"JAMES N. MOORE, ESQ."
This is the title of an alleged commu
nication in the Eagle of last week, but
written by itspld editor, Thomas Rob
inson, Esq.
It is an attack on Mr. Moore, and Mr.
Robinson begins his piece by referring
to articles published in other papers,
and then asserting that he had voted for
Mr. Moore seven times and that Moore
was defeated for District Attorney be
cause "it was currently reported that
his nomination had been secured by
questionable means."
We remember of supporting Mr.
Moore faithfully when he became our
candidate for District Attorney, but our
recollection also is that he was defeated
at the election because it was 'current
reported" that he was RoWnson'g man
Mr. Robinson follows these prelimi
nary remarks with a reference to Mr.
Moore's health, and an attack on his
record as a member of the Legislature.
That Mr. Moore's health has been bad,
"unfortunately" for himself but fortn
nately for his political enemies, no one
can deny; but at the same time he arose
from a sick bed at Harrisburg, time and
again last winter, and went up to the
House and tought a set of scamps who
were trying to rob the State better than
any man we have ever sent there.
He was one of the leaders of the noble
"76," whose declaration of independence
was directed against Quay and his gang
at the beginning of the session,and who
fonght the election of Quay's man Pen
rose to the United States Senate.
No Legislature of Pennsylvania was
ever more thoroughly dominated by
Quay than the last one, and no greater
outrage was ever perpetrated upon the
people of the state than Quay's selec
tion of Penrose, as his associate. That
act alone ought to damn him in every
decent household in the Commonwealth.
Mr. Robinson is the only man in But
ler who, as yet, possesses a bound copy
of the Legislative Record for the last
session, and he seems to have made an
exhaustive examination of it. He
-notes that Mr. Moore was not present
and voting on the passage of some im
portant or alleged important bills.
These assertions will bear swered in full
and completely—probably next week.
Mr. Moore was a member of the Judi
ciary General Committee, which had
about four hundred and fifty bills on its
calendar, and he imfonns us that he
attended every meeting of that Com
mittee; and also that of the fourteen
hnidred and some bills on the Calendar
of the House, he was present and voted
upon all but about thirty.
Mr. Robinson refers to a Justice of
the Peace bill, which was submitted by
Mr. Moore to some old Justices of the
Peace in this county and approved of by
them ; also to the Hamilton Road bill,
to which Mr. Moore had the $1,000,000
proviso attached which proviso made
the bill inoperative until the Legisla
ture appropriated that amount to carry
it into effect.
But his most astonishing reference is
to the Becker Bill (No. »4). This was a
bill to amend the charter of the city of
Philadelphia, and put the patronage of
the city into the hands of the faction or
clique that at that time controlled the
Select Council of the city. It was a
distinctively political bill, conceived by
Quay's friends in the city; but it was so
utterly outrageous that Quay could
not hold his friends among the country
members for it. It was lost, and in
their desperation the Quay people from
Philadelphia offered to vote for the bill
making a more just and equitable dis
tribution of the state's appropriation to
the school fund if the country members
would vote for the Becker Bill.
The deal was made on the floor of the
House during a fight for the School
Bill; Moore took a leading part in it and
knew what he was doing; Philadelphia j
lost SIBO,OOO by it, and, if the figures
given for Forest county are correct,
Butler connty, in the same proportion,
will gain about SIB,OOO annually by it.
It is the sequel, however, to the Beck
er Bill that is the interesting part
Quay's fat boys in the Senate passed it,
as a matter of wnrse. and it went to
the Governor , then Quay and Penrose
went up to Harrisburg and tried to bul-
Hastings into signing it; and *iU?T
their notable deteat tney went oack to
♦heir hotel, and Quay issued his ridicu
lous 'Fiery Cross and Bloody Blouses"
manifesto, and announced himself as a
candidate fcr re-election
The Governor vetoed the bill in the
words quoted by Robinson—but for
Robinson to now hold up those words
in approbation is an act of treason to
his master exceeding that of Brutus to
Caesar.
