From Saturdays New York Tribune.
Personal government prostitutes
o public trust to the advantage of a
ruler or boss. Popular government
treats all official power as sacred
trust, to be used solely for the good of
the people. 1t considers any man a
wrong-doer and plunderer who uses
for the benefit of any person or fac
ton the trust designed to establish
and maintain government of the peo.
pie, and for the people, True Repnb-
licanism demands such a government
and no other. Personalism seeks gov
ernment of boss, and for boss.
1.-The best and truest Republicans
are those who are most faithful to Re.
publican principles, in this as in other
respects The use of official position
and power by Senator Cameron to
perpetuate his own dictatorship, to
deprive the people of their rightful
share in the government, and to make
a great political party merely the too
of his personal will or ambition, is al
war with Republican principles, and
those are better and truer Republicans
than he is who resists that abuse o.
power"

The Old Burial Ground.

The condition Of the old grave yard
of this place is again demanding the
attention of some of our citizens
Some years ago the old stone fence
around that burial lot was removed,
for some cause, and with the promise
that an iron one would be put in it's
place. The stone fence is gone but
no iron one is yet in its place, as prom
ised. Somebody is in default in this
matter and it should be looked up.
Besides this. the weeds and grass
are now growing up rank in this old
burial ground, so sacred to the men,
ory of many old citizens who lay
buried there. Should there not be a
meeting of citizen for the purpose Of
having something done to reclaim
the old burial place of the town from
desolation?

PETITIONS CIRCULATED,

A petition asking for new State
Convention and an entirely new ticket
and circulated in Fredonia received
thirty-two signatures out OF thirty
seven Republicans who were approach
ed. This is a significant straw. The
same petition circulated all over the
State would make imperative solu-
ton of existing difficulties hitherto
bitterly opposed by Chairman Cooper
The above Ia taken from the
Mercer, Pa, Republican, of last
Thursday, and if the Republicans in
other parts of the State would take the
matter in hand, as have the Repuoli'
cans of Fredonia, Mercer county, we
would vet have new State Conven-
lion. Nine-tenths of the Republicans
of this county are in favor of new
State Convention, as the only way
out of the present condition. We
have been advocating it all along and
have not yet given up hope that
something of that kind will be done.
IF the candidates of one wing had
accepted the proposition of the other
to all withdraw and have new
ticket, there would have been a new
convention called before this. But as
the matter stands, any hope or action can
only come through the people now,
and the Republicans of Mercer county
have therefore set a good example
which if followed up by other counties
will lead to good result.

We condoned Mr.. Braham's, and
may 90 farther. ."-Eag.e last week.
Thanks, thanks, good priest. Mr.. Da-
vies, now candidate on the Regular Re-
publican State ticket for Lieutenant
Governor, as a State Senator from
Bradford county last winter year,
voted for Galusha A. Grow for
United States Senator against the
caucus man, Oliver. Mr.. Braham,
as member of the House
from this county, did the same thing.
They both did one and the same
thing at one and the same time
both obeying the wishes of their
people. Mr.. Robinson, senior editor
of the Eagle here, forgot about Mr.
Davies vote, but did not forget
about Mr.. Braham's, and was, uns
thinkingly no doubt, making use OF II
against Mr.. Braham But we are
glad he has corrected himself. They
are both "condoned" now, pardoned,
and may be happy. True, the Re
publicans of this county had icon.
doned' Mr.. Braham at the late pri,
maries, by regularly and fairly nomi-
mating him, by the highest vote given
to any candidate for the Assembly
But Mr.. Robinson has now added his
"condone," and the pardon is there
fore perfect and complete.

