drawn from the list of nominees be
fore the Convention, and Mr.. Lock
wood again rose. Il am instructed"
said he, ITO present the name Of Mr..
Junkin. While no words Of mine
col fitly testify to his worth, the nom-
ination will be seconded by gentle
man, member OF the Philadelphia
bar, who can present his claims in the
proper light"
William c. Harris, in seconding the
motion, observed, amid great applause
that Mr. Junkin's qualities as judge
were OF first class order, and if put up
on their ticket would be thoroughly
recognized by the whole people of
Philadelphia and wherever he was
known 1t was important that the
nomination for that Office should come
from Philadelphia. They demanded
nothing ard dictated nothing: they
asked nothing unfairly, but only said
to the Convention that for years past,
when there were only five judges on
the Supreme Bench, two were from
Philadelphia. He was credibly in
formed that the Democrats would send
their nomination from Philadelphia
He trusted, in conclusion that the
nomination would meet with unan
nous acceptance.
The motion vas carried unanimous
ly amid great cheering.

DEATHS.

CHRISTY.-On May 18th, 1882, Mrs. Mary
Christy, wife of Robert Christy of Pleasant
Valley, Butler county, Pa.
Her sickness was of short duration, only
about four days. when she was released from
all earthly pain. Mrs. Chrsty was the daugh
ter of Daniel and Sarah Wright. She was a
consistent member of the Presbyterian church
for about twenty-five years: In health her
seat was never vacant in the house of God /; al
ways ready and willing to obey the Masters
call in everything that was for the good and
advancement of his kingdom. She was highly
esteemed by all who knew her. As wife she
was kind and affectionate, as mother she was
loving and patient. }. l.. c.
HARRISON-On May Dist, 1882, Mrs. Almira
j. Harbison wife of Geo. L. HARRISON, OF
Clinton twp.
The deceased leaves a husband, four mother
less children and many friends to mourn her
loss. She had been greatly afflicted for several
years by that comfort destroyer, dropsy. We
trust our loss is her eternal gain. 5. B. 5.
SMALLEY.-On May 23d, 1882, Mabel, infant
daughter of John D. and SLrah E. Smalley, of
Clinton twp, of membraneOus Group, aged

Pa on March 30th, 1882. John Harvey, in
fant son of Robert 4. and Mary Brown, aged
year and days.
Oh. the empty. empty cradle,
That must now be put away;
For little Harvey will not need it,
Never more by nj ght or day.
Pat away the empty cradle,
Keep we only in our sight
That bright glimpse of the fair dwelling,
That little Harvey has to night.

SENATOR MITCHELL's ADDRESS.

His brief speech removed all doubts
that may have existed in the minds of
his bearers. His was the voice of war
II breathed defiance and battle to the
machine. "What was won for Civil
Service Reform at Chicago" he said,
''has not been preserved by the present
Administration, and that, in his
opinion, was sufficient cause for open
war upon spoils-men and their sys-
tem
"Call the roll of delegates" said
Chairman Mitchell to the Secretary as
soon as the tidal wave of cheers which
greeted his address had subsided-and
the Secretary did as ordered, but he
did il under difficulties. Every name
which the audience recognized as that
of fighting Independent was received
with cheering, which continued until
the possessor OF the name rose and sig
nifed his presence.
"I am here" was all that Wolf said,
but he said it in such a way that meant
a great deal. II am here, too," re-
sponded Senator Stewart to the cheers
"I am here to resolve with you," "thun-
dered DR.. w. c. Doane, "that this Con
vention shall place the grand old Re
publican party where the immorta
| Lincoln found it and where the saintec
| Garfield would have left it,"
And so it ran on all through the list
Hampton L. Carson was furiously
cheered, and so was Major Merrick
Wolfe moved for committees on Plat
form and Permanent Organization
They were appointed and the Conven
ton took recess.
The Committee on Permanent Or
ganization reported III. l.. Foster, o
Oil City, for Chairman, and after tn
report was unanimously ratified, tina
gentleman, in assuming the duties o
the chair, delivered an address il
which in reply to query, why he, tn
former President of Garfield clu'
should occupy his present position, de
clared that his services in behalf o
Garfield were all the more reason tha
he should do all in his power to crusl
the system to which Garfeld's dealt
was directly traceable.

