HI TLER CITIZEN i
JOHN H. I W. C. NEGLEY. PROP'RS,
Entered at the POKI office at Butler as
xerond-rlcxs* matter. i
WEDNESDAY, MARCH. 12, 'B4.
Obey the Law.
When the matter of granting licens.
es to keep public houses was before
the Court last week, a strict observance
of the law was required by the Court
No law is more frequently violated
than the license law. Certain forms
are required in making the applications
•nd certaiu requisites required on the
part of tli6 applicant. It these iail in
any particular It ia the duty of the
Court to refuse the license.
Theu, often, after ft license has been
granted, its terms are not complied with
and if a renewal is petitioned for and it
is made appear to the Court that the
bouse licensed has not been conducted
according to the law the Conrt, in duty
bound, is compelled to refuse a re
newal. The interests of society as
well as the law require this. And both
require the Court to see to it that our
license laws arc not violated. While
those laws are up°a the statute books
let them be strictly observed. And i f
strictly observed there would be far
less drunkenness, and far less disorders
in community than there are. The
action of the Court is very generally ap
proved in this matter. Wherever it
was made to appear that the laws had
sot been adhered tc, in respect to the
house or the application to keep one,
or the character of the applicant was
not such as the law says it must be, in
all such cases it is the plain and sworn
duty of the Court to refuse a license.
The Committee and the Press.
The action of the Republican Co.
Committee last week relative to the
two Republican papers of this place,
will be generally approved by the Re
publicans of the county. From the
stand point the Committee looked at
this matter its action is not strange.
And from the stajd point we look at it
the cenmre is not strange to us. We
take our full share, in all due respect to
the Committee, knowing as we do the
object sought to be obtained, harmony
in the party. We can best illustrate
our feelings and opinion in the matter
by telling of a certain man who once
lived in: this place, a worthy citizen,
long deceased. lie bad a habit that
was peculiar. When be wanted to cen
sure or complain of a fellow-townsman
he never wont directly at him, or "for
bim" as the present saying is, but on
the contrary, if he saw him in company
with another man with whom he was
on good terras, or had no complaint
against, he would approach the two and
commence reproviDg the one with
whom be was on good terms, and thus
hit the other fellow, who he didn't like,
over the shoulders of the one he did
like. This was always very adroitly
and successfully done and the man in
tended soon "took the bint." In this
manner, we think, the Committee last
week intended its action to be under
stood, and so we are content, if the
other fellow is.
National Delegate.
By tho proceedings of our County
Committee last week, it will be seen
that the Republicans of this county
will vote direct for a delegate to the
National Convention at the primary
ordered for April 5. This was thought
a better way than the election of Con
ferees. The Convention meeting on
April T. will appoint the said Con
ferees to meet with the counties of
Crawford and Mncer, at which meet
ing will be determined the two dele
gate to which this Congressional dis
trict is entitled. This conferee meet
ing, as the Crawford Journal suggests,
can be held on April 10 or 11, in time
to certify ibe result to the succssaful
candidates and thus save any interfer
ence in the matter at the State Con
vention. Mercer, we presume, will ar
range to join in this matter. The
State Convention, if all the districts in
Slate act similar to this one, will thus
have the simple duty of naming only
the six National delegates at large to
which this Stute is entitled this year in
the National Convention. Four of said
six are to represent the two United
States Senators in Congress and the
other two will represent the Congress
man-at-Large that the State has to
elect this Fall.
THE Republicans of Armstrong
county at their County Committee
meeting last week, conceded to Butler
county the Senatorial delegate to the
comnig State Convention. This was
right and proper from the fact that last
year this county conceded tho same to
Armstrong. The said Senatorial dele
gate will therefore be elected by the Re
publicans of this county at the coming
primary of April 5, on the same ticket
that the two Representative, or dis
tinct county delegates to the State Con
vention are elected at that time, and
no conference will be necessary in that
matter this year. The two Represen
tative delegates will represent the
county and the Senatorial one the dis
trict.
HON. SAMIKI, GRIFFITH, of Mercer,
has withdrawn from the contest for
nomination for the Judgeship in that
county, and states as a reason that he
does not desire to pass through a can.
vass of misrepresentations and abuse,
such as has !>*• n instituted he says in
that county, and *uph, he might have
added, as ha* v ,n .j instituted in other
OOUOtICS.
