Hope 1t is Not True.

We see it stated that Messrs. Cooper
and Quay, Republicans of influence in
this State, were at Washington City
last week and called upon President
Arthur, and gave him words OF encour-
acement towards being d candidate for
the Republican nomination for next
President. We sincerely hope this
may not be true. But if true, these
men are making a great mistake.
They can know but little Of the feelings
of the people. Their feelings are not
in that direction by any means. On
the contrary the nominationsof Arthur
woald be looked upon as defeat in adj
vance. Thousands OF Republicans
would never vote for him under any
circumstances. While they have any re
spect for the memory of Garfield they
can never do 80. But there are other
reasons besides this that would cause
his nomination to sink the party in o
hopeless effort to elect him 1t is utter
blindness to think of nominating him,
and we cannot believe there is any ser
ious effort making in any quarter mol
will be any made to do so. And il
would be equally blind mistake tc
make any effort to give him the vote
of Pennsylvania in the next National
Convention. We hope the gentlemen
referred to are misrepresented in theil
recent mission to Washington, as we
see others have been who were report.
ed as being with them, but who were
not even present on the occasion.

Make a Way for Escape.

During a discussion among the Re-
publican members of the Senate at Har-
risburg, last week, it was stated by one
of them that he believed the Democrat
ic members would accept the McCracA
en- Congressional bill, "if it were
changed in the least manner" This
has been our opinion for some weeks
past. All, we think, many Democrats
now would like to have is way to es-
cape, hole to get out of, so that 1t
could not be said of them they backed
squarely out. AS it stands they are
publicly committed against this Nc
Cracken bill, and the Republicans as
publicly for it, Neither party can ex-
pect the other to now yield without
humiliation. And as this McCracken
bill can be made more acceptable to the
people of at least one district we know
of, we suggest that Change" be there
made. We allude, as we have before,
to the district in which it is proposed
to put Butler county. BY this Nc
Cracken bill we are connected with
Washington county. To do this it
was necessary to cut off and run in a
strip from Allegheny county, else we
could not "make the connection" with
Washington county. This strip OF
Allegheny county lays almost entirely
along Beaver county. Now Beaver is
placed, by the McCracken bill, in dis
trict with Lawrence and Mercer coun-
ties. BY population this Beaver,
Lawrence and Mercer district falls
short about fifteen thousand of the
necessary required ratio for district
While on the other hand the proposed
district Of Butler, the strip of Allegheny
and Washington county, erceed the
required ratio by more than ten thou
sand. Now if the counties of Beaver
and Butler were but simply transposed,
Beaver placed where Butler is and But
Ter where Beaver is, it would make the
two districts not only more equal in
population. and thus meet the required
ratio better, but it would meet the re-
quirements Of the Constitution better
in the matter of compact and contigu.
GUS territory" For Butler with Wash
ington county as district is anything
bat compact territory, as a glance al
the map will show. This change then
is one that should be made, and can be
made without disturbing any other dis.
tricts, and would, beside, make at leas,
one way Of escape for those opposed tc
the McCracken bill, as they could then
say it was not the original bill, and
they could vote for it without being
liable the charge Of ofJacking OIL entirely
AS we understand, both parties in oul
county generally favor this change, Oh
account of it being more natural ant

Death of Campbell E. Purviance,
Esquire.

1t becomes our task to record the
death of another of our oldest citizens.
Campbell f. Purviance, Esq. departed
this life on Monday evening last, in
the 18th year of his age. If We are
not mistaken he was the oldest citizen
of this town who was born in it. Few
men were better known in the county
and few had more active and varied
experience in life. Briefly described,
his character was that of an honest,
candid and truthful man. Deceit or
hypocricy were strangers to his nature.
OF decided convictions he was fearless
and outspoken in all his views. He
loved the right in all things for the
sake of the right, and he Indignantly
condemned the wrong, the unjust or
the unfair in all things and under all
circumstances. Mr.. Purviance was
man of far more than ordinary reading
and learning. There were but few
sciences or subjects upon which he
could not converse with much lntelil-
gence. His mind was naturally in
clined to study and investigation. His
knowledge of history was remarkable
and his memory wonderfully retentive.
He had been in failing health for some
time past and his death, while not un-
expected, is deeply regretted by our
whole community.
From the late history Of Butler coun-
ty we take the following sketch relative
to the life and business career OF Mr..
Purviance:
Campbell E. Purviance is a son of the late
John Purviance, Esq, and was born in Butler
on the 9th of May, 1906. At an early age he
learned the printing business, in the office of
Maurice and John Bredin. After working
some wears at his trade he commenced the
mercantile business and continued IN that until
he began the manufacture of gun powder, IN
which he was engaged about IA years and up
to the time he was elected Prothonotary OF the
county, in 1S45. About the time of the gold
excitement in California he, with number of
others, went there, but the enterprise did not
prove successful. When the late civil war
commenced he volunteered and was appointed
and commissioned Commissary of substance
of volunteers, with the rank Of Captain, on the
9TH of July, 1864, and was honorably discharg-
ed on the 10th of August, 1865, and for faithful
service was brevetted Major. He was married
January /, 1885, to Miss Catharine Bredin,
daughter of the late Hon. John Bredin, and had
ten children, seven of whom are living; his
wife died in the spring OF 1854"
Hon. Samuel A. Purviance, young
er brother, died in Allegheny city a
year or 80 ago. General John n.
Purviance, his only other brother, is
yet living among US in health and en-
gagged in active business. Besides
him he leaves behind three sisters,
Mrs. Eliza Orr and Mrs. Adelia Bredin,
living in this place, and Mrs. Eleanor
BrYden. residing in Franklin, Pa.
