The CITIZEK presents its readers with an excellent portrait of our candidates for Congress-at-Large. GEOBGE FRA.VKLIS Ht/FF. George Franklin Huff was born in Nor ristown, Montgomery County, Pa., July 16, 1842, and is a son ot George and Caro line (Boyer) Huif. At four years ef age George F. Huff was taken by his parents to Middleton, Dauphin County, Pa., where he attended the public schools until 1831, when his parents removed to Altoona, Blair County. There he attended the public school till at the age of seventeen years. He then entered the shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to learn the trade of car finishing. After three years of assiduous labor he received with out solicitation on his part, a high recom mendation from his railroad employers to the banking house of William M. Lloyd & Co., who were at the time leading bankers of Blair county. He ocoupied a position with the firm, aud in 1865 they Bent him to Ebensbnrg to establish a banking house. In that mission he waa very sucoessful, and after a year was recalled to the bank at Altoona. In 1867 he removed to Greensburg, and established the Greens burg Deposit Bank of Lloyd, Huff & Co., with branches at Latrobe, Irwin aad Mt. Pleasant. These banks went out of busi ness in 1873, on account of the serious financial embaressmeut of the senior mem ber of the firm, W. M. Lloyd. His politioal career began in 1880, when he oame into national prominence in the Republican Convention at Chioagu as one of the "Old Guard" or "Immortal 306" in support of General Grant foi the Preniden tal nomination. In 1884 Mr. Huff was the Republican candidate for State Sen ator in the Thirty-ninth Senatorial Dis trict, comprising Westmoreland oounty. He was elected by a handsome majority. In 1887 he was nominated for Congress in the Twenty-first District by the Republi cans of Westmoreland county, but the dis trict nomination was secured by Samuel A. Craig, of Jefferson county. In 1890 he was again a candidate, and was nominated and elected, serving two years. In 1892 he was again a candidate, but was defeat ed for the nomination by D. B. Heiner, of Armstrong, the present incumbent. He was a member of Company C, Forty-sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, serv ing with distinction for a brief time in the war. He is a member of Greens burg Post, No. 276. GALTJSHA A. GEOW. Galusha A. Grow is so well known to the people of this State by reason of his recent phenomenal victory in the oontest • for Congressman-at-Large, he receiving a plurality of over 190,000, that an extended ■ketch is unnecessary. He was born in Connecticut, in 1824, and at an early age he removed with his parents to Snsque hanna county, in this State. Arriving at manhood, Mr. Grow studied law, was ad mitted to the Bar. and soon became active is politics. He was elected to Congress in 1850, and served in that body contin uously for twelve years, being Speaker of the House during his last term, 1861 to 1863. For thirtv years thereafter Mr. Grew held no public office, although he was always active in the promotion of Re publican principles and in support of Re publican candidates. In February last the ex-Speaker was elected to succeed the late Gen. Lily, Congressman-at-Large from this State. ALL honest and decent men rejoice at the defeat of Col. Breckenridge in Ken tucky. Every debauchee in the land would have hailed his success as an endorsement of the life he is living. Breckonridge's audacity was appalling, and he had the advantage of the oontrol of the party machinery and a divided opposition, but he was beaten. The Louisville "Courier-Journal," ac cepting the defeat of Col. Breckenridge as beyond controversy, declares "there was never such a political oontest fought out to the bitter end anywhere in the world,'' but rejoices that it culminated without a tragedy, and " happily nothing happened which the waters of oblivion may not wash." Tho issno, it says, was distinctly between morality and immorality, and it engulfed all other issues. It adds: In the face of the storm raised snd the odds at stake, it is amazing that Colonel Breckenridge, eloqueut and brilliant as he is conceded to be, held his own so well and polled so many rotes. That there wae not a total collapse is proof of a vitality almost incredible. But these who opposed his nomination were terribly in earnest. They believed that they were obeying God's mandate. They buliovcd thoy wore saving the dis trict and the 3taf.e a dire calamity. The