"IT is wonderful how well Major Mc- Kinley holds up under the great stress to which he is now being subjected, and which he has undergone ever since he was nominated," said a gentleman this morning. Then he continued: "I was out to see him last week, and he was as bright and ruddy and his eye was as clear as if he had no strain on his mind at all. He is always ready to receive delegations and he always has something apipropriate to say. I heard him make five speeches, and I noticed that while hr always had something to say that was not touched on by the speaker for the delegation, yet he invariably took up the best points the speaker made and com mented on them in a clear and intelli gent manner. With it all he is as bright aud cheerful as if it were a continual pic nic for him. I heard him make his first four speeches, and when the delegation had departed we had a conversation of ten minutes. Suddenly he arose quickly and said: "Excuse me a moment, here comes another delegation," and in a few minutes he was shaking hands and lis tening to cnator from the East who was telling him what his State proposed TO ao ;or tne Republican candidates In November. Theu the Major responded felicitously, throwing in some sound money advice, talking protection, dwell ing on the hard times, and winding up with some complimentary reference to the district represented by the delegation It was all over in a short time, there was cheering and music and ttien the delega tion marched away. Enjoy it? McKin ley enjoys every minute of it, and his gentle wife is all smiles. It is worth while taking the trip to Canton just to see the crowds and how they are receiv ed. THE quietness of Mr. bland is a mat ter of remark in the campaign. Per haps Mr. Bland is too busily engaged in trying to get back into Congress to do anything for Bro. Bryan WHAT our fanners want is a market for their corn and wheat, and not a market for silver. Corn and wheat they have, but silver they are a little short on. HANG out your flags on Saturday next National Chairman Mark Hanna has re quested every citizen of this great coun try who believes in sound money and in maintaining the integrity of the nation and every man who has a vote to hang out the American flag next Saturday. We hope to see many flags displayed. Every citizen shou'd hang out "Old Glory." Every man who believes in America; every man who opposes Anar chism; every man who believes in the na tion's honor; every man who repudiates repudiation; every man who believes that this country is good enough to have a dollar worth one hundred cents; every man who opposes the cutting down of the savings bank dollar, the soldier s pension dollar, the building and !oau association dollar, the dollar laid away for a rainy day, will hang out a flag. No matter how big or how litlle your flag is hang it out; fling it to the breeze anil show your patriotism and love ot coun try. Let every house in Butler be dec orated with the American colors on nex Saturday. McKinley's Nature. Nothing illustrates better 'he noble nature and kindly impulses of Wil'iam JMcKinley than the message which lie sent to the destitute and starving coal miners of the Sandy Creek Valley two years ago in response to their appeal for assistance. No sooner had the destitu tion prevailing in that section of Ohio been called to the attention of the Gov ernor than he sent this message to the representative of the miners; "NO MAN WOMAN OR CHILD WITHIN THE STATE 01-" OHIO SHALL BE WITHOUT FOOD SHEL TER AND CLOTHING WHILE I AM GOVERNOR." That was all there was of it but it was enough. That, message carried gorxl ch*»r into hundreds of desolate homes. It was a promise of needed help, and the Lelp followed. The work of relief was at once undertaken, and car loads of pro visions and clothing were soon rolling into Sandy Creek Valley. Want antl suffering were banished, and the unfor tunate miners w sre tided over the de plorable situation in which they found the aaelves. The people of the .Sandy Creek Val ley have not forgotten that message or the work which Governor McKinlev did in their behalf, for the chairman of the delegation of miners which went to Can ton called attention to the message in his speech in a most complimentary manner. So long as we had an American pro tective tariff law on our statute book, the Republican party maintained the credit of the Government, promptly paid all our current expenses, and kept the gold reserve fund unimpaired.

