Ik the Republican caucus at Harnsburg Wednesday, the three members of the Leg islature from this county voted for the postponement of the cancns, and after the defeat of that motion, they all voted for the re-nomination and return of J. Donald Cameron to the United States Senate. We are sorry that they did so as they are now in honor bound to vote for Cameron's election on the 20th inst., and we believe the sentiment of the Republicans of this o onnty Is almost unanimous against the political prostitution which has been forced upon them ever since the days of Simon Cameron, and which has been continued under the rule of his son. "WHILE Senator Harris wu in the Chair of the U. S. Senate last Monday, Senator Stewart made a motion to substitute the "Silver" bill on the calendar of the Senate for the Elections bill, and as some Eastern Senators were not in their seats at the time, the motion carried, and the ''Elections,bill is considered "shelved" for the present. The Indian War. Advices from Eushville, Dakota, Satur day stated that the Indians to the nnmber of a thousand were fortified near the month of White Clay Creek, and that the soldiers had them surrounded, and pro posed annihilating them if they did not surrender.

We know how to sympathise with you, Alph. Jo. Meeting of the State Legislature. The members of the State Legislature assembled in Ilarrisburg during the latter part of last week, and interest centered in the contest for Speaker of the House. Mr. Brooks, one of the members from Philadel phia, had the support of the members of that county for the position, and Messrs Thompson, of'Warren,Burdick of McKean, Baker of Delaware, Capp of Lebanon, Fin ley of Washington and Stewart of Alle gheny also had some following. The country members by standing to- gether mustered some seventy votes,while but sixty-two were necessary to name the Speaker, and they organised and agreed to stand together. On Monday they completed their ar rangements and agreed upon Mr. Thomp of Warren for Speaker, and Mr. Baker of Delaware for Chairman of the caucus. The caucus was held in the Supreme Court Chamber Monday evening, and the the country members had everything their own way. Mr. Baker was made Chairman, Mr. Thompson was selected for Speaker, John W. Morrow was elected Chief Clerk; C. W, Yoorhes, resident clerk, and the rest of the appointments were left to the Slate Committee appoirted by Chairman Baker as follows: Messrs Fletcher, Brooks, Myers, Kidd and Keyser, of Philadelphia; Bliss, of Delaware; Taggart, of Montgome ry; Franklin, of Lancaster; Farr, of Lacka wanna; David, of Schuylkill; Swarts, of Perry; Titmann, of Sasquehanna; Hitter, of Union; McDonald, of Blair; Cochran, of Armstrong; Finley, of Washington; Fruit, of Mercer; Morrison, of Lawrence; Flicken ger, of Erie; Burdick, of MeKean; Hays of Venango and Brown, of Crawford. The committee referred the selection of House officers to a sub-committee, compos ed of Messrs Capp, Burdick, Finlay, Fruit, Brooks, Stewart and Franklin. After the nomination of Mr. .Yoorhees, Mr. Thompson was introduced to the House by a committee consisting of Messrs Finlay, of Washington; Graham, of Alle gheny and Sitter of Philadelphia, Mr. Fin lay acting as spokesman. Mr. Thompson made a brief speech of thanks,declaring he hoped for and expected the hearty support and co-operation of each member. Mr. Leeds of Philadelphia moved that the Chairman of the caucus be authorized to confer with the Chairman of the Senate caucus to nominate a Republican cyidi date for United States Senate. As Boon as this was passed Mr. Taggart introduced a preamble and resolution, indorsing the Federal Election bill. Mr. Albert Magnin of Delaware made a speech in which he in dicated himself much displeased with Sen ator Cameron and not a too hearty admirer of Senator Quay. Mr. Taggart's resolu tion passed unanimously. The resolution which the caucus in structed the Secretary, Mr. Kennedy of Schuylkill, to send to Pennsylvania's United States Senators is as follows: "Whereas, The policy of the Republican party as declared in the National and State platforms is unqualifiedly in favor of free, fair elections and an honest count; and "Whereas, The overwhelming sentiment of the Republicans throughout the land is in favor of suoh National legislation as will guarantee the same; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Republican mem bers of the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania favor the speedy passage of the Federal Election bill now pending in the United States Senate." The Republican members of the Senate held their caucus, Saturday evening, and selected a Slate Committee, who nominat ed officers as follows: President Pro Tern., Boise Penrose, of Philadelphia; Chief Clerk, E. W. Smiley, 01 Venango; Librar ian, Herman Miller, of Harrisburg; Journal Clerk, A. F. Bannon, of McKean; Reading Clerk, J. M. Carson, of Butler; Message Clerk, T. B.

