Look Out! For Last Card !
It is reported that the Eagle of this
place will this week contain a card,
with perhaps an affidavit, from a man
named Elliott, who some years ago
kept a hotel in Karns City. The ob
ject of this, it is Baid, will be to show
some improper action in the Court in
granting this man Elliott a license at
the time. Now we do not know any
thing about the man or the matter.
But this we do know, and this we have
to say: first, that counter affidavits are
prepared to meet this man's story as
Boon as it appears; and second, if any
such affidavit had appeared from him in
last week's Eagle, or in any other pa
perofthe county, these counteraffidavits
are ready and would have appeared in
answer this week, or before this time.
The eaid affidavit, if such there is in
existaace, is reported to have been in
the possession of the Eagle, or the per
sons controlling it, for some time past.
Why has it not appeared ? Simply
because it is held back with the view
of preventing any time for its refuta
tion and exposure. So the Republican
voters of the county, and all others, can
judge from that what credit they should
give this Elliott story in case it is pub
lished in the Eagle of this week. At
the heels of a primary, or election,
trickey and designing men always keep
back what they know can be explained
and refuted until they think it is too
late to do so. They suppose the peo
ple can in this way be deceived. But
what a great mistake !
Since writing the above the follow
ing warning to the voters has been
handed us for publication :
In the matter of the application of A. J.
Elliott of Rams City for tavern
license.
To the Editors of the Citizen :
An affidavit purporting to be made
by A. J. Elliott, insinuating that Judge
McJunkin was concerned In the grant
ing of his license after it had been re
fused, is being circulated by one or
more of John M. Greer's adherents.
The facts are as follows : W. H. H.
Riddle presented Elliott's application
for license and the Court, composed of
Judges McJunkin, Marshall and Feid
ler, refused it. Elliott then saw one of
the undersigned, Ferd Reiber, and ask
ed him to take hold of it and have it
reconsidered, and after having repeat
edly refused to take charge of the mat
ter, until Elliott cried and urged the
necessities of bis family, we agreed to
do for him what we could. The recon
sideration was effected through and by
application to Judge Marshall, one of
the Associates. No appeal was made
to Judge McJunkin nor did he have
anything to do with it. If it is meant
that Judge McJunkin received any part
of the fees paid by Elliott the insinua
tion is absolutely false in every particu
lar. We are both informed also, upon
good authority, that when Elliott made
his affidavit if not suffering from de
lirium tremens, he was on the verge
of it. FEKD REIBER.

JAMES M. BREDIN, ESQ., died at bis
residence in Franklin, Pa., on last Fri
day night. Maj. Bredin was born
and raised in this place and removed
to Franklin some years ago, where be
became actively engaged in business.
When in this county he was engaged in
railroad and other enterprises. Some
three or four years ago he was strick
en with paralysis in some of bis limbs,
since which he has been an invalid and
from the effects of which we learn he
was finally taken off. He was a man
of great energy and decision of char
acter, of genial and cheerful disposition,
and a true and warm hearted friend. He
had many acquaintances and friends in
this county all of whom will regret to
learn of his demise. He was born in
1828 and was therefore 50 years of age
REV. LONDON, the new pastor of the
Episcopal Church of this place, has ta

