OUR NOM INEES.
Our county, as a whole, has no nomi
nee or nominees for Congress, but both
Messrs Showalter and Mcjunkin will at
tend the Congressional convention with
their delegates.
Senator Showalter was born in Fayette
county in 1851, taught school when a
young man, came to Butler County in
1873, and with his brothers, has since
been engaged in producing oil. He was
elected to the Legislature in 1886, and to
the State Senate in 1888, and has taken
active interest in public affairs and poli
tics since. .
J. David Mcjunkin was born in Centre
twp., in 1839, taught school when a
young man, read law with Judge Mcjun-1
kin, and has been a practicing attorney
since. He has also been intere*ted in the
production of oil. He earned Butler
county in 1880 and iBB2 for Congress but
did not succeed in securing the nomina
tion in the dUtrict, then composed of
Butler, Mercer and Crawford counties.
William H. Ritter our nominee for
State Senate, was born in Allegheny city
in 1843. He began life as a salesman,
and has spent the greater part of his lif«
in the dry goods business. He has al
ways taken an active interest in politics,
was an unsuccetsful candidate for the
Legislature two years ago, but went at it
again, and this year lands one of the best
prizes on the string.
James N. Moore one of our nominees
for Assembly, was born in Worth twp in
1859. He taught school when a young
man, read law with Chas McCandless,
and has practiced law since. He was el
ected to the Legislature in 1894, and his
record was such as to insure his re-nomi
nation. The vote cast for him was the
largest at the late primary.
John Dindinger the other nominee for
Asaembly, was born in Beaver county in
1839; began life in a store, was a member
of the 168 th Pa. Vols, and since 1874 has
been engaged in the mercantile business
in Zelienople.
For Sheriff our nominee is W. B. Dodds
of Middlesex twp. Mr. Dodds was born
in Connoquenesting twp, but passed most
of his boyhood years with an uncle in
Franklin twp. When bnt sixteen years
of age he went west and lived for a time
on a farm near Paxton, Illinois, and
while there joined the loth Illinois cav
alry, then home on a furlough and was
with them till the end of the war. The
regiment was mustered out of service at
San Antonio, Texas. He is 50 years of
age, has lived in Muddycreek two for
the past 25 years, served as Clerk cf
Courts, and has all the necessary qualifi
cations for the office for which he has
been nominated, and will undoubtedly lie
elected.
For Register and Recorder our nominee
is W. J. Adams of Hilliards. Mr. Adams
was born at Brady's Bend and raised in
Washington twp. He sold his farm and
for some years engaged in the mercan
tile business in Hilliards. He afterwards
was employed on the railroad, and lost
his left hand by an accident. Three
years ago he came within 8 votes of mak
ing the nomination for Register and Re
corder, and this year was considered a
•ure winner from the beginning of the
campaign. On Friday last, he was taken
sick of pneumonia, while stopping at the
Park Hotel in Butler. He is yet very ill
but is in a fair way for recovery.
Robert J. Thompson our nouiiee for
Prothonotary was born in West Sunbury
in 1843. In April of 1861, shortly after
the civil was broke out, he enlisted in Co.
H. i3th Pa. Vols, and afterwards re-en
listed in Co. E of the io3rd. He was
taken prisoner in April of 1864, and pass
ed the following 8 months in the Confed
erate military prisons at Andersonville,
Charleston ana Florence. He taught
school for 3 years after the war, and then
read law in lowa and was admitted to the
bar. He came back to this county in
1892, engaged in the production of oil at
Greece City and Troutman; was Post
master at W. Sunbury during Harrison's
administration, and is now a resident of
that town.
Isaac Meals our nominee for Clerk of
Courts was born in Washington twp, and
raised in Concord. He taught school
when a young man and afterwards fann
ed. He was elected a County Auditor in
1872; has clerked for the Commissioners
for the past 6 years. He was a candidate
for this office some years ago, but was un
successful, but this time wax more fortu
nate, and he will, no doubt, make a very
acceptable Clerk of Courts.
For County Commissioners our nomi-
nees are Harmon Seaton and John Mitch
ell.
Mr. Seaton was born in Washing
ten twp, fifty-four years ago, During
the war he was a member of the
lo2d Pa. vols, and Ijth cavalry. He
served 3 years and was wounded and
had a thigh tione broken at Fair Oaks.
Since the war he has been a farmer and
carpenter. Mr. Seaton has always taken
an active interest in public affairs, and
be is amply competent to administer the
office for which ne has been nominated.
Mr. Mitchell was born in Summit twp.,
sixty-seven years ago, but has passed the
greater part of his life in Butler, where
e was engaged in the lumber, livery and
other businesses.
He wan appointed Sheriff of the county
in 1878, ana Co. Commissioner last year
He was third in the race for the nomina
tion for Co, Commissioner three years
ago, and his nomination this year was
generally conceded.
W. S. Moore one of our candidates for
Auditor, was born and raised in Muddy
creek twp., is fifty-two years of age, and
a fanner by occupation. He taught
school in bis younger days and is now a
Justice of the Peace.
O, R. Thorne of Clay twp , our other
nominee is a school teacher and yet a
young man. He is a good accountant
and will make a n excellent County
Auditor.
P. H. Sechler of Prospect, our nominee
for Coroner, is also a young man, and a
marble cutter by trade. He is a light
built, handsome and gentlemanly fellow,
and if we must 1* "sat upon" by some
body would as soon have it be Sechler as
any other man.
THK State has ordered the printing o
the first six volumes of the laws of Penn
sylvania passed priow to 1800, and not
hitherto published. An appropriation
was made by the last legislature to carry
this work to completion. This will be
the first complete issue of our State laws
passed prior to 1800. Many of these laws
arc still in force and copies of them are
continually called for by the legal frater
nity, not only at home, but in other
States.
THK Republicans of the city of Yoric,
in this State, cast the following vote for
their Presidential preference: McKiu
ley, 1,646; Quay, 112; Morto«, 11; Reed,
35; Allison, 17. Twenty-four other dis
tricts in the county of York voted; Mc-
Kinley, a'77B; Quay, 314, Morton 22;
Reed, 72; Allison, 56.
END OF THE CAMPAIGN.
What might b« termed '-the Campaign
of Physical Endurance" ended in a fine
day, overhead, last Saturday and the poli