lea<t excited among them, admitting all that might beclaiuied lor the ability of Co). Breckenridge, honestly thought that his capacity for useful service was ended. A Reversible Statesman. They continue to have # good deal of a time and some amusement with Congress man Joe Sibley out in the Twenty-sixth district. The uncertainties of Mr. Sibley's mind are such as to keep people guessing, and you don't know much better what's going to happen than you do at an old* fashioned donkey party. This reversible statesman, who doesn't belong to any political party, has once or twice telegraphed his declination of a re nomination for Congress, but the Demo crats of the district, who are generally out of meat, are not prepared to let him get away. Mr. Sibley's campaign two years ago was such an agreeable relief to empty Democratic pockets that It has been deem ed necessary that there should be a repeti tion of it. Mr. Sibley does not seem te oonsider it necessary, but everybody else does, and therefore, while he insists that he is not a candidate the Democrats of the district insist that he is. Then Mr. Sibley takes the ground that if they are determined to vote for him he can't help it, only he isn't a candidate; and if he should not be elected he would *ot look upon it as a defeat because he isn't a candidate. All this shows very clearly thai Mr. Bibley is a candidate and wants to continue to be, a? he could end the whole business in an hour whenever he wishes. Judge Bucher had some experi ence, it will be remembered. He kept writing letters of declination to Chairman Stranahan, which for some reason Chair man Stranahan never received, and Judge Buoher at last got out of patience doing business in that way and filed his with drawal in the office of Secretary of the Commonwealth. That ended it. If Mr. Sibley doesn't want to be a can didate Judge Bucher has shown him the way to get out of it. The law provides It. AU he need to do is to file a written declin ation, attested by a notary public, in the office of the Secretary of the Common wealth fifteen days or more before eleetion and he will be as completely withdrawn from the canvass as he will be on the morning after election, when he begins to figure up how the Hon. Matthew Oriswold got his majority. Having done this Mr. Sibley's name would not appear on the of ficial ballot, because the law says the nams of a candidate withdrawn shall not be printed. This is the way for Mr. Sib ley to get out of the race if he wants to, and he doesn't have to be told of it. The fact has been made apparent, how ever, that Mr. Sibley doesn't want to get out. He was bled so unscrupulously in his other oampaign that he is trying to save himself this time, and by pretending not to be a candidate he will be able to keep some of the strikers at a distance. He is merely playing a little game on the bovs - Prt**. Political Notes. Gen. Hastings opened the Campaign, Monday with a speech at Emporium, the county seat of Cameron, Co. He said the news from Kentucky came with joy to every decent man and waman in the land, and he discussed the Wilson bill at length. Hastings spoke at Bradford, Tuesday and the orowd was so great that an "overflow" meeting was neoessary. At the Republican State Convention held at Saratoga, X. Y. Tuesday, Levi P. Morton was nominated for Governor, and a platform was adopted, denouncing the assaults upon the industries of the country by the present Democratic Congress, and deolaring anew the allegiance of the Re publican party to the doctrine of Protect ion for American industries. An hohest dollar is advocated, together with the use of gold and silver as a circulating medium. The Ohio Democratic State Convention at Colnmbas, Wednesday, endorsed Sena tor Brice, and adopted a tree silver plank. The Republicans of Nevada have asked U. 8. Senator. John P. Jones to resign. They say decency requires it. In the sugar planters' oonrention at New Orleans, Monday,there were present not only the leading planters in Louisiana but some of the most representative of New Orleans. The bolters of the Dem ocracy had every thing their own way, and resistance to the program was but feebly made. The convention went over to the National Kepublican party in a body. Butler Pesbytery. This Presbytery met Sept. lltb, at Mud dy Creek Church,and many of your readers will be interested, I trust, in time items of the business transacted. This is one of the oldest churches of the Presbytery, and was united in one charge, under