Concerning Xew Parties.
Delegates from forty counties repre
s jr.ting the "Lincoln Republican Party
met in Philadelphia and indorsed Mr.
B?rry, the Democratic candidate for
State Treasurer. The object of the
meeting as explained by the chairman,
was "for the deliverance of the govern
ment of Pennsylvania from the hands
of corrupt and dishonest men.*' We
have no fault to find with the object,
which is entirely laudable. But we do
not believe in these side-issues, these
sprouts and off shoots from the parent
Republican tree. It tends to weaken it.
If the Grand Old Party needs pruning,
why then gits it a vigorous pruning,
but do not permit its vitality to be sap
psd by encouraging unwholesome ex
traneous growths.
The Republican party is vigorous
eioogh to eliminate any poison or cor
ruption within it by natural processes.
It isn't necessary to join a new party in
order to vote independently. Any man
who regards it as a duty to vote against
a candidate of his own party is at liber
ty to do so. And it is by far the most
effective way to cure any evils that
may exist within it. If a candidate is
defeated through the efforts of a third
party, it is afterwards attributed to the
cossednees of the new party instead of
the virtuous indignation of the more
Conscientious adherents of the old one,
tae blow is thus parried by those at
whom it was aimed. When a thing
needs to be hit the manly way is to
strike straight from the shoulder, and
hit it bard. There is no need of chang
ing ycrur name to do it —Spirit.
And the things that deserve hitting
the hardest in the G. O. P. are the
Ward and Township "heelers"—the
men who buy votes and have them for
sale at every primary. It is a sad fact
that some alleged Republicans sell their
franchises to the heelers who in turn
sell them to the highest bidder.
This business is carried on in every
ward in this town, and also in some of
the townships. In some cases our party
nominations have been controlled them,
and the longer this work is condoned
the more useless it will become for
either a poor or honest man to aspire to
county office.
In the large towns it is practiced to a
far greater extent than in the small
<meal The ward heelers in Philadelphia
have heretofore been the whole show
there and it was them who made pos
sible the domination of the crowd there,
who yet control onr state organization,
bnt whose power in the city has been
broken by a political revolution follow
ing the exposure of their methods.
The ward heelers of Philadelphia
were the strength of the gang who ran
the city and the state, and were it not
for them, no such man as J. Lee Plurn
mer would today be on oar state ticket
—as Plummer and Walton were the
gang's chief agents in the House at
Harrisburg, last winter.
And it is not likely that the personnel
of crar county ticket would be exactly
the same as it is were it not for these
heelers.
Bat as our friend ot the "Spirit" says
it is not necessary to join a new party
in order to vote against an nnfair or
disreputable candidate-, and with its
present National leadership the party
can right itself.
WAIi AND PEACE NOTES.
The armistice between the two armies
in Manchnria went into effect, last
Saturday, and the pickets retired from
the neutral zone.
There is now one fast train daily from
Gnnsha Pass north. There has been a
considerable advance in the value of both
native and Russian money. The na
tives welcome peace and hope that the
Peking government will send a strong
man, Yuan Shai Kai, governor of the
province of Pechill, to re-establish na
tive authority and to prevent anarchy
during the evacuation by the Russian
and Japanese armies. The people fear
the outlaws who, in large numbers, are
armed with Russian and Japanese
rifles.
A report of the Red Cross administra
tion shows that altogether 80,000 beds
and 20 trains were supplied and |11,000,-
000 were expended during the war.
Minor Red Cross organizations are al
ready leaving for home and with the
consummation of peace the entire so
ciety will be relieved, the empress' hos
pitals leaving last
An Erie fishing-boat was caught
across the Canadian line, the other day,
and allowed herself to be riddled by
ballets rather than be captured.
The Czar of Russia has called for
another peace conference at the Hague,
thus beating Teddy by a lap.
Roll Cook «»i Japan.
Captain Bob Cook, famous ex-Yale
coach, nnd former resident of Butler,
who has just returned to Paris from the
far east, fays he can hardly believe the
stories from Tokyo of riots in connec
tion with the supposed Japanese disap
pointment over the peace terms.
"I was there during n good part of
the war," he said, "including the mo
ment of the Tsnsima naval battle, and
1 never noticed any real excitement in,
or even great interest over the war.
The entire population was more inter
ested in cherry blossoms than in war.
