Phillips' Letter of Acceptance^
That Explains Tt.
Tho bargain and sale agreement between
the politicises of Mercer county on one
side and and Quay on the other, now made
publio property, explains one thing th tt
has puzzled many people who believed
Mr. McDowell when he said he had noth
ing to do with the bribery, and who won
dered why he did not promptly repudiate
a nomination brought about by such means
and trust to the generosity and sympathy
of the Republicans of tue district to unan
imously renominate him.
The Mercer ootmty men not only broke
their agreement with Quay but, more than
that, they, or others in the.interest of Mc-
Dowell, conspired against the Beaver
county candidate and purchased three of
his delegates.
This was such a dastardly violation of
tho proverbial "honor among thieves" that j
it Would not have been forgiven, and had
Mr. McDowell, alter tho expose, repudi
ated that nomination and brought about'
the re-convening of tho convention, be
could not have been renominated, and he
knew it.
In that raso the Beaver county men
would probably have supported Mr. Black,
and that support, with the one anti-Jaok
son roan of the Lawrence county delega
tion would have nominated him. Had
Mr. MeDowell throws up the nomination
he had secured he could not possibly have
secured another, unless the Mercer and
part of the Lawrence delegations brH
boited the convention.
The dishonest and dishonorable doings
of the Meroer and Beaver pcl:tioi*u* inado
a split in the porty Inevitable, and the only
true course fcr honest mm to pursue is to
support a man who had nothing to do with
it, never had anything to do with such af
fairs, and who, judging from his well
known character ani past record, never
will have.
He is now before the people ps a candi
date for Congress and his name is Thomas
W. Phillips.
ACCOBDIXO to tho article of agreement
entered into between Q"ay and McDowell,
Quay own* Bearer county, Barc Miller and
bis gang own Mercer connty. and every
body owns the Legislature of Pennsylva
nia excepting the people thereof.
IN bis speech at New Castle, a few days
ago, Msj. McDowell is quoted as follows:
"I charge that this charge of bribery orig
inated In Bearer connty; that it was part
of a plan or plot. The object was not to
purify politios, for the fountain bead of all
impurity is not far from that place."
And in his speech at Beaver Falls, Sam
Miller, McDowell's right band man, is
quoted as follow*:
"I do not know whether M. S. Quay is
in lavor of Alex. McDowell or not; but I
do know that Mercer oounty hn« given M.
S. Quay her support fn orery State content
he has ever been in, and 1 do know tbat
Alex. McDowell has been a warai and ar
dent supporter of M. 6. Qua/ f" r fifteen
years. ,f
If Alex, and Sam are oirroctly quoted,
they want to rehear** to each other before
going on another electioneering trip down
that way.

SOME POLITICAL HISTORY.
The following articlo of agreement en
tered into by men of Beaver and Mercer
counties, the day after Christmas of 1889,
five months before the timo the eounty
primaries are usually held, explains it-«Jf.
AGBRUIKKT.
"It is mutually agreed that A. McDow
ell and hia friends to Mercer county are
to rapport the candidacy of C. C. Town
send for Congress in the congressional con
ference of 1«X) by giving him the tote* of
the Mercer county eonferrees in said con
ference; and on the part of C. C. Townsend
and his friends in Beaver county, he and
they will give the support of the Beaver
county eonferrees to A. McDowell in the
conference lor the congressional nomina
tion in 1682. And if necessary to carry
out the spirit of thts agreement, McDoweU
is to be a candidate for Congress in Mer
cer county in 1890, and Townsend in Bea
ver county in 1892. And it is also agreed
the said parties and their friends are to
aid to the extent of their ability in the
other counties of the district.
"It is also agreed that in case a new
congressional apportionment is made prior
to the November election in 1892, that
Beaver and Mercer counties aro to remain
in the same district.
Beaver, Pa., Dec. 26, 1890.
A. MCDOWELL,
CHAS. C. TOWKSKKD."
Upon the back of this agreement is
written:
"We endorse this agreement,
M. 8. Quay,
S. H. MILLER.
THOS. PKBBY,
B. J. HAYWOOD."
It was not very nice or very honorable
for the men of Beaver county to enter into
suoh an agreement with the men of Mer
cer county when Butler county had favor
ed her at tho oonvention of 1988, with the
understanding that Mr. Townsend wished
for bnt one term in Congress and that Bea
ver county was to be friendly to Butler
county in 1890.
