COUNTY COMMITTEE MEET
ING

About the first thing the committee
will consider when it meets on April
7. is. whether it will elect the delegates
to the Harrisburg State Convention OF
May 10, or whether it will pass that
duty over to the next committee, arls-
ing out of the next primaries. II the
present committee elects the said dele
gates, then the next primary may prob
ably be put at period beyond the 10Th
of Mav-probably in June sometime
But if the present committee thlnKthey
should not elect the delegates to the
State Convention, and that that matter
ought to be referred to the people and
come more directly from the people
than it can from the present committee
then the primaries will probably be
fixed in the early part of May, at a
date prior to the 10th of May, the date
of the State Convention. In other
words if the present committee, when
it meets on April 7th, proceeds to
select the State delegates, then there
will be no necessity for fixing the prl-
mary election of this year before the
date of the State Convention, May 10.
This for the reason that it, the present
committee, will have done all the work
that required action relative to the
State Convention, and consequently
the coming primary need not have, and
will not have, any relation, as to time,
with the State Convention. On the
other hand, if the present committee,
when it meets on April I, should be OF
opinion, that, inasmuch as the members
of it were chosen nearly a year ago,
and without reference to or possible
knowledge Of the political questions or
candidates that have arisen this year
there should, therefore, be direct ap
peal to the people On all such new Oh
present questions, then, if this view il
taken, the committee on April 7, will
very likely name the early part OF May
for the primary. in order that it may
come off before the State Convention
and in order that the delegates be ap
pointed by the County Convention
springing from the next primaries
Owing to the many new questions ano
State candidates that have arisen this
| is the view and course that many
think should be taken by the coming
committee.
We have thus stated the position al
fully and fairly as possible, 30 that can
didates, committee men and all, may
understand the situation.

Republican County Convention met in
Horticultural Hall this morning at
eleven O'Clock. The members were
called to order by Chairman Pierce,
who called the roll of delegates, to
which one hundred and nineteen ans
yeFed as present. A permanent or
ganlzation was effected by the election
of A. p. Reid, of West Chester, rs
chairman, his opponent being General
B, F. Fisher, of Schuylkill Township.
The only business before the conven-
ton was the selection of one Senator
ial and four Representative delegates
to the State Convention William M.
Hayes, of West Chester, was nomil-
ated and elected Senatorial delagate.
The convention then elected Represen-

of Spring City. Southern District
DR.. Benjamin Thompson, of New Gar
den Township. Eastern District
George r. Hopes, of West Chester.

The following resQlption was offered

the Butler Committee, and carried

Resolved, That the delegates elected

to support Hon. Samuel Butler for the
Office of Governor and to use all hon.
orable means to secure his election.
J. o. X. Robarts, editor ofthe Pben-
isyille Messenger. and delegate, offer
ed the following resolution
WHEREAS, Primal source OF doyern.
ment Of this Nation Is Of the people !
and,
WHEREAS, The tendencies OF politl-
clans are towards wrestling from the
many this fundamental prerogative
and the relegation of power to the few
who make politics business and,
WHEREAS, This State Of affairs has
naturally resulted In the abridgement
Of iaslieDable rights and the elevation
TO Office Of men Of mediocrity and
doubtful character thus casting oGium
upon the once proud fame of this Com
monweaIth therefore, be it,
Resolved, That the delegates this
day chosen to represent Ohestsr Gogn-
ty in the approaching Republican Con
vention Of the State Of Pennsylvania,
be and are hereby instructed to use their
best endeavors at that gathering to
wrest the party there represented from
machine influences and boss methods, to
nominate candidates for suffrage on the
first Tuesday in November next whose
past records do not SAVIOR of the ring
and whose claims for popular favor rest
solely upon fitness, probity and a full
appreciation Of tho idea that the people
are supreme.
This resolution was ably seconded
by both General Fisher aud Colonel
Hooten, who denounced the machine
politics and boss rule in strong terms.
The resolution was carried without OPP
position, after which the convention
adjourned.

In the CITIZEN this week, under the
head Of Estate Politics." we give artl-
cles from various papers, rejecting the
different shades of opinion existing as
to State candidates and State issues for
this fall. Our object in doing 80 is to
give the Republicans of this county,
and especially the members of the pres:
ent Republican County Committee, all
the information we can as to the pres
ent run of politics in this State. The
Committee is called to meet on the 7th
April inst, and as they will have,
very probably, important work to do,
it is all important that they he
thoroughly posted on all current poll
tics, and have proper insight as to
the aturc and bearing OF the same on
candidates that may be proposed for
our suffrage or votes.

ENDING OF MISSSMITH CASE
INTERESTING SCENE IN COURT.

The case of the Commonwealth
against Miss Mary Elizabeth Smith,
now Mrs. Bolinger, of Cherry town
ship, this county, was given to the
jury about IL O'Clock last Saturday.
We might here explain that she was
indicted under her maiden name, as
the offence charged was committed be-
fore her marriage. The jury was out
but short time, returning before the
noon adjournment of the Court with a
verdict of not guilty. When this was
announced quite scene followed. The
jurymen who rendered the verdict,
upon being discharged from their long
and patient laL or, Immediately assem-
bled around Mrs. Bollinger and con-
graduated her very heartily on the re-
suit of the trial. This was followed
by the congratulations Of her relatives,
neighbors and friends, 10 such an ex-
tent that the desire to congratulate the
young woman became very general
There were tears seen in the eyes Of
brave, stout men, as well as in those
of the women present. Altogether it
was an unusual scene to happen in a
Court room after trial, and many
present were deeply. affected. The
jury further prepared a copy of their
verdict, and each one signed his name
to the same, and then, in body, called
ed upon the lady at her stopping place
and in due form presented it to her.
This will be keepsake to her worthy
Of all regard and preservation. The
names of the jurymen are as follows
II. W. Mcconnell, Slipperyrock twp.

This trial, in some Of its phases, was
perhaps the most remarkable one ever
had in the county. The trial was for
what might be considered infanticide.
Many things pointed to Miss Smith az
the mother Of dead child found under
the coal house Of her home. But many
other things, and the testimony Of cx-
perienced physicians, all concurred in
saying that she was not its mother If
it was conspiracy to injure her-the
placing the dead body Of an infant
where found-then it was the most wick
ed and depraved act ever committed in
this county But we hope now to
hear no more Of this matter in any
way. We join in congratulating all
that 80 deep stain has been removed
from one so young, 80 fair and 80
well connected by marriage and in
society.
