ABE you in favor of "boodle" politics or
"clean" politics? If you favor the latter
you can consistently vote for Thomas W.
Phillips.for Congress.
A Soldier Speaks.
A New Castle soldier write' as follows:
I am a soldier, and beheve tLat ull thing"
being equal a soldier should be preferred
in tbe dispensation of political gifts. But
in practice, at laast. we scarcely ever ex
pect to «ee a Republican soldier vote for
a comrade on tbe Democratic ticket; or n
Dcmrerratic soldier vote for his comrade on
the Republican ticket.
"Just now an eXirt is baing mide by a
'small coterie' of soldier politicians to in
duce soldiers to vote for Major McDowell
for Congress, simply becau-u McDowell
was a noldier. Suppose McDowell were a
Democrat, would these soldiers ask other
comrades to support bimf Now it is ail
v*ry well for Republican soldiers to sup
port Major McDowell, if tbey conscientious
ly believe Major McDowell's nomination U
free of fraud or bribery. But suppose
some of these soldiers believe tbe nomina
tion to have been bought, and that the
nomination is invalid—what tben? Does
it necessarily follow that all soldiers must
or should vote for a soldier whose person
al record is not above criticism > r whose
nomination is secured by bribery t These
soldiers sh on Id remember that this saiao
Major McDowell did all he could live year
ago to defeat tbe Republican nominee for
Congress, and bclned to elect Noriuan Hall,
a Democrat; and just recently be came
down to New Castle and took an active
part against a soldier, Chairman ot the
County Committee. He did not hesiuu
then to oppose a soldier who had served all
tbrougb tbe war, and in every important
battle of the Army of the Potomac. He
even went so far as to declare ia the pre*
ence of two of tbe most reliabie persons in
this county, that be bad seen a letter which
be caid the said soldier candidate hod writ
ten, in which it was stated that McDowell
must withdraw; when, in fact, n> bo bus
since admitted, be never saw any such lei
tor. And tbis McDowell is tbo m*n this
ooterio of soldiers wonld have their com
rades vote for ! Soldiers who stood for the
'eternal right'a quarter of a century ago,
ought not, and tbey will not, permit "them
selves to bo taken in with such appeals i..
come from these political soldier politicians.
Bribery i« fraud, it is treason against tbe
best interests of this government, whi'-h
soldiers, in common with all good citizens,
cannot afford to endorse by voting for a
soldier,simply because he wa* a SoJuier."

Different Opinions.
TIJH friends of Major McDowell (.which
in tbis county means every Republican
voter) need not feel discouraged. Law
rence county is a-booming for him, Beaver
is working to put him at the head of the
poll, and even in tli e soap-mints the town,
ships on the Allegheny river are all rijht.
Harrisville, Prospect and hundreds of other
places ate "gunning" for tbe man who is
against the gallant major.

IT is said Uiat Mr. Gillespie, the Demo

Their Program.
The program of the Mercer county crowd
of politicians was rather comprehensive,
and may be stated thus:
1. A written agreement with Quay to
; renominate Townsecd, ?•> that Beaver
| county would not come to Butler.
| 2. A written agreement with Black to
I nominate McDowell this year and Bla. k
I in "92-
3. A written or verbal agreement with
Lawrence county, offensive and defensive.
Tbe first was signed but not carried out,
and Black would not agree to the second,
but the third was worked for all it was
worth, Kid with the aid «»1 tbe money that
purchased the three Beaver county dele
gates won a temporary victory.
Tbe Quay-McDowell article 01" agreement
and Black B evidence should be kept be

