J1i.,01 Karos city. JTEV MWIHWDKK. W. FOWLER CAMPBELL, ol Fall-view twp. ABLE, safe, sound, clean, experi enced, honest, are the words thai tit grand Ben. Harrison, of Indiana. There is magic in the name as there was in 1840, and victory is in the air. THE nomination of Benj. Harrison is received with wonderful enthu siasm throughout the country. No nomination, except that of Blaine, could have evoked such genuine pleasure. A BRAVS soldier, a great lawyer, ID upright Senator, a noble man; sound on the tariff, sound on the cur rency, and all other great public ques tion*, honest Ben Harrison is every thing his opponent is not. He will go into the White House next March backed by a solid North, and per haps by a part of the South. THE great man of Maine had to write two letters and two cable mes sages before be could get it into the fcoali of his supporters that he did not desire the nomination. He was the true patriot and lover of his country to the last. No American ever stood higher in the esteem of bis fellow-countrymen. His politi cal foes can but admire him. THB London Sjtcctator says that Grover Cleveland "has done more to advance the cause of Free Trade than anv prime minister has ever done.*' The London Spectator is right, and as th ; s country has no use for a President who runs his admin istration in tbe interest of English manufacturers, it will proceed to do a rat job of political burial in his case, and put Harrison in his place for four jetn from March 4th next. ERIE'S welcome to the Pennsylva nia State Editorial Association," as gotten up and giren by the Erie Evening Herald of June 27, is one of the best and most commendable and successful enterprises yet under taken by any of the country press in the Western part of this State. It finely illustrated and the whole re flects great honor and credit on the Herald and the people of Erie gener ally. DR. T' -NK Cow AJT, the philoso pher of Westmoreland county, who vent as a Democrat round the world twice —north and south of the equa tor—came home to ratify Harrison's aomioation, because, be olA»rves. all the savage tribes he met are free traders and Americans need protec tion. Mr. Cowan is a son of late United States Senator from this State, Hon. Edgar Cowan, and has hitherto been a Democrat, bnt cannot go with that party in its hostility to a protec tive tariff, and therefore comes out for Harrison and Morton, the Republi can candidates. Declaration of Independence. For some years after becoming ed itor of this paper we made it a prac tice, and thought it a patriotic duty, to publish the Declaration of Inde pendence each year as the fourth of Jalv called around. This we thought a right way to keep alive a remembrance of the grand origin of oar Government, as well as of the free principles upon which its founda ti>ns were laid by our forefathers. Of late years this practice has not been kept np. But nevertheless wc think •verjbody should annually read .this immortal document. Almost all the old families of tbe land have the Declaration of Independence in a book of some kind in their houses. All these, and their children, of course appreciate it. But how mauy thousands, yea, perhaps millions, are BOW in these United States who know nothing and care nothing about the origin of the Nation or its found ere? How many have come, aud are coming, from foreign countries, who, while enjoying its free princi ples, are totally indifferent as to its cost in blood and treasure? How all these arc to be taught the first prin ciples of the Government is a ques tion for the wisest and best to solve. Our common schools do much. But the day is perhaps not far distant when education will have to lie en forced and all children be compelled to read and learn, not only the Dec laration of Independence, but of tbe priceless value of the freedom they enjoy. "In the course of human events" this looks like a coming ne cessity. When we reflect on the rap id advance in population, people com ing from all climes and countries aud fast filling up this fair land with all races and languages, it is time to loo* ahead to our future security and •lability. This will most effectually be done by instilling into all the youtb tbe principles of the Declara tion of lmifpeu ience, for the getting and support of which our great an cestors pledged their lives, their for tunes and their sacred honor. Death of Hon. William Stewart. Hon. William Stjwart, a former well known citizen of Hutler, died at New Castle, Pa, on Friday last, June *2! i, ISSS, in the Sfitb year ot his at;o. Mr. Stewart was born in Allegheny county and came to Butler when a young man. Being intelligent and enterprising his worth was soon rec ognized Soon after coming here