Popular Vo'e for Governor.
As there was no existing rule requiring
K direct vote on the subject, the Executive
Committee, at its late meeting, did not
feel at liberty to order such an election.
Since then the matter has been freely
canvassed and it is believed a very large
maioritv of the Republican voters of the
county desire to have an opportunity to
exoress their preferences in this way. In
view of this fact, after consulting with all
the members of the committee we were
able to consult on the subject, we have
concluded to invite the Republicans, at the
primaries on the 24th inst. to give express
ion to their preferences for Governor on
their several ballots, by writing the name
of their choice on their tickets, to be re
turned and counted as the other candi
dates shall be counted by the County Con
vention. S. D. BELL, Chairman.

Some Remarks on the Ap
proaching Primary.
The notice which immediately precedes
this article did not reach us last week until
within a few minutes of the time for clos
ing our columns, and therefore we had no
opportunity for commenting upon it.
It was a surprise to the anti-Delamater,
anti-Ring, anti-Standard Oil Co. element of
the Republican party of this county, and
we think deserves criticism.
Chairman Bell says he consulted with all
the members of the Committee that he was
able to consult on the subject, and yet it is
known that he did not consult with mem
bers who were here at the convention of
school-directors on Tuesday, and ho did
not consult with members of the Commit
tee living in Butler. This proves that the
matter was not thought of till after Tues
day, when be, or the politicians who are
using him, received some new light as to
the political situation, and hastily resolved
upon this action, and this after nearly all
the tickets for the primary had been print
ed.
The matter of voting directly for our
choice for Governor was brought up before
the County Committee at its last meeting;
it was opposed then by the same crowd
that favor it now; it should have passed
then, but, as it was defeated, that was the
end of it for this year.
This proclamation which is now issued
over Chairman Bell's name, though it
probably originated in a mind that has
been centered on politics for a much longer
period than his, is virtually his individual
action, and he had no more right or author
ity as chairman of the County Committee
to issue it than he has to issue
another changing the time of hold
ing the Primary or mode of nominating,
and being a candidate himself it was a
very imprudent thing for him to do.
"What the object of it is one can only
conjecture. It looks as though fearing the
defeat of himself and Mr. Dindinger as
candidates in the interest of Mr. Dela
mater, and yet determined that the county
delegation should be instructed for Dela
mater, he had resolved upon taking two
chances in the matter. The "ring" vote of
the county will be united for Delaniater,
while the anti-ring vote will be divided be
tween .Stone, Hastings. Montooth and
Osborne.
Sow should Mr. Delamater L'tve a few
more votes than the next highest candi
date, and the ring men have a ninjority in
the County Committee, the Committee
might be iuduced to instruct the delegates,
no matter who they should be, to support
Delamater in the Convention, though this
also would be an irregular proceeding.
To meet this contingency all the Repub
lican voters of the county who believe in
fair play; who believe that onr candidates
f»r State offices, like those for county
offices, should stand upon their own merits,
and who do not believe that patronage and
canning—a system which is really a con"
■piracy against popular government—
should control our nominations, should
unite upon one man, and as Secretary
Stone is the first choice of the other three
candidates announced for delegate to the
State Convention, we suggest that they
unite upon bim, and as to the County Com
mittee, it will be well for tho voters of
each district in the county to see that they
are fairly represented on this question.
This done we do not {ear but that the
manhood of the party in this county, at
least, will stand for what is right.
"We do not oppose the nomination of Mr.
Delamater on personal grounds, we have
never met the gentleman nor had any com
munication with him, but we do oppose
him on the grounds that he would be a
weak candidate in the State and a positive
ly dangerous candidate for the Republican
ticket of Butler county.
The old soldiers have a grudge against
him for some alleged remarks of his regard
ing them, the farmers do not like him tor
his vote against tho grangers tax bill, and
there is a positive opposition to him in
Butler county and in every other oil-pro
ducing connty in the State, on account of
his being instrumental in defeating the
Billingsley bill—a bill intended to curb the
growing power of the Standard Oil Co. —
in the Senate after it had passed the
Hotse, he being at that time the member
of the Senate from Crawford county.
He is yet a young man, and his experi
ence in public affairs does not wanint us
in honoring him with the highest trust in
the State. He has had but one term in
the State Senate and his record is not such
as to recommend him t<? the people of the
whole State for promotion. He is a candi
date for Governor, not on his own merits
but as the pet of State Chairman Andrews,
who, with Senator Quay's patronage at his
disposal, has canvassed the whole State in
bis interest.
Supposing that Chairman Bell of this
county, having the appointment of all the
postmasters, justices of the peace, census
enumerators, etc., of the county should
make a canvass of the county for his par
ticular favorites for each of the county
• ffices, —would the party in the county
submitt Not very likely, and yet. that is
just what State Chairman Andrews is do
in the State as regards the State offices.
Of the other candidates for Governor,
Secretary Stone is perhaps the best equip
ped for the office. He has been in public
life for over twenty years; his record, pri
vate or public, caunot be impeached,
be is the idol of his neighbors up at War
ren, and he has warm friends all over the
State.
Gen. Osborne lives in Luzerne county.
He is said to be a first-class man in every
respect; he was a good soldier and he has
represented the State and his district in
Congress.
Maj. Montooth was a good soldier, and
is a popular man in Allegheny county.
Gen. Hastings is popular with the
Natioual Guard of the State, and he did
good work alter the Johnstown flood.
The delegates of all these gentlemen will
probably unite to defeat the nomination of
Mr. Delaraater, if possible; but whether ho
is forced upon us or not, Uutler county
•hould do her little to prevent it, a« we can
then reasonably expect to hold the Repub -
lican oil vote for our connty ticket, and as
we said before, the safest course for the
anti-ring Republicans to pursue is to unite
on one good man, and wo again suggest
Secretary Stone a* that man.
The Prohibition Convention.
Some fort} - delegates of the Prohibition
party of the county met in the Reiber
building. Butler, last Monday morning.
They organized by electing Rev. Breaden.
president, and Rev. McKee. secretary, and
appointing committees on resolutions and
nominations.
At the afternoon session the committee
on resolutions reported and an animated
discussion followed on the wording of the
10th resolution in which the word
"Christian" is used, but it was finally
adopted as presented.
The committee on nominations reported
two names lor each place, leaving the Con
vention to make a selection, which was
done by a rising vote. There was a good
natured contest, not to get on the ticket
but to keep off it.
The ticket nominated is as follows: Con
gress, Hon. W. P. Braham: Assembly,
Thos. C. McClintock and James WilsoD;
Sheriff, W. A. Kelly; Prothonotary, J. C.
Moore; Reg. «fc Rec., Isaac Andrews;
Treasurer, Washington Bovard: Clerk, J.
L. Carpenter; Co. Comm'rs, Rob't Mcßride
and Jacob Hutchman: Auditors, I. X.
Meals and Thomas B. White; Delegates to
State Convention. Wm. Black, Revs. Im
brie, Stiffy, Pollard, McClester, Breaden
anil McKee. John C. Kerr and H. Sheffield.
L. C. Wick, of Butler, was elected Co.
Chairman; J S. McKee, Secy: Lester Pat
terson, Ass't Sec'y, and W. J. Mont
gomery Treasurer.
The "first five resolutions refer entirely to
the liquor traffic and the old parties, the
last five are as follows:
6. That the recent decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States in
reference to the shipment of liquor in
original packages into States
confirms us in the belief that Prohibition to
be radically effectual must extend to the
whole Nation and be supported by a party
unconditionally committed to its procure
ment and enforcement.
7. We express our sympathy and will
heartily co-operate with any organization
or movement that has for gs object the
outlawing of the American saloon.
8. We appeciate the opportunity now
before the people of Nebraska and bid
them a word of Godjipeed. and will give
them a helping hand l'n their great contest.
y. We call upon the American people
to put their verdict of disapproval upon
the infamous methods furnished by the
liquor men in conducting their campaign
against Prohibition.
10. That the Prohibition party is the
only party which gives the Christian citizen
the opportunity of making his principles
his politics, and of expressing at the ballot
box his sentiments in reference to the
liqnor traffic.
It is the only partv whose principles as
expressed in its platform ure in direct
opposition to the will of the liquor power.
Tne only party whose candidates are
entirely free from all complicity with the
liquor "business. The only party whose
adherents are free from all moral respon
sibility for the continuance of the liquor
traffic, and the only party willing to suffer
defeat in the defense of prohibition, and
only willing to triumph in its success.