BLACK'S EVIDENCE.
"Some week or ten days before the con
vention in New Castle I took a trip
through M rcer county. I went to th»*
house of Major McDowell. Sometime af
terwards II a. S. 11. Miller -ad B. J. Hay
wood came in. We passed the time then*
pica-auiiy for a while, and the coming
convention was brought up and the matter
discussed pro and con. Tbe Mercer count;
people nrged tbe propriety of nominating
McDowell for Congress tbis year, and th<
proposition was made that Mr. McDowell
<» r ilv wanted one term in Coneres 3 , and il
I would turn tbe delegation from Butler
county over to Mercer county's candidate
and be vra.' nominated, tnat two year
hence the delegation from Mercer county
would be thrown ui Butler county, and
whatever they could do wonld be done U
get me tho nomination for Congress at that
time, two yenr« hence. It proposed
that an agreement or arrangement bej.ut in
writing to i>o signed by Major McDowell,
Hou. )S. H. Miller, B. J. Haywood, the
Chairman of the County Committee, and
any other influential itepnblican in the
county that I would imggest. and to be
signed by* myself -on the other part. I told
them that the people of I'utler county bad
votod for me as th«-ir choice for the nomin
ation for Congress; that at tbe same time
they had elected fifteen delegates to repre
sent the people in the convention. I also
statod that I did not own or control nor
pretend to own or control the delegate -:
that they were elected by the people t«.
represent them, and I did not bavo the
power, even if were so disposed, to throw
the delegation wherever I pleased, and
would make no pretentions to do such a
thing. The matter was discussed back
and forward for a considerable length oi
time, they urging that such a course a.-
that woufd bo proper and would make a
nomination easy and would bring harmony
In the district.
It is my impre'.-ion that Mr. Miller lirst
made the proposition; but after it wa
rn ade, it was absented to by all tbe Mercer
county men present. Tho matter was dis
cussed by all of tbcin for souie time, but
was my own jirivate information until I
saw the statement in the newsp ipers, that
some time early in the sprinir an .i"r •
ment of a eiuiifar kind had been entered
.lito between Mr. McDowell. Mr. Mil!'-.'
and Mr. Haywood with Mr. Townsend, bj
which it wa agreed to deliver the Mercer
delegation to Mr. Town nd. When I
rend that, I thought it a little peculiar that
if there wax an agreement of tbnt l iud ir.
existence, that there shonld be s-ueb a dn
sire to get an agreement with me so soon
before the convention, and 1 tben »poke of
it to a friend or two in our county, and I
prcsun:e that i. j bow the matter got out,
and ibat is why, I suppose, T am sub
potnaed to give tiiis testimony."
A ZELIESOHI.K Kcpublican writes as fol
lows: "The character of T. TV. Phillips ii
irreproachable, it needs no defense from
me or any one. lie is well known by
macy of our citi/ens, and bis intercom e
with them, with the aid rendered many ol
them, endeared him to each, and many
of oiu citizens, though dilf' rjig with him
politically, will ert ibeir vote and in
fluei.ei ior him. They .'ay they know Mr.
Phillips aud will gladiy vote for their
friend. Said seven.l Democrat-, If v. e can
not trust Thomas Phillips, whom can we
trust?' Ho is unostentatious, and when
you meet him be greets you as an equal
and not in the spirit of a superior, tt'e
have bad business transactions with Mr. T.
W\ Phillips, and can say we believe
his word is as good as his bond. Butler
county will give Thomas Phillips a lurgei
vote tuan has been cart for any member of
Congress lor a number of years,, and we
think Lawrence county will i member her
duty to one of her abler,t and be. t citizens.
Let the silent arbiter, the ballot, put to
shame tbe commercial portion ol our parly,
aud teach them that, while there are a few
men in all parties who will re-'.rt to any
means to gtin their desired object, the
rank and file uau no! and w ill not submit
to such dictation.
An v man who had any doubts as to
whether or no tbe three Beaver county
delegates received that money should be
convinced that tbey did by tbeir last state
incuts and affidavits.
They do not deny receiving tho 1P650
each, but tbey or tbe fellow who did the
writing and who was undoubtedly a law
yer, draw the fine lettal point that tbe re
ceipt of tbe money was not their motive
for voting for McDowell, that McDowell
wti* their second choice and that they
would have voted for him without tin
further indncoment of iHwO each, as soon
in Towusend'* chances for the nomination
vanished. To sustain a charge of bribery
in court it mui-.t be shown that tho money
or other valuable that changed hand
wa» the motive for the action, and that
ia what tho attorney who wrote the aII:-
davits wae trying to disprove. Tbo«oi la.-l
•Jfidavits of tho throe Beaver county dele

yet bi-en published in connection witu this

Lee's Sketch of Phillips.