atrcfrt.
This Judicial District.
A friend has requested a statement
of the make-up of this judicial district.
This is in connection with the Judges
to elect in the same, aud the number,
and how and where they can be elec
ted from, etc. We answer as follows :
Ten years ago, 1874, the district, 17th,
was composed of the counties of Butler
and Lawrence, each being a component
part of the district a3 such. The only
change made in this byjthe Legislature,
at last session, was the making of But
ler county alone the 17th Judicial dis
trict, "to which the county of Lawrence
is hereby attached for Judicial purpos
es." The present law, like the old one,
provides that the district shall still re
tain and elect two Judges. But it
adds, "that one of said Judges, the
additional Law Jndge, shall reside 1n
the town of New Castle in the county
of Lawrence." And it further pro
vides that Lawrence shall have the
right to participate in the election of
said two Judges. So that in effect,
and,in fact,the two Judges maybe elect
ed from citizens of either county But
if both should again be elected from
Butler Co., one of them,'the additional
Law Judge, would have to remove to
and reside Castle, Lawrence
county. And if both should be elected
from Lawrence county, one,we suppose,
would have to remove to and reside in
this county. But this case is hardly a
supposable one at present. Both
counties, however, participate in the
election of the two Judges. And the
practice is for the political parties, Re
publican and Democratic,both to nomi
nate, one generally taken by each par.
Tv for each county. This would
make four candidates running for the
two offices. But ten years ago there
were live, two in Lawrence and three
in this county. The desire we believe
of both parties is to give Lawrence one
of the candidates at present. If two
new ones wonld be elected they would
have, under the law, to as to
which would be the President Judge
of the district. But if Judge McJun
kin should be re-elected, be will, under
the law, be his own successor and con
tinue as President Judge of the district,
without any casting of lots, and with
out any other formality or trouble in
the matter.
A Letter to Judge McJunkin.
At the extra Session of the Legisla
ture, about the first of August last, the
bill passed fixing the Judicial Districts
of the State. It then became known
what district this county was to be, and
the number of Judges to elect, and so
forth. A discussion naturally follow
ed among the members of our Bar as
to probable candidates, their merits, etc.
This was at a time when all were cool
and quiet and could look at the judicial
merits of lawyers and judges dispassion
ately. The result of the different con
versations among the attorneys of our
Bar resulted in two letters be
ing addressed to Judge McJunkin and
signed by 38 members of the Bar,about
two-thirds of the same. Notably
among the number were Gen. John N.
Purviance, Col. John M. Thompson
and W. D. Brandon, Esq. The follow
ing is a copy of the letter addressed
him by the Republican members, 26 in
number, which explains and speaks for
itself:
BUTLER, PA., August 13, 1883.
"Hon. E. McJunkin, President Judge:
—The undersigned Republican mem
bers of the Butler Bar respectfully re
quest you to permit your name to be
used as a candidate for President Judge
of this district. That you should be
your own successor in the office you
have so acceptably filled for the last
nine years, we feel satisfied is the gen
eral sentiment of the people of the dis
trict. Impartiality and ability have
conspicuously characterized your pres
ent Judicial term, and in accordance
with general usage as adopted iq other
Judicial Districts, to re-elect where fit
ness and integrity exist, we see no rea
son for a departure from the rule in
your case. We earnestly solicit your
consent to be a candidate."
This letter we believe was intended
as a private one for Judge McJunkin.
It is published now to refute some
of the charges made against him. It
will be observed that his "impartiality
and ability" on the Bench are distinct
ly set forth in this letter. Some per
sons interested in another candidate,
affect to deny them now. But what
other candidate for Judge has had such
a letter addressed to him ? lias John
M. Greer had such a letter addressed
him ? If so, by whom ?
JUDGE MCJUNK.N is gaining strength
every day and will be triumphantly
nominated on Saturday.
THERE has been but one withdrawa
of candidates during this primary, and
we presume that is all there will be.
THERE is no Judge in the State who
has done more work within the last ten
years than has Judge McJunkin. Nor
has he ever missed by sickness or other
wise one day of the weeks of the Courts
held by him, whilst the business of the
same held out.
WE had several requests to republish
whc.t is known as the "Cow Speech,"
of Hon. \John M. Greer, made ia the
State Senate about this time a year ago-
Want ofspace prevents giving it to the
public now. It was the speech he made
against the widow's and the poor man's
cow, ridiculing them, etc.
WIIO are the two best men to nomin
ate for County Commissioners? is a
question asked frequently now by our
Republican voters. It is an important
question just now. A number of good
men are announced as candidates from
which it is hoped good selections can l>e
made.

Judgeship Points
EDITORS CITIZEN :
Who shall be Judge? Who will ser/e
•the people the best? Let no voter be
deceived.
Mr. Greer has held office eleven
years.
Judge McJunkin but a few years
longer, 13 years
Does "second term argument" apply
to Judge McJunkin when opposed by
Mr. Greer, or to a Judgeship?
When Judge McJunkin was the age
of Mr. Greer the only office he had held
was District Attorney, a short time,
when the office was not elective.
As remarked by one of the oldest and
best lawyers here a few days ago, "an
insolvent man should be ashamed to
ask a Judgeship. To have no money
is no disgrace, but to have or to have
lost other jteople's money is another
and very different thing."
The neighborhoods of West Sunbury
and Fairview, where they have had the
luxury of broken banks, should take
warning. A word to the wise is suffi
cient.
Mr. Greer is the candidate of C'has.
McC'andless and Thos. Robinson chief
ly, and if so whose Judge will he be if
nominated and elected ? If the politi
cal associations of Mr. Greer were gen
erally known throughout the county,
the respectable element of his suppor
ters would leave him quick as rats leave
a sinking ship. A leaf from his public
life:—He had the Senate pass a judicial
apportionment bill attaching Lawrence
county to Butler when the Constitution
which he swore to obey said that But
ler county ought to be a separate Ju
dicial District without attachment.
At the instance of the meu who for
years opposed Judge McJunkin, for
reasons which the Judge so correctly
sets forth in his letter to the people
he (Greer) had passed in the Senate a
bill legislating Judge McJunkin out of
his native county, but Gov. Hoyt was
so struck with its monstrous provisions
that be vetoed the iniquity. No thanks
to Mr. Greer, however, be did what he
could for it. If a man at the instance of
politicians by trade forgets his duty and
his oath in the Senate what may he
not do if elected Judge ?
Last August, when the letter ad
dressed to Judge McJunkin was being
signed, the Eagle in its haste and in
order to keep members of the Bar from
signing the letters, without authority
from the attorneys, published a list of
members of the Bar who had not, as it
alleged, signed the letters, but omitted
to state that some of the names therein
published were on the letters to Judge
McJunkin and others were candidates
and for this and other reasons had not
been requested by the friends of Judge
McJunkin to sign. The Eagle has
failed to show who would sign for Mr.
Greer. The list would be interesting
for many reasons.
A Call to Prayer,
Has been issued by the National Wom
an's Christian Temperance Union, in
view of the pending Presidential Con
ventions and Campaign. Tuesday,
May 27, is named as thedavof prayer,
and all local Unions urged to observe
this date. The call is signed by Pran