Excursion trains were run to the open
country every day in order to allow the
people to witness the floral spectacle
presented by the Japanese landscape at
that time of year and conversations
turned more on tiowers and amusements
than on the army and navy.
"I remember particularly the great
gathering at a park In Tokyo to cele
brate Togo's naval victory-; nine ,Jai»s
out of 10 had no conception what tne
excitement was about. The solution of
the trouble must be the failure to get
Russia to pay an indemnity.
"My most interesting experience in
Japan was a visit to the Russian pris
oners. You could see they founi it a
soft snap. Any day in Tokyo yon could
see squads of 20 to 40 Russians prome
nading briskly through the streets, all
in a bunch, with apparently no Jap of
ficer guarding them. The Jap perceiv
ed the Russians wouldn't run away.
The Russians behaved well."
Faulty nistorv.
Oor remarkable governor in his speech j
at West Chester, a few day* ago. at- j
tempted to help the State machine and
discredit the efforts which decent Re
publicans are making to overthrow it
by declaring that reformers had defeat- j
ed Blaine and Harrison for the presi ,
dency. In this he was as wrong as he
generally is when he comes to discuss
political questions. It is a matter of
history that Blaine was defeated by the
vote of Oneida (ounty, N. Y . the home
of Roecoe Conkiing. who was a regular
of the regulars and the apostle of ma
chine politics. HQ was the close friend
and associate of the Camerons and
Quay. He always maintained that it
was treason to cnt the Republican
ticket, but. like all snch sticklers for
regularity, he did not hesitate to defeat
even a Republican candidate for Presi
dent to satisfy his personal grievance
In this State the Camerons and Quay
were hostitle to Blaine, and did not
raise a hand to help him. The Blaine
forces were led by John Stewart, at
present justice of the State supreme
court, and who two jears before had
been the Independent Rexmblican can
didate for governor Had Blaine been
elected President, Stewart would have
been chosen to the United States Senata
and superseded Don Cameron. This
was well known to the State machine
leaders, and hence they desired the de
feat of Blaine, and were overjoyed when
it was accomplished by their friend
Conkiing.
As to the defeat of Harrison when a
candidate for re-election, practically
the same statement may be made. Quay
was bitterly opposed to his renomina
tion and did nothing to secure his elec
tion. He knew that Harrison's re-elec
tion meant his own retirement from the
United States Senate and the election
of John Dalzell in his stead, and also
that bis pLace as leader of the machine
would have been taken by the late C.
L. Magee. who was in high favor with
Harrison. Quay's friends in Pennsyl
vania and New York and other States
therefore sulked in their tents or voted
against Harrison, who had the earnest
support of every true Republican in
Pennsylvania. Herrison's defeat led to
the re-election of Quay to the Senate
and the continuance of the domination
of his corrupt machine to the present
day.
The Independent Republicans of
Pennsylvania, who hav6 always been
arrayed against the Cameron, Quay and
Penrose State machines, have never
failed to support the Republican can
didates for President or any honest
candidates on the State ticket who
represented the real will of the party.
The machine leaders, on the contrary,
have twice helped to defeat Republican
presidential candidates, also such State
and local candidates regularly nomi
nated whom they did not wish elected
or could not control. In view of these
facts Governor Pennypacker's recent
excursion into political history was as
ridiculous as was that which he made
when he declared that M. S. Quay was
a greater man than Clay or Webster. —

SPEAKING of the many trials by
court-martial in the army, Gen. Grant
Says that fully 75 per cent of these
trials were due to the use of bad liquor
in the dens of vice near military post?.
Says the general: "These depraved
creatures use every device in their
power to induce the soldiers to patron
ize their brothels, where those who
yield to temptation are frequently drug
ged and robbed. It is distressing that
the prosperity of the vile resort* is due
to the activity of the good and worthy,
though misguided citizens, who have
succeeded in abolishing the canteen of
the army."
The Grossman Reunion.
The Grossman family met Wednes
day, September 13tb, at the home of
Alfred V. Grossman in Brady township.
Owing to the appearance of the weather
in the early morning the crowd was not
as large as was anticipated but a good
turnout made the day full of pleasure
for the ones there and long to be re
membered.
Owing to Alferd V. Grossman being
on the Milonovitz iury he could not be
present, which caused a drawback to
the features of the day.
The forenoon soon passed away and
the noon hour came with every one
ready to do justice to the good things
the ladies had prepared for tbe occa
sion, and every one seemed to enjoy
this part of the program from the way
the eatables disappeared.
