JCtT CO)WWI0«t, W. FOWLEK CAMPBELL, of Fairview twp. The Ticket. All agree that the ticket nominat ed at the Republican primary last Saturday is a good one. The nom inees are all worthy men, fully com petent and of good character. FOB CONORXBB, Newton Black, Esq., had no opposi tion in tbe rounty and will therefore be presented to tbe district convention as tbe unanimous choice ot this connty. He Is worthy, and the right of our county to tbe district nomina tion is as good as that of any other county of the district. The district is a cew one, Beaver and Lawrence counties being added to the old one of which Butler and Mercer were parts. The present member in Con gress within tbe bonnds of the new district is CoL O. L. Jackson, of Lawrence county. He fefts been re nominated in Lawrence and will be pmsnted to tbe district convention tbe new district for nomination. Beaver county will also present a candidate in the person uf Mr. C. C. Townsend. Mercer county has not yet held her primary and who her candidate may be is therefore yet un-, known. But there will be one from each of tbe four counties of tbe dis trict before tbe district convention when it meets in New Castle, and PO far as we have any knowledge on the subject we do not see why tbe right of Butler county is not fully as good to tbe district nomination as that of any other county of tbe district. STATE SENATE, For this important position tbe Republicans by tbeir votes at the primary have named the Hon. J. B. Sbo waiter of Millers town. Dr. Sho waiter served the people of the coun ty in the House of the last Legisla ture, and it ia admitted on all bands that be represented the county honor ably and faithfully, and with credit to himself. He is a popular man in his wajß, with pleasant address and appearance, acd of tbe best moral character. This district is composed ot Armstrong and Butler counties and a lively contest for tbe district nomi nation is anticipated. No stronger man could be presented to tbe people of tbe district than the Doctor and we hope to hear of his receiving tbe nomination. Our County Conven tion on Monday gave him tbe power to appoint his own conferrees. to meet similar ones from Armstrong county to settle upon the nominee. ASSIMBLY. la the Assembly or House of tbe Legislature, this coonty has two members Four good men were be fore tbe Republican voters at the late primary for these nominations. Tbe choice has fallen open Capt. R. I. Boggs of Zelienopie and Mr. Joseph Thomas Jr., of Karns City. In say ing that these are worthy and good men we but voice the general senti aent They are both intelligent gen tlemen and will make creditable rep resentatives. Irwin Boggs comes of Ms of the old and respected families of the county, being a son of the late Andrew Boggs, Esq., a former Com* missioner of the county. He is a man of excellent character every way. Joseph Thomas, Jr., is also a man of the best character, of good, sound sense and level headed, honest and honorable in all bis intercourse with bis fellow citizens. Tbe county witl bare two reputable and good mem bers in the next Legislature, who trill j care fur her interests and carry out 1 the opinions of our people on all ques tions. JURY COMMISSIONER For this duty the choice has fallen apon Mr. W. F. Campbell of Fair view tap. Fowler, as be is general ly called, is one of tbe most active Republicans ot tbe county. He Is a son of tbe late Wm. C. Campbell, a former Commissioner of tbe county. He is intelligent, is largely connected in tbe coonty and has a very gener eral acquaintance with tbe people of the county. These are the requisites necessary to make a good Jury Com missioner, and in tbe discbarge of tbe duties of ibat office it will be found , tint Mr. Campbell will be UTight and fearless in tbe discharge of ihem. Tbe above comprise tbe county officers to bo elected this fall. The ticket is a good one and will be easily ( ekcted iu November. National Delegate. I This position was voted on at the 1 Republican primary last Saturday by ' sab district# of the county, into which ' •be county bad been divided in par- ' •nance of tbe new mode adopted in c tkis Congressional district, each of 1 the four counties of tbe district hav- J lug 15 sub delegates to elect and send * to s general convention, to meet in 1 Xew Castle after all haye acted in the matter. The result in the differ ent fifteen districts of this county will j be men in the proceedings of the Re turn Judges on Monday. -—The children, grandchildren and j jreat grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs Janes Dun lap, ofthis place, cele- 1 ftrsted the fiftieth anniversary of their * marriage on Tuesday laat, April 17th. a Convention Notes. The proceedings of the Return Judges, composing the Republican County Convention, Monday last, were all harmonious and regular, ex cept in one or two matters, in which the Convention was attempted to be led astray, by designing and interest ed parties. But as soon as discover ed they were set down upon by the Convention. The first was in the matter of Na tional Delegate. This honor or office was acted upon by dislricl» of