Black. The meeting at Renfrew Wednesday night was a great success. A large crowd went down in a special from But ler with the Merchants Band. The ad dress by Col. Higgins was very favora bly spoken of. The County Ticket. Our present Republican county ticket, which may be seen at the head of our editorial column, is a good and worthy collection of men. They are well-known to the voters, and deserve the hearty support of every Republican. Of course, as is usual in political campaigns, at tempts are being made to disparage some of them in various ways. But they are men whose lives and characters will bear close scrutiny and who deserve the full confidence and respect of every voter. It is unnecessary to go i nto de tails as to their lives. They are well known, and will make faithful, efficient and honest servants of the people. \ ote for them. A former resident of this county who has lived in North Dakota several years, and who is an experienced political ob server, sends back the assurance that both North and South Dakota are as re liable McKinley States as is Pennsyl vania. He Relieves that both those young Commonwealths will give good majorities for the Republican ticket, sound money and protection. SOUND money and protection will win the day on the 3d of November. IN REPLY TO MR. HEINER. BT'TLKR, PA. OCT., 26th, 1896. MR. EDITOR: — In reply to the letter of D. B. Heiner, chairman of the Armstrong County Republican Com mittee, to A. B. C. McFarland , Chairman of the But ler County Republican Committee, in which he claims Meredith's Nomination by precedent, is incorrect. In 1888 the two principals agreed to have the two United State Senators de cide the question as to which County's turn it was to have the next Senator. They appointed the present Lieutenant Governor, of Pennsylvania, Hon. Walter Lyon, who decided that it was Butler County's turn. In 1892 Butler County nominated James M. Carson, merely to to hand over the nomination to Arm strong County and Mr Meredith, be cause it was Armstrong County's turn, so decided by the highest political authori ty in the' State. In regard to the 1880 matter, Chair man Elkin, of the State Central Com mittee is entirely wrong. I know per sonally and was present when Senator Meredith instructed his conferrees from Armstrong Couuty to go into the room and into session with the Butler County conferrees and the late Harry Byrum. then editor of the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph, and at which conference Hon John M. Greer our present President f—'n*. itiaja "toil T say . positively there never was a precedent for the oat rageou-i act of Mr* Rex at the confer ence at the Park Hotel in Butler, Sept. 26th, 1896. That all compromises have been made by the wish and consent of the principals, and that when the chair man of the State Central Committee and the Chairman of the Armstrong County Committee and Jere B. Rex claim that there are precedents for the action taken at Butler, they show that they are not well posted on Pennsylvania political history. W. H. RLTTER. The Heiner letter is cunningly contriv ed and is about as smart as the Rex vot ing business of our smart Kittanning neiglibors, in fact it is on a par with the Rex work which the court at Harrisburg threw out. Whether chairman will tak>- any notice of it we do not know Wt presume not. But the statements it contains are so wide ol the truth that they should be cored ed. First it states that "W. B. Meredith is the Republican nominee of the district aud by precedent the only Republican candidate in the district." Now what are the tacts? They are that Mr. Ritter is as much a candidate as Mr. Meredith lias the same kind of a nomination paper and unless there is some superior power or virtue in the Republicans of Arm strong county, then the two candidates stand exactly alike before the voters of the two counties. But "precedent" is claimed, and the contest of 1880 between Judge Greer and Mr. Meredith for the then Sen .te nomi nation is referred to. This we think is unfortunate for Mr. Meredith, because in that contest he gave his consent to the action of the State Committee which appointed an umpire to decide between them. And Mr. Meredith appeared be before that umpire at Pittsburg with his conferees and consented to the proceed ing before the umpire decided. Now Mr Ritter in his contest with Mr. Meredith has given 110 consent, to any tuch outside reference, but repudiated the coming and action of Rex and all other action or movements that would lessen the right of his county, or deprive the Republicans of Butler county of the present candidate for Senate, which they ought to have. Ho stands upon the rights of the Repub licans of Butler county and will get their votes to a larger extent than Mr. Meredith can get in Armstrong county. Mr. Meredith has been our Senator for eight years and what has he done for our county? A REPUBLICAN The Senatorial Muddle. The Butler Eagle, an organ pretending to be the mouth-piece of the republican party in this county surprised some of its friends by seeming to eudorse, in a recent editorial, the Armstrong county can didate for senator from this district. Just why any Republican or paper should become so disloyal as to go back on our own candidate, whom the party nomi nated by a good majority in Butler Co., we