he become editor, in 18*24, of the Butler Sentinel, a paper which was the ex ponent of the then anti-Jackson sen timent of the times, having been es tablished by Moses and John Sulli van, Esqrs., in 1820 and the first in the county as such. From the Si'iihnel may be said to have sprung in suc cession the subsequent \V big and Re publican papers of this couuty. It was ably edited by Mr. Stewart for about six years, to 1330. During ptrt of.this time he was also Prothon otary of the County, being appointed to that office by the then Governor, Shultz. In 1853, he was elected a member of the General Assembly for the couuty, nnd served in the Legis lature as such for two years, being reelected in 1854. Before and subse quent to this time he was engaged in active and useful business in the county, principally in the iron busi ness. He was partner with the late Hon. Charles C. Sullivan in the es tablishment of the blast furnaces at Hickory Mills, Slipperyrock Tp , this county, where they also carried on the flour milling business. The fur naces on Rough Run, Winfield Tp., were also due to his enterprise, which point he took a great interest in de veloping. Previously he was inter ested iu the furnaces near Rose Point Lawrence county. In all he was quits successful. After leaving this county he re moved to Pittsburg. Subsequently, with his son-in-law, the late Samuel Foltz. Esq ,he was engaged in the banking business at New Castle. For some time past and since the death of his wife he had been living with his daughters, Mrs. Melissa McKee, of Pittsburg, and Mrs. Amanda Foltz, widow of Samuel Foltz, and at whose residence in Xew Castle he died. His wife, who was Margaret Sullivan, a sister to the late Moses, John and Charles C. Sullivan, preceded him about four years ago. Mr. Stewart was a man of recogni zed moral worth,being continually en gaged in good acts and deeds. He was an active and leading member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and often times officiated as local minister in the same. Those of our citizens yet left to remember him will look back on his life here as that of a good' man, a man of integrity and true to principle, of more than ordinary force of character, aud whose strong will and scholarly attainments won to him and commanded the respect of his fellow citizens. He was buried at New Castle on the 2d inst. his funeral we are told being very largely attended. And thus has passed away another ot the early and upright citizens of this county. Mr. DepewS Wilty Speech. About the first ratification meeting of Harrison and Morton was held in Chicago shortly after the nominations and was gotten up by the lowa dele gates, otherwise called and to which Mr. Depew was invit ed and where he made a speech pro ! voking much laughter and applause, as follows : "FELLOW GRANGERS, [great laugh ter] —nothing pleases me so much as to meet these intelligent farmers, with whom I act aud live aud whose occupation has been mine all mylife.*! inherited a farm when I was born, aud I have raised enough off it to pay the taxes on it. I had no trouble with the transportation companies, because there was uo surplus on the farm to trausport. When you ar rive at that condition the trouble be tween the railways and granger peo ple will cease[Laughter.~]l never saw a convention so harmonious at its opening, so long continued, and so harmonious at its close. When I had met the enemy and belonged t> him 1 had the felicity of occupying a position seldom accorded to anyoue on this earth. I pronounced my own obituary. And I believe every corpse should pronounce its own obituary, because it knows better than any man living the virtues and vices of the deceased. [Laughter.] It is a strange sensation though, to hear the gravel rattling upon your own coflin when you throw it in youself. But the Bepublican party has done with funerals. [A voice, "We'll have one for Grover."] Yes, we"ll furnish a funeral for him but we'll furnish no more corpses from our own ranks. The result of the convention is the best that could possibly have been arrived at. And I say this with no reflection upon Senator Allison or Senator Sherman or the gallant sol dier, Gen. Alger, nor upon my friend, Judge Gresham, a man who iu pub lic and private life stands supreme among those who are considered the greatest aud the best." Mr. Depew predicted, as did all the others, success for the ticket in No vember, The Bandana. The "bandana," or red handker chief, of the Democrats as a cam paign device is being driven out by the "stars and stripes," and every thing looks now as if the Democrats were ashamed of it themselves The rhymesters got hold of it aud soon turued it into ridicule. The follow ing