Indeed it was not the intention or idea
of the men who originated this method of
nominating a congressman for this dis
trict, that any two counties or two candi
dates should wsrk together—the idea was
that fifteen independent Republicans
should be elected in each of the four coun
ties of the district and that these sixty
Republicans should meet, confer and make
a choioe, independent of county lines, but
the county line idea came in and spoiled
the whole arrangement, and bribery, add
ed to this has pnt the party in the district in
distress.
Mr. McDowell, under -oath r at New
Brighton, acknowledged to the Investiga
ting or conference committee, the making
and existence of this written contract with
Beaver county, which is now made public
by his political enemies, they, of course,
having kept a copy of it.
Whether or no he acted honorably with
the people of his own county of Mercer in
entering into such an agreement with Bea
ver county is for them to judge, but at all
events he agreed to than he found
himself able to perforin, for he had oppo
sition in Mercer county next spriDg, anil
his opponent, Mr. Brown Jof Greenville,
secured four of the county delegates, and
whether or no he would have carried out
his agreement with Beaver had be had on
tire control of the Mercer county delega
tion is not known.
But time passed and the county prima
ries were held, Messrs. Townsend of Bea
yer, Black of Butler, and Jackson of ,Law
renoe, receiving the practically unani
mous endorsement of their respective
counties, and Mr. McDowell securing eleven
nnd Mr. Brown four] of the delegates of
Mercer county.
Some days previous to the meeting of
[ the contention at New Castle, Mr. Black,
!of this county, went to Sharon. lie had
' notified Mr. McDowell of his intended visit
and was met at the depot by him and taken
to his house. During the evoning, Mr.
Samuel Miller, of Mercer, and two other
Mercer county politicians came in, and for
three solid hours the Mercer county men
tried to induco Mr. Black to enter into a
■written agreement with them to throw the
Butler county delegation to Mr. McDowell
at the approaching convention and nomin
ate him, and they in turn would nominate
B'ack at the convention of 1892.
Mr. Black refused to enter into such an
agreement, and it is creditable to him that
he did not. He does not own tho people
of Butler county and does not pretend to.
His account of this meeting is as follows:
BLACK'S EVIDKKCK.
"Some week or ten days before tho con
vention in New Castle I took a trip
through Mercer county. I went to the
house of Major McDowell. Sometime af
terwards Hon. S. H. Miller and B. J. Hay
wood came in. "We passed tho time there
pleasantly for a while, and the coming
convention was brought up and the matter
discussed pro and con. The Mercer county
people nrged the propriety of nominating
MoDowoll for Congress this year, and the
proposition was ma-do that Mr. McDowell
only wanted one term in Congress, and if
I would turn the delegation from Butler
county over to Mercer county's candidate
and he wu nominated, that two years
hence the delegation from Mercer county
would bo thrown to Butler county, and
whatever they could do would be dono to
get me the nomination for Congress at that
time, two years hence. It was proposed
that an agreementor arrangement be put in
writing to be signed by Major McDowell,
lion. S. H. Miller, B. J. Haywood, the
Chairman of the County Committee, and
any other influential Republican in the
county that I would suggest, and to bo
signed by myself on the other part. 1 told
them that the people of Butler county had
voted for me as their choice for tho nomin
ation for Congress; that at the samo time
they had elected fifteen delegates to repre
sent tho people in the convention. I also
stated that I did not own or control nor
pretend to own or control tho delegates;
that they were elected by the people to
represent them, and I did not have the
power, even if wete so disposed, to throw
the delegation wherever I pleased, aud
would make no pretentions to do such a
thing. The matter was discussed back
and forward for a considerable length oi
time, tbey urging that such a course as
that would be proper and would make a
nomination easy aud would bring harmony
in the district.
If Is my impression tbat Mr. Miller first
made tho propositioa; but after it wns
made, it was assented to by all the Mercer
county men present. The uiatt«r was dis
cussed by all of them for some time, but
was mv own private information until 1
saw tbe statement in the newt-papers, that
some time early in the spring an agree
merit of a similar kind had been er.terod
Into between Mr. McDowell, Mr. Miller
ind Mr. Haywood with Mr. Townsen.l, by
whloh it was agreed to deliver the Mercer
delegation to Mr. Townsend. When I
read that, 1 thought it a little peculiar that
if there was an agroement of that kind in
existence, tbat thore should be such » de
sire to get an agreement with nie HO soon
before the convention, and 1 then spoke of j
it to a friend or two in our couuty, and 1
presume tbat is bow the matter " got. out,
and tbat is why, I suppose, I am sub
poenal to give this testimony."