the care of Rev. John Coulter, in 1823. After ten years he resigned, Butler eontinuing the other two. The present pastor began his labor here in 1856 and was ordained the next spring and installed over this ohuroh and Centreville. The candidates for the ministry, W. S. Kreger and John A. Rogers, were received by Presbytery. Licentiate 8. M. Goeh ring returned the call of Mt. Nebo Church for one-half his time which he had held sinoe April. Licentiate Melzar D. Mc- Clellan accepted calls from Harlansburg and Prospect churches, and will supply them and continue his studies at the West ern Theological Seminary, till April, when he will be ordained aud installed. Calls from Concord, North Washington and New Salem churches were presented for Licentiate R. L. Alter, and a meeting was appointed at Concord, Tuesday, Oct. 2, to ordain and and inst ill him. Rev. W. E. Oiler to preach and charge the paster and Rev. W. L. McClure to charge people. Mr. Alter will be installed the next day at North Washington and New Salem, at the former place in the forenoon, Rev. T. M. Thompson to preach and charge the pastor and Rev. I. D. Decker to charge the people, at the latter in the afternoon, Rev. I. D. Decker to preach and cfcarge the paftor and Mr. Thompson to oharge the people. Mr. Thompson is invited to perform these services in view of his hav ing been at one time pastor of these churches and afterwards pastor of Freepori Church, of which Mr Alter was a member. Presbytery appointed the following per sons commissioners to Synod to meet at Tyrone, Pa., Oct. 18: Rev. Messrs Oiler, Eggert, McNees and Stewart and elders Thomas Hays, C. B. Conway, Albert Win ter and Wm. A. Buokholdt. Sessions were directed to introduce into all the families of the churches the Assem bly Herald, which oontains an immense, amount of information concerning the work of our boards, and is published at a very low rate. The Spring meeting was appointed at Butler on the 3d Tuesday of April. A discussion of the evils of the liquor traffic and the duties of the State, the ohnrch and the heads of families toward it took place in the evening. Rev. S. H. Moore, D. D., of Wilkene burg, Pa., presented the claims of our Board of Freedmen in an able and earnest address. Pastors were reminded of the action of the General Assembly, appointing Sunday Sept. 23d, for preaching on Temperance. A letter of credence was granted to "Win. if. Hays, pastor of Amity Church, in view of his purpose to spend the coming winter in stady in Edinburg, Scotland. The thanks of Presbytery were tendered to the people of Mnddy Creek Chnrch for their generous hospitality to its members on this occasion. J. R. COULTBB, S. C. Echoes of the Encampment At the session ot Thursday Morning, Thomas G. Lawler of Illinois was elected Commander in Chief. The candidates were General Ivan W. Waiker, of Indiana, and Col. Thomas G. Lawler, of Illinois. As they had been nominated the previous day there were no preliminaries, and the secretaries at once began to call the roll by States. Both candidates went into the election with entire confidence. Both had made a thorongh canvass on the previous night and each figured that ho would have from 40 to SO votes the best of it, and were not backward in declaring so. This was an indication of how close the fyendly contest reallv was. The States were called in alphabetical order. When Alabama was called she cast half her vote for each candidate. From that on till Illinois was reached Walker had the best of it. Lawler's own State cast a solid vote for him and succeeding states gave him a large vote and the lead. When Ohio was reached and gave Walker three-fourth 3 of her big vote and Pennsyl vania added her unit of 61 votes Walker s stock boomed upward. At the finish Law ler was 20 in the lead. Then the Council of Administration was polled separately and the tally was counted. It showed that Lawler had 330 votes and Walker 319. An Indiana delegate at once moved to make Colonel Lawler's election unanimous and with cheers and wild enthusiasm it was formally done, General Walker mak ing a graceful speech acknowledging hon est defeat and wishing his successful op ponent a happy and prosperous adminis tration. A. P. Burchficld of Pittsburg was elect ed Senior Vice Commander. The new officers elected by the ftur or ganizations are as follows, including the appointments made by Commander in G'heif Lawler: Grand Army of the Republic—Thomas Lawler, Commander in Chief, of Rockford, 111 ; Major A.

