GRAHAM, Of Connoqnenessing twp Lincoln League- Messrs Bowser and Black will address the meeting of the Lincoln League, this (Friday) evening, at Huselton Hall at 8 p.m. Vote for them All. Judge Fell is an able jurist and will be a valuable addition to the Supreme Bench. Col. Jackson, of Armstrong, candi date for St%to Treasurer, is an exceptional ly able, cleanf man. Both have high soldier records. Andrew G. Campbell our candidate for Sheriff is a'farmer, soldier and stoorkeeper; a reliable and exemplary business man. J. S. Wick, onr candidate for Register and Recorder, was raised An a farm, was for several years the host of the Wick House here, is a man above reproach, and is now and always has been a Republican. Samuel M. Seaton, our nominee lor Pro thonotary, is a farmer and soldier, a thorough going, worthy and able man who should receive the united support of his party. John T. Martin, our nominee for Treas urer, was raised on a farm and has been a farmer all his life. No man stands, or can stand, higher in the community in which he lives than does John T. Martin. Joseph Criswell. our nominee for Clerk of Courts, is a farmer and soldier. He has made a very acceptable officer, and will continue to do so for three years more. Samuel W. McCollough, one of onr nominees for County Commissioner, is a farmer and soldier; and Richard Kelly, the other nominee, is a school teacher and soldier. Both are responsible, clear head ed, well informed and worthy men, who will make good County Commissioners They should receive the vote *f every Re publican in the county; and those Demo crats who cannot conscientiously vote for the one of their nominees now under in diotment will make no mistake in voting for either or both of them. John X. Allison and Robert H. Young, our nominees for Auditors are both excel lent men, who will bring to the discharge of their duties the intelligence and up rightness required. George M. Graham, our nominee for Coroner, is a farmer and school teacher, a worthy man and one capable of filling a much better office than the one to which he aspires. An X mark in the circle at the head oi the Republican column of the official bal lot will be a vote for all these men—for the straight Republican ticket. It is easily and quickly made. Go to the polls early next Tuesday and vote for as strong a tick et as we have ever nominated. THE first column of the official ballot is the Republican column; there is a ring or circle at the head of it, and an X mark in that circle votes the whole Republican ticket. Make an X mark there, and make no other marks on the ticket before hand ing it to the election officer. It's Easy to Vote. The new ballot law of this Common wealth makes the act ot' voting simplicity itself for the voter, doii.g away with, or throwing upon the election officers, many of the puzzling details that have made so much trouble under the systems of other States. Under the new system all a voter who wishes to vote a straight party ticket has to do is to walk into the booth and prepare his ballot by marking a cross in the circle at tho head of the party ticket, then refold the ballot just as it was given to him and walk out and hand it to the election officer appointed to receive it. One little mark does the whole business. The election officer folds the ballot properly before giving it to the voter, and, when it is returned to him, numbers the ballot in the corner and covers the number by pasting down the corner, as provided by the law, before depositing it in the box. No one need woiry himself a bit as to his ability to mark a ballot correctly at the next election, provided he votes a straight ticket for all he needs to notice is which is his party ticket and then put a cross in the circle at the bead of it. The voter who wishes to split his ticket, hou ever, or who wishes to vote for only a portion of the officers to be elected will proceed in the same way he did last year—by making a cross opposite the namo of each candidate for whom he wishes to vote. This requires some care, and the man who proposes to kick over the party traces should post bim self thoroughly, or his vote may be in validated by wrong marking. THB new election law excludes from the polling booth all except certain persons who are mentioned in the law. Here are a few of the penal offenses mentioned in the new law: Allowing a ballot to be seen, with apparent intention of showing marks; casting, or attempting to cast, an unofficial ballot, or one improperly obtain ed, or falsely declare to a judge of election that, by reason of any disability, he de sires assistance in the preparation of his ballot; interfering with voters; inducing voters to show ballots, uncovering num bers or disclosing the contents of any bal lot that has been marked by his help; hindering