TH* Republican primaries in Law
rence and Beaver counties bave both
been fixed for April 14, the same date
as tbe primaries of this coonty. But
tbe Bearer primary is merely for tbe
election of delegates to tbe coming
State Convention and a later date
may be fixed for tbe election of Na
tional and Congressional delegates,
which will be determined by their
Committss 00 Saturday, 18th inst.
Simce tbe receipt of Blaine's letter
lbs Republicans of Pennsylvania are
looking towards Mr. George W.
Childs, of Philadelphia, as tbe best
mu for President. Mr. Childs is
distinguished for bis great business
enterprise,as well as bis great private
worth as a citizen. His many deeds
of charity and benevolence would
Bake him a strong candidate with tbe
people and Pennsylvania will likely
present him to tbe Convention.
OTIS in Laurence coonty there are
two candidates for Congress and two
for tbe State Benate nomination in
that Senate district, to-wit: Hon.
George W. McCrscken, editor of tbe
Guardian and E. 8. Durban, Esq,
editor of tbe Courant. Either Mr
Durban or Mr. McCrscken would
nab a good State Senator, and one
of them of conree will be nominated,
but both cannot be, as it is as diffi
cult to put two editors in one and
tbe same place as almost soy other
kind of men.
Election of Delegates.
At a meeting of the Republican
County Committee of Lawreoce Co,
held last Saturday, tbe subject of the
proper method of electing tbe Coo
giussional and National Delegates, in
this Congressional district, under the
mode, if ratified by Mercer County,
- name op for consideration- The Law
rsnce Committee took tbe same view
of the subject as thaC generally taken
In this Coanty. Tney decided that
in each snb district, as laid out by
tbe County Committee, there should
bo two delegates elected, one to ac'
in tbe district Congressional delegate
Convention and one to act in tbe dis
trict National delegate Contention
In other word#, that there should be
000 separate delegate for each of those
matters, aud that they should be kept
toparata and distinct from tbe other.
There are good reasons why tbe same
delegate should not be required to
nerve io both said district Conven
tions. There would be a temptation
to trading if one deUga'e served in
botb,tbat will not be if separate dele
gates are eboeen for each Convention.
Each eub district in this aud tbe other
eonaties of tbe district, if tbe new
mode is approved by Mercer County,
will therefore (on April 14, in this
eoonty) select two delegates, one as a
Congressional aad ooe as a National
delegate, and instract them for the
candidates of their choice for those
positions.
Means What He Says.
The letter of Hon. .Fames Q. Blaine

