The Prohibition Convention.
The morning trains to Butler last
' Saturday brousht in quite a number
of dt-Irirales to ibe Prohibition Con
vention, which met at 11 o'clock in
ifce V M. C A. rooms in the Reiber
buibling. The meeting wad called to
order by County Chairman, J. W.
Orr. Rev. Nesbit of Butler was
♦deeted Temporary Chairman, and
Will Harlej, Secretary.
Chairman Orr thin stated the ob
jects of the Convention wh'ch were
the appointing of a County Commit
tee, nomination of a county ticket,
raiding funds, etc. He read a writ
ten .speech, in which he warned Pro
hibitionists to beware of Democrats
and it- publicans, challenged anyone
to point bim out the Uitlerence be
tween the Democratic and Republican
platforms and wound tip with an elo
quent peroration.
Dr. Nesbit asked for the pleasure
of the Convention, and Rev. McKee
moved for a Committee of Three ou
Credentials, which carried, and Geo.
Ro?ebaugh, Dr Davis and Levi Por
ter, were appointed by the Chair.
W\ P. Braham, moved for a Com
mittee of Five on Platform, which
carried, and the Chair appointed Rev.
J. S. McKee, Dr A. M. Patterson,
HOD. W. P Brahain. Rev. D Decker
aud Jacob Dutchman, but Dr. Patter
son was not present, and it was stated
th'U Jacob Dutchman would not
likely be present, as his father was
lying very low, so J C. Kerr and J.
C. Moore were substituted on the
Committee for them.
Christy Moore moved that where
there was no meeting in a township
to select, delegates, volunteers should
be accepted, and stated that there
wore but two Prohibitionists in Centre
township and that the other man was
not present. This motion carried.
The list of districts was ibeu called
nr.d about G.'ty delegates answered to
the ; r names, and Rev McKee re
quested the delegates to give him a
iu!l li: tof all the Prohibitionists in
each district, for the Secretary of the
State Committee. Mr. Daubenspeck
said he could uarne seventy ic Parker
Twp, and would claim the Banner
Mr. Davis moved for a Committee
of Five ou Permanent Organization
aud Dr. A. V Cuunicgbam, T. B
White, Dr. Davis, and S. C. Bell
were appointed.
Levi Porter moved for a Commit
tee of five on Nominations and J. (J.
Marshall, A. C. Wil:-on, J. M. Beat
ty, C. J. D. Strole.cker aid H S.
Paubeaspeck were appointed.
It was then near noon and a mo
tion to adjou-n till 1 o'clock carried,
and the Convention adjourned by
aingiLg tLe long metre doxology,
with benediction by Rev. Steffy.
Half a hundred men singiug a dox
ology at the close of a session of a
political meeting was an unusual
spectacle and seemed to us an evi
dence of their altruism aud reliance in
Providence.
The afternoon session was opened
with prayer by Mr. Orr.
The Committee on Permanent Or
ganization then reported, and nomin
ated W. T. McCoy for Permanent
Chairman, A. C.Wilson for Vice
Chairman, J. S McKee for Secre
tary, and J. W. Orr for Treasurer;
but Mr. McCoy could not accept on
account of ill health, and towards
the close of the session Mr. L C
Wick was elected Permanent Chair
man or Chairman of the County
Committee. Mr. Orr wished to be
excused as Treasurer, aud thought a
new man and ' better beggar" should
be selected, and named Dr.
but the Convention thought Mr Orr
should continqe.
The usual misunderstanding oc
curred on Permanent Uhairuian and
Temporary Chairman, but it was fi
nally decided that Rev. Nesbit should
continue in the Chair during the ses
sion.
Rev Xesbit thanked the Conven
tion and made quite a little speech.
He feels eure of haif a million Pro
hibition votes this year, and of vic
tory in "J2.
Mr. Orr said their party was the
"great party of princ'ple," and that
the Democratic and liepublican plat
forms differed in .nodes alone, while
the Indianapolis platform represent
ed the great principles of the day.
He also made a plea for money aud
said the treasury was now $53 short.
The Committee on Nominations
then reported, aud suggested the fol
lowing names: For Congress, W.
P. Braham, and I)r. Benjamin Pear
sou and Dr. A V. Cunningham
State Senate, J.W.Qrr and Ii C.Wick.
For Assembly—J. C. Kerr, B. L
Davis, W. M. Bogan and Shryock ,
Harper.
For Jury Commissioners —Wash-
ington Bovard and J B. White.
A motion was intttle and carried to
consider the nominations, for each
office separately, and also to vote by
ballot, and Messrs. Wilson and Orr
were appointed tellers, A vote was
then taken for Congress. Dr. Cnn
ningham withdrew, Mr. Braham had 1 1
votes and llr. Pearson 20. Dr. Pear
son was declared the nominee of the
Convention. His home ia in Centre
ville.
For Sena*;—J. W. Orr had 21
votes and L, C. Wiek 11 —and Orr

