BIT, after all, the action of the Con vention was not entirely formal and pre arranged. The delegates asserted their independence enough to insert in the platform a most significant declaration of political faith—that declaring against the free coinage of cheap silvef. For this explicit and unmistakable declara tion of sound Republican doctrine the party is indebted to Representative Ri ter, who proposed it, and to Congressman Dalzell who so ably advocated it before the Convention after it had been reject ed by the Committee; but the body of delegates who voted for it are entitled to the credit of affirming "the settled doctrine of the party that the honor of the Nation and the interests of its citizens reqnire the maintenance of a National currency, every dollar of which, wheth er gold, silver or notes, shall be of stable value and of equal purchasing power." The further declaration of "opposition to the debasement of the National currency by the admission of silver to free and unlimited coinage at the arbi trary ratio of 16 to I" is a logical and necessary deduction from the sound doctrine above set forth, but it is a good thing to have it stated in language no man can misunderstand or explain al- ways. Some minor and incidental points of the platform may be open to criticism, but in all essental features it is admira ble. It declares for protection of Ameri can industries, for a sound and stable currency and for cleaner politics and a more independent civil service. A Con vention that gives expression to these sound party doctrines and at the same time nominated a good State ticket certainly deserves the credit of having fairlv discharged the duties its delegates assumed- Agi ta tor. The Yacht Races. The aluminum yacht named "Defend er" built to defend the America cup against the challenge of the English yacht, named "Valkyrie," won the first race by 8 minutes, last Saturday after noon. The course was from a light-ship of! New York harbor, fifteen miles to windward and return, thirty some miles, including tacks, and as the wind was light the time was slow, five hours. The American yacht proved herself su perior to the English yacht both close hauled and before the wind. The second race occurred Tuesday, and the Valkyrie came in half a mile ahead, but the Defender protests the race on ac count of the Valkyrie fouling her, and carrying away her spreader. Louisville. The Encampment of the G. A. R. at Louisville this week, is the first to be held South of Mason and Dixon's line. The city is in the possession of the vet erans. The features of Tuesday's festivities were the parades of the naval veterans and "Sons of Veterans." It was a long column. That afternoon, the women composing the delegates to the Ladies of the Lr. A. R. and the Woman's Relief Corps were given a carriage ride through out the city. The "breaks" of the largest tobacco market in the world were open for in spection.

Oar neighbors, ths good people of the city of Franklin, the county »ett of \e nango county, celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the foundation of that place on the 4th, sth, and 6ih of this month. From the account of the celebration as given in the papers of Oil City and Frank lin, nearly the wnole people of Venango county were present and participating, and the Centonniai was a notsd success. The displays were all intended to illus trate the wonderful changes made in that place within lb4 time it waa lirst settled, Sep't. 1793 an I Sep't, 1595. a hundred y irs. A history of the city was given an I addresses made by the present pr< uii nent citizens of the city. We felt a special intrres: in the celebration inasmuch as several "Bailer County boy»" are now among the prominent and >-uccessfu! citi zens of Franklin Among then? are Ben jamin W. Bretlin. born and raised in B«it ler; Wilhatn B. McXair, Esq.. also born and raised in this place; Isaac Ash, Esq., born and raised in this county and a form er member of our Bar; Vlr. J. T. Campbell, also of this county and a suocessful mer ch?nt, and perhaps others. D;d space permit we might reler to some of the addresses made on the occasion. Bat there w.:s one, made by an Indian, a deceadact of Cornplanter, called Logan, wuich was peculiarly touching and elo quent. and illus-raled the great change a hundred years had made to his race as well as to the "pa.e faces." Toe follow ing is bis speech: Mr President, Ladies and Gentlemen—l am sorry lt»t 1 have been ov restimated by the president in his saying lha; I am the greatest orator among the Ind ans. I think there are a great many of my In dian friends who are as to make a speech as I am. In listening to the speeches made rmy learned friends, in which they referred to the ai".van'ages which your people to-day enjoy, and to what you are doing to advance yocrselves in the ways of civilization, 1 could not help out think of what my people were a hundred years ago. What were the) ? It reminded me of one of ibe remarks 1 heard here, lhatyoa do not want to allow any sluggards or drones in your community. But there were drones among our people While the women bad to go to work in itie fields, the men laid in the shade. That is the kind of drones we were 100 years ago. Bv, time has changed since we haye come in contacl with the pale face, although there have been many drawbacks resulting from our coming in contact with them But then I think that it is the will of t*ie Great Spirit that these times be brought ar< and tor our benefit and for the benefit of the Indians, who are coming behind us. Oar women in those days usau to carry their children on their back»; to day they push toem algon iu little carriages, Witn a silk umbrella over the face of tiie little child. That is something new. Weu-»ed to tie our i>a pooses on boards, so tight that they could not stir. Tne idea was that when they grew up tbey murt be a- straight as a siring. Today we do not do that We lay tndm on pillows as soft as we can make them. Al! of thesis things we learn ed from oui pale-l toed brethren. Aiy forefathers u»ed u go around over these hilla 100 years ago. There were no roads; there were simply foot-paths lhat webbed these hills, and on which they traveled. To-day we have roads, to-day we have cars down here at the bottom of this hill with no horses in front. We have been carried from our homes by the iron horse, as you call it, I balieve. We were landed here very quickly. In former days it would have taken us days from our place here. We look at it as a great wond er. When we come to think of it, we think what a wonderful people the white people ire. Judging from the ehanges that have been wrought in the last fifty years, if it is to continue everything on the face of the earth will pay obeisance to the white man. But we are following that civiliz ition to-day, my friends. Yon look at my paop'e that are here to day. Jome of them are there in the field repre senting a game which our forefathers used to play. We do not play lhat game now daily, We are attending to agricultural pursuits, sending our children to school, learning the ways of civilization, and I think it is not tar distant when my people will become as one of your peopie, becom ing citizens of this great and glorious country, which really is oars, bat will be long to us more when we become citizens. But I want to assure you of one thing, rav friends, when we do become citizens we will all be liepablicans, (Great applause and laughter.) I desire to say before I close,my friends, that we have b«*en invited here by the people of Franklin and have been enter tained very nicely, and in behalf of my people I extend our thanks to the presi dent, Mr. Forbes, and to my f-iend, Mr James, for the courtesies we hav.- received at their hands. We have been treated lixe ladies and gentlemen, and I only hope that Mr. Forbes and Mr. James will have the good luck to be here and attend an other Centennial celebration 100 years from now. (Applause.) HARRISVILLE ITEMS. Picnics have been all the rage in our town for a lew .reek; l .

