Vote for Thomas W. Phillips.
The Republican Convention of the 25th
District of Pennsylvania, which met a;
Harmony, Butler connty, on the 23d day
of September, unauimonsly nominated
Thomas W. Phillips of Lawrence county,
a s the Republican candidate for Congrc
in this District. He is the only regularly ,
and honestly nominated Republican can
didate for Congress in the field, and to bis
support we earnestly invite all good
citizens.
We are on the eve of one of the mos'
important Congressional elections eve
held in Pennsylvania; one in which much
more than the usnal inter<-»t- are involved,
one which is attracting the attention of
every thoughtful citizen of the Common
wealth a* involving decisions which are
vita); one in which will be declared to the
people of the State the deliberate judg
ment of the honest and intelligent voters
of this district upon the worth of the great
safeguard of our political institutions
honest elections and a pure ballot box. It
is to be declared at this election whether
we mean, as Republicans, v. I at we have
always loudly professed, that at the very
foundation of our political taitb, honeßl
and fair elections must have the most
sacred place.
The Issue presented to the voters of this
district in the coining Congre-«ionsl elec
tion ia one of the gravest charaeter. It is
nothing more or less thau wbetiier honesty
in our nominations shall be approved and
endorsed, or dishonesty condoned and re
warded.
The time ha# long since panned when the
question vu an open one for discission —
whether an alleged Republican nomination
for Congress at New Castle a few months
a h* wan a fair and honest oue. Tho lips of
tie defender* of that nomination should be
sealed by the sworn confession and openly
published admissions of the bribed dele
gates in that cony en lion, who, against
their personal interests, testified that they
had been bribed to vote for that nomina
tion, which could not Bavo heen mode on
tho nominating ballot without their rotes.
Theso confessions and admissions have
been under the public eye for month-- with
out successful contradiction, and they have
passed under the careful examination and
revision of tbo highest judicial tribunal of
t his district, leading to the deliberate de
cision of that tribunal, after patient hear
ing, that these bribed delegates should be
held to answer therefor at the next session
of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Law
rence county. When brought to the bar Of
justice it is expected these bribed delegates
will, as criminals usually do, plead "not"
guilty." Their advisers greatly underesti
mate the intelligence of the honest and in
corruptible voters of the 25th district if
they suppose that the publication of this
plea of "not guilty" in tho newspapers be
fore they are placed on the docket for trial
will weigh a particle in mitigation of their
guilt. Criminals are not tried in Pennsyl
vania in this way.
Whilst the "not guilty," a* a newspaper
plea before election, will a\ ail nothing tie
fore a court of justice for the acquittal of
the accused more than other new. paper
assertions, the exhausting of the whole vo
cabulary of Billingsgate and abuse upon
the defenders of an honest and pure ballot
box in this district will weigh as little. It
is a matter of regret that gentlemen whom
we have been accustomed to regard a.shon
orable in all the relations of life, through
misguided zeal and uncurbed temper
" should fcavc been betrayed into a .public
defense of a great wrong iu language so
discreditable as to recoil with power on
those who publish and eirculat e it.
The honest voter who survey :t the whole
field cannot but recognize tho met that
there is now before the people but ono reg
slarly, honestly and fairly nominated Ro
publicau candidate forCongrc-s in this dis
trict, and as sueb, that candidate, Thomas
W. Phillips of Lawrence county, has a
right to expect the support of the Repub
lican* of this district, and we would invoke
the aid of all good c itirens without regard
to party to aid in his election. Our can
didate u eminently worthy of the office for
which be has been named. Mr Phillips is
a man of high moral and Christian thara"
ter, of brains and culture, »u i of wide
business experience; tbo friend and helper
of the toiler and the belpb ss, an earnest,
thoughtful student of all the prresr question"
of tLo day, one of the foremost represen
tative men of the great industries of oar
district, Industries which imperatively de
mand representation on the Honrs of Cou
grem.
Wc hail the auspicious sign, of u« times
as clearly indicating tho triumphant elec
tion ol Mr. Phillips, a result in which we
would hi glad to have every honest voter
of the district have a share, making the
▼ictory so complete that bribery and cor
ruption would never again be heard of in
tho nominations and olcetions of this
district.
Yote the Whole County Ticket.
Voters of Butler County
Consider carefully the importance of the
vote yon will cast for Congress next Tues
day. Butler connty ha- great intere.-ts .it
stako in this election. Within a few year.-
the oil development in this county ha
marvellously increased the wealth of t'le
county. This development is increasin
its domain and promises to include our
territory a" its field. Thus, Butler
county has within its limits the great lu
te-rests of almost a State to be cared for :.i
Congress. Oil production has leaped for
ward to take its place a.- one of the load
ing industries of the country; and no
county in the United States is more com
pletelv it - centre than Butler.
This oil production promi-' s to larj.-' _
enrich the propc rty owner- in tl - c unty.
and to give -trench and life to every otl:
branch of businec?. Already onr faraer
have chared largely ia its benefits.
With ti'.er, !ed develop-ie-it. these bene-
I fits will be increased. It is to the inter».-i
| of over}' enterprising citizen to lelp for
w srd this wonderful development a-s a
source of county wealth.
lias it occurred to our people that this
I oil trade is to become world-wide; that
' Butler countv oil ij to find a market in
Ind : s, China and Japan, and that as this
market is opened up the demand for onr
Butler county production will be increases;
that added value will be riven to our
farms and land owners will reap a richer
harvest from oil privileges and a general
spur will be given to all kind= of bnsim'S-!
This will be aided by Congress in bringing
to the notice of foreign nation 3 the suppy
we have in store for them; in providing
methods for collecting and publishing
statistics of the trade, and communicating
these through our foreign ministers and
consuls to foreign powers. Besides this
great industry which has sprung Minervc
like into existence may incur the jealousy
of rival interests that will seek throng!:
Congress to impose burdens upon it that it
is unable to bear.
Now, whom have we in the Senate or
House to-day, who knows any thintr
about the oil trade? We know of no Sena
tor or Representative who is posted on th>
subject. Other interests are ably repre
sented in Congress. The iron interest, the
wool interest, the sugar interest, the
tobacco interest, and the liquor interest,
are all ably represented on the floor of Con
gress. The oil interest alone, of all the
great interests of the country, has not a
single Representative.
Is it not high time it should have one.'
Where can we find so experienced ai. 1
able a Representative to represent th:-
great industry, as well as all the other ir
dustries of this district, as Thorn is W
Phillips? The other candidates lor Con
gress in this district, Messrs. McDowell
and Gillespie, reside entirely outride "1
the oil territory in a remote part of the dis
trict, and of course neither of them art
familiar with the claims of this great in
dustry, or with its importance as aa
element of National commerce, demanding
the care of the Government.
Voters of Butler county, think lieforo
you vote, whether it w:nld be wiw to I°*
this opportunity of placing in Congo •
perhaps, the bent posted man in the I nited
Htat' J in the details of your greatest in
duslry and sufl'pr for want of hi* help in
• CoElgrfMS.
Vote for Thomas W. Phillip*!
"A JJL a'luiit his many admirable quali
ties and his fifnoßß for the po«ition."—
Estrict from Thompson'h Effort "gain*
Phillip# in last irck'* Record.
PBIXCITT/K is with Phillips in this cam
paign, and all citizens, without to
party who wish to rebuke bribery will vote
for hiui.
Tnir if> a government "of the people, by
the people and for the people; people

