To our Ekastown correspondent--
Your interesting communication will
answered.
At the Republican County Conven
tion of Lawrence county, in New Cas
tle, Monday, Postmaster J. B. Brown
was re-elected Couuty Chairman by a
large majority over Judge Wallace's
man, and the new Committee passed a
resolution declaring the Republicans of
the county will support for Governor
the nominee of the Republican party,
irrespective of whom he may be. This
is practically a victory for Elkin, as the
delegates to the State Convention bad
previously been declared to be against
Elkin and in fitvor of anyone who could
defeat him.
J. A. McMillan of Soott twp was
nominated for County Commissioner,
and M. McConnell and R R. Pomeroy
for Assembly, R. M. Campbell for
Clerk of Courts, J. A. DeNormandie,
who was serving the unexpired term as
County Treasurer was again named.
Acheßon of Washington county had no
opposition for Congress.
Col. W. J. Bryan recently spoke of
Ex-President Grover Cleveland as a
"political corpse." Mr. Cleveland, in
referring to the matter, spoke of Col
onel Bryan as an "afflictive visitation."
There comes a time in the life of every
man when he might be truthfully de
scribed as a "political corpse," but an
"afflictive visitation!" It is too, too
horrible!"— Ex.
Gen. Frank Reeder of Easton, Re
publican state chairman and also Penn
sylvania commissioner of banking, ar
rived in Washington, Tuesday forenoon,
and held conferences with Senators
Quay and Penrose, Clerk McDowell of
the house and several members of the
delegation in the house. Late that
afternoon he joined Gov. Stone and
party on their special train en route to
the Charleston exposition.
As state chairman of the party, Gen.
Reeder has so far been nentral in the
fight between the friends of Attorney
General Elkin on oue side and Senators
Quay and Penrose on the other, regard
ing the governorship; he now real
izes that the time has come when he
may be called upon to declare bis posi
tion.
His visit to Washington was to as
certain from the senators their complete
plans for opposing the nomination of
Mr. Elkin,and on the way to Charleston
he will hear the Elkin side of the quarrel
The Governor and partv of State of
ficials were in the city for several hours
and several times were within speaking
distance of Senators Quay an Penrose,
but the Governor did not pay his re
■pects to the Senators. Neither did the
Senators pay any call of ceremony.
The snubbing was deliberate on both
sides. The Senators knew the Governor
was there aud the Senators knew the
Governor was passing through the city.
The last time Governor Stone was in
Washington he called at the home of
Senator Quay, and remained in close
conference with him nntil nearly 3
o'clock in the morning. That was on
election night last fall.
The Greene, Fayette and Somerset
Co. Congressional Committees met at
the Monongabela House in Pittsburg,
Tuesday, but failed to agree on a
method'of mominating a Congressman.
MR. EDITOR:— I learn from the morn
ing papers that Judge Greer has been in
Washington city seeing the bosses. He
tells them that our delegates to the
State Convention will vote for whoever
Senator Quay desires Our people, I
doubt not, have great respect for the
judgment of Senator Quay on public
matters. bnt it is not complimentary to
our State Delegates to say that they
will take orders from any state boss or
leader even Knowing them well as I
do I feel warranted in saying that if
elpcted they will*- honestly reflect and
obey the judgment of the Republicans
that elected them, regardless of ontside
orders Greer was evidently trying to
secure ontside help in his hopeless can
vass for re-election.
By the way were I an editor 1 would
try and secure a copy of each of Greer's
campaign letters. They are literary
gems indeed. By all means have copies
of them saved. The association of great
names alone is worthy of note-juet
look at it, "Lincoln, Grant, Garfield
aud Greer."
AN OBSERVER.
QUAY VERSUS ELKIN.
Friday last was "Black Friday' f«>r
John P. Elkin— Quay told to him to
"come off" and Elkin refused. Durham
sided with Quay.