Primary Rules.
.We this week again publish the LAW
governing our primary election?, which
will guide in the organization of the
beards. As to the RULES passed at dif
ferent county Committee meetings, we
are unable to reproduce all ot them at
present. But the following are the
principal ones:
First, the voter must vote in his own
township, borough or ward. Second,
no proxy voting is allowed or proxy
votes to be received. Third, none but
Republican votes should be received.
In regard to this latter rule, a question
sometime arises as to who are Repub
licans. But the general rule is, that if
a man is now a Republican, and in
tends to vote the Republican ticket at
the fall election, that he has a right to
vote at the primary, although he may
not have been voting with the party at
all times previous. Some times Re
publicans leave the party on some issue
or other at a certain election, but the
next year they are back agaiu to where
they were as Republicans. In all such
cases the practice has been to receive
their votes at the primary, on their dec
laration to that effect, just as the vote
of a young man, not of age at the time
ol the primary, but who will be by the
fall election, is received on the declara
tion of his Republican faith and inten
tions. All these questions are in the
hands of-the boards holding the elec
tions, and if in any case a board acts
unfairly, or improperly, the proper
course for the voters to pursue is to
get up and sign and send a petition or
remonstrance, as the case may be, to
the county Convention on the subject.
LOOK out for all manner of ''ltoor
backs" iu tbe Eat/le of this week.
Ow.NA to the demand upon our col
umns for matter connected with the
near Republican primary election we
are compelled to omit this week several
communications and other matter.
A CERTAIN Christian left his church
here last Sunday week and went down
to another church in Buffalo twp., and
dealt out J. M.Greer's tickets both before
and after the church services on said
Sund&y.
BY a motion passed at tbe last meet
ing of the Republican County Commit
tee, tbe present Committee man in each
twp , and borough was authorized to
organize the board at the coining pri
mary on May 24.
JOHN M. GREER has been eleven
years in office, although yet a young
man. He held the_office of District At
torney for three years, worth then at
least SI,OOO a year, making $3,000.
Then eight years in the State Senate at
$1,500 per year, making salaries alone
■of same $12,000. Add to this the
extra amount received by him at and
for the late extra session, about $2,000,
and then add the different mileages for
the eight years, about SIOO per year,
and we have a total of $17,500.
WITH the exception of the falsehoods
circulated on the Judgeship question
the primary of this county has been
progressing smoothly up to this time,
so far as we know. We regret to hear,
however, that reports are.being circu
lated as to some candidates for other
offices. And this more][particularly as
to some of the Sheriff candidates. The
voter should make sure .to vote against
the candidate who decries any oue of
his competitors for the same office. And
all good citizens should be give
credence to eleventh hour reports, and
vote for candidates upon their own
merits, anil not upon their demerits as
represented by other interested parties.
This is a sale rule.
A Card
In answer to the lying scribblers in
last week's Eagle I have to say that I
decline to answer any one who is too
much of a coward to sign his name. I
made my statement over my signature.
They are true. No oue has had the
manhood to deny them and si>*n his