tbe County, according to the new rule and manner prescribed in the district and by our County Committee. The candidates ran in and by the districts, into which the county was divided. The choice of each of these districts was the choice of its Republican vo ters. To set that aside was to set aside their will and decision. Yet this was attempted, but miserably failed. The effort however was in keeping and characteristic with all the others made In this National Del egate matter. The county was trav eled over, ' 'workers" procured, rigs and teams hired, all of which neces sarily required the expenditure and use of a large amount of money. The liquor interest and business were also found to be arrayed for one of the candidates. The writer of this, al though a candidate, did not leave his home or in any way make a canvass of the County. He regarded it as a place not to be in that way sought for. He however received a majority of the rotes in a number of the districts of the county most free from such in fluences as above deecribed and he mill be represented at New Castle by these delegates. The other effort was an apparent at tempt to hnrry on the meeting at New Castle of the general Conven tion of the district. This waa ex plained however, as a mistake, said to bava come from Lawrence county. The 20th inst. (to-day, Friday), which was proposed, was not only an impossible date, as too early, but wa9 impossible for another reason, that being, that one of the counties of the district, Mercer, had not as yet held her primary or Convention and could not therefore have been represented. We presume our Mercer friends would have made a lively kick on the date proposed. When the matter was understood it was also "laid upon the table/' The Resolutions. The Resolutions passed in the County Convention' last Monday, cover nearly every question before the people and as a general thing are a fair expression of Republican senti ment, as to the principles of the par ty. The Mills' Democratic tariff bill in Congress is opposed: the abuse of the right of suffrage in the South is de nounced, tbe submission to the peo ple of the Constitutional Prohibitory Amendment to the State Constitu tion is affirmed and favored; the rights of labor and tbe laboring men are de clared ior and legislation favored that will secure these to them. There is but one resolution that we have heard any differeoce of opinion upon, and that is tbe one endorsing Judge Gordon for re-nomination for Supreme Judge. Jndge Wickham of Beaver connty and Jndge Stowe, of Pittsburg, are both candidates, and are both good men as well as neigh bors. Butler County wonld natural ly be expected to vote for one of these. The resolution on the question however does not instruct our dele gates to the State Convention and they are free to act in this matter. Tbe resolution on tbe subject and favoring a change in the Chairman ship of the State Committee undoubt edly reflects tbe sentiment of the Re publicans of this County. There should bo rotation in this position as well as in all others. The resolution endorsing Gov. Beaver's Administration so far, also reflects tbe opinions of our people. ROSOOE COHKLINQ died in New York City on Wednesday morning last at 1:50 o'clock, in the f.Oth year of bia age. The career of Mr. Cook ling is HO fresh before the country as to be well known to all. There were bat few more noted men, and that he was an able, accomplished scholar and orator, as well as a successful lawyer, none need question. But as a Republican statesman and politician he was arrogant and vindictive in method and speech. His course to wards the lamented President Gar field, at the very beginning of his Ad ministration, will never be forgotten or forgiven by the Republican par ty or the American people. It wi.s the end of Mr. Conkling's power in his party and to none proved more disastrous than to himself, ilia ca reer as a public man was then closed, since which time he practiced law in New Tork His death is supposed to have beon caused from a cold con. tracted durißg the late severe storm that visited that city. SiNAToa WILLIAM B. MEREDITH has carried Armstroog County for a renominatioa in this State Senate district. The opposition to him in his own county is reported as having been strong and the contest, very clone bet wee& him and his competi tor in that county for the nomination. He can hardly hopa under these cir cumstances to receive the district nomination. W* wre glad to learn that Mr Zeigler, Editor of the Herald, who has beet t ill for some time, is in a fair way of .recovery. His complaint is such thi it he may never be fully re lieved fri >m it but this entire communis ity enter tain the hope that bis days will be prolonged among us. He has the sym patby of all and air hope to aoo* Mm moving around again. REPUBLICAN PRIMARY OF APRIL 14, 1888. — " ~ ' ~ ISTATE SKNATBI ASSEMBLY I JTRV I'OMMISSIOKKI: ; STATK DEL. "sT~ss I s p T .

Jones of Butler and a son-in-law, was present and helped to enliven the occasion. In accepting tbe presents Mr. Kirker made some very good remarks which brought all present to tears of joy.

