WEDNESDAY. APRIL 16. 'B4
One Primary Over.
One Republican primary iu this
oounty, that for tbe election of delegates
to National and State Conventions, is
now over and the result is satisfactory
to all. When we urged upon the peo
ple,through January and February and
March last, the importance to them of
holding on tightly to the powers given
lhem by our new rules in the selection
of these delegates, we wero answered
bv a Republican journal of this place,
and by some others, that the people
eared nothing about it and would not
attend to that duty. What was the
result? More than two thousand voters
of the county did turn out and did at
tend to the matter And the result is
that the new rules are now fairly and
fully put in practice and will continue
to be so.
Another primary, and one far more
important, is now approaching, that of
May 24. At this one nearly a full set of
couuty officers are to be
Among them ia a Jiulge of our courts,
members of the Legislature. County
Commissioners, and others,all of which
are of special importance to the people
at this time. The chief interest so far
uaturally centers upon the nomination
of the Judge. But for this, we think,
there should be but one question for the
Republican voters at the primary to
decide, and that is, who is the fittest
man ? Who has the best legal learning?
Who is most competent to sit in judg
ment upon the legal rights of our citi
zens ? In one sense this office should
be non-partisan. But political parties
make nominations. And the import
ance of the Republicans making a fit
nomination on May 24, can not be over
estimated.
William A. Forquek, Esq., of this
place, in the Democratic Presidential
Elector for this Congressional district.
Building the New Court House,
We are informed that plans and
specifications for the building of our
new Court House will not be ready be
fore June, or possibly July. The Com
missioners have been visiting other
counties to look at their newly erected
Court Houses, and yesterday morning
started for Huntingdon, Pa., to see the
Court House of that county which is
represented as one of modern style and
convenience.
In the meantime it is intended, we
learn, to tear down and remove the
material of the old building. But the
contract for this should be made public
by the receiving by the Commissioners
of proposals or bids, the same as for
any other part of the work to bo done.
It is in fact a part and parcel of the
work of erection, and the person doing
it should be interested in the preserva
tion of the old material. The contrac
tor for the new house won Id therefore
be one moßt interested in removing
the old one, as he could remove and
save the old material to the best ad
vantage, both for the county as well as
for himself. More will likely be saved
to the county in this way than by giv
ing out the work in separate parts.
But, in cither way, proposals should l>e
received and an opportunity given for
public competition in the removal of the
old building, the same as for the erec
tion of the new one. In this public
way only will the taxpayers be satis
fied that all i 3 being done in nn open
and fair manner.
—HON. GALIKIIA A. Gamv will
probably be President of the Republi
can State Convention that meets at
Ilarrisburg to-day.
The Slate Convention.
The Republican State Convention
meets at Harrisburg this day, Wednes*
day. Not for a long time has a State
Convention c»me so directly from the
Republican people of the State. The
will of its people will therefore be re
spected and carried out. That will is
for James G. Blaine as our next can
didate for President. VVe look for the
Convention to instruct for him by an
almost unanimous vote, and the voice
of Pennsylvania will be potential at
Chicago on June
The duties of the State Convention
will be, among others, to name the six
Delegates-at-Large to represent the
State iu the National Convention.
Every district in the State has seen to
the selection of its own district dele
gates. This will leave but the six
Delegates-at-Large tor the State Con
vention to choose. We have no doubt
great care will be taken in their selec
tion by the friends of Blaine, aud none
but his known friends sent to Chicago.
The Convention will also bayc the
settling of the Electoral ticket; the
nomination of Congressman-at-Large
for the State, and the naming of the
State Central Committee, one for each
county,to conduct the coming campaign
in this State. This latter, however, is
always done on the recommendation of
the member* in the convention from each
couuty. We look f»»r harmony and
union in all the proceedings of the Con
vention.
Tiifi Democratic State Convention,
that met at Allentown last week, de
clared for the Hon. Samuel .1 Randall
of this State for the Presidency.
.Xo. 5 well, on the McCalmont
farm, which came in Inst week, will
prove the best, it is said, of any yet ob
.ainod in tho Bald Ridge territory
The National Delegates
At the district conference, held tor
this Congressional district at Greenville
last Friday, all the three counties of
Crawford. Mercer and Butler were rep
resented, and the choice for delegates
to the Chicago National Convention
fell upon Thomas B. Cochran, Esq , of
Mercer county and W H. II Riddle,
Esq., of this county. Mr. A. 11. Steele,
of Crawford county, and Mr. George
W. Wright, of Mercer, were named as
alternates. Mr. Cyrus Kitchen, of
Crawford, was recommended as the
Presidential Elector for this district.
llev. Josiah R. Titzell, Professor
in Thiel College, was in this place last
Saturday.
Crawford County
The Republican nominations for
Crawford county were made last week.
Dr. W. B. Roberts, who was again a
candidate for the Congr?ssional nomin
ation, is beaten by Mr Charles W.
