The Ticket.
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.

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

ONE single instance of the largely
increased votes at the late primary is
afforded in the case of Cherry township.
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.

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

GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES OF BOOTS AND SHOES
T
JOHN BICKEL'S, BUTLER, PA.
Having bought an unusually large stock of Boots and Shoes when Kast last February, I find an extra effort must
be made to push them, on account of the lateness of the Si ring. 1 therefore announce to the readers of the Citizen
that I will have a
lEBTMFTCE SALEI
OF HOOTS AM ) SHOES,
For CO days, to reduce my spring stock. Most dealers wait till their customers have bought their spring wear then
they reduce their prices, but I propose to CUT THE PRICES WHEN YOU NEED GOODS. My stock this
spring is much larger than ever before, and prices very low. lam positive that I can save you 25 per cent, on your
Boots and Shoes, and give you better goods than any other house in Butler.
I MEAN WHAT I SAY WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I WILL SELL
A Solid Kip, Hand-Made Plow Shoe, Two Buckles, at 03 Cents.
We do not advertise anything we have not got, and when customers ask for them tell them that we "are just out."
This kind of business won't do me. It may do with mv compeJtors who are hungry for trade and wili stop at noth
ng for a little spoil. Come and see me, and you will find things just as advertised,
GOOD, HONEST BOOTS &ND SHOES AT VERY LOW PRICES.
My stock of Ladies', Misses' and Children's Shoes is very nice this spring and prices lower than ever before—No
old shop-worn goods in my stock that has been handled ten or twelve years, and put up in fancy boxes to palm off on
the public as fresh, new goods. My stock is all fresh and new, as ali goods are made to my own order, aud every
pair warranted. My stock of
Boots and Shoes for Men and Boys.
Was never better, as I control some of the best lines of Jgoods in the country. Give me a call when in need of Boots
or Shoes and I will saye you big money. A full line^'of
English Wankenphaust Shoes,
For both ladies' and Gentlemen's wear. Try a pair for solid comfort. Base Ball Shoes for men and boys.
BOOTS AND SHOES MADE TO ORDER.
My manufacturing department is under my own charge, and none but first-class workmen employed.

uance of same, I remain yours respectfully,