his friend. Thos. VT. Phillip;!, whi. b. after

i "When General Garfield receivou toe

public-an. Mr. la>d aside hi* u>i
ness and contri' uted bis entire time nnt;l
election in behalf of bis friend ar.d t s.e
pirty. His efforts during the campaign
look" a wide range.
First, he conceived anti planned . ■
Republican text-book for the campaign of
I*Bo, written by B. A. Hinsdale. He as
M-. t d in compiling its materials and b<
came its financial backer. It covered tbe
whole field of information necessary to tbe
contest more comprehensively-, thorough
ly and t oneisely than any book before pre
duced in amy political campaign. In
speakins of campaign book;- tuc l ' es -
pltced this at the head of the li.it.
In the early part of July, before t,.e
campaign opened. Mr. Phillips .went to the
State of Indiana and planned and put into
operation force# which told with such
marked effect upon the results of bo.h State
.and general elections that be has been
jnsth" accredited with having done as much
at least, as any other one individual by
personal effort to secure the sucees of the
Republican cause in that important i-'ate.
Although never aspiring to. but always
doclininir office, he neverthele has as a
private citizen taken f*n oiiu ac
live inteu-st in tie welfare of his party
and contributed liberally of li: J t.nie am.
iroan.« to itf sucees.-. fiv bis efforts :u tae
campaign of 1880 bt was brought into such
prominence that in the Senatorial r-ontesi
which followed in the Legislature ot I enn-
Frlvania his name frequently appeared
among tho?e who were likely to be taken
! as a compromise to end the ior.g struggle,
and he repeatedly received votes in the open
| convention of both Houses. liau he been
chosen, such was his influence with 1 res
ident Garfieid and bis well known concil
iatory character that tbe war of factions
which followed might have been averted
a.„ 1 the v, hole course of political events
changed.
In every movement for the protection or
improvement of the important industry <
producing petroleum Mr. Phillips has taken
in active and leading part. In 1806 he
was largely instrumental in ?ecuringthe re
moval of the direct internal revenue tax or
oil of one dollar per barrel. In he wu*
placed at the head of a committee to op
n<,>B a direct tax upon oii well rigs of ?1,
000, or the alternative tax upon oil of ten
rents per barrel.
In th' rec.-rit movement undertaken by
th<* producers of petroleum to limit pro
duction to enable tbe extensive stock of oil
in tanks to be reduced, by being refine*,
instead of wasted, and to put the industry
upon a permanently better footing, he was
'.be acknowledged the chosen leader.
The undertaking was eminently su(>ce.->-
faL He refused to go into thi-? movement
to enrtaii operations unb - "me provision
va 4 Diiitic to compensate and protect the
labor engaged in the industry, and ! r t.
purpose the profit whicli wonld accrue dur
ing the year upon two million barreia <»1
oil was *et apart.
Prom this oil a lurgcr sum was re .luert
and distributed to tbe labor engag* ' n the
oil bnsine s than v.er.t to '' producer
themselves Tbis is the fim time in the
history of any bu=inc. - t. it tbe u-^ation
of operations was accompanied with uch
just «nd ample provision for the labor cm
ploye l. On account or the facts narrated
above there i» no man, and thin can be
aid without to • there, who
has so large ana enthusiastic a follow .ng ,
in all the counties where oil i.-> produced.
Mr. Phillips' burinefs career has been
remarkable, both for its success and f<?r tbe
tenancity of purpose displayed. It was,
however, attended with one great reverse,
which would have appalb-d a b'-- coura
geous man, but which only served to bring
out tbe strong character of tbis Just
prior to the unfor ecn panic of 187.'! the
lirin bad bought largo tracts <d' oil land,
with deferred payments, upon the ba "n of
the prices paid for oil, which was over
■),>r i.irrej. The panic aud the discovery,
..■;out tlic -aine time, of prolific producing
oil fields depreciated tbe price of oil to 40
•nt , '-r i.arrcl. and correspondingly the
land tbey bad purchased, and involved the
lirm in a debt which may be stated, in j
round number.-: at ball a million of dollars.
They w ere repeatedly urged by friends
to discharge this debt by certificates in
bankruptcy, and the specious plea was em
ployed that thin would not prevent their
■ ib - qucntly paying it if they became able.
This tbey declined to do, saying tbey
would pay the debt and interest, and with
indoimnabb- energy renewed tbe bn-;ne
■ f producing oil upon a vast scale and jilan
exclusively their own. Tbey made good
this promise to their creditors, paying
them, with tbe interest added, in the
neighborhood of eight hundred thousand
dollar . la thi -diorl -pact of fifteen year
they not only accomplished this herculean
debt-paying task, but accumulated a for
tune which may !>■: ;.fely estimated at a
miliion dollars. It was the payment oi
tbeir indebtednes-v which wan the in-p riug
motive of ull their en<rgv aud plan-. The
business was organized and conduced on a
a-ia eommeii urate v.ith tiieir debt. '1 he
fortune necessarily followed its payment.
It is not strange that Mr Phillips ha-: the
unbounded cenlideuoe and esteem of all
who know him. To sum tip tbis sketi-h it
may be suid in brief tii.it ho is a man of ra
niarkalde e .ecutivo ability, po. nesscd of a
.rong, vigorous, logical mind, w'itb great
powers of generalization, large intellectual
attainment , untiring industry and tin
swerving integrity. JAMES W. LKK