Mr. .1.0. liawk was nominated in
the Convention. Bovard had 22
vot s, White 15 and Hawk ?»—and
Mr. Bovard of Cherry was declared
the nominee of the Convention. Mr
llovard is one. of the best men in the
county, an elder in the U. I*. church
and an old time Democrat; and as the
Democratic nominee fur that office is
said to bo a very illiterate man. he
stands a good chance of being olevit
ctl-
The Committee on Resolutions
then reported as follows :

The Prohibition party of liutler county in

II We emphatically denounce all methods
ol raising revenue which involve the tixa

then-lore dcni m l th<-ah dllion ol the inter
nal revenu - lax on intoxicating liipiors, and
the r--p. il ot all licence laws on the statute

; li'. Th>-only pr« per ctlitii'.'e of eiv.il law

Pennsylvania law—constitutional ind statu

for Constitutional Amendment, aud will not
be louud wailing it' an opportunity be given
to the people to deal with that qu-stion.
IV. While recojfjaiz'ug the discreditable
fa't of the anibi: uity of our License Laws
that rdmit of such diverse constructions, we
p.-ofjuud regret that our I.icen-e
Court has so coust.ue.l that law as to again

long as it remains among us we declare our
to siaite with all goo J cit.z:us m

When the Convection Lad ;;om- j

opened—with prayer.
"Tippecanoe and Tariff Too."
The ratification accorded to Harri
son and Morton, Tuesday evening
was the most enthusiastic ever given
by the ci'izons of Butler to the nomi
nees of any party, and indicates the
success of tiie Republican party at
the polls in November.
The program was arranged and car
ried out by the Young Metis Repub
lican Club ol tho town. One band
went over to Spriogdale and load tho
delegation i»om that part of the to wn
to the crossing of Main and .Jefferson
streets, where they \yere joined b.y the
Clqb Leaded by the other band, all
carrying lj tgs and banners, and the.n
paraded the streets, At least four
hundred men were iu line, and when
the crowd assembled oa the Diamond,
it was the largest we have ever seen
there, probably numbering three
thousand.
James M. Galbreath, E j q , the i
(if the «;!ul» called the meet-1
iug to order, and made the; first speech. |
lie went into the history of the Whig .
and Republican parting, a poke of thu ;
campion of IVJQ, wUen "Tippecanoe j
and Tyler too !? the motto of the
party, aud thought that now that wc
ha/e a grandson of "Tippcaaoo" Har
rison for our besarer, our
motto ishould be "Tippecanoe and
Tariff too"—a very good idea.
He was followed by Ntwtou Black
Esq, who spoke for the soldier ele
ment of the party, and predicted the
election of Harrison, and said that on
next Memorial day, Harrison would
not be foimd irj the Adiron
dack*. as wan Clevelaud on last Mem
orial Day.
J. I). McJuokin Esq , spoke of the
mission of the Republican party,
thought it had not yet been fulfilled,
advised Plus Ultra, Onward, Prog
ress, More Beyond—for a motto, and
thought a red cotton bandana was
a good enough banner for Southern
Democrats, but said that Republicans
preferred the and Stripes.
(jjeo. W. Fleeger Idaq. begun his
speech with au impromptu parody on
Conkling's speech nominating Grant.
"When i' ked what stale he hail* from
Our sole reply shall be
Hoouierdcw 14 Kis statu
(rnd ho marohndj
With Sherman to the Sea."
Fleeger made quite a lengthy po
politieal speech on the tariff and other
questions, and gave the personel of
of the present Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House' the majority of
whom are Southern democrats, as
showing the origin of the Mills Bill
and the animus of the tariff legisla
tion of the present House.
Jno. M. (jreer Ijsq. said be would
always he found on the light side of
the fenoe—the Republican side, and
made a general political sp >ch.
Mr. Galbrcath then proposed three
cheers for Harrison and Morton, and
adjourned '.he meeting.

John Hancy, an engineer from

and gave it one slash across the
throat,pai tially severing the windpipe,
and theu threw the knife away.
No one was present when he made
the attempt; but he was found soou
ultcr by a policeman, in an almost in
sensible condition from loss of blood.
Haney was taken to the West Penn
Hospital in a wagon, and the.'e his
wound was carefully dressed, and he
will probably recover.
When asked by Superintendent
Cowan the cause of his action, Haney
replied that he was tired of living,
and wan* d to die.
A 4 legrara from McKeesport says;
A strauge event oceured in the West

short distance when a mineral rock
was struck, portions of which were
sent to the company's headquarters.
A-tew days afterwards operations
were suspended, the derrick taken
away and the hole plugged up. The
farmers became very much, edited

is valuable gold quartz.

