THOMAS W. PHILLIPS, our nominee for
Congress and who will, without doubt, be
the nominee of the district, is already too
well known to need any introduction to
our people. He has been in the oil busi
ness in tbe connty for years and has been
the most extensive and sucoessfnl operator
in the connty. He was the candidate of
this district for Congress in 1890, and re
oeived his largest vote in this county and
largest proportion, of the Republican vote
Butler county has done well by him and
will do so again.

strong run for the nomination of Districi
Attorney in 1889. He is now in the
prime of his life and stands woll with the
Bar fcere.
lIA MCJUKKIS. ESQ., the nominee for
District Attorney, is the youngest son of
the late James T. McJunkin, Esq. He
was born in the borough of Butler and hap
resided here all his life except for six yearn
abswice at school. He received his edu
cation at the public schools, Witherspoon
Institute and the United States Naval
Academy. When a boy he spent two of
his gummers working in a brickyard and
two in tbe Union Woolen Mills, attending
the public schools part of the winter terms.
In 1877 he was appointd by Col. John M.
Thompson, to a cadetship in tbe United
States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md.
Passing the entrance examination he pur
sued the regular course at that institution
taking a creditable standing iu hia class,
graduated in 1881, and received his first
diploma from the hand of President Jame#
A. Garfield. After graduating from the
Academy, he, with his classmatos, were
ordered to sea for two years. Mr. Mc-
Junkin was assigned to the Asiatic Squad
ron and spent the time on the ca»t of
China, Japan and Corea. While this class
were all at sea, Congress, on Aug. 5, 1882,
pmssetl an act providing for the honorable
diecharge of all but ten of each class grad
uating before and after that date. Noth
ing was known of this legislation until it
was of and however unjust
and ex pott facto in character, Congress has
never been disposed to rectify the wrong,
and when the class of 'Bl returned home
for final examination the moat of them re
ceived au honorable discharge instead of a
commission to which they were justly
entitled and had worked for for six long
years. Thrown upon his own resources,
Mr. McJunkin returned to Butler and
entered his name as a law student with the
firm of McJunkin <t Galbreath, pursuing
the study of law in the summer months

private, lieutenant and captain in tbe
National Guard, and is at present the
captain of Company E., 15th Regiment,
N. G. P. As a citiien of Butler he has
always been sealous in the work ol promot
ing the interests of hia native town and is
at present serviug as a member of the
borough school board.

tion of many gifts from their friends. The
happy couple seemed to realize that "tern
pora mutantnr et mutnmur in illi*."'
The afternoon was spent in talking on
various subjects and singing songs of
praise, then many of the friends departed,
feeling that it was good for them to bo

The Meeting of the County Committee.
The Return Judges of the late Repub
lican Primaries met in Huselton Hall,
Monday afternoon, and were called to
order by Chairman Christley.
John M. Greer. Esq., nominated Thomas
Robinson, Esq., for Temporary Chairman,
and there being no other nomination. Mr.
Robinson mounted the platform, .and read
a carefully prepared speech, the tirat part
of which was biographical and referred to
his connection with the Whip and Repub
lican parties, aud wound up with the de
claration that though this was his last ap
pearance in a Republican Convention his
party zeal would continue active and faith
unabated. Then he referred to the public
schools; gave President Harrison a puff
and said he was not responsible for tho
present friction as to the Federal appoint
ments; gave Blaine a puff and referred to
his declination; said Senator Quay's com
plete victory was gratifying to him as he
had taken an active interest in his canvass
and was pleased with the result; but that
the victory did not imply that Quay has
not made mistakes which he should not re
peat. lie thinks Quay's majority in this
county wonld have been larger, were it
not for the report that he has slated Mc-
Dowell lor Congressman-at large, referred
to the old contract between the two men,
which we have kept standing iu our
columns for some time; and hopes we will
not have to twice hang our heads in sorrow.
He regards Senator Quay as a great polit
ical leader and unqualified Republican,
and hopes he will remain a wise and suc
cessful leader.
There was some applause at the con
clusion of the reading; and then J. N.
Moore, of Butler, and S. P, Okeson, of
Muddy Creek -twp., were elected secre
taries; and J. M. Painter and Ed. Riddle,
clerks.
The Districts were called and the follow
ing gentleman who will compose the
County Committee for 1892, answered and
banded in their returns.

