CRAWFORD and Mercer counties have
each a lady candidate for Co. Superin
tendent of the Common School?.
A NUMBER of communications, among
them two or three reports of schools,
have to be omitted this week. We
will try to insert them in our next.
TICKETS for the first primary, April
5, are being printed for the candidates
for delegates to National and State
Conventions; one National delegate
and three State delegates, one of said
three being called a Senatorial and the
other two called Representative dele
gates.
TII.DEN lias positively announced
he will not permit his name to go be
fore the Democratic National Conven
tion for another nomination for Presi
dent. His age and infirmities are such
that ho could not stand the labors of
the office. This eliminates one from
the Democratic list of candidates nam
ed. Randall seems now to be the
choice of the Democrats of this, his
native State, but with Blaine, also a
Fennsylvanian by birth, as the Repub
lican standard bearer in tho coming
contest he will sweep away any and
every chance for Mr. Randall in Penn
sylvania. _
PRESIDENTIAL candidates 70 year 9
ago wore chosen in a close caucus at
Washington; 50 years ago they began
to be chosen in Conventions, meeting
noarly a year before the event. A
half century of these conventions has
made the choice of delegates more im
portant than the convention itself.
American politics thus move nearer
the people, and the popular choice in
progress now is the coming shadow of
a day when the voters of each party
will act directly in making these nom
inations. Already the selection must
be by the people or success cannot be
had.
OF all the men now in public life
none surpass the Hon. Thomas M.
Bayne, of the Allegheny city district
in Congress, for courage, manhood aad
an intelligent regard for the rights of
the people. He is perfectly fearless and
always right. .Recently an effort was
made to deprive his district of direct
representation of its delegates in the
National Convention. This led to a
rousing mass meeting in Pittsburgh
last Saturday in which Mr. Bayne took
an active part and the work of which
meeting,if we miatake not,will not only
scatter thej ringaters of Allegheny
county, but secure the voters of that
county their voice and choice on the
Presidential nomination Blaine is the
choice of Allegheny as fully as he is of
this county, and Col. Bayne is an ard
ent supporter of Blaine.
IN reference to the part that should
lie allowed the State Senatorial repre
sentation in Congressional district
meetings, wo think the rule has always
been to allow it only to the county
having at the time the said State Sena
torial delegate being the county in
which he reside s If this is not the
rule it ought to l>e. In the coming
Congressional Convention in this dis
trict, Crawford, Mercer and Butler
counties, for the choosing of the two
National delegates, there cannot be
any trouble according to this rule or
practice. Butler county has this year
the Senatorial representation as against
Armstrong county and consequently
will send three conferees or delegates
to the Congressional district Conven
tion; while Lawrence county claims,
and we believe has conceded to her by
Mercer, the other county of that Sena
torial district, the Senatorial delegate,
who will therefore, of course, take part
in the Congressional district of Law
rence, Beaver and Washington coun
ties in the selection of National dele
gates.
The Primary of April 5.
The Republicans of Butler county
should bear in mind the first primary
that comes off 011 April 5, less than
three weeks from this date. It is for
the election of delegates to the National
and State Conventions, under the new
rules that have been obtained for the
voters after a long struggle with the
boss and machine powers. The Re
publican vottrs now have the oppor
tunity to express their choice for their
future Presidents, and they can so in
struct the delegates they vote for on
the sth of April. The State ones (3)
are as important as the National one.
as the State Convention cau and should
voice the wishes of the entire State in
the selection of the delegates-at-large
it has to select to the National Con
vention.
THIS CONGRESSIONAL DIS
TRICT.
Will Be Heady.
Butler county's first primary election
comes off on Saturday, April •>.
Mercer county's on Monday, April
7 th.
Crawford county's on Tuesday,
April Bth.
Thus it will be seen the primaries of
the three counties of this Congressional
district will soon follow one another in
quick succession. Each county will
either elect or appoint delegates or
conferees for a joint meeting, probably ;
at Greenville and on April 10 or 11*
The object is the selection of the two
delegates to which this district is enti
tled in the coming Chicago Republican
National Conyention for the nomina
tion of the next Presidential ticket.
This matter has moved along so
smoothly and so well that we cannot
believe there will be any failure in the
matter. From the time the alarm was
first sounded of an attempt to steal
away from the Republican voters of
this county and State their right to
send their delegates to National and
State Conventions by popular vote, the
people become thoroughly aroused and
took a deep interest in the matter. Let
this interest continue in this county un
til the primary on April 5. Let there
be as good a turnout on that day in each
township and borough of the county as
possible. The members of the present
County Committee were, by the order
of that body, constituted the Return
Judges to bring in and count up the
votes at a County Convention to be held
on the following Monday, April 7. By
this they act as a Convention for that
purpose, and wo have no doubt the mem
ber of the Committee from each district
will be present at the polls on the sth
and at the convention on the 7th and see
to it that all is done rightly and well.
Information Wanted.