BLAINE SPEAKS.
He Withdraws from the List of
Presidential Candidates.
Mr. B F. Jones, Chairman of the
National Republican Committee, has
received a letter trom Mr. Blaine de
clining to allow hw name to be pre
sented to the National Republican
Convention as a candidate for the
presidential nomination.
The following is Mr. Blaine's let
ter in foil:—
FLORENCE, ITALY, Jan, 25,1888
B F. Jones. E-q , Chairman of the
Republican National Committee:
6ir__l wish through you to state
to the members of the Republican
Party that my name will not be pre
sented to the" National Convention
called to assemble in Chicago in June
next for the nomination of candidates
for President and Vice President of
the United States.
I am constrained to this decision
bv considerations entirely personal to
myself, of which you were advised
more than a year ago. But I cannot
make the aanouacemcnt without giv
ing expression to my deep sense or
gratitude to the many thousands of
my countrymen who have sustaioed
me so long and so cordially that tbeir
teelinif has seemed to go beyond the
ordinary political adherence of fellow
p«rtisans and to partake somewhat of
ihe nature of persoual attachment
For this most geoerous loyalty of
friendohip, I can make no adequate
return, but 1 snail carry the memory
of it while life lasts.
Nor can I refrain from congratula
ting the Republican Party upon the
cheering prospects which distinguish
the opening of the National contest
of 1888 as compared with that of
1884 In 1882 the Republican party
throughout the Union met with a
disastrous defeat Ten States that
had supported Garfleld and Arthur
in the election of 1880 were carried
by the Democrats either by majorities
or pluralities The Republican loss
in the Northern elections compared
with the preceding National election
exceeded half a million votes, and the
electoral votes of the Union, divided
on the basis of the result of 1882,
gave to the Democrats over thrpe hun
dred electors out of a total of four
hundred and one. There was a par
tial reaction in favor of the Republi
cans in the elections of 1883 but the
Democrats still held possession of
seven Northern States, and on the
batis of the year's contest could show
more than 100 majority in the Elec
toral Colleges of tne wnole country.
But against the discouragement
naturally following the adverse elec
tions of these two years the spirit of
the Republican Party in the National
contest of 1884 rose high, and the
Republican masses entered into the
campaign with such energy that the
final result depended on tbs vote of a
single State, and that State was car
ried by the Democratic Party by a
plurality so small that it represented
less than one-eleventh of one per
cent, of the entire vote. The change
of ft single vote in every (2,000) two
thousand of the total poll would have
given the States to the
Republicans, though only two years
before, the Democratic plurality ex
ceeded (192,000) one hundred and
ninety-two thousand.
The elections of 1886 and 1887
have demonstrated growing strength
in the Republican ranks. Seldom in
our political history has a party, de
feated in a National election, rained
immediately with such vigor,ns have
tbe Republicans since 1884. No com
parison is possible between the sjriiit
of the party in 1882 83 and its spirit
in 1886-7." The periods present sim
ply a contrast—the one of general de
pression, the other of enthusiastic re
vival. Should tbe party gain, in the
results of 1888 over tbone of 1886 7,
in anything like the proportion of the
gain oi 1884 over 1882 3, it would
secure one of tho most reuiarkjole
victories of its entire existence. But
victory does not depend on so large
a ratio of increase; the party has on
ly to maintain relatively its pres'ige
of 1886 7 to give to its National can
didate every Northern Sta'.o but one,
with a far better prospect of carrying
that one than it has bad for the past
six years.
Another feature of tbe political sit
uation should inspire Republicans
with irresistable strength. The pres
ent National Administration was
elected with, if not upon, the repeat
ed assertions of its leading supporters
in every protection Stale that no iss
ue on tbe tariff was involved, Hoa
ever earnestly Republicans urged
that questiou as tbe one oi controll
ing importance in the campaign, they
were met by the Democratic leaders
and journals with persistent evua.on,
concealment and denial. That re
source tbe Pre»ident has fortunately
removed The issue which the Re
publican* maintained und the Demo
crats avoided in 1884 has been prom
inently aud specifically brooch (on
ward by tbe Democratic President,
and cannot oe hidden out of sight iu
1888 Tne country is now in the en
joyment of an industrial system
which iu a quarter of u
century has assured a larger
National growth, a more rapid
accumulation and a broader distribu
tiou of wealth than were tver before
known to history. The American
people will now be openly and for
mally asked to decide whether this
system shall IKJ recklessly abandoned
and a new trial be made of an old an
experiment bus uniformly led
to National embarrassment aud wide
spread individual distress. On the
result of Buch an issue, fairly preserv
ed to the popular judgement, there i.
no room for ouubt
One thing only is necessary to as
sure success—complete harmony and
cordial co-operation ou tb« part of all
Republican*—on tbe part both ol
those who aspire to lead arid of
who are eager to follow. The duty
is not ono merely of honorable devo
tion to the party whose record and
whose aims are alike great, but. it M
one demanded by tb« instinct of self
interest and by the still higher
promptings of patriotism.
A closer observation of the condi
tions of life among tbe older Nation".
gives one a more intense desire that
tbe American people ihall make no
mistake in choosing the policy whirl,
inspires labor with hope and crowuc
it with dignity, which gives saf-ty
to capital and protects increase,
which secures political power t > ev
ery citizen, comfort aud culture to
every home. To tnis end, not less
earnestly and more directly us a priv
ate citizen than as a public candidate,
1 shall devote myself, with the coiifi
deut belief that t.b« Administration of
tbe (Jo7erniueut will be restored to

