COT,. ARFHIBAI.N BT.AKELEV. for
merly of this place. contributed to the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette of Nov.
10, a very able article on the formation
of the Republican party. The article
is entitled th« 'Grand Old Party" and
is intended to show the first steps taken
in the formation of the Republican
party, particularly with reference to
the part taken by the Convention held
in Pittsburg, on February 22. 1856
The defeat'in 1852. of General Scott for
the Presidency uiay lie said to have end
ed the old Whig party and been the |
real cause of final formation of the Re |
publican party in 1855, 0 and ■. In the
meantime, 1853, 4 and •>, what was
known as the "Know Nothing Party,
had sprung up (in the night as it were), j
and carried everything before it in
those three years. But the North soon
settled down to an anti-slavery basis,
and the Republican party ww largely
formed from that element. Lincoln
was elected in 1860, the war followed,
slavery went down and Republican
party still rules in the Nation.
POLITICAL.
A close friend of Col. W. A. Stone,
governor-elect. made the following
cabinet 'slate," which is given for what
it mav be worth
Gen. Franu Reeder, secretary of the
commonwealth: salary. $4 000.
Lieut-Gov. Walter Lyon, attorney
general; salary. 500.
Adjutant general. Thomas J Stewart,
to be reappointed: the salary is $4,000.
Hon. John P. Elkin. insurance com
missioner: salary. $3,000. Fees said to
be worth $20,000 a year. >
(,'ommissioner of banking, either Col.
Hugh Young, United States bank ex
aminer. or George D McMorran. cash
ier of the Mercantile bank. The salary
is $«,000.
Lonis Beitler. private secretary to
Gov. Hastings, to be reappointed The
salary is 82,500. in addition to which
SSOO is received as recorder for the
board of pardons, a position filled by
the private secretary It was stated
that Col Stone's present private secre
tary, Mr. Gerwig. would be made exec
titive clerk: salary. SI,BOO.
The secretary of the commonwealth
and the attorney general receive fees
which swells their salaries to lrom $lO
-to $15,000 per annum. There has
been some changes in the salaries of
deputies. The deputy secretary of the
commonwealth receives $2,500, and
there are 14 other positions with salaries
ranging from $l,lOO to $2,200; the depu
ty attorney general receives $4,000. and
the chief clerk $2,200; the chief clerks
to the adjutant general and insurance
commissioner receive SI,BOO. and the
deputy commissioner of banking draws
$2,500. ; ;
I.v oyer 00 years no President, whethe'r
Republican. Whig or Democratic, has
ever been sustained by a congress elect
ed in the middle of his term, excepting
in 1870» during the first term of Grant
McKinley may be congratulated upon
reversing the long established rule. The
last two years of his term will see a con
gress friendly to him and his party by
some 15 majority. The Republican
losses in the east and south were snffi
ciently made good in the west. This
insures some affirmative legislation and
no disturbance either in the currency or
protective policies. Had one branch of
congress been Democratic there would
have been nothing done but endless de
bate and the passage of appropriation
bills. Whatever the result of the peace
treaty with Spain, and whatevei the ad
ministration policy in regard to the
islands acquired by war, it will now be
sustained.
Poetry in The Courts.
The right of an attorney to present
his client's case in conrt in rhyine will
soon be tested in Indiana. There is a
case in that State which is before the
Circuit Court where the attorney for
the defense served notice that he inten
ded to deliver his argument in poetry
The attorneys for the plaintiff protest
ed, and the court ruled out the poet
ically-inclined lawyer. The latter has
remained firm, and as there are no pre
cedents governing the case, the judges
have taken it under advisement and
will soon render a decision.
The decision should favor the plain
tiff. If lawyers were allowed to plead
their causes in rhyme, the next step
might be the assertion of their right to
sing their arguments to the judge and
jury. It is but a step and a short one.
too, from rhymed meter to song. Im
agine for a moment the effect of such a
change. Tenor lawyers, baritone law
yers and bass lawyers would take the
place of experts on corporation and pat
ent laws. People would go to court
to hear good mnsic instead of to the
opera. .
But there is a reason still more po
tent why the Indiana poet-lawyer
should be squelched.
Should laVvyers become their own
poets, they wonld crowd ont deserving
and hard-working village Miltons and
Homers, not to mention onr own Penn
sylvania colonels. Any way, is there
not enough bad poetry written nowa
days with out the lawyers getting into
the game? Pbila. Inquirer.
Spain AcccptN Our Terms.
On Sunday night Gen. Blanco, the
Spanish Captain-General of Cuba, left
Havana for Spain in the Transport
Vila verde.