THR REUNIONS Nearly all the Butler county soldiers participated in one or more of the Brigade or Regimental reunions held on Wednes day or Thursday. Negley's brigade held theirson 6th Ave., Wednesday afternoon. A large number ofthe "boys"were present, and an organization was affected with Gen. Negley as President and Will Lowry of Butler, as Secretary. The brigade expects to attend the dedication of the eometery at Chattanooga next year, and will ask the Legislature to defray the expense. Gen. Negley was lookipg well, was in great spirits, shook hands with all present and could name most of them. He marched | with the parade Monday. The reunion of the 102 nd reg. was held in Turners Hall on the South Side. Dr. Thomas made the address of welcome, and Hon. D. B. Douthetc responded.

When the roll was called a member uatned Hollabaugb an swered "present." Hois a weather-beat en soldier-citizen, who since he laid down his musket had removed to Colorado. It was bin first reunion with his comrades in arms for many years. The name of the next man had been called when there was a rustle among the visitors and a tall and handsome woman stood up and repeated the name "Hollabaugh." The old soldier arose aud stood at atten tion when suddenly his soldierly training was forgotten. "My sistor," he half shouted, and with a glad cry he sprang toward her For getting the occasion in their mutual joy they embraced. Then suddenly remem bering themselves Mr. Hollabaugh explau ed to his comrades that the lady who call ed his name was a sister whom he had not met for twenty-seven years. She liyes in Mercer oounty and had attended the reunion of the Roundheads because her brother had been a member of the famous regiment and not frern any ex pectation of meeting with her long ab sent brother.

The regiment was engaged in 22 battles and wound up its cateer as a fighting regiment at Appomattox. Rev.

Lowry, Have Reached the Summit. The inrreyor* and levelm for the now railroad are making good progress and at this writing have passed over\he divide or summit and proceeded about midway be tween Kama City and Millerstown on their way to Oneida, and tSus far have one of the beat surveys that has ever been made over this famous property. At Pine Run, where the purveyors had reached in our last issue, the route is along the left ot Sugar creek which it follows unl'.'. Milliron City is reached, when it crosses the road and cuts Phillip Hillwig's barn in the middle, follows the right side until almost oposito the old mill bridge whero it returns to the left and from there continues up to about the blacksmith shop at Kaylor, when it passes along the side hill to the right till the Berean church is reached. Here the road is crossed and the bed of the run followed for a consider able distance, when a return to the right is made at the residence of J. S. Byers, or what is better known as the "ghost," where it follows the ravine to the right and about a mile and a half farther up en ters the "summit" with a tunnel on the McCullough farm. This tunnel will be 1,000 feet long with a 300 foot approach on this side and about 200 on the opposite. Making it 1,500 feet in length. Opposite this hill rise two others that were hard to get about, and hero, after a vigorous tramp through the woods we finally discovered the engineers in a stew whether to run around the hills or cut throngh them, thus saving a bad curve and long haulage. From the tunnel they cross the Milert McCullough and A. and J. Moore farms, and now run against the hardest work on the trip, as the water 3 of Bear creek.are directly in front, and across the hill next to pass is Buffalo creek. It was decided to make a cut through both these hills. One will require about 25 feet and the other not so much, when they will gbt a straighter aud shorter line. The P. <fc W. will be crossed here at grade to the Elliott farm, and then be gins the descent down about midway be tween Karns City and Millerstown to Oneida, which is plain sailing and is be lieved will only require a week more to complete. The grade has not yet been taken. —East Brady Bedew. THIS is the time for the best endeavors of patriotism. It it should grasp the great opportnnitiy now presented the Republi can party will enter npon a new it not a grander career in .1 he redemption of the land from industrial paraly sis, from the lack of confidence, which is the father of panics, from that commer cial frenzy which drives solvency to the wall, and from that unscrupulous quality of demagogy which seeks to array class against class, capital against labor, and section against section. — From Speech oj General Hastings at League of Clubs Con vention. . Breckenridge's Defeat, Saturday last was an exciting day in the Ashland Congressional district of Ken tucky, for the d»y was to decide whether the notorious Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge or a respectable man named Owens should be the