BUTLER CITIZEN JOHN H. k W. C. NEGLEY, PROP'RS, Entered at the Postojftce at Butler is tecond-cla*** matter. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 'B4. Republican Slate Ticket. FOR PRESIDENT, JAMES G. BLAINE FOB VICE PRESIDENT, ROBERT T. LINCOLN. FOB 00NGRE8SMAN-AT-LARUE. GEN. E. S. OSBORNE, Of Luzerne county. For President. The Republican State Convention obeyed the will of the masses of the Republican party of Pennsylvania and instructed her delegates-at-large to the National Convention to vote for the Hon. James G. Blaine as her choice tor President. We raise his name therefore to the head of the CITIZEN this week. This action of the State Convention is not only in accord with the express ed sentiment of the Republicans of this county but with that of the Republi. cans of the State as well. The six Delegates-at-Large, who are to repre sent the State at the Chicago National Convention, are all friends of Blaine and are instructed to support him as long as his name is before that Conven tion. The district delegates are in structed by the people and Blaine should therefore receive Pennsylvania's full yo te about 60. Unless the wil l of the people is again ignored we look for kit nomination on first ballot in the National Convention. The names of the Delegates-at-Large and the proceed ings of the Convention will be seen in another place. ROB VICE PRESIDENT, We also raise the name of Robert T. Lincoln, of Illinois, only son of Abra ham Lincoln, the first martyr Presi dent of the United States. Should the national convention present these names to the people they will sweep the coun try beyond a donbt. ROB CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE, We place the name of General E. S. Osborne, of Luzerne county, the nom inee of the State Convention, in its proper place. TBI XLKCTOBAL TICKET, Will hereafter be placed in its proper place. It is a particular matter, as to qoalifaction, and may need some re vision. A Just Complaint. It seems there is disappointment and bitter complaint following the manner by which the two delegates to the Na tional Convention for thin district were chosen at the Greenville conference on the 11th inst. The Republican papers of Crawford county, as well as some of thoee of Mercer county, came to us last week strongly denouncing what they allege was an unfair bargain made be tween the conferees of Mercer and But ler counties at said conference, and by which bargain Mercer and Butler coun ties agreed to divide the delegates be tween themselves, and did so. By thin action it is claimed that Crawford county was unduly and unjustly de prived of her right to one of said dele gates. The charge of unfair dealing in the matter is founded upon the fact, that when the conferees of the three counties went into session the first bal lot developed the election of a Butler and a Mercer county delegate. Craw ford was thus left out, very unexpect edly to them, and hence the complaint. Were it not for the fact that the right of Crawford county, to one of the dele gates on the present occasion, was free ly acknowledged by the Republicans of this county who understood the situa tion, we would not think the matter worthy of serious notice. In the ClTl zen of Feb. 27, we referred to the right of Crawford to one of the delegates to be chosen this time, as a matter that should be conceded to that county And onr only purpose now is to place the Republicans, generally, of this county right in this matter. And this becaose of the serious effect this action of Butler and Mercer may have in the political affairs of the district. We agree with the Greenville Advance- Argus, that honesty is the best policy in political as well as other matters, and that this matter, like chickens, may come home to roost. The facts are about as follows: Four years ago, 1880, Butler and Mercer counties bad the two delegates to the National Convention and Crawford then accepted the Elector. The Elec tor matter is not regarded as of HO m uch political importance or honor as that of being a delegate. Therefore, without going any farther back than four years ago, Crawford county natu rally expected ono of the delegates at this Presidential year, and that Butler or Mercer would take the Elector now, to be determined between them which one. This, we are bound in justice to say, would have been the proper action of the conference, the more especially as Crawford is much the larger in pop ulation and Republican vote of the three counties of the district. The Re publicans of this county should not be held