Elkin aud Eyre of Chester county hed
a conference with Quay in Philadelphia
and Elkin afterward* announced that
he was a candidate to the finish and
! made this statement:
"I refuse to be ordered out, bargain
•ed out, dealt out or forced out of the
j canvass for Governor. lam a candi
; date to the finish and will continue an
| agressive canvass until the Republican
convention shall make its nomination.
A majority of the Republican voters
' should determine who the nominee
shall be. From the outset I have ap
pealed to the people for support and will
! continue this policy to the end. Fiom
assurances received from all over the
State today, I have every reason to be
lieve that my friends will be successful
in the convention. The American peo
ple believe in fair play, and I rest my
case with them."
That night Quay made this state
ment: —
"I am a friend of General Elkin, and
if I was permitted to name the Govern
or of Pennsylvania I would name Mr.
Elkin. But 1 regard his candidacy un
der present condititions as threatening
to Republican success upon the State,
Congressional and Legislative tickets,
and if lam a delegate to the Republi
can State Convention I cannot support
hirti libave no candidate for the posi
tion of Governor or any other position
The selection of candidates is for the
convention, whick, I believe, will be an
intelligent, impartial and deliberative
body."
When Insurance Commissioner Dur
ham was shown this statement he said:
"I concur with Senator Quay."
Many hours before Quay was visited
by Elkin. the latter was informed by a
mutual friend that the Senator urged
him to withdraw for the reason that his
nomination wonld jeopardize Penrose's
candidacy for re-election to the United
States Senate by the coming State Leg
islature, and would imperil the party
iri a number of Congressional districts
also. Qaay's message added that,should
Elkin persist in the race, the Senator
would feel obliged at an early day to
make a public statement of his reasons
for urging the withdrawal. After a
long conterence on this message, Eyre
announced that Elkin had "gone too
far in the fight to quit." Elkin sent
word to Quay that he could conceive of
no conditions demanding his withdraw
al, and his name would go before the
convention, irrespective of what might
be its action. To a friend he added:
"I decline absolutely to withdraw
from the contest. I will be a candidate
if I get only 10 delegates."
The Pittsburg "Gazette" approves of
Quay's course and the "Dispatch" thinks
the situation has been "somewhat
cleared."
Th« "Times" reviews the situation
and ends its editorial this way:
"The fact cannot be gainsaid that the
present political situation in Pittsburg
and Allegheny county is the sole and
moving cause of Mr. Elkin's downfall,
if that downfall is to be accomplished.
He is to be made the victim of a sit
uation which he largely helped to
bring about, and to add to the bitter
ness of his fate tbe men whom he
helped and the men who were his most
active and earnest coadjutors in the
work are now those who have turned
to rend him. The Pittsburg situation
is the result of the ripper bill. The
ripper bill was the act of a corrupted
Legislature, and this Legislature was
corrupted from the day of its organiza
tion to the day of its adjournment by
the very same coterie of high-minded
gentlemen who have now induced Sen
ator Quay to i nterfere in their behalf
upon the question of the Gubernatorial
nominee.
Meanwhile it is to be hoped that
Senator Quay will be pleased to in
form the 358 delegates to the State
convention and the 700,000 Republicans
of the State whom be intends, in the
exercise of his sovereign power,to nomi
nate for chief executive of the second
Commonwealth of tbe Union."
A dispatch from Washington, dated
Saturday, said:
' 'The selection of J. Donald Cameron
to take the place of John P. Elkin as
the candidate of the Pennsylvania
State organization for the Republican
nomination for Governor is regarded as
a certainty. There is good ground for
believing tbat he has already been chos
en and has practically consented. At
torney General Knox and Major Gener
al Brooke will not be considered until
Cameron positively declines. Cameron
will decline if much opposition is devel
oped. He does not want it unless it is
handed to him on a highly polished and
embossed platter. Representative
Deemer expressed hostile views because
Cameron is a free silver man."