are specimens of some of the humorous parodies made upon it : 'Tis the old red baudaua, Oh long may it wave O'er the turf that will cover Democracy's grave." Another takes for his model a por tion of Drake's immortal lines, with this humorous result: "When Free Trade, from her topmost crag, I'ufiirled her standard to the air, She thrust aside the old-time Hag And set a big bandana there. She sprinkled o'er its crimson dyes The dust that in a snuff-box lies; She striped its folds, red as a rose, With snuff that tickles Thurman's uose." Ingersoll Talks Politics. Col. Ingersoll in a brief interview about the Democratic candidates and platform says of Cleveland* "I do not regard Cleveland as per sonallv popular. He has done noth ing, so far as I know, calculated to endear him to the popular heart. Four years ago he was distinctly op posed to a second term. He was then satisfied that no man bhould be elect ed more than once, in a little while he begau to hope for a second term, and gradually the civil service notion faded from his mind. Mr. Cleveland saw that be was iu danger ofbi-ing left with no supporters except a few who thought themselves too respect able to really joiu the Democratic party So for the last two years, and especially for the last year, he turned his attention to pacifying the real Democratic party. "Auothor great mistake, I think, has beeu made by Mr. Cleveland. He seems to have takeu the greatest de light in vetoing peusion bills, and they seem to be about the only bills that be has e'xaminea, and he has ex amined them as a lawyer would the declaration, brief or plea of bis oppo nent. He has sought for technical ities, to the end that he might veto these biils. By this course he has lost the soldier vote, and there is no way to regain it. lie has shown about the same feeling toward the soldier now that he did dur.ng the war. "The principal vestige of monarchy or despotism in our constitution is the veto power, aud this has been more liberally used by Mr. Cleveland thau bv any other president. This shows the nature of the man and how nar row he is and through what a small intellectual aperture be views tl 3 world. "Now as to Senator Thurmaa. During the war he occupied substan tially the same position occupied by Mr. Cleveland. He was opposed to putting down the rebellion by force, and as I remember it, he rather justi fied the people of the south for going with their people. "No matter how much respectabil ity he adds to the ticket, I do not be lieve that he will give any to it. I think the failure to nominate Gray or some other good man from that state will lose Indiana." "Do you think the nominations have been well received throughout the United States?" "Not as well as in England. I see that all the : J>ry papers regard the nomination as excellent—especially that of Cleveland. Every English man who wants Ireland turned into a penitentiary and every Irishman to be treated as a convict, is delight ed with the action of the St. Louis convention. England kuows what she wants. Her market is growing small. If she could see our factories still and dead; if she could put out the fires of our furnaces and forgers, there would come to her the greatest prosperity she has ever known. She would fatten on our mislortunes— grow rich and powerful and arrogant upon our poverty. We would be come her servants. We would raise the raw material with ignorant labor and aliow her children to reap all tue profits of its manufacture, and in the meantime to become intelligent aud cultured while we grow poor and ignorant. Of course the English people expect all the Irish in the Uuited States to elect the president that they the English Tories desire, and while they are prosecuting Irish Catholics Iu Ireland, they expect their children will do their best to in augurate and carry out an English policy in the United States." "What do you think of the Demo cratic platform ?" "Mr. Wattersou was kiud enough to say that before they took the roof ell" the house they were going to give the occupants a uhauce to get out By the house I suppose be means the great workshop of America. By the 'roof' he means protection; and by the 'occupants' the mechanics, lie is not goiug to turn them out at once, nor take the roof off in an instant, but this is to be done gradually. "Now, understand me, Ido not believe thr., the Democrats think that free trade would result in disaster. Their minds are so constituted that they really believe that free trade would be a great blessing. lam no l calling in question their honesty. I am simply disputing the correctness of their theory. "Fine phrases in the Democratic platform will not deceive tbe people of this country. The American me chanic and