voters; destroying, defacing or delaying the delivery of ballots; having ballots in possession, other than sample, outside of voting room. Aif X mark in the ring at the head ofthe Republican column, of the official ballot, votes the whole Republican ticket next Tuesday. It i 3 easily done, and should be done as early in the day as possible. DOS T trade votes. The entire Republi can ticket, is safe without any trading, and trading is a game that helps tho mi nority party alone. Abi the man who is walking the streets lonkmg for something to do what ticket he ;n euds to vote next week. You will probabJj get some information. An "Off Year." j State Chairman Gilkeson in his appeal to Republicans says. "This is what is called an "off year" in politics, hence the vote is apt to fall off. We cannot afford, however, to have our majority reduced this year. There never wore so many object lessons presented all over this State to convince Republicans that it is their duty to turn out and vote. On every hand can be seen evidences of Democratic times: the deserted farm, the silent factory and workshop, and in the large cities soup societies (the only indus try created by the Democratic party) abound; men heretofore prosperous now almost redaced to want; the workingman not only out of employment, but his wife and little children asking for bread and he powerless to help them. Certainly there should be no trouble in getting the grand old Republican party in motion far the final charge upon the ah of November. One short year ago, under Republican rule, this State, and our coun try at large, was contented,prosperous,and happy. Look at our condition now. What is the causef On every hand comes the answer, (ear of the Democratic party and the measures they propose. I appeal to you not only as a Repubtican, but as a pat riot and one who loves his fellow-man, to help bring this dear land of ours back to the times of prosperity and happiness. The only way to do this is to get out the full Republican vote and by calling upon the honest workingman, hitherto voting the Democratic ticket, and who, last year, was fooled and lied to, to vote wilt ns this year. Let us make our majority in Pennsylvania so great that even the rebel now in the saddle at Washington will know that at last the great loyal North is awake and cannot longer be trifled with." THE Republican county ticket is made up of men who command the respect and esteem of the communities in which they live. They are all good men and were placed on the ticket because of their fit ness. That they will be elected there is no question. Their friends are legion, and they do not propose to leave a stone un turned to help the ticket. It ought to get 1200 majority,and Republicans can pnt the figures that high and hold them there by a hearty effort. Election Days are Legal Holidays. The Act of the late Legislation approv ed May 23d 1893, makes the general elec tion days, e. the third Tuesday of Feb ruary, and the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November, legal half-holidays, from 12 o'clock noon till midnight of such days, and makes all bills, checks, drafts, notes, etc., due on these days, payable or presentable at or before noon of such half holidays; but the Act following this and approved May 31, 1893, puts the November election day among the list of whole holi days, to be treated as Sunday so far as the presentation of bills, drafts, notes, etc. is concerned; and makes such payable or pre sentable on the succeeding business day. These two acts approved within eight day* of each other conflict so far as the November election day is concerned, but is probable that the last Aot will hold good and that the whole of the November elec tion day will hereafter be treated as a legal holiday by the Banks. NBVBR believe last hour reports regard ing candidates. The Republican ticket is composed ot honorable and responsible men, and no credence should be given derogotary statements about them circula ted at the close of the campaign. End of the Fair. It was intended to make Monday a jubilee day at the Fair; but tho a?sasina tion of Mayor Harrison caused the entire programme to be abandoned, and the meeting held in Festival Hall was more ot a memorial service. Resolutions of Re spect for their dead Mayor were passed and then the Fair was declarod closed by Thomas W. Palmer, President of the National Commission, in the following words: It was intended to olose this Fair sim ultaneously with the sound of this gravel, the fiiring of artillery and the lowering of the flag. All this has been changed by the sad circumstances which brings us together now. I announce that when the san sets the closing will be marked only by a salute and the hauling down of the flag. When that takes place, I declare in obedience