the county—6lßo.

The Repablican party of Cutler connty
in acnual convention assembled
Resolved, lrt—That we adhere to the
principle* expressed by the Xational Con

of 1805 and look to the convention at fit
Louis in the present year for an announce
ment of tbe policy that shall be pursued
by the forth coming Republican Admini*-
tration.

vices rendered by our Junior Senator M
S. Quay in succeisfully opposing the pas
sage by the Senate of that unwi*e and un
American piece of legislation known a* the

amendment thereof in suoh a way as Ut
save from destruction many of the indus
tries of oar State, for *hich service* he i*
entitled to the esteem and confidence of
the people of Pennsylvania; and hia name
having teen favorably nn/rioned, not only
in onr own State but in many of the other*,
as a suitable person lor the Presidential
office, we hearti'v endorse bi* candidacy
for the office of President, believing that
Pennsylvania, the bulwark of Republican
ism, should be recognized by the party in
his selection for that office, and that wo
pledge our hearty support to the nominee
of the Bt. Louis convention for President.

How We Nominate for Congress.
As the manner in which a Republican
c audidate for Congress in nominated in
tliii district appear* to be not lully under
stood, we make the following explanation
a-s to the same.
lu order to got away troin tho old con
ferree system there wan a new plan
adopted in this district about eight yearn
ago. This new plan wan known as the
district systoin.
By agreement between the foar cc:un
ties composing the district. Butler, Mer
cer, Lawrence and Beaver, each county
was to be divided in:o 15 districts, mak
ing 60 districts in tho whole four counties.
In each one of those 00 districts there was
to be a congressional delegate elected to
represent that particular listrict in a con
vention of the whole of thom when as
sembled. The candidate for Congress
presented by each or every one of the u e
districts was the candidate ol that dis
trict and uot of any county. In other
words tho county idea was done away
with and the district idea substituted. So
then any candidate for Congress presented
by a majority of the llopublicans of any
district goes into the general convention
a-t the candidate, t. >t of any county, but of
a district of that county. For instance at
our late primary we had two candidates
for congress, Mr. McJuukin and Mr. Show
waiter and each of them strove to carry
as mmy ol the 15 districts as possible and
each did carry some. The popular vole of
a county has nothing to do with tho matter
under thu present system. One man may
have a majority of the votes of a ouoty
bnt another man miy have a majority of
the districts, and in the general conven
tion of tho tour J ri'i itios, the delegates
have to vote according to the instructions
from their particular districts as lo.ig as
there is any chance for their otndi ia'o.
lii Murcer oounty and in this thero are two i
candidates preseni e l for congress in each j
and both of tlrir names are published as i
candidates or nominees of distiicts of tho?e i
counties Ho the names ol both Mr Show [
alter and Mr. MeJankin appear this week
as nominees under our present svstem of
nominating.