INDEPENDENT CONVENTION


We give in this weeks CITIZEN as
full an account as possible of the pro-
ceedings of the Independent Republi-
can State Convention, held in Phila-
delphia last week. We copy from the
Philadelphia Press and it may, there
fore, be relied upon as correct. 1t is
our desire to give full and fair accounts
of all going on in political matters, so
that our readers may have all the news
and thus be enabled to judge for them
selves on all questions, whether of men
or of measures.
There is no disputing the fact that
the ticket placed in nomination by the
Independent Republican State Conven.
tion is composed of most worthy citl'
zens. That it is a good one, and 9
very strong one, all are willing to con-
cede. The platform CT principles is ad
mirable in thought and expression. Il
takes up and finishes what the Harris
burg Convention omitted. The new
rules, now laid down by both Conven
tions. if honestly carried out, will fret
the party in the future from all th'
| tyranny and dictatorial methods of on
| man or one set OF men.

JUDGE MCJ of this place,
came near being the nominee of the
Philadelphia Republican State Con-
vention for Judge of the Supreme
Court. He has the satisfaction of
knowing, however, that the nominee
Mr.. Junkin, bears the greater part of
his name, only the MAC" being drop
ped. The proceedings of the Conven-
ton, when it came to nominate can
didate for Supreme Judge, show what
queer little incidents may sometimes
lead to queer results. Concerning this
matter of Supreme Judge it rust be
regretted that neither of the Republi-
cnn nominees so far named is from the
Western part ofthe State. Mr.. Rawle,
nominated by the Harrisburg Conven-
tion of May 10, lives in Philadelphia
and was slated by Senator Cameron
for that position more than six months
ago. Mr. Junkin, nominated by the
Convention of May "a, also resides in
Philadelphia. The people of the
Western part of the State want relief
from that unjust decree by which they
are compelled to 60 to Philadelphia for
q hearing of their causes, and it looks
as if they were not going to get it.

THE WAY OUT.

The Harrisburg Convention, of May
10, nominated Thomas M Marshall
for the post of Congressman-at Large
1t adjourned without making any pro-
vision for the filing of any vacancies
on its ticket. There is, therefore, nc
power in any other than the people Ia
gil any vacancy occurring on it. The
State Central Committee, appointed by
that body, cannot fill any such vacancy,
simply because no such power was
given it. But if power had been given,
it would be very dangerous expert
ment on the part of the State Com
mittee to exercise it. AS it is, it would
be simply usurpation on its part to at
tempt any such thing. Its nominating
q candidate would not be respected.
Mr.. Marshall has declined, and his
place must be filled by q regular con-
vention springing from Republicans of
the whole State. This may prove a
fortunate circumstance at present, and
open the door for way out of the will
derness in which the Republicans of
the State are at present found.
Since the Harrisburg Convention
the Philadelphia one has been held,
May "a. 1t nominated full Republi-
can State ticket. Col. William Nc
Michael, its nominee for Congressman
at Large, is a strong and good man,
in every respect. All Republicans
could vote for him. But whether he
be chosen in the place of Mr. Marshall
or not, is not now the question The
matter is 10 have a neW Convention, to
see if all difficulties may not be remov-
ed. The Independent Republicans
would doubtless meet half way any
proposition looking TO concession and
one united ticket IF there should be
three one legged soldier candidates up
on this combined ticket, what would
be surer omen of success in Novem-
ber I? As matters stand, defeat of both
Republican tickets now in the field is
certain in the fall. The escape from
this-and the only one We see-is by
q new State Convention, by and at
which all matters at variance i9 the
party could be solved. We are pleased
to see that this view is meeting with
favor from both sides.