The Republican party of Butler county

aa represented by its martyred leaders,
Lincoln and Garfield, and their worthy
Republican Presidential successors. Pro
taction to every branch of American in

represented by the honest dollar, redeem
able at ita face in all parts of the world.
Strict accountability aud rigid economy in
the administration of the government, a
pure and unterrorized ballot box, a moat
liberal governmental provision for the
soldier who has periled his lile in defense of
his country, and for his widow and orptiau
children, generaleducation-aud iheaevereat
reatraintß aud uenaltiea of law against
every form of National vice, are prominent
points in our political faith. Born as tbe
party of freedom, toe liepublicau party 111
its more tban thirty-five years of growth,
confidently points to its record in the past
with all its records faithfully fulfilled, ani
mated with a single continuous aim to pro
mote the best interests of tbe whole people
ot this great Nation, as an asourauce and

county declare :
Ist. Coufidence in aud approval of tbe
administration <>f Ueujaunn Harrison,
Presideut ot tbe Umleil States. Distin
guisbed ability, unimpeachable in teg ity
and broad, intelligent statesmanship,
marked features ot bis administration.
Respected at borne and honored abroad,
for his conscientious regard for every
pledge he made before he assumed bin
office, and lor his tiriu and dignified
assertion and the maintenance of the rights
of our Nation in the face ol every foreign
power, President Harrison has proved him
self in every respect equal to the J equip
ments of his great office. 11 can worthily
and most safely remain in his bauds for
another term, and so far as tbe instructions
ot the Republicans ol Butler county shall
have weight with the delegates to tbe
National convention, they are hereby
given for President Harrison's nomination.
2nd. Tbe Republicans of this county
who have stood by James G Blaine,
Pennsylvania's favorite son, in every
canvass in which he has ho.etot'ore been
named for tbe Presidency, regretfully
accept his own decision,! to remain no

a merited tribute to the ability and worth,of
a citizen, who has closely identified him
selfwith tbe business 'interests of this