Rev Sam'l Kerr was introduced to re spond for the "old people." Mr Kerr kept bis hearers in good humor with his witty remarks, and his reference t<> what would happen if Mr Braham was president of the Cnitad States was specially good and caused roars of laughter.

After securing the hands, and when returning on his way home, riding hi-* pony, it scared at some stones at the side of the road, near Xo. 10 school house. After trying sou'etime to get it past the stones he dropped his whip anl got off the pony to recover it.

JUNE has hitherto been the favorite month for the Republican National Con vention; but there is a feeling abroad in favor of postponing the event next year until September, and thus make a short er campaign, which, besides l>eing cheap er, would lie less of a disturbance to the business interests.

In pursuance of very appropriate cus tom the Sessions of Xew Salem Church would take the following action: First, by a tribute of a few appropriate . words, we desire as a Session to note the appreciation of our loss some wwks ago i in the death of William D. Allen We, believing that worth ought to be j recognizsd, are encourage d in tendering j this. Werecoguizj, even at this time | when vital action and reaction migln j naturally have ceased, that it is the "Lord ! that hath taken away,"and we are admoa- ! ished by this lesson. We, thirdly, would not only as those ! entrusted with the care of a body of God's people, but as Christian meu enjoined to "weep with those that weep" again offer a word of condolence to those whose father with us has gone with.such wordstoothers However ripe may fce the age, there is al- j ways a sense of los-s Fourthly, as a Session we feel that we met with more an ordinary los-; we can do without men of ordinary abilities sometimes; we believe, we can do without men ol extra ordinary abilities; but we feel that tirst by age, and then by death we have met ouo of these extra ordinary losses. He was recognized by alias intelligent, but pride of pride: ho was adeptly intelli gent in God's word. There are lew who have a knowledge of God's voru that they could use with purpose, he had". Thus ho WUJ one of the men in thii knowledge that we would commend to all. While, however, we thus consider him to have been a Paul in intelligtnce and an Apollos in the wielding of it, he had the third gTeat essential of a rounded ' hristian. he was a James.in living it; he was a man eminent in intelligence. He was a man strong in reason, but to any mans' com mendation he was a man of conduct. That as a Session we want to put humble tribute ol this on record, be it resolved, therefore, that we ofl'er these few words as such, and that we incorporate them in to the minutes of Session and present them to the Butler CITIZKK for pub licatior. "Know ye that a piince and a great man hath fallen to day in Israel." Such we feel has fallen in our midst. e. d.