EDS. CITIZEN :—I notice that no ex
planation has been made as yet regard
ing a double credit given the Couuty
Treasurer in the report of the County
Auditors and Commissioners of last
year's receipts and expenditures of the
county. The item is in that part of
the report headed, "Treasurer J. H.
Miller credit by expenditures lor Butler
county for 1883," where it will be seen
that "Constables' Returns, $598.85,"
appears twice and is twice credited to
the Treasurer. I have carefully footed
up the whole amount at the bottom of
the said expenditures as published, ss6,-
937..'57, and find that it takes the items
of "Constables' Returns" both to be
counted in before you can have that
aggregate of $56,937.37, to balance. It
is therefore clearly a double credit and
should be explained to the people. I
would wait longer for an explanation
had I not learned that in the Eagle pa
per one of the Constables' Returns
item had been taken out of that paper
without any explanation why it was
thus taken out. It appeared in it at
first the same as published in your pa
per, the CITIZEN, where it still stood.
This changing the matter in the Eagle
from the manner originally published
causes many to suspect that something
wrong to the county is intended in the
end. If a mistake on the part of the
Auditors and Commissioners should it
not be publicly corrected ? And if not
corrected now when would it be ? If
public records that so much concern the
tax pavers of the county are to be thus
treated, what is our remedy ?
Yours etc., P.
BUTLER, March 13, 1881.
Were we to give the most proper
answer, for a remedy for such mistakes,
as pointed out above, we would say to
the Republicans of the county, to nom
inate and elect a higher grade of Coun
ty Auditors. For clearly the main
fault in the above case rests upon the
auditing board of the county's receipts I
and expenditures. Too little attention
generally has been paid to the selection
of the County Auditors. And at no
time has it been more important than
it is this year that good and competent
persons be nominated for County Aud
itors ; for within the coming three
years all the expenditures in re-building
the new Court House will come under
their supervision.
In regard to the item of double credit
referred to above, we are informed that
it was brought to the attention of the
Commissioners some weeks ago. It
is said to be but one of other mistakes
in the late report. It is certainly no
correction of such a matter for the edi
tors of a paper to quietly set out the
types that showed the error. This is
not dealing with the public as should
be by county officials. And all we
have to say in regard to other matters,
as to which there are rumors at present,
that if such facts are brought to our
notice, as the one above, we will not
suppress them but give the public all
the light we can. In the meantime
we again direct the attention of the
people to the importance of making
good and competent nominations this
year.

Political Points All Around.
How Blaine Booms in Lawrence.
NEW CASTLE, March 11.—A some
what important straw vote, as indica
tive of the sentiment of Lawrence
connty in regard to the coming Presi
dential election, has been taken among
the prominent manufacturers, merchants
mechanics and farmers. Tbe vote for
President stood: Blaine, 408; Arthur,
4; Edmunds, 3; Logan, 3; Sherman
(John), 2; Sherman (Gen.), 2; Lincoln,
2. Grant 1; Kelly, 1,
—ln Fayette county on Saturday
week, Blaine district delegates were
chosen by a decided majority. Out of
44 precincts in the county, 35 went for
the real Blaine delegates—for there
were two sets of Blaine delegates in
the field, one real and the other sham.
—Adams and Fulton county Repub
lican conventions elected Blaine dele
gates to the State Convention on Mon
day. The people in Pliladelphia, Alle
gheny, Lancaster and Lucerne coun
ties are in open revolt against the
tricks by which they are to be cheated
out of the right to choose their own
delegates to the National Convention.
—ln Crawford county, Delegates
announce in the papers the same as
other aspirants for political favors,
Thus in the Journal eleven.Republicans
announce for delegates to District Con
vention (five to be elected), and of this
number four add. "For James Q.
Blaine for President." Six are announced
for State Delegates.
—Aside from Mr. Blaines undoubted
popularity' there is deep down in the
people's heart a feeling that the Man of
Maine has been wronged by scheming
politicians who are to him, morally and
intellectually, as Lilliputians to Gulli
ver, and hence is there coupled with
the wide desire for bis nomination a
firm determinatiou to right a wrong.
The people have a conscience if the
politicans havn't,and sooner or later that
conscience will come out on top.
—While the district convention is
preferable it does not follow that the
choice of delegates must be left to the
State convention if the difficulties at
tending a district convention are un
surmountable. Conferees may be
named by the different counties. Con
ferrees are delegates and, when chosen
for the particular purpose of electing
national delegates, and there is no rea
son why they should not perform their
duties to the entire satisfaction of the
voters. Where there are so many dif
ferent ways of giving the people an
opportunity to send their own delegates
to Chicago it cannot be that all must
fail. One plan or another can surely
be agreed upon, if the beneffts of popu
lar representations and the risks of the
intervention of Harrioburg imfluences
are contrasted.— Philadelphia Press.
IF the next meeting of editors in the
Western part of the State comes off on
April 5, aB is suggested by the Green
ville Valley Neu-s, it is more than like
ly none of the press of this place can
attend at that date, as one of our pri
mary elections then takes place. Can
not a later date" be arranged for it ?