Miller, of Meadville, by votes; the
vote standiug for Miller 2,36£*; lor
Roberts 2,CM. Dr. Roberts had many
warm personal friends in tbe district,
but this result, we suppose, ends his
aspirations for Congress in this pres
ent district.
Mr. Miller is ft new man, and,should
he receive the district nomination the
singular case would be presented of a
Miller succeeding a Miller in this dis
trict. All three counties will present a
new man this time, and
there will be a new
deal all around, without any of the em
barrassing questions connected with
former district nominations.
Mercer County Nominations
The Republicans of Mercer couuty
met in county convention by delegates
on Tuesday of last week and put in
nomination the following full county
ticket:
For Judge, S. 11. Miller; Congress,
J. J. Spearman; State Senate, Samuel
McClure; Assembly, J. W. Russell, 11.
A. Harsh, T. B. Roberts; Sheriff, P.
L. Williams; Prothonotary, A. H. Mc-
Elrath; Clerk of Courts, William Jack;
Recorder, Jonathan Dean; Treasurer,
W. J. McKay; District Attorney, G.
E. Patterson; Commissioners, Wm.
Beatty, M. W. Alexander; Poor Direc
tor, Imbrie Zuver; Auditors, Jame3 S.
Walh.ce, W. L. Mercer.
The vote on the Judgeship was sub
mitted to the test of a popular vote, by
the instructions to the delegates at the
primaries on the same, and which
resulted in the nomination of Mr. Mil
ler, present member in Congress for
this district.
We are sorry to learn of the seri
ous illness of Mr. William Crookshank,
of Winfield township, this county. He
is a good citizen and we earnestly
hope for his speedy recovery.

The Tariff on Wool
WASHINGTON, April 7.—The Con
verse bill, to restore the tariff on wool
to the rates of 1807, came up yester
day. Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, made a
strong speech in favor of it, as did also
Mr. Converse, one of the Democrats
from Ohio, who promised the people
that if the Democratic party was placed
in power it would restore the rates on
wool. Mr. Morrison opposed the bill
bitterly, as did Mr. Hurd, the latter as
serting that be would rather take off
the entire duty than raise it one cent.
The vote was taken by ayes and nays.
The Democrats with few exceptions
voted against the-bill, while all the Re
publicans except twelve, who were
mostly from Massachusetts and other
Eastern States, voted for the bill. It
was beaten by a vote of 120 to 11 'J.
The vote on the bill serves to put the
Democrats on record. The campaign
in Ohio last fall was waged largely on
the issue of tho wool tariff. The Dem
ocrats promised that early in the pres
ent Congress a bill would be passed to
raise the duty on wool to the old tariff
of ISO 7, and now, after the Democratic
majority has avoided month after
month meeting the question squarely,
it promptly votes it down. It has
served to show the Ohio wool men
that they allowed themselves to be
duped by the promises of Democratic
stump orators, all of whom promised
that so much would be done for the
poor, wool growers by the present Con
gress.
—The amount of lumber, etc., haul
ed through this place, and carried on
the P. «V W. road to the Bald Ridge
district is immense, and everything
looks like brisk times there this sum
mer.
REVS. Samuel Kerr, of Harrisville,
and D. W Kwirig, of Centerville, this
county, were in town yesterday morn
ing on their way to Browm-dale, to at
tend a Presbytery of the U. P. Church
being held at that place.
—Mr. David Cnpps has secured a
quarry privilego opposite the Waller
X Boos mill of this place, and intends
at once to open up and ijuarry a large
quantity of good building stone, which
he will have for sale to nil parties wish
ing stone this summer
In the Long Ago,
From Pittsburgh Dispatch of Uth, inst.]
OQ Wednesday evening at sunset the
Jewish feast of the Passover began.
The origin ot the feast can be seen in
Exodus, where the following answer is
given to the question as to what is
meant by the service: "It is the sacri
fice of the Lord's passover, who passed
over the houses of the children of Israel
in Egypt when He sinote the Egyp
tians, and delivered our houses." The
festival begins on the 14th day of the
Hebrew "Xisan," which corresponds
to our month of April, and continues
for eight days, and this year will close
at sunset of next Wednesday. It is
looked upon in a religious and a joyful
spirit by the Hebrew people. In a
ioyful light because of a deliverance
"from bondage of their forefathers: and
in a religious light, to give thanks to
the God who thus delivered them. It
is enjoined upon the Hebrews to rest
from manual labor on the first and last
days of the Passover, and this com
mand is rigidly kept in their native
country. In America it is not, how
ever, as a general thing, observed,
though in Pittsburgh many of that re
ligious persuasion kept to their belief
by resting from work. Services were
held Wednesday evening and yester
day, and will be held each day of the
feast. Preparations are made for the
celebration by a general house-clean
ing.
