In a Nutshell.

Elsewhere in this paper will be read
some articles from Republican ex-
changes on the right of the people as
against what il known as the unit
rule" in State Conventions. The
whole question is settled by the fact
that if the Republicans of a county or
a Congressional district have the right
to select delegates to the National Con
vention. it follows, as matter oil
course, that they have the right to IN
siyucf them. That the one right IN
wolves the other. That it is absurd to
to say, you may select, but not instruct
those YOU select. The power to select
or elect delegates by the counties or
districts, being thus not denied, the
whole question is concluded, and a
State Convention cannot arbitrarily
take from them that right; and if they
have that right, the other, to instruct
those you elect, follows as one OF not
only common sense but as necessary
principle of representative government
The present discussion going on this
year will likely settle all trouble on
this question in the future-and has
therefore done much good.

Fire in PetrClia.

A fire originated in the sitting room
of the Monitor House at seven o'clock
on the morning of the 9Th inst, pre-
samably by throwing oil in the stove.
In few minutes the entire building
was enveloped in flames. The firemen
responded promptly to the alarm. De-
spite every exertion the Monitor House,
the Austin House, Dewey's building,
Mapes Bros grocery and the depot
were soon reduced to ashes The pro-
gress of the flames was checked at
Lazenby's grocery, and when the tin
der-lke construction of that bdilding
is considered, the fact is remarkable.
But little internal effects were saved.
The loss will aggregate eighteen
thousand dollars. There is only about
five thousand insurance. The propri-
etors of the Monitor House had their
insurance policies cancelled few days
before, preferring the chances to the
extortionate rates.
The Mapes Bros. are perhaps the
heaviest sufferers, but are partly COW
cred by insurance. They are enterpris-
ing dealers and we hope will soon be
rebuilt and ell right again

A WORD more is perhaps due to
Judge Fielder in connection with what
has been said as to the part he bore in
the late State Convention as one ofthe
delegates representing this county.
Our first remark, when we saw it
stated that our three delegates, Greer
Mckee and the Judge, had voted for
Rlssell Errett as Chairman of the
Convention, was, that as to Judge
Fielder we had no doubt he had been
imposed upon as regarded that vote.
Since our last issue we have had the
pleasure of meeting the Judge in town
here and learned from himself that we
were correct in that supposition. The
Judge states that he was informed be-
fore casting that vote, and thought
when doing the same, "that Errett was
n good Blaine man." and did not know
at the time that he (Errett) was one
of the principal Grant leaders in the
State. Had he known how the matter
was his vote would have been different.
This was the first State Convention he
ever had been in. The Judges votes
on all other questions were in the in
terest of Mr.. Blaine for the Presidency
and given in the right direction, ac-
cordiug to bis Instructions

THERE are not many but will ap-
prove the action of our Court last
week in limiting license as much as
possible in this county. A great change
seems to be taking place in the minds
of all good citizens on this question.
Temperance houses for "thc accommo-
dation of strangers and travellers" are
now in successful operation in many
parts of the county, and hence it is
argued there is no necessity for license,
as strangers and travellers" are ac-
commodated without it. This, it was
alleged, was the case in this borough,
and in granting the few licenses the
Court did it took occasion to instruct
keepers of licensed houses that the
licensed part of the same had relation
in law entirely to 'thc accommodation
of strangers and travellers" and not to
that of residents for mere tippling pur-
poses. This is undoubtedly TIE mean
ing and intent of the law, but which
has been sadly misunderstood hereto

EDITOR ROBINSON claims that he
published the Sheriff-s election procla-
nation ''in the usual way" secured his
warrant and drew the 500 ''in the
usual way" So long as it was under
stood that the Eagle was permitted TO
publish the Sheriff's advertising this
plea might work, but since he was no.
titled months ago that he was shut
out" we fail to see that it has any
weight. Some time last summer We
were subp9naed to appear as a witness
against the Sheriff in a suit brought by
the Eagle for the recovery of bill
that we then considered unjust. There
is a certain sum allowed by law for the
publication of the Sheriff-s sales, they
to be published in not less than two
papers, and in as many more as he
chooses. The sum is divided according
TO the number of papers employed. For
instance two papers get an equal half |;
four papers one-fourth each, and so on.
At the time mentioned Mr.. Robinson
was employed together with four other
papers, each paper being entitled to
one-fifth the amount. When it came to
settlement Mr.. Robinson refused to ac-
cept the amount rendered him. He
claimed more than we were allowed,
upon what grounds we know not. The
consequence was lawsuit against the
Sheriff, who refused to appear Judg-
ment was rendered in favor of Robin
son, and we suppose he has collected
his extra sum. Since that time he has
not been ordered by the Sheriff to do
any printing; hence his plea of. "the
usual way will not do.-Hillers-

National Convention.

