THE CITIZEN. Entered :it P. O. at Butl< r asM WasS matter WILLIAM C. NEGLF.Y - - Publisher. A * THURSDAY. AUGUST 19, 1^97- Republican County Ticket. FOR JURY COMMISSIONER, A O. EBERHART. Gubernatorial Talk. A correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis-1 patch, writing from Harrisburg. says: "The scramble for the Governorship thus early in the fight is attracting the attention of the people, with nearly every Congressman in the State a pros pective candidate. It is impossible to furnish definite information, bnt the struggle promises to be the liveliest in the history of the State. "Last January the influence of Sena tor Quay was much sought after by as pirants for the high place, but since the -T?TRT*«eof the reform programme and the consequent resentment of the people the different candidates are emboldened to branch out for themselves. They realize that Senator Quay has a battle of his own to wage, and in spots it would be a handicap to be known to have his support. "On the other haild. the Senator will avoid entangling alliances until he is sure that his Senatorial title is clear. Public sentiment may change radically in a year, but at this time it cannot be denied that a number of the Beaver statesman's strongest friends are waver ing in their loyalty. "In the Juniata Valley, which the Senator carried in the Combine war, with the exception of Pern* county, the sentiment is said to be decidedly anti Quay. Huntingdon, which was the ban ner Quay county two years ago, is re- be quite offish, so that if deals can be made in Allegheny and Phila delphia counties profitable to the muni cipal bosses they will certainly be ar ranged. Martin, in the Quaker City, will take advantage of the Senatorial contest to nominate a Mayor of his choice, which will be the crucial test of his leadership. "A quiet boom for Governor has re cently been started for Secretary Reed er. So many gubernatorial candidates are aspringing up that it is hard to say which is the latest. The friends of Gen eral Reeder are urging his claims upon Senator Quay, but the supposition is that the latter favors Congressman W. A. Stone of Allegheny. Colonel Stone is reported to have said that Colonel Quay never told him he was for him, but nevertheless the Northside Con gressman is regarded as the Quay can didate. Attorney General McConnick has not announced his candidacy, but he will sorely be in the race, and at present his friends are at work in his The supporters of Congressman C. W. Stone of Warren, outline the situa tion as follows, and they have their man in training, not exactly as a com promise candidate, but they hope he will be acceptable to both factions and come in at the home stretch when the others are winded. They profess to be lieve that Stone of Allegheny is the choice of Senator Quay, and McCor mick will be the standard-bearer of the independents and anti-Quav forces. The fight will be hot. no doubt bitter, and eventually narrow down to these two, with the result that neither can be nominated. Then the C. W. Stone people will step forward and propose their candidate as a good one upon which both wings of the party can unite. They will point out that in the Combine row Stone, of Warren, was neutral and could not be induced to come off the top rail. It was not his battle and he stood aside and watched tion is good tactics for the Warren Congressman, and he would win prob ably if the contingency he anticipates should arise, but that is as nncertain as any problem in casuistry. Meanwhile, a powerful combination is being formed east and west to boom Attorney General McCormick, whose political record since he came into prominence has been consistent. He will unquestionably be backed by the Business Men's League, the Wana maker people and, of course, will be supported by Governor Hastings and his friends. Ex-State Treasurer Jackson, of Arm strong county, has the gubernatorial bee badly. He is counting upon the delegates from his Congressional district, com posed of Jefferson, Westmoreland, In diana and Armstrong. State Chair man Elkin will have considerable to say about Indiana, and Beacom and Bobbins will have to contend with Colonel Huff for the control of West moreland. The political whirligig is changing so rapidly that Colonel Huff may land on top in the next contest. He is smarting under his defeats of the last two years. In Central and Western Pennsyl vania there are Congressman Arnold andGeneralJohn A. Wiley, who have an eye on the executive chair. They will be factors in their sections of the State. The men of money bags who would like to be Governor are Con gressman William Connell, of Scran ton, and ex-Congressman Leisenring, of Luzerne. Connell has been waiting to see what will turn up, and up to date has been catering to the wishes and advice of Senator Quay. At the same time he is reaching out for other help, but judg ing from his methods he is too cautious to be successful. The supporters of Leisenring claim he will surprise the natives. It is noticed that most of the people who talk in this vein live in Luzerne county. They claim he has set up delegates quietly over the State, and has laid a groundwork that will make him formidable. This may be true, but Leisenring will have to do some great legging before he wins." SENATORIAL PROSPECTING. (From the same correspondent.) The rumor is persistent that the Phila delphia Senators will vote for Quay,but the bargain has not been sealed. Mar tin's aim in life at present is torenomin ate his brother-in-law, Receiver of Taxes,and to secure a successor to May or Warwick fridhdly to himself. The Ward