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.

gives it this way:
O, have you heard the news from Maine,
How she went hell-bent
For Governor Kent^

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:

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.
Hip, Hip, Hurrah, Harrison.
O, Cleveland, you must face tit-teat—
Put up that old baiuliiUil,
You canuot, cannot, rannot bmt,
This man fro»i ludiaua.
That Hies the I'uion banner;
With Harrison we'll win the day
As sure c- comes election,
Down with the wipe that's stamped free
trade
We'll give it no prote. t'ou !
rnonrs.
Put up the old bandana,
Put up the red bandana,
They cannot cannot, caun.it bea:,
Brave Itou of Indiana !
When treason reared her horrid head
And tried to trail our banner.
Then, by lus love of countrv led,
Tnis man fro m Indiana
Fought for—no red bandana;
He fought to keep the stai ry llag
Proud poi-ed the Union over,
With dauntless heart he did his part,
But where, O where, was Urover?
CHORUS.
While Ben to keep the starry ilajj
Proud poised the Union over
Fought valiantly on uiauy a field,
Pray, where, O where, was Grover?
The West shall grandly rally round
Brave Ben of Indiana,
The East as loyal shall be found
Beneath his starry banner
That shames thet old bandana;
Then forward march ! we'll win the day
As sure as comes election,
Down with ihe wipe that's stamped Free
We'll give it no protection !
CHOKIS.
Put up the old bandana,
Put up the red bandana,
They cannot, cannot, cannot beat
Brave Ben of ludiana.

Birthday Greeting.
EDS. CITIZEN:—In the lives of all
of us there are bright days, like the
30r.h day of June, ISB3, on which
many hearts were made glad when
they met at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. I. F. Double of Worth twp. iu
honor of the 47th birthday of Mrs.
Double.
About 10 AM , the neighbors and
relatives came in on the host and hos
tess, they being a good natur
ed couple appeared to think the
guests meant no harm. The women
being good cooks soon had a good
dinner prepared for all present. At
12 M. dinner was anuounced, the ta
ble was filled up at once with Mr. and
Mrs. Double aud llev. Shaw and
wife at the head. Alter a bieS9iug by
llev. Shaw, all helped themselves
to the of good things that
were placed before them.
Alter dinner the meeting was call
ed to order, and Mr. John Updegraff
was elected president and J. C. Sny
der, Esq Sec'y. Rev. Shaw was on
j hand and delivered a feeling and able
. presentation speech in presenting Mrs.
! Double with some handsome and val
uable presents, 'too numerous to men
tion.' J. C. Snyder, Esq. made the
reply to the presentation speech, after
which Rev. Shaw led iu prayer.
After a few hours spent iu social
intercourse the assemblage dispersed.
Mr. and Mrs. Double have reason to
I feel proud of the high esteem in which
! they are held in the neighborhood in
which they reside as evidenced by the
hearty outpouring of their neighbors
on this occasion.
Yours truly, ONE PRESENT.
"Tippecanoe."
HOOKER, July 3, 'S3.
EDS. CITIZEN:—Sir: In the last
number of the CITIZEN notice is made
of a medal in the possession of Major
J. B. Story. I have in my possess
ion one somewhat similar to it.
Upou the one side is the bust of
Genera! Harrison with th j inscript
ion, "Major General W. H. Harrison,
born Feb. 9th 1773." Ou the reverse
is the representation of a log cabin
and the cider barrel, with the inscrip
tion "The people's choice in the year
1840,"
This was the property of my fath
er, and has been in my possession for
many years; I have kept it as a me
mento of by-gone days. I can in
dorse the log cabiu, but the hard ci
der neve/; as I belong to that number
who insists on Tipping the Caooe in
that peculiar way which will keep
the bottom dry. Yours resp'y,
HARVEY CAMPBELL.
What Garfield Said.
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. Not
here where I see the enthusiastic
faces of 75G delegates waiting to cast
their votes into the uru and deter
mine the choice of the Republic. But
by 4,000,000 Republican friends,
where the thoughtful voters, with
wives and children about them, with
the calm thoughts inspired by the
love of home and love of country
with the history of the past,the hopes
of the future, and the knowledge of
the great men who have adorned and
blessed our Nation in days gone by.
There God prepares the verdict that
shall determine the wisdom of our
work to-night. Not in Chicago, in
the heats of June, but in the sober
quiet that comes to them between
now and November, in the silence <>f
deliberate judgment, will this great
question be settled
OUicial Vote or Oregon.
The official vote of Oregon at her
recent State election is given as fol
lows:
for Congress, Herman, Republican,... 32,820
" " Gearing, Deiujcr.it 2-3,112
Herman's majority 7,408
—Mr. Samuel Miller, well known
as the "old war horse" of the Democ
racy of this borough, authorizes us to
announce that he will this fall vote
for Harrison aud Morton, the Repub
lican nominees for President and
Vice President. 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. He
served four years iu the late war for
the Union.
—Mr. Albert L Shrader of this
place returned last week from an ex
tended tour in the West, including
the states of lowa, Nebraska aud
the Territory of Dakota, aud stopping
at Chicago and taking in the Conven
tion on his return home. He saw
while away larger snakes aud felt
bigger musq uitos than we have here,
but taking all things together says
there is no place like his old home iu
Butler couuty. The land some places
in the West is very g.»od, but in oth
ers very poor aud barren.

EfTeets of Stimulants.
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. The commencement exer
cises took place last Thursday at the
U. P. Church, and the class each and

Revs. Ray and Shauor were present