regular Democratic nominee for Congress. The district is strongly Democratic aiul the regnlar nomination has, heretofore, been equivalent to an election. Breckenridge had control of the party organization in the district, and made a tremendous effort to secure a re-nomina tion. Feeling ran so high that violenoe, all over the district, was feared for Saturday, and there was considerable fighting, but only two fatal affrays ha\e been reported. There were three candidates and Owens received a plurality of about 300 over Breckenridge, who will contest for the nomination before the district committee, which meets at Frankfort, Saturday. THE Japanese army attacked the Chi nese at Ping Tang, in Corea, last Satur day, and won a complete victory. The Chinese fled from the field leaving 2,300 dead, and enough wounded and prisoners to make 16,000 in all. The battle was begun at daybreak of Saturday morning and continued till 3 o'clock Sunday morning, when two flank ing columns, acting in perfect accord, threw the Chinese into confusion, which was followed by unresisted butchery. On Friday iast the Japauose and Chinese fleets came together at the mouth of the Yalu river, when two of the Chinese war ships were sunk, and two burned, but the rest escaped. The total Chinese loss in killed, drowned and wounded is put at 1,500. Spidertown Gossip. ■While talking to the men of Spidertown we bear'tbat a great many things of im portance are b in g neglected by us, but pardon ug, for we will do better in the near futuro. By the way, we hear that school was opened last Tuesday under the auspices of Mr. James Shepherd. We wish you success, James. Sandy Hill against the world We are sorry to say that J. P. White sides has returned to Volant Coll ege after so short a vacation. You have our best wishes, Jonnie. Messrs Win. Whiteside and Mac. Leslie have purchased a steam threshing machine and are doing excellent work. Will is a No. 1 engineer. If you want your thresh ing done in style give *hem a bid. It is reported that John A. Glasgow has completed a water well at the depth of 50 feet. Some curious freaks of natural his tory have beeu developed according to the report of one of the employees. Hickory poles do good work during Democratic administrations, so says Harry Flick. Mrs. Ottie Flick and family, of Alle gheny City, are spending the hot, dry weather with her parents, Mr. and Mrs Snyder Glasgow, of Spidertown. George Cratty is in the employ of John Harbison, Sr. J. A. Glasgow's team took fright at a steam engine and ran away with a load oi straw recently. A bad wreck of the straw, but no damage. Many important fires haye occurred in onr vicinity of late. The first of note was on Sunday evening, a week ago. Fire was discovered in Wm. Cunningham's woods 11 miles north of Bakerstown, fire alarms were sounded and about 75 men and wo men were soon on the scene. After a hard struggle the fire was gotten under control, but was watched till Monday morning by many of the anxious crowd. The next worthy of note was S. B. Harbison's straw stack. Of all the fires recorded on the pages of history this is the most miraculous. The fire was started by a small boy play ing with matches in the barnyard. The stack was burned to tinder and the fire burned within eight feet of the stable door. The loss is by no means heavy, but it should be a lesson to parents not to give small children matches to play with. Yours truly for more news in the future, from your charming girls of Spidertown. NANCV BELLE. The midnight express on the Santa Fe railroad was held up by train robbers Tuesday morning. The train officials were prepared for tho robbers aud had on board a dozen officers with Winchesters loaded with buckshot. The robbers stop ped the train and shot the engineer before saying a word, and four of them sprang for the Wells, Fargo & Co. express car. There they were met with a fusilade from the Winchesters loaded with buckshot and all were severely wounded. Sonora. Our schools ara progressing finely. A Sabbath School picnic was held at Greece City, Tuesday. Most of the old soldiers attended the re union, at Pittsburg, last week. The North Butler choir rendered a beautiful anthem last Sunday. It was ap preciated by all. Abraham Martin was kicked by a vicious horse one day last week. He is at present in a very critical condition. H. IT is a satisfaction to know that Mad eline Pollard will not bo permitted to go on the stage. The managers who were talking of bringing her out have tound it impossible to secure dates for her. The public taste may be low, but it has not reached the point that will accord honors to a woman whose only claim is based < n her folly and shame, coupled with the in lemy of a man in public life who onght to be behind prison bars. It is a satisfaction to find that the public taste is not as depraved as it is sometimes made to seem. DEATHS ST. CLAIR—At his home in Worth twp.. Sept. 12. 18&4, W. W.