Leaders' League, according to Clerk of Courts Ahern, will support Sena tor Quay for another term in the Senate. Just now Martin holds the whip hand, but he will deal at the right time, and Senator Quay will not be averse. The poor Durham faction, which elected Crow Sheriff, is to be pitied. It is upon the yerge of revolt from Quay ism. but doesn't know where to turn. To break with Quay would rebound to the advantage of its arch enemy. Mar tin, so the workers grind their teeth and vow vengeance in secret, while the Bea ver statesman confers with the combine leaders. Nothing in life is more galling than the exasperation of helplessness. The history of the sale of Senatorial gold bricks to Governor Hastings—that is how the general describes the trans actions is an interesting chapter in State politics of the last two years. The facts are only now coming fully to the surface. It is known that when Came ron realized that he could not be re elected and he immolated himself for the white.metal. Senator Quay and he sent a reliable man to Governor Has tings to notify him that lie should be his successor. Then the programme was to make Lieutenant Governor Lyon Governor, and the honest intention evidently was to pass the Pittsburg charter legislation But the success of Sandy Crow in the Philadelphia shrievalty fight gave Pen rose. Durham and Andrews a new least* of life, and the rest is history. Penrose was virtually forced upon Quay through the bold engineering of Andrews. Governor Hastings was side trucked ami Lieutenant Governor Wal ter Lyon had to take his medicine, with his colleague. The unfortunate temper of Penrose is getting him into a peck of trouble. His flare-up with Attorney General McKen na is in keeping with the row he hail with Governor Hastings. This i 9 not all, however. James McManes, the old Philadelphia leader and head of the Peoples Bank, it is current talk in poli tical circles, also had a disagreement with the young Senator, and the hanker notified Senator Quay, as the story goes, that whenever he wished to communi cate with him in the fntnre to come himself, or send another messenger than Senator Penrose. These little sideplays give the boys plenty to talk about | It is difficult to say whether Senator Qnay really intended to retire from pol itics or was playing a game to have Governor Hastings sign the Becker bill Notwithstanding the talk of the Sena tor's friends that he was personally in different to the Becker measure, but in teres ted himself to please Penrose and Durham, it is in evidence that he was as eager to have it signed as the chief promoters. It developes that before Senator (juay indulged in what some people think was a hot-weather joke, that he was tired of politics and would retire at the end of this term, he wrote a letter to Gov ernor Hastings making the same an nouncement, and suggesting to the lat ter that he would be his logical success or. It is stated that in this letter, which gos3ip seems to make quite authentic, the Beaver statesman employed an In_ dian metaphor, saying that he longed to sit quietlv in his wigwam, and all he asked was that before the young braves went to battle they would call and take council of him. Then, when he pre snmed that this letter had properly pav ed the way.he and Senator Penrose call ed on the Governor, and the row follow ed after Daniel refused to sign the Beck er measure. At this hearing it is said on good an thority that Senator Quay suggested th^- tirst thing to be done was to floor Mar tin, and the Becker bill would do it. The Governor replied that Senatorial gold bricks had 110 further charms for him. Since then Senator Quay has had at least one conference with Martin, the man he proposed to wipe off the map and this is modern politics. It is evident if the people want reform in govern ment they must select men to adminis ter affairs and pass laws who do not break them. Since it is settled that Governor Has tings will not be a candidate for the Senate next year the anti-Quay people are casting around for a man to jump into the breach, and it is certain a good one will be found, who will meet the Senator on his own terms of a popular vote. It will be rembered that in his appeal to the p<«ople when Dalzell op posed hira Senator Qnay invariably se lected counties for the test where his machine was in good working order ami he was sure of victory. After several pronouced successes his stock went up in fine style as a result of reflex action on other voters. Thus the first bout with Dalzell oc curred in Armstrong county, where the leaders are of the Quay stripe, and the Senator won in a canter. Since then the workers in that county have been rewarded. Colonel Jackson was made Treasurer and Dan Heiner was sent to Congress, and now is to be made United States District Attorney. - The opposition will not fall into the same trap, but will adopt Quay s tact ics, of selecting their counties in which to make a big blnff. Tioga. Lycoming. McKean, Clinton, Center, and even Clearfield, York, Perry, Bucks Lehigh. Carlton, Wyoming Lucerne, Schuylkill Alleghenv and some others would not be one sided Quay territoiy. The anti Quay candidate will be coached to keep out of counties on which Senator Quay has a mortgage. It will be a battle royal with the shrewd politics not all confined to the Quay faction. Prospect ancl Vicinity. Be it remembered that James McClymonds, who has worked for H. A. Kelly all summer, departed for his home at Centreville, Saturday. We hope Jim will come to see us now and then. Joe Allen and Clay Sarver came down from Isle, Saturday morning, and spent awhile in town.