responsible for thin dealing to wards Crawford county in this matter. Our people were not desiring or look ing for anything of that kind. THE district delegate)*, as chosen l>y the several CougroHaional districtH of the State to tbe National Convention were not in any wise inieriereu with or any attempt made at tbe State Con vention to give them anyjotber instruc tion* than what they Lad received from their people. BLAINE AND LINCOLN. Pennsylvania Names its National Republican Ticket. HARRISBIHI., April 16, —The Re publican party of Pennsylvania, in con vention assembled, to-day registered the popular will in the formal nomint» tion of James G. Rlaine for President and Robert T. Lincoln for Vice Presi dent Of the intention of the great ma jority of the delegates to perform this work in good faith and with enthusiasm there was at no time any doubt. To make sure of it, however, and to make sure of it without any unnecessary de lay, the delegate broke in upon the or der of proceedings which had been agreed upon and had a vote on the main question just as soon as the per manent chairman, Mr. Grow, had set the wheel in motion for the routine work- It had been intended that Senator Stewart should, at the proper time, in troduce the resolution of preference and instruction, but he never had an oppor tunity. When the rural delegate threw in his resolution instructing the Com mittee on Platform to report Blaine &nd Lincoln instructions, it was adopt ed with a rush. One of Magee's Alle gheny men who expressed dissent was actually hissed down. The luckless fel low then called for a division and they gave it to him with a vengeance. Only a little group of Philadelphians and Pittsburgherß braved another storm of derision by standing up for the nega tive, and most of the Philadelphians hastened to explain to Mr. Blaine's friends, some that they were in favor of Blaine, but opposed to instructions, and others that their opposition was to the Lincoln part of the resolution. When it came to the consideration of the platform there was not a distent ing voice at the mention of Blaine s name, and the desired instructions were unanimously given. THE ONLY STRUGGLE. The Allegheny contest nearly wore out the patience of everybody, as it certainly did that of the Committee on Contested Seats, before it came fairly before the Convention. It was refer red in the morning to the committee, which was constituted about as agreed upon yesterday. For six long hours the committee wrestled with this Allegheny affair, both sides presenting big paper books and being represented by counsel, and it was not until 8 o'clock to-night, sev eral recesses having been taken mean while, that the result wa3 announced on the floor. There were two reports, the majority, headed by Senator Stew art, favoring the ousting of the Magee delegates and the seating of the Blaine contestants, and the minority, whose spokesman was Howard Reeder, of Northampton. The gallery was filled with admirers of Magee, and the min ority report, which was long and argu mentative, was greeted with great cheering. A spirited debate followed, in which Senator Stewart made the speech of the day aud Judge Reeder displayed great ability. Thus the whole Philadelphia delega tion, with the single exception of Col. Snowden, voted for the adoption of the minority report. By handling forty odd votes from Philadelphia, and al lowing the contestees to vote on their own case, the door was shut in the face of the Blaine contestants, although by very narrow majority. The vote on the adoption of the minority report stood, ayes 128, noes, 117. The an nouncement was received with a deaf ening shout from the galleries aud lobby, and Quay and Magee looked really happy. THE WORK OF BALLOTING. It was 10 o'clock when the Conven tion got down to the work of balloting for delegates and electors-at-large, and it took an hour and forty minutes to call the roll on the first election, which was the six Blaine instructed delegates to Chicago. There were some excel lent nominating speeches, notably those of Col. A. Wilson Norris, naming Jas. McManes, and of Col. Snowden, pre senting Hamilton Disston. The other candidates were Senators Emery, Lee, B. F. Jones, P. L. Kimberly, W. H. Jes.sup, James N. Shomo and James Milliken. Mr. Jones, who was represented by Col. Bayne on behalf of tho business men of Allegheny, was antagonized by the Magee delegates from that county, who, through a combination of Quay delegates from Philadelphia, suc ceeded in defeating him. Most of the Philadelphians followed the lead of Quay and Lane in voting for McManes, Disston, Jessup, Kimberly, Emery and Milliken, and all of these candidates were elected except Milliken. The other BUCceßßful man waa Sena tor Lee. There ia no question an to the earnestneas of any of these dele gates in support of the candidacy of Mr. Jilaine. There waa less trouble in the choice of the electors at large, although for a few minutes a long struggle seemed in evitable. Major Pomeroy, of Frank lio, had presented a resolution declar ing for Calvin Wells, of Allegheny, John Leisenring, of Carbon, and Ceo. Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland. Col. Hnowden sprang to his feet at once with a stirring speech placing James Dobson, of Philadelphia, in nomination. The name was received with much ap plause, and it became evident that somebody placed in the field by the Pomeroy resolution would have to make room for the Dobson boom. The victim proved to be General Todd. 11 in name was struck out, Dobson'a insert ed, and with a whirl, unanimously and by acclamation, Wells, Dobson and Leisenring were elected. KKA''HIN<! THE ENI» The work of the Convention was fin ished, considerably after midnight, with the nomination of General Osborne for congressman-at-large on the third bal lot. The attendance dwindled rapidly towards the last, aud between the lead ing candidates, Gen. Osborue and Gen. Lilly, the question was simply as to whose delegates whould have the most staying power. Altogether it was a long and tire some Convention, but there was much less friction than might have been ex pected, and the chief results give gen eral satisfaction. THE selection by our delegateß of I'octor Pillow of this place, to repre sent this county on the Htate Central Committee, gives very general satisfac tion. It was an excellent choice and no hotter could be made. Dr. Pillow, as the member for this county on the State Committee, will be an efficient one in the important campaign before US. COMMUNICATIONS. A High Handed Outrage--Re moving a Ballot Box. EDS. CITIZEN:—NO doubt YOU have heard of the outrage perpetrated upon the Republican voters of the 2d ward of Butler borough, by the "bosses" of the Greer-Robinson ring, through a cats paw called Howard Colbert. t»>r the benefit OF every honest man in the COUDTV I will atate what it was. At the election held on the sth of April to elect delegates to the State and Na tion Conventions, the election board of the 2d ward was composed of Capt. Samuel Walker acting as Judge, and G. C. Pillow and Howard Colbert act ing as clerks After the vote had been counted, it was agreed upon by the Judge and clerks, in the presence of Alfred Wick, at whose hotel the eiection was held, that the ballot box should be left in care of Mr. Wick, and should not be de livered bv him unless at least TWO of the board should call for it. On Tues day morning, Sth inst., Howard Col bert, one of the election board, without consulting either of the other members, (and knowing that Mr. Wick was awav from homej and with his usually pompous, contemptible, and cynical manner walked into the Wick House and asked Mrs. Wick for his box—de scribingjit to her— ick not know ing it was the ballot box he wanted handed him the box described, and Colbert put it under his arm and went directly to John Greer's office with it. From that time to this it has not been seen by any person except the select few of the "Greer-Robinson riDg." No doubt the cats-paw in this nefarious transaction was ordered to do what he did by the "bosses" of the ring, and he obeyed the command like a faithful subaltron, "thinking todo God service." The clerks at said election both had a list of voters with a number to each name to correspond with the number marked or the ballot when voted, and there is DO doubt but that the bosses know how every republican in the 2nd ward voted on the sth inst. The list of names kept by Pillow was inclosed in envelope with the tally sheet and sent into the convention, hut the list written by Colbert was put in the ballot box and the box was then nailed bhut and handed to Mr. Wick. Capt, Walker met Colbert on the street on Friday the 11th and said to him ,"let UK jo io the Wick House and (jet the ballot Itor and burn the ballot); " Col bert answered: "1 did burn t l jem." '"I was passing there and fearing some one might *ake it and open it, I got it and burned the ballots." He may have burn ed the contents of the box after the votes and list of voters had beencompared that the bosses might know how every man voted in tbe 2nd ward. We have all read of the way the ballot