An Ohio View of the Mailer. |
Froin the Akr >n, 0., toon.
Among the foremost in importance or
the Congressional contests iu the whole
country is that which is cow on in the J>th
Pennsylvania district. It is especially in
teresting because it is the district .n
whi.-h the home of the chairman of the Re
pv blican National Committee is located,
and of very great importance to the Re
publican party on account of the principle
involve! In" May last, the Republican
convention of that district, represeutinp
the counties of Beaver. Lawrence, Mercer
ar.il Butler, lying alongside the Ohio luie.
nominated fur Congress Major McDowell,
of Sharon. Bnt soon after the members of
the convention had departed for their
homes, it became known that the grossest
practices of corrupt politics bad been used
to make the nomination possible, although
it is very doubtful at this distance whether
Major McDowell was in any way personal
ly responsible for what was done. Dele
gates openly confessed that they had re
ceived handsome sums from "some one in
return for casting their votes for McDowell.
It was later found that at least $2,200 had
been placed among members of the con
vention in the interest of that gentleman s
nomination, lie. however, disclaimed ail
knowledge of the bribery. It was bribery
nevertheless, aud bribery, too. to vote for
McDowell; therefore the majority of the
county committees aud the leadinc am:
and most uprig t Republicans ol tbo dis
trict rightly concluded that i<u this account
the nomination was not in accordance with
the expressed * ill (if the party aiid that a
new nominating convention should be held.
Accordingly, the committees issued a
call for what i: nown locally as the Har
mony convention, which was held three
weeks ago. Hon. T. W. Phillips, who
was prominently mentioned last Spring lor
the Republican nomination for Governor of
Pennsvlvauia, but declined to be a candi
date, was urge, by the anti-corruptive ele
ment, to accept iha nomination. No better
representative of purity in politics and the
highest type of American manhood could
have been louud in the district. Mr.
Phillips was for many years one ol the
most intimate of President Garfield s
iriends, ar.d po esses in a large degree the
breadth of mind and the lofty ideas o,
Ohio's great and honored son. Although
a wealthy man himself, Mr. Phillips ha
been a true aud generous friend of the pub
lic. Naturally then the people of the liT.tli
Penns)'vania di trict turned to him who
had been their friend in times past aud
asked him to lead them in their war
against the political corruption and cor
rcptioniatK that threatened not only the
party in that d. triet with ruin, but al.-o
promised to ca.-'. a baneful iDflneuce over
all the country.
KTCU many pr<im in ent Democrats. *
believe in pure, und above-board
dealing* in politic™ so regard the matter,
and ha\ e gone :nto tue campaign for
Phillipr. The jlppublicauH of the 20th
Pennsylvania di.irict should understand
that their decision in this matter will be
watched by the .Nation, and that the result
of this campaign will have an influence as
wide a* the limit s of the United Slates.
Let them decide whether it shall be for

A First. Degree Verdict.
In the criminal court of Allegheny coun

accused of the murder of Mrs. Rudert, of
Tarentum, returned a verdict of murder in
the lir.-t degree.
The jury decided upon this veri ict b -

torney Johnston and the prisoner's attor

Thomas M. Marshall, Jr.. had already as
sembled. On his way to the court room
Killian remarked to Jailer Irvine that he
would rather it would be a lirst than a -cc
ond degree verdict, a- he preferred hanp
ing to goine back to the penitentiary. Hi
took a seat between his attorneys, and
waited with a paled face foi the word
which he certainly fe.t must seal his .1 m.
W hen Tipstaff Oehmler formally opened
the court. Clerk McGnnnigle asked the
jury tiie customary question —:i they had
agreed upon a verdict. The laconic an

say yon. guilty or not guilty?"
"Guiltj of murder in the first degree,"
they replied. Foreman James Fiiilhps
then arose and. with tears streaming down
his cheeks, said: "We lind the defendant.
Alexander Kil'i'in, guilty of the felony a
indicted." Judge Magee, after examining
the verdict, excused the jury and the pri.-
ouer was remanded to jail to await sen