Blaine Would Not Accept.
If any answer had been needed to the
anonymous story that Secretary Blaine
wts complain iug that be had been badger
ed and hounded by friends ofPreaident Har
rison into writiug hia celebrated letter de
clining to be a candidate for President, Mr.
Blaine himself answered it. Xobody pre
teuded to believe tbe story, save a tew of
those who are so auxious to get some
strong name to nse against the growing
strength of Harrison that tbey are willing
to put Mr. Blaine forward in the attitude
of a weak creature, without tbe courageto
withstand pressure, or the manliness to
abide the consequences ol his own acts.
In the course of conversation with one
of the leading physicians of the country,
who had occasionally attended the
Secretary, the physician rainarkeJ:
"I see some of the newspapers continue
to connect your name with the Presidency,
Mr. Secretary."
Promptly, as one answers a qnestiju up
on which he has done deliberating. Mr.
Blaine responded:
" The President's office is a most labor
ious and exhausting ono. lie has no Vice,
no alternate, no substitute upou whose
shoulders he can share responsibility.
There is a Vice President, but our scheme
ot government does not permit hiui to as
sume the powors aud duties of the Presi
dent, except in case of death, removal,res
ignation or disability of the President. It
does uot contemplate the Vice President
as an occasional acting President for a
day or two, or a week or two, when the
man who has been elected to that office
may need rest and recreation.
"TUe Presidency is an office without
sleep. I am now G2 years old, and
although you have told me and I believe tba'
in heart, lungs, kidneys and otherwise I
am free from organic disease, suffering
only from torpidity of the liver, Ido not
believe that if I was to be ipangoiated
President to-morrow I would live out my
term. 1 find life too full of congenial
work and too full of happiness to feel call
ed upon to or inclined to throw it away.
If I was assured, therefore, of anominatlou
asd election to the Presidency, I would
not accept it. At my age, aud with my
temperament, and knowing what the effect
of a long life of exhausting labor has been
upon my vitality, it would be constructive
suicide."
The Secretary spoke with the emphasis
of yfexfttt mrffcr, wtbfe ftfipWtat
desire only to make himself definitely un
derstood.
The report in which Mr. Blaine was
quoted as oomplaining that he had been
hounded into writing hia letter of with
drawal has received no credence among
the Secretary's friends, and Senator Hale,
who stands very close to Mr. Blaine, to
day made the following statement regard
ing the latter's alleged willingness to
accept the nomination for the Presidency :
"I do not speak for Mr. because
I have no authority to do so, but I know
he atands to-day exactly 4s he did when he
wrote bis letter of withdrawal. He has
not reconaidered hia determination, and be
has given uo intimation of any intention to
reconsider it."
Not a Fit Man to Associate With,
Press Dispatch. , . ;
There will bo uo reconciliation between
Senator Quay and President Harrison, and
aa a reault Mr. Harrison may eventually
not be a candidate for re-nomination. A few
days ago Congressmen Bingham. O'Xeill
and Reyburu, accompanied by Postmaster
General Wanamaker, called Bpou the
President to urge him to forget the past
and receive Quay. This was tho idea
that tbe Pennsylvania Republican Con
vention, to be held on the 29th, would de
clare for Harrison and assure him of the 64
delegates of the State. The surprise of
tbe gentlemen was great when the Presi
dent turned to Mr. Wanamaker and said :
'•The less you have to do with Mr. Quay
the better it will be for you. He ia not a
fit uian to associate with.''
Following thia up the President said
tbat he was not BO certain about accepting
a rc-uouiinatiou unless he was assured
that the party was harmonious, aud tbat
it would stand together ou all questions.
He said he saw here and there evidenoes
ol dissatisfaction, aud that he prefered to
ataud aside rathor than place himself in
the power of Mr. Qnay and some other
meu who bad at tempted to dictate the
terais for re-nomination.
Tbe President said to the Congressmen
that he would uot place the patronage of
Pennsylvania in Quay's hands because the
men Quay had recommeuded to him were
no better than himself, and were not tit
to hold positions. The President said that
ifitdependel upon Quay that he should
get tbe Pennsylvania delegation, that he
would not get it. Mr. Wanamaker talked
in his most persuasive manner, but it was
of no avail. And the President warned
he Postmaster General, as a good Presby
terian brother, to keep away fro» Quay.
When this was told the Senator he was
naturally angered. He immediately began
to discuss with his follow Senators the
availability of Blaine as a Presidential can
didate, and the boom iu the interest of
the Secretary last week is due to Quay's
work.
Rhdoe Island Republican.
The new ballot law of Rhode Island de
layed the complete count for a day, but
when the returns were all in they showed
that the Republicans had carried every
thing. Complete returns showed a total
vote on the State ticket of 54,746, an in
crease of about 10,000 over the largest ever
polle 1 before. The two parties raked every
city aud town almost bare of voters, and
got ontan unexpectedly and unprecedented,
ly full vote, both in actual numbers and in
proportion to the possible vote.
On tbe State ticket tbe returns are for
Governor: Brown, Republican, 27,464;
Burton, People's. 188; Gilbert, Prohibitiou,
1,587; Wardwell, Democrat, 25,485;
Brown's majority 220. Ball and Utter,
Republican caudidales for Lieuteuant-
Goveruor and Secretary of State, are also
elected by small majorities, bnt there is no
election for Attorney-General and treasur
er. The cities of Providence, Newport
and Woonsocket went Democratic on the
State ticket.
>0 TROUBLE FOR ALDRICH.
The legislature returns show a good Re
publican majority in poth branches already
with between 15 and 20 vacancies to b«
filled,aud iusures the re-election of Kelson
W. Aldrich to the United States Senate.
Iu tbe Senate tbe Republicans have thus
far eleotod 20 out of 35 members, and in
the Housti 41 out of 73 members. This
gives them 61 on joius ballot, a majority
of six besides tbe vacancies yet to be tilled
by secoud elections. Most of these failures
to elect are iu Providence and Newport.
In the former city only three of the 13
members ot tbe Legislature were ohosen,
and in Newport only one of six. The
other failures were scattered amoug t be
small towns. The control of tbe Legisla
ture by the Republicaus gives them the
choice of their candidates for Attorney
Geueral and Treasurer.