The Republican National Convention
will consist of 756 delegates, and ma
jority only is required to nominate
Two delegates are allowed for each
Representative and Senator in Con.
gress, and two from each Territory and
the District of Columbia. There are
293 Representatives, rs Senators,
Territories and the District, and that
number doubled makes 1856. The Dem.
ocratic National Convention consists of
only 1873 delegates who are entitled to
vote The District of Columbia dele
gates aud those from Territories are
merely honorary they are not permit
ted to vote. The rule now in force in
holding Democratic Conventions re-
quires two-thirds vote to nominate
candidates for President and Vice Pres
ident, but it will be in the power of the
coming Convention to abolish it and
substitute the majority rule if it sees
fit. There has been objection raised to
the two-thirds rule in every Conven-
tion for years.
The Convention of 1876 adopted a
resolution favoring the adoption of the
majority rule in future and left The
matter for the next Convention to take
up and enforce. 1t is more likely,
though, that the same influences which
have heretofore operated against the
change will be potent enough in the
coming Convention to prevent its be-
ing made In the Republican Conven-
tion it will require 379 to nominate,
while in the Democratic--unless the
rule he changed--it will require 492.

THE Eagle may wriggle, and try to
divert attention from the matter now
engrossing the Republicans of this
county, by playing at its old game OF
casting suspicious upon the political
fidelity of others but when we have
the name of one man for President at
the head of our paper and all the po-
litical reading in it in favor of another
candidate, as was the case with it in
the Grant and Greeley campaign OF
1872. then it will be time for it to
make such remarks as it did last week.
AS the Eagle was not for Grant, ,chen
nominated, in 1912, perhaps it is one
reason for its course now, in order to
make some amends, and if he is nomi-
mated again it will be expected from it
to give Grant full and fair support.
As to the present Editorship of that
paper, while we have not intended to
be discourteous, yet we cannot recog-
nize what all hereabouts know to be a
sham, if not something worse.

Some Difficulties of the Supervisor.


Supervisor Richmond has been made
the subject of criticism by an Erie
paper, apparently because he did not
make favorable and prompt response
to an applicant for one of the many
enumeratorships. Mr. r. finds it quite
impossible to answer the food of COM
munications which pour in on him.
His district, embracing very large ter
ritory, has required great labor to map
out into sub districts, and now that the
work of blocking out has been COM
pleted, the appointments of enumer-
ators will be made as fast as possible,
but will not be announced until all are
decided on for the different counties
composing the district.
Mr.. Richmond has decided on ap-
pointments for many districts, but the
appointees will not be notified until
fuller instructions are received from the
superintendent, and other matters still
underlined are settled. People who are
expecting replies to their lengthy petit
tions will readily understand that it is
quite impossible to answer, as in most
cases there are many applicants for
every position, and there are about 300
districts. Each one of the applicants
has several friends to intercede, and
the best that can be done is to con-
slider the competency and claims of the
numerous applicants. There is not
salary enough attached to the position
of Supervisor scarcely to pay the post
age on the replies; Of which any one
can satisfy himself by look at his
daily heap of letters.
The above, from the Meadville Re
publican Of the 5th inst, gives US about
the first news we have here as to
Census matters in this district. 1t was
supposed that Mr.. Richmond, the Su-
pervisor, would visit the county seat
of each county before determining the
number of the enumerating districts or
the persons to be appointed to the
same But from the above we would
infer that all these questions will be
settled at Meadville. Any applicants
in this county who have not yet sent
their petitions we presume had better
therefore send them CD. Asths Sepste