"And you Thomas -This is the un- j
kindest cut of all.
The matter with Moore from Robin
son s standpoint is not his health but
his principles When Moore first went
to Harrisburg Robinson told him to let
it be known that he (Robinson) control
led his vote Moore said "No. and j
there has been war between them since. !
It does not suit Robinson to have two
MEN representing the county at Harris
burg What he wants there is two
things wjth ' Robinson's Mark on
them —which, in the early days of Alle
gheny, when stock was allowed to run
at large, meant (for pigs) both ears and
the tail cut off short.
Why tl»i« Disturbance 111 Repub
lican ltanks?
The Republicans of Butler county
were getting along smoothly in the pri
mary canvass, the candidates were con
ducting a friendly contest for nomina
tion to the different offices to be filled
this year, a generous rivalry for the
support of the people with no ill will
anywhere, and all good Republicans
hoped it would be so till the end of the
canvass. But no, that seemed not to
be our good fortune. All at once a
change takes place. Thomas Robinson,
who holds the _position of Superiuten
dent of Public Printing at Harrisburg.
and is drawing a salary of about f'2oo
per month from the State,instead of lie
in g at his post of duty in Harrisburg.
has been in Butler a month or more,
engineering a fight he is making against
James N. Moore by attacking him with
a column article in the Eagle last week
-thought hemust "let his Eagle scream.
Why is Robinson doing so? Simply be
cause Moore won t wear a Robinson
collar," and in the Legislature stood up
for the people of Butler county, and re
fused to follow the dictation of Robin
son Moore stood by the oil men in
their contest on the Pipe Line Bill,
Robinson wanted him to work and vote
the other way. Robinson is always
looking out for Robinson or his family
—why don't he return to Harrisburg
and earn his salary, let the Republi
cans of Butler county manage their own
affairs in their own way, and matters
will run more smoothly.
A BOLT the funiest thing in politics
that we have heard of lately was two
or three lawyers consulting and bring
ing out a candidate for Assembly 'in
the interest of the farmer." It is
thought very probable they had some
other "interest" in view than farming,
and rather want to "farm out" some of
the offices in the name of a "farmer.
Robinson's Modesty.
Thos. Robinson in his article in the
Eagle against James N. Moore says:
"had he modestly retired at the end of
his present term all would doubtless
have refrained from criticism." "Mod
isty" is a good thing for Robinson to
suggest to others, he ha* so much of
that commodity himself. Away back
before the war Robinson was a candid
ate for the Legislature, the issue before
the people was whether the State law
of so much per ton on all freight brought
over the Penn R. R. known as the "ton
age tax," shonld be repealed or not.
The people of Butler County voted
against the repeal and Robinson
was elected. When he got to
Harrisburg and the time came to carry
out the will of the people that elected
him, he turned round and voted for the
repeal and against the instructions of
his people. He was several times a
candidate before the people after that,
with becoming "'modesty," for the Leg
islature, for State Senate, lor Congress,
bnt the people had tried him once and
did not want to trust him again. He
still kept in politics, "modestly" of
course, got hia oalighten* into the public
6chools, four of them at different times,
a son a clerk in Harrisbnrg a winter or
two during sessions of the Legislature,
fot a daughter into the Postoffice as
ost mistress salary SB,OOO per year,
another daughter and a son clerks in
the Postoffice, had the office about ten
years. A change took place, a Demo
crat became P. M. and his daughter
become clerk and has been there ever
since. This man who talks of "mod
esty" is very modest,—about office for
himself snd family. At present he is
holding the position of Superintendant
of Public Printing at Hamsburg at a
salary of about S2OO per month, one
daughter clerk in the Postoffice one a
teacher in the Public school* in Butler,
one a teacher in the State Norwial
school at Slippery rock, and onp pf his
boys, by the fathers "pull," attorney
for the County Commissioners making
five of the Robinson family receiving
from the public crib." Is it because
there is something else in sight that
Thomas wants that he suggests that
James N. Moore "modestly retire?"