to the act of Congress the Ex position is officially closed. At 6 o'clock that evening, Ihe flags, which had been floating at half-mast were hauled down and the Fair ended. The grounds are yet open to visitors, but the exhibits are being paeked, small build ings are being taken down, and railway tracks hare been laid into the grounds. The total of paid admissions, including Monday, was 21,480,910; the gate receipts were about $10,500,000, the receipts from concessions $4,000,000, from souvenirs $2,- 500,000, and from capital stock and indi vidual subscribers $10,600,000, making a total of about $28,400,000. The total cost of the bnildings and im provements was about $25,000,000, and what money was made if any, will revert to the subscribers. This Fair has been one of the most suc cessful international exhibitions ever given. A RBPCBLICAN exchange well says that there should be "no stay at homes" this fall when an opportunity is given to let the Democratic Congress know what we think of their dilly-dallying; their subser vience to bourbon methods including the revival of the nullification policy. The financial depression, the attitade of the In terior Department towards tho soldiers throaghout the Union, the State bank heresy; the reckless assault upon the American industries and American labor should meet with the condemnauju in the State of Pennsylvania which they deserve. The opportunity to make tbo first forcible condemnation comes on election day, the 7th of November. Fairvicw Items. Mrs. S. L. Miller, and one of her chil dren are up from their home at Mcßride City, visiting her mother, Mrs. Mattison. There was a meeting at J. J. Maxwells livery barn on Thursday night, conducted by Mr. Gibson, to organize a Creamery plant. The building and general stock in all necessary, will cost $4,100, with not less than the use of 150 cows. We hope it will coatinue in progress until it is com pleted. Mrs. J. M. Michaels who was fatally hurt by a fall on the evening of Oct 21st is still prostrate and not recovering her t trength. The citizens of our town were all awak ened and somewhat disturbed by a band, on Tuesday night. They didn't succeed in in playing any piece of music clear through as they drove through town, stopping in front of certain houses. fm. McCafferty of Butler drove through town here Tuesday in company with Alex ander M. Beers, a democratic candidate. They made their stay very short. It din't Uke long for that denomination of candi dates to work up onr town. There was a social party at Peter Bol lingers on Tuesday night. DBMT. DOK'T trade any votes and don't com pliment the candidates of your opponents by voting for them. The Republicans of Butler county can elect every man on their county ticket by each one voting for them. All that is needed is tor each Re publican in the county to see that he him :e feasts a straight Republican vote and | there will be no question of the result. 1 OHIO will giye au immense Republican Imnjority next Tuesday; uud Xew York will probably go Republican. Washington Notes. On Thuraday the Senate was yet held up by the silver senators who talked all day. Senator Quay pressed his amend ment to extend the time for the repeal to take.effect to Jan. 1, 1896. On Friday some voting wus done. The vote on the Peffer amendment to the Voor hees bill was 49 nays and 28 ayes. Saturday was devoted to speech-making in the Senate, and appearances indicated that the final vote would be taken on Mon day. On Monday the Silver Senators made their farewell speeches, some of which were very pathetic, Cameron read another essay in which he says free coinage is es sential to National prosperity, and predicts terrible things as the result of repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. Some of the Southern and Western Sena tors developed considerable ill humor. The vote was taken about 7 p. m., and the Voorhees substitute for the Wilson bill or "House Bill No. 1" was passed finally by a vote of 43 to 32. Every autspoken Senator voted in ac cord with the sentiments he had expressed n the Chamber, and the compromisers of both the repeal and anti-repeal men re mained as they have been placed for some time, on that side to which they most leaned. There was no rush for the admin istration covers as there was in the House when the Wilson bill was passed. Exact ly a quorum voted for repeal. This was made up at follows: ReDublicans—Aldrich, Carey, Cullom, Davis Dixon, Dolph, Frye, Gallinecr,Hale, Hawley, iiiggins. Hoar, Lodge, McMillan, Uanderson, Morrill, Piatt, Proctor, Quay, Sherman, Squire, Stockbridge, Washburn —23. Democrats—Brice. Caffery,Camden, Faulkner, Gibson, Gordon, Gray, Hill,Hun ton, Lindsay, McPherson, Mills,Mitchell of Wisconsin, Murphy Ransom, Smith Tur pie, Vilas, Voorheet-, White of Louisiana — 20.

