deavored by all manner of dirty work
and tricks to prevent our county from
getting the candidate for Congress in
this district, although our county had
an equal claim to said nomination yet
he is now the chief engineer, it is said,
in trying to get for the county the Sen
ate nomination, which it is well known
we cannot rightfully claim, according
to party usage This kind of work
won't do, gentlemen, and we wonder
you have not learned it by this time.
There must be fair dealing all around
and if the events of the past six months
have not taught anything yet, you
are destined to further disappointment.
We announce this not only as a de-
mand for fair play, but in the interest
and for the harmony of the Republican
party of this county, which we desire
much to promote, but which has been
outraged for some time past through and
for the selfish ends of few. We know
that majority Of the Republicans of
the county are heartily with us in seek
ing relief from the tricksters who
have been thus using them and the
party for their own advantage.

THF HUDSON RIVER HORROR.

The dreadful accident in the Hudson
River Tunnel last Wednesday has no
parallel in the history of submarine
tunneling. The Thames Tunnel, the
first considerable work of the kind, was
twice interrupted in its construction
bv the breaking in of the water, and
the consequent filling in of the tunnel
with sand and mud, but on the first
occasion all the workmen were got out
alive. and on the second only one
man was cut off by the fallen earth
and drowned No submarine tunnel,
whether intended for travel or for
water supply, as at Chicago, has been
completed if of any great length,
without difficulty and embarrassment
on account of the unequal character of
the material through which the exca-
vations were made, and the consequent
tendency to crush in the roof or sides
with the immense pressure OF water.
By great good fortune, however, these
disasters have cost little more than an
moving delay and additional expendi
ture of money. In the New York case
there has been loss of twenty-five
lives, making it one of the most fatal
of engineering disasters in the history
of the country.
The Hudson River Tunnel was pro-
jected several years ago and work was
commenced upon it in 1874 The OBJ
iect was to connect the system of rail-
roads on the Jersey City side of the
river with the lines In New York and
with the Underground Railroads pro-
posed to be built. The general direc-
tion of the Tunnel is from the foot of
Sixteenth street in Jersey City to
Canal street in New York. The main
shaft on the Jersey side has been COM
pleted and the great arch carried
toward the river q distance of thirty
feet. From this point the tunnel is
divided into two passages with brick
partition wall The work on the con-
nection between the main arch and
the double unnel had not been COM
ple.ed, and it was here the disaster
occurred.
The men were changing shifts at the
UlIU6 duu lucIc oCCluo W ho'O oSNh
some little carelessness during the pas
sing in and out of the connecting
chamber, by which some of the CON-
pressed air escaped. This reduced the
outward pressure relied upon to aid
the iron roof or shield at the unfin-
ished connection in resisting the pres
sure of the sand and water. A break
occurred, the roof gave way, and with
it the brick partition between the two
smaller tunnels. Eight men at work
on the top of the main arch had time
to escape before the water reached
them, but twenty-five on the other
side of the broken connection were
caught and either suffocated or
drowned. One of the eight who es-
capped gave additional horror to the
story of the disaster by stating that
the foremost of those left behind Was
caught by the closing iron door and
held fast. Half in and half out, he
was unable to escape himself and
and barred the way against the escape
of his unhappy comrades, and in this
position, pinned fast to await the rls-
ing of the fatal food, he died a death
of excruciating bodily and mental tor
ture.

their signatures upon the tally sheet,
reported by Messrs. Strauss and Hurd.
Since then Mr.. w. f. Dennis, from
Pine, who was not in the Convention
when the vote was taken upon the 4th
ward of Titusville, has added his name
to said tally list, making thirty. AL
most Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the Convention, s. p War
riner added his name to the list, ac-
companied with statement in these
words:
"Io aohom 1t may concern:
CAS- the Return Judge from Con-
neaut township upon the 18th and 18th
inst. (June), l voted yes upon the mo-
ton to throw out the vote of the 4th
ward of Titusville, but was satisfied
with the result of the vote of 80 (thir-
ty) to 20 (twenty-nine). and the tally
that refused to throw out said vote
and was then and now am of the
opinion that the Chairman of the Con-
vention should have announced the
result, which would have retained the
Titusville vote"
Following such statement of Mr..
Warriner, upon the back of said tally
list is the certificate of George A.
Goodwill, the Return Judge from Steu-
ben, in place of David Mum, in these
words:
~ fully and cheerfully concur in the
foregoing statement of S. p. Warriner,
Return Judge from Conneaut township,
and agree with his conclusions.
Added to such statements of Mes
srs. Warmer and Goodwill, is that of
Mr. A. B. Barton, of Troy township,
and is in the following form:
~ was the Return Judge for Troy
township to the Republican Conven-
ton upon the 18th and 10Th inst, and
was at the time and still am of the
opinion that it was the duty of Chair
man Reisinger to have announced the
result of the vote when called upon by
Col. Carter and others, to declare the
result of 80 against throwing out the
Titusville vote, to 20 rejecting it, al
though I voted yes upon that vote,
which was in favor of throwing it
out"

THE CRAWFORD COUNTY CASE
EXPLAINED.