THE proceedings of the Allegheny
County Republican Committee, that
met in Pittsburgh last Saturday, appear
to seek to combine both branches of the
National rule for election of delegates
to the National Convention. First,
the people are given the right to send
delegates to a County Convention in
each Congressional district of that
county, 22nd and 23rd districts, which
is all right. But instead of allowing
the township, borough and ward delt
gates, thus elected, to name the two
delegates to the National Convention,
according to first branch of the National
rule providing for district representa
tion, they refer that right to the Stale
delegates n»med by each of said dis
trict conventions, thus recognizing the
second branch of the National rule.
Why not have allowed the people,
through their direct delegates in each
district convention, to have named the
National delegates, as well as the State
ones ? However, if the people under
stand the matter and make sure of
whom their delegates choose as their
State delegates, these State delegates
cannot well ignore the popular will in
the selection of the National delegates
to the Ch-'cago Convention to nominate
the Presidential candidate.
Starting a "Boom."
It is becoming very fashionable to
"boom" candidates. For this purpose
the telegraph is the instrument most
generally used. Accounts of what
never happened in Committees or else
where at home are telegraphed to the
city dailies, giving glowing accounts
of this or that man's strength and bow
the people are crying for him to be a
candidate, and bow be is a candidate,
and bow his campaign is "booming,"
and at the same time there is truly
nothing of it, and no such things ever
happened.
We are led to say this from the ac.
counts sent from this place to the Pitts
burgh Com-Gazette and other papers,
concerning our County Committee
meeting last week. Nothing of the
kind stated in some of the dispatches
sent took place and this effort is only
damaging to the candidate thus sought
to be benefitted. People are too in
telligent these days to be thus hum
bugged.
HON JAMES K. MOORUEAD, of Pitts
burgh, died at his residence in that
city on the 6th inst., in the 78th year
of bis age. Gen. Moorhead was one of
the prominent men of country. Al
though self made he worked his way
to stations of influence and distinction.
He served the Pittsburgh district in
Congress for ten years, being first elect
ed in 1858. He was a very enterpris
ing and useful man and the loss to the
community in which be lived is serious
ly felt and much regretted.
Ma. Jos. M MCNAIR, of New Cas
tie, baa beea elected for the tenth tima
Grand Recorder of the Aocient Or
der of United Workmen in Pennsyl
vania. Mr McNair formerly lived in
this place and by energy and industry
has been successful in the world. He
takes great interest in the above Order
aud has riseu to be one of itH most im
portant and influential officers. We
take great pleasure in noting his selec
tion as above.
Committee Proceedings..
Up to this writing, Tueaday noon,
we have not received a copy of the
proceedings of the County Committee
that met Tuesday a week ago, nor can
we, after frequent inquiry, get any
trace of them What has become of
them ? There are two Secretaries to
the Committee whose duty it was to
see after this matter.
State Senate Question.
FAIBVIBW, TWP., March 7, 1884.
EDS. C.TIZEN :—Wo have not yet
seen the proceedings of the County
Committee meeting of the 4th inst, but
understand that a resolution was pass
ed in it conceding t,o Armstrong coun
ty the next nomination for the State
Senator to which this district, Arm
strong and Butler counties, is entitled
this year. If this be true, we think,
the Committee did wrong, and exceed
ed any power it had in the matter.
And, in order that the matter may be
understood, let me make a plain state
ment of of facts in the case, by which
it will be seen that our county is, ac
cording to all former usages entitled to
the present nomination for the State
Senate.
The term of a State Senator is four
years. Armstrong county had the Grst
nomination, Col. Jackson. Then, in
187 C, it was the turn and time of But
ler county to receive the candidate.
This was conceded by Armstrong Co
and owing to the trouble then existing
and arising out of the vote cast for Col.
Jordan, who bad the highest vote in
this county as a candidate for the office
at the primaries, the case went to a
conference between the two couuties.