box is stuff ed in some of the Southern States, but this act of Colbert's was a a outrage that throws all ballot box removing into the shade, and has not been equalled since '74 when this same select .crowd counted out honest votes, cast by hon est men who dared to vote as they thought, and that too, despite the fact that the lash wan applied unmercifully, that honest men might be compelled to vote for a corrupt and dishonest can didate, aud that supplemented with the free use of whiskey from Harvey's distillery, and the corrupt and dishon est use made of the money belonging to tho depositors of the now defunct National Rank. Thisyearthe "bosses" have neither distillery or National Rank to fall back on for a campaign fund, and they reach their hands into the County Treasury and take out the money placed there by the tax payers of Rutler county, and use it to accom plish the purposes of the Greer-Robin son ring I wonder if Howard Col bert's preceptor advised him that he fColbert) would not be violating the law for the governing of primary elec tions, passed the 29th day of June 1881. In the name of every honest man in Rutler county I protest against this high bawled outrage, and ask that it be , inquired into. A VOTER. Since the above was in type we re ceived the following from Mr. Coibert. The two papers will explain themselves. TO THE PUBLIC. Having been maligned and slandered to a great degree with reference to the destruction of the ballots of the 2nd Ward of the borough of Rutler, voted at the late Republican Primary Flec tion, without the least foundation, and I might say maliciously, now in order to set myself, as well as others who have unjustly been brought into con nection with the mutter, right before the public, and in the interest of truth, and right , I submit herewith the affi davit of the true facts of the case. W. HOWARD COLBERT. STATE or PENN'A, > Co or BUTLER. > '' Before me the subscriber personally came W. Howard Colbert who being by me duly sworn according to law deposes and say*: That he was one of the board for holding the Republican primary election for choosing delegates to the State and National Conventions, in the 2nd Ward in the borough of Rutler, which election was held on the Sth day of April last. That he was sworn to perform his duties as wore the other members, in accordance with the act of assembly in such cases made and provided That after the ballots were counted, tajly sheets and certificates made, the ballots still remaining on the table, he suggested that something ought to be done with them, in order to preserve them until after the Con vention inet, on the following Monday. Following his suggestion the ballots were put in a cigar box and the box fastened by him, and at his suggestion and by him, they were given to Mr. Wick, the proprietor of the Wi< k , House, where the election was held, with the request to .Mr. Wick that they be kept until they were called for to he : destroyed. Capt. Walker, one of the board, at affiant's suggestion was to 1 meet him after the Convention at the! Wick House and destroy the ballots. He was not met by arjy of th<- board, arid was not spoken to on the subject, until about dark of the evening of Fri day or Saturday following the Conven tion,when he immediately informed Capt. Walker that he had destroyed the bal lots himself—no one else coming. On the first or second day after tho Con vention, affiant, as an officer, of the Flection Board, acting under his oath, called at the Wick House, arid standing in the door-way of the dining room, and in tin: presence of a number of the boarders of the Wick House, including S. R. Snyder and A. M Cunningham, and i/tihonl inittrrpreteiilnhoii* and in no secret manner, nor desiring in any way to conceal the fact of get ting them, he received the cigar box containing the ballots from Mrs Wick, who gave them to him in presence of all in the room. He took the cigar box and burned it and the ballots, intact, in the stove in his office. Not a ballot was disturbed or examined by affiaut, nor was the box or a ballot seen or handled by any person whatsoever, after he received it from the hands of Mrs. Wick. W. HOWARD COLBERT. [SEAL ] Sworn and subscribed before me this 21st day of April, A. D. 1884. ANDREW G WILLIAMS, Notarv Public In the above it will be noticed that Mr. C-. 