can't understand'unless there is the proverbial "ax to grind," or a mandate from someone higher in authority to obey Mr. Ritter should have the loyal support of every Republican in this district and of this county. Mr. Meredeth deserves 110 support from this county, and certain ly not from this city, the citizens of tfhich have had to use filthy water for the past two or three years from a plant managed by himself a'nd run for revenue cnlv. We are for Ritter till the polls close on November 3d. Brri.Hß REPUBLICANS. THERE is something new for tt e volei in the election law this year. He will find near the head of his ballot a black square. If he wants to vote for the elect ors in a group he canjio so by making a mark in that large square, opposite and to the right of the names of McKinlev ami Hobart. If the voter desires to vote for any other candidate under the Repub lican column he must make a cross in the square opposite and to the right of the name of each candidate for whom he desires to vote. The better way is to vote entire Republican ticket by putting a cross iu the circle at U;e top pf the first column on tlie ballot A combination is being formed to re gulate the production and price of stioes, and a rise in the price of footwear may ; be shortly looked for. Li Hung Chang arrived at his home, \ Pekin, China, a few days ago, and will shortly present a report of his visit to the > United States to the Emperor. The report of the Third Assistant Post master General shows two gratifying facts. There was an increase of 7 per cent, in the amount of receipts, aud a \ reduction in the annual deficiency as . compared with the previous year of sl,- j 679,956. These results have been attain- j ed without impairment of the service, ; which has been better thin ever before. It is evident that this branch of the pub- i lie business has been most efficiently and j economically administered. The Insult to Carlisle. Secretary Carlislejin speaking of the egg ing incident in Covington, showed that he regarded it as more than an accidental occurrence. In his opinion, it was an organized mob. Said he: "I did not know during my speech that any such thing had been'done. Of course, I saw the disorder in the hall. It came from a line of meu who had gathered in the rear of the hall. The body of the house was decent and well behaved. Indeed many ladies were present- I had hecrd also the noise on the street, but did not know what it was though my friends seemed to be advised of it. They kept detaining me in various ways after my speech was concluded until, at last, I asked why we did not go. Then they told me that a crowd was gathered cutside the hall, and they were waiting till it should disperse. W 7 hen I heard that I said I was going, and we started. When I got to the door I saw the crowd there. They had been waiting purposely there all the time. There was a rush, and it was with great difficulty that we got out of the building and along the streets. They followed us until within a square of Mr. Helm's house, when the police formed a line across the street and stopped further progress. "The gathering outside the hall, the following of those two or three hundred men for several squares through the street, was not a mere accident: It was an organized affair". To a wish expressed that better treat ment awaited him at the speeches he is yet to make, he replied: "It makes little difference to me. It is an, illustration of what maybe expected everywhere if the principles of the Chicago platform pre vail. Personal indignity, and even per sonal violence will hurt those who at tempt it more than it can harm me." Secretary Carlisle found himself the center of widespread attention next day at Covington in consequence of the in dignity offered him. The first indica tions came in sympathetic calls from friends and neighbors. Later messages began to arrive, showing that similar feeling existed in other portions of the state. At length, so great became the crash, Mr. Carlisle was obliged to deny himself to all callers. The Cincinnati chamber of commerce, regardless of poli tical partisanship, called a special meeting and appointed a committee to give Mr. Carlisle an invita'ion to visit the chamber of commerce before he re turns to Washington. A delegation of gold Democrats from Walnut Hills ex tended a similar invitation. To all re quests for speeches Mr. Carlisle was oblig ed to give a refusal, as the five addresses he ha i promised in Kentucky would oc cupy all Ihe time he could spare from his public duties. THE regular Republican ticket conv tains no name for Senator, therefore you have a right to vote for a candidate for that office on one of the other tickets, b y placiug an X opposite the name. THE advent of the twentieth century is to be celebrated by a census of the world an undertaking that would have been deemed impossible even a quarter of a century ago- But within the few years the spread of civilization has been so rapid, and the intercourse between the various nations lias been so largely in creased, that it is believed the project can -*uw_JorJthe first time, be attempted The present population of the earth is placed by Professors Behm and Wagner of Gottingen at 1,7000, c00, 000, but they freely acknowledge that many of their co'umns are filled with guess work.