Johu M. Greer, Esq., was one of the
conferees in this conference from this
county, appointed by Thos. Robiuson,
who claimed he had carried the couuty
and not Jordan. After several meet
ings of the conferees of the two coun
ties the contest was ended by Qreer
himself, one of the conferees, obtaining
the nomination. Although this was
known to be irregular and very extra
ordinary proceeding, jet the election
was approaching and the best that
could be done was to submit and ac
cept (Jreer. His name was consequent
ly put up in both Republican papers
nod his election advised ami he wan ol
course elected. He served the four
years from 1876 to 1880. Then the
nomination was in turn conceded to
Armstrong. But Mr Greer was in 1880
it candidate for nomination in this
Co., as was Hon. A. L Campbell, both
asking for it as a mere compliment, as
it was well understood at the time to
tie but a compliment, all conceding the
right of Armb»rong county to that dis
trict nomination. Mr Greer managed
; to have the most votes at our primary.
He appointed his conferees who met i
those of Armstrong in conferen e; but
instead of yielding to the right of Arm
strong county at the flr-'t meeting he t
prolonged toe conference to meeting a f - j
ter meeting and from nine to time and
fii allr managed to get the consent of
the Armstrong candidal to submit the
nomination to the Sta'.t Central Com- j
mittee which Senator Don Cameron
then controlled. The result cf t l iis was !
th« nomination of -Mr. Greer by th-j ,
S'ate Committee, thus taking from j
Armstrong county her riffbt in 1880. |
And now, under this brief statement
of facts, which countv is entitled to the
candidate now in 1884 ? We did not i
take the right of Armstrong away from
her four years ago. This county had
nothing to do with that wrong to her.
The ?tate Committeo did it, Armstrong
county consenting to its interference in
the matter. Why then is our county
now to be deprived of her right to the
present candidate? It is onr turn and
time now. according to all custom and
rule. This thing was done by others,
with Armstrong's then candidate con
senting. It was no benefit to this
county but mere a benefit to a single
individual of it, Mr Greer, who
through an outside influence secured a
seat in the State Senate for another
four years that rightfully belonged to
another person. And the question now
is, should the Republican party of this
county be made to suffer for the greedy
act of this one individual ? What has
our county to show lor thi6 theft of an
other counties right—nothing. It gave
an office and put money into the pocket
of John M. Greer and that was all.
Our late County Committee, therefore
could not have been aware of the facta
in this case, else it never would have
conceded to Armstrong a candidate
that the usages of the party give to our
county this year. At whose instance
this matter came before the Committee
we do not know, but clearly the Com
mittee had no right to pass or consider
anything on the subject. This county
has the right to the next candidate,
and il one is presented we do not see
how our right is to bo denied. I write
this believing our Committee at its late
meeting were taken unawares and act
ed as it did without knowiug the facts,
and with a desire to acquaint our peo
ple with the real facts. A candidate
9hould be presented by oar county for
the Senate and the case further discuss
ed, and although it would look hard on
Armstrong to demand our rights now,
according to the usage, yet it was no
fault of the Republican party of this
county thatshegave away or yielded her
rights four years ago, and hence there
is no injustice in demanding Butler
county's right now, Yours <fee.
A REPUBLICAN.
CLAY TOWNSHIP NOTES.
EDITORS CITIZEN Your readers
may be ready to ask if our section,
with Sunbury the metropolis in our
bounds, expect to furnish the quota of
men for all the vacancies to bv filled at
the coming election. Ob no, wo do
not aspire ourselves to such a monopoly
of county notables, but being near
Cherry township (of legal notoriety) it
will not be thought strange that some
of our great men present themselves as
candidates for suffrages of the people
But we r.re not all candidates. There
are enough to form a respectable pro
cession to the political funeral that may
follow tho primaries. We hope some
of theae estimable citizens will be al
lowed to remain, however much their
good example would benefit the county
seat, Tempun omnia revolat
A feat of extraordinary horsemanship
has received more attention in our sec
tion of late than tho coming election.
A pqnlre elected at the ide* of Feb- j
ruary, had occasion to drive our way
nod finding the railroad a good grad6,
chose it in preference to tho uneven
country road. Though, driring "Julio"
whom her master claimn can keep atop
with an express for a uiile or two, yet
he was with some difficulty pnrsuaded
to switch off as tho train almost due,
though nothing but a freight, waa
bound in the opposite direction. Of
course it wan the railroad and not tho
'squire that had been having something
to drink. Thisrxploit, though quite un
usual,seems to baveeacaped tho notice of
Quantum libct who chronicles items

from oblivion, that it may descend to
to our poaterity with the renowned
deeds of fathers that the world may
know that the Putnams ure not all

of noble aires who would dare to ride
