A Card.

EDS. CIR .ZEN:-My attention has just
been called to a statement by Thomas
Robinson in last weeks issue Of the
Eagle in regard to Mr.. Harding's appli-
cation for licence in Concord twp, and
his connection Herewith.
Whether Mr.. Robinson was attor-
uey for Mr.. Harding or not l do not
know, but | do know that while the
license Court was being held, or proba-
bly, few days before. was spoken to
by Mr., Robinson in regard to Mr..
Harding's application. Mr.. Robinson
informed me that Mr.. Harding was
married to Christley, of Centreville,
that be, Robinson, was very friendly
to that family and was anxious to have
Mr.. Harding succeed in getting license
at Troutman. | suggested to him
that he mark his name with mine TO:
the application. This he declined
doing, but said he would speak or had
spoken to Judge Weir on the subject
and that Weir was or would be in ia
vor of the license, and that he was sat
isfed that if Judge McJunkin did not
oppose the licence it would be granted.

THREE of the six Delegates At

State Convention last week to the
Chicago National Convention, are from
the Western part of the State, to wit,
Hon. ]. W. Lee, of Venango county;
Mr.. P. L. Kimberly, of Mercer county,
and Hon. Lewis Emery, of Mexican
county. Judge Jessup ofSusquehanna

For President.

The Republican State Convention
obeyed the will of the masses OF the
Republican party of Pennsylvania and
instructed her delegates-at-large to the
National Convention to vote for the
Hon. James G.. Blaine as her choice
for President. We raise his name
therefore to the head of the CITIZEN
this week.
This action of the State Convention
is not only in accord with the express
ed sentiment of the Republicans OF this
county but with that of the Republi.
cans of the State as well. The six
Delegates-at-Large, who are to repre-
sent the State at the Chicago National
Convention, are all friends OF Blaine
and are instructed to support him as
long as his name is before that Conven-
tion. The district delegates are in
structed by the people and Blaine
should therefore receive Pennsylvania
full yote-about 60. Unless the will
of the people is again ignored we look
for his nomination on first ballot in the
National Convention. The names Of
the Delegates-at-Large and the proceed
inps Of the Convention will be seen in
another place.
FOB VICE PRECEDENT,
We also raise the name of Robert l..
Lincoln, Of Illinois, only son of Abra-
ham Lincoln, the first martyr Presl-
dent of the United States. Should the
national convention present these names
to the people they will sweep the coun-
Try beyond doubt.
ron coNGREssMAN-AT-LARGE,
We place the name of General +. 5.
Osborne, of Luzerne county, the NOM
inee Of the State Convention, in its
proper place.
THE ELECTORAL TICKET,
Will hereafter be placed in its proper
place. 1t is particular matter, as to
qualification, and may need some re
vision.

THAT "a Judgeship should seek the
man and not the man the Office" is a
wise saying that all good citizens un-
derstand the value of and Importance.
A candidate for most all other Offices
may personally solicit and button-hole
the citizen for his vote, but when it
comes to the high Office of a Judge, a
position requiring legal learning, ex-
perience and full competency, then it is
regarded as indelicate and out of place
for a man to say, Il want you to vote
for me for Judge" And when this is
done, the voter naturally inquiries of
himself, lis the applicant fit ?" "Is he
the fittest candidate offering?" And if
not and | vote for him, "may | not be
doing wrong to myself and the pub
lie, whose interest it is to have upon
our Bench the best legal learning we
can obtain z"

and in no secret manner, nor desiring
in any way to conceal the fact of get

containing the ballots from Mrs Wick,
who gave them to him in presence of
all in the room He took the cigar box
and burned it and the ballots, intact, in

A Just Complaint.