A noted Chicago burglar, who in his time has opened more than 70 safes, now claims that he can cut through a safe in less than two hours by the aid of electricity, and not make any noise, either. He declares that he is going to prove his claims after he has ended his visit at the Joliet Penitentiary. Ths Indiana in a Gale of Wind. On her trip i"r« m Hampton Roads to New York Harbor, the Indian* parsed through the heavy pale which recently swept along tt e Atlantic Setboard. It was a trying experience for both ship and crew, and the acoident which happened showed in a very diamatic way what enormous Btrain th ese ships are subject to by the ponder ous guns and armor with which they are loaded down. A battleship riding quietly at anchor in a sheltered bay anil a battle ship rolling 3G degrees in a gale of wind are two * very different things ir i n the wrenching and pounding of heavy weather that the strength of structure is tested and any weak spots are developed. The acoident which happened to the Indiana has fre quently occured in other navies ot the world, and indeed, had it not boen for the shortness of the time, stronger clamps would have been fitted to the Indiana be fore she started ont on this last cruise. The story of that night's struggla with the runaway puns and turrets is a thrilling one as told by Captain Evans, and we give a few extracts below: We tied the two forward turrets togeth er by binding the guns each to th« other and fastening the ti iwsers to the bit, and managed the alt one the same way. It was a hard job. About 2 o'clock the next hawsers and got loose againiThe storm was then very severe, and the ship was rolling at an nnjrle of 36 degrees. The deck was flooded with water, and this, with the pitching of the ship, made work ing on deck very dangerous. It was black »s inK, and we could not see how to got in order to head to sea. We could only guess. "To make matters worse, the forward Hi inch gun turret got loose, and those enor mous guas began thrashing about in lull command of the deck The 13 inch guns knocked great dents in tne scupper pipe broke stanchions and threatened to tear away the entire superstructure. It was very dangerous to work in that storm. I was afraid of losing two or three dozen men, and if I had not had the best crew in the world I don't know how we would have come out. V/e fastened a p inch haw*T on the 13 inch guu and it snapped like a cotton string. "We finally caught the big guns with an 8 inch hawser and tied them securely to the superstructure. I" was an awful job, though, and wo were in danger of being washed overboard every minute All dur ing the wor V the deck was completely flooded." THE total vote for President in 1892 was 12,150,274. This year the aggregate will be about 13,000,090. The Populists have never yet cast 1,500,000 votes at any election, but Bryan thinds he can talk 6,000,000 more voters into adopting Popocratic principles. It is the biggest contract ever undertaken by the boy orator, and he will never succeed. IF the producer of iaw silver can force this Government to manufacture his pro duct into money, why would it not be just as consistent for the farmer, who produce! ra.v wool, to force the Govern ment to establish ini'ls throughout the United States and manufacture, free of cost, his product of wool in'" cloth, at 16 pounds to one bolt. That would give employment to some a nil cheap cloth to all the masses. PAIR VIEW.

One mail has been nearly killed and more act idents there may looked for at any day. Another railroad is being constructed not only near but over or on grade with the bridge floor. This will make thatg bridge still more dangerous than it hasjbeen It is entirely too narrow tor the travel and trade goiDg ov*r it atid should be widened to at 1< ast double what it i". That approach whore Mr. Morrison woLt over could bo called little less than a death 'rap. Some party will lrkely have to pay for this accident. Who is liable? Some say tte Plaukroad company and some say the Borough ol Butler. The ob ject of this is to call the attention of our Town Council to the matter. Danger lurks there and it is time to know who are responsible for the damage* that must come. Sidewalks are needed as well as a widening ol the bridge. More than a year ago a petition signed by citizens was laid before the Council as to the danger of this bridge and the necessity for sidewalks. Nothing has been done. Action must now be taken by the Company or party liable for possible loss of life. And it should be taken immediately.