Tickets at half fare, plus membership fee
of $2.00, open to all. For particulars

Paul, Minn.
IN Clarion Co. where a vote was taken on
Governor, Delamater had 771, Montooth
742, Hastings 241, Stone 58 and Osborne
16, by which it will be seen that the com
bined Anti-Delamater vote was 1057 or
nearly 300 in excess of the Delamater vote,
which in a minority county was pretty
good.

Be it known:
- That J. C. Rickets, of the SlipperjTock

TEN years ago there was a contest in this
county for the nomination for Congressjone

appoinments for Census Enumerators and
tried to make political capital of
it by promising the appointment to
two or more in each district;
friends of the other " candidate sent
to Washington the week before the
Primary and got the official list of those
who had been recommended and published
it, and the candidate who controlled the
appointments didn't get the nomination.
The Grove City Fire.
Three towns within a few miles of each
other have lately been visited by dis
astrous conflagrations. Harrisville and
Centerville caught it some time ago and
early last Fridav morning, Grove City had
its tarn. The lire originated in the barber
shop of W. W. Forest ahd spread very
rapidly. The citizens worked heroically,
but the flames were beyond their control
and quickly crept from building to building
until the space between the Grove City
Bank building and the Pittsburg, Shenango
and Lake Erie Railroad, was laid waste
and was a mass of smoldering ruins.
The principal losses were as follows: M.
Rosentield, $6,000; AV. J. Harsbaw, $4,000;
H. W. Koonce,s6,ooo; *Mrs. I). 0. Court
ney, Mrs. Stein, $2,000 each; David Kerr,
W. K. Craig, W. Dligh, $1,500 each. The
other losses range front $250 to 1,000.
The insurance will cover about half tho
loss. It is not Known how the fire
originated, but it is supposed to have been
the work of incendaries.
FOR the first time in the history of the
Republican party of this state, tho rank
and file of the party aro forced to take
activeinterest in the state nominations.
This nas been rendered necessary by the
extranrdnary action of State Chairman,
Andrews in canvassing tho state for an
unavailable and heretofore unknown can
didate.