Ma harg of Mercer, postmaster; James H. Klingensmith of Westmoreland, superin tendent of the folding-room; Senate's Chaplain, Rev. Leroy F. Baker, of St. Panfs Episcopal Church. These nominations were confirmed by the Senate cancas Monday night. MEETIHG OF THE TWO BOCSBS. Both houses met at noon amid the usual excitement and confusion. Judge Simon toil of Danphin county swore in the new members, in groups, some by the Book, some by the upl. sd hand, and some by affirmation. In the Home, Mr. Thompson was nomi nated for Speaker, and elected by a party vote, the Democrats voting for Mr. Skin ner. John W. Moni3on of Allegheny Co. was nominated and elected Chief Clerk, C. E. Voorheee of Philadelphia wat- elected Resident Clerk, J. B. Rex of Huntingdon Reading Clerk, and the other appointments of interest to Western Pennsylvainn* are as follows: Message Clerk. W. I. Weaver, Lancaster; Transcribing Clerks, F. B. Hol man, Washington, Alferd Grosch, Lancas ter; Sergeant-at-Arms, George R. Hoops, Chester, Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms, R P. Pomeroy, Lawrence; Door-keeper, David Jones, Allegheny; Assistant Door keepers, Robert McCallis, Armstrong, Thomas Wallace, Allegheny, George Ham ilton, Mercer, Messenger, E. H. Mnner, Blair; Assistant Messenger, H. H. Mnllen, Cameron; Pasters and Folders, Don M. Krich, Erie, Milo R. Padden, "Venango; Henry Bolster, Allegheny, John E. Orfor er, Allegheny. The Honse then adjourned for dinner, and upon reassembling the Governor's Mes sage, the report of the Revenue Commis sion and the Commission to revise the poor laws were read, and after that a resolution to adjourn until Thursday of next week prevailed, provided the Senate concur. The Senate was called to order by Lt. Gov. Dayies, the election returns were read, new members were sworn in, the clerks as stated above were nominated and elected; Mr. Prinrose was elected Speaker Pro Tem. A committee ol the Senate headed by Mr. Flinn and-one of the House headed by Mr. Graham, notified the Governor that the two Houses were in session; and that afternoon Chief Clerk Smiley and Reading Clerk Carson took tarns reading the Gov ernor's Message to almost empty benches, a form that is customary. The Inauguration Committee organized that night, and Senators Green and Smith and Rep. Leods were appointed to confer - wiih Gov.-elect Pattison. CAMKEOH RR-ICOMINATED. U. S. Senator Cameron arrived in Har risbnrg that afternoon, and was visited at the old Cameron mansion on the river bank, by Collector Cooper, Dave Martin, W. R. Leeds, Dick Quay, W. H. Brooks, Sena tor Smith, Rep. Baker and others, and it was decided to force the caucus for the nomination for U. S. Senator for next day at noon. Tom. Cooper assisted Cameron to receive, and State Chairman Andrews collared the members and took them down to see Cameron. On Wednesday was perpetrated one of the greatest outrages that the Republican party of the State hat ever been called up on to submit to. Early that morning placards were post ed on the trees of Capitol Park announcing a caucus of the Republican members of the two Houses on the question of U. S. Sena tor, in the House at noon that day, though the law does not require the election till after the 20th inst. But Cameron's friends were fearful of the growing opposition to him, and with the aid of the Chairman of the oaucus forced the thing ahead. The caucus was held; Mr. Taggart of Montgomery denounced the treachery of the Chairman of the caucus and moved to adjourn it till the 15th; Mr. Magnin of Delaware seconded the motion and spoke for the best interests of the party, but the motion was lost by a big majority. Senator Thompson nominated J. Donald Cameron; General Gobin seconded the nomination and assured the caucus that he would vote for the Election Bill; Dick Quay said that he heard Cameron say he would vote for the bill; Air. Coray said that Cameron bad been "smoked out" and that he would consult with his constitu ents before being bound by this caucus, and he, Mr. Taggert and Mr. Magnin walked out. The roll wan called and Cameron received 134 votes, which of course nominated him, and is more than enough to elecAim if they all stick to him. The Legislature adjo?r.el till Thursday next. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. Gov. Beaver's parting message to the Legislature and people of the state is an unusually elaborate one, and embodies a review of the events in the state daring the part two years and also many weighty recom mondations. He begins by referring to the late financial failures, and the stringency of money market, but thinks the material affairs of the Commonwealth are in good condition. He asks for an appropriation of $400,000 to reimburse the bank from which he borrowed that amount to aid the Johns town sufferers, and recommends an enlarg ment of the powers of the Board of Health so as to enable it to supervise the streams cf the State and thus prevent any such calamities in the future, and keep the water supply of towns and cities as pure as possible. The State finances, as reported by the Governor, present the gratifying aspect of being so large, and the prospect of exceed ing the necessities of the state so direct that a reduction is recommended in them by giving part of the revenue back to the local governments. The manner of raising revenues, as em bodied in the bill agreed upon by the ma jority of the Revenue Commission, is com mended to the careful consideration of the Legislature, and regret is expressed that the commission fell short in determining the nature and extent of the inequality which exists in the burden of taxation borne by real and personal property re spectively. Until this difference is definite ly ascertained, it is impossible to apply a remedy, if it be conceded that a remedy is needed. The Governor recommends that of the State tax upon personal property imposed under the act of 1889, one-balf thereof be returned to the county treasuries, instead of the one-third, as now provided. He also recommends that all liquor licenses be paid into the treasury of the rau-, nicipality in which they are collected. Still another recomendation is that an increase of half a million dollars be made in the annual school appropriation. With the more rapid purchase cf the bonds of the loan of 1877, out of a total of 8.000,000, there are now outstanding only about $3,000,000, and the operations of the sinking fund, especially during the past year, have been very satisfactory. The net amount of the debt unprovided for is $4,0C8,010,29, the reduction during 1890 having aggregated $1,507,051. With reference to ballot reform, the Gov ernor's tone is not enthusiastic, evidently because he is of opinion that the need of a change is much exaggerated, and that is a fact. The charges made against the char acter of our elections to justify the demand for reform have not beeu established. In the course of reviewing a large number of other subjects of State adminis tration, the message brings out the im portance and progress of the Lake Eri° ship-caual| work. The feasibility of the project at a comparatively moderate cost is stated to be shown by the surveys, the ample supply of water for the canal is referred to, and the importance of the work, not only for commerce but as a means of transferring naval vessels to the lakes in case of war, is made clear. The Governor suggests that the United States Government should be interested in the work. Not the least important of the recom mendations is the organization of a com mission to supervise the part which Penn sylvania shall take in the Columbian Ex position and liberal appropriations for the erection of a suitable building and for stimulating in every way a complete and satisfactory exhibit of our industries. A reproduction of "Independence Hall" has been suggested as a suitable model. The attention given in the message to the subjects of, education and the manage ment of soldiers' orphans' schools and capitol improvement is conservative and in the line of ordinary expectations. The Governor apparently has no desire to signalize the close of his term by any sensational recommendations. Recollections of Butler; or Fifty Years Ago. (Continued.) ED. CITIZEN: —We closed last week with what was known as "The Commons,"' in the south end of town, and propose in this to continue on along Main Street, from the south to the north end, with our recollec tions of the older families and principal citizens of fifty years ago, where they lived and what became of some ot them, and in this way stating the squares or lots they then owned or lived upon, and who are the present owners, with the changes in buildings on the same, etc. OLD CITIZENS —AYRES' SQUARE. We begin with the square, 3 lots, owned and resided npon by General William Ayres, one of the earliest settlers in Butler. This square is now owned in equal parts by Ex.