After the ladies had cleared the table
the meeting was called to order. Mr.
Grant Grossman was elected Chairman
of tbe meeting and Dr. W. J. Grossman
of Butler, Secretary. Addresses were
made by Rev. McClester of Slippery
rock, and J. C. Snyder of Brady twp.,
and then some very appropriate re
marks were made by Robert, son of the
Republican nominee for Commissioner,
N. S. Grossman. Mrs. J. W. Gross
man then gave an interesting address
Tbe next tbing was to organize the
meeting as a permanant, annual organ
ization.
Tbe following committee was elected
to look after tbe meeting next year: J.
W. Grossman, Brady twp., Herbert
Black, West Sunbury; James M. Gross
man. Cherry twp ; Benjamin Grossman,
of Missouri, and Dr. W. J. Grossman,
of Buller. The committee decided to
meet at the home of J. M. Grossman of
Cherry twp., the first Tuesday of Sept.
ISKHi. Tue crowd then scattered to
thtgr homes glad they had spent the
day together and hoping to meet each
other next year. W.

red and Second and One Hundred and
Third regiments. Pennsylvania volun
teers of the Civil war, WHS held at
Zel'enople, Tuesday. Forty six of the
2,000 men who once composed the regi
ments were present. The address of

cation of the monument to Union
prisoners confined in Andersonville,
which is to take place November 10.
Butler was selected as the place of next
year's reunion.
Showocl licr A flection.
A remarkable display of wjnine af
fection and intelligence distinguishes
the recovery of a horse that wan stolen
Rt Marion, Ohio, last July by Rev. T.
11. Knowles, who han made a confession
and now languishes in jail. Knowles
acknowledges that he stole a horse and
buggy from the livery barn of Daniel
Miller, so that he conld reach the home
of his wife at Callery Junction. At
Millport, 0., he traded the mare he
stole at Marion for another. Last Fri
day, Mr. Miller, thron«f> the police,
learned his horse was at Millport. When
he arrived there it wns dark and the
horses were in the field. Risden told
him that he might go out in the field
and see the horses, ' Dollie, Dollie, come
here," cried Miller, and the mare ran to
him from the darkness, nestled her
now against his shonlder and wbinned
pitifully. "That's vour mare, all right,
you needn't go to any bother about get
ting any papers. Just take her home,"
said Ridden.
VrLaughlin Murtlrr Trial.
John B. McLanghlin was put on trial
Monday morning on a charge of murder

All Monday was consumed in selecting
a jury and when evening came the ;
venire was exhausted and only saven
jurors had been secured. It then be :
came Sheriff Gibson s dutv to call talis- ;
men from the audience, but the At- j
torneys for the Commonwealth at once
objected giving as their reason that (
the Sheriff and McLaughlin, the de- j
fendant, were full cousins. Judge i
Galbreatii sustained the objection and j
after some delay in waiting for the j
Coroner, who was not nresent, the
Judge ordered a new venire of forty
men drawn and deputized ex-Sheriff O.
C. Redic and Court Crier Criswell to do
the work. All Monday evening the
two deputies were busy selecting their
forty and summoning them to be
present Tuesday morning. The selec
tion of jurymen then proceeded and
was finished Tuesday afternoon, the
jury as empanelled being Richard
Black.of Slippervrock: Harry Cooper,
carpenter, of Evans City: Dani<-1 Dun
bar, farmer. Forward twp: W P
Martin, farmer, Venango twp.; \V A
Smith, farmer. Donegal twp.; George
Slentz, laborer, Butler: anrt Madison
Wick, laborer. Butler, out of the reg
ular venire, and J. B. Black. John 1.
Lowry, John S. Jack, J. M. Porter and
Barney Kemper, all of Butler, out
of the special venires. A second special
venire was necessary Tuesday after
noon before the jury was completed.
A3 each juror was called he was told by
Clerk Christley to look upon the prison
er, the prisoner was in tnrn told to look
upon the juror and was asked if he
challenged, one of the anti-delnvian
customs. The jurcr was then sworn
and was put through a course ot ques
tions, first by the Commonwealth and
then by the defense, which generally
resulted in his being challenged by one
or the other. Twenty peremptory chal
lenges belonged of right to each side,
and as many as necessary for cause.
The two most general causes assigned
for challenging were the juror stating
he had formed an opinion which would
be hard to change, or that he was op
posed to capital punishment.