AS some of our Republicans of this
county would like to understand the
merits of the trouble existing, or grow
ing out of the late Republican Conven-
ton of Crawford county, we give the
following from a statement made and,
appearing in Crawford county papers. 1t
will be seen that the point in the case
is as to whether there was an unfair
or illegal vote at the primary in the
CITY of Titusville that county. DR..
Roberts and S. B. Dick were the can
didates for the Congressional nomina-
ton. Roberts beat Dick in the county
by II3 votes, and Dicks friends dis
covering this, made an attempt, in the
meeting of the Return Judges, to
throw out two wards of Titusvllle,
but failed to have the same done. The
Convention divided and each was de-
clared the nominee of the county. DR..
Roberts and his conferees appeared at
Mercer at the late district conference
and there acted with the conferees of
this county, as was noticed by the
proceedings of the conference, and that
led to the nomination of Mr.. McJun-
kin of this county as the Republican
candidate for Congress in the district,
the nomination being made by two
counties of the same. But, as we have
said, the following will show to the
Republicans of Butler county which
side in Crawford was right and also
show that DR.. Roberts was the fair
nominee of that county.
EXTRACT FROM STATEMENT
at appearing from Secretary Hurd's
report that w. B. Roberts had re-
ceived 2,721 votes for Congress, and
S. B. Dick 2,608 votes for Congress
and that Stewart III. Wilson, c.. w.
Tyler, H. D. Lowing and d. V. Der
ickson had received the highest vote
for the Legislature, they were de-
clared the nominees of the Republican
party at the coming election.
After passing the usual resolutions,
endorsing the Chicago nominations,
pledging support of nominees, anthor-
izing DR.. Roberts to name the Con-
gressional conferees, electing a chair
man of the County Committee, ad-
journed.
It may be interesting to compare
the vote of Titusville at the Primary
Meetings in 1878, for Mr.. Dick, with
that cast for DR.. Roberts in 1880:

this county, the Judge elected at the

stoned before the re-districting of the

riod of five years.-Though no cleo

DEMOCRATIC.

California, Oregon and Nevada may
be safely set down as Republican. AL
though Garfield opposed the Chinese
bill in Congress, the people of these
States will be satisfied when they read
his letter of acceptance. He will, of
course, lose some votes principally in
California;, but not enough to endan-
ger the States. The Republicans car
red the late election in Oregon, gain
ing a Congressman, electing their Su-
preme Judges by over one thousand
majority, and obtained possession of
both branches Of TIA I,esialatare. In
1876 Hayes carried California by 2, sos
majority, and Oregon by SAT majority;
and in 1879 the Republican candidate
for Governor of California was elected
by 20, ,40S plurality. Florida is doubt
full for the reason that it is a Republic
can State, as are also several other
southern States, if fair and honest
election could be had New Jersey is
doubtful because the Republicans have
carried both branches of the Legisla-
ture and made large gains throughout
the State. In Virginia there is spir-
tied struggle going oD between the two
rival factions of the Democratic party,
the Re-adjusters and Debt-payers Each
party has put up separate electoral
ticket, and if they do not settle their
troubles, the Garfield electors will be
chosen. The following is anGthar cal.

If one can believe that DR., Tanner
is not humbugging-and for the last
ten days he has been very well
watched-his fast may have a relative,
if not an absolute Justification. The
doctors and newspapers are taking
more interest in the matter, and are
trying to show that some good may
come of it. The physicians, at least,
have now a chance to urge with re-
newed force their protest against over
eating, and certainly there seems to be
good ground for their opinion, The
New York Herald is greatly in love
with the fasting Doctor, and tells its
readers that the human body is made
up of eighty per cent. of water, and
that Tanner is proving that that much
abused liquid is the mainstay of life.
AS a matter of fact DR.. Tanner in
creased in weight as soon as he took
to water drinking. The Doctor himself
attributes his success to "will power"
and says that he has so trained him