Whether or no Mr. McDowell entered
into auy agreement with Col. Jackson is
not known, but it is reasonablo to suppose
from C<d. Jackson's course that there was
an understanding between the candidates
of Mercer and Lawrence counties.
Tho convention followed; Mr. McDowell
did not throw his delegates to Mr. Town
send and, oil account of some opposition
to Mr. Townsend in Mercer county by rea
son of unpopular post office appointments,
claimed be ooald not unless bo bad some
excuse, and in this way induced Mr. Town
send to throw him some delegates; Col.
Jackson, who also had a grudge against
Townsend for appointing a personal ene- ]
U'V postmaster at New Castle, watched his j
opportunity, and when the Beaver conuty
luen Voted for McDowell ho threw unougb
of bis meu in tbe same direction to nomin
ate McDowell on the 10th ballot; then
Beaver county withdrew ber rotes from
McDowell, and that scheme failed.
The contention adjourned and reasscm
bled and (Lagged it* weary way through
194 ballots without making a nomination,
bat on the 19.1 th, the third ballot cast that
afternoon, Mr. McDowell received enough
votes to nominate him. i. e.. h:ii own
eleven and Brown's iour, fourteen of Jack
son's and three of Townsend'*,mating thir
ty tv o in all.
The Beaver men suspected immediately
that their men had been bought, but they
acquiesced and the nomination was made
unanimous and Mr. McDowell was de
clared the regular nominee of the 25th dis
trict for Congress.
Then all went home and the matter was
talked over. In Beaver county the loose
talk of one of the purchased delegates and
his having more money than usual con
firmed former suspicions. United States
Marshal Harrah undertook to discover just
how much the delegates had been paid, and
he did it. Taking a couple of men with
him, he drove out to one of the delegate's
homes, routed him out of bed at midnight
and seared him into a confession; then fol
lowed the confessions and admissions of
the others, and Tate's affidavit making a
clean breast of the whole matter, and thin
was followed by tho publication of it, and
the public knew it all.
"What followed? Major McDowell
promptly announced that the money used
was not his; that he had nothing to do with
the bribery, and that he was a canlidate
till the polls closed in November. The
Kepublican politicians of Beaver county
talked this matter over and perhaps acting
as much in a spirit of revenge as in the
interest of "clean politics,"resolved to repu
diate this nomination, and they called their
county committee together and did it.
The people of Butler county read these
confessions, the trnth of which could not
be doubted; oar indignation was aroused;
we called our county committee together
and, after hearing what Messrs. McDowell
and Miller had to say, and answering
them, repudiated a nomination brought
about by bribery. But in our action there
was no revenge and no resentment, except
against the crime committed. Oar
county committee is an anti-Quay one and
the sympathies of the people here were moro
with those of Mercer than with Beaver
county, because the latter county had mis
treated our candidate.
We acted on principle alone. VTe abide
by onr decision, and that in the reason Mr.
McDowell to-da} finds it practically im
possible to make an impression in Bntlcr
county.
Mercer county called her county com
mittee together, and tho committee, led
by Sam Miller, took the stand that unless
the bribery could be traced to Mr. Mc-
Dowell they would stand by him. That
■wa* a deplorable stand to take, for no
matter whether Mr. McDowell hod any
thing to do with the bribery or not, that
action was setting a premium on success
ful rascality.
The Lawrence County Committo met
and divided, and is divided . to-day. Col.
Jackgon's course is the mystery of this
affair.
All the county committees appointed
delegates to an investigation committee,
which met and which was virtually made
a burlesque of by the Mercer and Lawrence
county member, and then Butler, Beaver
and part of Lawrence county went ahead
and made a new nomination.
That is a brief statement of the case,
and what is Mr. McDowell's auxwer to itf
llrst, That he hud nothing to do with
the bribery, and that tho money used wu;,
not bis money. The reply to tlint is, tliat
nobody says he had, or that it was his
money; but his being determined to hold
« purchased nomination indicates a lack of
principle that unfits him for the respon
sible office to which he aspires. Again, if
this bribery could be traced to him nobody
would ask him to throw up this nomi
nation, he would be glad to do that to
escape crimini! prosecution, and again, no
honest man would retain a bribed nomi
nation, and his course naturally creates
suspicion.
In addition to this it is known that he
expected to bo nominated on that par
ticular ballot, lie walked from the hotel
to tho convention that afternoon with Hon.
J. C. Hrown, of Grcenviile, and induced
him to give him the votes of his delegates
for the third ballot of that afternoon. Mr.
Brown's testimony to that effect is as follows:
JAMES C. BROWN'S TKBTIMOSY..
