The ticket nominated at the Repub lican primaries of this county last Sat urday, and so declared by the County Conversion on Monday last, will be found at the head of our paper this week. With the single exception of the nominee for Judge we believe the candidates chosen all give general sat isfaction. They are well distributed over the different sections of the county. Most of them are well known and wor thy citizens and we believe fully com petent to fill the county offices for which they have been chosen. At a future time we will give a more partic ular account of each successful one. Many good candidates had to be disap pointed, but this must always be the case from the very nature of the con test. As to the result on Judge, it is use less to conceal that it is unexpected and will be regretted by many. Had the people been allowed to exercise their own calm judgment on the competency of the two candidates we believe the re sult would have been different. But it again proves what personal effort and work will accomplish. Mr. Greer made a personal and extensive canvass of the county, soliciting votes. Judge Mc- Junkin could not do that, consistently with his views of the dignity of the office. And in fact it was believed that it was degrading the position and would be detrimental to the interest of any candidate doing so. But the re sult shows that there were many who did not consider it in that view Among these doubtless were many young voters whose support Mr. Greer generally received. Of the older citi zens, the farmers of the county, there is no doubt Judge McJunkin received a majority. Then again, there is no sentiment prevailing stronger in this county than that known as the "one term principle." This had a marked affect on the Judge question. Other causes might be enumerated but it is seedless at present. If a mistake has been made the people, who are deeply interested in having good Judges, will eorrect the same when the proper time comes. For several years past in this State it has been manifested that party ties do not and will not bind either jjarty to a candidate for judicial honors. Republicans have been elected in Dem aratic districts and Democrats in Re publican districts. This was in the ef <brt to get the best men for Judges and to uphold the character of that high -trust. What all good citizens want, end need, in this office is honesty and legal learning,and these they generally manage to secure. It would be and the time will come, when the selec tion of Judges will be removed from mere partizan nominations. At every succeeding election it is being demon- Btrated that party nominations are but degrading the nature and usefulness of an office that all are interested in more •s citizens than as partisans. T HERE were more votes in some dis tricts at the primary last Saturday than had ever been cast at any Republican •lection heretofore. As high as fifty votes more were cast in several places. We may enumerate some of these plrces in our next issue. JUDGE MCJCNKIN received a majority of the votes of his fellow citizens at his home in this place, thus showing the opinion his neighbors still retain of him and the slanders against him.

The districts were then called and the vote tabulated aB handed in, which work occupied the entire time of the convention to 7 o'clock that evening, excepting a few minutes of the after noon, during which the following reso lutions prepared by the committee were read, and adopted as a whole, by the Convention, without dissent. RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, Ist. That the best iuterests of the country and humanity require the continuance in power of the Republican party of the Na tion. 2d, That the various industries of the coun try including the manufacturing interests of our own Slate, should be protected against foreign competition so far as it reasonably can be in the adjustment of the tariff and by the fostering care of the government, to the end that labor may be liberally rewarded aud the comforts of home life secured to the most hum ble citizen. 3d, That our free school system is the surest and safest method of imparting knowl edge to the rising generation, and should be liberally supported by both State and National aid. 4th, That we look with confidence te the Convention, which meets next week, with a lively hope that James G. Blaine may be se lected as our standard bearer, in the coming National contest, with Robert T. Lincoln as his associate on the ticket. believing that such a ticket would receive a hearty support from this county in November, but at the same time, the republicans of this county will yield a hearty support to whatever ticket the wisdom of the convention may select. FIFTH. That we do most heartily recom mend to the members of our Legislature upon whom will fall the duty of electing a successor to the Hon. J. D. Cameron, the name of that noble and true soldier and patriot, Gen. Jas. A. Beaver, as a man in every way qualified to fill the position with honor to himself and credit to our Commonwealth. SIXTH. That we endorse the administration of our President, C. A. Arthur, as wise, prudent and patriotic, and that coming into power through the natioual calamity of the death of President Garfield, the nation's pride, he has had many oppositions to overcome and preju dices to allay, yet he has won the confidence and admiration of the people as a man of pure intentions and firmness of character so as to make his administration popular and the coun try prosperous. SevENTH. That in our nominee for Judge, the Hon. J. M. Greer, we present to the voters of this Judicial district a gentlemau already well and favorably known to our people and one, in every way, well qualified for the respon sible position with his name is associated. EIGHTH, That iu our nominee for Congresv, Capt. Geo. W, Fleeger, we have a candidate worthy of the support of the people of the whole district, a patriot tried and true, and one in whom there is no guile. That without dis paraging the merits of any of the gentlemen whose names will come before the District Conference, we claim for our county and our candidate a favorable recognition at this time, believing that all will finally concede our equi table claims for present recognition. NINTH. That in presenting the name of the Hon. A. L. Campbell to the Senatorial Con ference of this district, we offer a fellow citizen for that nomination, who has already earned the confidence of our people, by honorable service in the legislature of this State, where he distinguished himself as a true representa tive of the laboring classes of this section of the State, with whose interests he was so well acquainted. We ask for him a favorable con sideration of the Conference. TENTH. That the County ticket this day put in nomination is worthy of the entire sup port of the Party, and we anticipate for it a triumphant election, and we, the delegates of this Convention, pledge ourselves to use all honorable means to secure the election of the entire ticket, this day nominated. ELEVENTH. That the nominee forjudge, Congress aud State Senate, be, and each is, hereby authorized to appoint his own Confer ees. DR. W. L. DEWOLFE, Chrm'n. R. I. BOOGS, I. C. MCNEKS, DR. J. B.