farmer already has a mar ket of (>0,000,000 of people, and, as I said before, the best market in the world. This country is now so rich, so prosperous, that it is the greatest market of the earth, even for luxuries. It is the best market for the pictures, for works of art. It is the best mar ket for music and song. It is the b\st market for dramatic genius, and it is the best market for skilled labor, and in this country to day the poor man has the best chance—he can look forward to becoming the proprietor of a home,of some land,to independence, to respectability, and to an old age without want and without disgrace. He couldn't do thut if placed in com petition with the pauper labor of Europe." Political. This is from Henry George, mark you: If Mr. Cleveland is reelected, as with courage 1 believe he will be, protection will have received its death blow. One of the Harrisons helped to ex ecute Charles 1., another signed the Declaration of Independence, and still another became President of the Uni ted States. Benjamin has a fine fam ily record and he promises to keep up the history of it in good form. We have seen a number of attempts to quote the campaign verse of 1840. but, says the * Globe-Democrat, uot one is correct. The Chicago Tribune. gives it this way: O, have you heard the news from Maine, How she went hell-bent For Governor Kent^ Aud Tippecanoe aud Tyler too? The right reading, as nearly as we can remember, is: <), have you heart! the news from Maine, Maine, all honest anil true She went hell-bent Kent, Ami Tippecanoe and Tyler too. Th : s, says the Globe-Democrat, was tt verse added to the campaign song of 1840, after the tide had turn ed in favor of the Whigs by the elec tion of Governor Kent in September. Another verse, and the ono most popularly sang, was: O, have you heard the news from Maine? Maine, all honest and true, Twenty thousand is the tune l'or Tippecanoe and Tyler ton, And with them, &e. —John Jarrett in his Brooklyn speech made this incontrovertible statement: "It is a correct principle to develop our resources in preference to patronizing those of any other country, even if it does more, al ways providing that protection re mits in higher wages to the working men."

Two Democratic Ex-Soldiers Flop to the Republican Party. Maj.-Gen. A. L. Pearson, says the Pittsburg Com-Gazelle of June 30, who for a number of years has voted with the Democratic party, informed the Gom-Gazetle reporter that he in tended voting for Gen. Harrison, the Republican nominee for President. The General, in stating why he in tended to flop, said: "I am always with the soldier can didate. I voted for Hencock in 1880 because he was a soldier and veteran, i feel that I would be derelict in my duty as an ex-veteran of the late war if I did not cast my vote for Gen. Har rison. I respect and admire him for his many excellent qualities as a sol dier and civilian, and I will support the ticket of which he is the standard oearer. But strictly speaking, I do not think it is any person's business bow I vote. I have been ill for sev eral days past, consequently I do not feel physically able to express myself at length as to why I flopped. I hopa to be able to do so soon." Among the Pittsburg gentlemen who met and conversed with Maj. William McKioley last night was Maj. Samuel Harper. The question of Gen. Pearson's flop to the Repub lican party was brought op in course of conversation. Maj. McKinleysaid he was pleased to hear that Gen. Pearson was going to vote for Harri son, whereupon Muj. Harper remark ed: I have more good newsla that line. I understand that Charles F. McKen na, another weli-knowu Pittsburgh attorney, will also vote Geu. Harris on." Ou being further questioned Mr. Harper said the information came to him from a very reliable source. Oue of the best-known Democratic politicians, on learning of the above, said: "I am not in the least surprised that old soldiers and tariff man like McKenua would vote Harrison. Cleveland has certainly snubbed the old soldiers in the Democratic party to a great extent. I do not know whether he has done so intentionally or not, but the fact is evident, all the same. Then again, the Administra tion has gone completely over to free trade, and there is no gainsaying it. Cleveland has surrendered completely to such rank free-traders as Watter son, Hurd aud Carlisle. We tariff Democrats cannot si »port a party of that kind, and I firmly believo that Harrison will get a large share of the Democratic soldier vote and also the vote of the protectionists in that par ty. Flops to the Republican ranks are in order, and you wiil hear of a number of them this summer. IT is a noticable fact that nearly all the vegetables, "garden truck," so