But the most particular and rather
penitential observance of the Passover
is the use dnring that time ot only un
leavened bread. This observance aTso
has its origin from the facts given in
the Bible about the escape of the Is
realites from Egypt. For a long time
Pharaoh, the Egyptian king, refused to
let the oppressed people depart, but the
last plague, which was the killing of
every Egyptian first born, so affected
him that he ordered them to leave at
once, and they left, taking with them
their kneading troughs and the dough
therein before it was leavened, Jfter
they got outside the gates they took
this dough and rolled it into thin cakes
baked it in the sun, Their decendants
keep up a remembrance of this by use
ing during the feast of the Passover on
ly unleaven bread, which is made sim
ply from flour and water without the
other ingredients and concomitants
which people usually put into the mix
ture. This bread is usually obtained
from New York, I'hiladelphia and
Cleveland, but thisyeara firm in Pitts:
burghh has prepared some. It must
be very carefully made; other dough
must not come in contact with it, nor
must it be mixedjin vesselsjused formerly
to knead other kinds of dough. Any
one can, of course, make such bread if
he or she be careful enough to keep it
intact from afiy leaven. But all other
kinds of food are allowed.
A Cruel Wrestling Match
The so-called wrestling matches that
are now attracting the attention of the
sporting elements in our large cities
are very cruel affairs as will be seen
from the account of one that lately took
place in Cleveland, 0., between Ross
the local champion, and a Japanese
named Sorakichi, and which was wit
nessed by 1,000 people.
The first bout was catch-as-catch-can.
Time was called at sharp. The Jap
advanced with arms outstretched and
his body bent forward. He made a
grab for Ross and jumped on his back
like a tiger. He forced his man all
over the floor, and finally pushed him
over the ropes and on to the floor.
He then tried to prevent Ross from
getting back on the stage
This made Ross fighting mad and
there was blood in his eye. When he
regained the platform the Jap tried
hard to get a hold but failed in ne arly
every attempt In the meantime his
hard work made him tired, and he puff
ed and panted, while Ross kept in ex
cellent trim.
The Jap finally succeeded in getting
a crotch lock on Rosa, and held it firm
ly and turned Itoss over. The Cleve
laoder made a graud effort and broke
the bold aud jumped on his knees.
The Jap again tried to force his man
over the ropes. Ross suddenly got a
rolling hip lock on the Jap, and twist
ing his shoulders over, got all four
points down in fine shape. The Jap
wanted to push Ross again, and the
Scot raised his fist to strike him, but
the men were separated. First fall for
Ross. Time, o minutes 10 seconds.
The second bout was the Japanese
style. Ross did not understand the
putting on of the scurf which the .lap
wore around his waist. Sorakicbi was
asked to put it on for Roes, but he re
fused. lie finally consented, and went
about it in a cross, crabbed manner.
Time was called at 8:48. The Jap
bounded to the center of the stage like
a cannon ball, and before Ross knew
where he was the Fap made a terrific
drive with his head, and butted Ross
on the left side, knockiug birn to the
floor and breaking one of his short ribs,
and badly winding him. It was so
quickly accomplished that it almost
Ross's breath. Fall for Matsada Sora
kichi. Time less than two seconds.
The third bout was catch-as-catch
can. The Jap again took the advance
and started stealthily with his arms
outstretched. Hoss copied him, and
the two men walked and hopped about
both stooping low like a pair of game
cocks, arid glaring fiercely at each
other.
Suddenly they made a dive for each
other. Ross trot the Jap by the neck
and tried to turn him, but the wonder
derful strength of the foreigner helped
him out. Ross got a half Nelson lock
and they wriggled toward the ropes
and the Jap weut over,
II« was up again at onee, and Ilos3
made another half Nelson lock, and
they rolled over. Both men appeared
to lii' victors, hut the referees derided
the fall in favor of Ross. Harding ob
jected, and said he would not let thfc
Jup wrestle anv ruore. Both retired
to the Jap's room.
Roferco Curry said that Ross got
four points down fair and square, and
that I e was the winner. The time
was 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Ross
appeared game and anxious to con
tinue, although his broken rib pained
him.
The Jap appeared again at iu
spite of Harding's announcement that
he would not return. The fourth bout
was Japanese style. The heathen spat
on his hands touched* the floor, and
made a wild and savage leap for Ros*.
Ross was up to the butting act this
time, and was ready and willing ile
dodged the Jap the first two times, anil
then butted the Jap in the foi:e, nearly
breaking his nose. Again Ross let him
}i»ye it and butted liiui a terrible Mow
in the stomach. The Jap fell over on
his side winded and in had shape. Be
fore he touched the floor, however,
Iloss slipped and his hand touched,
m hich gave the bout to the Jap. Time,
one minute and a half.
The excitement was intense. It wan
fully five minutes before the referee ;
could announce the result of the bout. I
The Jap was led down stairs to his
dressing room by Harding. He walk
ed poorly aud was dizzy and weak. He
sank into a chair with the tears stream
ing from his eyes. He moaned piteous
lv, aud held his hand over bis nose and
stomach alternately.
The Japanese cyclone was complete
|lv knocked out. Harding returned and
t announced that the Jap was done. The
| referet called time and then ended the
! match in favor of Ross, who takes the
! stakes and the door receipts.