Nearly everyone in Butler county is
familiar with the circumstances of the
affair for which McLaughlin is being
tried. He and William J. Hemphill
lived on adjoining farms two miles south
of Saxon burg. A few days before the
tragedy Hemphill had McLaughlin ar
rested for shooting his chickens when
they would cross over the road from
Hemphill's land onto McLaughlin's,
and a hearing was had on the case be
fore Squire Keck of this place. On the
morning in question Hemphill was at
work on his house with two tinners and
a stone mason. Some of his chickens
were over on McLaughlin's property.
The latter came from his house with his
gun and shot two chickens. Hemphill
left his work and crossed the road and
fence into McLaughlin's field. He was
supposed, by his friends, to have in
tended to drive the remaining chickens
out of the field to his own land, but
McLaughlin claims he picked up a club
and attempted to attack him. When
the men were not much more than
twenty feet apart. McLaughlin fired
a barrel of his gun into Hemphill's
side, killing him almost instantly. Mc
Langblin went to his house, changed
his clothes, came to Butler, and sur
rendered himself. Passing through
Saxonburg he told Squire Lensuer and
others that he had killed Hemphill in
self defense.
McLaughlin is a son of John Mc-
Laughlin, who was once Sheriff of
Butler county, and a nephew of Dunlap
McLaughiin," who was State's Attorney
at the time Mohawk was tried for the
Wigton murder, and of James Mc-
Laughlin, who was once Protbonotary
All held office between IH4O and 1850.
He is a cousin of Sheriff Gibson and of
Judge Bredin and Joseph Bredin.
Hemphill was successful as a farmer
and in the gas and oil business. He
was married to a daughter of Henry
Knoch of Saxonburg and left a large
family. , .
District Attorney Walker opened the
case for the Commonwealth, making a
brief statement of the facts as the prose
cution expected to prove them
Dr E. B. Mershon of Saxonburg was
the first witness called. He testified
that on the morning of May 5 he was
summoned to the Hemphill house. On
the way down he passed McLaughlin
OD the road. McLaughlin was driving
very fast toward Saxonburg arid he was
driving fast toward Hemphill's. Mc-
Laughlin yelled, "Go it. Doctor," and
something else which the Dr. conld not
catch. Arrived at the house he found
Hemphill dead On examination he
found a wound made by a charge of '
No. H shot in Hemphill's side, three or
four inches under the armpit. The j
wound five and one inches back
from the breast bone and was circular
in form and five inches in diameter.
The charge had entered the side, fol
lowed back along the ribs an inch or
two, penetrated through the ribs,
breaking three, and taking an upward
course through the right lung, which
was badly torn. Two or three entered
the aorta and two or three were fonnd
imbedded in the wall of the heart.
Thirty-six shots had passed through
the right forearm before entering the
side. There was a hole in the side in
which a finger conld be inserted. Dur
ing a close examination and cross ex
arnination the Doctor held that Hemp
hill must haye been in a stooping or
crouching position as though he had
juked with his right arm raised either
in protection of his face and head or to
strike a blow. This was indicated by
the course of the charge. The shot had
been fired at a distance of about twenty
five feet. He stated the houses were a
quarter of a mile apart by the road.
The place where the shooting occurred
was 75 or #5 feet from the road and 110
or 120 feet from Hemphill's house.
Tuesday night the jurymen slept on
cots placed in Grand Jury room and
that will be their place of residence nn
til the trial is over. They are taken to
a hotel for their meals*
Wednesday morning the cane opened
with Conrt rooui not overly crowded,
most of those present being from the
southeastern corner of the county
Mrs. Hemphill and her children sat
back of the counsel for the prosecution,
and Mr. McLaughlin's family sat back
of him
Conntv Detectl ve Hoon was the first
witness called in the morning and was
placed on the stand by the prosecution
to testify as to the locations of the shot
markn on the shirt which was shown
the jury Tuesday when Or. Mershom
was on the stand. The shirt was placed
on Mr. Hoon and he indicated where
the shots had struck Mr. Hemphill,
whom the detective said was a little
taller than himself.
William Heginbotham, Saxonburg, a
tinner, was the next witness. He testi
tied in answer to different questions
that he knew the location of the Mc-
Laughlin and Hemphill farms. The
witness said he was putting some spout
ing on the roof of the porch of a house
Mr. Hemphill was building, the day of
the tragedy. A photograph of the house
shown, but before ho could answer the
defense objected to any testimony re
garding the photograph until there was
proof what it was. He was excused as
a witness for the time being and C. T.
