WELL RECEIVED.

The nomination of j. d. McJunkin,
Esq, for Congress, at the Mercer Con-
ference meeting, meets with hearty
approval by nearly every Republican of
this place, and also of the party through
out the county, 80 far as we have
heard. He was warmly greeted by his
many friends and will undoubtedly poll
. very large vote in November.

EDITORS CITIZEN-As a student of
the old Butler Academy and returning
to Butler after an unbroken absence
of forty years | wish to recall The FOL
lowing rtmembrances:
Prof Hays was then Artium Magis-
ter or our Master as we called it then
and ruled with dignity and taught
after the Pythagorean order, saying
little and meaning much. The advance
class in the Butler Academy at that
time embraced the following young
gentlemen, forty years ago:
John Ii. Negley, Esq, Charles Gill
key, NJ. d., in Missouri, Rev. Bennett
DR.. Maxwell, Walter Welsh and Rev t.
Leason, these constituted the chief
members of the advance class, and
were all of them youths of gentlemanly
department, and we are glad to learn
are men of good record in their various
professions.
The leadingmen in the the town of
that day were the Negleys, Zeiglers,
Maxwells, Bredins, and others. Medi-
cal men-Drs. DeWolf, Graham and
Linn. Lawyers, c. c. Sullivan, Pur-
yiances and Gillmores. Rev. Young,
chief Minister. The writer Immediately
after leaving the Academy entered the
University of Ohio, from which he re-
ceiyed the Degrees of Bachelor and
Master of Arts, and becam9 President
and Professor of several Institutions in
the South and West, occupying a space
of thirty years; was ordained to the
work of the ministry in 1850. He is
now equal to any of bis class in white
ness Of locks, to say nothing of mental,
moral and religious attainments.
In leaving the town he gives his res
poets to all the citizens and especially
to the acquaintances Of forty years ago.
Praying that for forty years to come
Butler shall be equally presentable to
tho Traveller, though he and his COM
rades shall lie in the home of the dead.
We bid you all an allectionate farewell.
w. III. COOPER.
Butler, June 30. 1850.
Mr. Cooper came to the old Acad-
emy from Muddycreek township, in
the fall Of 1910, with one of the Lewis
boys. We did not recognize him when
he entered our office, on the 29th of
June, ult,, and it was with difficulty
we could recall the iaintest trace or
recollection of him as IL school mate.
He is now residing at Connellsville,
Fayette Co., this State, engaged as q
Minister, and also in the publication of
journal in the interest Of the Baptist
church.-ED.

ieopardized the chances of the party's
success. bv his utter disregard of the
agreement entered into with Mr.. Nc
Jnnkin.
1t was predicted, even by the Dem
ocrats, long before the conference was
called, that the typical weather-cocks of
Cameron, Robinson, Miller and Dick
would pull together to defeat McJun-
kin, and whether tie ending justified
the means or not, they obeyed the mas
ter with true religious submission. But
it's no use. The people have declared
against ring rule and are determined
to destroy the last vistage of it in the
26th district.

CONGRESSIONAL CONFERENCE.

In another place will be seen the
proceedings Of the meeting Of the Con-
gressionaI Conference of this district
that assembled in Mercer on Tuesday
the 9th inst, at p. VI. How they came
to assemble then and there, and the re-
suit of the meeting will be found in the
proceedings. We invite every Repub
lican of this county, and of this dis
trict, to give them a careful and candid
reading. We also invite attention to
an article from the Titusville Herald
of July 0, Republican paper Of wide
circulation and wide Influence in the
district, and whose editor was upon
the ground to report all proceedings,
which, with the exception Of one or two
minor points, agree with the Official re-
port. We prefer this method Of laying
the matter in full before the Republi-
cans Of this county, rather than to any
statement of our own at present.
The only matter of trouble in the
Conference was that which came from
Crawford county, where there were
two gentlemen, Messrs. Dick and Rob
erts, claiming to be the regular nomi-
nee of that county. The Butler confer
ees thought that Senator Roberts had
decidedly the strongest case on his
side. Their reason for thinking so were
the facts that he showed, first, that he
had ll3 of majority of the votes at
the Crawford county primary election /;
second, that the alleged throwing out
of two wards of the city of Titusville,
carried by him, was not done by ma
jority Of the Crawford County Con-
vention, as required by their rule, but
was done in an irregular and unfair
manner; third, that he had no more
votes in Titusville than he was enti-
tied to from the Republican strength
there, inasmuch as he had only about
the same vote now for nomination that
Mr.. Dick himself had at the primary
two years ago when candidate and
nominated for Congress; the vote for
Dick at the primary in 1878, being
1863, and the vote for Roberts in 1880
being 1893, by which it will be seen that
Dick received but 25 votes less in Ii
tusville in 1878 than Senator Roberts
did in June last, although Mr. Rob
erts lives there and Dick does not, and
although Titusvie is rapidly grow
ing city. These and other unanswered
arguments and statements were offered
in favor of Senator Roberts, as the
nominee Of Crawford county; yet the
Mercer county candidate, Mr.. Miller,
and his conferees, for some incompre-
hensible reason, proposed and were
willing to reject Roberts and admit
Dick, the minority man, to the Confer
ence at the very outstart. So unfair a
proposition was not agreed to by the
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1880-07-14
A WORD OF CAUTION.

To the Republican Committee OF
this county a word of caution seems
advisable just now. Our county ticket
is all completed, except the settling OF
the candidate for the State Senate,
which will soon be done by this and
Armstrong county. 1t is already ap-
parent that the utmost harmony and
the united efforts of all may be neces-
sary to give our candidates, National
State and County, that vote that they
should have in the county The cleo
ton of the Congress and the Legisla-
tive tickets, in this and all other coun-
ties of the State, is of the greatest i'm
portance this year. 1t is therefore no
time for further strife in or annoyance
to the party from any quarter. The
late County Convention of Return
Judges, that received and counted up
the result of the late primaries,
done its work patiently and fully, IN
vestigating the only matter of COM
plant made to it by any candidate
Most candidates, when they are defeat
ed, have honor and respect enough for
themselves and the party to submit to
the will of the people. But some have
become such chronic Office seekers that
no number of defeats appears to quiet
them. They are sore-headed-contin-
ually growing and complaining, annoy
ing the party and endangering its sue
cess. This, we are told, is the case
with one of the candidates defeated at
the late primary, who is said to be
striving with and endeavoring to pro-
cure from some members Of the County
Committee, something or other to boil
ster up some claim to re-hearlng or
recount of the votes then cast, or in
other words, asking the Committee to
undo just exactly what they did do.
Such thing, if now allowed, will en-
danger our whole ticket. 1t therefore
becomes the duty Of each and every
member of the present County Commit
tee to give no ear or encouragement to
any such restless, selfish disturber OF
the peace Of the party. 1t can result
in no good, and the interests. of the
party forbid it. We have thought these
few words of caution TO the members
of the County Committee might be
needed at present, as we believe they
would not knowingly do anything to
further distract or divide the Republi-
can party in this county.