General Notes. —Germany i 8 said to be the great est potato-eating country in the world. -—A correspondent who writes from Honduras says that more than $12,000,000 of American capital is invested in gold mines in that coun try. —There are only four men now living who haye personally received the thanks of the Congress of the United States. They are Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Howard and Terry. —lt is a curious fact that while Queen Victoria speaks German in her home circle, the present German Em press disregards it in hers and uses English as much as possible. En glish is the fireside tongue of the Greek, Danish and Russian royal families. —lt has been figured out by a sta tistical official that there are 31 crim inals to every 1,000 bachelors and only 11 criminals to every 1,000 mar ried men. From this showing be argues that matrimony restrains men from crime, and ought therefore to be encouraged by legislation and other wise. —A correspondent writing to a Western paper says there are over 50 widows in New York city who pos sess individual fortunes ranging from $1,000,000 to 115,000,000. . * —The peace of Europe is officially declared to be secure, but it is a cost ly peace, the naval and military budgets of the European States amounting this year to the stu pen duous total of $1,400,000,000. —An old man in Maysville, Ky., has driven a coal wagon for thirty eight years, and in that time it is es timated that he has delivered 4,000.- 000 bushels of coc.l. In bis declining years he can reflect that he has con tributed to the comfort, and conse quently to the happiness, of a vant number of his fellow being, and therefore has not lived in vain. —The Cultivator says that in re ply to several communications asking present position of the driven-well litigation, we would state that the denial by the United States Supreme Court of the application for a review of the case of Andrews vs. Hovey has finally strangled tbis impudent ami fraudulent patent cloim Farmers using driyen-wdls or übout to make such need pay no attention to agents or speculators making attempts to collect driven-well royalties." —California raised 36,000,1*00 pouuds of wool last year. This year she she will raise as much more. —lf the expenses of carrying mails in the United States were paid direct from the pockets of the people pro rata, each citizen would pay an aver age of eighty-five cents a year for having hiß mail carried. —One hundred years ego Satur day, April 7, the first settlement was made in the State of Ohio at Marietta. The event was fittingly celebrated at that place last week, prominent men from all sections of the State being present. I —ln Denmark young men are appren j ticed to farmers all over the kingdom l for two or three years under the over sight of tbe Royal Agricultural Soci ! ety. They work one year as learn ers for small wages. The second year they are transferred to a farm io an , other part of tbe country, and they . spend the third year on a farm in a district where a different kind of agri culture is practiced. In this way a thorough knowledge of practical far ming is obtained. —After twenty-one years' labor and an expenditure of $30,000, David Jennings of Lyons, N. Y., has dis covered what all other seekers after perpetual motion have dtscovered, I that he has a perfect balance and nothiug more —Wolves are numerous and bold in the forests between Rogers City and Cheboygan, Michigan, this spring. One old fellow trotted be hind the mail stage like a dog for three miles the other day, evidently in hopes the driver would fall off and allow himself to be eaten, —At a teachers' examination in Jones county, lowa, in answer to the question. "What is hygiene?" a young lady applicant for a certificate to teach school answered: "It is the soft spot on the top of a baby's head which gradually becomes harder as the baby grows older." —Mr. Buhl, an old and wealthy merchant of Detroit, was buncoed out of SIO,OOO last week by a couple of swindlers, The same game was played as was used by tbe men who got SIO,OOO out of Murdoch at Pitts burg a short time ago. —A bill is to be introduced into the Ohio Seuate provided that any man who registers as a voter in Cin cinnati, Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus or Dayton, and then fails to vote, must be fined $5, unless he can give a reasonable excuse for not voting. —Those who possess inside infor mation say there is no doubt that W. L. Scott will be the Democratic can didate for Congress in the Erie Craw ford district this year. Tbe Repub licans have a majority of 3,000 and propose to retire Scott for all time. Fire At Renfrew. Hesslin's store, the opera house, Watson's store and dwelling house, Monroe's barber shop and a vacant building were burned early last Fri day morning. The cause of the fire was an over pressure of gas on the line. Joe Adams and Andy Watson comig off tour at 2:30 disco?ered a red hot stove in the public school bouse. They burst in tbe door and turned off the gas. In about half an hour they discovered fire in the sec ond story of the Hesslin store and gave the alarm. But for them it is thought the Hesslin family could not all have escaped The Stewart House had a close call. Stewart had not yet finished rebuilding since the last fire. A large crowd collected and did excellent work in stopping the fire by means of pails and carpets, tearing down houses, &c. It was by good, hard work, with very few and rude appliances that the further progress of the fire was stopped. —Warren, Pa., people have been gulled by a sharper who solicited ad vertising cards for a "frame" to he placed in a railroad station. Tbe fel low pocketed the lucre, but forgot to put up the "frame." Patronize your paper, when you wish to advertise, and all will be well. Doors, formed of two paper boards, stamped and moulded into panels, glazed together with glue and potash, and then rolled through heavy rollers, are coming quite gener ally into uee. They are claimed to pos sess the advantage over wood of neither shrinking, cracking nor warp ing. —An exchange says ' Some young ladies object to getting married in leap year for fear they will bo sus pected of having pupped tbe ques tion." We doubt it the objection is well taken; for if they don't marry this year folks'll say that they pop ped and were rejected. Better nab tbe husband and run chauces of what folks have to say. A goose in band is worth a flock on the wing Frank liu News. —Harry Stanahan, of East Lacka wannock, caught a large water fowl last Wednesday morning, near bis home, which seems to l>e a stray in this section of the country. It is about tbe size of a goose, with white and black feathers. From tip to tip of wings it measures tour feet six in ches, and has a bill four inches; web footed with three toes. It tallies very nearly with Webster's definition of a guillemot, found in tbe northern parts of Europe, Asia and America, in its flight it has probably wandered from its latitude, is aboiu the only accoun- I ting for its presence here.—Mercer ! iJitpalch.