The Philadelphia Inquirer which for
years has been the organ of Qnay and
his friends in that city, is outspoken for
"Elkin—the Candidate of the People,"
and speaks as follows:
"A display of bossism at Harrisbnrg
probably would be ruinous.
Mr. Elkin has done his fighting in the
open. He announced himself as a can
didate and invited opposition. To try
to destroy him at this late day, after the
grand display of popular strength that
he has made, and solely at the behest of
a couple of wealthy gentlemen of Pitts
burg, would be not only extremely un
wise, but extremely unjust.
The people detest injustice—and they
hate ingratitude.
All honor to Mr. Elkin. He will not
get out because a pair of spiteful Pitts
burgers demand that he shall. He
would prove a traitor to the people who
have so grandly stood by him at the
primaries should he do so.
His declaration of his determination
to remain in the contest in spite of all
attemps to coax him or to order him out
is the manly utterance of a manly man.
"I will not be ordered out, bargained
out, dealt out or forced out."
Those are his words, and they are
such words as the manly voters of Penn
sylvania will delight to hear.
For Governor of Pennsylvania, John
P. Elkin.
And if those who wonld dispose of
him at the commands of a couple of
franchise grabbers of Pittsburg went to
know how the people feel about it, by
all means let them produce their can
didate - any candidate under the face of
the sun—and bring him before the
voters. If Mr. Elkin cannot defeat any
person they may name, then he will re
tire, but he will not retire under any
other circumstances."
A most interesting feature of the pres
ent disturbance among the Republicans
of Pennsylvania is the apparent eager
ness of so-called insurgents to welcome
Quav as a party reformer. This was to
De expected, of course, of those follow
ers of the organization whose objection
to Elkip is merely personal, or whose
desire for reform extends no farther
than revenue upon Gov. Stone. But
for these who have been eloquently pro
testing against "Quayism" and its
dangerous tyranny to accept his dis
missal of Elkin as proof of a lofty pur
pose of political regeneration is even
more remarkable than the disposition to
revolt betrayed by professing believers
in the machine.
It would not be so remarkable if this
were Quay a first appearance as a re
former In truth, this is one of his
favorite roles. Time and again, when
his power was threatened by a revolt
against party debauchery, has he come
forward as the champion of reform, re
-1 buking the excesses of his followers and
holding up the standard of high political
' morality. And just as often as his pur-
I pose was accomplished has the old order
j been re-established with increased in
| tensity, so that it may be stated as a
: general proposition that the depravity
! of the State government has been in di
; rect proportion to the purity of the
j previous campaign promises.—Ex.
■ Information which has come to the
I surface within the last 48 hours re-
I moves all doubt as to the genuineness of
| M. S. Quay's decree prohibiting the
] nomination of John P. Elkin for Gover
nor and of Elkin's determination to re
sist the mandate and make a fight to a
finish. The inner history of the deal in
pursuance of which Cikin is cast aside
will probably become a matter of public
knowledge within the next few days.
Meanwhile enough is known to establish
the fact that public policy has nothing
to do with the case: that Elkin is not be
ing retired because of his association
with Gov Stone, but that the real ob
ject is to use the present disturbed
political condition of the State as a pre
text for turning over the State govern
ment to a mouejed junta representing
certain powerful corporate interests
The game is a deep one and it might
have succeeded if the devices usually em
ployed co get a candidate out of the way
without friction had been successful in
Elkin's case. Qnay and the persons be
hind hnn, however, in this instance,
leckoned without their host. Insteai
of finding Elkin a convenint instrument
for the accomplishment of their pur
poses, they find in him a most dangerous
antagonist.—Pittsburg Leader.
Fears Hydrophobia.
Joshua M'Call, of Franklin township,
observed that two of his cows had been
bitten by a stray dog. Mr. McCall had
the dog driven from the { remises and
paid no further attention to the
ter until a few-days ago. when one of
the cows was noticed to become drow~y
and refnsed to eat the food placed be
fore her. Mr McCall, who had almost
forgotten the incident of the dog-biting
prepared a medicament for the animal
.which he administered.