Democrats —Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Butler, Call, Cook rell, Coke, Daniel, George, Harris, Irby, Jones of Arkansas. Martin, Pasco, Pugh, Roach, Vance. Vest, Walthall—l9. Popu lists—Allen, Kyle, Peffer—3. Absent and Paired—Allison, Chandler, Colquitt, Gordon, Ilansbrough, Mitchell of Oregon, Morgan, Palmer, White of Califor nia and, Wilson—lo. Tuesday, the repeal bill went over to the House, but Bland objected to its con sideration that day, and it went over till next. Wednesday afternoon the repeal bill again passed the llouse, this time by a vote of 191 to 94. and it will now go to the President. Gov. MCKINLEY, Gon. Alger and Gen. Woodford, all spoke at Dayton, 0., last Thursday. Surprise Party in Muddycreek Township. MK. EDITOR:—WiII you kindly give space in your paper for a briel communica tion in relation to a surprise party at the residence of Mr. Johj A. Vogan, wife and family of, Muddycreek twp., Butler Co. On the morning of the 25th of October, 1893, the friends and neighbors (among them a goodly number of boys in blue) be gan to assemble at the home ol Mr. John A. Vogan, and the people still continued to come until there was hardly room to re ceive them. All the forepart of the day people continued to arrive on the grounds, and to say there was a large number pres ent, will onlv be putting it mildly. The occasion of this large gathering ot people was for tho purpose of celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary ol the weddiug ol Mr. Vogan and wife. Soon after tho ar rival of the guests, the lumber yard was visited and the construction of tables was begun, which was soon completed under tho management of Mr. Frank Double and Peter Xeely at which time the ladies came in for their part of the preparation, which was to load down the tables with the sub stantial of this life which thoy did in fine style, and when tho noon hour arrived, the guests seated themselves at the tables by fifties, and after the Divine blessing had been said by the venerable father-in-law of Mr. Vogan, (Mr. Curry) all did enjoy the repast to the full extent of their ability. When all had become sati>fied with the delicacies the table afforded, a lady passed toothpicks to the gentlemen in the shape ol 20 penny nails, a joke that afforded con siderable merriment. Dinner being over, as many as could as semble in the yard in front of the house did so, and the rest gathered on the verandas, when the meeting was organized by elect ing T. P. Double chairman and J. B. Mar tin secretary,, when the Chair called on Mr. John Davis for a i-peech, and among other things he complimented the host and his better half on thuir very happy voyage this far in life, and wished them many years more of life's pleasures; and without sociality the human race would be little better than the brute creation. The next speaker was Mr. John Weigle who spoke in very flattering terms of the host and lami ly, and how Mr. Vogan had given a good part of the earlier years of his life to this country and his country's cause, by serv ing in the Ronnd-head Regiment, in the the ranks of which Comrade Vogan march ed, fought and suffered. Mr. Joseph Up degraph spoke "Barbara Fritchie" to the edification of all present. Mr. Matthew Badger spoke of the shortness of lifo, and the need of preparation for the next world. Mr. Archibald Mnrphy expressed some very appropriate words to those assembled. Wbo were there 1 Well now yon have got me; some we remember are James Pigor and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dou lle.