THE Republicans of New York, say
the West Chester Pa, Village Record,
are in no haste, apparently, about
making their nomination for Governor
to be voted for in November. Their
State Committee, which met in New
York City on Wednesday, discussed
three different dates-the 18th, Goth
and 9th of September-and decided
on the Goth. No earlier time was
even suggested, and it calls attention,
once more, to the great haste shown
in Pennsylvania, at times. This year
the Harrisburg convention met Oh the
10th of May, but even earlier dates had
been proposed. This was six months
before the election. Iowa, Illinois and
other of the Northern States have held
their Convictions within a few days.
Massachusetts has appointed hers for
some time in September. In the case
of New York, whose large area, COM
plicated political relations and close
divisions of parties make the campaign
very severe and laborious, it would
seem that as much time would be need
ed as in any other State, yet the Re
publicans there give themselves
just seven weeks. Their ideas seem
to differ very widely from those pre-
vailing in Pennsylvania.

ACCORDING to General Beaver, Mr.
Davies and the others of the regular"
ticket the proposition of Stewart and
his associates, that all the candidates
withdraw, is "defranchising" them,
and they treat it as an unheard of
thing. Did not Grow and Wanamaker
decline to be nominated Did not
Marshall decline the nomination that
had been given him Did not Blaine
and Sherman command their friends
and supporters at Chicago to vote for
them no longer, when they thought
they could save their party by so do
ing? The people have not, of course,
any right to suppose that political
bosses will decline for the sake of
harmony They are not in politics
for harmony. or to decline; they are in
politics for themselves, and to make
all they can out of it, and when they
get nomination they are naturally

they differ from the independents

Why Beaver is Losing Ground

DoyIestown InteIIlgencer, Rep.
General Beaver is certainly acquaint-
ed with the fact that good many Re-
publicans in Pennsylvania have deter
mined that "boss" rule shall come to
an end in this State, and that Senator
Cameron shall not have things all his
own way at Harrisburg next winter.
Although the regular Republican ca n
didate for Governor asserts that he be-
longs to no man, he cannot fail to see
that the old machine" is working with
might and main for his election. Gen.
Beaver is consequently losing ground
with the people. 1t may be his fault
or merely his misfortune; the fact is
apparent

MercerCo. Committee Meeting


The County Committee at its meet
ing on Saturday exhibited a distaste
for foolishness. Certain parties, be-
coming imbued with the strictly Stall
Wart element to secure prestige by the
introduction Of resolutions endorsing
the regular State ticket and the action
of the regular State Committee, prepar-
ed such resolutions and had them
presented to the Committee. That
body was not in a humor to pass reso-
lqtions prepared for purely factional
purpose They at once stirred up the
opposition that was anticipated and
that the apthoFs Of the resolutions had
hoped to crush with storming affirma-
tive vote. The sequel showed the
utter folly of the movement, and the
discord that threatened the success of
our county ticket The resolutions
were disposed of in summary man.
per, but not until considerable feeling
was manifested and it became apparent
that their adoption would meet the
disapproval of considerable portion of
the Republicans of the county. Pru-
dence, the safety of local candidates
and the desire to secure practical har-
mony In county affairs, coupled with
the direct opposition of portion of the
Committee to the resolutions, made it
advisable to lay the whole matter aside.
The temper and action of the Com
mittee revealed the fact that the pre-,
dominant feeling in the county was for
a new convention and an entirely new
ticket Another conclusion was vir-
tually reached, namely, that whatever
honest differences of opinion actually
existed in State politics the two
wings of the party would mutually
recognize each other as Republicans
and work harmoniously together to
elect the county ticket, which was of
supreme importance. Excepting this
one jar, the meeting of the Committee
was harmonious and satisfactory. An
efficient chairman was elected who will
skillfully and energetically manage
the campaign. Entire good feeling
over the county ticket is everywhere
reported and it will receive the old
fashioned majority.