As the cow manifested a disposition
not to swallow the medicine. Mr. McCall
took the medicine in his hand, which
was covered with abrasions and a
nnmber of cuts, and forced the prepara
tion by placing it far into her throat
with his hand.
The cow grew worse, refusing to eat
anything put before her, and within a
short time the other which had been
bitten by the dog became affected in
identically the same manner. Mr. Mc-
Call treated her as he had the other'
forcing the medicine down her throat
with his hand.
Neither of the cows would eat any
thing from the time the first drowsiness
was noticed, and both soon developed
symptoms of hydrophobia. They both
died with all the manifestations of that
Mr. McCall immediately left his home
for Pittsburg, aud was admitted to the
Magee Pathological institute in connec
tion with Mercy hospital, where he is
now being treated by the Pasteur
method. This treatment requires at
least 20 days, but the hospital authori
ties hope to discharge Mr. McCall from
the hospital by the 20th.—From last
Sunday's Post.
Mortgage Burned
One of the most happy events in the
history of the Butler U. P. church was
the burning. Tuesday evening, of a
mortgage which has encumbered the
church property at McKean and Jeffer
son streets for the last 12 years. In or
der to redeem the mortgage and destrov
it, it was necessary during the past 12
months to raise S3OOO. F. H. Bole was
chairman of the committee which had
this task in hand and successfully ac
complished it, and he was Chairman of
Tuesday evening's jollification.
The ceremonies commenced with an
anthem, followed by Scripture reading
and prayer by Rev. Dr. McKee; John
T. Kelly spoke of the church of our
fathers; Jos L. Purvis on the church of
the present, and .lames M. Galbreuth
on what the church will be to our child
ren: Mrs. J S. McKee read a paper en
titled "What Mean These Sfones." in
which she told of the women's part in
building and paying for the church: Mr.
Bolt; gave some statistics o? his canvass
for the £'.ooo, of the 505 contributor". 57

Douthett, Jr.
After the burning the congregation
repaired to the Sabbath School rocin,
which was abundantly decorated with
the stars and stripes, and partook of ti
lunch furnished by the ladies.

Obituary.
Gen. Wade Hampton died at his home
in Columbia, S. C, last Friday, aged 84
years.
T. DKWITT TALMAGE.
Rev. L>r. T. DeWitf Talmage died at
his home ia Washington D. C., last
Saturday evening. Dr. Talmage had
l>eeij ill for some weeks and was un
conscious for more than 60 hours before
death came. The immediate cause was
heart complications, induced by a severe
attack of grip
Until he went South in February, Dr.
Talmage was in his usual health. While
ia the City of Mexico early in March he
was attacked by urip and was quite ill
for two weeks. When he returned
home the long journey made him worse
fie arrived in Washington March 14
and at once took to his bed He has
suffered from throat trouble for many
years, and that trouble became acute,
and was complicated with a weak and
disturbed action of his heart. He grad
ually failed until a few days ago the
physicians announced that he could not
recover.
The patient gradually grew weaker
until life passed away so quietly that
even the members of the family, all of
whom were watching at the bedside,
hardly knew that he had gone.
He rose from a farmer's boy to be one
of the most famous divines in the coun
try. He was born at Boundbrook.
Somerset county, N. J., January 7,
1835. He whs the youngest of 12 chil
dren, seven of whom were l>oys.
When 18 years old he joined the
church and the following year entered
the University of New York. His bril
liancy at studies wbs rather dimmed by
his talent for oratory and his dramatic
capacity. This attracted attention to
him <'U exhibition days. As a scholar
in belles lettres he was without a rival
among his fellow students.
He graduated in May, 1853, and his
speech at Niblo's Garden on "The Moral
Effects of Sculpture and Architecture"
aroused the audience to a pitch of en
thusiasm that was rare. The publica
tion of this address was the first literary
article of Mr. Talmage ever printed.