Assassination of the Mayor of Chicago. The people of Chicago were appalled and this Nation wai startled by the assassina tion o! Carter H. Harrison, Mayor of Chi cago, last Saturday evening, by a "crank" named Prendergast who claims that the deed was done in revenge for not being appointed to office. Prendergast called at Harrison's home about 8 p. M. of Saturday, asked for the Mayor who at that time was lying asleep on a lounge, and when the Mayor came to the door he fired four bullets into his body. Harrison died about twenty minutes alter, and Prendergast went to a police station, acknowledged his crime and gave himself up. Carter Henry Harrison was born Febru ary 15, 1825, in Fayette county, Kentucky. His father inherited a tract of land and an uncut forest and on this tract he erect ed a one-room log house,in which Chicago's late mayor was born. At the age of 15 Carter H. Harrison was sent to school to Dr. Lewis Marshall, brother of the late chief justice and father of the celebrated Kentucky orator, Thomas Marshall. He entered as a sophomore at Vale college two vears later, in 1842, and graduated in the class of 1845 at the age of 20. He then began his career as a traveler going over the continent of Europe, thence into Egypt and thence with Bayard Tayli r through Syria and Asia Minor. He returned to his native comtry in 1853 and finished his legal education at Transylvania law school, Lexinton. Ky., where he graduated in the spring ot 1855. Mr. Harrison was married in April of the same year to Miss Sophonisda Preston of Henderson, Ky., and went to Chicago on a bridal tour. He was very much pleased with the outlook ot the town on t,he lake, and invested all his available cash in real estate there. Twelve days later he hung (mt his shingle as a lawyer and a real estate dealer. Mr. Harrison'afirst appearance in politics was in 1871, just after the great tire, when he was elected county commissioner on a mixed ticket. He *as nominated tor con gress by the Democrats in 1872, but was defeated by 3,309 votes by I. D. Wood. He ran again for congress two years later and was elected by a majority of 8 votes over Wood He became a member of the Forty fourth congress from the Second, now Third, Illinois district in March, 1875 He was again sent to congress in 1876 and in April. 1879, he was elected Democratic mayor of Chicago. He was nominated for govenor in July, 1884, but was defeated. His subsequent candidacy for the office of Uuited States senator also proved unsuc cessful. One of the acts which established his record as an economist was the defeat of the proposition to puv an abstract firm $750,000 for abstract books and records after the tire. At about this time Chicago's mayor had entirtly overcome his early diffidence and was fast earning laurels a> «u orator. His oratory was of the "spread eagle" sort, and "Carter ana his eagle" soon became house hold words in Chicwifo. At the expiration «>f Mr. Harrison's term as mayor in 188<i he started out again for an extended tour of the world and remained abroad nearly a year Upon his return to Chicago lie was received with public dem onstrations and escorted to his home at he head ot a great civic parade. Mr. Harrison ran as an Independent Democratic candidate for mayor in 1891, but was defeated by Hempstead Wash burne. At the beginiug of the present year he again became a candidate for mayor on the regular Democratic ticket. His opponent on the Republican side. Samuel W. Atherton, a wealthy pork packer, had almost the entire support of the Chicago press, but, for a second time Carter Harrison overcame all opposition, and on April 4of the present year was elected mayor by a majority of 20,000. His election created the most intense excitement in Chicago. Mayor Harrison was a mighty talker. Lie t-ilked his way into trouble and out ol it again with equal facility. Personal vanity was one of his ruling characteristics, but behind all his verbosity and seeming superlicialties there was sturdy horse sense. He was a hard and constant worker. Mr. Harrison was ambitions to be the World's Fair mayor of Chicago. He pur chased the Chicago Times in September. 1891, which bad been through several trials after the death of its founder, W'lbur F. Story, Placing his two sons in charge he started on a journalistic career. Mr, Har rison always declared that he would have nothing to do with the management or policy of tho paper. He said he had just purchased it for his "boys," but little matters of policy began to peep out which indicated that Mr. Harrison was at the helm. The most sensational features of the Times was its broadside attack on the gambling element. It hail failed to sup port Mr. Harrison in 1891, The aflairs of Mr. Harrison were skillfully looked after in the paper. THE Moors have been whipping the Spaniards in northern Africa. One Span ish general was killed last week. DON'T forget the a X mark in tho circle at the head of the Hepublican ticket, on the 7ih day ot November, will vote the straight Republican ticket.

J. X. Axighenbavgh Of Etters, Pa. Blood Poisoning Intense Suffering II Years. Hood's Healed, the Sore in Seven Weeka A Perfect Cure. "I will recommend Hood's Sarsaparlla as Orst-class. It has proved Its merits to us. Twelve years ago my wife was picking rasp berries when she scratched herself on a brier, the wound from which soon developed into a terrible sore, between her knee and ankle. Not withstanding all we did for It, it continued dis charging for eleven long years. We tried medi cal ikillon every side, with no effect. About a year ago she read of Hood's Sarsaparilla and conoluded to try It herself, and while taking the first bottle she felt better and continued with It Hood's sr. Cures until today she is entirely well and better than ever. The sore was healed up In seven weeks. Her limb Is perfectly sound. We attribute her cure entirely to Hood's Sarsanarllla." JACOB N.