sDo Representatives Represent p

The Meadville Republican of last
Friday has a very sensible article,
under the above heading, in which 1t
fully reviews the action taken by the
whole of the three counties of this Con
gressional district at their Committee
meetings in January last when select
ing delegates to the late Republican
State Convention From all the pro-
ceedngs, in each county, 1t goes on to
show that our delegates, Messrs. Cor
don. of Mercer, and Robinson, of this
county, are fully instructed to vote for
Mr.. Blaine for President in the Ma
tional Convention, and 1t believes
they will do so, and seems to think there
is no Just grounds for the fear existing
among the Republicans of the district
on the subject. We hope it may be
right. and all would like to take that
view of the matter, and share with the
ReDubiicnn in its confidence that the
delegates from this district must and
will obey and respect the instructions
already given them. But it is safe rule
to Judge the future by the past. As Pat
rick Henry said on a memorable occa-
sion, eve have no lamp to guide our
feet but that of experience, and, being
guided by that, the Republicans of this
county have just reason to feel uneasy
on the subject They have been be-
traved before. and even in this very
matter we know, as the Republican
knows. that in the whole three coun-
ties there are already complaints as to
what was done at the State Conven-
tion by some of the delegates from each
of the counties. And besides, up to
this time we have no expression from
either Mr.. Gordon or Mr. Robinson as
to their status on the emit rule" ac-
tion in the State Convention. But on
the contrary to this time both of their
papers are ominously silent. We have
noticed not a word in the Mercer Dis
patch, edited by Mr. Gordon, as to how
he construes instructions. The very
action of the Meadville meeting indi-
Gates an uncertain feeling and even
distrust of our delegates. But answers
to the Committee appointed by that
meeting will, we hope, scon dispel this
distrust. We agree with the Repub-
hcan, that if we are betrayed at Chi
cago, that ''such crime would make
Judas Iscariot blush and Peters denial
hardly worth rebuke" But at the
same time we cannot, as we now see
matters, "urge the Republicans of the
district to calm their suspicious" The
right course is being taken, and, as we
have said, we presume there will soon
be something definite ascertained in
this district, like has been done in
other districts of the State, and we
hope our friend of the Republican may
be right in the confidence he has and
in the view he has taken in the matter

Communications.
A Plea for President Hayes.

.Hessrs. Editors-In looking over
the last two issues of your paper, we
notice a variety of clippings from a
number of Republican papers through
out the State of Pennsylvania, in re-
gard to the recent State Convention.
Those opinions are almost As contra
dictOrv as they are numerous. Some
think Blaine was the choice of the Con-
vention. others that Grant was the
choice. and still Others think that j. ID.
Cameron had an AK to grind upon the
political stone. There is one thing
certain. there was no harmony in that
Convention. and we believe that the
district delegates to Chicago are unin-
structed. a. far as that Convention Is
concerned, and will be at liberty also to
vote for the best man when his name is
brought before the Convention.
We don't believe that either of the
above named parties is the right man
in the right place But we do believe
that the name of r. B. Hayes, who now
holds the reins of Government, will be
the nominee of that Convention. Our
reason for thinking so Is, that he Is a
conscientious man and is well qualified
to discharge the duties of the Office; his
administration that is now drawing to
close has been one of the most sue
cessful that has been for thirty years
He had more opposition to meet and
overcome in the commencement OF his
administration than the lamented Lin
coin. but he. by firm reliance on Prov
idence and the use of the talents that
God has given him, oyercame all the
opposition that was brought to bear
against him. | have never heard any
reason given why Mr.. Hayes should
not be renominated for q second term,
and | think it would be an eternal dis
grace on the Republican party to throw
the man overheard who saved the ship
when she was on fire. When Mr..
HAYES was elected the Democrats cried
fraud" stating that he was not fairly
elected. Why not give us another
chance to remedy the evil! 1t is well
known to every intelligent mind in this
country that President Hayes has done
more to wipe out sectional feeling and
animosities than was done in the twelve
preceding years, and the whole country
to-day is in a more prosperous and
happy condition than for twenty years.
| would like to know the reason why
the name of r. B. Hayes is left to drift
so long with the under current. There
ought to be enough of water in the Re
publican reservoir to bring it to the
surface
And now, after the mild winter, the
spring is upon us once more, and so
will the candidates soon be too. They
say that it is wise hunter that always
carries his gun loaded, and SO some of
the candidates for Assembly have their
guns loaded already to fire on the voters
of this county before long. The cart
ridge is, that if they are elected, they
will vote for no special or local legis-
lation. If we read Alright, the new
Constitution of the State prohibits this
kind of legislation Don't load so heavy
the next time. FAIR PLAY.

L. z. MITCHELL, Esq, was greeted
with full house last Tuesday evening
week on the occasion of his lecture,
entitled Nothing with Variations. +"
1t seemed to us that the Variations
got away with Nothing" A better
title would have been Something with
out much of Anything" However,
there were many pretty thoughts and
fine quotations running through the
lecture of Mr.. Mitchell. The most in
teresting part of it, perhaps, was the
declaration of his creed, in which he
was eminently orthodox. His early
boyhood friends were glad to learn
that he had become good in his de-
clining years.