A. I live in Greenville, Mercer count}-.
Pa. 1 was one of the candidates before
the late Republican Congressional Confer
ence for the 25th District of Pennsylvania,
held at New Castlo, l'a., and remained a
candidate up till the close of the confer
ence.
A few minutes before the afternoon ses
sion of the conference was called to order
on the 3rd of July, 1890, Alexander Mc-
Dowell, who wss also a candidate before
tho conference, from Mercer county, told
mo that ho had a fighting chance to secure
the nomination on the 3rd ballot after tho
conference was called to order that after
noon, and of course desired tho full vote of
the Mercer county delegation. I immedi
ately went to some of my delegates and
told them what McDowell had said, aud
told them to tell tho others and requested
them all to vote for him on the 3rd ballot
that afternoon, and they all voted for him
on the 3rd ballot, as requested; that prov
ed to bo the final balloi, of tho conference.
y. Did McDowell indicate the impor
tance of securing the full delegation from
Mi»reer county, and accompanying his re
quest with any remark indicating his pur
pose in case of fuiluro on that ballot?
A. He said, "If I fail to make it on that
ballot, tho thiug may go to the devil. I
will mako no further effort to be nominat
ed."
y. How, Mr. Brown, do you come to
give this testiuiouyT
A. In response to a subpoena from Col.
Sullivan, the Chairman ol tho Congress
ional Committee of tho 25th Congressional
District.
Q. Did you, Mr. Brown, in any way in
dorse the nomination of McDowell at tho
close of the conference?
A. I did heartily indorse tho nomi
nation at tlio dose of the conference, sup
posing at. the timo that it had been accom
plished fairly and without Iraud and had
not thought of anything elso than to sup
port the nomination heartily until the
evidence of fra.id airl bribery wiw made
public.
Q. Have vou since. at a public meet
ing of the County Committee of Mercer
county, expressed to tho Committee your
belief thai, if the nomination of McDowell
was made by bribery it w»- invnlidf
A. I did so express myseli' before the
County Committee of Mfreer comity, when
the (jue-tion was bei;ig discussed and have
not changed ni) opinion since.
fremiti, TTo says there win no bribery;
that thin whole thing was a scheme of
M itthew Stanley Quay t" keep him out of
Congress and delcat Chris Ma goo in regard
to Home navigation company; that these
tnen wore paid for their alleged confes
sions; that Quay acknowledged to him that
tbis wus ail his doing, etc.
Well, if that is true, he has a clear case
of conspiracy against M. S. Quay, and more
tbau that, as tho intention would be to
blacken his character for life, and blast his
fondest aspirations, 1i... itself would not be
too dear a price for the schemer to pay for
his crime, but the mere fact of Mr. Mc-
submitting to such an alleged ont.
rugo proves his story untrue.
That Quay has some resentment against
him and his friends, wo hnvo no doubt —
thoy beat bini at his own game—bnt at the
same time the corruption by which he was
nominated cannot be condoned. Lincoln
said this nation could not exist half t lave
and half free, and wo say that the Repub
lican party cannot exist half honest and
half corrupt.
We beat Quay's agents in this couuty
two to one last Spring after as hot a battlo
as vOA ever fought in the county. Merier
county gave him it» delegates, as a mutter
of course. Now Mercer county has turned
against him and remonstrates with us for
apparently working with him. W« are
doing no such thing; wo are pursuing a
straight course, and if tho Devil himself
wants to go in onr direction it is not in our
place to object so long as he behaves him
self. We have, in connection with Law
rencc and Beaver counties, nominated a
clean, honorable, straightforward man—a
man who came into this connty nearly a
million dollars in debt and who worked
away till he paid off every cent; a man who
has a inind of his own and has never hesi
tated to express his sentiments; a man who
has been a large employer of labor aud has
alwaj s been just and generous with his
employees, whether in debt or affluence; a
man who has been the friend and associate
I of great men a>id who has the brains, ca
pacity, m»ral courage, industry and hon
esty to laithfnlly represent this district on
the floor of House at Washington, and to
compass and act wisely on all national
qne?,tions.
Tho Republicans of Butler county are
practically nn nirnous for him, and he
has hundreds of friends here among the
Democrats.
What bis vote in tho other three coun
ties will be. w. do not pretend to know,
but we feel confident that if the matter
was thoroughly understood by all the Re
publicans of th- district, they would cut
loose from all local prejudices, and from
all tho little Quays and big Quays in the
district, and remembering their American
manhood, and tanding on principle alone,
cast their next ballot for Congress for
Thomas W. Phillips.
