"Principles, not Men."
The Republicans of Butler county stood
by their obligations to their manhoU, Wed
nesday afternoon, and after hearing .all
that Maj. McDowell and his friends had to
say, resolved to repudiate a nomination
made by bribery, and appoint a committee
to investigate and to confer with similar
committees appointed or to be appointed
by the other counties, fw to the proper
method of remedying the great wrong that
has been done to the party in this Con
gressional district.
The preamble and resolutions that were
adopted, after a full and oomplete hearing
of the case, are as follows :
Whkkkab, It appears by the admissions
under oath of John R. Tate,Thomas Down
ing and others, that three of the delegates
from Beaver county to the late Congress
ioual Convention held at New Castle, Pa.,
July 3d, 1890, for a money consideration,
were induced to cast their votes on the
19"» th ballot in said Convention, for the
nomination of Alexander McDowell as a
candidate for Congress in this district, and
that said three delegates received the sum
of sfijo each for their votes so cast, and
Wukbras, It appears that the nomina
tion of the said Alexander McDowell conld
not have been made on this ballot, with
out these votes from the Beaver county
deregates obtained, as is admitted by them,
through bribery and venality;
Therefore, be it resolved by the County
Committee of Butler County!
Ist, That we condemn in unmeasured
terms all such corrupt methods and means,
as appear by these admissions to have been
resorted to in this instance to secure the
pllcged nomination ol Alexander McDowell
as a candidate for Congress in this district,
demand the fullest investigation of the
matter, the punishment of all parties
thereto, found guilty of bribery and cor
ruption of delegates, and appeal to the
honest voters of the district to stamp out
these unlawful and corrupt methods, so
that our nominations may be lawfully,
honestly and fairly made, according to the
will of the people.
I id. That the admissions aforesaid, of
the parties who received the money and
coat the vote*, tbat made the alleged
nomination —whether the nominee knew of
the mean* used or not —make it patent to
everyone that said nomination was
the result of fraud, bribery and
venality; it in therefore the sense of
this committee that the nomination of
A 'exander McDowell was unfairly, unlaw
fully and corruptly made, is not binding on
the Republicans of this district, and can
not lie endorsed by them now, or at the
polls in November.
3(1. That a committee of three be ap
pointed by the Cha'rman of this commit
tee to confer with a like committee from
the other counties, and join in an effort to
cjrroct the wrong that has been done to
the Republicans of this Congressional dis
ict by the fraud, bribery and corruption
.of delegates to the late congressional con
vention ; to the end tbat an honest fair,
ii nil legitimate nomination may be made of
(i candidate for Congress in this district.
B. £. DBHHWOK, Ch'n.,
F. Y. BROOKS,
N. MOVRK.
About forty members of the Committee
were present when the Chairman called it
to order, and stated the object ofthe meet
ing,and the room was crowded with others
who took an interest in the proceeding.
Dr. Dennison opened the proceedings by
a plea for honesty in politics and wound
up by saying that no honest man can ac
cept a nomination procured by bribery.
Dr. Peters of Centerville said we oome
here to do what was right, he said all
Mercer Co, waa for McDowell, and oiitio'v
ed tho action of Beaver Co.
Dr. Dennison moved for a committee of
three men in resolutions, which carried
and the Chairman appointed B. B. Denni
son, Dr. Brooks and J. N. Moore, who
retired to another room.
There was some talk a* to the propriety
of hearing the Mereer Co. delegation, and
among the outsider* who spoke up, was
Simeon Nixon, wh o thought the Mercer
Co. men sliou'd have the decency to go
home, but the general fta ,! ng was in favor
of hearing them, after the committee on
resolutions reported. When they did re
port, and their resolutions were read, a
motion to hear them carried and Maj. Mc-
Dowell was the first to speak.
□e began by say ing that he was not
here asking for Mercy, but for Justice.
He reviewed the New Castle convention
and said he was fairly nominated on the
19th ballot. He was again nominated on
the 105 th and, a« fur as he was concerned,
without money or prtce. Qe did not pay,
is not to pay, and mill pay no money for
the nomination.