Weigle went berry hunting, west of town, last Thursday, and Mrs. J. J. Shanor and her girls came to the rescue with a lunch at dinner time. Mrs. Shanor thought the boys were "dudes," but thanks anyway. Mr. Bartell of Warren, 0., was the guest of T. H. Boehm and family* last week. We are glad to hear that Mr. Bartell has a liking for our town. Alex Stewart and wife and Stewart Wilson and wife attended the recent Weller-English reunion in Lawrence county. Miss Nannie Murphy of Butler has been visiting her aunts, Mrs. M. Heyl and Mrs. John Weigle the past week. Mrs. H. W.

John has a great time keeping George and Ford from talking too much with the girls Edmnndson's band formed in line and marched to the home of M. T. McCand less, a mile north of town, one evening last week. Of course Mrs. McCandless furnished the boys with an excellent supper. C. P. Krantz, P. H. Sechler and Silas Kissick have of late indulged in the poet's fancies, and have written some fair productions. Mrs. George Deitz and children of Allegheny have been summering at the Boehm House, the past two weeks. We believe that city folks would find more rest, comfort and health in a place like our town than they could by going to the seashore and many other places, not necessary to name. W. T. Gallagher of Butler visited his father, Thomas Gallagher, not long since. Supt. Cheesman of Portersville passed through town on his way to Butler last Friday evening.

POLITICAL, The fuss that is made oyer the loss of Secretary Sherman 's memory should not cause it to be overlooked that the same complaint ha* affected other eminent gentlemen. The Republican leaders of this State seem to have had a bad at tack of it. concerning their own pledges, ami in their arrangments for the fntnre they hope for nothing better for them selves than that the forget fulness shall become epidemic among the people. —Dispatch. At tne meeting of the Business Men s Republican League in Philadelphia last Thursday the candidacy of Major Mc- Cauley. of Chester county, for Auditor General, was indorsed, but the com mittee refrained from any indorsement of a candidate for State Treasurer The following resolutions were unamously adopted: Wbereas, We. the Business Men s Republican League of the State of Pennsylvania, in our battle to protect the people's interests from unjust and vicious legislation, and against the machinations of selfish and insolent dictatorship, are pledged—strictly within party lines —to support candi dates of ability and fitness, regardless of factions or their affiliations, believ ing that the essential step towards im proved political methods is the election of better men to office; and Whereas. It was thought that the passage of the bill requiring interest on State deposits would deprive the State Treasurership contest of any vital issue, but the shameless and persistent as saults ujton the State Treasury by the "mileage grabbers'' and Treasury loot ers'" during the last session of the Legis lature have demonstrated that the con duct of the office of the State Treasurer is still of vital importance to every tax payer, and make it necessary to elect as its guardian a man whose vault keys shall not be merely the "will of a po litical boss, ' and Whereas. The widespread discontent and disgust pervading the rank and Hie of the Republican party in Pennsyl vania, because of long-coatinued "one man domination," should be met by the selection of men as candidates for Auditor General and State Treasurer of unimpeachable character and marked independence, free from those influences that longer render possible or enconr age "Treasury raids; therefore, be it Resolved. That we heartily indorse the candidacy of Major Levi C. McCau ley, of Chester county, for Auditor (ieneial. and pledge hiui the active and eirnest support of this organization, believing his sterling Republicanism, splendid qualifications and indepen dence to especially tit him for that of fice; and be it further Resolved, That we earnestly admon ish the party managers, if they have bonest regard for Republican welfare, to take heed of the threatening storm of righteous disapproval, by nominating for State Treasurer a man who posses ses the confidence oi the party, and and whose best boast is not that "he is the creiture of a boss." WASH INGTOX. The efforts to secure the removal of United States District Attorney Hall by inducing him to resign, or by ousting him summarily, were given a final quietus at the Department of Justice last Thursday when Senator Penrose called, it is supposed at the instance of Qua}', to make a last appeal for the i.iimediate appointment of ex-Congress man Heiner. The Attorney General has not hitlin t > given any explicit answer to frequent recent arguments of this character; but when Penrose become somewhat dicta torial che was told that Mr. Hall would not be removed; that his resigna tion had not been asked for, and would not be, and that he would be permitted to serve the brief remnant of bin term without being disturbed. The Attorney General intimated that it was not specially complimentary to Heinr and his friends that they should connive at the dismissal of an officer against whom there were no charges, and that such a peformance would be of no benefit to the prospective appoin tee. It is believed the sole reason for the movement is that Qua}- and Ileinerhave been somewhat alarmed at the growing strength of Higgins, of Erie, and the efforts making to secure the Attorney ship for hiui- Drs, G.
