"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.

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

Li Hung Chang arrived at his home, \

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

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.

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

just as consistent for the farmer, who

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.

The Plankroad fcSridge.
EDITOR CITIZBX:— The accident at the
Plankroad bridge, So'Uh cud of Maiu
street, on Saturday night la-t, should call
for immediate attention to that dangeious
place. 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.