THE County Committee of Mercer coun
tv meets to-morrow to fill the vacancy in
the county ticket caused by tbe resipna
tion of C. J. Law of the nomination for
Recorder.

Notice to Independent Repub
licans.
The Independent Republicans in tbe
State and County have one great object
and that is the purification and salvation of
the great Republican party in the State
and in tho Nation.
The only way to do this is bv crushing
out Bossism, Foodleism and False Leader
ship. , ..
We have, therefore, opened this cam
paign in tho interest of Robert E. Pattison.
an honest man and a good Governor; which
facts were conceded by every Republican
paper of the Slate, at the close of his ad
ministration. .
The success of Boss Quay s appointed
candidate wouid continue the eorrupt boss
at the head of ihe National Committee.
The Repub'ican papers all over the
United States, outside of Pennsylvania,
have come out so plainly against Qnay and
Quay ism that they could not give a hearty
support to the Republican candidate in
1892, with Quav as Chairman.
We arc Republicans and will support tho
Republican ticket so far as nominated, but
are fighting thi appointee of a corrupt boss,
and will work and ask every Republican
brother who loves his party and desires its
success in 181*2 to join with us in work
ing for the el.-ctiou of Robt. E. Pattison
by such an ovc .-whelming majority as will
forever crush i.ut bognism and boodleism

YOUNG. —At his home in Butler, Satur
day, Oct. 11. 1890, Rev. I>r. Loyal Yoanjr.
aged 84 years, 3 mouths and ll days.
Dr. Youug was born in Massachusetts;
was educated at Jefferson College, ash*
ington county, Pa., and at the Theological
Seminary of Allegheny, Pa. Shortly after
his admission to the ministry, in 1832. he
received a call to the Presbyterian church
of ButJer, and came here and becamo its
pastor, preaching his first sermon here and
living with and serving his people here for
a period of 3."> years. That bo labored with
and served them faithfully and well is
shown by them and all citizens who knew
him. now uniting in praise of him and join
ing in the ono opinion and expression, that
a good man has departed. His labors were
many and long, but he now rests, and all
say, "Well done, good and faithful ser
vant." ,
The funeral services over the remains ot
Dr. Young were held in the Presbyterian
church on Tuesdavafternoon last, and they
were impressive "to the greatest degree.
We have witnessed many such occasions,
but never was more impressed than on this
one. llis six sons, two ol them ministers,
were his pall bearers and bore the cotlili
with his remains into the church and
placed it before the altar. A large num
fier of grand-children and relatives fol
lowed. The number of the clergy present
was much larger than usual on such occa
sions, nearly all denominations being ropre
sented. Kev. Oiler, present pastor of tho
church, bad charge ot the order of tho ex
ercises. Kev. London read tho Scripture
lesson; Kev. McKee lead in prayer, Rev.
Jlarnish announced a hymn; Kev. Oiler
thru gave a statement of the work of Dr.
Young in and for the church during bin
services, also dwelling upon his pure life
and good name and lame as a man and as
a pastor. Tho venerable Kev. I»r. White
followed, ;.aying a feeling tribute to his
friend and co-laborer <'f many years in th.
ministry. He was followed by Kev. Loyal
Youug Graham, of Philadelphia, who catno
from that distant city to see the remains of
his old friend anu teacher and to pty his
tribute to las memory. Kev. Graham's ad
dress was eloquent an.'l tender, his closing
farewell apostrophe, looking down upon
the remains, being exceedingly touching.
Kev. W. O. Campbell, of Sewickley, l'a.,
followed and also paid a tender and beau
tiful tribute to his old friend and early in
structor. The pare character and pious
life of Dr. Young were well told by Kov.
Campbell. Kev. Barnett, of "Washington
College, Pa., closed the tributes with a
few but very appropriate remarks. In all
these addresses one feature of Dr. Young's
character was emphasized—that it. had uot
a single fault or blemish; that he was
never known to utter a harsh word of or
to be in anger towards anyone; that his
mind was so evenly balanced and well tem
pered as to offend none.
After these tributes Kev. Prugh gave out
the closing hymn and Rev. Graham pro
nounced tho benediction. Tho remains
were taken to tho North Cemetery, where
they now lav, in the place and town which
Dr. Youug loved above all other places,
and where he desired to die and to bo
buried.
It should be stated that Dr. Young was
an author of much ability. His commen
taries on the books of Kcclesiastes and
Proverbs in the Bible are regarded as
works of great merit, and his little book
entitled "From Dawn to Dusk," which is a
review of his life work, is much prized by
all so fortunate as to possess a copy of it.