It seems there is disappointment and
bitter complaint following the manner
by which the two delegates to the Ma
tional Convention for this district were
chosen ct the Greenville conference on
the llth inst. The Republican papers
Of Crawford county, as well as some OF
those Of Mercer county, came to rs last
week strongly denouncing what they
allege was An unfair bargain made be-
tween the conferees of Mercer and But
ler counties at said conference, and by
which bargain Mercer and Butler coun-
ties agreed to divide the delegates be-
tween themselves, and did 80. By this
action it is claimed that Crawford
county was unduly and uDjustly de-
prived Of her right to one Of said dele
gates. The charge of unfair dealing in
the matter is founded upon the fact,
that whom the conferees Of the three
counties went into session the first bal
lot developed the election of Butler
and Mercer county delegate. Craw-
ford was thus left out, very unexpect-
edly to them, and hence the complaint.
Were 1t not for the fact that the right
Of Crawford county, to one of the dele
gates on the present occasion, was free
ly acknowledged by the Republicans of
this county who understood the situa-
tion, we would not think the matter
worthy of serious notice. In the CITI-
ZEN Of Feb. 81, we referred to the right
Of Crawford to one Of the delegates to
be chosen this time, as matter that
should be conceded to that county.
And our only purpose now is to place
the Republicans, generally, Of this
county right in this matter And this
because Of the serious effect this action
Of Butler and Mercer may have in the
political affairs Of the district. We
agree with the GreenviIle Advance-
Argus, that honesty is the best policy
in political as well as other matters, and
that this matter, like chickens, may
come home to roost
The facts are about as follows: -Four
years ago, 1880, Butler and Mercer
counties bad the two delegates to the
National Convention and Crawford
then accepted the Elector. The Elec-
tor matter is not regarded as Of 30
much political Importance or honor as
that Of being delegate. Therefore,
without going any farther back than
four years ago, Crawford county natu-
rally expected ono of the delegates at
this Presidential year, and that Butler
or Mercer would take the Elector now,
to be determined between them which
one. This, we are bound in justice to
say, would have been the proper action
Of the conference, the more especially
rs Crawford is much the larger In pop
ulation and Republican vote of the
three counties OF the district. The Re.
publicans OF this county should not be
held responsible for this dealing to-
wards Crawford county in this matter.
Our people were not desiring or look
ing for anything Of that kind.

THE proceedings of State Convention
as whole were responsive to the de-
mands ofpublic opinion. A few of the
old time m chine bosses happened to
get into the convention, and there was
perhaps a little too much of disposi-
tion shown to humor them, in order to
have as much unity of action as posi-
BILE. 1t was the first tate,Convention,
however, for years past that was not
ruled by State ring, and the election
of Delegates by the people will soon
wipe away any vestige of machine
work in Pennsylvania

THE Delegates from this county to
the State Convention, Messrs. Harley,
Barr and Brandon, took an active part
in the same and their votes are
generally satisfactory. Mr.. Harley
particularly distinguished himself, in
the early proceedings of the convention,
by moving for instructions for Blaine
and Lincoln. His motion was carried by
200 yeas to only 81 nays. Some, we
see, are criticising what they term hia
hasty or out Of order motion, but, all
things considered, we cannot say hut
what the motion was needed just at the
time it was made. The only part OF
his remarks made that perhaps might
be subject to criticism, was bis mention
Of the name of Simon Cameron as ap.
proving of the motion he made. The
people having spoken, and instructed
their delegates, the wishes or opinions
of any one single man in the State
could and would have made but little
impression upon that Convention.
MAJ. K. j. PHrPPs, Of VenaDgo Co,
was in town this week on business He
was a member of the Republican State
Convention last week and informed us
that one Of his votes in the same woS
not correctly reported. He was pub
lished as voting for the minority re-
port Of the commit ee on the contested
case for seats in the convention from
Pittsburgh, whereas in fact he voted
for the majority report to admit the
Blaine delegates From all we can
learn Of the vote on that case we be-
Iieve that the majority report Of the
committee was really adopted, or would
have been 30 had the matter been un-
dcrstood little better in the conven-
tion.
Since writing the above Mr.. Harley,
Of Petrolia, the Senatorial delegate
from this county in the convention,
also called at our Office on Monday last,
and says that he is mis-printed on the
same question and vote, and that he
voted for the majority report Of the
committee on the contested seat case
from Pittsburgh to admit the Blaine
contestants.
Mr. Barr, another Of our delegates,
was also in town on last Monday and
paid us a pleasant visit Mr. Barr
voted for the minority report, admitting
the anti-Blaine delegates from Pitts
burgh into the convention.