1 > rt 1 a- admitted that two of the board, himself and Captaiu Walker, the judge of tie election board, were to meet to destroy the ballots, etc., and then he further admits that he went and done that work himself, without calling upon Captain Walker to go with him. The anxiety of Mr. C. about those bal lots is somewhat remarkable. A Card EDS. CIT.ZE.N: —My attention has just been called to a statement by Thomas Iloibnson in last week's issue of the Eagle in regard to Mr. Harding's appli cation for licence in Concord twp., and his connection therewith. Whether Mr. Robinson was attor uev for Mr. Harding or not I do not know, but I do know that while the license Court was being held, or proba bly a few days before, I was spoken to by Mr, Robinson in regard to Mr. Harding's application. Mr. Robinson informed me tbat Mr. Harding was married to a Chri.-tley, of Centreville, that he, Robinson, was very friendly to that family and w as anxious to have Mr. Harding succeed in getting license at Troutman. I suggested to him that he mark bis name with mine for the apolication. This he declined doing, but said he would speak or had spoken to Judge Weir on the subject and that Weir was or would be in fa vor of the license, and that he was sat isfied that if Judge McJunkin did not oppose the licence it would be granted. CLARENCE WALKER. April 21, 'B4. THAT "'a Judgeship should seek the man and not the man the office," is a wise saying that all good citizens un derstand the value of and importance. A candidate for most all other offices may personally solicit and button-hole the citizen for his vote, but when it comes to the high office of a Judge, a position requiring legal learning, ex perience and full competency, then it is regarded as indelicate and out of place for a man to say, "I want you to vote for me for Judge." And when this is done, the voter naturally inquires of himself, "is the applicant fit ?" "Is he the fittest candidate offering!'" And if not and I vote for him, "may 1 not be doing a wrong to myself and the pub lic, whose interest it is to have upon our Benck. the best legal learning we can obtain THE proceedings of State Convention as a whole were responsive to the de mands of public opinion. A few of the old time m chine bosses happened to get into the convention, and there was perhaps a little too much of a disposi tion shown to hufnor them, in order to have as much unity of action as possi ble. It was the first StatejConvention, however, for years past that was not ruled by a State ring, and the election of Delegates by the |>eople will soon wipe away any vestige of machine work in Pennsylvania. THE Delegates from this county to the State Convention, Messrs. Harley, Barr and Brandon, took an active part in the same and their votes are generally satisfactory. Mr. Harley particularly distinguished himself, in the early proceedings of the ronvention, by moving for instructions for Bluine and Lincoln. His motion wascarried by 200 yeas to only '.'A nays. Some, we see, are criticising what they term his hasty or out of order motion, but, all things considered, we cannot Bay what the motion was needed just at the time it was made. The only part of his remarks made that perhaps might be subject to criticism, was his mention of the name of Simon Cameron as ap proving of the motion he made. The people having spoken, and instructed their delegates, the wishes or opinions of any one single man in the State could and would have made but little impression upon that Convention. MAJ. R. J. PIUPPH, of Venango Co., was in town this week on business. He was a member of the Republican State Convention last week and informed us that one of his votes in the s«ine was not correctly reported. He was pub lished as voting for the minority re port of the committee on the contested case for seats in the convention from Pittsburgh, whereas in fact be voted for the majority report to admit the Blaine delegates. From all we can learn of the vote on that case we be lieve that the majority report of the committee was really adopted, or would have been so had the matter been un derstood a little better in the converi- Since writing the above Mr. Harley, of Petrolia, the Senatorial delegate from this county in the convention, also called at our office ou Monday last, and says that ho is mis printed on the same question and vote, and that he voted for the majority report of the committee on the contested scat case from Pittsburgh to admit the Blaine contestants. Mr Barr, another of our delegates, was also in town on last Monday and paid us a pleasant visit Mr. Barr voted for tin- minority report, admitting the anti-Blaine delegates from Pitts burgh into the convention. lYnnieri. l/tou\ to h*- 11 IjthU-r'n SUiMlnrl I •• rtili- W:rH, for l«rif»H AIL'JRUI*, VVM.