will be iafe in the hands of such men a
Thos. W. Phillips.
Bribery.
He who lakes a bribe will strip the dead,
Will rob the orphan of bis crust of bread;
So lost to justice, equity and right,
That man will steal the aged widow's
mite,
Pillage the palace of the King of kings,
And clip the gilding from an Angel's
wings. — Dryden.
Are any number of onr citirens no de
graded that they will vote for a man whose
nomination was procured by bribery. Wo
do not believe there are. The vote nert
Tuesday will show that there are not.
TUB Phillips army has reached the suin
wit of the bill and is now swooping down
upon the coterie of corruptionicts and put
ting them to flight. Any Republican in
this county wlu» casts bis vote for any
other than Mr. Phillips for Congress throws
bis vote away.
THE best joke of the campaign is the
statement that Mr. Phillips owes .John
Smith of Cherry township, $27,000 and
will not pay it. Why did not Thompson
n.ake it *27,0u0,000.00 while he was at it?
The Twenty-fifth Contest.
II there has been any calculation that
Thomas W. Phillips, the Harmony nomi
nee for Congress in the Twenty-fifth dis
trict, will be defeated on Tuesday next, so
as to allow the Democratic candidate to
win the seat, it is rather more likely than
not to prove a serious error. Mr. Phillips
iB an honest and popelar man. Hi- in
tegrity and straightforwardness ure perfect
ly well understood b} - the people; and he
is nobody's servant in politics. That both
bargaining and bribery were conspicuously
Involved in the first Republican nomina
tion no one pretends to dispute Mr.
Phillips, the second nominee, represents
the opposition to those agencies.
There are many Democrats who on an
issuo of this sort, and in support of »tt«d) a
tatr man as Mr. Phillips, should be able to
rise superior to party lines. At the time
they are commending a numerous element
in the Republican party for taking a stand
in the Governorship contest outside of par
ti.ian influence, it might be confi.itent and
becoming to exhibit, tor their own part,
something of ft like spirit in the Twenty
filth district. At all events, until ?' ■; nn
tional councils of the Democracy change
their attitude of nn ; tho tariff,
the best interests of Penn ylvaniu will di>
tiuctly be subserved by sending Repub
lican to Congress.—Pittsburg Jjixjmtiii
TIIASKSOIVI.NO OAY will be our licit