A prominent Greens burg undertaker is
authority for the statement that nearly
every case of Diphtheria at which he has
officiated the cause of death can be traced
directly to freshly-plastered buildings.
The whole east side of Main St., Foxs
burg was destroyed by tire on Saturday
night of last week, between midnight and
two o'clock a. m., the fire started in a
barber shop and spread rapidly. The loss
is estimated at $20,000, divided between

Miss Ada McCoy, of Connellsville, is
unfortunate in her lovers, or rather her
lovers are unfortunate. Marion Crowl is
now lying in prison awaiting execution, for
shooting Joseph Porter: both were lovers
of the girl, and in a fit of in-aue jealousy.
Crowl shot Porter, for which he will hang.
In the meantime another young man
named Edward McCurdy fell in love with
Miss McCoy and began to court her. On
Monday morning they had one of the usual
lover's quarrels, and McCurdy took a large
dose of opium from the effects of which he
is likely to die. lie is a freight brakeman

-STILL HERS."
Why certainly we arc here. Don't you
remember we t<>ld yon a year ago we were
going to stay and don't you remember we
told yon how w« had been working for ten
years to reach the top of the business, and
told you we were nearly there. We told
you we were not certain then whether we
were the largest dealers in our line in this
great state of Pennsylvania. But now we
are the largest. Just think of it right here
in Butler —the largest wholesale and retail
carriage dealers in the whole state —well it
is true we have the largest wholesale and
we have the largest retail trade. We carry
the largest stock and -ell cheaper than any
house in the state, the amount of business
we do enables us to do so. We do not sit
around doinp notbins till customers come
in then size him up and jro for all he has
we do a straight lorwarii business and hav
ing all kinds of grade- ot' work we tell you
the quality you are setting every time.
Why just think we sell the very same top
buggy for $45 that others -ell lor -T*►. and
we keep also the very best hand-made
buggie;—we keep the best work kept by
any dealer. We have harness for s<) and
tip. also the very best hand-made harness
—in fact we are the only place you can
get a really good line harness \ou should
look at onr stock of surreys—the best you
ever seen at one place in your lite. We
had them all made for this year's trade
and they are the latest styles, and
the finest work too —ami spring wagons,
we have more spring wagons than you
could shake a stick at. Just think of it.
$33 for a spring wagon, e' o the very best
kind made; and then the oest part of it is
you always know just what quality of work
you are getting when you buy irom us.
Our rule has always been nrr< r misrepre
sent anil never try to get rich off one eus
tomer. Kemember we keep everything in
our liue and pay strict attention. \ou
will always fiud us here. We cannot
.•numerate, but just think of it, the best
collar pads for 50e, horse collars ->oc anil
up. carts tor IFLO up. We ha ve 12 diflerent
kinds, lap robes for #1 that others sell at
$1.50. fly nets cheaper than you could
make them yourself, good kip collars tick
ing face, tufted with hair with pat fastener
on top for $2, —just the
collar (only a little better) you
have been paying $2 50 to $3.00 for. Good
hand made team harness —best oak tanned
leather, all complete for $32. You paid
S3B to S4O for the same, only yours hadn't
as good leather. Now do you think this
talk is all true or is it only an advertise
ment. It's quite a picture isn't it? Well,
now neighbor, look here; If yon just come
down and spend one bour looking through
our large stock and,don't say its true as
far as it goes only not hall told we will
pay you for your time —is not this fair?
Come down, it is only a little distance
fiom Main St. down to 35 W. Cunningham
St. —where we pay no rent. We want to
sell and get acquainted with you if you
never w ere here before, and it you have
been here come and see us for we are glad
to meet old friends.

The Grant Monument.
TO 1!E BUILT RY TFIE
LAJDIEB,
Without tii-' aiii of millionares or moneyed men.
For this purpose the Gilbert Mlg. Co. are making a spe
cial clot'i for l ilies dres ? lining, the i> for the money they
have ever placed on the market.and which can he sold at 20cts
per yard.
Now the ladies of the United States can buy enough in
six months to complete the monument, and thereby accomplish
what the gentlemen have been unable to do in six years.
A percentage of all the purchases goes into the treasury
of the Grant Monument Association. This plan enables every
lady to be able to say that she contributed something towards
ttiv? m-wlir n of this lrn-rnirm—lT.
It is a matter of history that the ladies were obliged to
come to the rescue in order to complete the monument on
Bunker Hill.
To prevent deception, we have caused the name ''Grant
Memorial Twills" to be printed 011 the selvage of every yard of
this cloth. <». P, DOKMAN, Pres.
