THE CONVENTION.

Considering the result of the prima-
ries, as counted up in the convention
of Return Judges on Monday, we can
afford to pass by in silence some things
very discreditable to certain parties,
that were attempted in the Convention.
Had they succeeded the party must
have suffered, and their failure was
most significant and telling. The Con-
vention was composed of gentlemen
who had the best interests of the party
in view, and who by their final action
evinced decided determination to pre-
vent any unfairness of action in the
the Convention. The proceedings as
a general thing were harmonious The
ticket nominated and the aggregate
vote received by each candidate will
be seen in another place. Full pro-
ceedings, with table in detail OF the
primary vote will be furnished our
readers next week. The Convention
passed several resolutions, among them
one authorizing the candidates nomln-
ated for Congress and Senate, Messrs.
M'Junkin and Greer, appoint their sew
eral Conferees to meet similar ones
from the other counties in Conference.

Garfield on the Unit Rule.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-A cores
pondent interviewed Gen Garfield yes
terday evening on the unit rule as ap-
piled to the binding of delegates in the
National Convention He said:
Delegates to National Conventions
are two classes-delegates at large and
district delegates The delegates at
large, which are elected by State Con.
ventions are, by virtue of their crea-
alton, the representatives of the Con-
vention to which they owe their Off
cial existence. The Convention has
the undoubted right to instruct them
to vote as it sees fit, but district dele
gates are either selected by the people
of district Convention, or else by
delegates from district to State
Convention. They are creatures OF a.
district and not of State convention,
and they should be left to obey the
voice of the district, or when that is
not we'll defined, to their own individ-
ual judgement A State Convention
has no right to dictate as to how they
shall vote. This idea of States instruct
ting to vote as a unit is the old Con-
federate one, and is based On the the
ory that the State is supreme. A dis
trict delegate is in immediate relation
to the people, and State Convention
has no right to abridge that represen-
tative power for the reason that he IS
not a creature Of the Convention. A
district delegate is in immediate line
of the people, the same as citizen Is
in immediate connection with the ma
tion, and holds that connection above
any State authority or license. A citl-
zen in giving his allegiance to the gov
ernment is untrammeled by State in
reference, and so delegate, as rep
resentative direct from the people,
should be allowed to vote as his peo-
pie request, and not as State Con-
vention demands.
'This State unit instruction busi-
ness is the introduction of the Confed-
crate idea into a Union Convention,
and the question is, shall the Confed-
crate idea usurp the Union one and
control it's Convention 1t is Tam
many Hall method of controlling a
party for personal or sinister motives,
and if it is introduced at Chicago it
will be the first time that Tammany
rule has captured Republican Con-
vention."
"Will the rule be broken at Chi
cago 2"
"From what / hear | should say it
would. The conflict of the Convention
will be upon this rule. The struggles
in the party are now centering around
this one ISSUE"
Do you know whether there is a
combination between the Blaine and
Sherman men to break it down 2"
"I know nothing about combinations
of any kind whatever, but | believe
that all, whether they be Grant,
Blaine or Sherman, who are opposed
to this anti-represetative rule will
unite to effect its destruction"
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1880-06-02
The Great Political Event.

The Republican National Conven-
tion assemblies at Chicago to-day. 1t is
supposed it may be in session several
days. The great struggle is for the
nomination for the Presidency. We
have heretofore given our views fully
as to the candidates. The nomination
will depend, we still believe, upon the
proper disposal of the unit rule" ques-
ton as to the voting Of the delegates.
Gen. Grant has not majority with
out the benefit of that rule. We believe
it will be ignored and repudlated at
the very start, and in that event we
hope for the nomination of Blaine.
The general impression is that bitter
strife will take place, and that clark
horse" or name not now prominently
mentioned, will, as compromise, carry
off the prize. This may happen. But it
is useless to speculate on the result.
Elsewhere IN our paper to-uay VIII NC
found some views expressed and the
latest dispatches from Chicago, from
which our readers will be able to gather
some idea of what is going on there
Tt is estimated that in addition to the
delegates not less than fifteen thousand
others will visit that city. These will
generally be the active politicians of
the country that 60 to help on the
cause of their favorite candidate. No
National Convention was ever so I'M
portant. Tie news from it for the CON-
ing few days will be looked for with
great interest. We hope for harmony and
an acceptable nominee.

ing, carpentering and coopering. Every
shop is to be included, the production
of which is $500 annually, including
coat of materials, and the kind of busi-
ness is to be described specifically. The
questions are as to the name of the cor
poration, company or individual; the
name of the business, manufacture or
product; the capital invested; the
greatest number of hands employed at
any one time during the year; the
average number of hands employed, in
Guiding males above sixteen years, fe-
males above fifteen years, and children

binary daily labor from May to Novem-
ber, and November to May; the aver
age days wages for skilled mechanics
and ordinary laborers; the amount paid
in wages during the year; the months
in operation; the value of material, in
Guiding mill supplies and fuel; the
value of products, including jobblng
and repairing the kind and amount of
power used, whether water or steam.
The census year for the schedule of
mortality begins June l, 1879, and
ends May 3, 1880. The important
point in this schedule is as to disease
or cause of death, including the prima-
ry disease and the complication, if any.
Distinction as to paralysis, and in case
of suicide, the means employed is to be
stated. The general questions of the
schedule relate to age, sex, color, con-
dition as to marriage, nativity of the
person enumerated, and of his or her
father and mother the occupation,
month of death and cause of death of
the person the length of time of his or
her residence in the county the place
where the disease was contracted, and
the name of the attending physician.
There are seven supplemental schedules
relating to the defective, dependent
and delinquent classes" They call
for an enumeration and an account of
the condition of insane persons, idiots,
deaf mutes, blind persons, homeless
children, persons in prison, and pau
pers and INDECENT persons supported at
the public expense.