Don CAMERoN's strength in the
United States Senate lies with the
Southern members. He makes it a
point to keep on good terms with and
court the influence of the Democratic
Senators from the South. In this
way he has carried some combinations
over the votes of the Northern Re-
publican Senators. In the absence OF
his family from Washington he in
vites as guests to his house Democrat
ic Southern Senators, having two
such there now, Senator Hamburg
Butler of South Carolina, and Sena
tor Vest of Missouri, who live and
lodge with him, as part of his house

IT is the opinion Of many leading
Republicans that Gen Beaver will
soon decline to further be candidate
for Governor This is thought by
some of the wisest and oldest heads
in tho party to be the best course he
could pursue under present circum-
stances. He is yet young, and such
move on his part would not only
solve and settle all questions now
dividing the party, but would make
him vastly stronger in the future.
He could afford to do it.: but he can
not afford to be defeated, as now
seems inevitable he will be. We do
not know what foundation there is
for the reports, coming from Wash
ingt6n and elsewhere, that he will
decline, and not stand in the way of
securing peace and harmony in the
party through one united ticket, but
we do believe that he is not the man
to so stand and risk all his fair future,
when he sees the situation as it really
is. 1t would be manly act on his
p,rt and one that all would remember
n thu future.

ANcgIected Opportunity.

From Wellsboro Pa. Agitator, Aug. II
1t is to be regretted that the Inde-
pendent State Committee, which met
at Philadelphia last Thursday, did not
again submit to Mr.. Cooper's Com
mittee the proposition made by the
folr Independent candidates on the
18th of July. 1t is true that the Reg
ulars had already FASTENED to reject
that proposition when made by the
candidates, and there remained little
hope that they would accept it if
offered by the Committee neverthe-
less it would have been well to give
them a chance to reconsider that re-
lection, in the hope that public opinion
might impel them to reverse their ac-
tion.
But it is now vain to hope for any
compromise or agreement by the two
Committees. The leading spirits of
both of them have evidently become so
heated by the contest on which they
have entered that it is impossible for
them to appreciate or even understand
the feeling of the rank and file of the
party. The only hope of an accommo-
dation now lies in the action of the
candidates themselves and so far as
we can judge, the only substantial OBJ
stacles to peace and union are at pres
ent to be found under the hats of Mr..
Beaver and Mr. McMichael-the head
and tail of the respective tickets-who
seem to be about equal in obstinacy
though not in folly. Whether these
men can be induced to take themselves
out of the way is doubtful but it now
seems reasonably certain that if they
do not withdraw the present factional
fight must go on to its Legitimate con
clusion-the certain defeat of both Re-

Visitors.

Last week we had q visit from sQma
pleasant and valued friends.
DR.. Charles B. Gillespie, of Free
port, Pa, dropped in upon US and we
were really glad to see him in such
robust health and fine spirits. The
Doctor is always in good humor, and
his cordial, hearty ways make him an
ever welcome old friend. There are
few more scholarly gentlemen than
Charles B. Gillespie. His younger
days were spent in Butler and his visit
was to see his aged uncle, Mr. Peter
Duffy, and his many other friends here.
He has been located at Freeport for
some years, where he has acquired an
extensive practice in medicine and
surgery.
Hon. Galusha A. Grow. This gen.
tleman paid Butler visit last week.
He is interested in some coal lands
about Brady's Bend and bis visit was
purely of business nature. Mr.. Grow,
however, talked freely on the political
situation in this State. and the active
and influential part he has heretofore
taken in, politics give bis opinions
value and weight. He thinks there is
but little hope for Republican success
in the State this fall unless the breach
in the party is healed, The proposition
made by the Independents, to with
draw both present tickets, he thought
was the only one that would have
reached to the bottom of the case anG
secured perfect harmony, as it would
haye been useless to have had new
State Convention and re-nominated
either of the old tickets. He had still
hopes of something yet being done tc
secure but one ticket. Few prominent
men in the State have felt the power
of Cameronism more than Mr.. Grow
and he thinks Cameron is now making
bis last struggle but that the people
will win.
Hon. Robert A. Miff1in and Mr.. S
G. Hutchinson, of Washington tp., were
in town last Friday, on business con
nected with the township.
Dr. A. w. Crawford, of Alleg heny
twp, was On business visit here las
week He is looking healthy and
quite active.
Col. John NJ. Sullivan, of Allegheny
city, visits his mother and sister
here frequently.
Thomas w. Phillips, Esq, of New
Castle, is also freqent visitor to
Butler, on oil matters.

and around the county we also no