Don CAMERON is reported as saying
that be is for "war to the knife" to
crush out the Independent Republicans
of the State and their ticket. If this
is so he will soon have few followers.
He is also reported as offering to "old
Tom MARSHALL" the right to name the
man for the place on the ticket he,
Marshall, declined. This is like that
individual we read of in the Bible, Of
fering to give things he did not own.
Mr.. Marshall would doubtless resent
any such effort to entrap him, by max
ing him party 10 the worst kind OF
bossism. The fight going on now is
Just against such assumptions, the set
ting up and stating tickets in advance
of public sentiment or ignoring iIdi-
vidusl effort and personal merit.

ed him by the Harrisburg Republican
State Convention of May 10, will be

letter is not as explicit as was general

The nomination of Congressman-at
Large was effected in short order and
with great enthusiasm. Joseph r.
Rhodes, of Philadelphia. in a very few
words presented the name of Colonel
William McMichael. E. Dunbar
Lockwood quickly seconded the nom.
ination and moved that Col. McMichael
be elected by acclamation. The propo-
sition was received with great ap-
plause, and cries of "Question Ques-
tion =. from all parts of the hall. The
Chairman, in putting the motion,
asked for hearty response, which
was given with a will Then there
were more applause and cheering and
loud cries for Colonel McMichael, but
as that gentleman was not present the
Convention proceeded to its last task.

The Chairman announced that the
candidates for nomination were Ebe-

"Nr. Owens has joined our company be-
cause he finds the wear and tear OF the star

effect that DR.. Kings friends, who are pro-
vided for in the December will, were mere
Nv drinking associates, was unfounded, be-
cause the drinking characteristics OF the

Tony Pastor owns and runs frst-clasS
theatre on Broadway, New York city, and
has gathered about him the best troupe OF
variety artists that could be obtained any
where. The company has just completed
brilliant engagement mt the Walnut-Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, and after the present
tour they will reappcar In Tony Pastors
own theatre in New York city. Mr.. Pastor
il the originator Of his peculiar school of
character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by his
talents large fortune.
The writer Of this article met Mr.. Pastor
recently at the Bingham House, in Phila-
delphia, and found him as genial in private
as he is amusing before the public. During
our conversation inquired as TO his physi.
cal health, and he replied that, notwitll-
standing the strain upon him in the dis
charge OF his professional duties, it was ex-
cellent. lie had occasionally severe pains,
either the result OF rheumatic attacks or
colds, but any complaints OF that charac-
ter never troubled him long, rs he had
found Nout remedy for all such annoy
ing affections. l asked him what the
remedy was, and he replied. "St. Jacobs
OIL" then learned from Mr.. Pastor that
he considered the Great German Remedy
an excellent preparation for the cure or re-
lief Of rheumatisrl, and that ii was about
the only thing used among professional
people for that distressing complaint. He
took bottles Of il with him whenever he
went travelling, and would not be without
it, and knew that il was very popular with
a number Of members OF his own CON-
pany. A conversation held subsequently,
with various members OF the organization
revealed the fact that 81. Jacobs Oil had
been performing most invaluable service
for them In the WAY OF curing them OF
rheumatism. Nearlv every artist in the
troupe used ii, and was enthusiastic in its
praise, and the wriier was really forced TO
the conclusion that Tony Pastor was GER
family In luck in having 30 valuable an arti-
Gle known and employed by his inimitably
good company OF performers: for ii en-
abled every one to be always in his place.
thus insuring comfort TO the management
and genuine satisfaction 10 the public.
Tony Pastor would certainly be In trouble
without ST. Jacobs Oil. At least. other
managers whose artists have been tempo
rarily unsuppied have noticed the differ
encc between st. Jacobs Oil in stock and
81. Jacobs Oil out Of stock-amoDg the