Barbarian Military Skill.
The Italians have been in Abyssinia
long enough to know something of the
native character and methods of fighting
For 20 years the conflict has Ixren going
on. It is nine years since the crushing
defeat at Dongali, where an Italian force
was almost wip.M out. It is little more
than a year since Ambalagi, where but
300 Italians were left out of 2,500.
With so much experience it would
seem that a soldier with such reputation
as Barotieri could not have been caught
in a trap. White men had been fighting
Indians on this continent for two centu
ries and a half when Custer's command
was annihilated. The Caucasian under
estimates the men of other .-aces. Partic
ularly he underestimates their ability to
plan. He knows that they w ill fight.
By this time he should know that they
produce capable commanders, but if he
knows this he forgets it.
The disaster which luis mortified and
enraged all Italy was the result of a care
fully planned and skillfully executed
stratagem by whijli the Italian troops
were trapped beyond escape. The man (
who set that fatal trap and drew the Ital- 1
ians into it was a soldier.

Ki.KU—At his Louie ia Hania.ille, ibis
c unty, Tuesday last, March 31, 16t*G,
Lion. James Kerr, ia the 83d year ot his
age.
Judge Kerr had been in failing health
for sometime past. Few men of our coun
ty were better known or more prominent,
lie always exercised an influence and took
an active part in the affairs of the county.
His line personal appearance and dignity
of bearing commanded the respect of all
with whom he came in contact. He was
a man ot cool head and excellent judg
ment, often sought for counsel by his
neighbors, ,As a business man he was
very successful. In political matters he
was quite active and influential. In 1861
he was elected an Associate Judge of the
county on toe Republican ticket. Shortly
before that time, like many others, he
had beeu a Democrat in politics. In 1868
he was nominated and elected to the
State Senate. Since then he has lived a
quiet life at his home. The wife of
Captain Alfred Ayres, of this place, is one
ot bio two daughter*. lie was married
twice and his second wile survives him.
His luneral will take place tomorrow at
Harrisville and will be attended by a
number o! our citizens.
LARDIN —At his home in Clinton town
ship, this county, March 25 1896, Mr.
William Lardin. in the 88th year of his
age. His remains were buried at Taren
tum Pa. on Saturday last, 28ih.
Prom his son, Mr. l3aniel Lardin ot this
place, we learu that bis father was born
near the place of his death, Lardin's Mills,
this count}', on May 10. 1808. which would
make bim H8 years of age on May 19 com
ing. William Lardin was well known to
many of our citizens and not one of them
we can safely say, but who respected him
in life and will respect his memory. He
was not only a good man, an honest
man, a useful citizen of the county, but a
patriot of the purest nature. The writer
ot this well recollects meeting witli Wil
liam Lardin in a county convention dur
ing the late war times. He came as a
delegate from Clinton twp. to that con
vention, at the beginning of tbe war, and
a speech bo then made startled the whole
convention and aroused the utmost patriot
ism in all who heard it, and from that
time his name was sounded with prc.ise.
Mr. Lardin was twice married. By his
lirst wife. Daniel, a son living in this
place, and Mrs. Mary Moorhead, wife of
Mr. Harry Moorhead, lived here until re
cently. Mrs. Margaret Mitchell, another
daughter lives in Apollo, Pa. William M.
lives in Fayette couaty, Pa. an! Thomas
is now living at Bolivar, New York, both
favorably known to some of our people.
Loyal S. and Oscar, sons of second wife,
have lived with their father at tbe old
homo at Lardiu's Mills. His wife sur
vives him. Mr. Lardin died as he lived, a
christian. Ho was u constant member and
active worker in the M. E. church during
his whole manhood life. Thus another of
the oldest and very best cf oitizens has
passed away from earth.

A NATIVE Alaskan will carry sixty
pounds forty miles for a ten cent silver
piece, but he would not carry it a rod for
twenty dollors in gold. lie has no use
for gold, but likes silver dimes for bang

the white man to possess himself of the
yellow metal. But you cannot hire the
native of Alaska to dig, or serve you in
any other way than as pack-mule or
guide, even for a barrel of silver dimes.

SILKS.
Inipostant silk deals made last
week—many more thousands
were put ieto silks than any other
transactions this store ever made
—and it was the choice goods and
; the prices that induced us to
make the investment—and when
pdople see or learn about the silks
1 and the prices, it will be oi as
• great interest to them as it was to
( us—thep're all new and beautiful
silks and good qualities that peo
ple who know and always buy the
best will appreciate.
f Stylish Warp Print Monotone
! Silks, $1.25 —many beautiful
things there are for 1896, but
, these are surprisingly so.
, Rich Novelties in New Silks,
SI.OO to $2.00 a yard—so large
, and handsome a collection rs
places them away ahead of any
, thing we've ever asked attention
to.
100 pieces Black Brocade Dam
-1 as Silks—62c, 75c, $l.O0 —1-rge,
1 choice designs—such worth for the
1 money as was never approached.
1 2,000 yards extra good plain
, white rai.ed crrd Habutai Silks,
35c. —find out atout these before
making up your mind—don't con
found them with the usual colored
corded Kaiki Wash Silks in colors,
as teese rich, bright, lustrious
white ones are totally different
and vastly superior.