EUITOK CITI2R£-—A very successful
Liu-'ary Society has beeu .u operation
during the pa»t winter in tlie public school
bailding at Six Points Butler county.
About tify members constituted its active
force, anil ali others residing within the
confine# of the Six Points district were
elected honorary members. TUey were
all permitted to take an active p «rt when
ever they so desired. Some availed them
»elve* of this prmledge; other* remained
interested spectators. The institution
bears the high-sounding. but appropriate
cognomen, Philamathean Literary Society.
The member*,by the interest wnnh they
manifested in the proceedings of the S<>
ciety, established the tact that the title
which they had assumed was not a mis
nomer. The curriculum ot the institution
consisted of declamations, select reading-,
essays, original orations, ai.d debate*
All "this was usually lutcie, ersed with
dialogues of a humorous or natnetio char
acter. The performance were, as a rule,
highly entertaining, edit>ing and instruct

of visiting the Society occassionally as a
spectator, and I must say that 1 <* a- al

it every publio school turouguout tuis

uuxilary institution, in connection tli»-re
wiih.Such au should e, Ibe -
ltate not to-day, c.e eil and su.-taiucd by
torce of law. If I were a member ot the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, among my
first acts would be the introduction ot a
bill to that effect. The Pnilomtheau Lit
erary Society to which I have here reterred
gave a public exhibition IU the Brick
Church, at biz Points, id Allegheny t»p .
on last Thursday evening, the 7th instant,
which was attended by a very large and
appreciative audience. It is very credit*
ble to the people of Allegheny township
that they take such a deep interest in
such affairs. Standing room was at a
premium. A large and commodious stage
had been erected m one end of the audi
torium of the church, with drop curtain
and all the other paraphernalia necessary
to a proper rendition ot dialogues aud aiu
ature theatriele*. The church was taste
folly, even artistically decorated with everj
freens and culflowers, tor the occasion.
'he writer was present by special invita
tion, aud was greatly surprised aud pleas
ed with the rich, intellectual tea.»t to
which he bad beeu invited. As the keep

ates of his patrons, so this Society eudeav
ored, with eminent success, to gratify the
diverse, intellectual cravings ol all its
auditors, from the most grave and st leuin
down to the most hilarious. One dialogue
entitled, '"Howdy Andy," in which .two
negroes were impersonated, was played
with the special view of amusing the chil
dren present; aud, if one cau correctly es
timate ll*m the exuinberunce ot their
laughter, it did not tail short of iw pur
pose. They thought it the best pertorui

The Misses Blanche Crawford and
Blanche Muler did themselves proud —the
former in her salutatory, and the latter iu
her valedictory. Miss Libbie Adams, a
young aud accomplished elocutionist ol

Largest number ot scholars reported lor

assuredly very good. The conduct ot the

an honest nature, that 1 take pleasure iu

I fully realiaa tbe high responsibility

and truth. Parents, although your visits
to our school were fewer than they should
have been, yet by your kind words, friend

Again 1 thank yoa for your hearty co

To the scholars of the school, I once

valuable presents, given me at the end of
our school.
These will be kept and fondly cherished