—Lecture ia ibo United Presby
terian C4»nr«h oa next Thursday
evening at 7 Jtf,
Mr. Blaine's Declination.
The Pittsburg Com Gaze'te of i
Monday has the following t' 1 say eon- j
c< raing Blaine's letter: -Tne letter ;
which Mr. Bltii'Jp bu« addressed to ;
Mr Jones, Chairman of tbe Repnb- j
lican National Committee, will be ;
read with absorbin? interest by :be \
whole country. In it he makes the !
unwelcome, though not uolooked-f r,
statement that his name "will not be
presented to the National Convention !
railed to assemble in Chicago in Juue j
next;" and, further, that he has bee;i ;
"constrained to this decision by con-1
sideratioLS entirely personal" to him - j
self
What effect will this letter have ,
upon the Republican party? This is I
a questiou of momentous importance j
and is. therefore, worthy of the most!
careful consideration. In the first ,
place, it must be accepted as a fact.
that Mr. Blaine has determined not i
to be a candidate. He will give nooae :
permission to present his uame. and
will release ail bis personal frit ads ;
from any obligations tney may have j
felt themselves under to libor iu his ;
behalf. This much is clear. But
Mr. Blaine does not seem to have an
ticipated a contingency quite likely j
to arise his nomination by the »pon- j
taueous impulse of the patty, without j
his oon6eut and notwithstanding his j
declination. There is nothing in his •
letter to indicate ttPt he wcuid re- j
fuse to accept a njmina'.ion tendered
under such cirjumstanees
Another effect of the letter will be
to satisfy the great mass of the party
that success is not only possible but
highly probable His e.rgnment on
this point will, indeed, be conclusive
to many, and particularly to those
who see in him the strougest candi
date that can be named.
Still anotbei eff< ct of Mr. Blaine's
r< tu«al to enter the list of competitors
for th« nomination will be to array
against him thot-e Republicans who
have other favorites and wno press
the plea of unavailability against him
There is » small faction of the party
who act as though they would rather
st_e it defeated tfiau to have it success
ful under his leadership
It is an irrefragable fact that Mr
Biaitie is the tir»l choice of the grei t
body of Republicans, East aud West,
North and South, and the question
now is. must he be taken at bis word
and his uame no be longer considered
in deference to tbe anti-Blaiue senti
ment, or will the party follow i s bet
ter impulses and tender him the nom
ination, placing upon him ihe respon
nihility.of declining or again accept
ing tbe parry" leadership?
Iu view of the unquestioned fitness
of the man, bis splendid services in
the pasr, hi« unf-urpu.-wd eqaipncrr
for leudersbip, and the hope aud en
tbuni&sm which his p rsou;il presejee
inspires, what course is the party
likely to pursu"? Realizing lb it tlx
defeat of four years ago cannot be fit
iributcd to anything which Mr.
Biairie did or omitted to do, and that
he lies closer to tho hearts of the
jrreat majority of Republicans than
anv other candidate, does not. every
consideration of justice, right and
patriotism, to say nothing of party
courage, confiiste.icy and gratitude,
demand his reuominati >u? If the
party can succeed with an 7 other
candidate, it can triumph with Mr
Bl&ioe.
The tariff, as Mr. Blaine sugge-tj.
will be the leading issue iu the cam
paign. Can a better representative
of the protective system, or a more
able exponent and champion of it.-t
system, be nameu thau be? What
essential quality is I ckiog in him that
i« possessed by any other leader like
ly to he selected?
Those Republicans who defeated
Mr Blaine by going over to Mr.
C;eveiaud under the pretense of sub
serving the cause of civil-service r.
form haye found tbeir mistake, ar.d,
if sincere will not repeat their blun
der. Those who made civil-servjc
relorm a pretext simply to cover their
hostility to the tan 3 will not support
any other Republican nominee, be
cause, whoever lie may be, ho mu t
be a pronounced and uncompromising
advocate 'of protection. Taking all
there facts into consideration, there is
nothing to lose'and everything to gniu
by nominating Mr Blaine, unless he
is prepared to say that he would 11 »t
accept the tender of a unauimous
nomination."

tiic i'tuce law of 17DD wa.j especially
strong in Northwestern Pennsyl
vania, but the opposition to its repeal
was formidable. All efforts to effect
a repeal omitting tho local option
feature, failed and tho friends of the
Measure finally adopted the loc tl op
tion cluuse and tho bill passed both
branches of the legislature and bocime
n law in 1885. At the sessi >u of
188T,the Supreme Court in the mean
time liaviiig declared the loc.il option
feature <>i the Wallace ac: uocoustitu
tiotial, a determined effort was made
to entirely repe.tl tho law nt 1700 to
aether with the act of 1885, which
would have left the matter free of
doubt But in the Mouse of lie pre
Bentati\es ouly 1)1 votes could be ob
tained for that purpose uud the bill
failed. Public sentiment, however,
has so plainly manifested itself iu
la'/nr o. repeal of the law of 1700—in
every county where a vote was taken
under tho act of 1885 a tnnj irity fa
voriog repeal—that it is believed
there will be no trouble in accom
plishing that end at tho next ausnion

introducing pititioiiH in C!onijreas
the admittance of Utah as a

' As for Col Jackson he is a bachelor
whose character for morid purity has
never been questioned' Still we be
lieve th in he would be a better man.
and would know much more than he
does, if he were married. A bachelor
who has abundant means for making
a woman happy, and neglects to do

who Undertakes to make three or four

only indication of his marriage iu the