- Judge E. McJunkin and Mr. Wiliiatn Campbell, Sr. General Ayres lived in a part of the house Mr. McJunkin is now liv ing in—the brick part. The other part — log framed—was used by him for his law office, and was torn down by Mr. McJunkin when be purchased same, some 35 yoars ago, and who built the brick instead, now occupied as his law office. Mr. William John Ayres, son of the General, occupied this frame part for some years as a jewelry and watch repairing shop, lie was the father of Capt. H. A. Ayres, yet among us. Mr. Campbell built bis brick dwelling, on his part of the square, whero he now resides, about 40 years ago. General Ay res in person was a large man and very dignified in appearance and manner; very particular in bin ways and punctilious in his habit*. He always dressed well, in great neatness, and always in the same cut and color of cloth. In some respects he might have been called "a gentleman of tho old school." lie had a large law practice and wis careful in business. one result of which was that on his death, in 1843, more judgments were found of record in his favor than of any other man in the county. He left an estute of abont $150,000. He was the first Pro thonotary of the county and was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1838, to reform the Constitution of Pennsyl vania. Theßearethe only offices we be lieve he ever held. BBIMKEB-CAMPBRLL SQUARE. The square across the street from the Ayres one was known, fifty years ago, as the Brinker and Campbell one. William Campbell, Esq., lived in a house abont where the present residence of Robert C. McAboy standi. He was qnite a large, portly man, ol great physical strength, the greatest, perhaps, except cne, of any then about the town. Acting as a Justice of the Peaco for many years he was familiar ly known as "Sqnire Campbell." He was also a ProthonoUry of the county and held many other positions of trust. Oar present William Campbell, Sr., is his only 1 „„ and his son William, whom we may term William the 3rd, is a grandson, M is also Mr. John S. Campbell. Col. Jacob Brinker occupied the balance of this square. and built the hotel now known as the Willard House and now be injr so much enlarged and improved by Mr. William Reibing, the present owner. A frame attached at the south ead was where the late Hon. William Hazlett first estab lished and published The Butler County Whig newspaper. 45 years ago. This frame was removed by the late Michael Zimmer man. Esq.. who became owner of the prop erty about 45 years agJ. and who bnilt a brick addition to the hotel instead. Be fore that the late Ex. Sheriff John Pollock and his son-in-law. Mr. George Cooper, yet living at Glade Mills, kept hotel there, and subsequently it was kept by the late Mr. Benjamin Jw-k.Mr. Geo. W. Campbell,and perhaps others. Col. Brinker was a large, heavy set man, and of much activity in military affairs and otherwise enterprising. He had been Sheriff of the county, between 1830 and 1840. Our present Mrs. Thomas S. McNair is the only child of his we be lieve now living here. When Mr. Reihing completes his improvements to the old Brinker House, the Willard,with its three stories, will be the largest hotel in the town. MCQUISTION SQUARE. Passing over Wayne Street the next square north, same side, was known as the Joseph McQuistion one. Mr. McQuistion lived in the honse now lived in by his son Harper, in part, and in part by Mr. John Stein, the baker, and present owner. This house is said to be one of the very oldest of the log-framed houses of the town, per haps the oldest yet standing. Mr. Stein has recently erected a fine brick on the lower corner, now occupied by Gneb <fc Vogeley for their new shoe store. Mr. Casimer Wise is above in a new brick building. There is the present store-room of Mr. J. M. Arthurs. Then above is the new meat market shop of Mr. Adam Kum mer. Then the part and houses belonging to Mrs. Christian Uarley. On her part, the alley corner, the late Samuel A. and John N. Purviance built and had their first law office, afterwards the office of George Wal ter Ziegler and other attorneys. This corner was afterwards tor a long time occupied as a meat market by the late Lewis and Nicholas Miller, father of Mrs. Harley, and by Mr. Kummer and others, and is now used as a confectionery store, in the name of A. A. Marshall. A barber shop is also at present on Mrs. Barley's part. Mr. McQuistion was a shoe-maker by trade and for many years had his shoe shop on this corner. Fifty years ago his shop was the place to get your best boots and shoes. He died about 1856. He has