W. P. JAMESON, Y^R
April 5--How We Elect.
As there seems to be some little mis
apprehension as to the delegates the
Republicans of this county are called
upon to elect, and the manner of voting
for them at the coming Primary of
April . r >, we will again state the matter-
We do this the more cheerfully as this
is the first year, under the new rules of
the party, that so many delegates are
to be chosen, and thus naturally there
is all the more light needed to prevent
possible confusion in the voting.
In the first place, there i« one dele
gate to the National Convention to l>e
ehoowe. For this position three can.
didates are announced, Messrs. Hitter
and Kiddle of Butler, and Charles M.
Brown, Ksq., of Harrisville. The
voters must choose between them on
the sth of April, and as that position
is at the head of the tickets being cir
culated there cauuot well l»e any mis
take in the manner of voting.
But as to the State delegates t here
may possible lie somejnformation need
ed as there are three of them to elect.
One of these three is called a Sena
torial delegate, and it is thus printed
WD the tickets. The other two are call
ed Representative delegates. For the
Senatorial there is but one nante an
nounced as jet, Mr. llarley, of I'etrolia.
lie, if elected, will represent in the
State Convention this State Senate
district Butler and Armstrong coun
ties. Then there remain two Kepro
sentative delegates tu elect. Them
two represent the county proper in the
State Convention For these two
places the voter will observe there are
four names announced, Messrs. Barr,
Brandon, McCall and Stephenson.
Front these four names two must be
selected by the voter on the f»th of
April, thus making in fact three tickets
to fill up in all for delegates. The
tickets that are being circulated will
guide the voter if observed closely.
By the order of the County Com
mittee the member of the committee in
hie district should be npon the ground,
organize the meeting, and act as the
judge of.the same, und bring to the
County Convention on April 7, the
votes cast, declare the result, and do
whatever else may be necessary iu the
primaries.
THE Allegheny Connty Republican
primary, for the election of Delegates
to the National and Htate Conventions,
comes off on Saturday next. The con
test there between the adheranta to
the old machine methods and the people
is a new one for Allegheny county aud
is looked to with great interest out
side, as it involves much of importance
to the Republicans of the State. The
issue is, whether the Kepublican vo
ters of Allegheny county shall choose
said delegates or whether they shall be
chosen by set up delegates to the State
Convention The voters generally are
for Maine for President and have de
termined that the will of the majority
shall prevail. This they are enforce
ing through a Citizens Committee of
One Hundred and they go right down
to the people for instructions, and all
is iieing done within the party organi
sation.
SATURDAY K week, April the tirst
Kepublican primary. Let there be a
good turnout in everv district. C'on
▼ention on the following Monday, April
TtU.
NEXT Saturday week, first primary
comes off.
A CHOI. k for President is printed
upon the tickets for the tirst primary
to ifiv<» the voters an opportunity to
express who they tavor.
THE peoples'train has the right of
wav this vear—t<et on board—plenty
of room and no change of cars, says
the Philadelphia I'rex.*.
Tits lowa State Senate hat- passed
a Woman Suffrage amendment bill to
the Constitution of that State If the
House concurs it will go to the peo
ple for approval.
THE mental condition, monomania,
of one of our press is alarming to his
friends, who are now talking about
Dixmont Hospital as the curative place
This is a sad case.
THE New York Independent believes
that "the end of this century will see
prohibition adopted over nearly our
whole country" and adds, "and yet
peopic tell us the world is growing
worse and worse.
THE Attorney General of the Cnited
States directs all 17. S. Attorneys and
Marshals to see after and prevent the
shipment to foreign countries of dyna
mite, our great explosive. It is used
in the old world to blow up the rulers
in disfavor.
THE communication relative to the
new election district at Bald Ridge, this
county, came too late for insertion this
week It has been created for tho con
venience of the people there and upon
a petition sent to the Court signed by
nearly all, we understand,of the voters in
that fast growing place. The proceed
ings for its formation are said to 1R- all
regular and according to law.
IT is rather amusing to seo the run
now to get on the Blaine train. But
it will carry all. bet Butler county
Republicans join in and instruct her
delegates on April sth, to both Na
tional and State Conventions, for
Blaine, the people's choice,and if Penn.
sylvania sends a solid delegation to the
National Convention he will be nom
inated and success assured in Novem
ber.
THE Grove City Telephone is a
little mixed in its announcement list
of candidates. It has the name of Mr.
George Moon, Republican candidate
for Sheriff nomination of this county
under the head of its Democratic an
nouncements. Mr. Moon's name
should be in its Republican list of an
nouncements. So also it has the name
of Mr. Tinstman for County Superin
tendent, among its Democratic an
nouncements. That office should be
under the head of neither party, al
though Mr. Tinstman is a Republican.
THE Democrats in Congress are
getting deeper and deeper in trouble
on the tariff question. We have never
Iteen much alarmed at their efforts to
lower the tariff rates, and now feel
ldss. They do not and cannot agree
among themselves. But the wonder
is that they bring up this question at
at present. The i>eople generally feel
that a step was made in the wrong di
rection by the reduction made by the
last Congress, especially in the articles
of wool and woolen goods. The old
rates on the importation of foreign
wools ought certainly to l»e restored,
and if Congress would do that the
people would excuse them from any
further attention to the tariff question
at present.
Receiver Appointed.
A Receiyer has been appointed for
the Shenango and Allegheny Railroad.
The application for same was made in
Pittsburgh last week by creditors who
reside in Great Britian. But we under
stand their object is not to sell or em
barrass the road, but merely tp protect
themselves from what may l>e done
by other creditors. The road will
be run as usual, and under the manage
ment of Mr. Blair as heretofore.
There has been no mismanagement
alleged against him or the officers of
the road Mr. Blair on the contrary
has been continued as General Mana
ger by the Receiver appointed, Thomas
P. Fowler, of New York. The Receiv
ership embraces also the Mercer Mining
and Manufacturing Company. We
hope it may not be long until both
these companies are free from any fi
nancial embarrassments.
Receiver Fowler has issued the gen
eral order No. 1, bearing date the l.'tth
inst:
"Having lieen appointed Receiver
of the Shenango & Allegheny (It. K.
and the Mercer Mining and Mannfac
turing Co. by the circuit Court of the
I'nited States for the Western District
of Pennsylvania, by virtue of such
appointment, I have this day taken
possession of the properties of both
Companies, and hope every one will
l>e interested in my efforts to reorgan
ize and place the properties in a posi
tion of strength and credit, and i ask
continuance of the faithful services
which all the employees have per
formed for the otticers of the Com
panics. I will endeavor to arrange
for Ihe prompt payment of all wages
in arrcar, and my wish is to have
the employees hereafter promptly paid.
Mr. .1. T. Blair will continue to act
as General Manager of both Compa
nicfl, and in addition will assume the
duties and responsibility of Assistant
to the Receiver.