On Monday the Spanish Commission
ers at Paris accepted our terms and it
is expected that all the details will be
arranged by Dec. 10.
Spain cedes Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines and Guam to the United
States and takes onr $20,000,000.
JUDGE GORDON of Ph il'a Co. late
Democratic aspirant for governor sent
his resignation to Governor Hastings,
last Thursday. His reasons are that be
cannot live in the style he wishes to,
and save any money, on his salary as
Judge— $7,500 a year. The Philadel
phia papers however hint at a threat
ened impeachment.
On Friday Gov. Hastings appointed
Henry J. McCarthey to the vacant
Judgeship, and McCarthy will hold the
office under one Section of the Sate Con
stitution nntil the first Mond ty of Jan
uary 1900; though under another Sec
tion his term will end with the expira
tion Ot the next session of the State sen
ate unless the Senate confirms the ap
pointment. The question will probably
be brought before the Courts.

EDITOR CITIZEN— Under the above I
heading I notice in vonr issue of Nov.
24. an article from the Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette, and as It is on a matter
of very great interest to the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania at present, it de- j
serves all attention possible. The ob -I
ject of the writer of the article is to .
show the impropriety of members of '
the Legislature binding themselves by a
1 "caucus' in advance of their choosing a
United States Senator. In other words, I
he points out that under the Constitu
tion and the la v the duty of selecting
United States Senators is a Legislative
duty, that should I>e performed by the
members of a Legislature. as any other
bill or measnre that conies before it and
that no caucus should be entered into
previous to the day the law directs for «
i choosing a Senator that would tie up
hinrter or prevent a member from carry
ing out the will and wishes of his people
as to the man to be chosen. The cancns
system has not prevailed in many of the
States, but it has prevailed in our State
and to such an extent, and with such
| results, that now there is a general crV
| out against it. The simple fact that by
! going into it you may be . compelled
| to violate, not only your own opinions
but those of yonr constituents, should
be enough to "drive it out of use. The
only United States Senator that Butler
connty ever had was \\ alter Lowrie
and if the caucus system had been in
use then he never would have been
chosen. He had only four votes or
members for him at first, but the then
Legislature kept on voting day by day
until that good man was chosen. So it
should be in every case. The right
man will be sure to turn up in the end
if the members do not tie up their hands
and votes by the cunningly devised
caucus. And" so at the coming session
of the Legislature at which a Senator is
to be elected, the Republicans of this
State will hail with joy the disuse of
this unfair mode of choosing the man
to till this highly important office. We
know that the Republicans ot this conn
ty will bail it, and will stand bv our
members in refusing to bind themselves
in any way that will interfere with the
wishes of their people.
A Letter From A Co. K Boy.
Yours of recent date at hand and
since we have gotten settled in quarters
1 will try aud give you the news, We
have had quite an experience in getting
to our new location. We boarded cars
at Camp Meade Friday evening a week,
and started on the longest trip we have
ever made, leaving Harrisburg on the
Cumberland Valley we spent the night
wheeling our way through old Virgina
arriving at Norfolk at 11 o clock on Sat
urday morning, from there wc passed
over the Norfolk & Western to Greens
boro aud then oyer the Seaboard Air
Line to Athens where we arrived on
Sunday at 2 P. M. in a soaking rain
We left the train at 4 P. M and were
quartered nntil 8 o'clock in an old ware
room and then moved to a private
dwelling in town, an old southern man
sion with colonial columns and an air
of departed grandeur. It was in good
repair and we were very comfortable.
Rain continued most of the time un
till Thursday when we had camp pre
pared and canvas up. Camp is abont
one mile from town and in an excellent
location water has been piped to us
from the city mains and I understand
electric arc lamps will be put up by the
electric light Co. We are in aud old
cotton field but the cotton plants have
all been pulled and the ground rolled
hard by a heavy roller.
The city har about 12000 inhabitants
and the white part of the population
ate as fine a class of people as we ever
met in our travels. They have received
us with open arms and with true south
ern hospitality. They cherish no ill
will that we are sons of their ancestors,
foes and all sectional differences are for
gotten. The colored people give no
trouble and will not if let a'one.
There are six men in each mess now.
Six men in the new arrangement have
more room than two men in a single
tent as it was before, they have three
tents end to end and joined and wood
stove set in the centre one.
We have just put in our requislion
for cloths to wear in Cuba and Krag
Jorgenson rifles will be given to us
soon. I suppose we will be on onr way
to the Vearl of the Antilles on or be
fore Chritmas.
Our mess is going to haye a regnlar
Thanksgiving dinner Thursday we are
having a tnrkey roasted and other nec
essary articles to go with it.