The Retort Courteous.
"Slightly disabled but still in the
ring" was tbe bulletin issued by the
Kishels shortly after six o'clock last,
Saturday afternoon. You s< e tbe
club had just been amusing itself
with the Schuls of Pittsburg, whom
they had beaten so handily a week
bef re, and had invited up agaiu to
give satisfaction for the former defeat.
Which was certainly magnanmous
Very.
Only it was quietly whispered
around that out - boys would give the
Scbads a drubbing that they would
remember, and from sundry winks
and mysterious expressions it appear
ed advisable to certain Humanitarians
that a subscription paper be circulated
lor the benefit of the poor Sehads,
who would certainly not be allowed
to return to Pittsburg under the aw
ful defeat that was in store for them
Please dq, not weep for the poor
homeless fellows tiil you read down a
little farther.
Why, did you a*k ?
Because the Fittsburgers were re
ceived on the front end of a brass
band when they got home.
Why, again?
Because the Schads had sent a tel
egram home read as follows: "We
have met the enemy and they are
ourn."
The fact was we were hisn.
He came down on us as inuocent
looking as in the olden time a week
ago, but he was a Tiernan in bis bat-
ting, a Ward in his base running, a
Keeie in his pitching, aud a Mansell
in his throwing. His mascot was in
prime order aud his umpire was most
effective.
That umpire's bead needs fixing.
The club was hero ou business and
our name was Dennis.
Bright, our mainstay, hud a sore
arm, Boreland had sore hands, Scott
had a spraiued hack, Lohr had to
pitch and couldn't, McCullough was
under a spell, McGrew couldn't find a
suitable Cat, Dougherty was trained
down under his lighting weight,Gow
ing couldn't keep goiug, aud lleine
iuan just kinder couldn't play ball.
And then none of boys tried to wiu,
and luck was against us.
The moon was in the wrong sigu.
A large crowd witnessed the agon
izing spectacle of which the follow ug
is a memento:

What we would like to seo the
boys do now is wallop the Freeport
ers.
If they could he induced to come
up on the Fourth of July it would
doubtless attiact a large crowd and
wouldn't prove very painful to the
club .rom the village by the river for
they surely never foster any hopes of
beating our boys. Uy-tbe-by, we
have heard ugly rumors from the lit
tle toarn of Uuckeuheimer'a own and
only. It appears that remembering
oertain defeats they have sustained at
the hands of our Fiahela, they hail
with joy the rare occasions when we
are downed and are plunged into
saduess up to their ears when we win.
It is said the town went into mourn
ing over our kuocking the Scbada out
two weeks ago. I'eoplo with good
digestion ate no supper that night,
Brother McKee put hia office in
mourning by draping the office towel
over hia desk, and a deep veil of
gloom about 30 inches in depth set
tled over the place. The victory of
the Subada has dispelled all this and
if they are allowed to continue the
Freeportera will surely begin to think
they can "do up" our Fishela. There
fore, say we, invite them up to their
own tuneral and let the date be the
4th of July and may they rest in
peace.
Tlio Fishols' Great Ganje.
Truly baseball is a game fearfully
ami wonderfully made.
After chronicling the above game
wo learu that the Fishela played a
magnificent game at Blairsville on
Tuesday and defeated their crack club
by a score of l> to 2. The game was
characterized by the evideut superior
ity of our boys both at bit and in the
field, and was an exhibition of such
playiug as would havo befitted the
greatest professional clubs. Butler's
sole error was one of those unimport
ant ones that are unnoticed and, prac
tically, our boys played in faultless
style.
Lohr pitched the game of his life
and Douherty, Bright and McCul
lough gaye evidences of what they
can do by making phenomenal catchea
"Old Reliable" Scott did the slug
ging, having three ba3o hits to his cre
dit
Butler's boom includes baseball aud
just you chalk it down.

Get Thin Clothing
To Fit.
We're only on the edge of
summer. What will the mid
dle be without Thin Clothing?
We anticipate a strong trade
in such goods. Our stock is
equipped for it. In the whole
round of Thin Hoods there
isn't one worthy quality that
we haven't. Serges, Seer
suckers, Alpacas, and to Of
fice Coats as low in price as
are worth having.
Isn't this as good a time as
any to get reliable goods when
they're to be got? J. N, PAT
TERSON never relaxes his
purpose to have the best. We
haven't any that we can't en
dorse as the best of their
class.
Suppose Thin Clothing
does cost less. That its cost
is but a trifle. Mayn't you
as well have the best: and
comfort for weeks and weeks?
Get Thin Clothing that fits.
Pie lty of it is just thrown to
gether. Too mean to sell.
Slim money's worth: slimmer
comfort. We'll give you Thin
(roods to fit.
We're getting a big sum
mer trade now. It'll increase
as the goodness of our Thin
Clothing gets found out.