He wants justice and a committer of in
vestigation. Mercer county win j o j„ j n an
investigation and if any smoke i* found on
his garments he step down and out.
He was followed by Samuel Miller, ESIJ.
of Mercer, who hoped the Committee
would take such action as would harmon
ise the party, spoke of the probable impor
tance of a single vote in the next Congress,
of hasty and ill advised action, of the
weakness of the evidence, of the effort to
blast McDowell'* reputation without a
trial. He wa* in favor of investigating the
matter to the bottom and in Rood faith,
and bowing to the decision of the Commit
tee. He said the Co. Com. could not re
pudiate the nomination, that was for the
conference that made it. and Maj. Mc-
Dowell wanted an opportunity to clear his
skirts.
A motion to vote on the resolutions sep
arately carried, and then the convention
called for Col. Sullivan, who was present
to make some remarks.
Mr. Sullivan said he had no desire to
speak and expected to be a spectator, but
would say a few words. The committee
were summoned together under extra
ordinary and unusual circumstances. The
people had learned with surprise and in
dignation of this bribery. They had read
the sworn statement of one of the delegates
and the admissions of the others. The
Mercer Co. gentlemen overlooked the im
portant fact that the purity of the ballot
box and our primaries must be kept above
suspicion, if wo expect the support and
and confidence of the people. Our highest
loyalty to onr party is honest
aud the irreproachable character of our
candidates. Candidates nominated by
bribery cannot be supported. We cannot
enter the campaign confronted with the
charge of fraud. He was sorry foi Major
McDowell, but the committee should hesi
tate long belore putting its stamp of ap
proval on admitted corruption.
James M. Galbreath, Esq., was then (wil
ed upon. He agreed * ith Col. Sullivan in
his remarks, voted in the Convention to
make Major McDowell's nomination unan
imous, but the nomination was made by
tho use of money and could not be ap
proved. He did not accuse Mr. McDowell
of bribery, and regretted the wrong
done him, but the facts were ad
initted and could not be questioned.
Fraud vitiates everything it touches, and
it will not do to adopt it in polities. The
nomination was by fraud and no Republi
can can afford to place on that nomination
t'.e stamp of his approval.
Both gentlemen made good speeches
and were congratulated.
The question was then called, the reso
lutions were read separately, and each one
was adopted without a ("ssenting voice,
and also as a whole, and the convention
adjourned.
What Beaver Co. Did.
At the meeting of the Republican county
committee of Beaver Co. last Saturday
after noon, tho following resolution watf
offered and passed by a vote of 47 to 7.
"Whereas, It is admitted that the
nomination of Maj. Alexander McDowell
for member of Congress from the Twenty
fifth district is the result of corruptior
venality and fraud; be it
"Resolved, That the Bepubljcan Com
mittee of Beaver county does hereby ex
press its condemnation of the means
whereby the said nomination was made
and does hereby repudiate the same.
•■Resolved" That the Chairman of the
County Committee and two persons to be
appointed by him be a committee to oonfer
with similar committees appointed, or to
be appointed, by the county committees of
the several counties of this Congressional
district, with a view of nominating a can
didote for Congress at the ensuing
election.
"Resolved, further. That the County
Committee approves the action of Dr.
David McKinney, Jr., in making informa
tion against those persons confessing
to corruption and publicly accused of
bribery at the late Congressional conven
tion, and hereby tenders to him all necces
sary aid to effect a successful prosecution
of them."
Those who voted "No" were J. J. David
son, of Beaver; John Berry, of Baden;
William Shaner, of Beaver Falls; L. L.
Carson, of Beaver Falls; Henry Mornock.
of North Sewickley twp.; Albert Lyon, of
Ohiotwp.; R. L. En ing. of Raccon twp.