In 1880, at the Presidential election, the Garfield electors had 144 votes. In 18S2 the combined Republican vote on Governor was 104. Last year, 1883, the Republican vote on State ticket was but 81 Last Saturday at the primary the vote on Judge is swelled to 243, of which Greer 201 and McJun kin 32. People can draw their own conclusions. But, it is said, there is a large mining vote there. This may be true, but we venture the prediction that the fall election will show there are not 234 Republican voters in Cher ry township. JUDGE BLAIR, of Indiana county, Pa., has been defeated for the Republi can nomination for Judge of that coun ty. Judge Blair also paid the penalty ' of not being a politician. His case is somewhat similar to that of Judge Mc- Junkin of this county. A good Judge he attended to his duties on the Bench and refused to go out electioneering among the people, and the result is he is defeated. MR. WM. BREDIN, son of Judge Bre din, who has been living in Oregon for 6 year or two past, is at home here at present. Mr Edward Bredin, Jr., who has been out iu Arizjna Territory for some time past, is at home here at pres ent on a visit to his friends- Mr. John P. Bredin, his brother, now doing busi ness in Oil City, is also at home at present. THE editor of the Sandy Lake News, who is a clergyman, and therefore, good authority, says : "Prompt pay ment of subscription to your home pa per is one of the best modern tests of Christian character. THE Primary vote in detail will be given in a table form next week. The clerks did not get through with the count until yesterday near noon. We will have it entirely correct next week. THE Republicans of Allegheny coun tv have nominated the Hons. Thomas M. Bayne and James S. Negley for Congress. POLITICIANS appear to be coming to front for Judicial nominations. A bad feature for the lair administration of the law. THE Penn Bank, of Pittsburgh, sus pended last week. An effort was made to revive it, which however failed. THE Crawford county Democrats have nominated John L. McKinney, a largo oil operator, for Congress. For the totals for the different can didates see in another place^ The Real Issue at Chicago. James G. Blaine is the choice of the overwhluiiug majority of Republican voters in this State and in the Union. Nobody questioned this of Pennsyl vania two months ago, but there was doubt whether the State Convention would echo the will of the voters. It did, and the Pennsylvania delegation to a National Republican Convention for the first time iu eight years will ex press the choice of the Republican voters of the State. Nobody doubts to-day but that the great mass of Republican voters all over the land is for Jamts G. Blaine. No one challenges this fact, no one questions it. It is admitted by impli cation and inference in papers opposed i to his candidacy as clearly as it is di i rectly affirmed and asserted in papers which are supporting him. The only doubt to-day is not of the will of the people, but of the voice of the National Convention. The National Convention can disre i gard the choice of Republican voters 1 .only by disregarding the great Repub lican States. are for James G. ' Blaine. The million Republican voters in Xew York and Pennsylvania are for him. Republican States like lowa and Kansas, whose vote has always been Republican and whose first choice has been Blaine for eijrbt years past, sup ' port him.- In any national convention i'i which Republican votes and conven tion representation went together, Blaine would be nominated on the first billot. By the most unfriendly reckon . ing in anv such convention he would not already lack a score of votes of a J majority Carve out of the Republi ! can party the supporters of James G. | Blaine, end wbat would be left? Wall ' Street and its business men, with the ! machine which manages politics on j Manhattan Island; a fraction of Xew ! England, sincere, but misguided; a ! share of Southern Republicans, zealous, but powerless, and, last of all, the local following which state pride, personal influence, high attainments and a good record summon to John Sherman, John A Logan and others. The rest, the core and heart of the Republican par ty, its voters and its enthusiasm, are all for Blaine, from California, to Maine. This, then, is the one issue at Chica go—shall the will of the people be the will of the Convention ? The struggle has ceased to be a question of candi dates. The cause of Blaine has been the cause of the Republican masses. They are for him; will the National Republican Convention be for them? r i he signs multiply and grow strong that the Convention will answer this question as the votes and con ventions of the Bepublican states have—by nominating James G. Blaine.— Philadelphia Press. T. J. Porter, a recent graduate of the Western Theological Seminary, and son of R. M. Porter of New Wil mington, it is said will soon go to Per sia to labor under the care of the Board of Foreign Missions. Death of James M. Bredin. James M. Bredin, Esq., a prominent member of the Frarklin bar, who was well known by many Mercer people, was found dead in his bed Saturday morning The physician pronounced the cause apoplexy. He was about the streets as usual on Friday and took a lively interest in"the trial of a suit in court that day. Deceased was born in Butler, Pa., in 1828, He studied law in the office of Gen. Purviance, of Butler, and was admitted to the bar in that county. He was admitted to prac tice in Venango county in 18G4 and removed to Franklin in 1865, where he has since resided. The News of that city says of him: "Maj. Bredin's great energy found action in many business enterprises. He was the projector of the Shenango aud Allegheny railroad, and was the original lesee of the coal lands along the line of that road, lie also engaged largely in oil production. He put down" the first well in the field at Bredinsburgh, which place is named after him. Personally, he was a man of genial and cheerful disposition, whole-souled, without concealments, and of strong conyictions. He was an unqualified Republican in Politics, aud in religion was a sincere aud con sistent adherent of theEpiscopalchurch. About ten years ago he married Mrs. Ruth K. Elliot, daughter of Col. James Kinuear, whodied July 1, 1880. They had no children."— Mercer Bepubli can. —The city of Corry has appropria ted SI,BOO to maintain a paid police force of three men, one for day time arid two at night, at SSO per month.