IT is interesting, though not impor-
tant, to recall just now the fact that of
all the boilers against the "unit rule"
in the National Conventions that
Pennsylvania has produced, Senator
Cameron was the first and chief. 1t
was in 1868, and in Chicago, too.
The Pennsylvania delegation then, as
now, had been instructed by the State
Convention to vote as unit.-Pits-

The procession formed at the Court
House, Saturday morning at 8 O'Clock
A. NJ, and then marched to the differ
ent cemeteries, in the following order:
Chief Marshal and aids.
Citizens Cornet Band.
School Children.
Soldiers Orphans.
Butler Cornet Band
Aaron Sullivan Guards.
Soldiers of the late war.
Citizens in carriages.
After having decorated the graves of
the soldiers in the different cemeteries,
the procession then returned to the
Court House, and organized by elect
ing John t. Kelley Esq, President
Messrs. A. Russell and - McLaugh-
lin Vice Presidents, and therepresenta-
tives of the press as Secretaries. After
a short prayer by Rev. Ferguson, the
President introduced the orator of the
day, Geo. w. Fleeger, ESQ.,, who
delivered a short, but very appropriate
address, concluding it with quota
ton, from that beautiful poem,
"Cover them over with Beautiful
Flowers"
Newton Black, ESQ.,, was then intro
duced, and recited short poem, en-
titled, eve drank from the Same Can
teen"
A vote of thanks was returned to
the different organizations, which
turned out, and especially to the
school children and Soldiers Orphans.
The meeting then adjourned
ON Friday last the first barrel of
flour from this gears wheat crop,
reached N. Y, from Amercus, Ga, and
was sold by auction at the Produce
Exchange for SIS. 1t will now be sent
to Liverpool, where it will be re-sold in
the same way, the proceeds to be de-
voted to the repairs of the Episcopal
Church at Americus. Considering the
remarkably early date at which the pro-
duct came to market and the worthy
object which its price is to benefit, it
seems to US that the members of the
Exchange were very tame in their
'bidding )" surely here was splendid
opportunity for vigorously "bulling"
the -four market.
THERE is every indication of a
stormy time at the Chicago Conven-
tion, and the Grant managers arc evil
IDENTIFY alarmed at the prospect. When
such men as Gen. Garfield, Gov. Fos-
ter, Eugene Hale, and others of equal
National reputation as Republican
leaders openly announce their deter
mination to deny the right of State
Convention to bind district delegates
by instructions and the unit rule, the
Grant triumvirate see that the ques-
tion must be fairly met and settled by
the vote of the delegates. The tactics
by which Cameron, Conkling and
Logan have overborne the opposition
to the third term in their respective
State Conventions cannot be success
fully resorted to in National Conven-
ton. If they have enough delegates
pledged to Grant to nominate him,
they can afford to dispense with the
unit rule. If they have not, the friends
of all the other candidates will natur-
ally combine to vote against the die
tation of State Conventions. General
Garfield sums up the arguments which
will be used and which are not easy
to answer. He holds that the delegates
chosen to represent districts are
creatures of the district and not of the
State Convention, which has no right
to dictate how they shall vote. State
dictation-the unit rule-is the old
Confederate theory that the State is
supreme

The names OF the successful candl-
dates for the different Offices to elect in
this county this fall will be seen at our
mast head this week. They are all
well and favorable known to the peo-
pie of the county and need no special
recommendation at our hands. Mr..
McJunkin, the nominee for Congress,
carried the county after very warmly
fought contest. He is native OF this
county, and in the prime of manhood,
being in the 4lst year of his age.
His own good name and upright char
acter was tower of strength to him,
and there is very general satisfaction
with his success. He will be present
ed by his friends to the other counties
of the district, Crawford and Mercer,
with equal claims and chances for
the district nomination.
For the State Senate, John M.
Greer, ESQ.,, the present incumbent, is
again presented by this county. The
district is composed of Armstrong and
Butler counties and if Mr. Greer can
receive the nomination in the district
he will be strong candidate. The
vote he received at our primaries indi-
Gates his hold upon the people of this
county.
For the Assembly, two excellent
men are nominated, VIM. P. Braham,
ESQ.,, of Mercer township, and DIR. Syl-
vester D. Bell, of Millerstown. Mr..
Braham is perhaps as well known as
any citizen of the county and has the
respect and confidence of his fellow
citizens to very high degree. DIR.
Bell is perhaps less known, but the fa-
vorable report of him by all who
knew him added much to his nomina-
tion and is guarantee that the people of
the county will not be disappointed in
the confidence they have expressed by
their votes for him. He stands high in
his profession as physician and is a
gentleman in all respects. He is man
of but few words but of very good
sense. Both he and Mr. Braham will
make intelligent Legislators and are
pledged to the Republicans of the
county by their good character if
elected, to be found opposed to all cor
ruption or ring rule in their capacity as
members of the General Assembly of
the State
A. NJ Cunningham, Esq, the nomi-
nee for District Attorney, is young
man of more than ordinary intelligence
and will make faithful and honest Of
fcer. The vote he ran is attributed to
to the good name he bears and the
confidence and respect borne him by all
who knew him. He displayed remark
able energy in his canvass, and his
nomination is very gratifying to his
numerous friends.
Ex-Sheriff, Abraham McCa ndless,
who has received the nomination for
Associate Judge, is well known to the
people of this county. BY an accident,
happening to him about a year ago, he
is rendered cripple for life. Few men
have been more useful to their fellow
citizens, and few men bear better
character for honesty and goodness of
heart.
Nathan M. Slator, Esq, the nom-
inee for County Surveyor, is well
