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

surrender. On Monday, firing was heard
in that direction bat there was no general
battle.

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

After the nomination of Mr. .Yoorhees,
Mr. Thompson was introduced to the

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

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.

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

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.

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."