A motion was made to mako this vote
unanimous, aud in the \ iva voce vote that
was taken there wore a few calls of "No"
Ex-Congressman 8. H. Miller, of Mercer,
wa« on hand and wanted to make a speech
in behalf of Maj. McDowell, bnt con'd not
get a hearing. He was told it would be
useless to try and did not enter the place
of meeting. Mr. Miller said in an in
terview: "What I desired to nay was
that if the charges of bribery were brought
home to Maj. McDowe" directly or in
directly, or remotely, that he would step
down. I have positive assurances that
Maj. McDowell neither directly nor in
directly, by himself or any other person,
paid any consideration or promised any
consideration, for his nomination. I am
further positively assured that he did not
know that anything, or any consideration
either, was to be paid, or was paid, to
secure bis nomination, and tbat the first
intimation be had of any such, was the
publication made in the papers since the
nomination. If the other counties take
similar action gkiui give Marcer county Re
publicans no opportunity to be heard, my
personal belief is tbat Mercer county «ill
support MpDpwell. Our people are a t»"H
for him."
Dr. McConnell, iu an interview, said the
resolutions meant that Beaver county
would insist on another nomination, and
tbat if Maj. McDowell remained in the
field there wonld be two Republican can
didates for Congress.
Ej-Cougressman M ;,l er went from
Beaver to Sharon, and was in consultation
with Maj. McDowell until late at night. A
telegram from Sharon brings the informa
tion that Maj. McDowell says as tho
Beaver County Committee had refused
birn a bearing he iB now in the field
to and will not withdraw under
any circumstances. Even should a new
conference be called and make another
nomination he declares he * ill continue in
the field.
WHAT LAWRKKCB IIAT DO.
NKW CASTLK, Pa., July 20. —County De
tective Marshall, who arrested Messrs,
Tate and Shaffer, the alleged bribed dele
gates, returned home this evening. Down
ing was not at home and was not arrested.
Tate and Shaffer waived a hearing and
gave bail for the September court here.
William B. Wallace, Esq., charged with,
bribery, has not been arrested.- The Chair
man of the Republican Committee of
Lawrenca county said this evening:
"There will bo a meeting of the County
Committee either the first or second Satur
day in August to nominate a candidate for
Associate Judge, and to arrange a new
committee. I cannot say what action, if
any, the committee «ili take in this
matter."
IT is popularly supposed that the
ordinary house centipede or "thousand
logger" so often seen is harmless in its
bite, and yet a Jersey City girl, bitten by
a centipede, died in horrible agony last
week.
OCCASIONALLY something happens to
discourage elopemonts. The other day a
young Baltimore couple fled to Chicago
and had a royal good time for a week or so
enjoying their honeymoon, when one day
they were confronted with a board bill aud
they woke up to the l>al<l reality that they
were in debt and had no money. The
hard hearted hotel man hail them arrested
and flung into jail, and there they await
remittances from home.

The Original Package Bill.
Washikotox, D. C.. July 22.—Imme
diately after the reading of the journal the
voting began on the Original Package bill.
The first Vote was on the Adams substitute
defining original packages. It was lost —
33 to 115.
The House then proceeded to vote on the
House substitute for the Senate bill. The
following is the House measure:
•'That whenever any article of commerce
in imported into any State from any other
State, Territory or foreign Nation, and
there held or offered for sale, the same
shall then be subject to the laws of such
State; provided, that no discrimination
shall be made by any State in favor of 1U
citizens against those of other State? or
Territories in respect to the sale of any
article of commerce, nor in favor of its own
products, against those of like character
produced in other States or Territories.
Nor shall the transportation of commerce
through any State be obstructed except by
the necessary enforcement of the health
laws of such State."
As the voting progressed it was evident
that the resnlt was very doubtful and great
interest was manifested. At the end of the
first one the affirmative had a majority of
one, and at the end of the second call that
majority was neither increased or'diminish
ed. Then came changes of votes. Fully
two dozen changes were made, and in the
alterations the affirmative came out
triumphant, the vote being announced as
yeas, 109; nays, 94. Then Mr. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, who had changed his vote for the
purpose, moved a reconsideration. Mr.