called, that the people of Butler, aud we suppose of every other town in the North, have been eating for some weeks past, comes from abroad, some of it from the Southern States, aud much from still warmer and farther parts south. Thus we have Bermu da potatoes and onions; tomatoes, cabbage, egg plants, plums, apricots, peaches and apples from Florida or the South: melons from Georgia and ber ries irom other distant points. This is all well enough aud illustrates what railroad facilities and modern enterprise are doing. But it is advisa ble to be careful how we use these early vegetables, as much is said to be immature and uot to ripen until af ter it riches here, and hence are chol era suggesting. While some of our vegetables will not mature here for months, yet we will soon have some of them, and in a health point of view it may be well enough to wait until they come in due season. A GREAT ticket, on a magnificent platform. You may as well prepare to vacate, Mr. Cleveland. Gen. Sherman's Views. NEW YORK, June 2t>. —Gen. WM T Sherman said last night at the Fifth Avenue llotei: "I think there could not lie a more powerful ticket than Harrison aud Morton. 1 think that every uian who fought for the preservation of this Government should vote for these men. They are both strong I'trioa men, one is a sol dier and the other a statesman—both well tried in their country's service. Ilirrisou, 1 think, will be as strong a* Bloine would have been Of c use, I would rather my brother Jjua ha lg. t it, but the Republican party should be the judge and select its own staudard-bearer. It is 'he duty now of every true citizen to stand by those tuen who were true to countrv when she was in danger. There has never been a true Union man sent to represent this country in foreign lands under this Administra tion, and it is time for a change. I believe Cleveland has done the best he could. I have no fault to find with his Administration. My feelings, though, carry me back to the war. I would not keep up sectional differ ences. Every Southern man has the same rights that we have. Hut Cleve land has sent out to represent us men who would hage starved us during the war. The}' are what I call the copperheads. Cleveland is seventeen years younger than I. lie should have shouldered a musket aud have gone to the front. Everybody capable of carrying a guu should have offered his services. Then the war would not have lasted as long as it did. At Yicksburg and Gettysburg we were short-handed, and if those men who hung in the rear had gone to the front the war would Have been over a year sooner than it was. The candidates named now are wonderfully good. Harrison is a man of great character, good habits and lineage. He is good eyery way, and a fit and proper person to go to the White House Now, it is a fair and square race between the two par ties." The Campaigns of '4O and 'BB. It is quite natural that the nomiua tiou of lieu. Benjamin HarrLon as the candidate of the Republican party for President should recall the stir ring scenes and incidents which ren dered memorable the contest iu which his illustrious grandfather, William Henry Harrison, won for the Whig party its magnificent victory iu 1840 That was known as the log cabin and hard cider campaign, and these were made distiuctive features by reason of the fact that leading Democrats of that day ridiculed the VVbigs for hav ing chosen au obscure man who lived in a log cabin in the wilds of Ohio aud spent his time in hunting coons and drinking hard cider. The Whigs seized upon these shafts of ridicule and most adroitly turned them into weapons which they used with telling effect upon their adversaries. The log cabin, with the coon skin and the cider bar rel, became the party emblems of the Whigs, and they appealed with irre siscable force to the plain people, who were not then as far removed from the humble cabin of logs as are the voters of to dav. It is worth noting that "old Tippe canoe" had for his antagonists, just as young "Tip" has n#w, a New Yorker who was asking for a second t"rm. Another coincidence is that protection to American industries was a leading issue then, as now; and, still another, the Administration then in power had been arraigned for tim idity in the assertion of American rights against the unjust demands of Canada, just as the Cleveland Admin istration has been. The elder Harrison was -an easy winner as against Van Buren, who was a much abler man than Cleveland, and the logic of the situ ation calls as loudly for the election of the grandson a3 it did for that of the grandfather forty-eight years ago. Harrison carried New York. New Jersey, Connecticut and ludiana iu 1840. Like causes produce like effects and history repeats itself.