many nephews and nieces living in or near the town, but his sou Harper is the only child now hereabouts. NEGLEY-SWEENEY SQUARE. The square across the street from the McQuistion one was known fifty years ago as the Ncgley and Sweeney oue. John Sweeney, Esq., owned the upper lot where now stands the Eitenmiller Hotel, and built the original house there, which ha* recently been so enlarged by Mr. Henry Eitenmiller, its present owner. Like all the first hotels and houses it was but a two story one. Now it has been made three, like others of the old ones and most of the new ones being built. Nothing perhaps indicates the progress of improvement now going on so strikingly as this raising of old two storied houses to three,and the build ing of near all the new ones to the same number. John Sweeney, Esq., was a Jus tice of the Peace in Butler for a number of years. He has been dead for near fifty years and not a single child or descendant of bis remains or exists hereabout that we know of. Anthony Wise, deceased, first owned and lived in this house after him. The late John Negley, Esq., owned the balance of the square down to Wayne St Part of this, fifty years ago, was purchased from him by the late Mr. Thomas Stehle, whose daughter, Mrs. Aland, now owns same and resides in part of the buildings thereon. Other parts owned by her is the house in which Mr. Lorry Roessing now lives, and the house in which is store of Mr. 0. M. Phillips. Mr. Stehle was an in genious man, a mechanic, a worker in fine brass, iron and tinware. In connection with these he carried on gun and other re pairing, in shop where Mr. Phillips' store now is. Subsequently he kept a restaurant and retrcshuient room there, which was fitted 'up in a novel and well arranged manner for supplying of his many custom ers with their wants. His entertainment rooms were much frequented and he was courteous and obliging to his patrons, lie died but a few years ago. Adjoining Mrs. Alard's property is the present residence and lot of Miss Sarah V cQuistion. The house in which she lives is part of one of the oldest buildings of Butler. It, with a front part that was to it, composed one of the first hotels of the town for many of its first years. Samuel Marquis kept a public house there for some years. Mr. Bennett Dobbs followed with a temperance house. We forget much,but the sign of Mr. Dobbs, in front of his house, we will never forget. It was a snake with many heads, red, blood-shot eyes and darting tongues, in tended to illustrate and forewarn all as to the poisouous effects and evil tendencies of intoxicating drinks. The front part of this stand was torn away about 40 years ago by Mr. James A. Negley, for the erection of other buildings. The Democratic Her ald paper was removed to and published in the part, upper story, of that yet standing, and owned by Miss McQuistion, by the late Col. Joseph P. Patterson, father of John N. This was done in March, 1855. On the illness of Col. Patterson, November of the same year, the writer of this, very un expected to himself, became the owner of the paper and published the samo there until July, 1858. when he sold or rather gave it away to John and Samuel Coll, who removed it elsewhere. Col. Patterson died March 4, 1856. The writer had previously, about 1850, built his first law office there, standing in front of Miss present home, and which was removed to the rear end of same when her mother pur chased all that part of the lot, about 1864. Mr. Felix C. Negley, now of Pittsburg, and his brother James A., now of Philadelphia, built and established the first store house, frame, on the corner where store of Jacob Boos LOW is. This in about 1848. Shortly after Mr James A. Negley removed it and erected the then large brick store, and kept store there for some years, part of the time in connection with the late J. G. Muntz, Esq. Mr. Adam Troutman, our present successful merchant, had his first schooling in store life there, part of the time in con nection with Mr. Muntz. Mr. Boos, present owner, has but recently much enlarged and improved it and it is now one of the largest and finest in the town. Tho late Mr. John Pollock McQuistion kept store there for a number of years after 1864. and until sold to Mr. John Berg, who sold to Mr. Boos last summer. MF.CHLING SyCARE. North of last described square and up street, same side, to Diamond, was the elder Jacob Mechling, Esq., square. This is now compactly built up, both on Main street and Diamond lront The front