Frank, of Missouri, was promptly on his
feet with a motion to table that motion.
The motion to table was agreed to—yoas,
118; nays, 95. The motion then recurred
on the passage of the Senate bill as amend
ed. It was passed—yeas, 176; nays, 38.

death. The funeral services were held at
the house, and were conducted by the Rev.
W. E. Oiler, in the presence of a large
gatheriug. The interment was at Uniun
ville, where the services were conducted
by the Rev. Williams. The funeral was
attended by the Knights of Pythias and
the J. S. Campbell Hose Co., as he was a
member of both, and the pall bearers were
selected from the firemen.

Butler Co., in October of ISC!, and was the
son of Robert Russell, dee'd. At the earir
age of thirteen, he joined the Muddycr**k
Presbyterian Church, under the pasturage
of Rev. Williams. He was educated at
Witherspoon, and read medicine with I*r.
Holman. and was about to take the lee
tures when circumstances prevented. He
read law with his uncle. HOB. Charles Mi--
Candless. and was admitted to the Mr in
1886. He was married ia the latter part •><"
the same year to Mary A. McCandlests
daughter of Coulter McCandless, of Centra
Twp.
lie was esteemed for his uprightness, his
kindness of heart and the talents which
premised to place him among the most j
successful attorneys of Butler.
At the meeting of the Bar. held Satur- !
day afternoon, the following resolutions
were adopted:
"WHKRK-VS, God in His inscrutable wis
dom has seen proper to call our brother,
John M. Russell, from this world of toil
andsuffering to a better home, therefore
l>e it
Rexolred. That in the death of our yonng
I brotherwe feel that we have lout a friend
and companion whose uprightness of con
duct and geniality of disposition endeared
him.to all and whose talents gave promise
of a successful and honorable career in his
chosen profession.
Rexolred, That we tender to his bereav
ed widow and to his family our warmest
sympathies in this, their hour of deepest
sorrow.
I |Resolved. That a copy of these reso
lutions be entered upon the minutes of the
Court, that they be published in the county
papers and that an engrossed copy of the
same l>e presented to the widow and
family.
Rheumatism
We doubt If there U, or win be, a speeffle
remedy for rheumatUm; but thousand* who
hare suffered its pains hare been greatly ben
efited by Hood's Sarsaparilla. If you have failed
to find relief, try this great remedy. It eorrects
the acidity of the blood which is the cause of the
disease, and builds up the whole system.
" I was afflicted with rheumatism twenty years.
Previous to 1883 I found no relief, but grew worse,
until I was almost helpless. Hood's Sarsaparilla
did me more good than all the other medteine
I ever had." H. T. BALCOX, Shirley Village, Mass.

Who isn't interested in boots and
slioes? Who isn't anxious to know
where the best footwear can be got
ten for the least money.
Give us your attention for a few
minutes. Above all things (tear in
mind we don't sell any bat solid
leather shoes
Leatherette, which bears the same
relation to leather as does oleomar
garine to butter or shoddy to wool, is
now more frequently palmed off on
unsuspecting customers as the genu
ine article.
A few weeks (often days) wear in
variably settles a pair of leatherette
shoes, leaving vou to wonder why
yoo are so much "harder" on shoes
than your neighbor who bays his
shoes at Huselton's.
If you have never bought your
shots from Huselton do go now.
There are many new styles in shoes
this season It is impossible to
enumerate them. Patent leather tips
and it is quite the thing to have; the
heel foxing of same material; the
heels are not woru off or fraved by
the skirts, by which the shoe is given
a special attractiveness. Button
shoes will, of course, ever remain in
season and public favor.
Ladies' elegant Oxford Ties con
stitute another line even more popu
lar this summer than last. Tbey are
cool, light, cheap and handsome, with
all the different combinations. We
have Indies' tiue button shoes at $1
and $ I.2ft; tin<- at $1.50.
