That is not iruc. Wcsa'.d 'hat we feel assured that he will pi t'n or tbe Repub lican vote of this comity, and so ve do. The Repubt'ca-js oi tV.s county re pudiated tbe nomination of Mr. McDowell becanso it was pnrcbased with money; and as Mr. McDowell determined at the outset to remain a candidate till the polii closed in November, it is within tbe bounds of reason to teke it tor granted that he was privy to t'ne bargain and s-10. On the other hanJ, we assis eU in the nomination of Mr. Phillips aud it is now our duty to support him to tlie best of our ability. His private chaiae.ee is above suspicion, bis political record is creditable, and this nomination went to bioi gratu itously and unanimously. The Republics of Butle- Co. are sup porting Mr. Phillips ia tbo interest of poii L ical onriiy and party intemity; they aro not governed in this matter by any local prejudices; audihose Republicans ot Mercer and Lawrence count'es who yet be lieve it to be their duly to support Mr. Mc- Dowell can not reasonably find w.th ns for tho stand we take iu this matter. We havo had ono disia -'teful nor''nation forced upon ns this snmaier, and as we can not bettor thatnoinination by nominat ing another man with any hope of electing him, it will have to »Uuid, but Mr. Phillips can be and should bo elected, acd we be lieve it to be tb? duty of e rery Republican in tho district to support him.

The Next Governor's Visit to Butler. The ne*t Governor of Pennsylvania was in Batler this week, —there is no donbt ol that in the ordinary course of events. Hon. G. W. Delamater, the Republican candidate for the office, was billed to be here on Saturday last, at 2 p. m., but a mishap on the railroad caused a delay, aud his car did not arrive within the limits of the town until after 5 o'clock, and he then had to hurry through to meet his engage ment at Kittanning for that evening. However, some Butler men met bim at the depot and rode down to Freepoit with b'T5, and he promised them to come back to Bailer, Tuesday evening, even though that would necessitate his breaking en gagements for a town or two in the South western part of the State, and he kept bi promise. He arrived hero Tuesday evening, and was met at the West Penn depot by a Isrge number of people with carnages, horses, torches aud fire-works, and was conducted to the Opera House in good style. The crowd filled the House to overflow ing. Chair-ran Huselton called the meet ing to order; Newton Black, Esq., e'ecied president, and quite a number oi prominent Republicans of the town named as V'ce-piesidonts. Then Mr. Black in a neat little speech introduced the guest of tho evening. Hon. G. W. Delamater, who spoke for over an hour. Be said he had passed five years of his life in Butler Co.; had predicted its fuiuro wealth and prosperity, and had met many good men in this county. He thank ed the people for bis enthusiastic welcome as the represeJtai'Ve of tho Republican parly of Pennsylvania; said that tho wealth and piosnerily of ihe State was duo to Republican wise government; that our opponents weie brushing aside National questions in this campaign, and resorting to personal attacks, i>ut the Republicans wonlu make on aggress've campaign: we woald insist that National quesiious aro perilneut now end woeld challengo all is claiming a great deal, and Emery's effoit. which had been waited for by the Democrats, was nothing but an X. Y. Z. affair and a pop-gun esp'osion; Pattison was following his example in go >uau been at it for eight weeks; ho bad ente-ed the lists as a candidate and is afraid of no man in Penn'a; his distinguish ed opponent spea';s of "Home rule, self government and e'ean politics.'' the Re publican pai iy was founded on tho first iwo, which mean tho same thing, and as for clean politics he refered the people to the Democialic administrations of New York City and Cincinnati; Chauncey Black sivd he (Delamater) was not nominated act "appointed," while no man had fought so long and so ba d for a nomination as be ha"., uud be does not assume to be any b'ng of running. The conferees of the 20th Congressional district adjourned Pa., Fri day, with the dead-lock continuing; and those of the 10th district at "Williamsport, same day, under same circumstances. There is only one remedy for these •'dead-locks,'" aud one preventive of fraud - ' uicat and unfair nominations and that is ! tho Popular Vote. ' MR. DELAMATBK made A letter speech ; here.