or Main street lot square was pur chased aboat 20 years ago (1871) by Wal ter L. Graham, Esq., from Mrs. Judge Buffington, of Kittanning, Pa., a daughter of Mr. Mechling. who inherited it by wilj of her father. Mr. Graham soon after bis purchase erected the large building on the , corner until recently known as the Brady House, Mr. Owen Brady having become owner, and now owned, much improved, and occupied by The Butler County National Bank. Mr. Graham gold lota from there down to Moses Sullivan, Esq., and others, where now stand the law offices of Lev. McQuistion, Esq., A. T. Black, Esq., (built by the late Harrison Black, Esq , his brother), and the building now owned by Mrs. Sloan, built by Mr. Sullivan, and now used in part as a billiard room. Nest to that was the lot and law office built by the late General John N. Pnrviance, which has recently changed owners several times and is now, or but recently, occupied as a drug store by Mr. W. W. Dunlap. Tbet; down and adjoining was lot sold to Mr. James Vogeley, now the property of the ieire of the late Mr. Wuller. From there '.o corner is the present property of Mr. Chrii. Stock, with his tin shop and storo or corner. This corner building, however, *as erected by the late Leonard Wise, Jr.,to whom Mr. Graham sold that lot or pat, and who had a tin shop there until deeased, recently. James Vogeley kept a balery and grocery in his part, where the prsent Mr. R. A. White keeps the am helps to supply our people with fresh lread, cakes and pies, besides having a nat confectionery store there. When Mr. Graham bought this front lot there was lot a single building on it, except what beeme and is now the BCTLER CITIZEN offiie. The writer of this bought of him the biance of the lot front ing on the Diamonl and adjoining the Brady or present Baik building, to which the CITIZEN office vas removed in the spring i f IBT'J, from ho Ritter 4 Ralston store building, 2pp«>sit<? the Lowry House, where, in an upp«rstory, he had published it during the three years previous. Next to CITIZEN office on Diamond is the law office of Col. John I. Thompson 4 Son; and next to it is tha of R. P. Scott, Esq., and next to it that of Hon. Charles Mc- Caudless, in whoa building Newton Black, Esq., and Fraik Kohler, Esq., also ha\e their law office. On the ground upon which these three ofices now stand was the old Mechling lttel, celebrated as a hostelry for many i the early years of Butler. The house il which Col. Thomp son it Son have theirsffice was a part of the old hotel. Where the offices 'f Messrs. Scott and McCandless stand WB the principal part of the old hotel, log-franed, and which was torn away years sgoto give place to the present buildings. M. Mechling, Sr., him self lived in a sn»ll, neat frame house which stood where the fine residence of John Q. A. Kenneiy, Esq., now stands. He was much of tte old-fashioned gentle man in his manner, was always neatly dressed, very houaty and careful in busi ness, was an early nember of the Legis lature from this comty, and one of its first Prothonotaries. Hs son,late Jacob Mech ling, Jr., followed bim in keeping the old hotel, and during Ha time added to it the present CITIZEN offce building.He was also a Prothonotary of the county, elected in 1842. Our presen; Mr. Thomas Mechling is the youngest sai of the elder Jacob, and is we believe hif only child now living. Mrs. Mechling was a favorite with the small boys of m«re than 50 years ago, lrom a kind habit she had of giving them taffy on Christmas diys—real taffy, which she made on every Christinas morning for their especial enjoyment. J- H. N. (Tobe continued.) THE Citizens' Committee of Philadelphia has sent out circulars protesting against the proposed change in the Brook's Law, putting the granting ol retail licenses in the hands of an Excise Board, and asking for a change in the luw regarding whole pale licenses giving the Courts of Phil'a and Allegheny counties the same power regarding them as is now held by the Courts of the other counties, increasing the minimum quantity to be sold by wholesalers to one gallon, and none to be drunk on the seller's premises. PRESIKENT HARRISON, on Monday, sent to Congress the Correspondence between tho United States and Great Britain on tho Behring Sea question, in which there is a considerable diffeience of opinion be tween the two governments. Our govern ment has also ordered eleven war vessels and revenue cutters to the waters of the Pacific,and the matter is beginning to look