Men's. Boys', Youths, Misses' and
Children's best summer footwear;
goods that defy all competition. Our
men's tine shoes at sl, $1.25, $1 50,
$1.75 and $2.00 are an eye-sore to
competitors Our brogans, plow
shoes, Credemores, Bluchers,in plain
and l>ox toe, take a prominent place
in our trade.
We have everything you may
want in the shoe line and at a
straight price and we don't sell
auction or old job lots either.

PRIVATE DISEASES. jg|
On accoant of baring been Attendant Physician at Hot Spring*, Dr. McClellad has never failed to cut* a
case of Private disease peculiar to either sex, no matter of what nature or of how long standing.
UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIALS.
Major J. M. Davidson, ex-President of the I<awrence County Wool
Growers' Association, and a citizen well known in the county, freeiy gives 7
the following testimonial to the ability of Drs. Salm & McClellan. The f
Major says: "1 was suffering greatly from a Polypus aud with Inward
Piles. 1 bad tried local treatment and much medicine with no avail. I
read the advertisement of Drs Salm & McClellan and I concluded to give fW
them a trial. At their last visit to this city they declared me cured and they ij IK jUdßlw
discharged me. I (eel now like a new man. They did everything they
agreed to and treated me courteously. Tbey did me a world of good and
I have been suffering from Insomnia (Sleeplessness) and general
nervous prostration, dependent upon tLe former disease for more thau three
years. I became so weak that I would not be on my feet for an hour at a //"/[flm
time; appetite was miserable. I went to Mt. Sinai Hospital at New York '{>'■'[///uLW
| City, but without the least benefit. I put myself uuder ear* of Drs. Me- ■'
I Clellan & Salm, who visit New Castle every four weeks, and am now as \ J
well as ever, bale aud hearty, minus all defects of hea'th.

"STILL HRRU,"
Why certainly we are here. Don't yon
rememl>er we told you a year ago we were
going to stay aud don't you reiuemlier we
told you how we had been working for ten
years to reach the top of the busiuess, and
told you we were nearly there. We told
you we were not certain then whether we
were the largest dealers in our lino in this
great state of Pennsylvania. But now we
are the largest. Just think of it right here
iu Butler —the largest wholesale aud retail
carriage dealers in the whole state —well it
is true we have the largest wholesale an«'
we have the largest retail trade. We carry
the largest stock and sell cheaper than any
house in the state, the amount of busiuess
we do enables us to do so. We do not sit
around doing nothing till customers come
in then size him up aud go for all he has
we do a straight forward business aud hav
iug all kinds of grades of work we tell you
the quality you are gettiug every time.
Why just think we *<'ll the very same top
buggy for s4~> that others sell for 968, an<l
we keep also the very best hand made
buggies—we keep the best work kept by
any dealer. We have harness for and
up, also the very best hand-made harness
—in fact we are the only place you can
get a really good fine harness You should
look at our stock of surreys—the liest you
ever seen at one place iu your lite. We
had them all made for this year's trade
and they are the latest styles, ami
the finest work too—and spring wagons,
we have more spring wagons than you
could shake a stick at. Just think of it,
$33 for a spring wagon, also the very best
kind ntade; aud then the liest part of it is
you always know just what quality of work
you are getting when you buy from us.
Our rule has always been Merer mutrepri
sent and merer try to get rich off one cus
tomer. Remember we keep everything in
our line and pav strict attention. You
will always hnil ns here. We cannot
i numerate, but just think of it, the best
collar pads for fiOc, horse collars 50c and
up, carts lor $lO up. We ha-'e 12 different
kinds, lap robes for $1 that otherx 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 s2,—just the
collar (only a little better) you
have been paying $2.50 to $3.00 for. Ciood
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 isu't it? Well,
now neighbor, look here; If you just come
down and spend one hour looking through
our large stock and don't say its true as
far as it goes only not half told we will
pay you for your time—is not this fairf
Come down, it is only a little distance
from Main St. down to 35 W. Cunuiughain
St. —where we pay no rent. We want to
see and get acquaiuted with you if you
never were here before, aud if you have
l>eeu here conic and see us for we are glad
to meet old friends.