Aland was called and testified that he
had taken a number of photographs of
the Hemphill house and surroundings
Oreer objected to the use of photographs
on the grounds that they are not com
petent evidence and are misleading.
The court ruled that plots made by a
surveyor were permissible as evidence,
and ho could see no reason why photo
graphs would not be permissible, but if
rulings by the Supreme court conld lie
. shown in which photographs were not
J regarded as proper evidence they would
be ruled out The court suggested that
tha offer of photographs as evidence be
withheld for the present.
Mr. Heginbotham was recalled and
detailed the events of the morning of
May sth n» he saw them. He said theie
were no trees or other objects directly
in front of the Hemphill house. Mr
Hemphill bad been at the house helping
a stone mason during the morning The J
last time he saw Hemphill alive he was
going over to the McLaughlin farm. !
He had his handsnp and w»- "shooing.'
Saw a chicken in McLaughlin's field;
first saw McLaughlin after I got on the
roof of the porch; he was in his field;
heard a shot and then another before!
Hemphill went into McLaughlin's field
I heard some hollowing as if McLaugh
lin was ordering Hemphill to get out
of the field: then 1 heard the third shot.
After the third shot I got down from
the roof and went over to the Mc-
Laughlin field saw Mr. Hemphill ly
| sng on the ground; saw McLaughlin,
, he was about 25 feet away, and was
walking toward the road. I said to
I him, "John. I'm afraid you've done
I bad work.' lasted him if he would
i help me to carry Hemphill to his
! home, but he refused, continuing in his
walk toward the road. I think he went
to his own home. McLaughlin had a
| gun with him. I was the first person
jon the ground after the shooting. "I
; am certain it was McLaughlin's voice
j which called, "Get out of my field . '
don't think there were any sticks or
clubs lying around; took the body and
laid it "on the grass near the old nouse;
Hemphill was unconscious and did not
move. Afterwards we carried Hemp
hill to the new honse and laid him on a
bed. Walter Rudiger, a stone mason.
Mr. and Mrs Hemphill and niy brother
and myself were the only persons at the
house before the shooting The piece
of wood fuund where the body had lain
was placed there by Rndiger anil he got
it at least 150 feet from where the body
lay; it was placed on Hemphill's hat to
show the location of the l>ody after the
shooting.
To the court the witness said. "The
shot came very quickly after the re
mark, Get out of my field. "
I ?poko to McLaughlin and said.
"John. lin afraid that uian is dead. '
He replied. "I couldn't help it: it was
in self defense.'*
The witness was asked. "Didn't you
sav at the coroner's inquest that Mc-
Laughlin called Hemphill three times
to stop and go back." The witness re
plied I don't know just what I said as I
was excited.
McLaughlin had hitched up his horse
and was driving toward Saxonburg be
fore we had tsken the body to the new
house: was quite a little time before the
bodv was removed.
Gilbert Heginbothain, tinner. Saxon
burg; saw McLaughlin in hi* field after
the first shot; was across the road from
Hemphill's: saw McLaughlin about 9:45;
did not notice how he carried the gun;
couldn't see McLaughlin after the first
shot on account of trees hi the tvay;was
on the porch when the third shot was
fired. After the second shot saw Hemp
hill going across the road: couldn't have
been very long after that when next
shot was fired: heard McLaughlin or
dering Hemphill out of the field; im
mediately after that the third shot was
fired: when we got in the field Hemp
hill was lying on his back, parallel to
the road; McLanglin was carrying the
chicken across the field; he had a gun.
He told the same story of what follow
fed as the previous witness. McLaugh
lin and Hemphill were alone in the
field: there was neither stick or club on
the ground. I went for a doctor: didn't
help to take the body to the house; came
back after dinner: saw stick oil the hat:
was not there when we found the body.
Cross examined bv Mr. Bredin, Saw
McLaughlin in the field with his gun:
suppose we were a little excited after
the shooting: was a witness at coroner's
inquest; don t remember saying tbnt I
heard McLauglin say "stop." Saw Mc-
Laughlin at Saxonburg about 11 o'clock;
heard about the club after dinner, but
did not see it when we found the body;
walked around where the body lay but
saw nothing on the ground.