serious, but as England has everything to lose and nothing to gain by going to war with us, it is not very likely that there will be one. DEATHS' McCALL—At her homo in Harrisville, Oct. 25, 1890, Sarah, wife of Curtis Mc- Call. She has gone home, the one we love, Her spirit is with God above. But when this life of toil is o'er, We'll meet her on the other shore. We know that God her being gave. Why should we ask her here to live In this cold world of toil and pain When God hath called her home againf She was a loving wife, and true She always tried my will to do, But God hath taken her away; How could I ask her here to stay? It was so hard for us to part, The thought did almost break my heart, But God hath taken her above To dwell with him where all is love. She left her husband, children dear, And many friends has she left here; We'll meet here on that brighter shore, For she has only gono before. Why should we weep? She is at rest, We know that God her soul hath blest; He took her bouie with hiin to live, And may he all our sins forgive. We laid her body 'neath the sod. Her spirit hath gone homo to God; Let us God's will do while we may, And be with her on judgment day. PARK—At his home in Middlesex Twp. Dec. 20. 1890 James Park.

J. EMERY BRANDON, Ex'r, W. D. Brandon, f Connoqueneaaing P. 0., att'y. 1 Butler County, Pa. The Philadelphia Press Has won the foremost place among Penn sylvania newspapers by the liberality, enterprise, and tairness with which it con ducts its business, reports great events, and the completeness with which it records, day b<* day, the life of the city, State and country. Its field is world-wide, and its staif, its special correspondents, so many and well organized, its source of news so numerous, that it appeals to a wider constituency than any other newspaper ever published in Pennsylvania. '•THE PRESS," said one of the man agers of the "Western Union Telegraph Company, "now receives more telegraphic news than all the other Philadelphia news papers combined." This statement is au thorative and conclusive.and THE PRESS presents as daily witnesses to its truth, its twelve to twenty-four bright and interest ing pages. But it is not only by its news enterprise —by the zeal, energy, and integrity of its reporters and correspondents that THE PRESS has won and held the confidence of its many thousands of readers, rep resenting every age and every condition of life, every trade and every profession, every faith and every political opinion. It is the excellence and varied interest of THE PRESS as a general family journal, appealing to women as well as to men, which have made for it so many friends at home,and extended its reputation through out the country. It prints every import ant event of the world's progress. The printing of news is always its first business, but its columns are also enriched by contributions from the most gifted special writers, the most famous novelists, and some of the most eminent public men of the time. The literary engagements al ready made for 1891, probably surpass in number and variety, and nearly equal in cost, any contemporary magazine, for the field and resources of such a newspaper as THE PRESS made it not only a daily historian, but a daily forum and a daily tribune. Its steadily growing profits and its stead fast constituency not only demand, but insure progress. The greatest authors, as well as the brightest news correspondents, find their largest profits derived from and Pennsylvania newspapers, as well as their best Pennsylvania audience, in DAILY, SUNDAY, aud WEEKLY PRESS. In politics THE PRESS is Republican, but it knows no other master than the people whose rights, aspirations, and needs it always defends. It has no enemies to punish, no individual political ambitions to lbster or promote, ana is subservient to no politician or clique. Faithful to the great body of readers and voters, whom it truly represents, it promotes its own in terest and influence by faithfully uphold ing their. Its editorial opinions are fear less and frank —never captious. Its news is always impartial. In its pages the the workingmen finds as ready audience as the capitalist. To all commercial and industrial progress, to the best through and best action in every sphere of human enterprise, it accords a generous and en lightened hospitality. In the columns of THE PHILADELPHIA PRESS justice finds "all seasons Summer." TERMS OF THE PBESft. By mail, postage free, to any part of the United States or Canada.