The Committee Proceedings
CLAY TWI\, March 24, 1884
EDS. CITIZEN :—Failing to see in the
papers the proceedings of our late Re
publican County Committee, I drop
this in behalf of the Republicans of this
section, and ask, why are they not pub
lished ? It seems the proceedings were
given to a young attorney of Butler, at
his own request, and with n promise
from him that he would prepare them
for publication in the Republican pa
pers But it seems now that part of
them are suppressed ami are never to
see the light. Who is doing this, the
Republicans of the county have a right
to know, as the county committee al
ways has been supposed to represent
the party of the county Wo know it
is not vou, or the CITIZEN office, that
is suppressing our proceeding's, as you
have called for them, and have desired
to publish them entire Before the
meeting of the Committee we were told
by the Eagle that it was an extra good
committee, that it was a "loyal" one;
that it was a very "intelligent" one, and
"knew its own business," and that
when it assembled it would do its busi
ness satisfactory to the Republicans of
the county, etc. All this was said
when it was l»eing urged by the Eagle
that the committee should choose the
delegates to the State and National
Conventions and not let the people
choose them by our party rules. Now
what has made so great a change, that
when this "loyal" committee did meet
on March 4. and did its work, that its
full proceedings arc suppressed ? [t
seems it is not as "loyal" now, after its
meeting, as it was before its meeting
And the Eagle this week tells us it
acted "hasty and ill-advised," and in
sults the members of the committee by
telling them, "if the committee wants
to go into the newspaper business it
can do so, provided it is ready to pay
our price." What this "price" would
be, we don't know, but for the good of
the party we think it ought to be raised
and paid and that concern ended. This
is an eye-opener as to tho Republican
ism of that paper We have on some
occasions taken some stock in its say
ings, but this satisfies us we were mis
taken in ita Republicanism- And if
the committee would join iu and buy it
out we think there would be no further
trouble in the party. It wants not only
to dictate to the committees but it is
filled tvery week with abuse of Repub
licans. Look at it this week! Men of
the highest standing in the party and
in society are attacked, merely because
their names are announced as candi
dates. This kind of low abuse is not
done anywhere else in any Republican
paper we see. And it is only doing
good to the men it abuses and harm to
its favorites. And therefore let it go
on, and you go on in your way as you
are doing, and make no answer to any
of its slurs, and you will soon see what
the people think of the course of the
Eagle. OBSERVER.
Communication.
MESSRS EDS: —I would like to ask
the correspondent of the Eagle whether
it was three, beardlex* boy* that detain
ed Sanford here on Saturday night ?
We know what the answer will l.e. It
was tho "big bugs" of tho town that
brought him Imre this time. They
fared no better than the boys did. W hat
was the reason ? Because the people
have found out how meanly some of
them acted towards the boys who were
doing all in their power to give the peo
ple the benefit of a good lecture. The
people that were there went away satis
fied that they had got the worth of thoir
money. It was not so on Saturday
night. Again the half that were there
were ( 'Jompliinentariex and the mem
bers of the association. But notwith
standing all this we extend our heartfelt
sympathies to the association and its
Honorable Head in this their very sad
disappointment and l>eg them to remem
l»er "lis hard to crush the boys."

The People Ruling.
The great body of delegates in the
National Republican convention will
come directly from the people. They will
will be chosen by popular district con

and order of the Convention ot
They will speak from the people and

within the district, and not a single one
of the sixty eight district delegates of
New Yotk will be elected at the State
Convention. Every delegate from