—Pittsburg Com Gazette, June 29. Caused by TarifT Agitation. The fires iu the Merchants Mills of the Eiiuira Iron and Steel Rolling Company have been drawn, putting a stop to all operations until there is somethiug definite done on the Mills tariff biil. This action will also ne cessitate the chilling of the blast furn aces connected with the works. This raovemeut is made by H. W. llith bone, president of the company, who formerly was au uncompromising Democrat, but now is oue of the most thorough Protectionist and advocates of Republican principles iu the State Mr. Rathboue says he has nothing to hope !or from the Democratic plat form, and should that party succeed in the coming election, the iron and steel business of the country would be ruined. He therefore doesn't pro pose to pile up goods that must neces sarily fall in value if the Cleveland- Carlisle-Mills party should get full control of tho Government. By the shut down a large uumber of men, who for over a quarter of a century have been steadily employed, have been thrown out of work, and they are seriously consider! ng the tariff question from an interested point of view. SOME of the Democrats are wor rying themselves about what Gener eral Harrison said about the Chinese some fifteen years ago. While no person iu these parts cares what he or eny other body said so long ago, yet it might be well to refer all such Democrats to what the Republican platform just adopted at Chicago says on the subject of Chineso and all for eign contract labor, and on which platform General Harrison now stands as follows: "We declare our hostility to the introduction into this country of for eign contract labor, and of Chin ese labor, alien to our civ ilization and our constitution; and we demand the rigid enforcement of the existing laws against it, and fa vor such immediate legislation as will exclude such labor from our shores." —The lion. Levi P. Morton, the Republican candidate for Vice' Pres ident, is no politician, but a philan thropist, which is better yet. When j the people of Ireland were starving he fitted out the pood ship Constella tion with food for them at a cost to himself of §50,000. This act of charity was done years ago, so that Democracy could not give it a taint of demagogism if it tried. The Irish people of this country are warm hearted themselves, appreciate be nevolent traits in others, and this kindness to their countrymen that no doubt saved uiany lives will not be forgotten by them.

Garfield to the convention of 1S80: "Not here in this brilliant circle* where 15,000 men and women are assembled is the destiny of the Re publican party to be decreed.

He has been a dem ocrat all bis life but now intends vot ing with the party that votes for the soldiers and hopes all soldiers iu this county will do likewise this fall.

The stimulated workman gives out before the unstimulated workman My father said: "I became a temper ance man early in life because I no ticed that in the harvest field, al though I was physic illy weaker than other workmen. I could Lold out longer than they. They took stimu lants; I took none." A briekwaker in England gives his experience in regard to this matter among men in his employ. He says, after investi gation: "The beer drinker who made the fewest bricks made (>39,000; the abstainer who made the fewest bricks, 716,000. The difference iu behalf of the abstainer over the indulger, 87,000." There came a very ex hausting time iu the British Parlia ment. The session was prolonged until nearly all the members got sick or worn out. Out of G52 members oniv two went through undamaged —they were tetotaiers. When an army goes out to the bat tle field the soldier who has w iter or cullee iu his canteen marches easier and fights better than the soldier who has whisky in his canteen. Hum helps a man to fight when he has only one contestant, aud that at the street cor ner. But when he goes forth to nißin tain some great battle for G>»d and his country, he wants no rum about him. When the Russians go to war a corporal passes along the line and smells the breath of every soldier. If there be in his breath a taint of in toxicating liquor, the man is sent back to the barracks. Why? ne cannot endure fatigue. All our young men know this When they are preparing for a regatta, or for a ball club, or for an athletic wres tling, they abstain. Our working people will be wiser after awhile, and the money they fliug away on hurtful indulgences they will put into co-op erative associations and so become capitalists.— Rev. Talmage. —The graduating class of Prospect Academy, this year, was composed of Bertha Borland, John Wirner, Dottie Richardson, \V. G. Wilson, P. Keister.