One thing sure Moore always ,stood by
and obeyed the will of the people of
Butler County; can Robinson say as
much* No, he wants them to obey his
modest (?) will.
Hutlcr County in flu: Legislature.
"Why has Butler county always been
in the back ground in the Legislature
at Harrisbnrg?" has often been asked
by many people. Easily answered. A
man to be a good legislator and bring
his connty to the front, must, in addi
tion to ability in that line, have experi
ence in legislatiye work. Counties that
have influence and standing in the leg
islature, when they get a good man,
send him back several terms. Not so
with Butler County, and why? Thos.
Robinson, who wants to pose as a
"boss," and who claimed for many
years the right to dictate who should
fill the different offices, always insisted
on sending new men to the Legislature,
he did not want them to get too much
experience lest they would attempt to
think and act on their own account and
refuse to "obey the orders of the lioss."
he was afraid his occupation would l>e
gone. That is why Robinson has
"opened fire" on "Jim" Moore in the
Eagle, he wants new men in the Legi*
latnre so he can continue his "pull
Will the people let him have his way?
We will see.
THK Eagle last week says Senator
Quay is at his home "taking a rest"
As he came almost direct from Florida
to his home it must tx< the fish that are
getting a "rest" and not Mr Quay.
The Coining Primary.
MR. EDITOR; The course of the But
ler Eagle for the past two weeks in re
gard to our coming Republican primary
election has been so outrageous and so
unusual as to iustify an exposure of the
motives that orompt it. Heretofore it
was not considered proper, right or just
for any of our party papers to take sides
or indicate their preferences among the
candidates announced for nominations.
AH were allowed a free, full and fail
field :n their canvass. Bnt the Eagle |
has changed this rule and custom and
last week has an attack on Hon James
N. M(xtre. one of the candidates an
nounced for the Assembly nomination.
Why?
This may be explained by asking
"some more questions," after the man
ner of your West Sunbury correspon
dent of last week
In the first place, is it not probable
that envy on trie part of Hon Thomas
Robinson towards Hon James N. Moore
inspired his article against Mr. Moore
in the Eagle last week? Mr Moore has
made so faithful, able and useful a
member of the Legislature, serving the
people of the county and not the lioss.
that the Republicans ot the county
want to see him back th«*re This they
did not do in the case of Mr. Rob ; nsori,
| who was once elected to the Assembly,
! an/i wu "retired" by the people at the
,' end of his hisf year, thus making what
is termed "a veatliufe ' of him, doubt
' le«s for good and snlflcibiit ?"asons
Hence the jiossiblo envy in this matt.-.
But, second, is uot th* attack further
explained in the fart that Mr. Robinson
could not use. dictate to or control Mr
Moore in the last Legislation? Mr
Moore, and Mr. Dindinger also, pursued
a manly course, serving their constitu
ents, and could not be pulled or driven
into the service of the losses on any
question. This did not suit Mr Robin
son. who was there holding an office at
$•2000, a year and shonld lie at Harris
burg now attending to his duties in
stead of at Butler trying to dictate to
the Republicans of the county, who
they should nominate. Why?
Third. Has the Hospital at Butler,
now nearlv completed, anything to do
with Mr ' Robinson's hostility to Mr.
