYNE, Congress
man from one of the Pittsburgh districts,
thinks Senator Cameron is Beeretly for
Senator Logan for President A
Washington dispatch to the Philadel
phia Press says: Representative
Bayne is of the opinion that General
Logan will be the first choice of the
Cameron managers for President. Sen
ator Cameron is understood to be com
mitted to Arthur, but Mr. Bayne thinks
Cameron is staying out of the country
purposely to avoid helping the Presi
dent and to allow Colonel (Juay to fix
up the convention for Logan. Mr.
Bayne expects to return shortly to
Pittsburgh. He says if the County
Committee does not issue a 'all for a
convention to elect delegates to the
National Convention upon the distriet
representation plan agreed upon at the
Convention of 1880, be will ask leading
Republicans to join him in issuing a
call for a convention to elect a delegate
on this plan. He is opposed to the
election of delegates by sub divisions of
the State Convention.
It will certainly do no harm for
those Republicans who do not prefer
General Logan, with J. D. Cameron
thrown in as a dispenser of rations, to
look well to the movemeota of Mr M.
S. Quay.— Crawford Journal.
THE Philadelphia Prexs says that,
willing or unwilling, Mr. Blaine wiil
have to run for President in Pennsyl
vania:

A Subterranean Horror
UNLONTOWX, PA , Feb 20, HB4.
The little mining village of West L«*is-
enring, situated four wiles north of
here, was this morning the scene tf
the most terrible explosion ever known
in the coke region, resulting in the
death ot nineteen miners.
The Connellsville Coal and Iron
Company have 200 coke ovens here
which have been in operation about a
year. The works give employment to
about one hundred men, and quite a
little town has sprung up nam d after
ex-Judge Leisenring, president of the
company. The coal is obtained by
means of the shaft, which reaches the
mine at a distance of 100 feet from the
surface. This morning a part of th"
force, who had worked all night, le f t
the min.-s at a little past three o'clock
and seventy other took th«ir places,
making the usual morning shift
A FRIOHTF. L EXPLOSION.
At about half-past six o'elock, while
the men were digging, suddenly and
without warning, there occurred an
explosion that convulsed the mine in
every apartment and threw the men
into the utmost consternation The
scene of the explosion WUH iu one of
the apartments fully 100 feet distant
from the bottom of the shaft and there
fore about twelve huudred feet from
the surface opening, yet the report was
heard on the outside for a considerable
distance, and caused such a jar that
the top of the derrick, 100 feet high,
was knocked oil". Two mules were
standing at the bottom of the shaft,
800 feet from the explosion, and the
rush of air blew one of them through
the wooden cage, shattering it to
pieces and killing the animal. The
other mule died from suffocation.
The awful scenes thateusued among
the terror stricken miners cannot be
described. All their lamps were blown
out and they were left in utter darkness
ami confusion. They had not time to
recover from the shock until they found
themselves unable to breathe. The
explosion of the fire damp, a term
which miners apply to the light car
bonated hydrogen or coal paa that
issues from crevices in the roof of the
mines, left the mines filled with what
is known as "after damp," which con
tains no oxygen and renders it impos
sible for life to be sustained for any
length of time. This "after damp" is
densest in the upper part of the mine,
and hence the men hovered near the
bottom: but even here they did not
long ftud relief.
01 all the men who were in the
heading where the explosion occurred
Dick Balseley alone escaped to tell the
awful story. When the explosion
came all the lights were blown out.
Balseley was just changing his clothes,
and he at once wound a portion of his
clothing tightly arcund bis face and
mouth to keep the foul air from chok
iug him, and gave the rest of bis gar
ments to his compauion, with instruc
tions to take the same precautions,
lie then started for the main entrance,
bidding his companion to follow. They
ran over the bodies of men and over
shattered wagons.
They could see nothing, however,
but could hear the groans of dying
men. Presently Balseley's companion
protested that they were not going in
toe right direction. He turned back,
and like Lot's wife, he perished. Bal
seley pushed on until he finally saw
light and was taken out. His escape
is regarded by experienced miners as
one of the most marvellous on record
He says some of the men kept their
heads under water as long as they
could and would have to change from
the water to the "after damp" until
finally they gave up the uuequal strug
gle.
Whea the news of the explosion
was flashed around the families of the
men gathered about the shaft and were
almost wild with terror and euspens-e.
Balseley's story gave them little
to hope that any of the unfortunate
miners could be got out olive. So dan
gerous was tte "after dacjp" that it
was fully two hours before any volun
teers could enter the mine. Many
were on hand ready to make the
search, but were unable to do so until
the hope of rescuing the unfortunates
alive had been abandoued.
It v/qs eight o'clock when the first
body was brought Qijt
State Rule.
The folloveiuij is the State Rule rel
ative to delegates from any county to
a State Republicau Couveution It
was adopted in HB2, and approved and
practiced upon in this county last year.
It says :
"Henceforth all delegates to Repub
lican State Conventions must be chosen
in the manner in which candidates for
the Assembly are nominated, except iu
Senatorial districts composed of more
than one county, in which conferees fof
the selectioa of Senatorial delegates
shall be chosen."
The Senatorial delegate belongs to
Butler county this year, Armstrong
county having it last year. It will no
doubt be conceded to this county by
Armstrong now, as we conceded it to
that eoqnty iast year, aijd thus save
the expense of conferees meeting.