it Is their duty to act up to th ir respon

TIIK Newcastle < •>urant, which has been
opposing Mr. I'billips. said in it.-: last i. sue:
"From th» first mention of Mr. Phillips'
name in connection a nomination,
the t.'ourant has said that personally he
was all right. Against him as a inaa and
a neighbor, not one word ha been said,
;.nd if anything has been aid which could
pogfihly be construed as apaiust the per

unintentional.
A Place for a Thunderbolt.
In the twenty-filth Congressional Dis
trict of this State, composed of the coun
ties of Beaver, Lawrence, Mercer and Hut
lcr, there is an opportunity for the launch
ing of a thunderbolt by the people.
Tl.' re ha- been admitted fruUd on the
part of . omebody in connection with the
nomination of Mr. McDowell. Whether
he was cognizant of that fraud or not, he
benefited by it, and js at le mt in this case
the receivi i of stolen goods.
This Congressional district lies at the
door of l'ittshiirg, and is iu many ways in
timately bound up with it. It is a district
which has highly important manufacturing
and agricultural interests, and a !ir/c pro
portion of its voters are familiir *ith the
necessity of having a representative in
Congrc. who can think, act and talk in a
manner worthy of the constituency.
Such a man is to bo found in the pe -on
of Thomas W. Phillips, ol NewC'u lle, who
has become the Republican caudidute. Hit
career has been u remarkably brilliant and
succe -ful one, and his experience has fitted
him pre-eminently for the"office.

Political Notes.
At the late meeting of the Mercer Coun
ty Committee the resignation of C. J.
Law of Fymatuning twp.. who had ised
money to secure his nomination was ac
cepted by the Committee, and thea l:o was
renominated by the Committee and re
mains on the ticket.
flic protracted "contest between the nom
inees of \ eaango and Warren counties for
the dii-triot nomination f.»r State Senate
was -ettied in an unusual manner la.-:
week. The matter was 'eft to the Sheriff
of Armstrong, Butler and Lawrence coun
ties, who met at a hotel in Oil City, heard
the arguments on both -ide.-. and "then de
eided in favor of Hon. "W. R Crawiord <>f

the manner and means of his nomination
aud election against the attacks of a hun
dred Southern Congressmen.
Vote the Whole County Ticket.
The End.
This week finishes this political cam
paign and there is nothing more to do but I
put in the ballots and count them.
Oar reaitcr-! in Duller, Lawrence and
Mercer counties will, this week, find one
of their county tickets in the last column
of the third page ol this paper, which can
be cut out aud voted.
We have taken quits an interest in the
cause of Mr. Phillips for the rca-on that in
this matter he represents clean politics.
He will, w<; think, receive the highest vote
for Congress ever given by the people of
Hut it r county to any candidate fj<r that
( like: his vote iu Lawrer.ee and Mercci
conn tie- will, we believe, be a surprise to
the tricksters, and he will, we believe,