THE NATIONAL BANK.
Continued from first page
himself and these he gets the bank to
discount. He didn't own one dollar of
them. Colbert didn't owe hiui the
amount of his note, nor did Cochran.
But on the books of the bank Greer
would appear as the actual owner of
them at the time they were discounted.
There was a mis-statement, so far as
Greer was concerned, mude to the
stockholders and depositors, through
the officer who was appointed to look
after their interests.
The facts here given are true and ad
mitted to be true by Greer himself,
when on the witness stand and under
oath. No other conclusion can be
drawn from them than that all this in
debtedness exceeding one-tenth of the
stock was illegal.
The money represented by the Col
bert note was borrowed to speculate in
oil with. Greer says be didn't want to
borrow it, but McCandless persuaded
him and promised to keep him clear,
lie violated the law and endangered the
money of depositors, who had made
their investments in the bank under the
protection ot the shield of the national
banking law, not under compulsion but
of choice, yet he claims to be a man fit
to administer the law for the people of
this county. The man who urged him
to do this is his most earnest supporter
forjudge to-day. Is there any assur
ance that McCandless would not also
control him if he got on the Bench.
Since the payments were made upon
the Cochran judgment Greer has paid
no money to the bank, but when an ef
fort was made to secuie a portion of his
indebtedness he attempted to violate
hia contract by setting up the defense
of usury. This defense, Judge Ache
son of the United States District Court
decided would uot avail him.
A statement has been made at differ
ent times by the managers and debtors
of the bank that it would have pulled
through and paid in full if let be. Let
no one be deceived. The figures will
uot lie. Fiye years ago Mr. Cullum,
the first receiver, aided by some of the
best business men in Butler, appraised
the value of the bank's assets. He
then published a statement founded up
on his investigations, that the legiti
mate assets would pay about fifty per
cent, of the indebtedness. It has paid
seventy. How is the difference account
ed for? The answer is that it is more
than accounted for by assessments up
on stockholders and by litigation. Sol
vent stockholders have paid, after liti
gation, $8,500; without litigation over
$11,500; other litigation has realized
over $8,500. Total, $28,500. In other
word 3 almost thirty per cent, has been
paid out of assets not to be counted in
estimating the solvency or insolvency
of the bank. Iu fact it is worse than
that, for interest has been running all
this time upon the deposits and when
that interest is computed it will be
seen that the assets of the bank on hand
when it closed have paid very little if
any more than thirty per cent, of the
indebtedness. It is true that there is a
little money yet on hand, but not
enough to pay ten per cent, and that
will certainly be the limit unless the
directors can be compelled, at the end
of litigation now pending, to respond
for their negligent management. After
paying eighty per cent, to depositors
without interest, the loss occasioned by
the mismanagement of this bank will
foot up to over one hundred and eigh
teen thousand dollars, made up as fol
lows: Unpaid deposits, at 20 per cent.
$20,000; interests on deposits, at least,
$10,000; surplus $18,000; capital stock
$50,000; assessments on stock paid
$20,000. Total SIIB,OOO. The item
of surplus represents money earned by
the bank laid by to secure depositors
and for the benefit of stockholders.
This whole amount of SIIB,OOO has
been lost, swallowed up by the mis
management of this bank.

Withdrawal.
I-'EIXOW CITIZENS—
Thanking you all for the encouragement
that I have had, I do hereby announce that J
have withdrawn my name from being a candi
date, from Fairview township, for the office of
County Treasurer.
Respectfully yours,
JAMES J. CAMPBELL.

In The Pilot House.
"Yes, sir; this kind of work obliges a man to
keep sober as a judge. Of all men in the
world, steamboat pilots and railroad eugineera
should let liquor alone. For on their clear
ness of sight and coolness of head depend* the
safety of life and property."
Keeping his hand ou the wheel as he said
this, Mr. A. Brockman, of No. 29J Silver street,
Chscago, added : "Of course some of'em drink,
but the sober ones have tha best positions aud
the best pay. Yes, the work and ex|H>sure
sometimes tells on us; but for my part 1 find
PARKER'S TONIC to be all the inyigorator 1
need- I've got a bottle aboard here now; never
go on u trip without it. Wheu I havn't any
appetite, or am in any out sorts.it sets me up in
uo time, if drinking men would use the Tonic
it would help'em to break off. (No, that isn't
a light house; it's a star low down near the wa
ter.) As I was saying, the bottle is a new life
bottled up. You see that llag-staff ? Well, with
a bottle of Parker's Tonic in the locker I can
keep malaria as far from me as that, all the
time. My wife has used it for three years for
summer complaints and colic, and as an invig
oraut, when she's tired out from overwork.
She says the tonic is a daisy. Good-bye! Don't
break your tieck going below."
This preparation, which has been known as
PARKERS UINUER TONIC, will hereafter bu ad
vertised and sold simply under the name of
PARKERS Tonic, As unprincipled dealers are
constantly deceiving their customers by substi
futing inferior articles under the name of gin
ger, and as ginger is really an unimportant in
gredieut, we drop the misleading word.
There Is no change, however, In the preparation