Moore? We need not say further on
this than that Mr. Robinson's conduct
on the Hospital movement has lieen so
purely selfish as to bring upon him not
onlv the censure but the contempt of
almost all citizens. Because he could
not have his way he opposed the move
ment of the good women, which has re
sulted in getting a Hospital built. He
even opposed an appropriation for it
Mr. Moore, being in Legislature, got it
through. It is now erected and will
soon be ready for use. But it will need
and ought to have State aid. Mr
Moore, if sent back to the Assembly,
will, and can procure this aid Any
candidates whom Rollins*in favors for
the Legislature would likely, if elected,
listen to him on the Hospital matter
How should the Republicans of Butler
or of the County, vote at the coming
primary on this question? Clearly for
two candidates for Legislature who
have been and are friendly to the Hos
pital. All citizens, men, women, and
children, are all interested in the Hos
pital. It is much needed and will be a
blessing as well as a credit to our coun
ty. Let there lie no mistake made in
this matter
But, finally, and deeper down and
back of all above, may not the fact that
the next Legislature has to elect a
United States Senator have much to do
with the great interest Mr Robinson is
taking in our primary, coming home
here, as we have said, instead of at
tending to his duties at Harrisbnrg?
He knows he cannot use. trade off or
control, Messrs Moore and Dindingeron
that question an<t hence is trying to
prevent their renoniination. But now
is the opportunity of the Republicans
of Butler County to aid in throwing cff
a one man power in the State that has
become so odious and arbitrary as to
bring shame and reproach upon our
party. Mr. Quay wants to succeed him
self. "but the people are disposed to give
him a rest, in order that he can give all
his time to his fishing exercises in Flor
ida and not be troubled with law mak
ing matters. Mr Robinson favors
keeping him in the Senate, and he ought
to, because Quay has mainly been the
means of getting him offices that aggre
gate now about sS.">o.Ooo. to-wit: The
Postoffioe, at Butler, in some shape or
form for about twenty years, at an
average in all of $'»000 a year, making
say $10,000: and the office of Public
Printer at $"2000, per year, for the five
years he will hold it $10,000; in all said
£>o,ooo, saying nothing about the nu
merous other offices he or his have held
in this county or in the State at Harris
buig Is it any wonder he wants to de
feat Moore and Dindinger, who are
with the people on this question and
cannot be bought or sold ?
Yours Very Truly,

BRANDON- On Feb. 25, 189*._ Anna
Lillian, daughter of Wm. W. and
Sarah Brandon of C'onnoquessing
twp. aged 26 years, 9 months and 18
days.
She came to Butler on Feb. 5 intend
ing to visit her brother W. S. Brandon
for a week or two. Although not feel
ing well she attended prayer meeting
on the 9th. took her bed on the 10th;
when the Dr. was called she was suffer
ing from heart trouble, but soon ty
phoid fever developed in its most
dreaded form The weak condition of
the heart made the case critical from
the first.
Her snfferintr was intense daring the
trreater part of her iillnuss and although
the case seemed almost hopeless from
the first yet all that loving friends, and
modern medical science conld do was
done.
The morning preceeding her death
she seemed to rally; about 10 o'clock
she seemed to fall into that life giving
sleep which is the coma of the fever,but
alas it was the sleep that knows no
waking.
Her physicians were hastily summon
ed, the friends and rulatjves were hur
ricd to the bedside, only to see the end
which came speedily and peacefully,not
a pain, not a struggle. Calm and
peacefully her spirit was bourne back
to her maker
The deceased was a faithful member
of the Mfc. Nebo Presbyterian church
and of the Y. P. S. C. E. of St. John's
Reformed church
[ .She had earl} r given her heart to God
and was prepared for the end.
During the earlier part of her sickness,
just before the delerium, she told those
present thai altt weald not recover,
bade them all goodbye, gave a message
to each brother and sister, then where
and how she wished to be laid to rest,
who she wished to conduct her funeral
service, and made all arrangements.
From that time to the end her only
wish was to be with God.
Often would she say,
"I'm going to Heaven,"
"Why do you keep me here when I
shall be so happy there, so happy.
"How sweet it will be to be with
God." "Don't try to keep me don't
you see I want to go."
Faithfully we carried out her last
wishes.
Silently we lowered her into the grave.
Tenderly laid her to rest.
Softly covered her from view.
Lovingly laid our garlands of flowers
on that new mound.
Tearfully left that last resting placa
Calmly thought of that Christian
death, and asked—
"O, death where is thy sting; O, grave
where is thy victory?" W.
